Chapter 060: Step by Step
Xiao Yi and Mu Qingchen looked at each other, looking at the coldness in Mu Qingchen's eyes, doubts gradually rose in their hearts, and their faces were silent: "It's a pity that the mechanism of the gate has been accidentally destroyed by me and I can't get out." β
"Yes, so we can only go inside, go to the top of the Scripture Pavilion and jump through the window. Qingchen nodded, feeling that the arm around his waist was tightening more and more, but he didn't say much.
"Someone trespassed into the Scripture Pavilion, go and tell the emperor-"
As soon as Qingchen's words fell, he heard the voice of the forbidden army outside, and the two glanced at each other again, seeing a trace of urgency in each other's eyes.
No time!
"The first emperor has issued a ban, no edict is allowed to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, these forbidden troops cannot enter for the time being, before Xiao Ling comes, we have a tea time to go out. Qingchen spoke again.
Xiao Yi looked at Mu Qingchen, who was clinging to him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile: "The princess seems to be very scared, and only at such a time can this king get closer to the princess." β
"You!" Qingchen was angry, he never thought that Xiao Yi would still have the heart to joke when he was in such a hurry.
If it weren't for Tianjizi's transformation of the safe position in the Scripture Pavilion to allow only one person to pass through in the past, she would not have clinged to Xiao Yi like this, I am afraid that she would have slapped it a long time ago.
"Where I'm standing now, but it's the only place in the entire hall that doesn't trigger the mechanism?" Xiao Yi quickly figured out the reason and asked.
"That's right, Tianjizi's secret weapon kills the machine step by step, if you don't want to die here, don't take it lightly. Qingchen said, "If you want to leave safely, the only way now is for you to hold me and I will show the way, otherwise we won't be able to get out." β
"But at the Princess's command. Xiao Yi seemed to enjoy this moment, obviously not a flamboyant person, and it was not a time to joke, but Xiao Yi still had a light expression, so he said this, and picked up Qingchen horizontally and hugged him in his arms.
Qingchen ignored him anymore, and in order to block Xiao Yi's sight, he had to lean on his arms and lean his head on Xiao Yi's chest.
"There are three floors in the Scripture Pavilion, and the exit is only the door of the first floor and the window of the third floor, and there is a mechanism on each floor, and the way to touch it is different, and the direction of the hidden weapon is different. The hidden weapon on the first layer is a rain of arrows, the second layer is an iron cage covered with cone thorns, and the third layer is a poison dart. Yat, you move two steps to the front right, four steps forward, and one step to the right. β
Qingchen opened his mouth coldly, Xiao Yi did not hesitate, moved according to Qingchen's instructions, and approached the stairs step by step, but he did not touch the mechanism again, and no arrow rain hit again.
"What's next? If you want to go up this staircase, it shouldn't be that simple, right?" Xiao Yi stopped in front of the stairs with Qingchen in his arms, waiting for Qingchen's next instructions.
"The stairs can only bear the weight of one person at a time, if you take me, you can't go up, if you don't take me, with your martial arts, you may be able to fight. Qingchen spoke.
She and Xiao Yi entered the Scripture Pavilion at the same time, thinking that with her familiarity with the Scripture Pavilion, she would be safe and sound, but she didn't expect Xiao Yat to touch the mechanism, although the matter started because of Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yat also rescued her without hesitation at the moment when the arrow rain shot at her, causing the current situation.
"The princess doesn't need to worry about this, just say how to go. Xiao Yi spoke.
"Don't step on the first stairs, go straight to the second step, step on the right, the middle of the third step, and the left of the fourth step...... In this order, the upper layers are the same. Qingchen opened his mouth without hesitation and looked at Xiao Yi.
She had already informed her of the method of going up the stairs, and if Xiao Yat threw her back into the hall on the first floor at this time, Xiao Yat would be able to leave on his own, as for whether he could avoid the hidden weapon when passing through the middle halls, it was Xiao Yat's own ability.
But...... She's gambling.
"The princess is holding on. Xiao Yi suddenly smiled, hugged Qingchen tighter with one hand, performed light skills, reduced the weight of the two on the stairs, and climbed the stairs according to the method Qingchen said.
Everything was just in a moment, the two of them had just reached the second floor, and there were already a lot of candles outside the Scripture Pavilion, thinking that it should be the nearby forbidden army that surrounded the gate of the Scripture Pavilion.
"The thieves can't get out inside, does the emperor have a holy decree?" asked Meng Fei, the commander of the forbidden army, outside.
"Commander Meng has already sent someone to tell the emperor. Someone below replied.
"Perform light skills, borrow the strength of the first pillar on the left three feet from the ground, and land in the middle of the hall, quick!" Qingchen listened to the movement outside and spoke again.
Xiao Yi no longer hesitated, flew up, tapped his left foot on the pillar, and with the help of his body, he would land in the middle of the hall, surrounded by candle flames, and his face was rarely serious.
"The last one into four, the left two, the first three, go. Qingchen spoke again.
While listening to Qingchen's words, Xiao Yi didn't stop at his feet, and quickly walked to the stairs, without hesitation, according to the method that Qingchen just said, he directly crossed the third floor.
The moment Xiao Yi's feet stepped into the third layer, he heard a slight sound in the dark, as if something was about to move, the two glanced at each other, and a trace of uneasiness crossed Qingchen's heart.
"Originally, there would be no problem with taking this step, but Xiao Ling actually changed the mechanism on the third layer. Qingchen's eyes flashed slightly, "Xiao Yi, you let me down, the third layer is a poison dart, you should be careful." β
After Qingchen finished speaking, he jumped down from Xiao Yi's body and landed lightly, and at the same time, Fang Cai's sound gradually became louder, only two sounds were heard, and a poison dart was shot from the left and right sides, directly approaching Qingchen and Xiao Yi's chest.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yi pulled Qingchen over and held her shoulder, and the two of them bent down at the same time, dodging the two poison darts.
But the third layer is the most dense layer of the hidden weapon of the entire Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the mechanism has been touched, and the hidden weapon is non-stop, and the cold dart is glowing with a trace of blue light, and Qingchen knows that it is the poison of the seven leaf panty.
Seven leaves of pansy a flower seven leaves, seven leaves are highly poisonous, eroding bone rotten muscle, only flowers can be solved, but the flowers bloom in the middle of the summer night for three minutes, outdated withering, extremely rare.
Xiao Ling changed the mechanism of the third layer, even Ye Tingcheng, who was extremely familiar with the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in the past, could not help it, and the hidden weapons shot out from all sides carried a powerful wind-breaking sound, mercilessly.
Qingchen relied on her dexterous posture to maneuver around, dodging and dodging, but she was still invincible to this dense secret weapon, a poisonous dart almost brushed against her sideburns, only half a point away, and this stunning face turned into no salt in an instant.
As Qingchen turned around, he dodged the hidden weapon on the left, but the hidden weapons behind followed, Qingchen's figure had just stabilized, and it was too late to dodge, but he saw Xiao Yi rise in the air, push out with both palms, and use internal force to repel a part of the hidden weapon, slowing down the momentum of the poison dart, and easily brought Qingchen into his arms, and spun and landed by the window.
The poisonous dart kept coming, and the moment Xiao Yi stood still, it shot straight into his left arm, and the azure blue robe was corroded by the poison of the seven-leaf pansy, and the black poisonous blood oozed out in an instant, shocking.
"You ......" Qingchen was shocked, she clearly saw that Xiao Yi had already arrived at the window before he rescued her.
"Let's get out of here. Xiao Yi pulled out the poison dart and threw it on the ground, his expression remained unchanged, he said coldly, and then jumped from the window with Mu Qingchen.
At the moment when the two of them jumped out of the Scripture Pavilion, Mu Qingchen seemed to hear the sound of the door of the Scripture Pavilion opening from outside, and she knew that it was Xiao Ling who had arrived.
The two of them didn't stop for a moment, instantly lifted their breath, and used their light skills to the extreme, and they actually returned to the Guimo Pavilion faster than when they came.
"Lou...... The princess ...... "When the night died saw Qingchen coming back, she subconsciously spoke, but when she saw Xiao Yi next to her, the word blurted out was swallowed back alive and changed her mouth.
"You go and lure Xiao Ling away, you are not his opponent, you can't fight, just lead away. Qingchen instructed Ye Di, and then helped Xiao Yi to the bed and sat down.
Although Xiao Yi was surprised, the numb pain in his arm had made him feel a little unbearable.
"The poison dart in the Pavilion must have let him know that someone was injured. Xiao Yi's face was a little pale, and he said.
"Princess, the slave and maid brought the sobering soup. Aunt Qiu's voice sounded outside.
Qingchen raised his head suddenly, looked at Xiao Yi, and said, "Xiao Yi, do you trust me?"
"In the Scripture Pavilion, we can even give our lives to each other, what else can't be trusted?" Xiao Yi's mouth was filled with a smile, indifferent.
"Good. Qingchen said, letting Xiao Yi lie down and pretend that nothing had happened.
Aunt Qiu came in with a sobering soup, looked at Qingchen's slightly messy hair, and was a little puzzled, but she saw Xiao Yi lying motionless on the bed, so she was relieved.
"Princess, let the slaves and maids serve the prince. Aunt Qiu spoke.
"I'll take care of you, Aunt Qiu, I just heard that there seems to be movement outside, you go and see what's going on." Qingchen said, waving Aunt Qiu away.
After Aunt Qiu went out, Qingchen helped Xiao Yi to get up, glanced at Xiao Yi, grabbed his injured arm, aimed at the wound, and poured a bowl of hot sobering soup down like this.
Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly constricted, and when he watched Qingchen finish all this without changing his face, his forehead was already sweating profusely, which showed that he was extremely forbearing.
"The princess is so courageous. Xiao Yiqiang endured the pain in his arm and spoke.
"If Xiao Ling didn't suspect it, he had to hide it, they should come, you know what to do. After Qingchen finished speaking, he threw the bowl in his hand on the ground and shattered it in response.
Xiao Yi lay down again, and Xiao Xizi at the door heard the movement and pushed the door in: "What does the princess command?"
"Look at me clumsy, and I can't take care of people, the decanting soup that Aunt Qiu brought just now just wanted to serve the prince, but I accidentally broke it and burned the prince. Mu Qingchen had a guilty expression on his face, and he was divided into three points, "Xiao Xizi, you can clean up here, and then go and serve a bowl of decanting soup." β
"The minions obeyed. Xiao Xizi stepped forward, picked up the debris on the ground with his hands and feet, turned around and retreated, but at the moment of going out, he was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The emperor is auspiciousββ"
Qingchen's heart tightened, but he stood by the bed without a trace, slightly blocking Xiao Yi, and bowed to Xiao Ling: "Qingchen sees the emperor-"
