Wings of Storm!
Yin Xiu flew up with a pair of wings. When the sun had just appeared from the horizon and had not fully illuminated the earth, and was in a hazy state, he took the risk to take a look at the Qintianjian Star Observation Tower from a very far distance.
This is a very dangerous move. Even if no one is paying attention at this time, there will be no movement in the sky. However, it is very likely that some Qi refiners in the Qintian Prison will notice it.
So only a few minutes later, when the sun was about to rise completely, Yin Xiu came down and got into the trees.
Ren Qi and Liu Banxian are already waiting here.
After he fell, Liu Banxian put away the compass in his hand, "How is it?"
"Not very good."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "It's too far. Even if I have good eyesight, I can hardly see anything under the thick fog."
"This ghost place in Yujing has more fog than southern Xinjiang."
Liu Banxian sighed and asked: "Then let's go home first?"
"Yes, but you go back first."
"Huh?"
Liu Banxian was a little surprised, "What about you?"
Yin Xiu smiled and said: "The two of us, of course, have to find a chance to visit Ouchi again."
"You two are so brave."
Liu Banxian yawned. Recently, he almost always watched the stars at night, holding on to the astrolabe. Today he stayed with Yin Xiu and the others all night. It can be said that he was very sleepy.
Therefore, after Yin Xiu proposed a trip to the Great Inner Forbidden Palace, he stopped nagging and made up his mind to go back and take a nap.
In fact, they were halfway together, because Yin Xiu and Ren Qi still went to Baylor Mansion, determined to sneak into the palace through the secret passage in the well.
But it sounds very urgent, but in fact they are very leisurely.
It wasn't until Ren Qi finished the third bowl of fried liver at the breakfast stall while turning the bowl of rice that they started to separate.
At this time, the few servants in Baylor's Mansion began to get busy.
For a royal family like this, even if they have servants, they are not very smart, so Yin Xiu and Ren Qi seemed to have entered their own home, just wandering around.
When they arrived at Belle's house, the window that had been smashed two days ago had not yet been repaired, and no one seemed to notice the damage.
Yin Xiu stood in front of the window and took a look inside. Belle was still lying on the bed, snoring loudly. She had no idea that anyone was watching him outside, or that there was a body hidden under his bed.
"Well, this is the royal family."
Ren Qi said disdainfully: "Ten or ten of these people are trash. Occasionally, there are a few that are useful. They were probably born by some Fujin concubine who stole someone's life outside."
Yin Xiu frowned, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten when you talk like this?"
"Afraid!"
Ren Qi glanced at him, "That's why I never speak."
"Then you are a smart man."
Yin Xiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the palace."
The two came to the well one after another.
Ren Qi took a look into the well first, then nodded and said: "It's at the bottom. When I came out, I fell into the water from the tunnel, and then I plunged up suddenly, so I think the hole should be in the well." The bottom is not deep.”
Yin Xiu also agreed, because Sima He was wet when he came up before.
After exchanging glances, Yin Xiu hid the waterproof map of the Qintian Prison and followed Ren Qi into the well.
As two gentle sounds of falling water came from the well, the cold well water hit Yin Xiu's face, sending a chill through his bones.
He followed Ren Qi, then dived down a little further, and then got into a moss-covered hole at the bottom of the well wall.
As soon as she entered the cave, Yin Xiu stuck her head out of the water and breathed in the moist air.
Ren Qi took a hand and pulled him up. From top to bottom, water drops kept dripping down the two of them.
Yin Xiu wiped her face and said, "Hey, the water in this well is quite cold."
"The water in Yujing is like this. It can even cause cramps in the cold in summer."
Ren Qi took out a piece of fluorite from his pocket for lighting and began to lead the way.
At the beginning, this tunnel could only allow people to crawl through it on their knees. It was no different from the dog hole Yin Xiu mentioned.
Although it was an agonizing departure, many heroes and heroes had escaped from death in dog holes. What did Yin Xiu and the others have to complain about?
After walking for a while, they were finally able to stand up, bowed their waists slightly, retracted their legs and walked forward.
In front of a rock wall, Ren Qi stopped with a smile on his lips.
Yin Xiu didn't know why until Ren Qi approached Yinghuo.
I saw two lines of words carved on the rock wall:
The victorious and defeated soldiers have unexpected family affairs, and it is a man to bear shame.
Yin Xiu looked at the traces of gold hooks and iron scratches on it and recognized it as Ren Qi's handwriting.
"Did you carve it on when you were fleeing?"
"That's right."
Ren Qi nodded, "This is a poem by Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty. When I was besieged in Da Nei and escaped from the secret passage in embarrassment, I somehow remembered these two poems that I had read when I was a child, so I engraved them on Here.”
Yin Xiu sighed in her heart, it was also a very difficult moment for Ren Qi.
He was besieged by his colleagues in the palace, and after escaping from the palace, he saw his entire family being killed. No wonder he no longer had the fighting spirit when he fled to Hong Kong Island and wallowed in the mud for seven years.
Anyone who encounters so many misfortunes and shocks in one day will inevitably feel depressed.
However, what matters is whether he can get out of his depression and stand up again.
Ren Qi struggled out of the mud and stood up again.
"Hey, are you pitying me or admiring me?"
Ren Qi glared at Yin Xiu, obviously reading Yin Xiu's thoughts from his expression.
Yin Xiu winked at him and said, "I like you."
"Nervous!"
Ren Qi's good mood before was gone. After giving Yin Xiu a hard look, he walked deeper.
Yin Xiu followed him and walked another winding section. It could be seen that the person who dug this secret tunnel might be in a hurry or because of limited strength, so the sections did not have a unified scale, and even were crooked and twisted. It's not like the same person dug it.
Although Ren Qi said that this was a secret passage that he discovered accidentally, it was an event with low probability.
However, in the long river of time, some things, no matter how low the probability, will become a high probability event as long as they are repeated many times.
Ren Qi can find the secret passage, and so can Sima He. Maybe countless people before them have reached the place they long for through this secret passage.
To a certain extent, this is a way to escape, and it is also a shortcut for Yin Xiu and the others to get a glimpse of the secrets of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace.
After walking for a while, the front was blocked by a thick rock wall. Only above Yin Xiu and the others, there was a place where fresh wind blew. This was probably the exit of the secret passage.
Ren Qi didn't say anything, but turned to look at Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu understood and followed the previous plan to release the blood butterfly from his sleeve. As the blood butterfly took off, it slipped out of the gap and the outside view suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The blood butterfly danced gracefully, and after turning around in a circle, it found no one, so it hovered in the air.
At this time, Yin Xiu stood behind and patted Ren Qi on the shoulder. Ren Qi stretched out his hand and pushed away the seemingly tight stone wall on top.
With a gentle push of his hand, gaps appeared in the seemingly seamless rock wall, allowing light to shine through.
It turns out that the entrance to this secret passage is in the hollow of an old tree. It is very hidden and remote. I am afraid that no one will come here in a few years.
Ren Qi climbed out first and reminded Yin Xiudao: "Be careful, this tree is a cultural relic."
"Cultural relics?"
Yin Xiu was quite confused and took a look at the tree, which was almost half bent and looked gloomy. What kind of cultural relic could this be? Even when it is chopped and used as firewood, some people think it smokes too much.
Ren Qi explained: "It is said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself from this tree. Do you think it is a cultural relic?"
"That is indeed an incredible cultural relic."
Yin Xiu patted the tree trunk and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that there is nothing easy to use on it. Otherwise, I would cut a section and make it into a peach wood sword. I can use it to fight ghosts in the future. It would also be regarded as a service to the former Ming emperor." Sad.”
"What? Do you admire the former Ming emperor?"
"There is no such thing."
Yin Xiu waved her hand, "I just think that hanging someone from a tree is always a surprising and curious thing."
Ren Qi glanced at him and said, "So in your opinion, anyone can do it?"
"If you were to hang yourself on a tree, I would also go and get a piece of it."
"Can you also make utensils?"
"Make a toilet."
"Then I thank you."
Ren Qi asked Yin Xiu for a map of Qintian Prison, and the two hid in the shadow of a tree and began to check it out.
According to Ren Qi's understanding, they could reach the foot of Luoshen Mountain by walking along the west side of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace.
Ren Qi could ensure that their journey west to Luoshen Mountain was smooth because he was very familiar with the terrain in the palace. However, when they reached the foot of Luoshen Mountain, it was a place he had never been to before.
Between these two places, there should be a hidden line of defense that would be difficult for them to cross.
"You think it's difficult?" Yin Xiu asked him.
"Of course I will find it difficult."
Ren Qi shook his head, "And I heard that Di Wei has also been reinstated and has returned to the position of commander-in-chief."
"Dewey."
Yin Xiu was deeply impressed by him, that is, the eunuch who was called the human devil in Changbai Mountain.
"His strength is very strong, but when you were in Changbai Mountain, you were able to withstand him and Zuo Xian Wang Bai Li alone."
"It was just a three-party melee."
Ren Qi doesn't think it's that simple. "They are also wary of each other. They even said that they would rather tear each other into pieces than deal with me. If we fight alone..."
"King Zuoxian has died in my hands." Yin Xiu said.
"I know."
Ren Qi nodded, "I mean, Di Wei is also a very scary opponent. He is not a softie like Jin Hai. Especially many of the old monsters in the palace only follow his orders."
"Why?"
"Because he was a minister of the Three Dynasties, many people in the palace knew him and relied on his help, so many people owed Diwei's favor."
"If you owe a favor, you have to pay it back with your life?"
Ren Qi sneered, "Are you talking about their lives or our lives?"
"What if I say it's theirs?"
"It's good that you have this confidence, but I have to say, this is not easy."
Ren Qi knows the terrifying aspects of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace. You often think that you have thought everything through and are sure of victory. However, sometimes, in a corner, there is often a musket pointed at you. When you are most proud, When he is most paralyzed, he fires at you and shoots out those deadly projectiles.
"However, no matter what considerations you make, you still plan to visit Qintian Prison, right?" Ren Qi asked him.
"That's right, the only question for me now is how far I want to achieve in Qintian Prison."
Ren Qi knew Yin Xiu's thoughts and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "For example, capture the Black Emperor's son in one go?"
"This is naturally the best."
But Yin Xiu herself felt that this was a fantasy.
"Then I understand, just take it one step at a time."
It was rare for Ren Qi to say such words. He stood under the big tree and glanced at the Qintian Prison whose outline could be seen in the distance.
"If I die, that bastard Prince Jade, you can avenge me and chop off his head and feed it to the dogs."
"That's your own revenge, you just have to avenge it yourself."
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "What? Are you afraid that you will die because of your lack of skills?"
Ren Qi immediately responded: "I'm afraid that you will hold me back, and I have to stay and help you, and end up in a tight siege."
"When did you become so loyal?"
Yin Xiu rolled his eyes, "Do you believe this? No wonder it is said that the first priority of being a master is to have a thicker skin than the city wall."
"Whatever you say."
Ren Qi turned his neck, and there was a popping sound between the joints of his cervical vertebrae.
"But since you are planning to go to Qin Tian Prison to have a look and cause trouble, then I will accompany you. Maybe Prince Jade was so aroused that he ran out on his own without me looking for him. ”
"I promise you, if Prince Jade really shows up, I will definitely help you."
"That guy is mine."
Ren Qi shook his head, "I'll deal with him myself. At most, you can help me contain the other eagle and dog minions."
After he said this, Yin Xiu sighed suddenly.
"What's wrong? You don't have confidence?"
"No."
Yin Xiu just said: "We have not yet arrived in front of the mountain gate of Qintian Prison, but we have already begun to imagine that so many changes have been deduced. Is it unlucky?
Just like in history, when some people first started to rebel, they thought about how many steamed buns they would eat and how many concubines they would raise if they became emperor in the future.
Some people just captured a few county towns and began to confer titles and titles on them, calling this one the King of Heaven and that one the Prime Minister. As a result, when the enemy came over, they immediately became like birds and beasts and dispersed. ”
"Do you really think of us as the first two types of people?"
Ren Qi also frowned when he heard this, wishing he could ask Liu Banxian to make a fortune at this time.
"Of course I don't think so."
Yin Xiu jumped over from the edge of the tree and patted Ren Qi.
"Let's go, Brother Master." (End of Chapter)
