The exit of the tunnel was like the gaping mouth of a giant beast. Looking from where we were, we could only see sporadic firelight dancing in the tunnel under the dim silk lamp. I covered my mouth and held back.
The urge to scream out in surprise. How did Lian Hongwen manage such a large and long tunnel that winds directly to the outskirts of the city? Or should he have planned it for a long time, otherwise, he would not be able to accomplish such a feat in such a short period of time.
Oh, it's simply impossible.
The cold snowflakes stuck to the tip of my nose, icy and itchy. I raised my eyes and glanced at the sky. The snowflakes were rustling and getting thicker. I glanced sideways at Ye Xi and motioned for him to take me down. He understood.
I nodded, bowed my body and sat down slowly. Suddenly, something snow-white took the opportunity to get into the tile hole that was no longer covered by my body.
My eyes widened suddenly, and only two words flashed through my mind: Oh no!
Lian Yanshan stood in the hall and looked at the tunnel's exit, slightly tranced. Something white fell from the sky, fluttering and swirling around her. She was a little stunned for a moment, and stretched out her shiny white catkins to catch the white feather-like thing.
Light velvet flowers.
"Snowflakes?" Lian Yanshan exclaimed in surprise, raising her eyes to the roof. The moment their eyes intertwined, her sharp eyes suddenly pierced my eyeballs like sharp knives.
"Catch her!" Lian Yanshan's beauty turned pale, she pointed at the roof in horror and shouted to the two young men who were breathing heavily in the hall.
Ye Xi hugged my waist and took me flying down the slippery glazed tile roof with double eaves.
Yue Ming then jumped lightly and landed firmly side by side with us in the courtyard of Caiwei Palace.
The moment I landed, I glanced at the main hall, and quickly whispered to Yue Ming's side. Yue Ming's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and then he responded: "I'll be here soon, please be careful!"
I nodded and waved my hand to signal Yue Ming to leave quickly. Yue Ming's figure flashed. In the blink of an eye, he was already dozens of feet away.
"Ye Xi, get rid of those two people now, otherwise, when the troops in the tunnel come up, the consequences will be disastrous." I didn't have time to breathe, so I grabbed Ye Xi's arm and said nervously.
Ye Xi nodded. She drew out the sword from her waist and rushed forward, entangled with the two young men who chased them out of the main hall gate.
Lian Yanshan hurried out with a group of eunuchs. It was obvious that she was very nervous. Her secret was being spied on at the most critical moment, and no one could take it calmly.
"Since you have encountered all this, don't blame me for being so cruel that I can't keep you!" Lian Yanshan's eyes flashed with a fierce cold light, and her stunning face was slightly distorted because of this resentment, and was filled with haze.
Under the sky, it looks like a ghost with teeth and claws.
"When have you ever shown mercy to me?" I met her eyes fearlessly with a cold smile. I took a slight step forward and approached her: "A frightening night in Yuyuan Qingchi. And the suburbs of Beijing.
Wasn't the fire in the outer hut caused by your own hand?"
"You all know?" Lian Yanshan stared at me in surprise. After a moment, the surprise disappeared, replaced by a sinister smile: "But you are lucky, and you can survive several times. Why, why is God like this?
It's unfair that you have received all his love, but you are not even willing to give me a little bit of it? How am I inferior to you? In terms of appearance, I am confident that I am even more beautiful than you.
I don't care if you want talent, but why is the only person he sees in his eyes and heart? Why do you come back after he thought you were dead? It was you who ruined all this, and you ruined my life.
happiness......."
Listening to Lian Yanshan's tearful accusation, my heart felt a little sour. I gave her a sympathetic smile: "What you said is correct. As a woman, you are indeed more beautiful than me, and I
She is just an ordinary little girl, but Lian Yanshan, love is the most unforgivable thing in this world. There is no so-called right and wrong, no good and evil. I can understand the harm you did to me for love,
But at the same time, I also feel deeply sad for you. You have lost the truth, kindness and beauty that a woman should have. How can a person with only an ugly soul and no beautiful appearance open his heart to discover the beauty of this world? Lian Yanshan
, you may have heard some words: 'Meeting the right person at the right time is a kind of happiness; meeting the wrong person at the right time is a kind of sadness; meeting the right person at the wrong time is a kind of happiness.
It's a sigh; meeting the wrong person at the wrong time is a kind of helplessness. 'Let it go, Ye said, he will let you go. In the future, you will meet a beloved who treats you sincerely, and you will also gain something.
A love that truly belongs to you!"
Lian Yanshan's eyes were full of madness, and the crystal tears kept falling down like broken beads. She looked at me slowly approaching and laughed crazily: "Hahaha, let me go.
?Is this a charity you gave me? Or do you want Ling Ye to destroy me? Hahaha, it doesn't matter, I have long looked down on it. Besides, Ling Ye is just a cold corpse now, why should I compete with you anymore?
Fight for him?"
"Ye will lead the army into the palace soon. He already knows your plan very well. Lian Yanshan, you have miscalculated..." I said with a faint smile.
"What did you say?" Her phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and she stepped forward with a lunge, and pinched my neck tightly with her sharp armor.
There was a stinging pain in my neck, and I couldn't breathe. I reached out and opened her palm, and Ye Xi glanced at my position warily. After a struggle, he had already killed one of the men.
The remaining one's body was also covered in wounds in many places, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. He speeded up the sword moves in his hand, fearing that something might happen to me.
He stretched out his hand and slightly clasped her cattails, then turned around and practiced. Yanshan frowned in pain. She turned over and fell into my arms. I supported her and smiled: "Didn't you know last time that I'm not weak?"
Has a slender girl had an abortion? Are you still using this trick on me?"
Ye Xi saw my skills for the first time and stared at me in surprise. I grinned and shouted: "Be careful!"
Just when Ye Xi lost her mind, the man who had fought with her took this opportunity to sneak attack Ye Xi. Seeing that the sword was about to hit Ye Xi's abdomen, Ye Xi suddenly came back to her senses under my alarmed reminder.
Come, the long sword blocked, and only a clang sound was heard. The two swords collided, emitting a dazzling golden light... The light forced by the internal force seemed to pierce the people's eyes, and the young man closed his eyes tightly.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xi turned her palm into a knife and struck hard at his shoulder blade.
There was a snap, and a stream of blood spurted out. I knew that the man's shoulder blade had been broken.
The man fell to the ground slumped, Ye Xi put away his sword and walked to me with light steps.
I grabbed Lian Yanshan and brought her into the main hall. All the eunuchs stood tremblingly in the courtyard, not daring to move.
After entering the inner hall, Lian Yanshan shook my hand away hard, with overwhelming anger on her pale face. She reached out and was about to slap me. I was completely unprepared, and the palm wind carried a sweet fragrance.
It swept toward me. However, there was no burning pain as expected. Ye Xi's big hands tightly grasped the snow-white and soft catkins.
"You are so presumptuous. Let me go, hehehe, you bitch, I will never let you ruin my father's plan..." Lian Yanshan stared at me fiercely, her red lips and teeth opening and closing.
The words that overflowed from time to time were the obscene words of a street shrew. I thought, if these words could drown me like a tide, I would have been washed away long ago.
He shook his head speechlessly, turned his head and said softly to Ye Xi: "Ye Xi, don't hurt her. Just tap her dumb and fixed acupoints, and put hers next to the couch."
Ye Xi did as she was told, and her ears finally became a lot quieter. Lian Yanshan stared at me viciously, her teeth biting her red lips into a scarlet color. I had no time to pay attention to her anymore, so I walked to the tunnel exit and lay down on my back.
Listen carefully to the movement underground on the jade floor next to you.
"Ye Xi, have Yue Ming and the hidden guards come back?" I raised my eyes nervously and asked, because it seemed that there was not enough time. I could hear the sound of uniform steps coming from the depths of the corridor, without any chaos.
, presumably this is the elite unit retained by Lian Hongwen.
Ye Xi was slightly worried because of my nervous look. He jumped out of the main hall and looked at the gate of Caiwei Palace. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Miss Xiaowei, they are all back!"
"Great, Ye Xi, let them bring the things in quickly!" I stood up from the ground, patted the dust on my body, and ordered.
Ye Xi's handsome eyebrows were raised, and then he helped Yue Ming and the hidden guards move several baskets of charcoal and kerosene into the inner hall. The charcoal was burning red, and it must have been picked out from the imperial kitchen or the dining bureau.
of.
"You guys come here and take the kerosene down together. Remember to keep it within your capabilities and ensure your own safety. Pour the kerosene in the corridor, preferably in a straight line to facilitate the guidance of the flames. After pouring, do not
I need you to light a fire down below. You just need to pour the charcoal down when you come up. This is the only way I can think of to prevent the rebels from entering the palace through the tunnel!" I finished speaking simply and looked at them.
, I saw them all staring at me blankly with expressions of infinite admiration.
There was a faint sparkle in Yue Ming's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Xiaowei, you have changed and become stronger!"
I rolled my eyes at him: "What time is it? Why do you have the heart to listen to you wearing a high hat? Why are you so stunned? Hurry up, otherwise, the rebels will attack."
With a soft drink, Ye Xi and the hidden guards rushed down the corridor in perfect coordination, followed by crackling sounds one after another. I smiled slightly, hoping that this crude method could really stop their attack.
Bar.
The sound of footsteps getting faster and faster penetrated my eardrums. Ye Xi jumped out of the tunnel first and said calmly: "It's really here..."
I swallowed a clear sputum, my hands were slightly cold and trembling. I pointed at the baskets of charcoal stacked in the hall and said: "Pour down these charcoal, you must pay attention to safety and come up safely!"
Ye Xi nodded seriously, left a shy smile, turned around and sent the charcoal down the corridor.
I waited eagerly at the exit of the tunnel. After a while, I could only hear the deafening wailing sound coming from the depths of the tunnel. I clasped my hands together, my palms wet with cold sweat, waiting for Ye Xi and Hidden who had just gone down to perform the task.
Wei came up safely.
Black figures scurried up silently like ghosts. I looked at them standing in front of me without any damage, and I felt that the barrier in my heart suddenly dropped.
"What a clever idea, Miss Xiao Wei. As soon as the charcoal fire came into contact with the fire oil in the corridor, it formed a sea of fire, which immediately burned the enemy to death and injured countless people. Now that the fire is fierce, they must not be able to come up again!" A rare thing for Ye Xi!
He met my eyes, with a hint of admiration, and said with a slight smile.
"So, we succeeded?" I laughed.
"Well, we succeeded!" Ye Xi nodded in response, and a blush began to appear on her face again.
I looked at Lian Yanshan happily, pointed at the phoenix bed and said: "Move it back to its original place! We will rush to Longqian Hall immediately..." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
