Chapter 329: Desperate Survival
"Search! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must get people back to the mourning family! In the Cixiao Temple, Liu E ordered loudly with angry eyes, and the generals of the forbidden army who came to report the news were also frightened, and immediately ordered his subordinates to go into the ground again to find the whereabouts of Li Zhang and the princess.
In fact, the forbidden army has searched all the miles within a radius of Cixiao Temple, and the tunnel where Li Zhang and Miaoyuan were abducted by the thirteen was sent by them to search countless people, but it was connected to the surrounding sewers, and these sewers were forked one after another, and some of them still had a lot of sewage, and they couldn't even find footprints, so they didn't know where the other party had fled to.
"Eldest lady, cousin and little sister ......" At this time, Zhao Zhen, who was standing beside Liu E, also suddenly spoke, but he couldn't go on halfway through the words, but tears poured out again, since Li Zhang and Miaoyuan were taken away, Zhao Zhen has lost his square inch, and he doesn't know how many tears have flowed?
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the forbidden army has blocked a radius of ten miles, and they will definitely be able to find Zhang'er!" Liu E comforted Zhao Zhen at this time, but when she spoke, her lips were pale without any blood, after all, Li Zhang and Miaoyuan had been taken away for most of the day, but they still didn't see anyone alive or dead, I'm afraid ......
In fact, Zhao Zhen also knew that the thief had taken Li Zhang and Miao Yuan away from the underground, and I am afraid that he would not know where to go for such a long time, even if he really turned the entire capital upside down, I am afraid it would be difficult to find the traces of the two, and whether it was Li Zhang or Miao Yuan, they were his closest people, if he lost two relatives at once, he didn't know if he could withstand this blow?
At the same time, Li Zhang was still groping his way forward like a blind man underground, because his eyes were not used, and he had a foot of water and mud, and sometimes he would kick stones, branches and other things, so that he could not walk fast at all, but after every section of the road, he would take out the fire sickle and shoot out sparks, and look at the road with this fleeting spark, originally he wanted to return the original way along the footprints of Thirteen, but then because he couldn't see, the Fire Sickle couldn't keep fighting, so in the end he couldn't find Thirteen's footprints, I don't know if I've come to a fork in the road?
"Cousin, can we go back?" Miao Yuan pulled the corner of Li Zhang's clothes and walked behind him and asked softly, Li Zhang was carrying her just now, but she heard Li Zhang's breathing getting heavier and heavier, and her steps were a little staggering, so she also took the initiative to ask to come down and walk slowly, anyway, it is not fast now, and the two of them can rest while walking.
"Sure, the two of us were taken captive, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty will definitely send a large army to chase along the tunnel, and there must be forbidden troops everywhere on the ground, as long as we find an exit, we will definitely meet people looking for us, and maybe even if we go further, we may encounter the forbidden army chasing us!" Li Zhang cheered Miao Yuan up again at this time.
But having said that, but after walking for so long, he still didn't meet the forbidden army who came to look for him, which made Li Zhang's heart sink slowly, because he was worried that he might have walked into a fork in the road, and the underground sewers were intricate, one by one, intertwined, like a maze, plus the eyes couldn't see at all, it can be said that they were like two mice that were blindfolded and thrown into the maze, and they probably couldn't find an exit for the rest of their lives.
"Cousin, you don't have to comfort me, I ...... I know. Miao Yuan said softly again at this time, she was a smart woman, and she also knew that in this situation, the chances of them finding an exit were too small.
Hearing Miao Yuan's voice trembling, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel pity, in fact, in this dark and oppressive environment, thanks to Miao Yuan being able to talk to him, otherwise if he was the only one, I am afraid he would have gone crazy a long time ago.
At that moment, Li Zhang stretched out his hand and touched Miaoyuan's arm, and then gently pulled her in his arms, and Miaoyuan's body was trembling slightly at this time, after all, in the face of life and death, few people can handle it calmly, Miaoyuan is afraid, Li Zhang is also afraid, plus the two are tired and hungry, Li Zhang is even worried that Miaoyuan will not be able to hold on.
Miao Yuan didn't expect Li Zhang to suddenly hug herself, but instead of struggling, she still lay quietly on Li Zhang's chest, because she could only feel warm and safe in Li Zhang's arms, which was also a feeling she had never experienced before, in fact, Li Zhang didn't have any distractions in her heart at this time, just thinking that the two could get closer, so that they could rely on each other.
What should have been said had already been said, and at this time, the two of them were thirsty and hungry, their mouths were about to smoke, and the sewage under their feet could not be drunk at all, so they could only endure it, and naturally they had no strength to speak again.
Li Zhang and Miao Yuan didn't know how long they had been groping in the dark, let alone where they were, and what made the two desperate was that after walking for so long, they didn't see any light at all, let alone hear any movement, and at this time Li Zhang and Miao Yuan had also reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and the first one who couldn't hold on was Miao Yuan, Li Zhang picked her up and walked for a while, and finally had no strength, so he could only gently put her down.
"Click~" Li Zhang used his last bit of strength to start the fire sickle, and found that this was another fork in the road, and Miaoyuan beside him turned pale at this time, and the whole person was almost out of weakness, Li Zhang himself was desperate at this time, after all, he had walked for so long, but he didn't even see a little light, not to mention that he has no strength now, even if he has strength, I'm afraid he will be driven crazy sooner or later.
Table ...... Cousin, don't go any further! Miao Yuan said weakly at this time, because she was too thirsty, her voice became very hoarse, and even before she finished speaking, her lips were already bleeding from ten fissures.
Li Zhang was also completely deflated at this time, at the moment he played the fire sickle, and with this spark that was extinguished, he found a relatively dry place, and then helped Miao Yuan to sit down against the wall, and Miao Yuan naturally shrank his body in Li Zhang's arms, and the two of them just lay there motionless, not even having the strength to speak, and of course having no other thoughts.
I don't know how long I've been sitting like this, Miao Yuan doesn't know if he's asleep or fainted, Li Zhang himself is about the same, in fact, he is in a daze now, he still feels his throat is so dry just now, and his whole body wants to drink water, but now he has become lazy, and it doesn't seem to be so painful, just sitting there and not even a little finger is willing to move.
"I didn't expect that I, Li Zhang, would die here!" Although his body couldn't move, Li Zhang's brain could still move, but he didn't expect that he would finally cross over, although he did a lot of things, but he didn't even marry his wife, and he didn't see the raccoon dog and them marry, Huozi and Douzi married their wives, and they had to leave like this, which made Li Zhang secretly smile bitterly in his heart.
"I don't know if I died this time, will I cross again?" A strange thought suddenly flashed in Li Zhang's heart, but then he smiled bitterly, crossing this kind of thing and encountering it once is already a big luck, how can there be two big lucks to let himself bump into it?
The operation of the brain also consumes energy, and as time goes by, Li Zhang, who is full of cranky thoughts, also feels that his brain is turning slower and slower, and his spirit is becoming more and more sluggish, and it seems that he may pass out at any time.
However, at this moment, when Li Zhang suddenly heard a faint speech, at first he thought he was hallucinating, but at this moment, he found that there was a faint light on his right side, and thanks to the fact that he had been in the dark for too long, he was very sensitive to light, which made him feel refreshed, and the feeling of drowsiness just now was also swept away.
However, Li Zhang still did not relax his vigilance at this time, because there were only two kinds of people who appeared in the sewers at this time, the first was the forbidden army who came to look for them, and the second was the accomplice of the thirteenth, of course, the former was more likely, but the second one may not be completely absent, so before confirming the identity of the other party, Li Zhang did not plan to ask for help.
As the light on the right side became brighter and brighter, it was obvious that the other party was getting closer and closer to Li Zhang's position, and at the same time, the voice of the voice was also clearly transmitted, after all, the pit had the effect of concentrating sounds, and when Li Zhang heard the other party's conversation, he finally determined that these were the forbidden troops who came to look for him, which made him finally shout: "Come on, the princess is here!" The princess is here! ”
Every time Li Zhang shouted, he felt that his throat was about to bleed, but he still made a sound regardless of it, and at the same time picked up a stone and smashed the wall next to him with the last bit of strength, making a "dong dong~" sound.
Li Zhang's shouts and distress signals finally attracted the attention of those people, and immediately heard a rush of running sound over there, and then several torches first appeared in Li Zhang's sight, and it was the guards in the palace who held the torches, which made Li Zhang finally breathe a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the lack of strength, he even wanted to stand up and look up to the sky and laugh, who would have thought that he would be in a desperate situation, it seems that God doesn't want to let himself, the person who has finally crossed over, die here.
"Found the princess! Captain Lee is here! When these guards found Li Zhang and Miao Yuan, they immediately shouted with joy, and their voices attracted more footsteps to run towards them.
"Save the princess first! Water! Seeing the dozen or so guards who ran to the front, Li Zhang first pointed to Miao Yuan, who was unconscious in his arms, and then asked them for water, after all, people don't know that they can last for a week, but if they don't drink water, they can't last for three days.
With Li Zhang's orders, these guards also immediately helped Miao Yuan up, and then Li Zhang's mouth also handed over a water bag, Li Zhang didn't care about anything else at this time, and drank it in a big gulp, and Miao Yuan also had guards on her side to feed her water, but although Miao Yuan was unconscious, he still instinctively drank a lot of water.
"Quick! Hurry up and inform the Queen Mother and Your Majesty that the princess and Li Duwei have found it! At this time, a Praetorian Guard general finally arrived, and immediately ordered with a happy face, they were about to be tossed and broken in the past two days, if they couldn't find Li Zhang and the others, I am afraid they would have to fall to the ground.
