Chapter 43: The Aftermath

The green smoke was filled, and Leng Changxi, who was hiding on the stone pillar, made a big move, and no matter how big the person outside could not see it, he stretched out his slender middle finger and index finger, carefully knocking on the gap that was as narrow as a hair, and he didn't know how Leng Changxi found out that there was actually a secret grid on the top of the stone, suddenly, Leng Changxi exerted his strength, and the slender fingers didn't know why there was such a big force, and moved the stone that sealed the dark grid out, and immediately, a cool and moist wind blew out from the black hole.

"The wind is wet." Qin Yunuan also felt it, "It means that there is water on the other side of this cave." ”

When this green smoke dissipates, Chen Jingrui will definitely send someone in again, Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan can't hide for a while, Leng Changxi poked half of his body into the hole, and after confirming that there was no poison and insect swarm in it, he turned back to Qin Yunuan and said, "Nuan Nuan, keep up." ”

Qin Yunuan hesitated slightly, and Leng Changxi said categorically: "Believe me, my intuition tells me that a cunning woman like Chen Guan will definitely leave countless back roads for herself, and this tunnel is likely to be one of the back roads." ”

That's right, such a hidden and incredible tunnel, except for Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, who came here to take refuge, it should be difficult for anyone to think of it.

Qin Yunuan gritted his teeth and followed Leng Changxi to climb into the tunnel, when he first entered, it was very narrow, only enough for a person to crawl forward, but it didn't take long to climb, the space immediately became larger, which could make people hunch forward, the two of them had no time to care about what would happen to Chen Jingrui at this time, but listening to the faint screams behind them, it seemed that the group of people had accidentally triggered other mechanisms, and the terrible screams were endless, Qin Yunuan frowned: "I smell the smell of the insect swarm." ”

Leng Changxi paused, and heard Qin Yunuan say again: "It's not in this tunnel, it's behind us, it's very light, it should be in the hall with the night pearl." ”

"Oh," Leng Changxi nodded, "That's none of our business." ”

The two of them walked faster and faster, and suddenly, a faint light appeared in front of them, and with it, there was a loud rumbling sound of water.

It's a waterfall!

Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi glanced at each other, there must be a waterfall in front of them, otherwise this tunnel would not be wet like this, Qin Yunuan mobilized all her previous memories, she didn't remember where there was a waterfall on the map, judging from the markers on the map, the Savage Valley didn't even have a tall cliff, and where did the terrain form such a magnificent waterfall.

No, there is a place.

The two of them thought almost at the same time, and said in unison: "Little hut." ”

That's right, it's the little thatched hut where the eldest princess lives, there is a cliff fifty meters high, and there is also a river at the bottom of the cliff, if there is a waterfall upstream, it is not strange;

At this point, the two of them were even more interested, Leng Changxi took Qin Yunuan's hand, and carefully moved to the entrance of the cave step by step, the soft sunlight came to his face, but it stung Qin Yunuan's eyes who had been in the dark for a long time, and the waterfall went straight down three steps away from them, and the sound of the water hit the stone below violently, and over the years, a stone that was originally extremely sharp and full of edges and corners was washed round and smooth.

The water vapor came to her face and smashed heavily on Qin Yunuan's delicate little face, taking advantage of the light, Qin Yunuan saw clearly at this time that the clothes of her and Leng Changxi were already gray and stained with a lot of dust, and even their faces showed an indescribable vicissitudes.

Leng Changxi calmly glanced down, estimated the height and angle of entering the water, turned his head and hugged Qin Yunuan, and buried Qin Yunuan's little head in his chest: "Nuan Nuan, don't be afraid." ”

"Changxi, you ......." Qin Yunuan was stunned, but immediately, a sense of weightlessness followed, in an instant, Qin Yunuan's whole body was wet with the rushing water, she didn't dare to open her eyes, the next second, it seemed that the whole person was immersed in the cold and biting water, the powerful waterfall water rushed Qin Yunuan's body violently, as if she wanted to break through her heavenly spirit cover, Qin Yunuan couldn't swim, it was all up to Leng Changxi to drag her with one hand to swim towards the place where the water was gentle, and when she swam to the shallow water, Leng Changxi was exhausted.

The water was biting cold, Qin Yunuan struggled to crawl out of the water, dragged Leng Changxi to the shore with the only remaining strength, and then knelt beside Leng Changxi, the two looked at each other, and there was a silent smile, yes, they escaped, they finally escaped from the hellish weapons factory.

Just when the two of them looked at each other with affection, the waterfall suddenly turned, and was distorted by a strong wind, and a heat wave rolled out from the original hole, with the smell of flames and burning, presumably the person inside triggered some mechanism, I thought it was just this heat wave, but then, Qin Yunuan saw that the mountain seemed to be shaking violently, like an earthquake.

"Nuan Nuan, let's go." Leng Changxi saw that this was not good, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he picked up Qin Yunuan and ran towards the open space in the distance, and behind him, accompanied by the rumbling sound of the mountain cracking and collapsing, There are also countless meteor-like stones, Leng Changxi flew to protect Qin Yunuan tightly under him, through the gap between Leng Changxi's sleeves, Qin Yunuan saw that the mountain in the distance shattered a large piece, and the water of the entire waterfall also splashed, until everything subsided, this mountain has been broken to the point that it is not in shape, the original waterfall has retreated a lot for no reason, and the rocks below are all broken down from the mountain, accepting the ruthless washing of this waterfall again.

"Lady Tuoba, Lady Tuoba." In the distance, a familiar shout attracted the attention of Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan, there was actually someone down there.

Qin Yunuan turned his head and found that it was Acha, who had been left in the tribe by them before, and he was followed by two younger brothers, who looked a little haggard and sullen.

"It's really you." Atcha was very excited when he saw Leng Changxi, "Master Tuoba, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back." ”

"Why are you here?" Leng Changxi remembered that they were asked to take the eldest princess as far as they could.

"We don't know where to go" Atcha said, while taking off his sheepskin coat and handing it to Leng Changxi, Leng Changxi did not refuse, the water was too cold, he dusted the gown, and wrapped it on Qin Yunuan's trembling little body, Aca looked at it, smiled, and continued, "Then we decided to come to this small hut and wait for you." ”

"What about Mother?" Although Leng Changxi doesn't have a gown, he can use his true qi to protect his body, and he is already much warmer.

Atcha only pouted in the direction of the small thatched hut, Leng Changxi was about to take a step, but Qin Yunuan suddenly stopped in front of Leng Changxi, frowned and said: "I smell a smell of expensive spices, and a slight smell of horse manure, there should be someone in the small thatched hut;

。 After Qin Yunuan finished speaking, he looked sideways at Acha again, "Acha, you tell the truth." ”

Acha was a little embarrassed and lowered his head: "I'll tell you the truth, I'm afraid that Tuoba Gongzi will kill me." ”

Leng Changxi turned his head sideways: "You say it directly." ”

Atcha took a deep breath and said: "We have only arrived at this small hut not long ago, and a pair of people and horses came, both armored and long knives, led by a very powerful person, opened his mouth to take Mrs. away, we naturally did not let it, and Mrs. refused to leave, saying that it was to wait for Tuoba Gongzi to come, and the group of people has been guarding the house now, saying that they are going to wait for Tuoba Gongzi to arrive, and discuss it well." ”

After listening to this, Qin Yunuan frowned slightly, the smell of spices she smelled was definitely not ordinary spices, but palace yu'yong, and the smell of horse manure was not as stinky and unpleasant as ordinary horse manure, most of them were fed with good grass on weekdays, if it was inferred like this, could it be that someone who came was ......

Before Qin Yunuan could say anything, Leng Changxi was already striding towards the small thatched house, and there were indeed several highest-grade sweaty horses around the small thatched house who were burying their heads in grazing, and one of the most energetic horses was staring at the door intently, and the saddle of this horse was still inlaid with a string of gems, which was extremely luxurious.

There were a few people in black armor guarding the door at the door, and seeing that Leng Changxi was not good, he was even more vigilant and pinned the long knife at his waist in front of him.

"Who's coming?"

"Daqi Leng Changxi." Leng Changxi was blunt and unabashed.

Atsa's eyes widened underneath: "Cold...... Leng Changxi? Could it be that Tuoba Gongzi is the god of war of Daqi, the legendary young warrior? ”

Qin Yunuan replied in a flat tone: "Isn't it like that?" Now is not the time to discuss this, the three of you are here and signal us if there is any disturbance. After that, Qin Yunuan also followed Leng Changxi up the steps, the door had already broken many holes, and he could see a man sitting in black armor with eyebrows and eyes as sharp as a blade, looking not very old, but in his early twenties, but that shrewd look could not be compared to even the veteran soldiers who had been on the battlefield for many years.

It's going to be a tough one.

Qin Yunuan stepped forward and silently took Leng Changxi's hand, just like Leng Changxi would do the same when she herself felt helpless and scared countless times.

"Let him in." The tone of the person inside was leisurely, with a hint of disdain.

The bamboo door was opened, and the furnishings inside were still the same as before, the young man was sitting facing the door, with a beautifully made horn pot in his hand, and there was a faint aroma of wine in it.

"What about the eldest princess?" Leng Changxi did not let his guard down.

The young man raised his eyes and sneered coldly: "In a very safe place, but I said that General Leng of Daqi, you didn't ask my name when you came in, and it was a little rude to bluntly only ask about the whereabouts of the eldest princess." ”

"Do I need to ask?" Leng Changxi stared at the young man's eyes, to be honest, as a bystander, Qin Yunuan's eyes seemed to be like Leng Changxi's, not to mention eight points, but also five points.

"Jing Yuanchu." Leng Changxi directly called out this person's name, "The thirteenth prince of the Western Xia Kingdom, I'm not wrong." ”
