There are many luminous pearls placed in the secret passage, illuminating the path forward for the three of them.
A group of three people walked through the narrow secret passage, and after about a quarter of an hour, they reached the end of the secret passage.
Hu Die stepped forward and pushed the door open. The space became wider, and a dozen feet away was a stone cave.
The cave was brightly lit, and the three of them saw Jian Junyi lying on the stone bed at a glance. His limbs were bound by black iron. There was also a slim girl sitting beside the bed, dozing off.
Gu Xiyan felt that the back of this girl seemed familiar. When she was wondering which girl it was, Hu Die whispered to her: "It seems to be Miss Lu."
After Hu Die reminded her, Gu Xiyan finally thought that this was Lu Shujing.
She never expected that the person who trapped Jian Junyi was Lu Shujing, and Lu Shujing had the Lu family behind her.
Lu Shujing was dozing next to the bed. She felt something strange in the cave. She suddenly turned around and found that Gu Xiyan was behind her at some point. She stood up quickly, drew her sword and stabbed Gu Xiyan.
How could Hu Die allow her to get close to Gu Xiyan? She drew her sword to meet him, and soon they were fighting with Lu Shujing.
Qi Zhiyuan stepped forward with his sword, trying to cut off the handcuffs and shackles that trapped Jian Junyi. Unfortunately, when he struck down with the sword, his sword broke, but the handcuffs and shackles remained intact.
Qi Zhiyuan subconsciously looked at Gu Xiyan, wondering how Gu Xiyan made up his mind.
After careful inspection, Gu Xiyan had an idea: "Go and chop down the stone bed!"
The handcuffs and anklets that trapped Jian Junyi were all driven into the stone bed. They looked very old, indicating that people were held here before.
Qi Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward to fix the stone bed when he heard Gu Xiyan say: "Maybe, chop off Miss Lu's hands and feet!"
Qi Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment. Seeing the beautiful and beautiful princess saying such cruel words, he actually felt a sense of disillusionment.
At this time, Lu Shujing had been beaten by Hu Die and was unable to fight back, and was restrained by Hu Die after a while.
Gu Xiyan ordered Hu Die: "Search her body to see if the key is on her. If it's not on her, she will be tortured to extract a confession, even if her limbs are chopped off, she still has to get the key."
This time, not only Qi Zhiyuan was dumbfounded, but Hu Die and Jian Junyi also fell silent.
Everyone present could tell that Gu Xiyan was not joking. When she said she wanted to chop off Lu Shujing's limbs, that was an order, not a child's play.
Hu Die didn't waste any time and went forward to search Lu Shujing's body. However, she searched every part of Lu Shujing's body but could not find the key.
"The key is not on me, and your search is useless." Lu Shujing's eyes fell on Jian Junyi's face, with deep affection that could not be concealed: "Jian Lang, will you occasionally think of me after I die?"
Jian Junyi was expressionless and did not answer the call.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xiyan suddenly said: "Zhiyuan, go chop off Mr. Jian's hands and feet!"
As soon as she said this, the four people present were stunned, including Jian Junyi herself.
Lu Shujing had the biggest reaction when she heard this. She yelled at Gu Xiyan: "I don't allow you to touch Jian Lang!"
Hu Die finally understood. It turned out that this was Gu Xiyan's true purpose.
Since Lu Shujing has deep affection for Jian Junyi, can she still remain indifferent when seeing Jian Junyi tortured because of her?
"It seems that you care about Jian Junyi more than yourself. If that's the case, why do you want to trap him here? It's obviously you who made him suffer here, but you show such a pretentious manner that you are deeply affectionate towards him.
Who should I show it to?" Gu Xiyan said calmly.
She walked slowly to Lu Shujing and suddenly asked without warning: "Miss Lu, do you have the key with you?"
Lu Shujing's expression was a little stunned, as if she didn't expect that she would suddenly ask such a question.
Gu Xiyan felt that Lu Shujing's stunned expression was worthy of scrutiny. Lu Shujing probably couldn't understand why she was so sure that the key was with her.
Asking Qi Zhiyuan to cut off the stone bed makes too much noise, which may alert the people hiding in the temple. If he can get the key without using force, he can solve this thorny problem quietly.
"Xiaodie, take off her clothes." After Gu Xiyan looked Lu Shujing up and down, she gave an order to Hu Die.
When Qi Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately turned his back, and Jian Junyi looked away uncomfortably.
Hu Die immediately started to take off Lu Shujing's coat.
Only then did Lu Shujing react. She struggled hard in Hu Die's hands, but Hu Die's hands were so strong that she couldn't get out of Hu Die's control.
At this time, Gu Xiyan stepped forward and pulled open Lu Shujing's inner garment. When she saw Lu Shujing's close-fitting clothes clearly, her almond-shaped eyes lit up.
A huge peony flower was embroidered on Lu Shujing's dress. The peony flower is three-dimensional and can fit a key inside.
Gu Xiyan stepped forward and took out an exquisite key from the peony flower.
Hu Die looked at Gu Xiyan with burning eyes: "Xiyan, you are so smart."
She had never thought that Lu Shujing actually hid the key in the small clothes she was wearing.
"It's not that I'm smart, it's that you have a stubborn mind. Furthermore, Mr. Jian is an upright man and will never get close to Miss Lu, let alone touch her. Miss Lu is sure of this and can safely
The key is hidden on her chest." Gu Xiyan took the key and stepped forward to help Jian Junyi unlock the door.
The handcuffs and anklets opened in response, but Jian Junyi was still unable to move.
Gu Xiyan understood that Jian Junyi had been drugged. At this time, Qi Zhiyuan came over, helped Jian Junyi up, and stuffed an antidote into his mouth.
After taking the antidote, Jian Junyi's hands and feet gained strength.
He bowed respectfully to Gu Xiyan: "Thank you, Princess, for saving your life!"
"Young master Jian, you don't have to be polite. You are doing things for the people and you are in this misfortune. It is right for me to come and save you. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go out first." Gu Xiyan said and asked Hu Die to take Lu Shujing.
The group of people headed for the exit, with Jian Junyi falling at the back. After exiting the secret passage and going to the lotus pond, they found many masked men in black standing beside the lotus pond.
Gu Xiyan thought everything was going too smoothly before, but as expected, she was here waiting for her.
Qi Zhiyuan immediately protected Gu Xiyan behind him. After taking the antidote, Jian Junyi was able to fight. Hu Die could not take care of Lu Shujing at this time and stood beside Gu Xiyan.
At this time, Gu Xiyan felt that she was a burden.
Without her, it would be easy for them to deal with these men in black.
These men in black should not be Zhou Xing's people. After all, they had already killed Zhou Xing's people before visiting the lotus pond.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people are from the Lu family. Otherwise, when they were in the secret room, these people could have sealed them in the secret passage.
Gu Xiyan figured this out and made a decisive decision: "Xiaodie, hold Miss Lu!"
