Lu Jingheng said and took out the dagger and put it on Xia Qian's neck, and said to the salivating Kuo Tianchen: "You go out, I'll come first!" ”

"Why did you come first?" Kuo Tianchen was furious.

"With her life in my hands, either I play first, or you play with corpses!"

Kuo Tianchen was so angry that his eyes were red and his face was green, and he hurried out of the secret room in desperation.

Closing the door, Lu Jingheng hurriedly searched for it in the secret room, from the wall to the corner.

Xia Qian reacted at this time, the other party was saving her.

After looking carefully for a while, he jumped into the air and struck at a stone wall above his head a few times.

Sure enough, another door opened, and the two escaped.

Outside the vault is a narrow stone path, surrounded by water.

The stalactites around are stacked on top of each other, and there is a torch at every other interval, and the cold air in the cave is accompanied by the flickering light of the fire, which is eeriely and scary.

"Lord Lu, there are more and more stone pillars in front of you, but the firelight is getting darker and darker, it shouldn't be an exit."

Lu Jingheng suddenly paused, and said with a hideous face: "Someone ordered me to take your life, I don't want you to be humiliated by others, but you can't disobey your order!" ”

"So, the master of the horse still wants to kill me!"

"It's better to die like this than to be defiled!" He swung his dagger and stabbed her violently.

The dagger turned in front of her, and before Xia Qian could react, she had already fallen into the water.

The water was so deep that she didn't know how to swim and quickly sank.

Suddenly, a large hand dragged her up and swam into the darkness.

Climbing ashore, Lu Jingheng looked at her anxiously: "Miss Xia, are you okay?" ”

Xia Qian's face was stunned, and anger quickly surged up: "Lu Jingheng, you brute!" ”

As she spoke, she pushed him violently, and Lu Jingheng originally put one hand on her back, and both of them fell into the deep pool on the other side of the stone road.

A faint light came into their field of vision, and Lu Jingheng paused, pulling her to swim over.

The innermost part was a cave made of stalactites, and when he went ashore, he lit the fire and found that there were several huge stone slabs on the top of the cave, and there were barrels of wax oil under the stone slabs.

Lighting the wax oil, he looked at Xia Qian with a serious face.

"Miss Xia, I was offended a lot just now. The queen ordered me to take your life, with the cooperation of Kuo Tianchen, there were government soldiers guarding there just now, I can't save you, I can only push you into the water first! ”

"So, the queen is helping her daughter get angry?"

Lu Jingheng explained affectionately: "That day, I pulled Huo Zun to the emperor for comment, but I didn't expect the king to come forward in person to ask the emperor to give you to Kuo Tianchen. If it weren't for Huo Zun's drunken disorder, with the power of the Heavenly King's Mansion, no matter how hard I tried, it would be useless! Today's events are really forced by the queen! ”

"Why is Huo Zun's peach blossom debt finally on my head? There is a debtor and a debtor, why don't you go to him? Anger rolled on her aggrieved face.

"Huo Zun is arrogant and uninhibited, I saw everything I did to you when I entered the palace that day, and I didn't talk to you just because I didn't want to anger him, lest he further embarrass you. If you feel wronged, I will find a way to help you escape from the Huo family! ”

Her eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "Are you really willing to help me?" ”

"The girl is talented and has a dusty temperament, which is really unforgettable. Don't worry, I'll help you! ”

Joy and gratitude made waves in her heart, "Humble gentleman, gentle as jade", if Lu Jingheng is not worthy of these eight words, there will be no one in this world.

By the light of the fire, the two looked overhead, and were surprised to find that the stone slab was engraved with dense text, and the luster on it was different from that of ordinary stone slabs.

Lu Jingheng stretched out his hand and touched the stone slab, and found that it was stained with a layer of wax oil.

"These slabs must have been buried in the ground a long time ago, because they were hard and protected by wax oil, so they were not dissolved." Lu Jingheng said seriously.

Xia Qian looked at the stone slab by the light of the fire, and found that it was full of Sanskrit, and he didn't even recognize a single symbol.

She turned her head to look behind her, and saw some light not far away, like an exit.

"Lord Lu, there's an exit there!"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he stared at the words: "These words are neatly written, and they are accompanied by maps, which should be a very important thing." According to legend, there is a shocking secret hidden in the underground of the Heavenly King's Mansion, which must be related to these stone slabs! ”

"Secret?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, but in the past few years, the King of Optimus has been digging three feet into the ground and looking for it!"

As he spoke, he took off his close-fitting white shirt, bit his fingers and began to transcribe the words.

Xia Qian watched him take off his clothes, frowned, and walked cautiously towards the light.

The light flickered on and off, and the cavern in front of her grew smaller and smaller. In the end, I had to crawl forward with my body bent.

"If this hole can lead to the outside of the palace, it may be a chance to escape!"

Feeling something hard underneath her, she reached out and touched it, and found a few bumpy bumps.

When she saw it, Xia Qian screamed violently.

"What's going on?" He glanced sideways at her.

She didn't dare to say anything, and retreated in horror along the mouth of the cave.

"What do you see?" He looked intently at the burning text and asked casually.

"Skeletons, lots of skeletons!"

Lu Jingheng glanced at the bright light, lowered his head, and continued to copy the words on the stone tablet.

Xia Qian looked at him in frustration, hesitated for a long time, and plucked up her courage again: "I think it's really an exit there!" ”

"So many people have died, it must not be a good mouth!"

She bit her thin lip lightly and asked him seriously, "Lord Lu, are you really willing to help me escape from the Huo family?" ”

"Of course, I will help you if I have the chance!" He copied the words as if he had found a treasure, and replied unhurriedly.

Although his reaction repeatedly disappointed her, she was bent on escaping and pinned her hopes on him.

"Lord Lu, I think now is a good opportunity! If you go out along this cave, you may be able to leave the palace. Huo Zun was injured, I should be able to escape from the Imperial City! ”

"Huh?" Lu Jingheng spoke, and there was no follow-up.

Xia Qian looked at the man in front of her blankly.

Last time, he vowed to marry her, but he married the princess and became the master of the horse.

This time, he just said that he wanted to help her leave the Huo family, but when he saw a mess of Sanskrit, he threw her out of the Nine Heavens Cloud.

"If you lose each other, you don't survive! Do you remember this sentence? Xia Qian bit her lip fiercely and asked unwillingly.

He finally turned his head sideways, looked at her seriously for a moment, and replied, "Remember! ”

After saying that, he continued to copy the words on the slate.

Is this man particularly sick?

Xia Qian gritted her teeth angrily.

Where is the other party's attitude helping her, it is clear that he is using her as a monkey!

After a long time, Lu Jingheng finally stood up, his eyes fell on Xia Qian's face and said, "Miss Xia, can you do me a favor?" ”

Xia Qian's face collapsed, and she was powerless to speak.

He looked at her for a while, and said solemnly: "Leaving Qinglong City is not as simple as you think, it is better to come over and help me first." The text on this is very important, can you help me copy some of it? ”

She wanted to escape, but she couldn't escape without the other party's help, and she had to rely on him to save her life.

She thought and thought, and finally walked towards him helplessly.

"This map is complicated, I will record it, and you will copy the words on these tablets onto my clothes!"

Xia Qian looked at those stone slabs and her heart was broken.

The dense Sanskrit text and dotted maps on it are even more complicated than the stars of summer.

Lu Jingheng slashed his arm with a dagger, collected the blood, and handed it to her along with the brocade that he had torn off his clothes.

Xia Qian sighed lightly and stared at the Sanskrit words again.

None of the symbols are recognized, and none of the symbols are easy to write, but fortunately, after looking at it for a while, she even memorized all the text and pictures in her mind.

There are so many Sanskrit words on the slate, I don't know when I can honestly copy them?

I was going to tell him about the words she had memorized, but with the character of the other party, she really didn't dare to ask for trouble.

Besides, if it is known that she is remembered in the mind, then she will become the meat of countless people's boards!

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to copy some casually and deal with him first.

As for this Optimus King, it was not a good thing in the first place, and the words on this stone tablet let her get it, which is better than letting him discover the scourge of the common people.

"Finished?" Lu Jingheng looked at her in surprise.

Xia Qian rubbed her arm, took a long breath and said, "Well, it's finally finished!" ”

"This place is very hidden, these things are hundreds of years old, and I have to destroy them before the prince finds out. The stakes are high, and you can't mention it to anyone when you go out! ”

After destroying those stone slabs, Lu Jingheng confessed to her affectionately again.

Had it not been for the plea she had just made to him, she would have been somewhat glad to hear these words, but now there were too many things mixed in.

In order to hide her whereabouts, Lu Jingheng took her around in the lava cave for more than half an hour before returning to the secret room just now.

"It's out!" Someone shouted not far away.

Raising her head, she saw a tall and straight figure, strange and familiar.

Suddenly, Huo Zun coughed violently, and a large mouthful of blood poured out of his mouth.

Immediately after, his tall, straight body collapsed in front of her.
