Chu Muruo took another step forward with the sword, Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped back, only to hear her say in a cold voice, "Xia Xiaoxiao, don't think that with Beigong Pheasant Li and Beigong Yu supporting you, this princess will not dare to really do anything to you," the more she said, the more she gritted her teeth, "This princess is not Murong Qianlian, she only knows how to bluff you with a sword, believe it or not, this princess will kill you now!" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao has no choice, if he doesn't run, he won't die, and if he runs, he can't run away, but if he can live for a while, he has to bow his head under the blade, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood......

Well, then she cried and begged, "Grandma, what do you say you are doing with me?" If you are really so angry, why don't you just go to Beigong Pheasant and leave, you have so many people here, it is very rewarding to threaten me with a sword? ”

Looking horizontally and vertically, Chu Muruo took no less than ten people with her this time, even if she had wings, she couldn't fly away, not to mention that Chu Muruo herself also had a kung fu foundation. [No pop-ups. 】

"You don't need so many people, and you're not the opponent of this princess!"

Chu Muruo was extremely angry, and the tip of the sword in his hand was really about to stab Xia Xiaoxiao, Xia Xiaoxiao fell to the ground with a butt, and a pair of hands just stopped Chu Muruo's sword that was about to fall on her, Xia Xiaoxiao raised her eyes to see that it was the person who was grabbing her on horseback who had rushed to them at this moment.

"Bold! Don't let go yet! ”

Chu Muruo's face turned red with anger, and he shouted angrily.

When the man learned of the passover, he immediately let go of his hand, looked down at Xia Xiaoxiao, and reminded Chu Muruo in a deep voice, "Princess, the emperor said that people should be delivered safely." ”

Chu Muruo's face changed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and the long sword that was about to fall on Xia Xiaoxiao's body was slowly retracted unwillingly, and a pair of eyes were still staring at Xia Xiaoxiao.

Emperor? Chu Boyuan?

"Hey!" Xia Xiaoxiao got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, hid some of his previous fear, and said loudly, "Chu Muruo, what are you going to take me to Nanming for!" ”

Chu Muruo glanced at her, handed the put away long sword to your guard beside him, and sneered, "Don't worry, my father is not as heavy as Helian Chi, and he has no plans to include you in the harem!" ”

"Who wants to marry your father's old immortal!"

Xia Xiaoxiao replied angrily before she could hear the meaning of her words, and after the words were finished, Chu Muruo had already ordered someone to step forward and drag Xia Xiaoxiao to the direction where the horse was, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the person who was grabbing her viciously, and shouted loudly at Chu Muruo who was walking in front, "You haven't said what you want to take me to Nanming for!" ”

Chu Muruo seemed to be annoyed by her question, turned his head and glared at her, "Cherish the few days you lived, stay useless, be careful not to die in my hands," and then looked at her with great disdain and sneered, "With people like you." ”

is disdainful, extremely disdainful, she doesn't even have the idea of contemplating her, she thinks that she is lifting Xia Xiaoxiao with such thoughts.

To be shrewd is not shrewd enough, to be simple and not simple enough, and even the temperament is not noteworthy, that is the skin, and it is only a little barely able to see it, a person like her, why? Why does Beigong Yu forget it alone, and he has to add that Beigong Pheasant Li also likes her like this? Or even like her to the point that no matter what she does for him, he can't see it?

Even, she thought that even the acquaintance was that she knew him earlier than Xia Xiaoxiao.

She couldn't figure it out, if she was like Xia Yingxi, at least shrewd enough, at least had the means, at least beautiful enough, at least it would make her a little jealous, and Xia Xiaoxiao had nothing, she Chu Muruo looked down on the most in this life was the person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but she was partial to life, and what Beigong Pheasant Li liked was Xia Xiaoxiao, who she looked down on so much.

So what has become of her?

The more she thought about it, the clusters of flames in her heart couldn't help but rush to her head, Chu Muruo got on the horse, let out a low shout, and used force to whip the whip on the horse's back, and the horse galloped forward at once, but she knew that she couldn't ask for Xia Xiaoxiao's life now.

Raising his head, Chu Muruo watched with a pair of narrow eyes as the thick fog gradually dissipated, and he could barely see the direction of the distant peaks, but that day was almost over, as long as Xia Xiaoxiao did not die at her hands, then, even if Xia Xiaoxiao was really dead, Beigong Pheasant's resentment would not be counted on her.

The wind whistled in her ears, Xia Xiaoxiao also looked up at the faint direction in the distance, her breathing sank, Chu Muruo took her in the direction of Nanming National Capital, Chu Boyuan.

It's that Xia Xiaoxiao doesn't want to think about it, but she also guessed about it, once a Helian Chi, and now another Chu Boyuan, it seems that they all want to get something from her.

Totem? Vessel? What else?

She no longer resists, those things, she is somewhat curious, and Xia Yingxi, she always feels that each of these people has something she doesn't know, and if she doesn't know it, she will have to be at the mercy of these people for a day, maybe, it's better to go and explore.

Nanming, the capital of the country.

All the way, I thought that Chu Mu wanted to take Xia Xiaoxiao all the way to the imperial city, but he didn't want to be about to arrive at the imperial city, Chu Muruo changed his direction and ran towards a mountain peak road, until the people and horses reached the top of the mountain peak before he ordered to stop.

Because of the fog these days, it is impossible to see much on a mountain peak like this, and a gust of wind rises and kicks up a cloud of dust that blinds people's eyes.

"Chu Muruo, what are you bringing me here for!" Xia Xiaoxiao was choked by the dust.

At this time, the place where they were was was on a mountain peak not far from the Nanming Imperial City, and then the gust of wind fell, blowing away the fog, and after waiting for a long time, Xia Xiaoxiao also saw Chu Muruo's eyes looking straight ahead, as if looking deeper through these dense fogs, Xia Xiaoxiao turned his eyes and looked at the soles of the peaks.

The fog dispersed, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the place below the mountain through those layers of mist, and after gradually seeing it clearly, she suddenly gasped, she never thought that the top of the mountain peak was actually a huge empty basin!

There seemed to be a lot of people inside, but I could only vaguely see the ruins in the basin collapse at this time, and there seemed to be something on it, but now there was only the emptiness of this place.

Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Chu Muruo, who was also standing quietly on the side, and wanted to ask something more, but he didn't want to, it seemed to be far away, as if there was a shallow chant and low singing, and it seemed to be the sound of chanting Buddha from nowhere.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't understand a word of what he was reading, but every word of the voice seemed to fall straight to the deepest part of his heart through the eardrums, splashing a little ripple in the bottom of people's hearts, making people feel a little in a trance.

"What are you still doing?"

Just as he was in a trance, Chu Muruo suddenly reprimanded the person behind Xia Xiaoxiao, and when Xia Xiaoxiao came back to his senses, Chu Muruo was already walking far ahead.

Fang Cai was too far away, and the dense fog above the mountain peak was already thick, so she couldn't see things in the distance clearly, but when Xia Xiaoxiao was escorted step by step towards the huge empty basin, she finally saw what she vaguely saw little by little.

No, to be precise, it's not things, but people, a lot of people, dressed in Taoist clothes, and there is even a bright yellow figure in it.

Xia Xiaoxiao's heart sank suddenly.

Chu Muruo walked behind the bright yellow figure, Chu Muruo, who had always been arrogant and uninhibited in front of Xia Xiaoxiao, finally showed a little princess appearance, and then bent his knees, "Father, my daughter brought someone to you." ”

When Chu Boyuan heard the movement, he also turned around slowly, and smiled kindly, his gray beard and wrinkles on his face, if it weren't for the yellow robe being too conspicuous, it would really be no different from those ordinary old people.

It's just that the majesty in his bones can't be hidden, and he is the one who is on the throne.

Chu Boyuan was saying a few more words to Chu Muruo, and then his gaze crossed over the figures in Taoist robes and fell straight on Xia Xiaoxiao.

With just one glance, Xia Xiaoxiao felt that the cold hairs all over her body stood up.

is different from Helian Chi at the beginning, in Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes, Helian Chi is a madman, the fanaticism in Helian Chi's eyes when he first saw her was undisguised, and even, Helian Chi didn't want to look at a person's eyes when he looked at her.

But at this time, Chu Boyuan, Xia Xiaoxiao felt that being stared at by him like that, it was more like a fierce beast that had been hidden for a long time, but this fierce beast seemed to know how to hide too well, and even a wolf in sheep's clothing, under the peaceful face, it was enough to make people tremble.

But at that glance, Xia Xiaoxiao's tied hands trembled inadvertently behind her, did she want her life?

Then Xia Xiaoxiao forced himself not to look at the man and turned his gaze, but at this glance, Xia Xiaoxiao's heart was even colder.

There are not many people, except for Chu Boyuan, who is dressed in imperial clothes, and the few eunuchs and maids behind him, the rest are like people in the Taoist temple, and then at a glance, it is Xia Xiaoxiao who fell on the long table behind Chu Boyuan, which is full of sacrificial things.

"Your Majesty, there are still two hours before the auspicious time, and since the people have arrived, you can set off."

A long-looking person who had been standing beside Chu Boyuan from the beginning glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao not far away, and said in a low voice.

"Well, Ruo'er, let someone pack up and get ready to go."

Chu Boyuan retracted his gaze, and a doting soft smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Yes, my daughter will go." Chu Muruo smiled, turned around and was about to leave, but it was only two steps, paused, then turned around again, looked at Chu Boyuan, and then showed a smile before he retracted again, "But, father, what you promised your daughter, your daughter has everything in mind." ”

Chu Boyuan looked helplessly at his daughter, who grew up in the palm of his hand, and scolded angrily, "Father is really not as important as your master in your eyes now?" ”

Chu Muruo laughed out loud with satisfaction, thanked his father, and then turned around and ran in the direction of Xia Xiaoxiao.

Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Muruo, who was still smiling in front of Chu Boyuan one moment ago, and came to her with a calm face the next moment, only to see her move with her hand, and she didn't even sweep her gaze to her, "Bring someone to me." ”

As soon as the person behind her pushed, Xia Xiaoxiao stumbled and was taken in the other direction, following Chu Muruo, she had a lot of things she wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask anything, not to mention that she would definitely not tell her if she asked Chu Muruo.

From south to north, this huge basin is surrounded by towering peaks, which almost enclose this place, and is covered with gravel all around, if a heavy rain falls, the water in it cannot flow out, but strangely, there was a heavy rain a few days ago, but there is no trace of rain in this place.

Another gust of wind blew, and the dust in the ruins was raised again, and the unpleasant smell hit the tip of her nose, until she reached the center of this basin, and she hadn't seen much movement, Chu Muruo's eyes fell straight on her.

Chu Boyuan was doing something in front of the altar with the long-looking person, and gradually walked to the other side as he took steps.

It was the mountain wall, and then Xia Xiaoxiao saw Chu Boyuan as if he was gently touching something on that mountain wall.

However, before Xia Xiaoxiao could see what was happening behind her, she felt that the ground shook, followed by the sound of an earthquake shaking the mountain, which made people's eardrums hurt, she hurriedly grabbed the person next to her with both hands to stabilize her figure, and yelled at Chu Muruo, "Chu Muruo, what are you doing!" ”

"Stop talking nonsense and wait quietly!"

Chu Muruo glared at her, then stared at the ground, the hands hanging by her side couldn't help clenching, and cold sweat slipped down her forehead, revealing her nervousness at this time, even she had never been to this place.

With the sound in his ears getting louder and louder, a trance, as if the mountains were also shaken by the illusion, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the dust and fog that filled the sky, as if he heard the voice of low chanting again, as far as the eye could see, it was no longer Chu Boyuan's figure, but the Taoist priest-like person not far from him, and he seemed to be muttering something in a low voice.

Suddenly, her head began to ache again.

With a flash of inspiration in her mind, she looked at the ground under her feet, "Imperial Mausoleum ......"

"Boom ......"

As soon as Xia Xiaoxiao's voice fell, in the open space at the foot of her in front of her, a thin silk crack opened, and then as the voice gradually became louder, the thin crack gradually widened, and finally a staircase went down on the ground!

Suddenly, the chanting that resounded in his ears stopped, Xia Xiaoxiao came back to his senses, and looked straight at the tunnel leading to the underground under his feet, and an unbelievable thought rose from the soles of his feet to the door of his head.

Yes, the Imperial Tomb, she had heard Beigong Yu mention that the hundred-year-old Imperial Tomb of the Nanming Kingdom suddenly collapsed without any warning not long ago, and because of this matter, it also affected the alliance between the Nanming Kingdom and the Chaoyang Kingdom.

In addition to Xia Xiaoxiao's indescribable shock, the disbelief on Chu Muruo's face could not be hidden, the century-old imperial mausoleum of the Nanming Kingdom buried the people who sat on the throne of the Nanming Kingdom for generations, and only the people surnamed Chu in the Nanming Kingdom knew the way to open the mausoleum, even in their generation, only her father and emperor could open it.

But the shock is the shock, from the moment the tomb door leading to the ground opened, Xia Xiaoxiao had an ominous premonition in her heart, as if there had been a voice in her heart reminding her not to go.

"Let go of me!"

Xia Xiaoxiao, who had become almost quiet since she arrived here, suddenly became angry, and even Chu Muruo on the side was taken aback, Chu Boyuan had already come to her, "If you want to live, just follow obediently, I don't want to spend too much time on irrelevant people." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao quieted down again all of a sudden, and looked at Chu Boyuan from the distance, only to feel that under the seemingly kind old face was the same fox appearance as Yun Ji, she snorted, "Aren't you just the same as Helian Chi, don't think I don't know, I won't die if I fall into your hands?" ”

Chu Boyuan smiled, "You are interested." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't spit out in his chest, the Taoist priest took a deep look at Xia Xiaoxiao on the side, and then walked over and whispered in Chu Boyuan's ear, "Your Majesty, it's getting late soon." ”

Chu Boyuan's eyes shone slightly, and he was about to make a sound, but unexpectedly, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to come from far and near in the distance.

A eunuch hurriedly ran over from the place above the basin and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Beigong Pheasant is coming here with soldiers and horses!" ”

"At this time, I came here with my soldiers and horses, and I can't rebel!"

Chu Boyuan's face changed, and Chu Muruo also panicked, shouldn't he be entangled by Beigong Yu at this time and couldn't get out?

Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked, Beigong Pheasant came over here at this time, what about Beigong Yu?

Before Xia Xiaoxiao could think about it, he was suddenly pushed forward by a strong force behind him, Chu Muruo, Chu Boyuan and the Taoist priest also followed closely, and when he got off the stairs, he saw Chu Boyuan moving very quickly to touch something on the wall of the two roads, and then put a green jade key in a key trough-shaped place, and the tomb door that had just opened above his head made a vibrating sound, and it slowly closed!

When Xia Xiaoxiao turned around again, she saw that at the peak above the basin, the figure of Beigong Pheasant in white gradually appeared in the field of vision, and then slowly, as the tomb door closed, the last trace of the afterimage was also cut off, and she didn't even have time to hear the last word he shouted on it.

Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to struggle again, but her mind suddenly became dizzy, and if someone hadn't caught her behind her, she would have almost collapsed.

Chu Boyuan and Chu Muruo only glanced in the direction where the tomb door was closed, Chu Boyuan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and went down the stairs to the deepest part.

Chu Muruo breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his gaze to Xia Xiaoxiao, "Royal Mausoleum, if there is no emperor of my father, no one will want to come in, and you don't have the luxury of expecting Beigong Pheasant to rush in to save you." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao took a slow breath, and the unpleasant smell that spread from the deepest part of the mausoleum finally stimulated her thoughts back a little, "Your royal mausoleum, what are you bringing me in?" ”

"Father's reason for doing this, it is not your turn to question."

As he spoke, the man also flicked his sleeves and followed the person in front of him.

Crossing the long staircase, all the way down, although there were seven or eight people together, but still could not avoid the gloomy atmosphere that diffused from the surroundings, the tomb door above was closed, there was darkness below, the mausoleum has always been forbidden fire, the guard who walked in the front took out a few fist-sized night pearls from his arms in front, illuminating the originally dark mausoleum for a few points.

The imperial mausoleum collapsed, now only this underground palace remains, the stone mausoleum wall, the wall is carved with all kinds of graphic patterns, as if it has been spreading to the endless, even the ground that is stepped on under the feet is also like a white stone jade step carefully chiseled, it has not reached the depths, and it can not help but see that the mausoleum of the Nanming Kingdom that has buried the royal tombs in the past dynasties is a work of ghostly work.

But, no matter what, it is a place where the dead are buried, Xia Xiaoxiao can only be pushed and pushed forward by the guards behind him all the way, and those night pearls are lit up, which adds a trace of yin to this cold underground palace.

Xia Xiaoxiao only felt uncomfortable staying in such a place, for fear that something that shouldn't have climbed on her back in the next moment, and her nerves were tense to the extreme.

There were no words all the way, only the repeated footsteps echoed in this underground palace road, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help it, and hurriedly took two steps forward to catch up with Chu Muruo, "Anyway, I ended up in your hands, and I don't have a good end, if you want to die, at least you will let me die blindly, what are you bringing me here for?" ”

Chu Muruo glanced at her, and only lightly spit out two words, "Deal." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao's long eyebrows twisted deeply, and it was another transaction.

I don't know how long the time has passed, and I don't know how far I have walked, until the guard in front of me took the night pearl and looked forward, a jade door appeared at the end of the road, and the light of the night pearl shone on the huge jade door, and the looming patterns on it could be faintly seen, and then the green light seemed to pass through the jade door, and the contents were revealed a little bit.

"Your Majesty, it's here."

The guards at the head of the group carefully investigated and made sure that there was no mechanism, and then turned back and said.

"Hmm."

Chu Boyuan sighed, and even the sound of his always calm breathing was a little hot, almost at the same time, the night pearl among those people was suddenly wrapped in a thick black flannel cloth by the guards, and then someone stepped forward and covered the eyes of Xia Xiaoxiao, Chu Muruo and others one by one with an opaque black cloth.

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think, he was in a place where there was no light, and he was blindfolded like this, since he brought people in, what were he afraid of being looked at?

With nothing to see, the slightest sound became clear in such an environment, the sound of a stone chiseled against the wall.

The door opened, and Xia Xiaoxiao was pushed forward by the people behind him, but before he stepped into the door, Xia Xiaoxiao paused suddenly, just because the chill from all directions penetrated the bone marrow, and the cold made people shiver!

"Someone brought it to you, what are you going to give me what I want?"

It was Chu Boyuan's voice.

Xia Xiaoxiao's rope with her hands tied had been untied at some point, and she tore off the black cloth on her eyes, but as far as the eye could see, except for the people they had just come here, where was there anyone else?

But just this look, I also saw the entire underground palace at a glance, from behind this jade door, a piece of ice, from the inside to the outside, May Day is not hewn by the ice stone in the cold winter, which is also the reason why Xia Xiaoxiao shivered with cold as soon as he stepped into the jade door.
