Chapter 86 See you again in the outer hall
The two of them walked along the waterway. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the water level rose again and there was no road ahead.
Zhou Zhao and Su Changying did not hesitate. They took a deep breath and entered the water directly. They continued to swim along the current and gradually floated up. This time, it didn't take long for their heads to surface from the water, and the surrounding area suddenly opened up.
The moonlight in the sky falls on the river, shining like a bright Milky Way.
Occasionally, you can hear a few frogs croaking.
Zhou Zhao took a deep breath, soared into the air and landed on the shore. When she turned around, the Xuanwu Gate was right in front of her.
She wiped her face and shook off the water droplets hanging on her eyelashes. The night wind blew, making her body feel cool.
Su Changying moved her hands, and then unnaturally put them behind her back, "Follow me."
Zhou Zhao was a little confused when she saw that he did not go to Xuanwu Gate, but walked towards the small woods nearby. However, she did not ask for details. Instead, she said, "How is your finger? The wood chips inside need to be pulled out earlier." Yes. Where did you arrange for Ahuang?”
Zhou Zhao said, without waiting for Su Changying to answer, he answered himself, "Where is the wife of the owner of Zhiyang Shop?"
Su Changying was not surprised at all that Zhou Zhao could guess it correctly. He nodded, "I'm fine, just a little splinter. I'm not very afraid of pain. Ah Huang is indeed there."
As he spoke, he tapped his feet gently and flew into the canopy of one of the big trees. He took out a package and handed it to Zhou Zhao's hand.
"You have suffered internal injuries and can no longer bear the cold. There are robes here. Go and change them first."
Zhou Zhao didn't delay. She was not an iron person and it would hurt even if she was injured.
I remember that one year during the Lantern Festival, she sprained her foot and hummed pretentiously, so she asked Su Changying to carry her out to watch people forge ironwork. When she returned home at night, her brother Zhou Yan was already waiting with medicinal oil, and her second sister Zhou Wan rolled his eyes at her and ridiculed her. The eldest sister rolled up her sleeves and rubbed them for her, causing her to yell "The Living King of Hell"!
After Su Changying left with Zhou Yan, she never cried out in pain again.
Zhou Zhao thought about it, found a high rock in the forest, took the bundle and squatted down to open it.
Inside was a set of ordinary black robes, plus a small white medicine bottle and a small ingot of silver. Most likely, this was used by Su Changying to change his identity. Even if he has the art of disguise and can change his face, he doesn't know the magic of magic and can still change his clothes.
Zhou Zhao quickly took the medicine, changed his clothes, casually twisted his wet hair and tied it behind his head.
Su Changying stood with his back to her, raising his head and not knowing what he was looking at. When she changed her clothes, he also changed out of the red robe and put on the same black clothes as Zhou Zhao.
"You still have iron shackles on your feet and injuries on your body. I will carry you into the city."
Hearing Zhou Zhao's footsteps, Su Changying turned around. He looked at Zhou Zhao's pale face and couldn't help but suggest something.
Zhou Zhao shook his head, "I can do it myself. Without further ado, let's go find Ah Huang immediately."
Su Changying did not force himself, he nodded, and started off at the same time as Zhou Zhao. The two of them were like two goshawks in the night, and in an instant they crossed the high wall of Tianying City and sneaked into the city.
……
The two floors on the ground of Zhiyang Shop were dark, but the secret room underground was full of people.
The leader of the Vermillion Bird Hall, Li He, blushed and looked at Zhou Zhao angrily, "Zhou Zhao, now your identity has been exposed. You are actually a craftsman sent to Tianying City by the imperial court. You put a sack on us and tied us here. Are you?" What does it mean?”
"You are really brave. Aren't you afraid that we will tell the city lord and kill you all in one go?"
Earlier, he temporarily succumbed to Zhou Zhao's power because firstly, Cheng Yuyuan and Yan Junyu were on Zhou Zhao's side, and secondly, he and Zhan Guang were seriously injured because of the Gu insect.
Today is different from the past. His injuries have healed to some extent, and Zhou Zhao has become the target of Qin Tianying. Seeing that no one responded, Zhuque Hall angrily glanced at the faces of Cheng Yuyuan and Yan Junyu, and finally his eyes fell on Zhan Guang, the leader of Baihu Hall, "Zhan Guang, you think so?"
The leader of the White Tiger Hall did not say a word. He looked at Zhou Zhao silently, as if waiting for her to speak.
Zhou Zhao saw the performance of the two in his eyes and smiled scornfully, "Li He, you can actually survive until now."
"How did you get here? I don't need to repeat it, right? What confidence do you have to make noise here?"
Li He was speechless, his face turning from red to blue, "You! I can't beat you! But..."
Zhou Zhao shook his head, "Those who cannot be beaten have no right to say but. And I am not calling you here to force you to surrender to the court and fight against Qin Tianying, but to save your lives."
Zhou Zhao said and looked at the leader of the White Tiger Hall, "Zhan Guang, you must have thought of it. Tianji took the Six Heavens Book and wants to use us as sacrifices to seek immortality."
"So Qin Tianying has taken the Six Heavenly Books, who will he use as a sacrifice to seek immortality? The entire Tianying City is an altar, and tomorrow is the day of death that Qin Tianying has chosen for you."
Zhou Zhao said, pointing to the iron cuffs on his legs that had not yet been removed, and then rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scars on his wrists.
When Zhan Guang and Li He looked at each other, their expressions changed at the same time.
They all know how high Zhou Zhao's martial arts skills are, but Zhou Zhao has been caught and handcuffed before.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"In the inner city of Tianying City, there are seven mechanism pillars, which are exactly the same as those in Xu's house. When the mechanism is activated, Tianying City will collapse and everyone will die. The master of each inner hall is prepared by Qin Tianying ”
Zhou Zhao's words were so shocking that everyone present who didn't know it looked in disbelief.
Zhou Zhao's eyes fell on the little tiger fang Yan Junyu. She pointed to the iron cuffs on her feet, "You try to chop it and see if you can get this thing open."
Yan Junyu's lips were pursed into a slit, and only the tips of his tiger teeth were exposed. He did not speak, and drew out his long sword and slashed at the black iron cuffs on Zhou Zhao's feet. The iron cuffs did not move at all, not even a trace. None remained.
He opened his eyes in surprise, "Sister Zhao, are we some kind of natural sacrificial body? Why did Xu Qifang choose us, and now Qin Tianying chooses us again."
As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue helplessly and clicked his tongue twice more, "He should tie you up in a cave in Tianying Mountain. My little aunt goes to watch the night almost every night. You chopped off a branch of Tianshu." Arm, she’s still unconscious, so she probably won’t be able to be used as a sacrifice.”
"Although Qin Tianying hasn't said it yet, if you escape and he can't find you, he will most likely choose me."
Yan Junyu said, patting his chest in fear, "I will listen to you in whatever you want to do. Not only will I listen to you, but even Yu Heng will listen to you."
Yan Junyu did not explain in detail, but smiled, showing his cute little tiger teeth.
As he spoke, he turned back and looked at Zhan Guang and Li He, "I advise you all to listen to Zhou Zhao, otherwise you won't even know how you died."
There was silence all around. Li He looked at Zhan Guang but got no response, and was very flustered.
Qin Tianying killed more than forty members of his family, and Tianshu gave him a son who had to be used as a sacrifice. He could not do such a thing.
"But we were not considered sacrifices and were taken back by the court. We will all die anyway. Why should we waste our efforts?"
Li He thought and asked the questions in the minds of everyone in Tianying City.
They are criminals to begin with. If they are caught, they will most likely be beheaded. In this case, why bother?
If you run away, you will be arrested by the officials. If you don't, you will be sacrificed by blood. It is a dead end anyway.
