Chapter Forty-Seven: The Secret Passage of the Palace

"Frost Moon, where are you going?" shouted in the darkness in a cold voice.

When the two of them heard this voice, their hearts trembled suddenly, and they quickly stopped in shock.

The two of them raised their eyes and looked around, only to see that after the sound, countless torches instantly lit up from the surroundings, and the Praetorian Guard came quickly, surrounding themselves in the center like iron buckets, and countless iron arrows and crossbows were ready to fire.

In the center of the Praetorian Guard, the mighty Wang Yun Chongjin was dressed in a gorgeous crown, and slowly approached the two, his eyes were shining with fierce killing intent.

"Uncle Huang, are you going to kill Frost Moon?"

Princess Yue's heart was cold, and the black ruler in her sleeve instantly slid into her slender palm, and the faint white light lingered upward, forming a sharp cold light on the black ruler.

"If you don't come on this trip, I won't care about you. King Weiwu sighed and said in a deep voice, "You are the only princess of my royal family, not only the royal brother loves you, but I am the same, but ...... You shouldn't be wading into this troubled water, Frostmoon...... Even though you are the person I love in my heart, for the sake of Da Chu's future, Uncle Huang has to be ruthless once......"

A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Su Ye beside Princess Yue lightly, and continued: "This kid should have been handed over to the prime minister to deal with, but Uncle Huang is worried that Shuangyue will go alone, I'm afraid it will be too lonely, since he broke in by chance, then let him accompany you, and it is better to have a companion on the way." ”

After he finished speaking, his eyes froze, and his palm slashed down in the air, and the iron arrows in the hands of the Praetorian Guards were full of strings and arrows towards the two of them in an instant.

Sharp iron arrows tore through the void like raindrops.

Su Ye's long sword swept away, forming a sword shield to block the first wave of attacks, while the Moon Princess was full of vitality and turned into a layer of air shield in front of her, resisting the iron arrows shot in front of her.

"Uncle Huang, do you remember that when the palace was built, in order to prevent accidents in the future, the ancestors had craftsmen build secret passages under the palace in all directions?"

In the rain of arrows, the Moon Princess took a diagonal step, stepped on a huge square stone slab and said.

The mighty king was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she was mentioning this matter at this moment of life and death, nodded lightly, and responded: "Shuangyue is right, there is such a thing, but our royal family has never seen the secret passage drawings from beginning to end, and we don't know where the entrance and exit are. ”

"But I've seen it. Princess Yue said solemnly, "I came to Mingyang Palace, and every section of the road I walked was above the secret passage. ”

She bit her lip hard, and the vitality under her feet gathered violently, and the thick stone slab quickly shattered.

She backhanded Su Ye and yelled, "Go!"

Then, in the rolling rubble, the two of them fell from the stone slab to the endless darkness of the ground.

Shocked, the mighty king hurriedly led people to approach the deep hole where the stone slab was broken, and threw several torches downward, but he had long been unable to see the figures of Su Ye and Princess Yue.

"Think you can escape in this way?" he looked at a drop of bright red blood on the broken stone slab, snorted coldly, and ordered backwards, "Send a team of 100 people down to search, and immediately track the traces of the two, Princess Yue is injured, and she should not be able to escape far." ”

The Praetorian Guard commander behind him answered, counted the number of people, and quickly jumped down.

Su Ye and Princess Yue fled far away in the dark, and only then did they gradually slow down and polish the fire fold.

"You...... Hurt. Su Ye saw that Princess Yue's entire left shoulder had been stained red with blood, and an iron arrow grazed the upper edge of her heart and penetrated deep into her shoulder blade, and couldn't help but be shocked, "Your vitality failed to resist the feather arrow?"

He had seen the masters of the Qi Condensation Realm in the Absolute City, how to resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and he always thought that ordinary iron arrows could not hurt the people of the Qi Condensation Realm at all, but he didn't expect it......

Princess Yue's face turned pale and she laughed miserably: "The realm is unstable, so naturally." ”

She gripped the shaft of the arrow, but she didn't dare pull it out, and the blood soaked red all over her left shoulder, dripping down her arm to the ground.

The iron arrows used by the Imperial City Guards are specially made, narrow and sharp, with sharp barbs, easy to penetrate, as long as they penetrate deep into the flesh and want to pull it out, they will tear a large piece of flesh and blood around, which is unbearable.

"You go, I can't get out. Her eyes were resolute, and she handed over the secret decree of Emperor Chu in her arms to Su Ye, "You promised me, you can't go back." ”

Su Ye looked at her cold and resolute appearance, sighed, and did not take the secret decree in her hand.

"They'll look for the blood, so let's take care of the wound first. Su Ye knew that she wouldn't last long like this.

He helped Princess Yue to sit down on the ground, and pointed to cut off the iron arrow shaft, gathered his palms, and said, "You bear with it, it's good for a while." ”

Princess Moon didn't know what he was going to do, but she nodded seriously and bit her lip.

Su Ye did not hesitate, the lightning in his palm pushed forward, hitting the broken iron arrow arrow, caused by the huge force, the iron arrow instantly penetrated the shoulder blade of the moon princess at a lightning speed, and shot out from her back.

Princess Moon snorted and bit her lip tightly, but she couldn't hold back her screams.

Su Ye was amazed at her endurance, reached into her arms, and took out a bottle of finger-sized gold creation powder, quickly sprinkled it on her penetrating wound, and then ripped off a large piece of her placket on her body, said offended, tore the skirt around her wound, and tightly wrapped the strip of cloth from the wound around her shoulder.

Princess Yue couldn't help but be very surprised when she saw him go from taking out the iron arrow to bandaging the wound in one go, like a cloud of flowing water.

"Thank you!" she blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, this is the first time she has been touched by a young man, and it is in the shoulder blade position near her crisp chest, even though her heart is like ice, but her expression is still a little embarrassed and shy.

"Okay!" Su Ye got up, watched the blood from the wound slowly soak out, much better than before, and said in a deep voice, "I barely helped you stop the blood, but you were too badly injured, and if you continue like this, you won't last long, we must get out as soon as possible." ”

Princess Yue nodded, stood up, gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward with Su Ye.

The two of them extinguished the fire and zigzagged along the secret passage, until it was almost two hours later when the narrow passage began to widen again.

Su Ye felt that the secret passage was gradually widening, and thought that he was about to reach the exit.

Unexpectedly, they continued to turn east and west for a while, but returned to the place where they left before.

"How could it be ......" Su Ye was stunned for a moment, surprised in her heart.

"I think we accidentally walked into the fork in the road. Princess Moon sighed.

Her face grew paler, and the blood from the wound soaked the bandaged cloth again.

Su Ye closed his eyes and recalled carefully for a while, and found that they had been touching the wall of the secret passage and walking to the right, but at some point, they had missed the correct passage.

"Turn back again. He gritted his teeth.

Princess Yue answered, followed behind Su Ye, and walked towards the secret path where she set off again, but her body was under extreme blood loss, and her consciousness gradually became trance, and when she got to the back, because of her physical weakness, she couldn't keep up with Su Ye's pace at all, and occasionally stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"I'll carry you!" Su Ye saw that she was unable to support her, and stretched out his hand to her.

Princess Yue shook her head, wanting to say that she could still walk, but Su Ye had already grabbed her without hesitation and carried her on her back.

"There are so many forks in the road, and we're lucky to be able to go back to where we are. He said in a deep voice, "This secret passage is only familiar to you, and if you faint, we will have to be completely trapped in it." ”

He recalled that it was the Moon Princess who was in a trance before, causing the two of them to go the wrong way.

Now that the two of them have walked back into the passage, Su Ye will never allow himself to make the same mistake again.

Princess Yue knew that he was telling the truth, although there was some resistance in her heart to be carried on his back, but at the moment her physical strength was overdrawn, she lost too much blood, and she was no longer able to keep up, so she could only sigh, and helplessly lay on his shoulder, making a small fire, showing the way for Su Ye.

The two of them continued to walk along the same path for almost an hour.

The Moon Princess finally found the clue and instructed Su Ye to turn into a hidden dark passage on the left.

Su Ye found that there were six passages extending in all directions in the place he turned into, all of which were in an inconspicuous dark place, very hidden, and his heart was terrified, and he couldn't help but be shocked by the complexity of this place.

He knew that without the guidance of the Moon Princess, he would probably find it difficult for him to find the right path.

Su Ye knew that there might be a lot of complicated sections behind, and the Moon Princess might not be able to support it for so long, so she couldn't help but quickly speed up and carry her all the way.

The two of them walked forward for another half hour.

When Su Ye thought he was about to get close to the exit, a flickering firelight and noisy voices suddenly appeared in front of him.

"It's the Praetorian Guard. Princess Yue listened to the accent in her voice and said weakly to Su Ye.

"It came so fast. Su Ye's heart was tense, he put out the fire, the long sword was unsheathed, and he slowly approached in the darkness.

"How can there be half a figure in this ghost place, and the bloodstains that have been tracked all the way are gone, how can you track them?"

"Indeed, there are so many forks in the road, the devil knows which is the way to live, even if we don't chase it, it is estimated that the two of them will be trapped in it. ”

"It's worth dying too, that kid is accompanied by Princess Yue, and he should be happy to be a ghost. ”

"That's right, with a peerless beauty like Princess Yue by his side, that kid doesn't know if it's a blessing from several lifetimes. ”

"Let's go, let's go back, it's estimated that this is also a dead end, we have been going forward for so long, maybe the commander has already caught someone. ”

A Praetorian Guard soldier turned around and was about to go back when Su Ye suddenly appeared from behind him and stabbed his heart with a sword, ending his life in an instant.

He didn't wait for these warriors to roar or flee, the black sword met the air, the sword swelled, and he struck with the sharpest sword momentum, killing the five closest people in front of him.

Then the middle palace went straight forward, running the eight swords of wind and snow that only attacked but could not defend, and killed the remaining five people between the thunder.

Finally, after making sure that there was no way to live, he picked up a torch again, extinguished the rest of the fire, and carried the Moon Princess on his back.

Princess Yue lay on Su Ye's back, seeing the whole battle process, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, in the face of more than ten elite soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, there was no hesitation and fear, the sword is life and death, but in the blink of an eye, a Praetorian Guard team turned into a dead soul under his sword, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

She was silent for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "No wonder I'm not your opponent, with such superb swordsmanship and battlefield experience of yours, I'm afraid that without many life and death experiences, it can't be formed at all, right?"

"If your strength can stabilize in the Qi Condensation Realm and make a decisive move, it will be impossible for me to defeat you. Su Ye said, "You just have too little experience in combat, and you don't know how to use your own strength!"

The Moon Princess let out a low 'um' and nodded.

Among the people she had seen, there were few people who used their own strength so vividly as Su Ye.

Such skills and reactions, she has not experienced a life-and-death crisis, and she will not be able to learn it at all for a while.

"Can you still hold on?" Su Ye felt that the Moon Princess's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and asked with a frown.

He found that the wound of the Moon Princess, after the vigorous exercise of the battle just now, was pulled and torn again, and began to gush blood in large quantities.

The blood soaked through the bandage of cloth and wet his shoulders.

"Let's go, I'm fine. Princess Yue gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "You just turn the dark passage on the east side in front of you and keep moving forward, there should be no forks in the back." ”

She didn't know how many times she had seen the underground secret passage of the palace, and the route had already been imprinted in her mind, as long as she was still conscious, she would not make a mistake again.

Su Ye answered, walked more than a dozen steps, and suddenly found that the Moon Princess on her back had lost her support, passed out, and completely lay on her shoulder.

"Princess, don't sleep, don't sleep......" he said urgently.

Having experienced the bloody battlefield, he knows that people are extremely seriously injured, as long as they lose consciousness, it is difficult to wake up again, after the Moon Princess was seriously injured, she held on for four hours, and her body had already reached the limit of bearing, and now when she sleeps, I am afraid that after a while, her life will be in danger.

Su Yefeng shuttled through the secret passage at a gallop, threw the torch, and ran wildly all the way.

Fortunately, the last remaining distance was not too long, and he ran with all his might, but after a stick of incense, he saw the bright sky in the distance.

He was covered in sweat, and in a hurry, he mustered up the last breath of true qi and rushed out of the secret passage with all his might.

However, when Su Ye rushed out of the secret passage and clearly saw the situation outside, the whole person was stunned.

Outside the exit of the secret passage, it was not a wilderness, let alone a hidden place, but the backyard of an iron refining workshop, and the huge words 'Tianyuan Pavilion' on the refining workshop pierced his eyes.
