Zhao Bohu smiled faintly and patted him on the shoulder: "With you, the god of war, what danger can I have?" By the way, how about the king? ”

"Don't you know? The king had already taken refuge in the palace when the fire broke out. As soon as Duoyou's voice fell, he suddenly felt a little remorseful, the palace door was locked, and Zhao Bohu must have seen the fire in the palace and hurried over, where do you know the inner reason?

When Zhao Bohu heard this, he did not see a relieved look on his face, but a look of anxiety: "Out of the palace?" Where are they going? Is there someone around to protect you? ”

His voice made Ji Duoyou nervous, and he hurriedly explained: "I'm not by my side, all of this was told to me by Wang Chengling's inner servant." You can ask him. ”

Zhao Bohu stood on the head of the burning Nangong Gate City, the blood above and below the city was scorched by the heat, and the blood on the ground reached his ankles. He looked at the direction of the pickaxe capital city from afar, and was worried: such a micro-service rashly left the palace, if Ji Hu had a mistake, how could it be good?

Suddenly, Ji Duoyou pointed in the direction of the west and shouted, "Look! It's on fire there! ”

It was a chaotic night. Zhao Bohu looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, billowing smoke rose in the night, illuminating the dark and dreary night sky as amber-like clarity. He was suspicious: that direction, not ------

At this time, the rebels at the head of the city had already been cleaned up, and the warriors in red robes and black armor also saw the direction of the fire in the city, and began to stretch out their arms and point, looking at Zhao Bohu from time to time, their eyes were shocked, and they didn't dare to say it with their mouths open.

Ji Tayu noticed the strangeness of the samurai and took the initiative to step forward and ask, "What's wrong?" What is the place on fire? ”

"It seems to be ------ it seems to be the ------ Prime Minister's Mansion------" the samurai's voice became quieter and quieter.

"What?" This sound sounded no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day to Duoyou, and he hurriedly turned his face and asked Zhao Bohu: "Ah Hu, is it true?" Is that your house on fire? ”

Zhao Bohu's face was already pale, and that was indeed the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion. His brain was spinning rapidly, these people were obviously going to King Zhou, and now that Ji Hu was out of the palace, he was likely to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for help, he could guess it, and those thieves could also guess it. Besides, they didn't know that the fourth prince's father was no longer in the palace, so they wanted to cut down the two sons-in-law of Queen Fanji, and the Xiangfu was also the most worthy target in the royal capital. Why can't I think of this?

"What are you doing in a daze?" Ji Duoyou pulled him: "Hurry up and rush back with the people, how can my sister-in-law and my wife deal with these vicious outlaws?" I'll do it here. ”

Zhao Bohu came back to his senses and responded: "Okay, I'll go back." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and whispered to Ji Duoyou for a while. The latter listened, and his face showed surprise and admiration: "You mean the imperial father------ I understand, you can rest assured." ”

This is a silent world, Ji Hu Shen is shallow and shallow in the darkness, and Qi Zhong in front of him is trying to put the wind lantern in his hand back, so that the fifteen-year-old fugitive emperor can see the road under his feet. But the power of darkness was too powerful, and the little wind of the wind lantern was soon overwhelmed by the boundless darkness.

Ji Hu felt that he had been walking for several years, and this secret passage was tortuous and could not reach the end. He kept looking down at the little blurred light and shadow under his feet, and sometimes he was too tired, looking up to adjust the soreness of his neck muscles. He wanted to see something, but above him was a void, as if nothing existed, but it was clear that there was a terrible undercurrent pouring down.

Walking, walking, walking------ suddenly felt something bright in front of him, Ji Hu instinctively asked, "Is there an exit ahead?" ”

Qi Zhong was entrusted by the inner servant Jia, and he was naturally extremely cautious at this time: "The king is not in a hurry, and wait in the same place for a while, and the slave will come forward to investigate." ”

After saying that, he carried the wind lantern and walked forward for the camp step by step, but left Ji Hu in the boundless dark world. This kid, the lamp is not left to be lonely! Ji Hu didn't dare to look back, so he had to be numb and watched Qi Zhong bow his back and take a step to explore------

"Boom -----" strange, where does the sound of the water come from?

Ji Hu was wondering, Qi Zhong had already come back by touching, and reported with a look of surprise and joy: "King, there is an exit ahead, but it is just a well." ”

"Wells? Take Gu to see it! "Ji Hu is in a hurry, if it is a well with water, and it is poured back, won't he drown here alive?

After about forty or fifty steps in the dark, under the light of the wind lanterns and candles, Ji Hu could be considered to have roughly figured out the situation of this exit. Indeed, this is a well, not a dry well, but with water. He tried to pick up a pebble and threw it into the water, only to hear a "bang", and it seemed that the water level was quite deep.

He carefully observed the relationship between the secret passage and the water level of the well, and finally understood where the joints were. This passage is inserted diagonally downward into the middle and upper walls of the well, so that no matter how high the water level of the well rises, at most it will only soak into a part of the proximal passage, and will never completely backfill the entire passage.

Ji Hu also found half of the remaining stone at the junction of the secret passage and the wall of the well, the edges were neat and smooth, and it looked like it had been carefully polished. The other half of the well may not have been able to withstand the soaking of the well water for many years and the erosion of the years and peeled into the well, and has disappeared. It can be seen that the exit of this secret passage was also controlled by a living mechanism, just like the culvert he saw in the murderous mansion by the Han River back then.

I don't know if Grandfather Wang was inspired by the incident of King Xianzhao to build such a strange secret passage, and it really saved his life today! Ji Hu felt lucky in his heart.

The wellhead doesn't look too big, and it can only accommodate one person up and down. A few rays of starlight cast down from the blue sky at the mouth of the well, rippling a well of sparkling. Ji Hu roughly estimated, the entrance of the secret passage is still four or five meters away from the well, how can you go up?

Qi Zhong scratched his head: "King, why don't we shout for help!" Someone will pull us up! ”

Ji Hu glanced at him coldly: "Aja is such a shrewd person, how can he accept such a stupid apprentice as you?" Do you know what this place is? Friend or foe? Hurriedly yelling, do you think you have lived too long? "Fun Cabinet

"The king forgives his sins, the slave is indeed stupid, and he is often angry with the master!" Qi Zhong replied frankly.

Ji Hu sighed lightly: "Aja also has a few apprentices, but he loves you the most, don't you know if you value your 'stupid' word?" "The more intelligent and scheming people are, the more they like to be with stupid people, it's very simple, and the heart is not tired!

Qi Zhong didn't understand the key to his words at all, and asked puzzledly, "King, why is this?" The minions are unknown. ”

Ji Hu couldn't help but laugh, and was about to laugh out loud. Suddenly, there was a noise of footsteps above the wellhead, as if someone was walking towards this side, and he hurriedly pulled Qi Zhong to hide in the inner side of the secret passage.

I only heard a chaotic sound of "clanging", as if someone was turning the wheel on the well, and after a while, a large wooden barrel was hung down, swinging left and right in the well. Qi Zhong looked at the heat in his eyes, and whispered in Ji Hu's ear: "King, let's hurry up and lie on that bucket, won't we be hoisted up?" ”

Ji Hu waved his hand, telling him to hold his breath and not speak. Not to mention whether the person above is friend or foe, he jumps on his stomach, in case he pulls the well rope, it is not a joke. Qi Zhong had no choice but to watch the bucket full of water hang up one by one.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ji Hu quickly stretched out his head and glanced at the well. There seems to be a plum blossom lamp on the wellhead, and the light is extremely dim, and it can only shine two or three meters below the well. He also saw an arm in a brocade robe, which was printed and colored, embroidered with a cloud pattern that kept his head on it, shining faintly in the moonlight, and then a heavy aroma of fat powder rippled out.

"What? It turned out to be a woman? The bucket looks quite heavy, what kind of woman can lift it? Ji Hu thought to himself.

Just as she was thinking about it, the woman spoke, and her voice was very crisp and beautiful, like singing: "Huh? How did you get here? I just got sick, and the night was cool and windy, so don't catch a cold. Go back to the couch and lie down! ”

Sickness? What disease? Ji Hu is extremely sensitive, and when he hears that someone is sick, he instinctively thinks about the epidemic. He pricked up his ears and listened.

Sure enough, a man's voice replied: "Sir, let you prepare three loads of water, and the two large water tanks must be filled, how can you afford it as a woman?" I'm here to help. ”

"But your body -----"

"It doesn't matter." The man replied: "Everyone else has this disease is a dead word, my life is great, I have to be rescued by my husband, and I am cured." The ability of a gentleman is really to heal the dead, flesh and bones! How fortunate you and I are to meet this miracle doctor in this pickaxe capital. The gentleman cured me of my illness without taking a penny, so let's do this for the gentleman, isn't it something that should be shared? ”

Hearing this, no matter how stupid Qi Zhong was, he could hear the clue, and he was so shocked that he was about to scream. Ji Hu hurriedly pressed his index finger to his lips and warned him to shut up with a stern look! The two of Inoue talked and laughed, and put down the bucket again------

Ji Hu thought in his heart: these two seem to be husband and wife, and there is no cure for a man infected with the epidemic, but by chance, he met a miracle doctor and picked up a life. Then there is indeed someone in this world who can cure this disease, and this person is still in the capital of Pickaxe, not far from the mouth of this well. If this person can be found and asked to preside over the healing of the infected people in the palace and the city, then this catastrophe of my Great Zhou Dynasty will be solved!

He forcibly suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart, and heard the couple in the well pick up the bucket, the conversation and laughter gradually drifted away------ crossed the heart, Ji Hu turned his face to Qi Zhong and said: "Before the two of them come back to carry the water again, Gu must go up, so that he can follow them and find the miracle doctor!" ”
