A moment later, the secret door disguised by Bogu Frame collapsed shut, and Zuo Ying and Ashina sat in a small and dark space indefinitely, only able to perceive their surroundings by hearing and the touch of their hands.

Before the secret door was closed, Zuo Ying observed that the space here was not large, only about five or six square meters, and the walls on three sides were full of Bogu shelves, although they were all vacant now, but after removing the area occupied by the Bogu shelf, there were only less than two square meters of space left for her and Ashina.

There was no movement outside, a suffocating silence all around, and the stale smell in the air made it easy to associate with the embarrassment in which one was in oneself, which made people feel very uneasy.

Originally, Zuo Ying was more skeptical of strangers' assistance than believing, but this time, she had no choice. Without this kind of help, it would be impossible for her to hide, to heal Ashina's wounds indefinitely, and even more difficult to find a way to escape from the city. Therefore, this time, she could only put her chips on the side of believing in Mrs. Xu.

"Hey, how do you know there's really an ambush at the city gate?" Ashina asked in a low voice that was still weak.

Zuo Ying leaned a little closer to Ashina Wuji, and asked in a low voice, "How can you believe that there was really an ambush at the door at that time?" ”

At that time, when their horse was only thirty meters away from the city gate, Zuo Ying suddenly reached out to grab the reins of the horse, resolutely stopped Ashina from continuing to ride forward indefinitely, and finally hid with him in the mansion that seemed to be deserted. I didn't expect to hide in and find out that there was also an old man who took care of the owner of the house, and it was the old man Xu.

"If there had been no ambush at the city gate, they would have thought that we had escaped from the city, and now they would have searched for something!" It seems that although Ashina is weak, his mind is very clear.

"The Imperial Husband is right." Zuo Ying smiled lightly, "Because I saw those footprints and horseshoe prints." It disappeared more than ten meters away from the city gate, which is very abnormal, so it is expected that there must be fraud there. ”

She was not pretending, but she really didn't have a chance to explain at that time, and if she delayed a little longer, the pursuers behind her would arrive at any time.

Ashina Wuji was a little surprised, "Huh? "You can actually observe this." You were like a dead man, and I thought you were ......."

"Indulged in the sacrifice of Scarlet Feather and unable to extricate himself?" Zuo Ying smiled softly from the darkness, "The so-called fate is such a thing. He brings you everything in your life, but little by little he ruthlessly takes away what you cherish. He sows the seeds of hope in your life, but he reaps the fruits, leaving only disappointment for you. Then take pleasure in seeing you in pain and slump. However, I know him, and I will not be defeated by him. Even if you can't avoid suffering, you can't avoid losing. But whether you will be defeated by him or not is up to you. ”

"Are you comforting me?" Ashina Wuji's voice at this time seemed to have no of the usual "standard" fire.

"Indefinitely," Zuo Ying said calmly, "In order to protect me, you have been wronged." You could have continued to be a victorious general in the desert, but while other men were showing off their masculinity with the scars on their bodies, you could have silently demonstrated your superiority and invincibility without a single scar on your body, and let the brilliance on your body far overshadow them. However, because you are very unfortunate to be with me, trapped in this city with insufficient troops, lack of backup, and weak city defenses, the myth that affects you has to be shattered. ”

Ashina was a little stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that the regret in his heart could be explained so accurately and delicately by a second person.

"Still. Indefinitely, I will return it to you. Zuo Ying's voice became firm, "Once we can get out of here alive, I will definitely return to you everything you have lost." You will know that it is worth it to endure this temporary defeat or to flee in disgrace. ”

Ashina listened to Zuo Ying's words quietly for an indefinite period. Although out of pride in his heart, he did not respond immediately. But I don't know why, although he knows that the other party is just a milky little girl. But there is no doubt about her ability to deliver on her promises. He even suddenly felt that this little girl's speech was much more reliable than many men with eyebrows and seven feet of Angzang.

At this time. He felt Zuo Ying's body, which was sitting next to him, trembling slightly.

He seemed to realize something after a pause, opened his arms, hugged Zuo Ying's shoulders, touched her body, and couldn't hold back the slight tremor of the voice that sobbed.

He was almost deceived by her. Whether it was when she calmly treated his wound just now, or when she said that to him casually, it almost made him completely believe that she really turned around and walked out of the pain of losing Scarlet Feather so quickly, and returned to her previous strong, domineering and impeccable posture so quickly.

It wasn't until this moment that he knew that this seemingly invulnerable and invulnerable guy would also be hit hard, in pain, and in tears, except that she was a little stronger, she was no different from an ordinary little girl in this regard.

"Fool, what endure? You're not a man, even if you're a man, no one sees it now, cry out. Ashina debunked indefinitely.

After a moment, he felt Zuo Ying gently resting his head on his shoulder, his body no longer trembling, a warmth through his clothes, felt by his skin, and gradually penetrated into his blood, spreading to his whole body.

He seemed to suddenly find that this person who was of a different race, had a different life background, and even had an opposing position, the distance between him and him was not as far as he imagined, she was not poisonous and thorny, her heart could be understood by him, and she could be approached by him. If it weren't for the dangerous situation he was in now, he would definitely be nostalgic for the two of them close to each other at this moment, without a sense of wit and calculation.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps and talking from the music across the wall attracted the attention of the two men.

"You live alone in such a big place?" Through the wall came the voice of a commanding man.

"No, the Lord." It was Mr. Xu who answered cautiously, "Originally, there was a family of eight people living here in the old Han family, and there were a few subordinates. But since the owner's family moved out half a year ago, only the old man is left here to guard the old house. ”

"You are watching such a big place alone, it is likely that someone hid in when no one was paying attention, you search carefully!"

"Yes!"

The voices of those voices and footsteps were getting closer. Thankfully, perhaps because there was really no place to hide in the empty study, the rummaging and footsteps that had once lingered in the neighborhood were soon gone.

Just as the two people in the dark room were breathing a sigh of relief, there was a relatively light footstep outside, as if one or two people were walking over, and it was very close to where they were hiding.

"Look, this Maitreya Buddha statue seems to be very valuable." A thin, carefully suppressed voice came from the wall.

"yes, that's a good look, like it's smiling at us." The voice of the other was rougher.

Isn't the Maitreya Buddha statue that the two people outside are talking about just the one that can open their secret door? If they inadvertently touch the mechanism, the consequences are unimaginable! Zuo Ying and Ashina suddenly became nervous when they heard this, and they clenched the weapons in their hands together.

"Why is it so heavy?" The shrill voice just now came from the wall with a strong tone. I guess the man was moving the Buddha statue.

"How so? It's just a ceramic, not gold! I got it! "It looks like the rough-voiced man is going to get his hands dirty.

Zuo Ying estimated in her heart: There are two people outside, if they can be put down "bloodlessly" and drag their bodies into this dark room before the large army returns, they may be able to make others mistakenly think that these two people have gone back first, and they can temporarily avoid this while, and then find a way to transfer after they leave. It was risky, but it was the most ideal situation she could think of. If it is not handled well, it immediately alarms all the thieves who came in to search, and with the silver fire of her only a few bullets left and the seriously injured Ashina indefinitely, there is no chance of winning at all.

But this "bloodless" work can only be handed over to Ashina to carry out indefinitely, in this situation of not being able to speak, how can her plan communicate with him?

Just when Zuo Ying's attention was highly concentrated, a third voice suddenly came from outside that almost startled her.

"What are you two doing here?" At this moment, from a distance, the commanding voice just now came.

"Ah, senior brother, we ...... Just wanted to look more closely here. ”

The man with a rough voice seemed very timid and weak-hearted. But the man with the shrill voice was clearly the opposite of the former.

The shrill voice carried a smile, "Senior brother, look at this Maitreya Buddha statue, it seems to be worth some money." Anyway, the owner of this house also moved away, and he didn't bring this thing with him, so he probably didn't want it. Let's take it back, exchange it for some wine money, and reward the brothers for their hard work for days, don't you think it's appropriate? ”

There was a sudden silence outside. That period of silence was just a few seconds, which made Zuo Ying and Ashina tense their nerves indefinitely, and the simple "good" or "bad" of the person outside directly decided the lives of the two of them and Mr. Xu.

"Thank you, brother!"

The commanding man's voice didn't come again, but he directly heard the shrill voice thanking him. Apparently their "senior brother" has already nodded!
