At this time, other teams came out one after another from the passages in all directions.
Most of those girls were like Yangliu, walking forward tremblingly with an ignorant fear of the future.
Li and Huang got into a carriage casually, and the man who led the group sat in the driving position of the carriage and drove the carriage forward.
Other carriages filled with people followed closely behind.
The road was so quiet that only the echo of the wheels could be heard, which made the girls even more nervous and frightened.
No one dared to speak, not even to look outside.
Li Huang thought that the carriage would only last for a day or two at most, and would stop after arriving at the next destination.
But she never expected that she would sit in this carriage for seven or eight days.
Such a long time is enough for them to travel from one continent to another.
Li Huang suddenly understood why they had to blindfold them at the junction of Qianzhou and Xiangzhou.
Because it almost takes more than seven or eight days to get to any continent from there. In this way, even if there are particularly smart ones among them, it is difficult to judge which continent they have been sent to in a short while.
So, it probably took many years to dig such a long tunnel, right?
However, what surprised them even more was what came next.
After the group got off the carriage, they were led by the men with braids and entered a huge palace. Li Huang was stunned with just one glance.
Although the palace's magnificence cannot be said to be comparable to Dayuan's palace, it is no worse than their Prince An's Mansion or her Princess's Mansion.
If you can dig countless passages extending in all directions underground and build a palace like this, how much manpower, material and financial resources will it cost?
"What are you stunned for? Hurry in!"
The man who led them saw her standing outside the door, not even raising her feet for a long time, and immediately urged her.
Li Huang then slowly stepped into the palace.
Once inside, she was stunned again.
Inside the palace, the walls are simply splendid with gold, opulence and jewels.
The road is paved with white marble, each piece is so bright that no flaws can be seen at a glance.
Every beam and column is carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike. Every fence on the corridor is made of fine golden nanmu. Everywhere it passes, every landscaping material comes from the finest treasures from the Jiangnan water town.
The trees in the garden are even more valuable.
Even the pearls and gems embedded in the rockery and the stones in the reservoir that reflect the compelling light are each worth tens of thousands of gold.
Li Huang: "..."
Did they come to an underground treasure house?
She finally understood why it was possible to dig out such a large palace and a passage that lasted for seven or eight days by carriage. Money could be seen here even if you took a breath.
Soon, a bunch of women captured from all over the country stood in a large palace.
There is a huge cauldron in the middle of the palace, with an alchemy furnace set up on it, and there is a faint scent of medicine coming from inside.
Li Huang couldn't help but frowned. These people couldn't catch women to make elixirs, right?
I haven't heard of this kind of witchcraft.
At this time, a man in Taoist robes walked out of the hall.
The man has a square appearance, a goatee, and a wenge wood hairpin for his half-white hair.
It seems that those who are immortal and those with pigtails have completely different styles.
Ling Yuan unconsciously leaned towards Li Huang. The atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit off.
And the alchemy furnace in the middle is a bit unusual no matter how you look at it.
At this time, the Taoist priest glanced at the girls in the hall and frowned: "There are only so many people, it's not enough."
The men with pigtails stepped forward to salute.
"National Master, we got this with great difficulty. If too many people disappear all at once, it may attract the attention of the imperial court."
"Yes, National Preceptor, we got these through abduction and trafficking. Even if we want to investigate in the future, we can only investigate them, but not us."
Li Huang was secretly frightened when he heard this, these people are really good at planning!
Using this method to buy people and transport them quietly, even if one or two people occasionally disappear, or it is suspected that they were sold in some poor ravine, and it takes a long time to find them, then forget it.
But what do they want with so many girls?
Although the man who was called the Imperial Master looked unhappy, he still said, "Okay, since there are people here, let's go get the things out."
The little pigtails all responded to the words and retreated.
Not long after, a group of people came in carrying jars of various sizes.
The girl didn't know what fate was waiting for them, so she cowered in fear.
But how could those men allow them to hide?
Immediately, a woman standing in front was caught, and with a scream, her arm was cut open.
The man holding the jar stepped forward, opened the lid, and caught the blood on the girl's arm.
Suddenly, an unspeakable fishy smell filled the entire hall, making people almost nauseous.
Li Huang held down Ling Yuan's hand tightly to prevent her from breaking out and fighting with these people.
After a cup of blood was poured out on the woman, a bottle of hemostatic medicine was stuffed into her and thrown aside.
Then, each girl was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with panic and fear almost written on their faces.
Without exception, the women were all bled.
The difference is that there are many jars. The woman doing the bloodletting is changing the jars, and so are the jars.
In less than a quarter of an hour, it was Li Huang and Ling Yuan's turn.
A dark jar was opened in front of them, and they saw clearly that there were extremely ugly insects lying inside.
They squirmed in the jar and vomited disgusting mucus.
The braided man cut Li Huang's wrist, and the moment the blood dripped into it, it was sucked clean instantly.
Those bugs are like those absorbent rags. No matter how much you drop into it, they can suck it up instantly, as if the blood never fell on them.
Li Huang felt extremely frightened. If she guessed correctly, were these all bugs?
sky!
What do these people want to do after raising so many cup worms?
It wasn't until the blood in the jar was no longer absorbed that the man with the braid let go of Li Huang's wrist and threw a small bottle of hemostatic medicine to her.
Ling Yuan's expression was not very good. If Li Huang hadn't repeatedly warned her not to be impulsive, she would have been unable to hold her sword hand.
Soon, all the women in the palace were bleeding.
The Imperial Master said calmly: "First lock them up in groups and give them some food. Don't leave them alone until the time comes. The blood will be gone."
The men with braids responded and backed out holding the cans.
The team leaders who were originally responsible for sending the girls came over one after another to take away the girls they had brought.
Li and Huang were led through the corridor again and came to a room.
