After walking for about half an hour, the dark passage in front of me became wider. Jing Yuzhao followed the dirt steps and came to a semicircle with walls on all sides, and there was no road ahead.

Jing Yuzhao held the candle and looked carefully at the wall. See if there are any frescoes or secret doors. Nothing came of it. Jing Yuzhao began to pound the ground again. Kneel on the ground and knock while listening carefully close to your ear. I faintly heard the sound of chains shaking. Is it underground?

Jing Yuzhao got up, gathered strength, and stepped on the ground a few times. Then immediately climb to the ground and listen to the sounds. The sound of chains was heard more clearly. Could it be that there is some big monster inside? Tianqing seems to be a normal world, not a fantasy world.

Jing Yuzhao rubbed his face and stopped thinking nonsense. Intensify your search around.

Taking out a kitchen knife, Jing Yuzhao slashed around. For a time it was dusty. Jing Yuzhao coughed and covered his mouth and ate a mouthful of soil.

Suddenly, a crack opened in the ground, and Jing Yuzhao fell down without warning.

"Ahh

Bang. Jing Yuzhao's buttocks hit the ground and hurt to death. Get up quickly and lean against the wall. About fifty feet away from him, he saw a man with long white hair locked in a rusty iron chain. The man had his head down, and he couldn't see his face.

Jing Yuzhao had goosebumps all over his body and leaned against the wall.

"Who are you? Why are you being locked up here. ”

The man suddenly looked up, revealing a stubbled face. I only saw two big bull's-eyed eyeballs. The man ran towards Jing Yuzhao violently. Jing Yuzhao clenched the kitchen knife and prepared to fight.

With a bang, he stopped about two meters in front of Jing Yuzhao.

"Little girl?" The voice is rough and hoarse, and it is also a little sharp, giving people a creepy feeling.

Jing Yuzhao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he couldn't come, at least he would be safe if he didn't step forward and die. "How long have you been locked up? Lonely? Tell me, who are you? "A look of abduction.

The man retreated. Sit on the floor.

"What do you want? Girl? ”

"And what can you give me?" Jing Yuzhao put away his joke face.

The man laughed. "How long do you think I've been locked up?"

The man was thin, but he was not dead. That means he can still eat. So who brought him food? A person who doesn't eat for a month will starve to death. But looking at his appearance, he has obviously been locked up for a long time.

"Is there another entrance here?"

The man looked at Jing Yuzhao strangely. "Where did you come from?"

"I don't have much time, so I won't go around in circles with you. Let's be honest with each other. You're locked up here, you must want to get out. And I came in at the risk of asking for something. Fair trade, how? ”

Snapping applause. The chains rattled.

"Clever little girl. My name is Night, the former leader of the Blood Guard. Your turn. ”

Blood Guard? Haven't heard of it.

"I'm Jing Yuyan. Came in from the cold palace of the Imperial Palace. "I can't say my real name, but I can't talk nonsense too fake. To borrow it, I usually like to bully my own people.

"Surname Jing? The royal people. Sure enough, it's guts. ”

Now that you've come this far, be brave. Jing Yuzhao took a step forward, "Why are you locked up here?" What do you want? What can you exchange with me? ”

The dark night sneered. Sure enough, it's a royal person, and everything comes first for profit. Lack of affection is synonymous with them.

"I'm locked up here by the Holy Lord. As for why he didn't die, because there was indeed another way here, and someone would come regularly to bring some food. This iron chain is made of dark iron. Only the best sword can be opened. If you open it, I'll give you a great gift. ”

I don't believe it, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. "Will it kill me? Although I don't know what a blood guard is, but when I hear it, it's a special organization, and your martial arts must be very high. ”

The dark eyes of the dark night stared at Jing Yuzhao. The little girl in front of him may be his only hope for revenge.

"My martial arts have been abolished. It didn't take long to live. The Emperor locked me up, but he couldn't kill me because of his vows. As long as I get out, I'll be able to regain control of the Blood Guard. That's what I exchanged. As for my conditions, get me out, and I want revenge. Dark night's eyes were bloodshot, waiting for Jing Yuzhao tightly.

Jing Yuzhao flinched a little in his heart, he couldn't be a big villain, right? He asked, "What is a blood guard?" ”

"Blood Guard, Sword of the Son of Heaven. Do all the shady things Your Majesty wants to do. Knowing the secret, the knife sees blood. It is the person His Majesty likes the most and wants to kill the most. ”

Secrets can kill others, but they can also invite death for themselves. Jing Yuzhao hesitated. I thought it was a secret passage, but I didn't expect to pull out the secret thing.

The night saw her hesitation.

"In the half-moon period, there will be people here again. Even though you are masked, you can easily be detected. This palace is his palace. ”

Jing Yuzhao suddenly understood. The person who delivered the meal must have been a high-ranking person. But to become a blood guard is to stand in the shadows, on the tip of a knife. Since then, he and the emperor are monarchs and ministers?

"If you become the commander, then it will not be easy to kill me?"

Dark Night suddenly smiled, not a very innocent little girl.

"You only have half a month."

This is a threat. Save may die, and if you don't save, you may die.

Jing Yuzhao took out a few steamed buns from his baggage, which were dry food prepared for himself. "And then."

After saying that, he threw it over. The dark night picked it up.

The person whose martial arts have been abolished is also so good? Jing Yuzhao was full of doubts. If you don't save him, you'll have to kill him and cover up all traces. I don't know if it's going to work.

Dark Night pointed to the gossip diagram on the wall, "Press that." ”

Jing Yuzhao suddenly suspected that there were really two roads here? The way I came from is so obvious, it's impossible not to be discovered.

Jing Yuzhao jumped up with a lot of questions. Follow the road and go back.

Jing Yuzhao was about to push away the wall in front of him when he suddenly stopped. No, in the wrong direction. If you open this wall, it is not a cold palace, then you will be finished. Stick your ears to the wall. The faint sound of flipping a book was heard. With such a short distance, you will definitely not be able to get out of the palace, so where is this?

Jing Yuzhao broke out in a cold sweat. I went back the way I came, and I came to the same semicircle again. Take out a kitchen knife and continue to chop indiscriminately. Close your eyes and feel the ground shake. The dust was flying, and it seemed that there was only the sound of brushing and waving knives. There was a slight vibration under his feet. Follow the feeling for the first time and recall your footwork.

It's an eye-opener again. Jing Yuzhao's eyes didn't seem to have changed anything, and they seemed to have changed a lot. Walk over again and reach the wall. Ear post on the wall and listen carefully. There was no sound. Jing Yuzhao didn't dare to move, and waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Zixuan's voice came from outside.

"Princess, princess, it's going to be dawn."

Zixuan outside was very anxious. The princess had been in for too long. She crept around the room looking for a mechanism.

The wall shook, and Jing Yuzhao, who was covered in dust, walked out.
