Chen Xiao looked at the two of them and smiled.

"I hope you understand your situation, if I shout, what will happen to you two?"

The lives of the two of them were in Chen Xiao's thoughts, and they didn't know it.

Jin Jie nodded, and then replied respectfully: "As long as you let us go, no matter what you want to know or what you get, I will do my best to help." ”

It can be seen that Ginger is a smart person. When dealing with this kind of person, you must either completely subdue it, or cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise there will be endless disasters.

As for the whereabouts of the secret passage, these two people may not know. In the absence of being able to kill them, Chen Xiao must fabricate a background, a background that they dare not resist.

His right hand moved slightly, and the sword body slowly roamed around Jin Jie's neck, making him break out in a cold sweat.

"Whatever I ask next, you answer! Of course, you can lie!"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao's tone sank: "I can tell you clearly, the Li family has many internal responses that we have planted, if you dare to resist or deceive, you will be shaken out and not to mention, and it will be easy for us to take your lives." ”

Both of them showed doubts, and had countless conjectures about Chen Xiao's identity.

At this time, Chen Xiao went straight to the point.

"I heard that the Li family has a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, where is that secret passage?"

Both of them were stunned, although they had heard about the secret passage, they didn't take it seriously. It must be known that there is a moat tens of meters deep outside Lingbo City, and there are sharp blades below, and the secret passage leads to the outside of the city, which is probably a bit impractical.

"My lord, I really don't know this, I'm just a subordinate, how can I know this kind of secret?"

Chen Xiao's eyes sank, and he turned to look at Yang Qing: "What about you, if your Li family wants to live, won't the rest of the family have to live?"

Yang Qing curled up in a ball on the bed, shivering.

"Are you? You're from another family?"

Taking advantage of the situation, it is also a university question. Chen Xiao has been guiding them intentionally or unintentionally, and the sentence just now is undoubtedly to the point.

"Smart, we don't want to start a war with the Li family, as long as we find a secret passage, when the time comes, when the core personnel of the Li family leave, we will follow up, even if the East Window incident happens, presumably Li Changyang will not be good! This is also a matter of your life and death, do you think Li Changyang will take you away?"

Jin Jie's heart trembled, if there was really such a secret passage, Yang Qing might be able to escape, but he would never appear on the list.

"Qingqing, do you know where the secret passage is?

Yang Qing said resignedly: "The Li family does have a secret passage, it is said that it will only be used when the family is alive and dead, as for where this secret passage is! Where it leads, only the core members of the Li family know." ”

Yang Qing's meaning was very clear, that is, she didn't know either.

Chen Xiao frowned and pretended to be displeased: "Then what do I want you to do?"

"My lord, spare my life! I am very familiar with the Li family, I can go and check, many places can actually be ruled out, believe me, I will definitely find this secret passage." ”

"Oh, tell me what is suspicious. ”

Jin Jie's eyes kept rolling, and his mind began to review all corners of the Li family.

"The secret passage is top secret, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to enter this place, in my opinion, it will only appear in these three places, namely the study, the forbidden place in the backyard, and the Li family ancestral hall. ”

Chen Xiao nodded, quite agreeing with Jin Jie's idea.

"What about Li Changyang's room or the room of the ancestor of the Li family, will it be inside?"

"No, the Li family is different from other families, there are generally no valuables hidden in the room, and they are cleaned and sorted out by the maid and the subordinates on weekdays. ”

Chen Xiao can't tell whether Jin Jie's words are true or false, and for the sake of safety, it is not appropriate to investigate in person.

"Give me an answer before noon the day after tomorrow, if you can't find it, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Chen Xiao told Jin Jie the code words of the contact and the way of the meeting. He can only see himself if he is sure he is safe.

The two nodded hurriedly.

The day after tomorrow, the ninth day, can be said to be the last chance, and the same is true for everyone else, when there will be great chaos in the city.

Afterwards, Chen Xiao investigated and found that the study, backyard, and ancestral hall were heavily guarded, and there was no chance to get close at all.

"It's so strict, I'm afraid it's not realistic for Jin Jie and Yang Qing to find the secret passage, it seems that it's hard to count on them!"

Chen Xiao felt that he had to leave a way back for himself to use as a backup.

At present, there are two plans, one of which is to do the opposite, let people spread the news that they have gone out of the city through the Li family's secret road, and then let people confirm this. Once the existence of the secret passage is confirmed, Mu Qingqing will be in a dilemma, who dares to guarantee that Chen Xiao did not leave the city? After the slaughter of the city, if Chen Xiao is still alive, wouldn't it be a big joke?

Second, use Ren Xue to lure Li Changfeng out, and then force him to tell the location of the secret passage, disguise himself as Li Changfeng and enter the secret passage to escape, according to the original plan, let people expose the Li family's secret passage and avoid slaughtering the city.

In comparison, the first method is easier to implement and requires less risk. The only uncertain factor is Mu Qingqing's attitude, if she insists on slaughtering the city, it is tantamount to cocooning herself.

Therefore, Chen Xiao would rather take a risk, only when he goes out of the city, will his heart be steady. Your own destiny must be in your own hands.

Leaving the Li Mansion, Chen Xiao's figure disappeared into the night.

In the mansion, Jin Jie and Yang Qing were uncertain, and Chen Xiao's existence was like a sharp knife, stabbing them deeply in the chest.

"Applejack, what are we going to do? Those three locations are not close to us, can we really find out the whereabouts of the secret passage?"

Jin Jie's face was gloomy: "This kid has a background, it's not easy to do! No matter what, he must die, otherwise I will be uneasy, if I can't come openly, then come in secret!"

"Do you have a plan?"

"Where the secret passage is, it's not up to us to decide, he wants to verify it, it's as difficult as the sky. I said, in the study, what can he do with me? When the time comes, I will give him a letter with poison, and once it is opened, he will surely die!"

Yang Qing was shocked: "What if the forces behind him retaliate?"

"I will dispose of the corpse, they want to find it, they are also looking for Li Changyang, looking for the Li family, how can they look for us? Even if we shake out that matter, as long as we resist and deny it, who has evidence? Besides, they are here to find fault, Li Changyang will not give them a good look!"

"Be careful, don't let the news slip through. ”

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the ninth day.

Yesterday, Chen Xiao spent the whole day inquiring about the Ren family's information.

After learning about the deployment of the Ren family and Ren Xue's travel habits, it can be said that it is very easy to kidnap Ren Xue.

It's just a concubine, and the Ren family doesn't value it much.

"Jin Jie, I hope you don't make a fool, change it to me, definitely try to kill the other party, and then cover up the matter completely. ”

Chen Xiao didn't trust Jin Jie, if he casually reported a location, would he still have to throw himself into the net?

Therefore, Ren Xue's ring is very crucial, if she is arrested, she can force Li Changfeng to tell the whereabouts of the secret passage, and if you compare it with what Jin Jie said, you will be able to roughly know the answer.
