"Ning, do you know what you're doing? Why don't you go out of town obediently and come back for what? ”

Ning Ji looked at his hand that was thrown away, and a fire rushed up, he risked not being able to get out and sink into the bottom of the city with Beimu's group to come back to save him, could it be his fault? He was scared along the way, and now he thinks about it funny.

What did he come back for? Could it be that he was going to yell out in front of him that he had come back to save him? Ning Qi almost thought that his appearance here at this moment was a joke:

"Okay, it's that I'm worried about it too much, the prince is in the secret passage, it's a big move for me to come back."

The anger accumulated in Ning Yao's heart roared out at once, Dark Xuan lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, Yan Yunzhou also calmed down, took the initiative to bow his head, and raised his hand to pull Ning Yao:

"Yu'an, I'm sorry."

This time, he shook off his hand, this situation made him feel embarrassed for no reason, and his mind was full of Yan Yunzhou's reproach just now, so that he didn't think about why Yan Yunzhou said this, he raised his head and walked forward.

Yan Yunzhou subconsciously turned around to chase him, but it was the dark Xuan who was kneeling on the ground who escaped, and he quickly stood up and followed.

Ning Ji took a few steps to calm down, and realized that something was wrong, Yan Yunzhou should not be so angry because they disobeyed the order.

Although there is indeed a secret passage here, he doesn't know if the secret passage is really safe, could it be that there is something wrong with this secret passage?

Yan Yunzhou didn't walk fast, but he was in a hurry to chase Ning Jiao, and almost slipped, Ning Jiao stopped his steps and turned his head after he figured it out, seeing Yan Yunzhou's messy steps, he was still a little unbearable after all.

"Since we have already come, did the prince say that you left a letter and asked for double the amount of medicine, is there something strange about this secret passage?"

At this point, there was no point in Yan Yunzhou hiding it anymore, he leaned against the clammy and cold wall on the side, and Dark Xuan also looked over, Yan Yunzhou sighed and spoke:

"No one has ever walked through this secret passage since it was built, after all, almost thirty years have passed, and I'm not sure if the mechanism behind this can really be activated, and the letter left behind is prepared, you two..."

Yan Yunzhou knew that Dark Xuan might be impulsive, so he deliberately handed over the letter to him and entrusted Ning Xuan to him, so even if Dark Xuan wanted to stay again, he would escort Ning Xuan out of the city for his last wishes, but he never thought that Ning Xuan would come back.

Ning Qi's heart sank slightly, so Yan Yunzhou was gambling when he decided to take this path, so he arranged everything in advance.

If you tell him to let him go to Youzhou, where there are fields, shops, and the care of King Jingjun, he left the dark Xuan to him, and his anxious tone just now can be explained.

He walked over, looked at Yan Yunzhou's already white lips, and wrapped the quilt in his hand around him, his movements were very considerate, but his face was surprisingly cold:

"It's great, the prince decided to gamble with his life for the soldiers in the city, but have you forgotten what I've been doing for so many days? I want to save you with a bald head, and risk poisoning to get you medicine, you are sympathetic to the soldiers of Suizhou, risking your life, is it difficult to inform me in advance of the doctor? ”

Ning Ji couldn't figure out where the anger that rushed to his head in his heart came from, he had spent so much time, and all he was thinking about in his mind every day these days was how to make sulfonamide and how to save him.

It was almost a chemical reaction that he was dreaming about, and the result was that when he finally prepared the materials with great effort, Yan Yunzhou was already buried in the secret passage, and the more he thought about it, the bigger the fire became:

"Does the prince want to wait for my medicine to be made and burn it for you?"

Ning Xuan's words were more and more impulsive, and Dark Xuan did not dare to get involved in the quarrel between the two, and tried to reduce the sense of existence as much as possible.

Yan Yunzhou was also a little speechless by Ning Ji's words, he had different thoughts about Ning Ji, he knew that Ning Ji was actually a soft-hearted person, even if he had no other thoughts about himself.

But if he knew the risk he was going to take, I am afraid that he would also be full of uneasiness, it was he who was selfish, and if he didn't have much time left, he hoped that the last time with Ning Ji would be at least happy and happy.

Even if he really can't get out in the end, Ning Yi may be sad for a while, but slowly he will accept this accident.

But he never thought that Ning Ji would come back at this juncture, his hand pinched the quilt that Ning Ji had draped on his body, and his voice was difficult:

"Yu'an, I'm sorry, it's me who didn't think about it..."

Ning Yi didn't want to listen to him like this, and even he didn't know what he wanted Yan Yunzhou to say at this moment, he suppressed his emotions, after all, now was not the time to speak.

He closed his eyes and waved his hand, and when he opened them again, his cold and hard expression did not ease much:

"Let's go out and talk about it, let's go first."

A few people walked along the secret passage, Ning Qi had the heart to ask about the situation of this secret passage, but now he was really reluctant to talk to him, but fortunately, Dark Xuan finally spoke with some eyes:

"Lord Wang, this secret passage is in the old prince's room, why hasn't it been used for so many years?"

If he usually tried to walk around and knew the specific situation of the secret passage, he would not gamble on his life at this juncture, this question is also what Ning Yi wanted to ask, he walked in front and slowed down his pace and pricked up his ears, and secretly supported Yan Yunzhou, only to hear Yan Yunzhou speak slowly:

"The emperor once warned me that if Suizhou did not reach the last step, I should not open the secret passage, I also asked him why at that time, if the secret passage to Suizhou may be more hidden, the emperor shook his head and just showed me the last section of the design of the secret passage."

Ning Xuan turned his head, and Dark Xuan spoke in time:

"What's in the last drawing?"

Yan Yunzhou raised his gaze and looked at the dark distance of this secret passage:

"The last piece of the design shows that the last connection to this secret passage is not an exit at all, but a dark river."

The author has something to say:

Very good, the prince has provoked Director Ning

Chapter 52: Rescue

Hearing this, Ning Qi's eyebrows furrowed, and his voice came up a little:

"Dark River? The end of this secret passage leads to the Dark River? So, my lord, are you going to swim over? ”

Ning Qi was almost laughing angrily now, with Yan Yunzhou's current body, he didn't bother to estimate the probability of swimming from the dark river and going ashore alive.

Is this what he called escaping through a secret passage? He was called to the secret passage to die, and even Dark Xuan's expression was already nervous.

Yan Yunzhou watched Ning Qi's anger soar again, and then spoke:

"It's usually that this secret passage leads to the Dark River, so this is also the reason why this secret passage has not been used for so many years.

This secret passage was originally prepared for the Suizhou authorities once they activated the escape, and they usually didn't need it, and the only opportunity to use it was to activate the organs in the city, when the entire Suizhou City sank into the ground.

According to the original design, once Suizhou City sinks, the mechanism of a pontoon bridge in this secret passage will be opened, and a pontoon bridge will float above the dark river, which is not large, and may be able to accommodate a few people to pass, so this secret passage cannot allow the soldiers to retreat together. ”

But when he said this, Yan Yunzhou still sighed:

"It's just that after all, it's been almost thirty years since this designed mechanism, and there is no chance to verify this mechanism, so I'm not sure if this mechanism can be activated now."

Yan Yunzhou leaned against the rock on the edge of the secret passage with some weakness, the quilt wrapped around his body made his body a little hotter, the mechanisms in this city were all from the handwriting of the master back then, and that person was extremely trusted by the first emperor.

The design drawings in his hand are also complete, if this mechanism was back then, there must be no problem, but thirty years have passed, and he really can't say whether the mechanism can be activated, so he will leave those letters and explain what happened after his death.

Ning Qi pursed his lips slightly, the pontoon bridge can't allow a few people to pass, and there is no guarantee that it can still be used, so this is the reason why Yan Yunzhou didn't bring anyone and was ready to take risks alone.

He raised his eyes and looked at the entire secret passage, and he could see from the wall that it was very neatly excavated back then, and the wall of the secret passage was very smooth, and he was able to use the sinking of Suizhou City to float a pontoon bridge?

Even Ning Qi couldn't help but sigh at the boldness of this idea, if this pontoon bridge could really be raised, it was really an ingenious design, so Yan Yunzhou really didn't lie to them.

He paused for a moment before speaking:

"Let's move on, then."

Ning Xuan was alone in front, and Dark Xuan was behind him helping Yan Yunzhou to walk slowly, and everyone's hearts were looking forward to the pontoon bridge being sure to float.

The further you go, the more obvious the water on the ground becomes, from a faintly slippery place to a low-lying place that can already accumulate small puddles.

The humid air will make people's body feel the temperature drop, Yan Yunzhou's legs and knees can't stand the dampness and cold, and his steps are getting slower and slower at this moment.

Dark Xuan whispered and wanted to let him rest, but Yan Yunzhou looked at the figure walking in front of him and shook his head slightly, Ning Xuan couldn't hear the increasingly procrastinating footsteps behind him, and he also stopped:

"Take a break, does the prince know how long this road is?"

Yan Yunzhou stopped and couldn't help but lower his head and rub his sore knees, and raised his eyes to look at Ning Yao:

"According to the mark on the map, it should be about three miles to reach the dark river..."

Before he finished his words, his expression immediately turned sharp, and the saber on his side was pulled out and slashed towards Ning Qi's ear, Ning Qi only felt that the wind knife that was swinging out was going to cut his face, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to dodge.

As soon as the knife fell, Ning Yi heard a cry that seemed to be an animal, and then something seemed to fall in his ears.

Yan Yunzhou took a step forward and pulled the person to his side, and the goosebumps that Ning Zhi had to rise when he heard that scream:

"What's that?"

Yan Yunzhou pointed at the thing that had fallen to the ground with the knife in his hand, and in this dark, dark and damp hole, he thought for a moment whether it would be a snake or something.

He had an aversion and fear of that cartilage thing that humans had engraved in his DNA, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and lean forward slightly with the fire fold.

Then he saw a grayish-brown mass on the ground, and he looked closely at the last place where he recognized it from the wing:

"Bats?"

Indeed, in this dark and damp cave, it really seemed like a place where bats like to stay, Yan Yunzhou's gaze was obviously a lot more vigilant when it fell on the bat on the ground, and his hand subconsciously pulled Ning Ji to his side:

"Be careful, these things come in groups."

Ning Yi also thought about it, yes, bats live in groups, and this thing can be called a mobile virus library, although it itself is not poisonous, but it carries a variety of viruses that can make people zoonotic, once infected in this era, it is difficult for the gods to save it.

The dark Xuan behind him had also taken out his sword to guard against it, and Ning Xuan spoke:

"Don't touch it, let's go."

Yan Yunzhou didn't let Ning Xuan go in front alone this time, but kept holding people's arms, and Ning Qi also knew that in this case, Dark Xuan and Yan Yunzhou could still protect themselves.

He didn't have any chance of winning against the bat, and he would have to be bitten if he didn't get a bite, and he was really a little stunned by that thing, but he didn't break free of the hand that Yan Yunzhou was holding him.

"There are voices."

In the empty secret passage, any sound will be infinitely amplified by people's senses, Dark Xuan leaned back against Yan Yunzhou, the sight of the two people could cover almost all the surrounding positions, and the humming sound was getting closer and closer:

"Here they are."

In the already dark secret passage, the gray-brown color of the bats was the best cover-up, but the sound couldn't be faked, making people listen to the hairs standing upright, the group of bats attacked, Yan Yunzhou and Dark Xuan's knives were impenetrable, and bats kept falling around them, and some even fell on Ning Yao's clothes.

Ning Qi screamed uncontrollably, his hand kept flicking his sleeve, and quickly threw out the bats on his body, there was already a layer of goosebumps on his arms, and the cry of the beheaded bat in his ears made his brows furrow.

In the next second, a quilt was directly covered on his head, and then the whole person was hugged by an arm, and in his ears was the voice that was panting but inexplicably able to calm him down:

"Don't be afraid."

Yan Yunzhou's voice was mixed with a light cough, the quilt was covered on Ning Qi's head, he couldn't see anything, the quilt was such a peculiar thing, when he was a child, he was afraid to watch ghost movies and get into the quilt, but now that his head was covered with a quilt, Ning Ji also calmed down instantly, and suddenly spoke:

"With fire, they are afraid of fire."

His muffled voice came from the quilt, and Dark Xuan waved the knife in one hand and took out a handful of fire folds on his body with the other, and ignited it with the one in Yan Yunzhou's hand, and the firelight illuminated the cave for a moment, and the bat that still wanted to pounce on it retreated a little in the firelight.

As more and more of his companions died under Yan Yunzhou and the Dark Xuan Knife, the bat team began to retreat, and the knife in Yan Yunzhou's hand could finally be put down.

Such an action caused a tearing pain in the wound on his chest, and he coughed constantly, but he still raised his hand and patted the person covered with the quilt:

"Alright, come out."

Ning Ji lifted the quilt above his head, and looked at the ground through the firelight in the hands of the two people, there were bats all over the ground, and he didn't have the creepy feeling of seeing the dead people, it was really a little disgusting.

Then he looked up at Yan Yunzhou:

"How are you? Is the wound on the chest painful? ”
