41 A secret passage that leads to the outside
When I got up in the morning, before Ling Dongwu went out to find Mu Zicheng, a gust of fragrant wind drifted into the house, and a bewitching and beautiful woman walked in.
Ling Dongwu recognized her as the woman lying on Yi Zhikuo's body a few days ago, glanced at her, and didn't speak.
"My name is Liji, come and take a look today!" Liki made herself into the chair, her eyes looking around. When she saw the pearl jade still on the ground, she couldn't help but show a look of envy, suddenly stood up, and took a few steps forward, "Such a good thing, how can it be on the ground!" β
Ling Dongwu looked at her and still didn't speak.
Liki realized her gaffe and smiled and sat down, "Hey, it doesn't matter, anyway, I'll be the mistress of this room right away!" β
"What do you mean?"
Li Ji chuckled in her heart, this little girl was still too young after all, and continued: "The Hanshui National Master has already calculated that I am the wife of the Great Khan, so the Great Khan will marry us when he comes back this time, of course I am the hostess here!" β
"Really!" Ling Dongwu was overjoyed, "Then I can leave!" β
"Leave! Hahaha, you're so naΓ―ve, there are only two ways for women to get here, either to be the plaything of those men, or to die! You've seen the terrain of the city, and they'll let you out alive! β
Ling Dongwu's face was frightened, and he asked with luck: "Then, have you heard from the Hanshui National Master that they are going to deal with me?" β
"In order to make the Great Khan die for you, there is only one way left for you, death!"
"They're going to kill me!"
"It's not easy to die, they have discussed, when the Great Khan comes back this time, he will let go and play with you for a few days, and when he gets tired of playing, he will throw you into the desert to feed the wolves!"
Liji's words coincided with what Yi Zhikuo said a few days ago, so Ling Dongwu couldn't believe it. She sat dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Li Ji's eyes involuntarily drifted to the jewelry on the ground, Ling Dongwu saw it, and hurriedly picked up a few and stuffed them into her hands, "Good sister, you have been in this city for a long time, can you show me the way and let me get out of here, these, and these, are all yours, and I will give them to you now!" β
"Hey, look at your young age, it's pitiful to die like this. Since you call me sister, I should save you. Liji held the jewelry in her arms, smiling like a flower, "The Great Khan once drank too much, and told me that there is a secret passage in our city, leading to the outside, I will take you there now, and you can escape through the secret passage!" β
"Really, great!" Ling Dongwu almost jumped up with joy, suddenly thought of Mu Zicheng, and hurriedly said, "Sister, I still have a friend, can you also let him run away with me!" β
"How can I do that, I will risk being beaten to death by a sweat to save you, and I dare to save your friend, saying that we have to hurry up, in case someone finds out, even you can't run!" Liji scares Ling Dongwu.
"Ahh Ling Dongwu replied sullenly, Mu Zicheng, it's not that I won't help you, it's that I can't help! It's too late!
Although Ling Dongwu was in a hurry to leave, he still packed two gourd water belts on his body, and in the desert, it was difficult to move an inch without water.
Seeing her taking water, Liji hurriedly stopped her, "You don't have to bring these, when you go out of the secret passage, you will go to the grassland, where there is everything." β
"No, I'm going to take it." Ling Dongwu stared at the gourd with wide eyes and protected the gourd in his arms.
Seeing Ling Dongwu's resolute attitude, Li Ji had no choice but to let her.
The soldiers guarding the door had already been transferred away by the Hanshui National Division, and Li Ji led Ling Dongwu smoothly to a big tree on the edge of the Green Lake, Li Ji pointed, "This is it!" β
The entrance to the secret passage was blocked with stone slabs, which were covered with leaves, and the two of them struggled to move the stone slabs away, and a yin wind blew up from the secret passage, and Ling Dongwu shivered.
"You go quickly, it's too late to be late, I heard that the Great Khan is coming back soon!" Liji urged Ling Dongwu, looking more nervous than she was.
Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, Ling Dongwu hesitated, "It's so dark here, it needs to be illuminated, otherwise I won't dare to go in." β
"Hey, why are you in such trouble!" Liki turned around and strode to find her a fire breaker.
After a while, Li Ji came back with a fire fold and a few torches, and stuffed them into Ling Dongwu's hand, "You go quickly!" They're looking for you! β
Ling Dongwu was pushed and shoved into the tunnel by Liji, and before she could react, the stone slab behind her had been covered, in fact, she suspected from the beginning that Liji would not be so good to her, but her situation was already like this, how bad could it be!
Ling Dongwu clumsily lit the torch with a fire fold, and walked into the tunnel with a deep foot and a shallow foot, the tunnel is very wide, about four people can be touched, the soil on both sides has a slight dampness, the temperature is much lower than the outside, there are wisps of cool breeze blowing the side of the face from time to time, the more you go inside, the darker the light.
Walking alone in this winding dark tunnel, Ling Dongwu's heart was pounding, she was really a little scared, afraid that the unknown demons and monsters would suddenly jump out of somewhere.
I don't know how long I walked forward, but she was so tired that she couldn't walk anymore, so she stopped, drank some water, rested for a while, and continued walking.
After walking and walking for a long time without encountering any accidents, Ling Dongwu's heart was more steady, but she still wanted to get out of this place where there was no light of day, only the road ahead here could not be retreated, and it was as easy to capture her as if she was catching a turtle in an urn. So, the sooner you go out, the better.
Slowly from the darkness of her fingers to the gray of the faint silhouette, the temperature also slowly warmed up, she knew that victory was in sight, her mood couldn't help but jump, almost trotting all the way to the exit.
There was still a stone slab at the exit, but fortunately she could move it, and with great difficulty, Ling Dongwu climbed up, looking at the scene in front of her dumbfounded.
The sky is connected to the earth, the earth is connected to the sky, and the eyes are full of slow yellow sand. Only the sun hung proudly in the sky, looking at her hotly, and she couldn't even distinguish between east and west, north and south.
Ling Dongwu knew that it was Liji who had deceived her, but she couldn't figure out why Liji wanted to hurt her. She was a little disappointed in her heart, but more than she was happy, although there was no place to look, it was better than living with those talented wolves and beasts who had no humanity.
Although she had never lived in the desert, she knew that walking in the sun was dangerous, so she looked around and found a small sand dune, and rested in the shadow of the dune for a long time.
The sun finally gradually set, and the hot sand under his feet also lowered the temperature little by little, and from a distance, the sand sea undulated like fish scales, which was magnificent, but there was no shadow of the slightest creature, not even the strongest vitality of the groin.
Ling Dongwu drank some water and began to walk out, she only knew that the place where the sun set was the west, so she went against the east, hoping that she could be lucky to get out of this desert.
It was completely dark, Ling Dongwu began to be scared again, the torches were all used up in the tunnel, and now the sky and the earth were all black, she was alone, she was terrified to the extreme, and suddenly there was a howl of animals in the distance, she listened carefully, it was a wolf, it was a wolf howling!
