Chapter 213: Inside the Dungeon (1)
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Ding Ruoyan and Feng Lin obviously didn't agree with Qiu Dui's idea, but they didn't know what to say.
The Clan Courtyard was another place for disciples who did not have the ability to enter the core of the clan. Although it was subordinate to the imperial court, it was actually biased towards the clan itself. There are some things that everyone knows and don't need to be picked up directly.
But what Qiu Dui wanted in her heart was to change the current unspoken rules so that the clan could truly be used by the imperial court, which was obviously unacceptable to the existence of the Ten Masters Society, who had always been celibate.
"You don't have to look at me like that, it's something I've decided a long time ago. If I have the opportunity to become famous in the future, I would like to be known by Dongzhou as a native of the Southern Continent than the Taiji Sword Sect Qiu Dusk. ”
"It seems that the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has hope for the Tunanguo clan must be because of the existence of someone like Qiu Dusk. Su Mu couldn't help but think.
"If I can't tell you, then I'll go to the dungeon first. "Feng Lin is a little helpless.
"No, we'd better go together this time. I don't know if there are enemies in the dungeon, so it's a bit safer. Autumn Twilight said.
"What do we mean?"
"I, you, Ruoyan, Su Mu. ”
"I'll go too?" Su Mu was a little surprised, he knew very well that his strength was still a little behind the other three, and he himself preferred to stay by Senior Sister Otowa's side to take care of her, but now he was automatically counted as one of them.
"Hmm. A few of us have a strong ability to save our lives, so we should be able to deal with any situation. All the other disciples stayed here to take care of the wounded, and I had already instructed the disciples of the Taiji Sword Sect to take on the duty of guarding. The inner hall of the clan courtyard is on the slope of the weeping Yang Ridge, the view is excellent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you encounter an enemy attack, you can react as soon as possible, we go and return quickly, and it should be fine in a short time. ”
After deciding on the decision, the four of them immediately set off to the deepest part of the study, took out the token placed in the storage cabinet and placed it on the groove in the wall, and sure enough, after a click of the mechanism, the door of the secret passage has appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There was a fire burning in the dark tunnel, and the visibility was much better than the tunnel of the Ziji Temple. The four of them glanced at each other and entered together.
The tunnels are very secluded, and only the sound of rain dripping can be heard clearly. The four of them did not dare to be careless for a moment, and concentrated on guarding against possible enemies.
Qiu Du saw that Su Mu beside him was still a little hesitant at this time, so she comforted him and said, "Actually, if you are really not at ease, you can also bring your junior sister with you, and it is not difficult for the four of us to protect her and believe." ”
"Not really. I don't know what kind of danger I will encounter in the dungeon, so I prefer to let my sister stay. Su Mu explained, "I'm just wondering if it's necessary for us to stay here and investigate more since the enemy's real target is in Luojing." ”
"I have your concerns in mind. Frankly, if the enemy had been decisive enough, they would have been in action since we first entered the cave. More than three hours have passed since the full dozen, and it is impossible for us to catch up with them, so there is no need to rush back now. ”
"In addition, the enemy is dragging us back with those strange people mainly to prevent us from reporting to our respective clans, and we ourselves can't actually have an impact on the situation in Luojing, they are only afraid of the clans behind us. Now that the situation in Luojing is unclear, the worst-case scenario is likely to be in the enemy's blockade, and instead of going back to die, it is better to find a way to >>
Find out what's going on and make a decision. ”
Su Mu sighed, he knew that Qiu Dui's idea was the most reasonable, but out of personal feelings, Aunt Lingxi, the crown prince and others were all in Luojing at this time, and he had far more information than everyone else, so it was more urgent.
Originally, Su Mu didn't plan to tell the whole story, but now that the situation is changing rapidly, Luo Jingjing may have had an accident, and he has no reason to hide it. After thinking about it again and again, he finally told Qiu Du and others all about the collusion of the Mo family, Zuo Xiang and others.
With the friendship of life and death in the cave before, and listening to Qiu Dusk's speech on the relationship between the clan and the country, Su Mu believed that these Heavenly Proud Sons of the Tunan Kingdom would not do anything unfavorable to themselves and the Tunan Kingdom.
Before the possible national disaster, everyone was just a part of the Tunan Kingdom, and the clan consciousness was much weaker.
"I really didn't expect Zuo Xiang to be such a person," Qiu Dui listened, and his tone was already very heavy.
The details of what Su Mu said were specific and logical, and it was impossible for him to make it up on the spot, and at the same time, Su Mu also explained that although he belonged to the Hanshan Sword Sect, he had joined the prince's sect and became a guest. The crown prince accepted himself in order to enter the top ten by himself, so that he could deal with the turmoil that could occur on the subsequent clan ceremony, so Su Mu didn't want to be overexposed before.
But at present, the turmoil of Chen Shaojie and others is very likely to advance, and it is obviously time not to expose it.
"Such a traitor! How dare to do such a hurtful thing, how can he be the minister of a country?" When the hot-tempered Feng Lin heard what Su Mu said, when Chen Shaojie used the little girl among the Tunan people as a bargaining chip to seek help from Qing Yanguo, he was immediately furious, and couldn't help but scold.
"Damn!" Ding Ruoyan didn't say anything, but he just clenched his fists secretly, and the true qi on his body began to fluctuate uncontrollably. A memory that has been buried deep in my heart and does not want to be recalled.
Ding Ruoyan is an orphan who was adopted by the Thunder Sword Sect, this matter is known to the world, but what people don't know is that Ding Ruoyan originally had a younger sister, and the two had been living together in the slums when they were very young.
Until one day, when Ding Ruoyan returned to the two's home with food, he found that his sister was missing.
The only relative who depended on each other did not leave any notes or clues, and just evaporated from the world. Ding Ruoyan, who was only seven years old at the time, went crazy to the street to look for it.
Ding Ruoyan's home was in the northern villages and towns where thunderstorms were frequent, and it was raining heavily that day as it is now, and one thunderbolt after another continued to fall in the gloomy sky, and Ding Ruoyan searched for it aimlessly and tirelessly, until he lost consciousness and fainted in the mountains and forests, and was found by the head of the Thunder Sword Sect who was feeling the power of thunder here.
At that time, Ding Ruoyan fainted in the area with the most dense thunder, and countless thunderbolts fell beside him, but none of them hit him, all the thunderbolts seemed to deliberately avoid this child, just kept dancing around him, and the scene was as if the thunder was showing love and pity to this child.
Since then, Ding Ruoyan has been accepted by the Thunder Sword Sect and has begun the legendary road of his own proud son of the sky.
Over the years, the Thunder Sword Sect has also been using its connections to help Ding Ruoyan find his sister, but nothing has been found.
Thinking that his sister was likely to be like the little girls Su Mu said, she had become a bargaining chip for the dirty deal of the adulterer, and Ding Ruoyan's anger surged into his heart.
