Chapter Twenty-Six: The Attack on the Palace
Her mind was still thinking about what had happened today. Originally, the first reaction of being scolded by Feng Jiu for being nosy was that he felt that he was being amorous, but his kindness was exchanged for Feng Jiu's scolding. But when the initial anger passed, a strong worry welled up in his heart, looking at Feng Jiu's appearance today, he thought that he would continue to take those medicines, but the medicine was obviously...
Gu Wanwan didn't know what was going on with her, she wasn't a kind-hearted person, and Feng Jiu didn't look like a good person, she should have let him fend for himself. But why was she still worried about that guy?
Unicorn fruit! Yes, it must be because of the unicorn fruit! Gu Wanwan told herself in her heart, in case something happened to Feng Jiu, how could she get the news of the Qilin Fruit to Yan Wushuang in exchange for her life experience?
Thinking that she had figured out the reason, Gu Wanwan closed her eyes and began to brew sleep, trying to ignore the lingering worry in her heart.
Just as she was about to fall asleep in a daze, a noisy voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Gu Wanwan opened her eyes, and when she listened carefully, she heard the sound of sword clashing, as well as faint screams.
The palace is under attack! As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, Gu Wanwan immediately got up and got out of bed, took a piece of clothes next to the bed, opened the door and rushed out. There was only one thought left in her mind now: the target of these people must be Feng Jiu!
Gu Wanwan quickly ran towards Feng Jiu's yard, there must be no accident, there must be no accident! She thought silently to herself as she ran, and almost fell to the ground several times.
When she arrived, she found the corpses of many people lying in the courtyard, including people from the courtyard and assassins dressed in black. Feng Jiu was sitting in a wheelchair and was escorted by a man in black, the man in black was obviously good at martial arts, and took the lives of several assassins in a few ups and downs, but he couldn't bear too many assassins, and he was also injured in several places.
"Feng Jiu!" Gu Wanwan shouted as she ran forward.
"What are you doing here?!" Feng Jiu turned around when he heard the voice and found that it was Gu Wanwan who ran over with a panicked face.
Gu Wanwan grabbed Feng Jiu's wheelchair, her voice trembling slightly, "I heard the voice, just... Now is not the time to say this, I'll take you first! As he spoke, he pushed Feng Jiu's wheelchair and turned around and fled quickly towards the courtyard.
Seeing this, the assassin behind him wanted to follow, but he was entangled by the man in black and couldn't get out for a while.
The wind in late autumn was wet and cold, but Gu Wanwan didn't care about these, she only ran forward desperately.
Gu Wanwan didn't know how long she had been running with Feng Jiu, and when she finally felt that there was no danger to stop, she found herself in a dilapidated courtyard.
Just when she felt that the room in front of her had a hint of inexplicable familiarity, Feng Jiu in a wheelchair suddenly spoke, with a trace of inexplicable emotion in her voice, "Why are you coming here today?" ”
Gu Wanwan took a few steps forward, turned to Shang Fengjiu's gaze, and her voice was full of indignation, "I said, why are you so ignorant?" I've saved you twice tonight! Not even a word of thanks, this is your attitude towards the savior? ”
Feng Jiu looked at the person in front of him, and for a while he didn't know how to describe the emotions in his heart, but his eyes were a little more gentle.
Gu Wanwan saw that Feng Jiu didn't speak, thinking that he was a little guilty, so he didn't care anymore.
The night in late autumn was already cold, Gu Wanwan went out in a hurry and only wore a thin single coat, and at this time, she was blown by the cold wind and suddenly shivered. Although the house in front of me is dilapidated, it can block the wind. Gu Wanwan thought about it and pushed Feng Jiu in.
With the moonlight shining in from the window, Gu Wanwan took a look around the room carefully, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt, she must have been to this room before.
Feng Jiu watched her keep moving around the room, roughly guessed what she was thinking, and opened her mouth to solve Gu Wanwan's doubts, "This is a secluded... The former residence of this king. ”
I see! Gu Wanwan suddenly realized that she had indeed come here before, and it was here that she met Yan Wushuang. It's just that it was late at night, and she only glanced inside the house a few times from the roof, no wonder she couldn't remember it for a while.
Gu Wanwan looked back at Feng Jiu, no wonder he was so familiar with this place. The original pride of the sky has now become like this, and now "revisiting the old place" must be quite complicated in my heart.
Feng Jiu looked at Gu Wanwan's somewhat worried gaze, pushed the wheelchair forward, and said calmly, "You don't have to think about it, this king won't be so easy to touch the scene." ”
With such an awkward personality, it's no wonder that the old emperor doesn't like him! Gu Wanwan slandered in her heart, glanced at the oil lamp on the table out of the corner of her eye, and reached out to get it with curiosity.
Who knew that this lamp, which looked light and fluttering, was very heavy, Gu Wanwan didn't pick it up at once, and couldn't help but sigh lowly.
Feng Jiu heard her voice and looked over, and saw that she was holding the lamp holder with both hands and trying to pick it up.
How could an ordinary lamp be so heavy? A few hints of discoloration flashed in Feng Jiu's eyes, pushed the wheelchair over, pressed Gu Wanwan's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Let me come." ”
Gu Wanwan let go of her hand when she heard this, only to see Feng Jiu looking at her weak and slender hand fluttering as if she didn't use any force, but she picked up the lamp as soon as she could.
Before she could sigh anything, the floor under her feet suddenly trembled slightly.
Gu Wanwan hurriedly stabilized her body, waited for this tremor to pass, and when she calmed down, the floor under the table actually sank, and she only saw a staircase leading to the bottomless underground.
Gu Wanwan turned his head to look at Feng Jiu, and suddenly found that the lamp in his hand had been lit at some point, and Feng Jiu's masked face looked even more gloomy under the candlelight.
"Let's go down." Feng Jiu said.
"This, what's down here?" Gu Wanwan couldn't react, she was too stimulated tonight, first the palace was attacked, and now she found such a mysterious underground passage in the old mansion of Youwang. She felt as if she was in her environment, and everything around her felt unreal.
Feng Jiu looked at the entrance in front of him fixedly, and the essence in his eyes flashed. It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! He had been looking in this house for so long, and it turned out that the key was actually on this ordinary oil lamp!
He spoke word by word, "Linglong Tower." ”
"Hey, you said this is the Linglong Tower, but I don't think it looks like a tower at all!"
As soon as they came down from the entrance, they saw a straight passageway, and the walls on either side were inlaid with a shining bead every few steps, illuminating the underground passageway.
They had been walking down the aisle for nearly a quarter of an hour, but they had found nothing. Gu Wanwan thought of the "Linglong Tower" that Feng Jiu said before, and couldn't help but ask.
Feng Jiu was still holding the lamp in his hand, and after listening to Gu Wanwan's words, he slowly spoke, "Linglong Tower, it is not a tower in itself. ”
"Not a tower? What is that? "It's not that the tower is also named Linglong Tower, what did the people who built this think in the first place?
"It's a prison cell." There was a hint of gloom in Feng Jiu's voice.
"Cell?!" Gu Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, she looked at the endless road ahead, and felt goosebumps all over her body.
"Yes, the Linglong Pagoda is one of the most mysterious cells in the Donglan Kingdom, and legend has it that many prisoners with the most heinous crimes are imprisoned, and those who are imprisoned in the Linglong Pagoda will never be allowed to come out again. However, no one has ever actually seen the Linglong Tower, and gradually some people say that there is no such place as the Linglong Tower. Unexpectedly, the legendary Linglong Pagoda was not a tower, but hidden underground, no wonder no one ever found it. ”
"Then how did you know that this was the legendary Linglong Tower?" Gu Wanwan continued to ask.
Feng Jiu turned his head and glanced at Gu Wanwan, the warning in his eyes was obvious, "What do you know so much?" ”
You can't ask! Gu Wanwan pursed her lips and didn't speak again.
"How long will it take us to get out!" After more than half an hour, Gu Wanwan finally couldn't help but speak.
"Soon," Feng Jiu said, "I'll be able to go out in a little while." ”
"For a while, for a while, you've said it many times for a while!" Gu Wanwan stopped and complained, "What kind of broken Linglong Tower is this, it is obviously said that it is a tower, but there is only such a passage that leads to nowhere, and you can't get to the end no matter how you go." Why don't we just rest here, take a nap, and wake up before we go? "She didn't have a rest tonight, and after all the twists and turns, she was already tired, and now she can fall asleep even if she is standing.
"No, keep walking." Feng Jiu frowned, I really don't know how to describe this woman, she can fall asleep in the Linglong Tower?!
"But how can you be a head if you go like this! Why don't we go back, we've been walking on the straight anyway, and we'll walk back for more than an hour at most to get to the place we came in. Gu Wanwan opened her mouth to suggest, she really couldn't stand it anymore, who knows if they won't be able to walk out tomorrow.
"I said keep walking." Feng Jiu didn't raise his head to deny her proposal.
Gu Wanwan was already anxious in her heart, but she was suddenly a little annoyed when Feng Jiu said this, "What are you going to go!" If you want to go yourself, I won't go! As she spoke, she slapped the wall beside her.
"Don't move!" Feng Jiu hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
It's a pity that he left it too late. As soon as his words fell, Gu Wanwan's hand fell on a bead on the wall.
Gu Wanwan was about to open her mouth to ask why she couldn't touch this bead, when suddenly the sky shook, and the ground under her feet suddenly tilted, and in a hurry, she only had time to grab Feng Jiu's hand, and her body slid down uncontrollably.
"Whoa--" Gu Wanwan felt as if she had fallen into a lake, and there was a faint light on the surface of the lake. She choked on a few mouthfuls of water, staggered to her feet after trying to steady.
Feng Jiu was sitting comfortably in the wheelchair beside her, except for the part of the wheelchair that was immersed in the water, his whole body was still clean, not even a drop of water was touched, and the mask was still intact on his face, as if the movement just now had not affected him at all.
