Chapter 395: Dark River

Seeing that Kong and Yan Yuru had made a decision, Zhao Yan did not hesitate any longer, and changed clothes with Yan Yuru at the moment, among which Yinniang also helped Zhao Yan break up her hair, comb it into a woman's style, and also smeared it with fat powder, speaking of which, Zhao Yan's appearance was originally good, and now she is dressed as a woman, and she is quite handsome for a while.

Yan Yuru and Kong, Yinniang and the three of them saw Zhao Yan's women's dress, and the three of them couldn't help but be a little funny, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, I'm afraid they would all laugh. Zhao Yan also noticed their strange gazes at this time, and spread his hands helplessly at the moment: "This time in order to escape for your life, it is really Sven sweeping the floor, you three must help me keep this secret." ”

"Don't worry, we won't sue others!" Yan Yuru forced a smile and said, although she was about to flee for her life now, seeing Zhao Yan suddenly become a handsome woman still made her a little unbearable.

But now is not the time to laugh, after Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru changed their clothes, Yin Niang also dragged the two maids to the room and locked them up, and then the three of them were about to leave with the food box, and then they nodded to them slightly, and then returned to their own room, so that there was no one in the entire side hall, and when the door was opened, even if the guards outside looked inside, they would only think that Zhao Yan and they had gone to rest after eating, and would not think of anything else.

Seeing the empty return to the room, Zhao Yan, Yan Yuru, and Yin Niang all glanced at each other, and then Yin Niang walked in front, Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru walked behind with their heads down with food boxes, although the inside and outside of the side hall were lit with lights, but after all, they were not as bright as daylight, so as long as they were careful, there was still a great chance of mixing out.

I saw Yin Niang walk to the door of the side hall, and then took a long breath and opened the door, although the two guards outside the door had just changed shifts. But they are usually very familiar with Yinniang, and when they saw Yinniang come out, they just smiled and said hello, and there was no obstruction, and they didn't even look at Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru.

After saying goodbye to the two guards with a smile, Yin Niang took Zhao Yan and the two slowly walked forward along the corridor, in order not to show any flaws. At first, they walked very slowly, but when they turned a corner, Zhao Yan immediately urged Yin Niang to speed up his pace and rush to the side of the main hall, because according to his previous plan with Kong, there was an entrance to the dark river behind the main hall, and a small boat had been prepared in the dark river, as long as they could enter the dark river, Zhao Yan's escape plan would be half successful.

Yin Niang didn't know about the empty escape plan before, she just impulsively didn't want Yan Yuru to fall into the abyss of pain. That's why she decided to take Yan Yuru away, her plan was also very rough, just simply take Yan Yuru away from the side hall where she was imprisoned, and then venture out of the underground palace, as long as she can steal a boat on the underground river not far from the underground palace, she can take Yan Yuru away, but now that they have prepared in advance, their escape this time is much more certain.

The side hall where Zhao Yan was imprisoned was not very far from the main hall. It is estimated to be only about two hundred meters, and there is a long corridor in the middle. Yin Niang is also very familiar with this place, so Zhao Yan and the others quickly rushed to the back of the main hall, and they didn't meet anyone along the way, at most there were only a few teams of guards on routine patrols, but they didn't come forward to interrogate when they saw Yin Niang.

In the main hall is the body of Xu Dezu's father, although it has already become a dry corpse. However, the entire underground palace is originally gloomy, so usually few people are willing to approach the main hall unless necessary, which also provides Zhao Yan with great convenience, and Zhao Yan has traveled all the way. I also saw a lot of festive red lanterns and red silk cloths, which seemed to be preparing for tomorrow's wedding.

But Zhao Yan is not in the mood to care about these now, after the three of them hurriedly came to the main hall, this is a place similar to a patio, surrounded by tall buildings, only a long corridor can come in, there are some flowers and plants planted in the patio, and there is a pavilion in the middle, but in this underground environment, most of the flowers and plants around the pavilion have died, and only some plants that do not require light are still alive strongly.

"That's right, this is it!" Seeing the pavilion in front of him, Zhao Yan also said with a look of surprise, according to what he said, below this pavilion is the entrance to the dark river.

Yan Yuru and Yinniang also hurriedly listened to Zhao Yan's plan to escape before they came, and they also knew the importance of this entrance, so now that they heard that the entrance was here, the two of them were also very happy, and immediately rushed to the patio where the pavilion was located with Zhao Yan.

However, Zhao Yan did not enter the pavilion, but came to the steps outside the pavilion, and reached out to lift the stones made into steps, but these long stones were very bulky, and there were slippery moss on them, which made Zhao Yan a little unable to lift them for a while.

When Yan Yuru and Yinniang saw this, they immediately stepped forward to help, but the three of them worked together, and finally lifted the top step up, revealing a black hole below, it turned out that this was one of the entrances to the dark river, as for why it was built under the steps, it is unknown.

Lifting a step only revealed a long hole, which was not enough for people to enter, so Zhao Yan and the others had to work hard to lift the remaining stone steps up, and finally revealed a hole that could be entered, but the inside of the hole was dark, and they couldn't see the situation inside at all, but if they listened carefully, they could hear the sound of water flowing inside.

Zhao Yan took the torch taken from the road and shone it into the cave, but found that he couldn't see anything, he could only see a slope under the cave entrance, and then Zhao Yan turned his head and said to Yan Yuru and the two behind him: "I'll go down first, you two follow me!" ”

Yan Yuru and Yinniang also nodded when they heard this, and then Zhao Yan slid into the cave with a torch, at the beginning the hole was very narrow, Zhao Yan could only lie flat and slide down, but soon the bottom became wider, and the slope became less steep, which also allowed Zhao Yan to finally stand up, and then bend down and walk down.

After walking a distance of about dozens of meters, the sound of the water below became clearer and clearer, and after turning a small corner, Zhao Yan immediately felt a stream of water vapor rushing to his face, by the light of the torch, Zhao Yan saw a dark river about a width of more than a foot appeared in front of him, although the river surface is not wide, but the river is very turbulent.

"Boat! There are boats! At this time, Yin Niang suddenly shouted in surprise, and at the same time pointed to the river on their right, Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw a small boat docked on the shore, and the long cable was fixed on the bank of the river, making the boat rise and fall with the river, which also made Zhao Yan and them all show ecstatic expressions.

But at this moment, Zhao Yan and the others suddenly heard a commotion from outside the entrance where they entered, and at the same time, there were many people running wildly, which made Zhao Yan's face change and said, "Was it discovered so soon?" ”

"It's not surprising, the underground palace is heavily guarded, and every time I deliver food, there is actually a time limit, if the used dishes and chopsticks are not sent back to the kitchen at the specified time, the kitchen will send someone to check, and if a problem is found, it will be reported immediately, and it is estimated that they have found out about our departure at this time." Yin Niang explained at this time.

"I see, the entrance is located behind the main hall, it's not very hidden, it is estimated that it will be discovered soon, let's hurry up and get on the boat!" Zhao Yan also gritted his teeth when he heard this, he thought that he could quietly take Yan Yuru and them out of the underground palace, but he didn't expect to be discovered so soon, and it seems that he can only run for his life in a race against time.

After Yan Yuru and Yinniang heard Zhao Yan's words, they immediately followed him to the boat, Zhao Yan first sent them to the boat, and then untied the cable himself, and then jumped on the boat and went down the dark river, the river of this dark river is very turbulent, Zhao Yan Among the three of them, only Zhao Yan knows how to control the boat, which he learned when he was in love when he was swimming in the lake in his previous life.

Zhao Yan only knows a rough idea of how to control the boat, and it can even be said that he is not as good as a child who grew up by the sea, plus the river is so turbulent, so Zhao Yan has always been worried that the boat will be overturned, but fortunately, although the boat under them is not big, but the performance is very good, and it can maintain a good balance in the turbulent current, which also makes Zhao Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Zhao Yan had just walked out not far away with the boat, when he suddenly heard a noise behind him, and then Yan Yuru, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, there is a fire behind us, it seems that the people in the underground palace have discovered the entrance!" ”

Zhao Yan also turned his head to look when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a light behind him, and then he saw several people with torches rushing to the bank of the dark river. Originally, there was no light in the dark river, if Zhao Yan and they extinguished the torches, those people might not be able to see them at all, but Zhao Yan and their boat were driving in the turbulent river, Zhao Yan had to see the situation on the river, after all, if they encountered any reefs or the like, I was afraid that they would all have to be overturned, so the torches on the bow of the boat were also lit all the time, which also made the people behind see their boats at a glance, and immediately chased along the river bank while shouting.

Seeing the people chasing behind, Yan Yuru and Yinniang's faces suddenly turned pale, speaking of which both of them have practiced martial arts, if it comes to force, I'm afraid that ten Zhao Yan is not the opponent of the two of them, but women are naturally a little weak in some aspects, for example, in this case, Zhao Yan is much calmer than them.

"Go back and tell SΓΉ Xu Nei, thank him for his hospitality, this king will definitely have a retribution in the future!" I saw Zhao Yan shouting loudly at the people chasing behind him, and then turned his head to Yan Yuru and the two of them with a smile and comforted, "Don't worry, the river is so fast, they can't catch up with us."
