After avoiding this wave of reinforcements, the three of us cautiously got out of the tunnel behind the manhole cover. Little Tutu had been waiting for us here for I don’t know how long. This kid also worked hard to save me. I will buy candies when the time comes.
Definitely, we must not let this little benefactor fall short.
After I got out, I vaguely heard a noise coming from the direction of Tianlao. It was obviously Yao Ye and the others who had bumped into the support team. However, I don’t know whether Hu Qingbo defeated Lan Jia, and whether Yao Ye and the others succeeded.
What about fighting off night tours?
I didn't want to think too much about these issues, and quickly led Lao Xie and Little Tutu towards the outside of the underground palace.
The tunnel gets deeper and deeper, and there are more and more forked roads, but after leaving Tianlao, the scenery in the tunnel becomes better and better.
At first, in the part near the Tianlao, there were no decorations on the road at all, and everything was pitch black. But now that we are far away from the Tianlao, there are many exquisite murals beside the tunnel. It can be seen that when Yao Guangxiao built this underground palace,
It can be considered a painstaking effort.
After walking for a long time, we saw that we were getting further and further away from the Tianlao. Suddenly, light came from the front, and it seemed that someone was passing in front of us.
Lao Xie frowned, tugged on the corner of my clothes, and whispered: "Lin Yang, be careful, he might be someone else, so don't show your face in a hurry."
I nodded, and Lao Xie and Little Tutu found a hidden place to hide.
After a while, I vaguely saw two people walking in front of me. They were holding lanterns in their hands and walking slowly. But when I saw their faces, I was almost frightened because one of the two people was poisonous.
Mudan, the other one turned out to be Xu Shi, an old guy from the Xu family!
"The two of them?" I was shocked beyond words. Although I knew that the Xu family had a close relationship with the people in the underground palace, I still didn't expect why these two people would go to the underground palace at this time.
You couldn't have come down to save me, right?
I resisted the urge to step forward and ask questions. I waited until these two people were far away before turning back and asking, "Lao Xie, did Du Mudan and the others say they were coming down to rescue me?"
Lao Xie shook his head and said: "Anyway, as far as I know, there is no such thing. Only Laomao Dahuang and Rujun came today. It seems that these two people are not here to save you, because they are not going to the prison.
"
"Oh? Then where to go in this direction?" I asked again.
Lao Xie thought for a while and said: "The front should be the site of the office. It is usually the place where logistics and internal affairs are in charge of the underground palace. No one can enter..."
I looked behind me to see if the pursuers had arrived, and then looked at Poison Peony and the others in front of me, who seemed to be preoccupied, and asked in a low voice: "Lao Xie, if we follow up and have a look, will it delay things?"
Lao Xie thought for a while and said: "It won't delay things, we can go out from there."
I nodded and said, "In that case, let's go take a look."
Lao Xie didn't have any objections, and Little Tutu was happy to mess around with us. According to her, because Wu Min was usually too strict, the little girl almost never went to the office's territory.
We followed them all the way up. After all, because Du Mudan and Xu Shi were both scheming people, we didn't dare to follow them too close. Fortunately, there were many decorations in the tunnel behind them, so we were able to find a place to hide and hide.
After walking and stopping along the way, we finally followed them to the site of the office. The place here is quite large, and there are many palace corridors built underground, which look quite majestic.
However, Du Mudan and the others did not walk into these magnificent corridors, but entered a side door hidden at the end of the tunnel.
Lao Xie just stared at Du Mudan's swaying waist along the way. The field of view of his eyes never went beyond Du Mudan's slender waist. I thought Lao Xie was a bit too exposed, so I pushed him with my elbow.
He whispered: "Little Tutu is still following me. Don't keep looking around with your eyes...it's so inappropriate."
Only then did Lao Xie realize that what he did was a bit inappropriate, and he nodded quickly and said: "Be careful next time, be careful next time."
I pointed to the door that Poison Peony had just entered and asked, "Lao Xie, do you know what is inside this door?"
Lao Xie gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm not a map. If you ask me, who should I ask? Little Tutu, do you know?"
Little Tutu stared at her big eyes and shook her head: "I haven't been here before, so I don't know."
I sighed: "Forget it, since no one knows about it, you'll find out if you go in and take a look."
As we spoke, the three of us walked towards the tunnel. However, after walking a few steps, Lao Xie pointed upward and asked, "Lin Yang, can you dismantle this thing first?"
I looked up and saw two cameras, one on the left and one on the right, hidden under the green plants hanging from the tunnel ceiling not far ahead. I didn't expect that Lao Xie's observation was so keen that he could even see these.
I smiled and activated the flame in the lantern in my hand, and the two cameras were instantly burned into darkness.
"Isn't this possible?" I asked in a low voice.
Lao Xie nodded and gave me a thumbs up.
The side door at the end of the tunnel is very narrow, so middle-sized men like Lao Xie and I have to lower our heads when we go in.
As soon as we entered the door, a strong smell of blood rushed towards us, which made me shudder.
Inside the side door is a corridor, and at the end of the corridor is another fork in the road. Du Mudan and the others entered from here, but they didn't know where they were going.
Lao Xie, Little Tutu, and I walked forward cautiously. When we reached the end, we suddenly heard Poison Peony's voice coming from a fork in the road: "Sorry, we're late."
It seems that they have arrived at their destination, but they don't know why these two fierce ghosts of the Xu family came to the office in the underground palace, a place that handles the logistics and internal affairs of the entire underground palace.
I didn't dare to show my head, but hid behind a sculptured stone lion in the corridor with Lao Xie and Little Tutu. Just after Poison Peony finished speaking, a deep and old voice said: "It doesn't matter, the underground palace has not been peaceful recently. Just now
I just got the news. It seems that a few felons have escaped from the sky jail. They are all ruthless characters. I'm afraid they will cause another bloody storm..."
"Is there anything we, the Xu family, need help with?" Poison Mudan asked quickly.
The old voice said: "Forget it, you should just keep an eye on the Chen family outside. That old ghost Chen Xuance is also a figure who dared to bring down the emperor. This time he actually supported that devil. It really robbed his ambition.
The leopard is brave!"
"Chen Xuance has always done anything to achieve his goals, which is not surprising." Xu Shi suddenly said in a deep voice.
"That's all... I don't believe that the Chen family can get the devil out of the underground palace by themselves. But the most important thing now is not them, but the patriarch of your Xu family..." The old voice spoke slowly.
said.
When I heard the words "the patriarch of the Xu family", I became nervous because this patriarch of the Xu family has never shown his face, let alone met him.
This guy's name does not appear in the rankings of the four major families in the underworld, and we don't know who he is and why he has been reluctant to show up.
But I believe that as long as I listen patiently, the true identity of the head of the Xu family will soon come to light.
Sure enough, Du Mudan asked nervously: "Clan leader, is he adapting well? Is it possible for him to take over this important task?"
The old voice sighed and said: "I have adapted well, but unfortunately my qualifications are too poor. You know, the age of your Xu family leader is only fifteen hundred years at most."
One thousand and five hundred years? I almost shouted in my heart again. Such a Yin-aged person is already considered a thousand-year-old ghost, and he is considered a powerful character among the thousand-year-old ghosts. How many people in this world have survived for fifteen hundred years?
Where is the evil spirit?
However, this old guy complained about such a young person as having poor qualifications. I don’t know what the head of the Xu family is adapting to and what he wants to become?
