Chapter Eighty-Six: Sacrificing His Life to Save Yiying
Although he didn't guess the other party's purpose, the matter quickly progressed, thanks to Yu, a beggar said that he had seen people fighting outside the city, but at that time he was far away and did not see what the group looked like.
Luo Ci is not an ambitious person, he is just doing some business in Nanwu, and his influence is not extensive, so this matter is directly entrusted to Ji Tang to investigate, and she went to the scene to see it in person, if it is really Yiying, then it will definitely leave traces.
When Luo Ci arrived at the scene, he found that the place seemed to have been cleaned up, and there was no trace of a fight at all. She couldn't help frowning, even if it was cleaned up, it wouldn't be so clean, unless......
That man is lying!
At this moment, I don't know where an arrow flew out, and it narrowly brushed in front of Luo Ci's face, if she hadn't turned her head in time, she would have broken her face.
Look at the arrow again, the arrow glows with a faint blue light, which is obviously poisonous!
Luo Ci didn't look at the arrow immediately, just looked around, there was nothing, it seemed that the man had gone.
Luo Ci had to admit that that person was much smarter than himself, if two people fought each other, although he didn't know how many moves he could pass, he would definitely be the one who failed!
Luo Ci took out a handkerchief and picked up the arrow, bare, without any special markings, she was a little surprised, at this time she seemed to suddenly think of something, and went directly in the direction of her secret guard.
A corpse lay silently on the ground!
No wonder, the dark guard didn't find anyone nearby, but he still didn't show up after he was attacked, which is obviously abnormal, it turned out to be dead!
But how many people came? Are two people acting separately? Or did that person quietly kill the secret guard first, and then attack himself?
Looking at the corpse, Luo Ci couldn't say anything in his heart. She did a cursory check, and killed with a single sword! Luo Ci helped the dark guard up, intending to take it back, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with her subordinates, and it was obvious that there was something in the dark guard's clothes.
In terms of shape, it should be a box!
She quietly took the box out and tied the arrow to the guard's back. She originally planned to carry the body back by herself, but at this time, Ji Tang suddenly brought someone over. Ji Tang didn't seem to expect her to be there, and he was very surprised, especially when he saw the corpse that Luo Ci was supporting, he was even more calm.
"Kill with a sword!" Without waiting for Ji Tang to ask anything, Luo Ci's confidant spoke: "I didn't even find out!" And also...... This arrow is coming at me. ”
Now it's a big deal!
"Hunchun did come to Nanwu, but his whereabouts have not been found yet." Ji Tang took the corpse as he spoke, but Luo Ci avoided it slightly, and he gave up: "Black impermanence has been found, under the centrifugal lake!" ”
There should be no one in Nanwu who doesn't know about the centrifugal lake, this is the largest lake in the capital, and the most important thing is that this doesn't know which emperor built it in order to please the concubine, although it is very large, but it is an artificial lake! To this day, the centrifugal lake is a symbol of royalty, although the people can play, but there are strict requirements, ordinary people are not qualified at all!
The most important thing is that the living water introduced by the centrifugal lake is controlled by people both upstream and downstream!
How did Yiying appear in the centrifugal lake?
"There is a secret room under the centrifugal lake, which is a royal water dungeon!" Ji Tang's voice was a little low: "It's very difficult!" ”
"How did you find it?" The more this happened, the more strange Luo Ci felt. They just suspected that they had something to do with the royal family, is that true? Is this the truth, or is it being guided?
"A spy was caught in the palace, and he couldn't be interrogated, so his father sent him to the water prison!" Ji Tang also felt strange, all this seemed too coincidental!
"I don't know who caught it, and I don't know what the reason was, but the water prison has always been directly managed by the emperor, and I am not qualified to release people."
That is to say, if you want to save people, you can only break through!
Luo Ci put the corpse in his hand on the horse of Ji Tang's entourage: "You take him back and check the arrow." ”
"What about you?" Ji Tang saw that Luo Ci was leaving, and hurriedly asked: "......Are you alone?"
Luo Ci turned back!
Ji Tang was silent in an instant, he was Ah Wei! When is it not a person?
Luo Ci didn't go directly to the water prison, she was waiting, waiting for the most. The royal family of Nanwu wants to build a water prison, but they put on a cloak of affection, and they are desperately trying to hide it to this day, which proves that they don't want people to know!
It was already close to evening, and in half an hour, the shops would begin to close, and many of the ministers and guards on duty would also be on duty, and the centrifugal lake was very large, and there were many people coming and going, so it was not easy to attract attention at that time, and even if she sneaked in, those people did not dare to make too much noise.
Luo Ci found a place and slept well, and when she woke up, she felt a little hungry, she hadn't eaten well in the past few days, and she only ate a little bit today, which was strange at this time. She simply hit a hare and roasted it to eat.
The timing was just right!
Luo Ci tore a piece of cloth and covered his face!
The water of the centrifugal lake comes from a river outside the city, and in order not to disturb the people, the place where it is stationed is also outside the city, and there are many underwater mechanisms, so ordinary people will not think of diving into it from outside the city.
And few people know that it is this kind of road that is the closest to the water prison! And the least noticeable!
When she came to the river, Luo Ci did not hesitate at all, and went directly into the water, the water was very cold this season, but she didn't seem to feel anything, and went directly in the direction that had been determined.
After swimming for a short time, Luo Ci saw the obstacles in front of him, and the water was slowly turning a sharp knife, which were made of fine iron, and I don't know how long it had been here, although the light was very dim, Luo Ci could still see the faint luster.
Just when Luo Ci's attention was on the knife, she suddenly felt a surge of water on the left side, and she slammed forward, and a big fish behind her bit into the air.
Piranhas?
Luo Ci was taken aback, and he didn't care about anything else, and swam straight forward. Hell knows how long this thing has been hungry!
The piranha behind him chased urgently, and the blade in front of him kept turning, fortunately, the speed was not very fast, Luo Ci rushed over without hesitation, the fish seemed to know the power of these knives, kept wandering, and finally left unwillingly.
But that gaze ...... Seems a little pitiful?
Luo Ci wondered if she was mistaken, but she didn't have time to hesitate and continued to walk forward. Strangely, there is a long distance, and there are no hidden weapons here. Luo Ci thought about it and looked up directly, there were some sparkling waves on the water, but it was not an ordinary water wave, the color was a little weird, but if you didn't look carefully, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to see it.
Luo Ci thought about it for a while and understood, it is not easy for ordinary people to swim so far, and if there is no hidden weapon for so long, they will want to surface to breathe, although they don't know what those things are, but they definitely kill people!
Fortunately, Luo Ci has good water performance and can last for a while.
Walking further, it was still a dark arrow or something, Luo Ci didn't know where it had hit, a dark arrow suddenly shot out, for such a thing, Luo Ci didn't look at it, she found a remote corner, and quietly poked her head out to breathe.
Just as she was about to dive down, she suddenly heard someone talking.
"Eh, where are you going?"
"Be quiet, whatever."
"Oh, then you tell me where you're going, how do you pee, and everyone is gone?"
"Someone will come to rob the water prison today, and they are sending more people! This place is far away, it is enough to leave one, and the rest of the people have to go! ”
"What about me?"
"You're the one left!"
Luo Ci didn't know what this place was, but he had a bad premonition, only Ji Tang knew that he was going to rob the water prison, and his guards probably couldn't hear it, how did he leak the news?
Luo Ci subconsciously excluded Ji Tang, because the news that Yiying was in the water prison was told by Ji Tang, and Ji Tang had no motive to do so.
The footsteps above gradually dissipated, and Luo Ci resurfaced his head.
It was a simple and rudimentary room, presumably set up to guard the mechanism, and only one person would still be in place, with his back to her.
Luo Ci did not go ashore, but with a slight movement of his fingertips, the man had already fallen to the ground.
It was only at this time that Luo Ci re-ashore, and she planned to change her clothes to replace that person, but just as she was undressing, she suddenly felt the box in her arms, which was taken out of her secret guard.
Luo Ci hesitated, but still opened the box, but when he saw the contents of the box, he was stunned in place.
It was a human skin mask, extremely finely made!
Luo Ci looked at the person who fell to the ground, his eyebrows, eyes, and demeanor were exactly the same!
For the first time in his life, Luo Ci felt terrifying!
Bring? Or not?
Luo Ci decided to take it anyway, and she also looked around the room, and there was a bed made of wooden planks in the corner, and the bed was not tidy. She walked straight over, lifted the quilt, and there was nothing! Continuing to lift the mattress, there was a half-new set of clothes underneath, the same as the one worn by the man who had fallen to the ground.
Luo Ci continues to look for!
In the corner of the room, there was a jar with a smell of wine, but just behind the jar, there was a small bottle, Luo Ci directly poured the contents of the bottle on the person, Qin Kejian, and there was only a layer of ash left on the ground.
This is the unique bone water of the night building, and the level of secrecy is very high!
The most important thing is that the old gentleman who made the bone water in the night tower has already made the ancient, and no one in the entire night tower knows the formula!
"Eh, I said how big it is, you washed your hair?"
There was a sudden sound at the door, and Luo Ci had already heard the footsteps, and he had already ripped off the hairband and held the hair in his hand, but he couldn't see any clues.
Listen to the voice, it's the guy who just left!
"Why are you back again?"
Luo Ci opened his mouth, and his voice turned out to be exactly the same as the voice of the person who died just now.
