Soon, the pursuers also came to this small courtyard, only to find that the two had disappeared into this small courtyard out of thin air.

Obviously, there must be a secret passage here, but it is difficult to find it for a while.

And they also found out that there was no one in ambush nearby, and it was really only Shang Xiuxun who came here alone.

It's just that now Shang Xiuxun has escaped. Apparently Pegasus Ranch will soon respond to this. They have already lost the matter, and there is no room for a turnaround.

And none of them proposed to find a secret door to enter the secret passage.

Obviously, they all understood that this place was full of traps, and no one wanted to risk their lives to enter the enemy's home turf.

Moreover, even taking risks may not always be rewarding. Maybe Shang Xiuxun has already been transferred through the internal organs.

Helplessly, they had no choice but to leave.

And Tao Shusheng and Yuan'er in Pegasus Ranch also followed Li Tianfan and left.

The passage is well ventilated, and there is no feeling of suffocation.

Even after the two entered, the wall lamp on the wall of the secret passage was automatically lit, illuminating the dim secret passage.

Even though he had just been rescued by Lu Miaozi, Shang Xiuxun's face was still unmoved, he just looked at the depths of the secret passage expressionlessly, and he didn't even look at Lu Miaozi.

Seeing this, Lu Miaozi also extinguished the idea of striking while the iron was hot at this time to bring the father-daughter relationship closer, and said: "Although the owner of the field can rest assured, this secret door needs a special method to open, and they will definitely not be able to enter." Even if they entered, the mechanism in this secret passage would be enough for them to eat a pot. At this point we are safe. ”

But Shang Xiuxun still didn't react, as if he hadn't heard Lu Miaozi's words.

Helpless, Lu Miaozi could only point out the way for Shang Xiuxun and tell her the direction of leaving.

Shang Xiuxun left without saying a word.

Walking along the secret passage, Shang Xiuxun came out of the exit and found that this was a hidden place in the inner fort.

Then she immediately mobilized the elite soldiers of Pegasus Ranch and turned around.

It's a pity that when they arrived at the small courtyard, it was already empty, and everyone had fled.

Soon they got the news that the patrols around the ranch had noticed that a group of people had forced themselves out of the ranch.

Apparently, they had all left the Pegasus Ranch and were now too late to catch up.

Shang Xiuxun reluctantly did not pursue the dereliction of duty of the guards, after all, the strength of the Pegasus Ranch was too weak, and there were simply not enough masters to deal with such a foreign enemy.

However, at least the crisis at Pegasus Ranch has been resolved, and they are one less internal trouble.

After everyone dispersed, Shang Xiuxun came to the comfort nest of Lu Miaozi in the back mountain to ask clearly.

Obviously, after calming down, she found that Zhao Mingyuan might have done something secretly behind her back and Lu Miaozi.

She was ready to ask what the hell was going on.

Because of Li Xiuning's betrayal, Shang Xiuxun is not so sure about Zhao Mingyuan's thoughts now.

It's just strange that she didn't find Lu Miaozi in her comfort nest.

Waited left and right, but Lu Miaozi never came back.

Shang Xiuxun's heart suddenly moved, and she went to the secret passage where Lu Miaozi took her to hide before.

She now realized that although she didn't know when Lu Miaozi dug this secret passage, this secret passage was obviously huge and intricate, winding from the back mountain to the inner castle, encompassing most of the area of Pegasus Ranch, and maybe even leading all the way to the outside of Pegasus Ranch.

Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but think hatefully, Lu Miaozi seemed to be in the back mountain all the time, but in fact, he didn't know how many times he had sneaked out.

After opening the secret door, sure enough, under the dim light, Shang Xiuxun saw Lu Miaozi sitting on the ground against the wall, which was the same position she saw when she left before.

Shang Xiuxun's heart moved, and asked, "Old man, why have you been here all this and haven't returned to your comfort zone?" ”

But Lu Miaozi didn't answer her question at all, nor did she make any movement, as if she hadn't heard Shang Xiuxun's words at all.

This seems to be the same as Shang Xiuxun's attitude towards Lu Miaozi before.

Could it be that Lu Miaozi is using this method to play his temper and take revenge on Shang Xiuxun?

But Shang Xiuxun is completely sure that Lu Miaozi will never face herself with such an attitude.

Seeing this, Shang Xiuxun suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said, "Old man, don't scare me. What's not to say soon? ”

But Lu Miaozi still didn't move.

Shang Xiuxun's heart suddenly swelled with unease, and she couldn't help but think of what Zhao Mingyuan had told her about Lu Miaozi's situation not long ago.

Zhao Mingyuan once said that Lu Miaozi had been tortured for decades because the Heavenly Demon True Qi left by Zhu Yuyan, the Queen of the Yin, could not be expelled from it, and his body had already run out of oil, and he was not far from death.

But at that time, Shang Xiuxun just thought that Zhao Mingyuan was helping Lu Miaozi say good things and wanted to trick her into forgiving Lu Miaozi.

Therefore, she did not believe those words at all.

But now, looking at the motionless figure under the dim light, Shang Xiuxun suddenly realized that what Zhao Mingyuan said might be true.

Shang Xiuxun walked towards Lu Miaozi step by step.

At this time, Lu Miaozi was still dressed in black, and she was still wearing the human skin mask on her face, and the scar on her face was looming in the dim light, looking a little hideous.

"Old man, old man!" Shang Xiuxun came to Lu Miaozi and shouted twice, but still didn't get any response.

Shang Xiuxun stretched out his finger to test Lu Miaozi's snort, but he didn't notice any air flow passing through. Holding Lu Miaozi's pulse, he didn't notice any pulse.

Shang Xiuxun was unwilling to input his true qi and probed into Lu Miaozi's body.

However, he only found that the meridians in Lu Miaozi's body had been corroded to the point of thousands of holes, and it was obvious that that was the effect of the Heavenly Demon True Qi.

As for the true qi in Lu Miaozi's body, it can't be detected at all.

Lu Miaozi had used a lot of true qi when she saved her before, how could she not have a little true qi?

Unless, he is indeed dead.

Shang Xiuxun finally had to accept this fact.

After realizing this, Shang Xiuxun didn't cry bitterly, not even sad, but felt empty in his heart, and had an indescribable feeling.

In fact, because of her mother Shang Qingya, in Shang Xiuxun's heart, Lu Miaozi has always been a negative image.

It may be a bit too much to say that he wants to die, but in fact, it's not much worse. I guess I was annoyed by seeing him.

In her life over the years, she and Lu Miaozi have hardly intersected, and they haven't even said much.

Shang Xiuxun's impression of Lu Miaozi is also the description of her mother Shang Qingya when she was a child.

After the death of her mother Shang Qingya, although Lu Miaozi came to meet her several times and wanted to make up for their relationship, they all retreated under her stubborn attitude.

Therefore, for Lu Miaozi's sudden death, although Shang Xiuxun felt a little sudden, a little surprised, and a little lost, he was not sad at all.

It just felt, oh, it turned out that the man was finally dead.

Even if he knew that Lu Miaozi made this move to save himself, if he didn't make today's move, although he was not in good shape, he would not die so quickly, and he could still support it for a while.

It's just that he knew this, and in order to save himself, he still did it without hesitation.

Even, at the last moment of his life, he was still cold, and he didn't even say a word to him.

Thinking of this, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.

She was hit in a series of blows in this day, first by the backstab of her best friend Li Xiuning, then by the betrayal of the deacon of Pegasus Ranch, and then by Lu Miaozi's sacrifice to save him, and his final death.

Experiencing so many things in a short period of time made Shang Xiuxun's heart can't help but be complicated.

The continuous betrayal made Shang Xiuxun not know who else in this world was trustworthy, and the death of Lu Miaozi, her only blood relative in this world, made her feel extremely lonely.

In the eyes of everyone in Pegasus Ranch, Shang Xiuxun has always been an excellent owner, but he is just a farmer.

Everyone treated her with courtesy, respect, and love, but no one was close to her.

And Shang Xiuxun can only do what a qualified owner should do, thinking that he can continue like this.

But now, at this complicated time, Shang Xiuxun only felt that the vastness of the world was so vast that there was no one who could let her tell her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

At this moment, she suddenly felt someone walking behind her. When he turned his head, he saw that it was Zhao Mingyuan, who had returned to Pegasus Ranch at some point.

Shang Xiuxun's eyes couldn't help but light up, he couldn't hold back the feeling in his heart anymore, and he didn't want to endure it anymore, so he threw himself into Zhao Mingyuan's arms.

Feeling Zhao Mingyuan's warm embrace, Shang Xiuxun suddenly felt that it was good to have someone to rely on.

I am no longer alone, no longer a lonely little girl, but a family.

Home is never a house, not even the other half of a marriage, but the person who can make you pour out all your feelings.

Shang Xiuxun hugged Zhao Mingyuan tightly and didn't say a word.

But her tears kept flowing downward, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances, sorrows, and pains she had suffered.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan didn't speak, but just wrapped one hand around Shang Xiuxun's elastic willow waist, and caressed the back of the powder with the other, thinking that it was comforting.

After a while, Shang Xiuxun calmed down, and her tears stopped. At this time, Zhao Mingyuan's entire placket was almost wet.

Zhao Mingyuan looked at Lu Miaozi's corpse and said, "Is this Lu Miaozi's senior?" Has he ......?"

Shang Xiuxun said: "Not bad. It was because he desperately saved me that he ran out of true qi and died of oil.

Now that he's dead, everything he's done before is wiped out.

And I forgave him.

Come, let us bury him! ”

Zhao Mingyuan nodded, walked up to Lu Miaozi, grabbed his arm, and prepared to turn him away from this secret passage.

Suddenly, Zhao Mingyuan's body shook, showed joy, and said, "He's not dead yet!" And save! ”
