"I didn't mean to lie to you, but the county lord wouldn't let me say, and I'm not sure if they went to that place or not. Li Yihuan tugged at the corner of Xu Ming's clothes and said with some grievances.

"I know, I know, you've said it all the way. Xu Ming looked helplessly at Li Yihuan, who was following closely behind him, as if he had done something wrong, and said softly.

The moon is in the sky, and the moon is like water, which is really not a suitable night for night walking. But there is no way, with the intensification of the search in Weiwu Town, Li Yihuan is about to be unable to hide.

Xu Ming didn't think about handing over Li Yihuan to Li Mu, but every time he saw this petite little girl, he couldn't be ruthless. I don't know if it's Li Yihuan's deliberate exaggeration, in her mouth, Li Muhuo is like a ruthless trafficker. Of course, Xu Ming didn't believe it. But Li Yihuan, this little girl, is a ghost, and if she is handed over, it is still unknown whether she can be powerful. Moreover, Li Yihuan said that he also knew the secret passage of the City Lord's Mansion, and he could take Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan out.

"Let's go out first, it's really not okay to find the county lord and Chu Feng first, and then think about it in the long run. Xu Ming made up his mind and agreed to Li Yihuan to follow him, and Guan Chunuan had no other way and agreed to Li Yihuan's request.

A group of three people, just like that, took advantage of the "night" to sneak into the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion at night was terrifyingly quiet. When Xu Ming came during the day a few days ago, there were still some girls in the house who laughed and talked with his subordinates, and he could hear some birds and insects chirping in private. The current City Lord's Mansion was silent at all, and Xu Ming could even hear the sound of moonlight falling on the walls.

"Why is there no sound at all?" Xu Ming asked Li Yihuan in a low voice.

Li Yihuan was accustomed to it: "The City Lord's Mansion was given to the Duke of the Kingdom by the Holy Lord, so it is naturally bigger to reflect the emperor's bearing." But there are not many people in the City Lord's Mansion, except for the City Lord and the County Lord, and there are only about 20 people in total. And this place has been abandoned for a long time, and at night, it is normal that there is no one. ”

Xu Ming nodded, and continued to walk forward.

They came to an abandoned firewood house.

"Is this here?" Xu Ming asked Li Yihuan as he looked at the rusty iron chain hanging on the door.

Li Yihuan nodded: "This is it." ”

Xu Ming leaned over and looked at the lock on the firewood door. There are obvious traces of recent passivity on the lock, and it is thought that it was left by Chu Feng from here before he left Weiwu Town.

"Okay, let's go. Xu Ming pinched out a soundproofing trick and opened the door of the firewood room.

When I opened the door, there was no dust on my face, and there were even a few scenes of spider webs hanging from them. But the "squeak" sound when opening the door is really not small. The firewood room was surprisingly clean, with withered yellow thatch on the floor and a few bundles of ashed firewood beside the walls.

"Follow me. Li Yihuan said, leading the two to the depths of the firewood room.

Xu Ming snapped his fingers, and a flame appeared on the tip of his index finger. He turned around and closed the door and kept up with Li Yihuan's pace.

Li Yihuan walked to a bundle of firewood in the corner of the firewood room. She pointed to the bundle of wood in front of her: "Move it away, the entrance to the secret passage is underneath." ”

Xu Ming looked at Li Yihuan and Guan Chunuan, who were looking at him, and sighed helplessly: "Come on, I'll move." ”

The firewood was removed, and the square iron plate was exposed. Lifting the iron plate, there is a circular gap underneath, and the inside is black and winter, like a bottomless pit.

"Are you sure it's here?" Xu Ming looked at the darkness below, a little stunned.

Li Yihuan looked at him and smiled: "It's here, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid of a hammer!" Xu Ming's heart was horizontal and jumped down first.

"Fuck it, my ass!"

"I don't need a ladder, I deserve it!"

......

"They're gone, Guogong. In the main room of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Mu was sitting at his desk reading a book. The man dressed as a soldier at the next step knelt on one knee and bowed his head to report to Li Mu.

"Got it, go down. Li Mu waved his hand and sent the soldiers back.

"Chu Feng, Xu Ming. Li Mu suddenly laughed, "This time Da Liang is interesting!"

......

"I****, this secret passage is really difficult to walk, dark and damp. I have every reason to suspect that what I just stepped on was the corpse of a mouse!" Xu Ming scolded and scolded, pushing the stone slab on his head and crawling out of the secret passage.

"Okay, don't grind, I used to walk through this secret passage every once in a while, and I've never seen any of the strange things you said about mice, leeches, and bats. Li Yihuan also walked out of the secret passage and patted the ash on his hands easily.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Chunuan also walked out of the secret passage.

On the other side of the passage is a ruined ancestral hall, and the exit is just below a small Buddha statue next to the ancestral hall.

According to Li Yihuan, this secret passage was discovered when she made a mistake with the county lord when she was a child and was locked up. The place where they were confined was the firewood house in the city lord's mansion, and later the two little girls accidentally discovered this secret passage leading to the outside of the city. Since then, confinement has even become the happiest thing for the two little girls. After all, the attraction of the outside world to two young girls born in the boudoir is huge.

When the three of them walked out of the ancestral hall, Xu Ming habitually bowed to the statue in the ancestral hall.

Li Yihuan asked him, "What are you worshipping this idol for?"

"It's called politeness, you know, when you come to someone's house, of course you have to say hello to someone. Xu Ming disagreed, and strode out of the ancestral hall.

"Cut!" Li Yihuan pouted and walked out. Guan Chunuan followed behind and smiled helplessly.

The three people who walked out of the ancestral hall were dressed in moonlight and walked on the path. This ancestral hall was built at the foot of the mountain, and behind the ancestral hall is a large mountain, which is said to be the private property of the castle lord's mansion. It is said that the previous lord of the castle collected a lot of rare beasts and put them on the mountain. Li Mu was not very interested in these, and the mountain gradually fell into ruin and became a barren mountain.

"What should we do now?" Guan Chunuan asked Xu Ming in a loud voice, "Do you want to continue north?"

Xu Ming shook his head and said to Guan Chunuan: "Let's solve this girl's matter first!"

Xu Ming turned to Li Yihuan and asked her, "Where is the county lord?"

"What are you looking for the county lord?" Li Yihuan instantly became vigilant.

Xu Ming said: "I want to help you. After all, whether you follow Chu Feng or me, it is very unsafe, and it is better for you to stay in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Li Yihuan's head shook like a rattle, and his eyes were red: "I'm not afraid, don't you want me anymore?"

Xu Ming looked at Li Yihuan, who was crying, and he hurriedly explained: "No, no, no." I don't think it's appropriate for you two girls to elope with a boy you just met without telling your family. Let's find the county lord first, and then find a way to get the city lord to accept me and Chu Feng, and then you will follow us if you want to, and the city lord may not agree if you want to. That way, we don't have to be as scared as fugitives outside. Xu Ming spoke incoherently, but he finally made Li Yihuan understand.

"Do you want the city lord to accept you?" Li Yihuan looked at Xu Ming with red eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

"You don't want to abandon us?"

"Of course, of course. ”

"Really?" Li Yihuan looked at Xu Ming with some distrust.

Xu Ming hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "You are pregnant with my child, how dare I lie to you?"

Li Yihuan sniffed hard and snorted: "Then I will believe you once." ”

Xu Ming listened and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Come with me, but I can't guarantee that the county lord will be there. ”
