The well was so narrow and deep that it slid all the way down, and both of their clothes were scratched. Xiao Wei snuggled up to Xie Wuyi from below, ready to use his body to cushion her from the impact of landing.

The boulder that had just been smashed overhead was almost stuck at the mouth of the well, blocking the dazzling flames. There was only a very faint light in the well, and Xie Wuyi listened to the echo of the falling stones, and lifted the candle bone up after making sure that he was close to the bottom. Xiao Wei understood her prompt, and adjusted her posture at the same time, only to hear a muffled sound of "plop", and the two finally fell to the bottom of the well.

Xie Wuyi was driven by Xiao Wei, who was unsteady on his feet, and was lying on top of him in a very indecent posture at the moment, and Xiao Wei's hand was still supporting her waist. Perhaps because of the fire, Xie Wuyi felt that his face was hot. She put away the candle bone and climbed down neatly, and the sound of Xiao Wei's violent heartbeat still echoed in her ears.

She leaned against Xiao Wei and moved her wrist briefly. Xiao Wei also sat up, subconsciously touching the fire fold, Xie Wuyi heard his clothes rustling, and hurriedly held him down.

"You can't light a fire in a dry well."

Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there were often explosive gases in the dry well tunnels, and it was easy to see open flames. With the only bit of red light above, he approached Xie Wuyi and said in a dumb voice:

"I'm sorry Xiaoyi, I'm ......"

Xie Wuyi knew that Xiao Wei said that the instinctive reaction at the wellhead made the two of them lose the only chance to escape, she sighed and shook her head, "I was careless." Your Highness hasn't seen the mechanism, I should have warned you first. ”

Organ?

Xiao Wei was stunned. Could it be that Xie Wuyi meant...... The boulder stuck at the mouth of the well was not an accident, this dry well turned out to be a mechanism?

Xie Wuyi originally thought that it was a coincidence that they stepped on the well and the stones flew down, but when the dagger touched the wall of the well, her heart was cold. This is an elaborate trap, and if Xiaodi is trying to kill them, how can he leave a chance to escape?

Seeing the surroundings clearly, Xiao Wei tentatively touched the wall of the well, and was immediately scalded and retracted his hand. It's strange, the fire outside has only been out for a short time, why is the bottom of the well so hot?

His movements were fully watched by Xie Wuyi, and Xie Wuyi explained: "Your Highness, I said that this is a trap, and this wall is metal, probably copper or something. ”

The round metal walls were as smooth as jade, and there was no way to borrow force, and with a raging fire burning outside, the temperature would rise faster than in other places, and now this dry well was like a ......

"Has Your Highness heard of the Five Cooked Cauldron Cauldron? Use copper as a pot, divide it into different areas, make a fire to cook different foods, and make barbecue when there is no water. Xie Wuyi laughed at the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, "Does Your Highness know what we will become in a while?" ”

Xiao Wei heard that she was still joking when she came to this situation, and couldn't help but answer: "Charcoal grilled couple?" ”

Xie Wuyi lowered his head and fell silent.

She was trapped at the bottom of the well as soon as she found the clue, is this providence? Does she really want to burn the charcoal with Xiao Wei and die in the fire?

Sweat oozed from his hair, and Xie Wuyi couldn't tell whether it was the fumigation of the heat or the fear of desperation.

A large, warm hand brushed her forehead, erasing all her suspicions.

Xiao Wei's low and soft voice sounded, "This well, can you escape alone?" ”

Xie Wuyi raised his head and estimated, his eyes were slightly dark, "This place is six or seven zhang high from the ground, and I am probably only one or two points sure of it, but ......"

But with Xiao Wei, he didn't even have this dichotomous grasp.

His kung fu is hard, and it is difficult to escape from the well, Xiao Wei naturally understands her hesitation. He gently hugged Xie Wuyi, held her hand like a dragonfly, and said decisively, "Then you can go." ”

Xie Wuyi's heart shook violently, and he couldn't help but hold his left wrist. Xiao Wei's hand covered her and wrapped her hands completely in the palm of her hand, "When you went out to find someone, you said that you heard that I came out to have fun, and you chased after me in a hurry." ”

"I'll wait for you."

The well was dim, Xie Wuyi stared at Xiao Wei in the thick red light, those eyes were as calm as water, and only such deep eyes were worthy of his flawless facial features.

An inexplicable throbbing wave rolled over her head.

"Your Highness, do you know why the agency would kill people?" Xie Wuyi said in a trembling voice, "Hua Niang and my master have both said that the terrible thing about the mechanism is that every link of it cannot be repeated. Even if I could climb to the mouth of the well and break through the boulder, I wouldn't have a second chance to take you out. ”

Xiao Wei still looked at her, not for a moment, and his tone did not have the slightest hesitation.

"It's okay, you go first."

Xie Wuyi's eyes were hot, all the way to the present, how could she leave him and leave? Xie Wuyi wiped his face indiscriminately, dispersing the mist that had just risen.

Never mind.

If you want to live, you will live together, and if you want to die, you will die together.

"I'm not leaving."

Xie Wuyi took a deep breath, the mechanism was a dead thing after all, and she didn't believe that there was still an organ in the world that had no flaws at all. She stood up and smiled at Xiao Wei, "Does Your Highness want to give it a try with me?" ”

Xiao Wei listened to Xie Wuyi's confident tone, and his subordinates couldn't help but separate her five fingers again and entangle them closely with her.

Unable to ignite the fire, Xie Wuyi could only take out the dagger and probe the environment at the bottom of the well inch by inch. As expected, the well was not a regular cylinder, and within ten paces of their fall there was another narrow passage.

"How do you know there's a fork in the road?" Xiao Wei asked in surprise.

"I said I guessed, did Your Highness believe it?" Xie Wuyi said as he explored the way, "The wall of the well above has been transformed, and there must have been irregular edges and corners when this well was first dug. A master will always go against common sense when designing a mechanism, for example, His Highness's reaction just now is what a normal person would do, but cracking the mechanism needs to be done the opposite. ”

Xiao Wei chewed Xie Wuyi's words repeatedly in his heart, obviously he took her hand first, but at this time, it was she who calmly solved the mystery in front and took the initiative to lead him to explore life step by step.

What about dead ends? He was willing to walk on her footprints.

Xie Wuyi cautiously pushed forward, but there was a wide trend at the end of the road. She stopped, reached out, and saw that it looked more like a mine-like structure that had been dug up.

"Where are sixty or seventy steps southwest of the thatched hut?"

Xiao Wei measured it in his heart, "It's probably the edge of the water pavilion." ”

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that they fell into a trap and walked around the pool?

"Almost." Xie Wuyi stepped on the stone wall and climbed up, "This should be a stone path built under the pond. ”

As she said earlier, if you want to break the master's mechanism, you can't follow the rules. When ordinary people fall into a well, they naturally try to climb out, but they ignore the possibility of exploring the "dead place".

Xie Wuyi laughed contemptuously, if it weren't for the copper pipe wall, she probably wouldn't have found this place so quickly, she really wanted to cover it up. If she built a deadly trap, she would set traps on ordinary masonry and stones, and people would crawl and crawl to the palace of the king of Hades.

They were already standing at the end of the stone path, and the next step was to find a way out. Xie Wuyi pushed, and above his head was a stone door that had been trimmed and immovable, and the two of them alone would definitely not be able to push it open.

"You can't get out of here," Xiao Wei suddenly said, "It's water up there." ”

Xie Wuyi sighed silently. He was right, for the sealed stone gate, the pond above was a thousand pounds of weight, and even ten or eight men working together would be useless. Xie Wuyi held on to the stone next to him, closing his eyes and thinking.

Come to think of it, there must be a way.

"By the way, how did Your Highness find me?"

Xiao Wei was a little puzzled, now that the two of them are at stake, she still has the leisure to ask this? However, Xiao Wei still replied truthfully: "My people found out that Fan Lanshu may not be dead, I wanted to take her back to the house, but I didn't expect someone to use Fan Lanshu as bait and borrow He Qianniu's hand to test your identity." ”

He Qiangniu.

Xie Wuyi couldn't help laughing, this nickname was in line with He Maoliang's temperament, but she still didn't understand what He Maoliang wanted to try her.

Xiao Wei looked up at her, "Didn't you hear that song in the Water Pavilion?" ”

Is the one that the singer sings?

"It's crepe, I don't understand." Xie Wuyi's subordinates did not stop, still looking for a breakthrough, "And how did Your Highness know that I came to Woxue Village, I shouldn't have woken up when you left, right?" ”

Now, there is no need for Xie Wuyi to hide and pretend to be unconscious to deceive him, and Xiao Wei doesn't need to explain to her that Wanchun Tower is on fire. The two tacitly unveiled the misunderstanding, and they no longer suspected each other.

As for how to know......

In fact, Xie Wuyi hid it very well, and Xiao Wei didn't notice her hiding in the tree behind the water pavilion at all. It's just that for some reason, he can sense her presence.

Whether it was through the dark night pavilion, or the bustling crowd, or the horizon of the cape, he could always recognize her direction at a glance.

Just like tonight, when Fan Lanshu came to pour him wine, Xiao Wei obviously felt that there was a cold gaze projected on the tree opposite the water pavilion, which taught him that his scalp was numb and his hair stood on end.

Xiao Wei froze and said vaguely: "I'll explain that song to you when I go back." In short, I deliberately poured wine on Fan Lanshu, I knew that you would go to her, and I was going to follow her immediately, but I didn't expect the fifth brother to come and delay the time. ”

Xie Wuyi's men paused, "Won't King Chu let me go?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Wei groaned, "According to the current situation, I suspect that He Qianniu was deceived by Chu Hanmeng. He's that person, if he finds something wrong, he has to get to the bottom of it, and he is so stubborn that he doesn't make sense at all. ”

Thinking of Xiaodi's identity, Xie Wuyi felt that this explanation made sense. According to He Maoliang's character, how can he not investigate the clues of the court's rebellion?

The stone caves were explored, and Xie Wuyi found nothing except for the two grooves that could barely accommodate him. She pouted and jumped down, a little deflated.

Xiao Wei held Xie Wuyi's arm and patted her back comfortingly.

The stone cave was getting hotter and hotter, the sweat on their clothes was steamed, and their bodies were also itchy and dry. Suddenly, Xie Wuyi had a flash of inspiration and grabbed Xiao Wei's hand suddenly.

"I thought of it!" Her tone was a little excited, "Your Highness has a fire fold, right?" ”

Xiao Wei didn't feel it. Xie Wuyi was right, if there was really a gas exploding in an open flame under the dry well, could they use the fire fold to ignite the gas, use this power to blow open the stone gate, and wait for the water to rush into the stone path before escaping from the pond?

The air waves in the confined environment, the scorching fire, the solidity of the stone door, the situation outside...... Everything is unknown. This method is tantamount to extracting teeth from the tiger's mouth, but now they really have no other way out.

"Your Highness," Xie Wuyi no longer hesitated, "it is inevitable to be roasted to death, and there is still a glimmer of life if you are blown up." Would you like to make a bet with me? ”

In the dark, Xiao Wei couldn't see Xie Wuyi's expression, but the hot temperature that belonged to her was ironed in his palm along the slightly trembling knuckles. Xiao Wei lowered his head and silently held Xie Wuyi, letting the heat flow that was even hotter than fire surging in his heart.

"I do."

He replied with great seriousness, word for word.

Even if he was about to die with her, he was willing.

"Okay." Xie Wuyi took Xiao Wei's hand and pressed it to the top of the stone cave, "Listen to me, these two grooves can be hidden, pay attention to holding your breath when the stone door explodes." If we can get out, we'll split up right away. I'll go back to the house first, can His Highness handle it here? ”

Xiao Wei opened his mouth, how could he ignore Xie Wuyi at the moment of life and death? But Xiao Wei also knew that her plan was more secure, if He Maoliang really wanted to test Xie Wuyi, she should not appear in Woxuezhuang. He shook Xie Wuyi's hand vigorously and said in a deep voice:

"Yes."

Today's Xiao Wei was extremely obedient, and Xie Wuyi didn't say much, and felt the fire fold from his waist. After the two of them hid in the groove, Xie Wuyi hooked the fire fold with the candle bone and threw it towards the passage from which he came.

In the distance, there was the sound of sparks, and then a deafening explosion sounded, and the light of the fire, which was as bright as day, was swept away by the rolling waves of air, filling the entire stone cave.

The flames suddenly burst out, and the wind that was dozens of times hotter than before rushed to their faces, Xiao Wei and Xie Wuyi clung to the protruding stone, so that they were not overturned by the force that stirred the heavens and the earth.

Boom –

The stone gate burst in half under the violent impact, and the moment the torrent poured in, Xie Wuyi shouted:

"Let's go!"

In response to her voice, Xiao Wei's figure almost subconsciously bounced up from the ground, jumping out against the turbulent current.

In a hurry, Xiao Wei glanced back, and Xie Wuyi, who was supposed to be close behind, was staring at somewhere in shock.

In the next second, her figure disappeared.
