In the depths of Nanshan, the few dozen remaining dark chess pieces were carefully searching for Xu Rui's whereabouts.

"There are footprints here!"

The dark chess in charge of the probing suddenly let out a low voice.

Bai Xiaohan's face changed, and he hurriedly helped him to leave.

The two of them stood on a huge rock and looked down to see that there was a small cave just below the rock, the entrance of the cave was covered with dense vegetation, very hidden, and there were half small footprints in the bushes outside the entrance of the cave.

"Half of the footprints have been wiped off, and it looks like someone has cleaned the place."

Bai Xiaohan frowned and whispered.

He slowly walked to the footprints while holding on to the rocks and took a closer look, then nodded, "Yes, they cleaned in a hurry, and it shouldn't be too long, maybe not long before we got here." ”

"Come and see this!"

Bai Xiaohan squatted at the mouth of the cave, beckoning to leave with a strange expression.

When I was about to leave and take a look, I saw Bai Xiaohan pulling out a bush and carving a string of small marks at the foot of the stone wall of the cave, which would never be visible if he didn't look closely.

"It's ......"

He frowned, and a hint of consternation flashed in his eyes.

Bai Xiaohan said: "It's the secret chess code in the army, but it should have been discontinued last month." ”

Yaoli shook his head and said, "This mark is definitely newly engraved, and it won't take more than a day." ”

Bai Xiaohan nodded and said, "That's why I think it's strange." ”

"What does the code mean?"

To leave the question.

Bai Xiaohan said: "It means that what we are looking for is hidden in the Wenbi Tower." ”

Wenbi Tower was originally a famous monument of the previous dynasty, the location is on the top of a small hill seven or eight miles east of Changxing City, due to disrepair, has been in a state of abandonment.

Because of its large terrain difference and the extremely fast speed of several small rivers nearby, Xu Rui once used it as one of the alternative sites when he inspected the site of the factory, but because he could not find a large enough flat land in that place, it was really not suitable for building a factory, so he gave up.

"Writing Tower ......"

To stare away from his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Do you know who left the code?" ”

Bai Xiaohan shook his head: "I don't know, for last night's operation, most of the forces we have arranged in the northern country for more than ten years have been exposed, and the entire system has been greatly damaged, and many dark chess pieces have become kites with broken strings, which is probably one of them." ”

Hearing her say this, she was puzzled: "I have always had a question, when I was sent to the Northern Dynasty to perform a small mission, why was I willing to spend such a big price when I came to you?" ”

Bai Xiaohan's face turned solemn and said: "You have been away from the Southern Dynasty for several months, I don't know the current situation, I can't say the specifics, I can only tell you that a lot of things have happened after General Zhong Qingyuan's return, and the capture or killing of Xu Rui is the prince's personal care." ”

"Then you don't have to destroy the foundation of more than ten years?"

Bai Xiaohan smiled bitterly: "Who can guess the prince's thoughts?" Besides, our dark chess is just a knife in the hands of the prince, and the prince has more than this knife like this, even if the knife is broken, he will not feel a pity for the old man. ”

Saying that, Bai Xiaohan shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this, what do you think about this matter?" ”

If Xu Rui really landed near the river bay, then it is indeed the most likely to settle in this vicinity, but this code is strange, if Xu Rui really fell into the hands of a certain dark chess, that person should contact us nearby, how could he directly transfer him to the east of the city?" ”

Bai Xiaohan nodded and said, "Don't believe it, don't believe it, so let's continue to look around, and at the same time send someone to the Wenbi Tower to have a look." ”

Xu Rui seemed to have had a long, long dream, and it was like watching a lengthy movie, and when his consciousness gradually returned, he only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

"Hiss......"

Xu Rui gasped, covered the back of his head and woke up groggily.

He suddenly remembered the scene in front of the cave, and his heart was shocked, and he quickly sat up from the ground.

Looking around, he found that he was in a secret room, a small oil lamp not far away was the only source of light, and there were hard stone walls all around, except for a small iron door, and there were no ventilation windows.

"Are you awake?"

A weak voice came from behind him, Xu Rui looked back, and saw Cao Wanxi walking towards him.

At this time, her face was pale, and her white clothes were covered with blood and mud, but her spirit was not bad, and she didn't suffer too much.

Just thinking about it, Xu Rui had another sharp pain in the back of his head, and he subconsciously reached out to cover it, but found that there was a bandage wrapped around his head, and the knotting technique turned out to be a modern bandaging method.

"I saw that your head was bleeding, so I helped you entangle it, and I don't know if it is useful."

Cao Wanxi tilted her head, and her face flushed.

"This is your bag?"

Xu Rui asked in surprise.

Cao Wanxi nodded: "I saw that the fancy style you bandaged the shadow girl was very good-looking, so I learned to do it." ”

Xu Rui was stunned: "You can take a look at it?" ”

Cao Wanxi was also stunned: "Is this difficult?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not too difficult to learn, but if you want to say that you will see it once, it will be very rare, probably you have the potential to be a nurse." ”

"Nurse?"

Cao Wan looked at Xu Rui puzzled.

Xu Rui snorted and said, "Oh, it's a kind of business in my division." ”

Cao Wanxi lowered her head and said shyly: "I heard that Xu Gongzi is a master of the Ghost Valley, which one of your teachers is not a legend, where can the little girl compare?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head, and was about to comfort him a few words, but suddenly remembered the seriously injured Ying Yu, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes searched around the secret room.

"Are you looking for her?"

Seeing his appearance, Cao Wanxi asked faintly, and said that she would take half a step away, and Xu Rui saw a person lying in the corner behind her, who would it be if it wasn't Yingyu.

He was worried about the safety of Shadow Li, and he didn't care about answering, so he rushed to Shadow Li's side and checked it carefully.

Fortunately, although Ying Yu lost too much blood and was still in a coma, his breathing and heartbeat were still stable, and his forehead was not too hot, and the high fever of stress had subsided.

Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

Cao Wanxi saw that Xu Rui cared about Ying Yu so much, and her heart was slightly sour for no reason, and sighed: "It seems that Xu Gongzi is very interested in Ying Yu." ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "You're wrong, I'm not interested in her, I'm very attentive to everyone around me, they are like my arms, my legs, and even my heart." ”

Cao Wanxi was stunned: "Even if it's a dead soldier or a subordinate?" ”

Xu Rui turned his head and said solemnly: "Born as a human being, there is no distinction between high and low, in my opinion, there are only three kinds of people in the world, the first is the enemy, you can't have the slightest mercy for this kind of person, otherwise you will suffer from it."

The second type of person is a passerby, this kind of person is dispensable, there is no need to provoke, there is no need to flatter, just treat each other politely.

The third type of person is my own people, this kind of talent is all the elements that make up my world, regardless of status, near and far, they are all equally precious and equal. ”

Cao Wanxi turned her back to the oil lamp, Xu Rui couldn't see her expression, and she didn't know that when he said this, Cao Wanxi's eyes had been nailed to his body, and it was full of brilliance.

Cao Wanxi came from a humble background, and the so-called backer was just a precarious father-in-law Cao, although Gonggong Cao brought her into high society, but could not provide other shelter.

Kind, in order to share the pressure of her uncle, she always relented to meet her will.

In that world, being inferior is a pig and a dog-like poverty, as if she was born to be ridiculed and blinded, but she is weak, but she is a little high in her bones, and she has been tortured in the light and dust and struggling with self-pity.

She originally thought that all men in this world were the same, especially those high-ranking kings and nobles, the higher their status, the more they didn't treat others as human beings.

But Xu Rui let him see the other side of the man, not only because of Fang Cai's words, but also because she saw Xu Rui flee first regardless of his own safety, and saw Xu Rui give everything he had for this dead man named Yingyu, suffering from gains and losses.

is an earth-shattering talent, but he does not despise the world, and he is not conceited, maybe such a man can be regarded as standing up to the sky, right?

Cao Wanxi looked at this thin young man, and her heart was shocked for a while.

"Do you know what this place is?"

Xu Rui's words interrupted Cao Wanxi's thoughts.

She was slightly stunned, and then shook her head: "Before, I only saw a figure suddenly coming down from the tree and knocking you out, and before I could see his appearance clearly, I somehow fainted, and I just woke up not long ago." ”

Xu Rui immediately frowned when he heard this: "This is strange, the dark chess should have hit my plan to attack the west, is there anything else that is missing?" ”

"It's not that Xu Gongzi missed it, but you don't know about our existence at all!"

At this moment, a hearty voice suddenly came from outside the iron gate.
