Chapter 123: Recognize the wrong person again
Yu Qingfeng walked to the door and said painlessly, "We have decided not to go." Her Royal Highness is Princess Xiaonan, you should go to King Xiaonan to save people, right? Looking for us, it's not suitable. ”
Su Niang raised her head suddenly, her eyes shot out a cold light, pointing directly at Yu Qingfeng, eager to tear her to pieces immediately.
Yu Qingfeng was fearless, and stared at Su Niang condescendingly.
Su Niang quickly retracted her gaze, grabbed Pei Wunan's trouser legs, and cried: "His Royal Highness and King Xiaonan have no real name and no relationship at all, but His Royal Highness has a deep affection for Lord Pei, and this time he entered the tower to live and die with him......"
"Even so, that is His Highness's own choice, not our responsibility. We are not obligated to pick up people," Yu Qingfeng pulled Pei Wuyi back, "You better go and find King Xiaonan." ”
Pei Wuyi stopped, "Slow, if you want to talk about obligations, there really is." We are here this time to solve problems for Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'm afraid I really have to go to the Nether Tower this time. ”
Yu Qingfeng shook off Pei Wuyi's hand.
Lin Ming and Lian Shurong surrounded Yu Qingfeng on the left and on the right.
"Yu Sizhi, don't be willful. Although it is said that the hero is sad to pass the beauty level, but the hero is more knowledgeable, isn't it? ”
"Qingfeng, don't worry, I will protect you."
Although reluctantly, Yu Qingfeng had no choice but to follow Pei Wuyi and set off. How could she be absent and let Pei Wuxian face Qi Yao alone?
"Su Niang, what about you?" Yu Qingfeng walked a few steps and turned back to look at Su Niang.
"Of course, I'm going to go with me." Su Niang squeezed this sentence out from between her teeth.
Su Niang is really a loyal servant, Yu Qingfeng didn't provoke her, just because she provoked her master, she empathized with her master, and she couldn't wait to kill herself.
Yu Qingfeng sneered, the tool man Su Niang is really a hateful person, there must be pity.
Five men, five horses, hurried to the Netherworld Tower outside the city.
In the night, the Netherworld Tower was like a lonely giant, standing in the mist, watching the former Bo Nanguo alone, sad and indignant.
There was indeed a horse under the tower, and there was nowhere to tie it, so it turned around in a small circle in place, at a loss. I was excited to see my companions coming.
However, there was no one at the entrance to the tower. Qi Yao must have entered the tower.
"Su Niang, you look at these horses outside, let's go into the tower to find someone." Lin Ming ordered while dismounting, and as soon as his feet landed, he was dizzy and almost fell.
Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyi's horses fell behind.
Yu Qingfeng had just learned to ride a horse not long ago, and naturally he was the slowest; Pei Wuyi deliberately slowed down to accompany her.
What was worse than Lin Ming was that Yu Qingfeng simply fell and squatted when he got off the horse.
Pei Wuyi hurriedly came up to help, but because his movements were too hurried and violent, he was also a little dizzy.
Lian Shurong has the best physical strength and the highest martial arts, and he can't help but complain that the other three are pampered and used to sitting in a carriage.
After the few people stood still, they looked up at the Netherworld Tower.
The tall tower where the legendary entrance to hell is located, the tower that has countless floors, the tower that devoured Ye Xuanlang and Ma Lei escaped by luck, is close in front of you.
Yu Qingfeng observed from top to bottom, although she couldn't really see it in the moonlight, what she could see was the same as she imagined.
The tower is tall because only the top floor has windows, and from the outside it is impossible to count how many floors there are.
The top floor is surrounded by small windows, which were used to watch the military situation.
The top floor of the tower is not open-air, but has a sloping roof.
Not surprisingly, the Nether Tower also has a spire, which is thin and tall, and as for how tall it is, it is really difficult to see in the night.
Most of the ancient towers had spires, which should also have the function of lightning rods.
The entrance to the Nether Tower is not a simple door. Standing in front of the entrance, facing a curved stone brick wall, this wall is located in the tower, which is equivalent to a screen, preventing outsiders from easily seeing the scene inside the tower and preventing the wind and rain from pouring directly into the tower.
There is a small wooden door on each side of the screen, and there is no padlock, so it can be pushed open at will, and it can be blown open by a little stronger wind.
The door is narrow and can only be entered and exited by one person at a time. Two doors, only two people can enter at the same time. If there are too many people, you have to enter in columns.
The watchtower was probably designed to prevent a large influx of enemy troops in a short period of time.
Standing at the doorway of the small door and looking into the tower, the spiral staircase can only be faintly seen through the moonlight projected from the top of the tower.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse tonight, and the light is good.
"Your Highness the Princess?" Lin Ming was the first to step into the tower and shouted into the dark depths.
No response.
Yu Qingfeng followed and entered, "Princess Xiaonan? ”
Still no response.
On the other side, Lian Shurong and Pei Wuyi also walked in, and all four of them entered the tower.
"Qi Yao?" Pei Wuyi tentatively shouted again.
Yu Qingfeng held the oil lamp in front of Pei Wuyi, pinched his throat sarcastically, and said, "You simply call: Yao'er, I am your boring brother." ”
Pei Wuxian glanced at Yu Qingfeng.
Lian Shurong couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
"Be serious." Lin Ming patted Lian Shurong.
Lian Shurong was aggrieved and pointed at Yu Qingfeng, "It's obvious that she is not serious first, right?" Just know to say me. ”
The four of them fell silent and listened carefully, and there was no sound except for each other's breathing and the sound of the wind.
Although Qi Yao didn't respond, since he came, he would follow the original plan and inspect the tower.
Lin Ming started with the lead, and after Lian Shurong Palace, Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyi were sandwiched in the middle, and a group of four people began to climb the building.
After climbing five floors, Yu Qingfeng became more and more aware that something was wrong.
"Do you feel dizzy?" Yu Qingfeng held on to the stone pillar and stopped.
"Sort of, probably because it's going around in circles, right?" Lin Ming replied.
Pei Wunu, who was behind him, said vigilantly: "Something is wrong, everyone be careful." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a "click" sound overhead, and something fell from a height, hitting the wooden steps, and falling down with a clang.
"Here, it's just like what Ma Lei said!" Yu Qingfeng turned his head and grabbed Pei Wuyi's hand behind him.
As he spoke, the falling, stone-like object hit the wooden steps where Yu Qingfeng was, and fell through the gap.
Yu Qingfeng was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she slipped on the plank, like Ma Lei, one leg stretched out from the gap in the plank steps.
She immediately thought of Ma Lei's hallucination, where Wen Miaozi grabbed his feet below.
Yu Qingfeng screamed and retracted her legs forcefully.
Pei Wuxian helped behind Yu Qingfeng, and finally stabilized her.
"Could it be that we all have the same hallucinations as Ma Lei? No, we didn't drink! Lian Shurong's voice was obviously a little shaky.
"Could it be that hallucinogenic drugs are not drunk in wine, but inhaled by us?" Lin Ming subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and said angrily, "Is there a problem with the air in this tower?" ”
Yu Qingfeng hurriedly took out the handkerchief around his waist to cover his mouth and nose and tied it behind his head.
Pei Wuyi also operates.
Lian Shurong and Lin Ming, who did not have handkerchiefs, could only tear off the corner of their clothes and cover their mouths and noses.
A few people went up to the sixth floor, ready to rest for a while, but heard a faint sobbing sound around them.
The oil lamp shone past, and it turned out to be Qi Yao, who was crying and muttering in the corner.
"Your Highness?" Pei Wuyi screamed tentatively.
"Don't, father, Yao'er won't marry, please, father, ......" Qi Yao's shoulders trembled, kneeling against the wall, and kept hitting the wall with his forehead, as if kowtowing.
"It seems that His Highness inhales more hallucinogenic air than we do. Everyone's hallucinations are different, and her hallucinations are that she fears the most about marrying a traitor. Lin Ming shook his head sympathetically and said.
Yu Qingfeng didn't have the time to pay attention to what kind of hallucination Qi Yao had, she was more focused on herself.
She looked at the stone pillar, as if she saw countless living white filaments sticking out of the stone pillar in front of her, coming towards her neck.
"Stone pillars, sure enough!" Yu Qingfeng screamed and got into Pei Wuyi's arms.
"What's there? Nothing. Lian Shurong blamed Yu Qingfeng for making a fuss, "You yourself are cowardly, just scare yourself, don't scare us, okay?" ”
Lin Ming walked behind Qi Yao with an oil lamp, patted her on the shoulder, and called softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness?" I'm Lin Ming, and Master Pei is here too. ”
Qi Yao was unmoved, still crying and complaining to the wall.
Lin Ming beckoned to Pei Wuyi, meaning that he had to come.
Pei Wuxian explained to Yu Qingfeng: "Let's send the princess out and hand it over to Su Niang first, just so let's go outside to breathe fresh air, and then turn back to investigate." ”
Yu Qingfeng had no choice but to let go of the hand that grabbed Pei Wuyi.
Pei Wuyi walked behind Qi Yao and called softly: "Your Highness...... Haruka. ”
Qi Yao finally stopped crying, turned his head tentatively, and saw that the person in front of him was Pei Wuyi, and he was caught off guard and threw himself into his arms.
"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, Brother Prince, can you go and intercede with your father? Father listens to you the most, you save Yao'er! ”
Pei Wuyi was pounced on by Qi Yao like this, his center of gravity was unstable, swaying, and he was dizzy again.
"Master Pei, it doesn't matter, right?" Lin Ming hurriedly came to help.
Pei Wuyi rubbed his eyes, looked at Qi Yao, who was crying in his arms, and looked back at Yu Qingfeng and Lian Shurong, and reacted for a while.
"Shurong, you take His Highness out of the tower first, and take His Highness back with Su Niang. Together with Lin Ming Qingfeng, I must find out how many floors this Netherworld Tower has, whether there is a place where people can hide it, and where the hallucinogenic gas comes from. ”
Yu Qingfeng was stunned, didn't Pei Wuyi recognize the wrong person again, and regarded Qi Yao in his arms as himself and Qi Yao as himself?
Yu Qingfeng just wanted to open his mouth to reveal his identity, but found that he couldn't open his mouth.
She wanted to touch her mouth, but her hand stopped an inch away from her mouth, as if she had touched something amazing, and she fell to the ground in fright.
Lian Shurong was taken aback by Yu Qingfeng's actions, "What's wrong?" ”
Yu Qingfeng couldn't make a sound, so she could only break the invisible ghost hand on Lian Shurong's lips with force.
