This is not because Lin Cong wants to be grateful to Mo Zhai, nor is it because he wants to repay his grievances with virtue. Rather, he was carrying out the secret mission given to him by Xiao Shizhu.

Since the last time Lin Cong secretly reported Mo Zhai's plan to Xiao Shizhu, the two souls have been in correspondence, and Lin Cong has also become a spy planted by Xiao Shizhu in Mo's house. Just to repay what Xiao Shizhu said to him that day: "Be careful on the road." ”。

As early as two days before the ghost mother sent a secret letter to Xiao Shizhu, Xiao Shizhu quietly wrote a secret letter and passed it to Lin Cong. The letter said that after receiving the order of Emperor Xudu to encircle and suppress the Mo family, Lin Cong was requested to report the disappearance to Mo Zhai as quickly as possible, and help the other party and the bird slipper to escape.

Xiao Shizhu believed that Mo Zhai would not be easily killed by Emperor Xudu, but for the sake of safety, he still made two preparations.

Once Mo Zhai escaped, Emperor Xudu would chase after him, so that the war between Emperor Xudu and the Mo family would last longer, so that Emperor Xudu would have no time to take care of other princes and Xiao Shizhu. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Shizhu can do what he wants to do with peace of mind, such as strengthening the ghost mother country and so on.

Therefore, there was a scene where Lin Cong threw off his colleagues and took the lead in arriving at the Mo family's stronghold to report the news for Mo Zhai.

"Escape?" Mo Zhai was surprised, and sneered, "Do you want me to give up the 10,000 disciples lurking in the city?" There was a disdain in the gaze cast at Lin Cong.

Seeing this, Lin Cong still maintained an anxious look on his face, but he secretly scolded in his heart: "Fuck, are you such a righteous human soul? I haven't seen you so affectionate and righteous in the past, I'm afraid you can't bear to have those properties in the capital city, right?"

He cursed in his heart, and there was a noise outside the front building. A trace of nervousness flashed in Lin Cong's eyes, and he immediately listened to it, and heard a lot from the noise: "Rush in and dig three feet into the ground, and you will also catch Mo Zhai." And "kill all the souls that dare to stand in the way." "And so on.

"Lord Giant. Hearing that the words were not good, Lin Cong hurriedly scolded Mo Zhai in a deep voice: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as you are still alive, you can make a comeback at any time." ”。 After finishing speaking, he didn't care about everything, picked up Mo Zhai and walked quickly in the direction of the firewood house.

He, Mo Zhai and the bird slapped into the firewood room and closed the door, and the back and front of the small courtyard had been broken through. The ghost pawns and the ghosts killed the ink masters in the restaurant and rushed into the courtyard.

Without further ado, Lin Cong walked to the east wall of the room and tapped the palm-sized wooden plank in front of him. The plank was pressed into the wall, and then the plank next to it flipped slightly, and a dark black passage appeared behind the wall.

Lin Cong took Mo Zhai and the bird slippery, and then dodged into the dark passage. He reached out and twisted a round stone block embedded in the stone wall of the dark passage. Then the reversible plank at the entrance of the dark passage spun again, and the wall immediately returned to its original state.

Just after the entrance to the secret passage was closed, three or five ghost pawns happened to break down the door and enter the firewood room. It's really a desperate shot, if Mo Zhai and them are one step late, they will definitely be blocked in the firewood room, and they will be caught.

When the ghosts saw that there was no ghost in the firewood room, they all looked at each other suspiciously, and then the sharp gaze in their eyes fell on the messy firewood piled up in the room. They all stepped forward and kept stabbing and stabbing the firewood with knives and guns in their hands.

After working for a long time, I didn't see a ghost in the pyre, so I left in a huff.

In the narrow secret passage, Lin Cong took the fire fold in front of the team to illuminate the way for Mo Zhai, and the bird slipped behind the hall. The three human souls bowed their heads and bent down, shuttling through the dark passages of the short and tortuous space.

These secret passages are densely spread in the soil ten zhang under the city of Xudu, and they are paved with stone slabs up and down, left and right. The total length of hundreds of miles was dug up little by little by Mo Zhai in the hundreds of years that he had been lurking in the capital city. Dark passages crisscross and stretch in all directions like spider webs, connecting the Mojia strongholds in every part of the city, and also leading to the wilderness outside the city.

Since this is a secret tunnel built by the Mo family, who is good at craftsmanship and manufacturing mechanisms, it is naturally indispensable to have mechanisms such as fire crossbows and falling stone chain plates. There are even superbly exaggerated things such as superbly powerful *, giant moats, and wooden guards, and movable stone gates are installed at every intersection, and if necessary, the stone gates can be lowered to cut off the way to and fro.

As far as workmanship is concerned, this secret passage can be called a masterpiece in the history of architecture, and it is not the soul of the ink artist who enters this secret passage with thousands of machines, either because he is lost and trapped in it, or he is injured by the mechanism, and he will definitely die.

At the beginning of the construction, Mo Zhai wanted to use it to smuggle troops into the city in the future at the beginning of the rebellion, but he never imagined that this secret passage would become his life-saving straw today, but it would also become the place where he died in the near future.

"Lin Cong, how did the old ghost of Xudu find us?" After walking not far away, Mo Zhai couldn't help but ask curiously. The echoes linger in the dark passages.

"How do I know that it happened suddenly?" Lin Cong replied coldly, and said, "Earlier, he suddenly summoned the Ten Hall Yama Kings to the Middle Heaven Palace, and when those ten old ghosts come back, he will summon us and let us come and arrest you." ”。

As they spoke, they had come to a crossroads in the tunnel. Lin Cong stopped, looked left and right, turned his head and asked Mo Zhai, who was following him, "Where are you going?"

After thinking for a while, Mo Zhai pointed to the darkness in front of him and said, "To the east, the way out of the city." ”。

Lin Cong didn't say anything more, and followed his meaning to the east.

The three human souls walked for another hour, and finally came to the end of the dark passage. A beam of light shone through the hole not far away, making the darkness of the endless tunnel a little brighter.

Lin Cong made a gesture and motioned for Mo Zhai and them to stop, he went out to take a look first, and cautiously walked slowly in the direction of the cave. After a while, his figure disappeared from Mo Zhai's sight.

After a while, he poked his head through the entrance of the cave and said to Mo Zhai, "It's safe outside." After that, Mo Zhai and the bird slipped towards the entrance of the cave.

They climbed out of the tunnel, but saw that they had come to a tall and wooded mountain to the east of the capital, and the exit of the tunnel was a hollow in the trunk of an old tree in the mountain, hidden by bushes.

But after seeing that there was silence around them, and there were no pursuers and no crisis, Mo Zhai and Fowl Slippery breathed a sigh of relief. Leaning against the trunk of the old tree, he sat down slowly, and fell silent as he watched the mottled silhouette shining from among the leaves.

Becoming a light commander in an instant, Mo Zhai's eyes involuntarily showed a trace of loss and despair, and a rather decadent look appeared on his face.

Lin Cong climbed to the top of the tree without saying a word, and raised his eyes to look at the capital city in the west. After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head slightly under the tree and sighed: "Lord Giant, I see that the birds in the city are flying high, and it is very noisy; ”。

"Where will I go from here?" Mo Zhai sighed when he heard this, and after showing a hint of distress in his eyes, he turned his head to the fowl and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

After pondering for a moment, he did not rush to talk, but got up and climbed to the top of the tree, raising his eyes to look at the capital city to the west. He was cautious, but he didn't want to listen to Lin Cong's words, so he had to personally verify whether the city was a flock of birds flying high?

"Still don't believe me?" Seeing this, Lin Cong snorted coldly, and complained angrily: "I knew I wouldn't save you, so I left you in Xudu City." ”。

Seeing that the city was indeed flying high, and the dust could be seen everywhere, the birds were also a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to say in a somewhat stiff tone: "I'm just looking to see if there are any chasing soldiers coming this way?"

Lin Cong ignored him, climbed down the tree by himself, sat opposite Mo Zhai, and silently stared at the grass on the ground.

"The most dangerous place is safe. The bird slipper also climbed down from the tree, and said to Mo Zhai thoughtfully: "Let's follow the secret path and go back to the capital city." ”。

"Uh-huh. After thinking for a while, Mo Zhai nodded and said, "It's indeed feasible, when we go back, the ghost who searched the restaurant should leave." ”。

"Go to yourselves. Lin Cong stood up, patted the soil on his body, and said resolutely: "I'm not going to send you to death!" After finishing speaking, he walked deeper into the mountains and forests to the east.

"Lin Cong, where are you going?" Mo Zhai also stood up and asked.

"I'd rather hide in the mountains and sleep in the open than go back. Lin Cong stopped, turned his head slightly and glanced at Mo Zhai behind him, and said, "Emperor Xudu even knows that the other strongholds in the city must have fallen. And among our companions, many of them don't seem to be tough guys, just torture them, this secret path and I am the ink master, sooner or later, it will be known. ”。

When he said this, Mo Zhai also felt reasonable, so he lowered his head and thought about it. This place is now full of the eagle dogs of the Emperor Xudu, all of whom are desperately chasing them, and it is too dangerous to stay for a long time.

Fleeing to other branches of the Mo family to avoid danger is the best policy. However, many Mojia branches are scattered in various vassal states in the underworld. Moreover, many branch churches are newly built and do not have a deep foundation, and they may not be able to gain a foothold if they go rashly, so they are not considered.

Although there are few branches with deep roots, they are not impossible, and they have to go to these branches, but they are too far away, and they have to think of a way to rush out first, which is the first task.

"At the moment of the great enemy, we should work together. After thinking about it for a while, Mo Zhai had a plan, he looked at the fowl slippery, and after quietly giving the other party a look, he walked to Lin Cong, who was about to leave, and said to the other party in a slightly gentler tone than before: "At present, the three of us are weak, so don't separate again, so as not to make any mistakes." ”。

Lin Cong deliberately put on a stinky face, turned his head and glared at the bird slippery, and said, "I just can't see his brainless and pretending to be smart." Yu Bi snorted angrily and twisted his head back again.

"Lin Cong, the bird slippery is not malicious to you. Mo Zhai smiled slightly, bowed slowly to him, and said: "You are a great hero of the Mo family, he will not have malicious intentions towards you in any way; I don't think it's a problem for us to hide in the mountains and forests, so why don't we go south together, and after crossing two mountains, isn't there a Yantao Bridge there?"

"Do you want to say that when the garrison on the bridge sees us rushing over, they must think that we are heading south?" Lin Cong, who has been lurking in the government agency of Emperor Xudu for many years, naturally has a high IQ, and he knows that it is a key road to the south. On the Baili Canyon, there is only one suspension bridge dozens of zhang long connecting the north and south cliffs, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Emperor Xudu came to power, he arranged for thirty garrisons to guard it.

Mo Zhai had just mentioned this bridge, and he thought about whether Mo Zhai wanted to use his fingers to fight east and west to get rid of the pursuit, and he immediately expressed the question in his heart, and after seeing Mo Zhai nodding, he asked again: "And then?"

"A few days ago, I received a secret report that the Yin Lingzi of the Dongyi Continent Escape God Kingdom was planning to rebel, how about we go there?" Mo Zhai said slowly.

"I can't go back anyway. When Lin Cong heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he could follow Mo Zhai to better monitor the other party for Xiao Shizhu, so he pretended to be helpless, he sighed and shook his head, and said with a bitter smile: "Okay, Lord Juzi, I will accompany you to the end of the world." ”。
