Chapter 045: The Road to Escape
The heavy gate of the cold palace behind him was already vulnerable, and seeing that the soldiers were about to break in, Cang Ninghao hugged Si Yunsheng's waist tightly, and sighed faintly: "Yunsheng, if you don't leave, Qingqiu's death will not be worth it!" ”
There was some cold liquid, sliding down her beautiful cheeks, Si Yunshang bit her lips tightly, broke away from Cang Ninghao's embrace angrily, took out the rope from the package and threw it into the dry well without saying a word, and immediately jumped in lightly.
Qingqiu, you and I will not let you die in vain, one day, I will let those people pay back their blood debts!
Secretly swearing in his heart, a fierce determination flashed on Si Yunsheng's cold face.
The ten-meter-deep dry well was overgrown with weeds, and the smell of dampness and decay came to the nostrils, and it was dark as if there was no way out. Si Yunshang twisted her eyebrows lightly, and suddenly remembered the night pearl that Han Zeyu gave her, and hurriedly took it out of her arms, the beads that were not big or small emitted a faint light in the dark, and with this little light, Si Yunshang clearly saw a narrow passage.
The corners of his lips flicked a sneer, everything was in Han Zeyu's control, he knew that this dry well was the only way to escape, so he gave her the night pearl in advance, this man's mind is deep, and it is really not comparable to ordinary people.
Seeing that An Shaoling had already put away the rope, Si Yunshang took a step towards the passage, but Cang Ninghao took the first step and walked in front of her, brushing his lips and smiling: "Even if it is the way to escape, there must be a lot of organs, I will open the way in front, you can just follow!" ”
It sounded like an ordinary sentence, but it touched Si Yunsheng's heart with great weight, she opened her cold eyes and looked at Cang Ninghao indifferently. In her previous life, every time she went on a mission with her companions, no matter how many dangers were hidden in front of her, she was the pioneer who opened the way.
But now, there is someone who is willing to be her pioneer, and he is also the prince of a country, shouldering his own mission, is he not afraid of danger if he is stumped?
"What a daze, let's go!" Sensing Si Yunsheng's distraction, Cang Ninghao raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and then took the night pearl in her palm with his right hand, and his left hand unconsciously took her hand and walked into the dark corridor.
His hands are not as wide and full of calluses as Han Zeyu, they are a little cold and delicate, like ice silk, and the faint and cold can sweep away the heat and anxiety in people's hearts. But this short-term tranquility should not belong to her, Si Yunshang subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand back, but Cang Ninghao held it tighter.
Si Yunsheng's heart chuckled suddenly, but he finally gave up and let him lead him. But she couldn't see his face, nor did she see a shallow smile on the corners of his lips, which were as thin as flower petals.
"Queen Mother, after escaping, do you have a place you want to go?" An Shaoling followed closely behind them and asked casually, since Si Yunshang saved him from Han Zeyu's hands that day, his originally arrogant heart had more respect for Si Yunsheng.
Si Yunsheng's footsteps stagnated slightly, in this strange ancient time, how could she want to go anywhere. Lingsang Kingdom categorically can't go back, the earth is big that day, where should she go.
Unable to get her answer, An Shaoling said again: "If Niangniang has nowhere to go, why don't you go back to the country with His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Raising her eyes and looking at Cang Ninghao's back, Si Yunshang did not answer, they returned to the country in order to complete the mission of recovering the country, if she went with her, she would definitely be involved in war and strife, this is not the life she wants.
In her previous life, she lived a worrying life every day as an agent, and she never slept peacefully. Reborn in this life, if she can, she wants to choose to stay away from the world, even if she wanders the world, and she doesn't want to be with blood again.
"Don't you want to come with me?" Cang Ninghao suddenly stood on his feet, turned around, and his purple eyes looked at her fiercely in the dim light.
Si Yunshang lowered his eyes secretly, slowly withdrew his hand, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it after I go out!" "Now she is still in danger, and it is still unknown whether she can escape from Han Zeyu's control, so she doesn't want to make more plans for the time being!
Cang Ninghao pursed his lips and didn't say more, but turned around and continued to walk forward, but he didn't take a few steps, and suddenly stopped, Si Yunshang didn't pay attention, didn't stop his steps, and his small nose hit his hard back so hard!
The sour pain hit his head, Si Yunshang covered his nose, and asked him in a muffled voice, "Why stop!" ”
Cang Ninghao looked back, a trace of apology flashed in his purple pupils, and he immediately made way to the left side, and raised the night pearl in his hand to the front, and suddenly, the scene ahead came into Si Yunsheng's eyes!
By this time they had reached the end of the road, opposite which was a row of steps with no end in sight, and beneath their feet was a bottomless cliff, and there was no road to the opposite side.
Cang Ninghao looked around with the Night Pearl, and finally came to the conclusion: "Desperate situation, there is no way out!" ”
"Your Highness, how is this good?" An Shaoling asked worriedly, for fear that he would be trapped in this place.
"If you don't have a road, you have to find a way to build your own road!" Si Yunsheng's cold voice said decisively, resolutely took out the rope from the bag, held the side with the iron hook high, and threw it to the opposite side hard, the iron hook hooked Shi Yan, Si Yunshang pulled it, and made sure that the hook was firm, and then tied the rope in his hand to an iron pillar next to him.
"I'll go first, you follow!" Hanging the package around his neck, Si Yunshang did not have the slightest fear, grabbed the rope and was about to climb, but was pulled by Cang Ninghao.
"Be careful!" His shallow voice was full of his concern.
Si Yunshang was slightly stunned, then nodded, and there was no longer a moment of delay, his legs and arms hung tightly upside down with the rope, and he climbed towards the opposite step little by little. An Shaoling was thrilled to see, his stunning face was slightly pale, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he was frightened.
Seeing that Si Yunshang finally managed to climb to the opposite side, Cang Ninghao's tightly twisted heart relaxed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to push An Shaoling, who was frightened, forward, and said calmly: "Shaoling, it's your turn!" ”
Looking at the bottomless abyss, An Shaoling was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he couldn't even speak: "Palace... Your Highness... You... You go over first, Shao Ling breaks and then ......"
Glimpsing that Si Yunshang had already walked up the steps, Cang Ninghao didn't want to delay for a moment, so he said, "Okay, you can keep up as soon as possible, we don't have extra time!" With that, he carried the light work, and his toes lightly tapped on the rope, and in a few jumps, he landed on the opposite side.
The long staircase stretched out in the dark in the shape of a steep slope, Si Yunshang paused, waited for Cang Ninghao to step forward, took the night pearl and shone it forward, where the faint light reached, except for the stairs, there was no other sight.
"Let's go!" Cang Ninghao said lightly, leaned over again and walked in front to open the way, but as soon as his feet took two steps up the stairs, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of 'click', as if he had stepped on some mechanism under his feet!
