The second time Tang Xu saw Bai Lun was in the evening five days later, ten days before Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info On this day, Tang Xu pondered the medicinal powder that Liu Shenxian put in a small jar at home, and Xiaocui went to the street to buy something an hour ago. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and when Tang Xu opened the door, Bai Lun looked anxious.

"What are you going to do?" Tang Xu still didn't have a good impression of him.

"Where is the little brother who was with you last time?" Bai Lun asked, ignoring Tang Xu's unfriendly attitude.

"What are you looking for him?" Tang Xu became vigilant, Bai Lun held the secret recipe for poisonous tea, and now asked about Xiao Cui, which made Tang Xu have to think of the previous incident when Lan Jun was taken away.

"Isn't he with you?" Bai Lun seemed to be frightened.

"What do you ask her to do? Where she is, and what does it have to do with you? Bai Lun's nervous appearance made Tang Xu mind very much, and he couldn't help but worry about Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui had been out for more than an hour, and it stands to reason that she should come back. But he couldn't show his worries, for fear that there would be deception.

"I know you don't believe me, but I'm going to tell you anyway. In fact, there is another person who came to Kaifeng with me, who is Li Yu's subordinate. I don't want to be your enemy, and I don't want to do this murderous thing again, but he's different. Bai Lun continued.

"Go on." Bai Lun's words had already made Tang Xu feel extremely uneasy.

"He knows that Wang Dali and Lan Jun have left, and we no longer have a handle to blackmail you, and he has also realized that I have no intention of serving Li Yu, so he has not discussed anything with me recently." Bai Lun continued.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Tang Xu couldn't bear it, grabbed Bai Lun's collar all of a sudden, and his heart was still babbling in his throat.

"Tang Gongzi is very important, that little brother?" Bai Lun suddenly changed his attitude and actually laughed.

"You..." Tang Xu was shocked, could it be that he really fell into a trap.

"I know that Lan Jun is not a woman, when Lan Jun was taken away, Tang Gongzi was very anxious, and even agreed not to save the people of Lanzhou City in order to save him, I was thinking if Tang Gongzi liked a man?" Bai Lun seemed to be deliberately provoking Tang Xu.

"Nonsense." Tang Xu is really anxious, whether it is a trap or something else, Xiao Cui may really be in danger if he doesn't return for a long time. But Bai Lun and Youzai, who had just judged the two of them, made him very angry, and couldn't help but say to him, I feel sorry for Lan Jun, what does it have to do with you? Are you jealous? Ben was just angry, but Bai Lun actually changed his face, Tang Xu was so frightened that he let go of his hand, thinking that it wasn't it.

"Phew, who do you think you are?" Bai Lun scolded. This scolding made Tang Xu laugh, and he was a little embarrassed to misunderstand others.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm not done yet." Bai Lun was stunned and became serious, he came to Tang Xu because it was very late yesterday and the companion had not returned, and later Bai Lun found several flying pigeon biography with Li Yu in the man's house, one of which mentioned that he thought of a way to make Tang Xu obedient.

"I woke up this morning to find that he hadn't come back, so I wondered if what he said would mean that little brother, so I came to find Tang Gongzi." Bai Lun said.

"Small. My cousin has indeed been out for some time and has not returned. Tang Xu heard what he said, and his concern was not like pretending, and he believed it a little more in his heart.

"Oops, maybe something will happen to the little brother, let's go find out." Bai Lun said and turned around to go out again.

"Why should I trust you?" Tang Xu subconsciously followed him, but he was still very conflicted in his heart.

"Believe it or not, I just want to be worthy of my conscience." Bai Lun smiled faintly. Tang Xu didn't know what to do for a while, but seeing Bai Lun's hurried steps, he seemed to know where to find Xiao Cui, so he followed closely with questions.

"Where are you going? Do you know where my cousin was taken captive? Tang Xu followed Bai Lun through the streets and alleys for more than half an hour and didn't stop, Tang Xu became suspicious again, but Bai Lun looked anxious and didn't reply to his words.

"Wait, you're not lying to me, are you?" Tang Xu caught up with Bai Lun and grabbed him and questioned him, and at this time, the two had gradually walked to a remote place where the houses were scarce.

"Let's be honest, when we first arrived in Kaifeng, we discussed a hidden hideout, which is near here. I suspect that if your little brother is really missing, and this matter has something to do with my companion, maybe he was brought here. Bai Lun explained, Tang Xu looked at his eyes seriously, but did not see dodge and hesitation. Could it be that this Bai Lun really intends to help himself? Tang Xu's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't make up his mind.

"Tang Gongzi don't worry, since you're here, let's go and see it first, if the little brother is not there, maybe you can feel at ease." Bai Lun patiently explained to him.

“。。。” Tang Xu hesitated, but he would leave without hesitation if he was sure that Xiao Cui was not here, but now he couldn't be sure where Xiao Cui went, and Bai Lun said it as if it was true, which really made him very rare, after some struggle, Tang Xu still obeyed his inner thoughts and agreed to continue to walk with Bai Lun.

"How far is it?" After walking forward for about a stick of incense, Tang Xu only saw a dilapidated house and a broken roof and did not even see half a figure.

"Right there." Bai Lun pointed to a small dilapidated house about ten paces away and did not stop. Tang Xu didn't notice any difference between it and the surroundings, but he had walked so far, and he was very unwilling not to take a look.

"What's so strange here?" When he got closer, Tang Xu still felt that it was just an ordinary hut, where was this secret?

"Let me come in." Bai Lun walked around the hut, and after confirming that it was safe, he pushed open the moss-mottled wooden door.

There were lots of firewood and hay piled up in the room, and a few tables and chairs were in a dilapidated state, and even the floor was covered with dust, as if no one had been in it for a long time. Sunlight pours in through the worn window frames, and you can faintly see the dust floating in the air.

"Not here." Tang Xu said to himself, just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief but saw some strange sights under the broken table, he walked over in three or two steps, pushed away the table and removed the wooden chairs, sure enough, the room was covered with dust everywhere, but the ground on the left and right sides of the table was unusually clean, revealing a shiny stone surface. If you look closely, there are obvious gaps around the stone face three feet square, which looks like a lid.

"Tang Gongzi has good eyesight." Bai Lun praised, Tang Xu thought that no one in the house was very relieved, but when he found such a thing, he couldn't help but get nervous again, it was indeed a secret place.

"How do I open it?" Tang Xu half-knelt on the ground and groped carefully, but there seemed to be no place to start, he took half a step back to move a larger space to check, and his left foot accidentally kicked something and made a clicking sound. Tang Xu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly looked back, it turned out that he had kicked a wooden chair.

“。。。” Tang Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and before he could relax his nerves, the ground under his feet began to vibrate slightly. In a few moments, one side of the polished stone slab lifted up, revealing a gap two fingers wide. Tang Xu had only seen ancient institutions on TV before, and thought that they were all written by screenwriters, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he has to sigh at how clever the wisdom of the ancients is.

"Looks like you don't need me to tell you how to open it." Bai Lun walked over and bent down to hold on to the upturned stone slab and lifted it up vigorously, and the stone slab stood straight on one side, and below it was a stone staircase that led somewhere.

Bai Lun took a dusty oil lamp, and there was still a little lamp oil in it, although it had dried up over the years and turned into a thin layer of residual oil, fortunately it could still be lit.

With the faint light of the fire, Tang Xu found that this stone step was not long, and about ten steps were in the end. It's just that there seems to be a larger dark basement at the bottom, but I can't see it clearly from the top of it.

"You go first, let's go down and have a look." Tang Xu said to Bai Lun with an oil lamp. He originally wanted to stay on it, but he was worried that Bai Lun would not tell him honestly about the situation in the secret room. Bai Lun seemed to have expected him to say this, nodded and walked down, Tang Xu followed behind him with a lamp, and the two of them walked down the stairs for a while to the bottom, and the basement was also lit up with the lights, and a person who was tied up with five flowers and covered his head appeared in front of them.

"Xiao Cui!" Although the man's head and face were covered, the clothes on his body were still recognized by Tang Xu at a glance. Tang Xu was in a complicated mood at the moment, although finding Xiaocui put her in a more dangerous situation.

"Sure enough, I was taken captive here." Bai Lun said hatefully, and at this time, there was a laugh from the top of the three of them.

"Bai Lun, it was in vain that the general left you with his life, but I didn't expect you to be ungrateful, let down the general's heart, and didn't care about your brother's life. But it's also because of your willfulness and stupidity that you took Tang Xu to throw yourself into the net. I don't have to blackmail anyone now, you all stay here honestly. With that, the man closed the slate, and the light that shone into the passage was instantly drained, leaving only endless darkness.

"I'm really stupid." Bai Lun single-mindedly wanted to make up for his past mistakes, but he didn't want to be plotted against him, and he also involved Tang Xu and the others, and he did not form the driving force behind this disaster.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I'm ashamed that I haven't been able to really believe you." Tang Xu smiled bitterly at Xiao Cui who had not yet woken up in his arms, but fortunately, there were no scars on her body, probably she was unconscious. Thinking of this, a bad thought suddenly flashed to him, and he hurriedly lowered his head to Xiaocui's mouth to smell it carefully.

"Tang Gongzi. You.. Bai Lun's face turned red, and he thought to himself that he was really interested, is it really a reunion after a long absence? Although the stone slab above his head had long been closed, the oil lamp he had brought with him when he came down here was still barely burning, although the light of the bean-sized fire could not illuminate the inner room, it was enough for Bai Lun to see Tang Xu's actions clearly.

"What did you say?" Although Tang Xu was answering Bai Lun, he was still distracted by Xiao Cui's side, and after confirming that there was no smell of poisonous tea in her mouth, he couldn't help but kiss her.
