info She hated, hated the vile and shameless Zhan family, took advantage of people's danger, she was uncomfortable, she wanted to save him, but she couldn't.
Located directly south of the Tianyi Mountains, there are countless large and small peaks and cols around it, and in order to find the place where he was imprisoned, she searched day and night in this place for a hundred miles, but to no avail.
Seeing this big ember, red bricks and green tiles, flowers and herbs, birds and insects, magnificent and magnificent, and she only felt that this was a purgatory on earth...... The courtyard is resplendent and extravagant.
The cool autumn wind blows the leaves and falls on the bluestone ground.
In the gazebo, Gong Zhan's eyes narrowed into a slit, he picked up the teacup on the round table next to him, took a sip of warm Biluochun, and said with a smile to Shi Chenghuan beside him: "Shi Ruge's girl is finally safe." Those who can escape death are people who are blessed with great lives, and my family can marry this noble wife in the child's life, which can be regarded as his creation. β
Gong Zhan was so humble, Shi Chenghuan smiled calmly and said, "Senior Brother Zhan is polite. Shi Ruge is used to being pampered, and I hope you can take care of your father-in-law more in the future. Ha ha. β
"That's nature. I, Gong Zhan, have always regarded her as my own child, she married into the Zhan family, can I still treat her badly? haha. β
Gong Zhan looked up to the sky and laughed, but Shi Chenghuan on the side suddenly stopped the teacup in his hand and said, "As soon as the martial arts conference passes, let Gong Ziqi marry Shi Ruge, what do you think?"
"What does it mean to show a certain senior brother from Shi!"
Gong Zhan said calmly.
Shi Chenghuan smiled with satisfaction, and the two raised their glasses and were about to drink again.
A thin voice came and interrupted them: "I don't want to marry." β
Shi Ruge walked in front of them.
At this time, she was wearing a bright red dress, her face was flushed, and her complexion was ten times better than the day before yesterday.
Facing Shi Chenghuan, she repeated coldly: "I don't want to marry." β
Shi Chenghuan was extremely serious, and said: "Marriage is a major event, your parents are in charge, and you can't help it!"
Shi Ruge glared at him viciously, the father and daughter were deadlocked, and no one wanted to let anyone go.
Gong Zhan on the side played the original scene, and he asked Shi Ruge: "Why don't you marry Gong Ziqi?" You tell the reason, Uncle Zhan will not embarrass you. β
"Because I don't like ...... at all"
Shi Ruge opened her mouth and was about to say what was in her heart, but in her mind, his figure suddenly flashed, remembering that day Gong Ziqi viciously told her that Yi Xunfeng was in his hands, and he could kill him at any time.
Shi Ruge was distracted, shook his head and said: "I don't mean not to marry Gong Ziqi, I just think it's too early, and my body has just recovered." β
Gong Zhan nodded: "I see." β
asked Shi Chenghuan on the side again: "This kid is weak, and he is not in a hurry, so let's postpone it, Senior Brother Shi won't have an opinion, right?"
"Senior brother, the date is still up to you, I don't have any opinion!"
She glared at Shi Chenghuan fiercely again, turned her head very rudely, and walked away.
She didn't want to stay in the courtyard anymore to see Gong Zhan's hypocritical face, nor did she want to see Shi Chenghuan's stubborn and pedantic father again.
Shi Ruge sat on the bluestone by a small pond, looking at the fish in the clear water swimming happily in pairs, and a sense of loss arose, she sighed: "Little fish, little fish, if I could live as freely as you, how good it would be! However, fate does not allow me to be as happy as you......
Behind her, a dark shadow fluttered.
She was startled and immediately turned back.
The black shadow stopped and landed in front of her, but at first glance, it was Ling Wuxie.
Seeing that Shi Ruge was so flustered, he hurriedly explained and comforted: "Don't panic, don't panic, I have no malice and won't harm you." β
She calmed down and remembered the last time the Heavenly Absolute Palace, thanks to his intercession for Yi Xunfeng, she thought that he and Yi Xunfeng should be regarded as friends.
So, I let my guard down.
He asked, "Are you here to save Yi Xunfeng?"
Ling Wuxian nodded and said, "Yes! Yi Xunfeng was imprisoned by Gong Zhan in a very deep* inside, which was impenetrable and had layers of organs, and if you want to rescue him, you must go over many dangers! So, I want to ask Miss Shi Ruge for a favor!"
"Whatever you want me to do, just say it!"
"I would like to ask Miss Shi Ruge to try to get a detailed map of the terrain of Ember Fu from Gong Ziqi. β
"Ember Terrain Map?"
Shi Ruge asked.
"Yes. With a detailed map, you can follow its prompts to break through traps along the way, and then go straight to the bottom of the Turbid Wind Prison*. I've thought about it for a long time, and the only person who can get close to Gong Ziqi and help me is you!"
"But how do I find a map like this?"
"So it's up to Miss Lao Shi Ruge to find a way!"
"This ......"
Shi Ruge agreed to Ling Wuxie's request without hesitation, just to save Yi Xunfeng who was in danger in the depths, she racked her brains to think: Where will the Ember Fu map be placed?
Study it!
She thought.
The Zhanjia study is also the place where the Zhanjia father and son go most frequently!
The entire Ember Villa is heavily guarded, and its defense is no less than that of Tianyi, almost three steps and one soldier.
At this moment, the moon hung on the treetops, and Shi Ruge finally looked forward to this moment in the dead of night.
She thought: Whether it is Gong Ziqi or Gong Zhan, they will definitely not stay in this study, and the Ember Fu map that Ling Wuxian asked her to find is very likely to be stored in it.
She hid, sneaking a peek at the dense crowd of guards in front of her with their backs to her, wondering what she could do to lure them away.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her!
She let out a miserable scream, revealing a thunderous momentum, tragic and real.
A dozen or so guards panicked and asked each other: What happened?
!
What was that?
οΌ
Everyone looked behind them, and the man at the head shouted: "The voice is coming from behind, everyone quickly go and check, this is an extraordinary time, don't be negligent!"
"Yes!"
Everyone walked in unison, quickly left, and the inspection found nothing strange and immediately returned to their positions.
It was also in the blink of an eye that Shi Ruge quietly slipped into the Zhan family's study.
This study is not too big, but its design and layout make Shi Ruge feel an indescribable weirdness.
On the east and west sides of it are lined with wooden bookshelves of the same area as the walls, and to the south of the main gate is a desk, behind which is a carved dragon sandalwood chair.
Further back is the wall, and a thick ink painting of rivers and mountains occupies almost the entire wall!
Each shelf has different books on each floor, including history books, poems, pictures, miscellaneous notes, etc., which are easy to see at a glance.
What Shi Ruge was looking for was a map of Ember Fu, so she carefully flipped through the bookshelves with drawings on the second floor of the west side.
She searched very carefully, and the geographical books and anthologies collected by the Zhan family were indeed dazzling, dizzying, and the topography and location maps of the well-known mountain and river factions on the rivers and lakes were all ...... Included, including Tianyi, Quanchi, Fengshan, etc.
But after looking for a long time, I haven't seen its embers.
Shi Ruge began to panic, so she ran from one bookshelf to another, and after flipping through this stack, she was busy reviewing the other stack, she didn't care about anything, and she didn't have time to think about it, she was just thinking about finding a way to save Yi Xunfeng!
Another inch of moonlight sprinkled in front of the door, Gong Ziqi stood silently at the door, looked at her in a panic, and asked in a cold tone, "What are you looking for?"
A book slipped out of her hand!
Her guts seemed to be frightened by him!
In a cold sweat, he replied, "I...... Not...... I didn't look for anything, just take a look and just want to increase my knowledge. β
Gong Ziqi said with a smile: "What book do you want to read, just tell me Gong Ziqi, how can you come in person?"
Shi Ruge finally calmed down and said, "I don't want to bother you!"
Gong Ziqi approached Shi Ruge, took out a piece of cloth paper on his chest, opened it slightly, his charming phoenix eyes hooked up a smile again, and asked evilly: "Do you want to help Ling Wuxian find this map to save Yi Xunfeng?"
Shi Ruge was shocked by Gong Ziqi's words, and knew that there was no point in making up lies at this time, so Shi Ruge had to admit it and asked rhetorically: "How do you know?"
Gong Ziqi said with a smile: "Let me answer what you said to the little fish in the water by the pool during the day, in fact, fate does not allow you to be happy, but because you blindly pursue those unrealistic things." If you know how to be flexible, then happiness is in your hands......"
"You...... Always...... Follow me?!"
Shi Ruge was very angry.
Gong Ziqi shook his head: "I didn't mean to follow you, it's just because Ling Wuxian is here, and Pu Yan hasn't arrived yet, now I don't want to embarrass Ling Wuxie, but I have to monitor him, in short, everything that happened in Ember Fu can't escape my eyes!"
Shi Ruge sneered and said, "It seems that I underestimated you before." β
Gong Ziqi said: "I overestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be so stupid!"
Shi Ruge glared at Gong Ziqi and said coldly: "Since you know everything, then stop talking nonsense, I must get what I want today!"
Gong Ziqi felt that Shi Ruge was very naΓ―ve, and asked, "Do you think you have the ability to take it away from me?"
Shi Ruge didn't want to say any more, secretly surged to himself, and pounced on him as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Shi Ruge's speed was very fast, Gong Ziqi seemed to be unexpected, and he almost slapped Shi Ruge, and he hurriedly retreated to the wall in a hurry.
He was a little upset and asked, "You sneak attack?"
Shi Ruge pursed his lips and asked, "You are qualified to say me?! When it comes to despicability, I am not as good as one ten-thousandth of yours! If Yi Xunfeng hadn't been injured by saving me, do you think you could catch him? You villain will only take advantage of people's danger, hypocrite!"
Gong Ziqi's face twitched slightly, and he sneered: "Lan Shaoming is Pu Yan's apprentice, and he is also one of the strongest enemies of the Six Great Sects, and everyone wants to kill him. I just went along with the crowd and didn't want to let go of such a great opportunity. β
Shi Ruge shook his head and said, "You are a hypocrite! I, Shi Ruge, will never like a person like you!"
Gong Ziqi frowned, Shi Ruge's words seemed to hit him, and he asked, "Haven't you even thought about trying to like me? β
Shi Ruge said: "No! I won't like people like you at all! There is only him in my heart...... Easy to turbid!"
Gong Ziqi smiled and asked, "Where is he doing?"
Shi Ruge replied: "He loves me and will do anything for me!"
Gong Ziqi shook his head again and said, "I can also give up everything for you!"
Shi Ruge smiled and asked, "Then can you let him go for me?"
Shi Ruge's question silenced Gong Ziqi.
Shi Ruge laughed lightly and said, "Look, you can give up everything for me, so I made a small request, but you didn't agree." β
"I didn't say no, I just ...... It's just that I don't have the right to release him. β
Gong Ziqi spoke unexpectedly.
Shi Ruge looked at his face and waited for him to continue.
Gong Ziqi said: "If I want to release him, it is impossible, but I can help you and Ling Wuxie." As long as you promise to accept me, okay?"
Shi Ruge frowned, but Gong Ziqi's gentle eyes were as dazzling as a knife.
Suddenly, Gong Ziqi handed the scroll of drawings in his hand to Shi Ruge and said, "I'll give it to you now, and then I'll give you another day to think about it." β
Shi Ruge was puzzled: "You are so kind?"
Gong Ziqi smiled: "I said that you don't understand me, I will work slowly to make you change your opinion of me." β
Shi Ruge smiled and sighed, "I hope you can." β
Gong Ziqi gently put the scroll of drawings in Shi Ruge's hand and said, "This is what I did for you, but you still owe me an answer, I will look for you at this time tomorrow, I hope you don't let me down." β
In the depths of the Akashi Cave in the empty mountain behind the exhibition, Gong Zhan looked up at the colorful and blurry portraits on the stone wall by the moonlight flowing in, and was very fascinated.
Gong Ziqi approached, breaking his thoughts.
Gong Zhan turned to the side slightly and asked Gong Ziqi, "The Ember Fu map has been given to Shi Ruge?"
Gong Ziqi nodded, and also began to stare intently at the pictures on the stone wall.
Absentmindedly replied, "Yes." According to your will, it has already been given to her. β
Gong Zhan smiled, obviously very satisfied.
Gong Ziqi frowned, not understanding his intentions, and asked, "Dad, why do you want me to give her the map? Isn't this leading the tiger into the mountain? If Ling Wuxian hands it over to Pu Invasion, then all of our Ember Fu's defense lines will be breached, and this will be a huge threat to us." β
Gong Ziqi's anxiety made the experienced Gong Zhan more calm, and said: "Pu Zhan will only arrive tomorrow, and Ling Wuxian will not have the opportunity to meet Pu Zhan again." After tonight, there will be no more Ling Wuxian and Yi Xunfeng on the rivers and lakes. β
"What do you mean?"
Gong Ziqi seems to be confused.
"The Black Stone Prison is connected to this cave, and this is the only passage except for the secret passage in my bedroom. It's easy to get into the black prison from here, but if you want to get out of it again, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky. β
Gong Ziqi suddenly realized: "I understand, we generously sent the map out, but we can just use it to lure Ling Wuxian or Pu Invade other subordinates into this hole, so that we can defeat them one by one and kill them all in one without the need to mobilize the people!"
Gong Zhan nodded: "If you are not careful, you will touch the mines hidden deep at the bottom of the cave or attract thousands of hidden weapons. For more than a decade, prison escapees have often only taken one step and have already died tragically. Some of them died from arrows piercing their hearts, some were buried alive by falling boulders, and some were killed by lightning fire.
