Chapter 397: Into the Underground River

Zhao Yan suddenly found that the light around him was abnormal, Yan Yuru also rowed a boat to find the small lake at this time, but did not find any trace of Yin Niang, at this time he was in a sad mood, and he did not react when he heard Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Yan had to sigh, stretched out his hand and shook the boat pulp to row out of the small lake, but when he entered the underground river, he soon found that there was a fire about a mile downstream, and the light came from there.

"Earth...... The dungeon is on fire! Zhao Yan looked at the place where the fire was soaring and couldn't help muttering in shock, and then he reacted, it seems that Nei Ying under his empty hands has also made a move, taking advantage of the chaos when Zhao Yan escaped, adding another fire, and adding chaos to the chaos, this is a good opportunity to escape, no wonder no one intercepted those entrances in the dark river before, it is estimated that they were dragged by this fire.

Yan Yuru also saw the generosity in the downstream underground palace at this time, which made her also wake up from her grief, and asked very worriedly: "King Jun, do you say that eldest brother can escape with this fire?" ”

"There shouldn't be any problem, the empty mind is careful and decisive, and there is internal help, plus our previous escape has caused chaos in the dungeon, and now with this fire, it will only minimize the strength of the guards in the dungeon, with the ability of people, it is not difficult to escape." Zhao Yan said solemnly.

"I hope so, Yinniang is no longer here, big brother must not have any more accidents!" Yan Yuru muttered to herself when she heard this, and at the same time, big tears welled up again in her wonderful eyes.

Zhao Yan stood on the boat and looked at the burning dungeon in the distance, and soon found that the fire in the dungeon was actually not very big, but it looked like it was burning in the dark, but it seemed that there were not many places on fire, and the call for fire fighting in the dungeon was getting smaller and smaller, and the fire did not disperse. This shows that the people inside have begun to control the fire, which also makes Zhao Yan secretly scream that it is not good.

"Yuru, let's get out of here quickly, I'm worried that after the people in the underground palace control the fire, they will send people to chase us!" Zhao Yan said anxiously, but as soon as his words fell. I saw that on the underground river near the dungeon in the distance, there were a little fires, and it was clearly a small boat with lights, and it was heading straight for them.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru were also shocked, and hurriedly picked up the boat pulp, and then Zhao Yan pointed to the darker place on the other side of the river, Yan Yuru also immediately understood, and the two immediately began to row the boat to the other side of the river. This is an underground river, and the river is very wide, as long as they can hide in the darkness and keep quiet, and the other party cannot send enough people to search, then they can escape under the cover of darkness.

In fact, Zhao Yan's guess was right, there were not many ships in the dungeon, and with the fire burning in the air, a large number of people were restrained. So there were only five small boats sent to hunt them down this time, and their goals were clear. Rushed straight towards the small lake where Zhao Yan and the others fell, it seemed that they should know that the outlet of the dark river was here, and it was only because of the fire that the interception time was delayed.

Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru quickly rowed the boat to the dark place on the other side of the river, although it was illuminated by the light of the fire, it was very dark, and they couldn't see each other a few meters apart. However, Zhao Yan was still worried that those boats would come forward to check, so he didn't stay there all the time, but quietly sailed downstream along the dark riverbank.

Zhao Yan's decision was very correct, just as their boat was hiding in the darkness and quietly heading downstream, the five small boats that intercepted them found nothing after reaching the small lake. Only one small boat was left to guard, and the remaining four small boats began to scatter and search, two of them went straight to the other side of the river, if Zhao Yan and the others did not leave, they were likely to be discovered.

However, as the ship got closer and closer to the burning dungeon, Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru suddenly found a big problem, that is, the closer they got to the dungeon, the more light scattered by the fire was, which made their ships no longer able to hide with the help of darkness.

"Yuru, now we can only take a risk, wait for us to work together and use the fastest speed to get through the area in front of Guò!" Zhao Yan said in a deep voice at this time, if they were lucky, the ships behind might not find them, even if they were unlucky enough to be discovered, as long as they could get into the darkness in front before being caught up, those who were chasing could only stare dryly.

Yan Yuru also nodded when she heard this, although she didn't know how to control the boat, but it was still okay to row hard with Zhao Yan, after all, it was much faster for two people to row together than for Zhao Yan to row alone.

Seeing that Yan Yuru was ready, Zhao Yan let out a low roar, and the two of them immediately rowed the boat at the fastest speed, they were originally going down the river, which also made the boat seem to be flying on the level, and the distance of half a mile was not very far, plus the light was not particularly sufficient, so the few boats searched behind did not find Zhao Yan's boat in front.

However, just as Zhao Yan was about to rush through this area with more light, he suddenly saw a few lights suddenly appear on the river surface below the underground palace on the other side of the river, and quickly rushed towards them, which made Zhao Yan roar angrily: "Hell, they are still ambushing a few boats here!" ”

"It's okay, the river is so wide, they can't stop us!" Yan Yuru was full of confidence, their ship would immediately rush into the darkness, and those who were chasing after it would not even want to find them.

Zhao Yan actually discovered this, but he always felt that with Xu Dezu's shrewdness, he should not arrange a few ships in a position that was destined to catch up with them for no reason, but now was not the time to think too much, so he had to wave the boat pulp in his hand and strive to increase the speed of the ship a little more.

Almost in just a few minutes, Zhao Yan's boat passed through the bright area next to the underground palace like a flying arrow, and plunged headlong into the darkness of the lower reaches of the river, and the four boats chasing behind and the few that had just chased from the other side of the river could not be intercepted at all, but they did not give up, and also plunged into the darkness and chased hard.

Zhao Yan and they didn't have torches on the boat, so they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, but it didn't matter, because Zhao Yan had learned from the air that this wide underground river was very clean, there were no dangerous reefs at all, and the river water was relatively gentle, so as long as you moved in the direction of the river's flow, you didn't have to worry about anything else.

Although the darkness brought inconvenience to Zhao Yan and them, it was also their best protection, although the ships behind were not far from them, but because Zhao Yan did not have any lights on the boat, they quickly lost the target of pursuit, and could only spread out on the river one by one, like a blind cat touching a dead mouse on the river to try their luck, but their boats were too few, and Zhao Yan could even drive the boat through the cracks in their ships without being discovered.

"Your Royal Highness, you only care about running away, don't you care about Yinniang's life?" Just when Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru thought that they had finally escaped, suddenly Xu Dezu shouted loudly from one of the boats behind them.

Hearing Yinniang's name, Yan Yuru immediately trembled, and the boat pulp in his hand also stopped, Zhao Yan also reacted in the same way, but he stood up and looked back, and soon found that there was a boat about 100 meters away behind him, and there was a person standing faintly under the light on the bow of the boat.

"What's the matter, how did Yinniang fall into their hands?" Yan Yuru said with a panicked face at this time, Yin Niang betrayed Xu Dezu in order to save her, if she was caught by Xu Dezu again this time, Yan Yuru didn't dare to imagine what kind of punishment she would receive?

"Oops, the outlet of the dark river is located in the upper reaches of the underground palace, and after Yin Niang was washed out of the dark river, it is likely to enter the underground river, and then be discovered by Xu Dezu's people along the current." Zhao Yan was also very annoyed at this time, in fact, his guess was completely correct, Xu Dezu was only after discovering Yinniang, so he would have the courage to wait for their arrival in the underground palace.

"Then what can I do, Yin Niang must not fall into their hands!" Yan Yuru said with a firm face at this time, even if she sacrificed herself, she definitely didn't want Yinniang to suffer any more harm.

"Wait a minute, Xu Dezu just wants to use Yinniang to lure us out, so we must calm down!" Zhao Yan said very calmly, but unlike the calm on the surface, he was actually helpless now, after all, there were only two of them, and there were nearly ten boats chasing behind them, and there were at least five or six people on each boat, in this case, it was impossible for them to save Yinniang, so the last way was to slip away quietly, but with Yan Yuru's temper, he would definitely not do this.

However, just as Zhao Yan and the others were talking, the boat of Xu Dezu and others behind them was getting closer and closer, and at this time, Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru finally saw the situation on Xu Dezu's boat, only to see that under the light on the bow of the boat, it was indeed Xu Dezu and Yin Niang, and there were two other maids who were guarding Yin Niang, and even the sharp-eyed Zhao Yan also found that although Yin Niang was wet and in high spirits, she did not suffer any injuries on her body, which also made Yan Yuru breathe a sigh of relief.

"King Jun, I already know that Yinniang let you go, if you don't say anything again, then don't blame me for being rude!" Xu Dezu spoke loudly again at this time, and after finishing speaking, he did something that surprised Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru. (To be continued......)
