Mrs. Li is really a woman who is very good at reading people's eyes, and she can go from a captured female slave to the person closest to the center of power in the Jin Kingdom, not just because of her beautiful appearance.

Just by seeing that these people didn't immediately refuse, she knew that her offer had already moved them. In a desperate situation, I didn't see how flustered Mrs. Li was, but said slowly: "There is a secret passage in Wo City, which can lead directly to the Wangdu Temple, and the location of the entrance of the passage is only known to me at the moment." ”

Whether her words are true or false can be verified soon, and after thinking about it, Chu Ning agreed.

Madame Li really did not break her promise, first sent the order to go out, told the soldiers surrounding the palace to retreat, and then ordered someone to prepare carriages and horses, and took them to leave through the side gate of the palace, and even reminded them to be careful whether the Xun people followed.

After a few circles around the city, Mrs. Leigh pointed to a well in the backyard of a very ordinary-looking house and said that this was the entrance to the secret passage.

Chu Ning and Jing Yuan glanced at each other, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether Mrs. Li's words were true or false.

When he hesitated, he said coldly: "It shouldn't be wrong, I once saw a record that there is a secret passage from the mouth of the well in the Jin Kingdom, leading to the palace of the royal capital. In the past, when there was civil strife in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the army of King Qin sent by the Jin State once entered the royal capital along this secret passage and defeated the rebels unexpectedly. ”

The words of forgetting worries are naturally very convincing, but Jing Yuanyi still guarded against Mrs. Li's other tricks, and told Chu Ning that he would go down to see the situation first, sandwich Mrs. Li in the middle, and let Chu Ning stay at the end.

As soon as Jing Yuan jumped into the well, the agreed whistle was soon heard, confirming that there was nothing unusual underground. Forget Worry and He Zhen jumped down after him, and when only Mrs. Li and Chu Ning were left on the ground, Mrs. Li turned back to Chu Ning and smiled mysteriously: "The four of you went to the palace of the royal capital together, but it seems that one of them is not of the same mind as you." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Chu Ning to ask anything more, but also lifted the corner of her skirt and jumped down without hesitation, leaving only the ambiguous words, which made Chu Ning unpredictable.

Someone is not of the same mind as himself...... Chu Ning instinctively thought that Madame Li must already know something. Speaking in detail, she has a very limited understanding of Jing Yuanyi, He Zhen, and even forgetting worries. She's not one to probe into other people's secret pasts, as long as they don't dislike each other when they intersect. Mrs. Kerry's words made her involuntarily start to re-examine these three people.

Jing Yuanyi's urging voice came from the well, and he couldn't think of a clue for a while, Chu Ning shook his head and smiled, maybe this was just Mrs. Li's trick to make them doubt each other, so that she had a chance to escape.

Chu Ning stood at the mouth of the well and jumped down, but there was not a drop of water under the well, it was dry sand. When Chu Ning landed, it stirred up a cloud of dust.

He Zhen finally seized an opportunity to ridicule Chu Ning, so he naturally refused to let it go, while raising his hand to cover his mouth and nose, he said in a weird manner: "When you are about to land, don't you know how to slow down with the help of spells?" It's like you're going to commit suicide by throwing yourself into a well......"

Chu Ning had no intention of arguing with him, and raised his eyes to signal Mrs. Li to continue walking.

The road down the well is winding, but fortunately, there is only one direction in general, and I don't worry too much about getting lost. The five of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and the front suddenly became clear, and a tightly closed stone door appeared in front of them.

Chu Ning stepped forward and raised his hand to push it, but the stone gate did not move at all. There is no lock on the door, and there is nothing to push and pull.

Madame Li spoke at the right time: "This is not an ordinary stone gate, on the other side of the door, it is the temple of the capital of the Son of Heaven." Before entering the temple, you are to offer sacrifices, have you prepared sacrifices? ”

She didn't talk about it until this time, and she clearly had a bit of deliberate thoughts, took out the items that were not sacrificed, and walked in in vain.

Jing Yuan said as if he had been prepared: "The sacrifice has naturally been prepared a long time ago, but I heard that the sacrifice also depends on the time, if the time is not right, no matter how good the sacrifice is, it will be wasted." I reckon that it should be night again outside, and the fog is heavy at night, so it is not a good time to sacrifice, so it is better for us to rest first and wait until tomorrow morning. ”

Mrs. Li did not argue, and when she saw that he wanted to rest, she first found a sheltered place from the wind, sat on the ground, leaned her head against the wall, and closed her eyes.

He Zhen and Forget Worry also found a place to sit down, He Zhen has always been wild, she can sleep anywhere, Forget Worry is not very comfortable, but she is not the kind of delicate girl, pursed her lips, and there is no complaint.

Chu Ning was also about to take a break, when she was suddenly pulled over by Jing Yuan one by one, and said in her ear: "Actually, there are no sacrifices, I just heard what Mrs. Li said, and I knew that I had to use this method to open the door to the temple." ”

"What then?" When Chu Ning heard this, he was anxious, and if they couldn't open the door, they couldn't enter the temple, even if they waited until dawn, it would be in vain.

Jing Yuanyi pressed her raised head: "Be quiet, don't make a noise, now only me and you know the actual situation." Mrs. Li is mostly on the sidelines, we can get in or not, she has her own way to deal with it. ”

He glanced in the direction of He Zhen, and as soon as He Zhen touched the ground, he was already sleeping on all fours: "Actually, there is no fixed number of sacrifices, as long as they are valuable enough or sincere enough, it is fine." You should already know that Hezhen is the leader of the Tianma clan, even if he is half a king, and he is the princess of Dongqi, and he is also a royal family, taking the life of either of them as a sacrifice, and the current problem will be solved, depending on whether you are willing or not. ”

Chu Ning didn't expect Jing Yuan to come up with such a method, she subconsciously thought of what Mrs. Li said at the wellhead, if the person in Mrs. Li's mouth happened to be one of Hezhen or Forget Worries, and it would be used to sacrifice just one stone, and even this problem would be solved.

Jing Yuan looked at her expression and knew that she was still hesitant, so he said again: "If you ask me, my suggestion is to use Hezhen as a sacrifice, I am worried that if I forget my worries and die, if Hezhen turns his face and gets angry, you and I may not be able to restrain him together." ”

Chu Ning's mind was in turmoil, and he didn't expect that just a day later, the four of them would face this situation.

She raised her eyes to look at Jing Yuanyi, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Yuanyi, what do you want to enter the Wangdu Shrine for?" ”

Jing Yuanyi sighed helplessly: "As long as the Jiuding is repaired and everything that was lost and disordered is put back in place, the Xuanniao clan can still be protected by the Great Zhou royal family, and the fate of being displaced and enslaved can come to an end." ”

Chu Ning lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said calmly: "So the purpose of you and He Zhen is actually contradictory, right?" You want the royal family to maintain its power and protect your people, but he wants to continue to disrupt everything in the temple, preferably so that the Pegasi can be completely free from anyone's control. ”

She suddenly understood that Madame Li didn't know anything inside, she just had a pair of keen eyes that saw the respective missions of the two men. Her ambiguous words were actually gambling, since the two of them had opposite purposes, no matter what Chu Ning thought, there would always be one of them who would obstruct Chu Ning's actions after entering the temple.

"Yes, but what I have to do is right, the disrupted order must be restored after all." Jing Yuan is also straightforward and no longer secretive. He wandered from Xuanniao's Tongtianmu to Eastern Qi, and then came all the way to the Jin Kingdom, in fact, he had only one purpose from beginning to end, which was to reverse the tragic fate of his clansmen.

"There's nothing right or wrong," Chu Ning stubbornly shook his head, "You disagree because you have different starting points, and if you're a Pegasus, you'll naturally want these restraints to be completely destroyed." ”

She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, before entering the well, Madame Li once told me that some of the four of us have different goals. I've doubted each and every one of you, but I can't think of any conclusions. Now it dawned on me that sometimes reason prevails too much and may not lead to the right conclusions. I'm not going to sacrifice any of you, we're going to think of something else. ”

Jing Yuanyi's face became more and more pale, as if it would become transparent at any time: "Why don't we make a bet too, if He Zhen doesn't come to attack me and you tonight, I will do as you say, and think of another way." But if he does something to us tonight, I will not show mercy, and I will fight it with him, and the one who loses will be a sacrifice to the temple. ”

Between Xuanniao and Tianma, although they are both subjects of the Great Zhou royal family, they have been entangled in grievances for generations, and it seems that they are finally going to end it at the entrance of the temple.
