Chapter 108: Implication

Since the Xiongnu gate was blocked, Liu Ye and others have faced many dangers, although they have escaped the search of the officers and soldiers, but in the thousands of charms, because of the southern saint disguised as the peony fairy offended the local snake Cooper, just when they were about to escape, a pair of officers and soldiers came back to search and arrest.

Nan Shengnu blamed herself repeatedly: "It's me who is not good, I just want to avoid that Kuber master, and as a result, I will affect the princess." ”

Liu Ye shook his head and comforted: "It's not your fault, I won't watch you being despised by that kind of person, even if you don't take the initiative to ask me for help, I will stand up for you." ”

"Princess......" Nan Sheng's voice choked with emotion, "It's a pity that I can't go out with them to kill now, otherwise I will cover you to leave this place no matter what." ”

The medicine gourd heard her voice, glanced at the old man behind the Southern Saintess, and asked, "Is it for him?" Who are you, this old man? Do you want to save him in every possible way? But you said the Sect Master told you to do this! Could it be that he has a relationship with the sect leader? ”

Nan Shengnu looked at Liu Ye in embarrassment, pursed her lips and said nothing, although everyone felt that there was a problem in their hearts, but it was not convenient to ask immediately, the Hun officers and soldiers were outside the courtyard, and they would soon break into the door, now is not a good time to get to the bottom of it, it is better to wait until you escape first.

"It's better to do this, a few of us can cover them to go first, and agree on a place to meet, if they don't come to gather after a while, they don't have to wait for the person who falls."

Chang Hui was ready to fight with the Hun officers and soldiers, "I have long hated to teach these rabbit cubs a lesson with my own hands, but everyone can't escape, so it's better to give it a go!" Who wants to go out with me! ”

"I'll go!" Shizhong didn't have time to think about it, so he joined Chang Hui's side.

"And me!" Nan Shengnu pushed the old man behind her towards the medicine gourd, "Senior, in case I don't come to gather, please bring this old man to the poisonous scorpion, he naturally knows what is going on." ”

Yao Hulu nodded: "Okay, I know, you go, but you all have to come back, don't fall in love, if anyone who succeeds in heroes doesn't come back, I can say ugly things in front, no one will collect your corpses, just be a lonely ghost!" ”

Shizhong and Chang Hui, the Southern Holy Maiden was about to open the door to fight with the Hun officers and soldiers, when she suddenly heard someone behind her calling "benefactor".

When Shizhong looked back, it turned out to be the charming old bustard Sang Luola, who was supported by a little girl, staggered towards them with the pain in her waist, and kept waving at them.

"Benefactor, don't go to death, it's not worth it, come, come with me, I'll take you away......"

Qing Ling looked at her suspiciously: "Are you willing to go against the officers and soldiers for us?" You don't ask who we are. ”

Nan Shengnu also said: "I'm not a peony fairy at all, and now, even if I don't say it, you can see it all." Your Qinglou lives by looking at the faces of the officers and soldiers on weekdays, will you offend the officers and soldiers for the sake of us people of unknown origin? Or, do you want to use us for credit? ”

When Sang Luola heard their questioning, she was neither angry nor annoyed, but looked at Shizhong persistently: "I'm not for anything else, just to repay the benefactor's affection, no matter who you are, as long as you are a friend of the benefactor, I will help." Don't say it, let's go quickly, I have a tunnel here, and you can leave the capital safely by walking through the tunnel. ”

Liu Ye looked at Shizhong: "Master Shi, who is she?" ”

"The owner of this Qinglou was originally Wei Lu, and she received the favor of the master's family, and she saw Wei Lu's Jiaolong jade pendant." The division told the truth.

Liu Ye suddenly realized, it turned out that Sang Luola believed that they were Wei Lu's friends and was willing to lend a hand, if she knew that Wei Lu died to save her, I am afraid she would hate her to the core! She wanted to be honest with Sanlora, but she wasn't the only one threatened right now.

"Let's go, she won't lie to us." Liu Ye took the lead and walked with Sang Luola, and the others didn't want to ask much, and the group walked to the inconspicuous utility room in the corner, and Sang Luola pushed open the door, and layers of dust came to their faces.

Sang Luola waved her sleeves to disperse the dust, and motioned to the little girl next to her to push away the huge water tank in the middle, the little girl pushed a few times and did not move, Chang Hui stepped forward and grabbed the water tank with both hands and hugged it.

"It seems that you are really not ordinary people, but the friends made by my little master have never been ordinary people." Sang Lola confirmed in her heart that they had a friendship with Wei Lu, and she did not regret exposing this secret escape path in order to save them.

Falling to her knees, Sanlora took a key from her bosom, picked up the copper lock that locked the floor in one hand, and pointed it at the keyhole with the other.

"Bang bang, bang bang...... "The Hun officers and soldiers slapped the courtyard door hard, "Open the door, open the door quickly, if you don't open the door, we will crash open the ......"

The little girl next to Sang Rolla was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and Sang Rolla tried her best to stay calm and carefully try to open the copper lock.

"Knock me out!" The officers and soldiers couldn't wait for someone to answer the door, and they slammed on the courtyard gate again and again.

Everyone frequently looked back at the direction of the courtyard gate, and Sang Luola couldn't open the copper lock for a long time, and she was also anxious: "It doesn't matter, it will definitely be opened, this lock hasn't been touched for too long, it won't be very bright, hey, okay......"

Hearing a click, the copper lock was opened, and Sang Luola hurriedly lifted the plank, carrying the oil lamp and going down first. The division immediately helped her up, took the oil lamp in her hand, and said, "Don't bother Sister Sang, you have to deal with those officers and soldiers, leave the matter here to us!" ”

"That's fine, if it arouses their suspicions, I'm afraid even this secret passage will not be safe." Sang Luola stood up with her back on her back, and held on to the wooden plank to signal everyone to go in first and hide, "There is only one direction in the secret passage, you can leave the capital by walking all the way, the exit is the mountain forest on the outskirts, connected to a cave, just pay attention to whether there are any wild beasts when you go out." ”

"Okay, thank you Sister Sang for saving me." Shizhong sincerely thanked her for her assistance, and Sang Luola shook her head with a smile, "You don't need to thank me, I just fulfill my wish for the little master, go all the way, and see you again in the future!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, let's go!" Chang Hui jumped into the secret passage, testing the approximate depth, feeling that the air was not too suffocating, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Come on, just jump, I'll go on!" ”

Everyone jumped into the secret passage one after another, Shi Zhong and Liu Ye said goodbye to Sang Luola, who saw that the courtyard door was about to be knocked open, and hurriedly pushed them away: "Okay, I know, there will be a chance to talk about it another day, you go quickly, it's too late to be late." ”

"Sister Sang, I will repay you in the future." Liu Ye left this sentence and jumped into the secret passage with a heavy heart.

Sanlora closed the floor, locked it again, and couldn't move the water tank for a while, so she found some discarded wooden boxes and miscellaneous items to pile on it, and only after doing this did she run to the courtyard gate and personally open the door to greet the officers and soldiers.

The people who had not yet had time to go far were a little worried about Sanlora's situation, and looked out along the gap in the plank, and the Southern Holy Maiden said worriedly: "If we believe the wrong person, we will be arrested." ”

"That's true, but if I'm not mistaken, this is our only way out." Qing Ling also said.

Sang Luola opened the courtyard gate and was knocked to the ground by the rampaging officers and soldiers, and the leading officers and soldiers pointed at her and scolded: "Why did you come to answer the door so late, did you take the money of those thieves and let them all go!" ”

Cooper, who was mixed in with the officers and soldiers, said triumphantly: "Sang Luola, don't you want to reply soon?" ”

"Master Cooper......" Sang Luola slowly got up under the support of the frightened little girl, "Just now you pushed me, this waist can't be straightened, please come to the doctor to apply medicine to rest, heard that the officials are coming, hurriedly changed clothes and got up, but this waist is really not strong, so it is delayed until now to answer the door." ”

The leading officer and soldier looked at Cooper: "Is it a good thing you did?" ”

Kuber's face was slightly red: "I just pushed her casually, she accidentally bumped into it, what does it have to do with me!" ”

"Hmph, believe you for the time being, if you dare to let the thief go, I will take you back to the barracks for questioning." The Hun officers and soldiers said viciously.

"Oh, sir, the guests who stayed overnight are resting upstairs, and those who didn't stay overnight have already left with Master Kuber, where do you let me find it!" Sang Luola wiped her tears aggrievedly, "As soon as you left, Master Kuber was jealous of the guests for the peony fairy, and as a result, many guests left, and I suffered a heavy loss this night!" ”

"What do you mean by that? Are the peony fairies and the little white face gone? I just look at them suspiciously, how can you let them go? Cooper yelled in exasperation.

"Master Cooper, how many times have I said it, the peony fairy is not our girl here at all, whether people leave or not after the performance, how can I have the power to control it! As for whether the guests leave or stay, it is even more unbearable for me! Mullora approached the leading officer and soldier who had a conflict with Cooper, "If those guests really have a problem, why didn't the officials ask carefully when they came to search just now?" But wait for everyone to leave before they come back for interrogation? ”

The leading officers and soldiers suddenly became angry and glared at Cooper: "It's not because of this Master Cooper!" If he hadn't stopped him, a suspicious figure wouldn't have tried to escape from under our noses. ”

"If Master Cooper stopped him, why did he run to complain again? Officials, you have to be the master of the slave family, we have never had any prisoners here, Master Kuber went to complain, all for the peony fairy, the peony fairy refused to give in, and took a fancy to the handsome son, Master Kuber felt that he couldn't hang his face, and made a lot of noise and disputes, and as a result, the guests broke up unhappily, and the peony fairy and the son left at that time. ”

Cooper's old face became more and more uncomfortable, and Sang Lola cried bitterly: "It's not easy for me to run this file as a woman, and I have to be interrogated as a prisoner, whether it's our fault or not, this basin will be buckled on our heads." On the pretext of arresting fugitives, it's actually all for a fairy, and if you don't get people, you will hate me......"

The leading officers and soldiers were humiliated by Cooper because of the peony fairy earlier, and now they heard Sanglola's cry, knowing that they were being used by Cooper, they turned around and scolded Cooper: "It turned out that it was to fight for women to lie about the military situation, this time I see that you can't eat and walk around, come here, escort back to the barracks for interrogation, if he can't tell the whereabouts of the fugitive, he will tell the general to deal with it!" ”

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers under his command escorted Cooper away, and Cooper knew that he was afraid, crying and pleading, "The official spares his life, spares his life, where can my old bones be able to withstand the toss in prison, I know it's wrong, let me go this time, I'll give you money, you can give you as much as you want......"

The leading officers and soldiers glanced at him with disdain: "I think that if I have money, I can be powerful, but this time I don't spare him, let him die in prison!" ”

"Official, official......" Sang Luola reminded pitifully and kindly, "that Master Kuber has a very rich family, and he has always had dealings with the ministers in the court, you can't get along with him today, and I'm afraid I won't let you go when he comes out." Although Master Kuber lied about the military situation out of grudge and wanted to punish the slave family, but the slave family was originally a cheap life, and it doesn't matter whether you live or die, but you are an official with a bright future, if you delay the future because of this trumped-up crime, the slave family is really to blame! ”

"Sister Sang, get up and speak!" The leading officers and soldiers helped Sang Luola up, "Don't worry, this matter will not implicate Qianjiao, nor will it affect me, even if he has the support of the ministers in the court, don't forget that I also have the backing of the general, he jokes about such an important military situation, see which minister dares to come forward to protect him!" It's just out of duty, I still have to check it out of you, lest the general ask me in the future and blame me for dereliction of duty! ”

"It should be, it should be, sir, please inside!" Sang Luola respectfully led the officers and soldiers upstairs to search and interrogate, but they couldn't ask anything, and the officers and soldiers took their leave after their routine.

Seeing all this, the Southern Holy Maiden finally let go of her heart and sighed lightly: "It is said that the women on the Fengyue Field are the most untrustworthy, but in fact, they are not the most affectionate and righteous people!" ”

"I don't know who said this is a trap!" Qing Ling said with a smile, holding Nan Shengnu's arm, "I'm joking with you, don't be angry!" ”

"What's the matter, it's all at this time, and I don't have the energy to be angry." While Nan Shengnu breathed a sigh of relief, she began to worry about another thing, she was always embarrassed to face Liu Ye, Liu Ye also felt it, but she didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's go quickly, as long as we get out of here as soon as possible, Sister Sang will be truly safe." The division held an oil lamp high and led the way in front, although this secret passage was narrow, it was also relatively ventilated, so that no one had been here for a long time, and it produced toxic gases.

"I think Wei Lu has studied the secret passage, when Ling'er and I fell into his trap by mistake, we were completely embarrassed by his secret passage, and we couldn't escape no matter what." There was a lot of emotion in the division.

"But isn't it, it's because of that incident that I have a deep affection for Master Shi, who told you to be so loyal and conscientious, so that I can easily fall in love with you, a good man." Qingling praised sweetly.

"Oops, I'm getting goosebumps all over my body, your husband and wife have been married for so long, and you are embarrassed to say these meaty words, I feel blushing." The medicine gourd said funny.

"Grandfather, your blush is not because I said meaty things, but because you are intimate with that old woman!" Not to be outdone, Qing Ling replied.

"Hu, nonsense......" Yao Hulu stammered and quibbled, "How can I be intimate with others, is it that woman who is forced to lean on me, I don't bother to deal with her at all, I don't have any interest in women." ”

The medicine gourd and Qingling were arguing with each other, but it also made the atmosphere relaxed, and the old man who had been silently following the Southern Holy Maiden laughed: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that your ancestors and grandchildren had a very good relationship!" ”

Yao Hulu also laughed: "Why, you also have a granddaughter who can be so angry?" ”

"Hehe, I wish I could have a granddaughter, my daughter just conceived a child, and she hasn't given birth yet, she's also as sharp as your granddaughter, and now she is more sensible when she gets married and has children." When the old man mentioned his daughter, his tone was full of love.

"Oh, your daughter is so blessed, but how did you get caught here? What did you do? "Yao Hulu wants to know what he has to do with the Southern Holy Maiden.

"It's only to blame that I'm a poor man with no money and no power, this time the court lost the battle, and ordered conscription, the young ones all entered the barracks as soldiers, and the older ones were kept as coolies. Alas, my daughter feels sorry for me, and begged people everywhere to help me out, I really get older and more useless, and I want my daughter to worry about me, it doesn't matter if I die outside, I'm afraid that my daughter will have fetal gas, if their mother and son have a case, what face do I have to see my son-in-law. The old man couldn't help crying as he spoke, "My son-in-law treats my daughter very well, they finally have a child now, I don't want this child to have a mistake!" ”

"Your daughter should be filial to you, a dignified father-in-law, how can there be any reason to be afraid of your son-in-law." The medicine gourd said disapprovingly.

"You don't know, my son-in-law ......"

"Enough, don't say any more." The Southern Saintess interrupted him coldly, and the old man choked up, wiped away his tears, and stopped making a sound.

The people walked silently for a long time, until they saw the cave that Sanlora had told them about. The cave is located halfway up the mountain, and you can see the whole city from the hillside.

"Finally got out of that damn place." The medicine gourd stretched his limbs, yawned, looked up at the sky, and said to himself, "I should be able to get to the place before dawn." ”

The Southern Holy Maiden took the old man to say goodbye to Liu Ye: "Princess, let's go first." ”

Qing Ling kept looking at Liu Ye, not knowing if she wanted to go with the Southern Saintess, after all, the Southern Saintess knew Tu Qitang's whereabouts.

"Let's go together!" The medicine gourd raised his chin in the direction of the northeast corner, "Aren't you going there too?" ”

The Southern Holy Maiden hurriedly stopped: "Senior, it's better for you to send the princess back to Wusun first!" ”

"I don't, I don't, I'm going to go with you and see what you're doing." The medicine gourd stubbornly walked down the mountain, not giving the Southern Holy Maiden a chance to explain.

Seeing that the medicine gourd had made up her mind, the Southern Holy Maiden looked at Liu Ye who lowered her head and pondered, and sighed helplessly, Qingling saw that she had something to hide, and asked: "What are you sighing for no reason, is there something to hide from us?" ”

"Then let's go, you'll understand when you get to the place."

The Southern Holy Maiden followed the medicine gourd down the mountain, and Qingling returned to Liu Ye and asked her what she meant: "Princess, where are we going?" ”

Liu Ye turned around to look for Shi Zhong's figure, Shi Zhong nodded at her, Liu Ye took a deep breath and said calmly: "Let's go together!" ”
