Chapter 350: The chasing soldiers were attacked by bats
Seeing that the Sixth Prince was about to approach the place where Lian Le was hiding.
Lian Le held his breath.
She had already made up her mind in her heart that she must not let the Sixth Prince discover the rope.
If the ropes were discovered, she would also find a way to destroy them.
General Zhao has just said that this is a secret room and the only way out is to jump off the cliff.
But if you jump from such a high cliff, you will neither die nor survive.
Therefore, as long as this rope is destroyed, these people will be trapped here with themselves.
So what?
As long as they can't go down, there will be no chance to stop General Zhao from finding Brother Qin.
As long as Brother Qin is not dead, General Zhao will definitely be able to find a way to save him.
Then they both can get out alive.
If they're lucky, they might still find the treasure.
As long as they present the treasure to the emperor, they will naturally be able to make up for their mistakes and regain the emperor's trust.
Thinking of this, Lian Le couldn't help but feel happy.
She was about to quietly move to the rope when she heard another set of footsteps, followed by a woman's voice.
"What happened? Why is the stone statue gone? Where does this passage lead to?"
This voice sounded familiar to Lian Le, but she couldn't remember who it was for the moment.
"Back to the master, we used the method you mentioned to stimulate Qin Shaobai to bleed and moisten the jade. As expected, Qin Shaobai's blood is the real key to unlocking the treasure."
"I have known about this for a long time, otherwise, I would not have tried my best to catch up to this Southern Song Dynasty."
The woman's voice was cold and cold, like a strong wind on a cold night, making everyone around her droop.
Lian Le, who was hiding aside, only felt numbness in his body.
She recognized that it was Mu Qingyi, that is, Concubine Lan's voice.
In the past few days, she had been listening quietly and had somewhat figured out the relationship between Mu Qingyi and Qin Shaobai.
She always thought that Mu Qingyi came to rescue Qin Shaobai and return to their hometown. She did not expect that the reason why Mu Qingyi came to pursue Qin Shaobai was not because she loved Qin Shaobai and wanted to help him, but because she loved Qin Shaobai and wanted to help him.
Because Qin Shaobai is the key to unlocking the treasure.
Lian Le bit her lip involuntarily and looked at Mu Qingyi with a pair of frightened eyes.
This woman is really terrible.
Lian Le's heart was filled with worries about Qin Shaobai.
She raised her eyes and looked at the sky. Dusk was already filling the mountains.
This situation may be beneficial to Qin Shaobai and others.
Sure enough, after a while of rustling, Lian Le heard Mu Qingyi cough lightly: "Okay, it's getting late, and there is an abyss down here. It's not safe to stay here. You go out and watch, and find a place to rest."
"Farewell to the princess."
There was a sound of footsteps, and the cave became quiet again.
Lian Le silently agreed in his heart five hundred times, and then slowly poked his head out from under the stone.
There is no one around anymore.
She quietly picked up the rope hidden behind her, tied it to the big rock, and tied the other end around her waist.
She was about to move to the cliff when she saw countless torches suddenly appearing from all directions.
Mu Qingyi walked out in the firelight and smiled slightly at Lian Le.
"What, are you going to go down to find Shaobai?"
Mu Qingyi grabbed the rope.
"Using vines to make ropes is indeed a good idea. I think Shaobai and the others used this rope to slide down the cliff, right?"
After throwing off the rope, Mu Qingyi lifted Lian Le's chin.
"Speaking of which, you are quite pitiful. Shaobai and the others only care about themselves and leave you here. Aren't they afraid that you, with your thin skin and tender flesh, will attract tigers and lions?"
"You poisonous woman, don't talk nonsense, Brother Qin is not as vicious as you."
Lian Le shook off Mu Qingyi's hand and said angrily: "It was the stone statue that led us all the way to this cliff. Brother Qin pushed me out at the last moment. I don't know what is going on with Brother Qin now?"
Is he injured, and has General Zhao found him?"
Lian Le seemed to have forgotten that he was surrounded by dozens of people, feeling sad to himself.
Mu Qingyi's body still trembled, and she took a few steps back.
Lian Le took this opportunity and slapped the rope placed next to Mu Qingyi.
There was only a crackling sound, and the rope was bounced up, and it broke into pieces one after another in an instant.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Mu Qingyi shouted.
"Now there is no rope to go down to the cliff. You will never be able to find Brother Qin again."
Lian Le must have used all his strength just now, but now that the fake Sixth Prince was holding his pipa bone, he felt that he couldn't move his whole body.
But she was laughing, laughing with all her last strength.
"Miss Lian, you are wrong."
Mu Qingyi waved her hand, and several big men behind her ran over carrying a thick and long rope.
"Lao Liu, take a few people to climb down the cliff. Since Qin Shaobai rolled down with the stone statue, it means that the treasure must be under this cliff."
"Master, if Mr. Qin and General Zhao are still alive and interfere with our work, what should we do?"
Mu Qingyi hesitated for a second, then her eyes fell on the pistol that Lao Liu had pulled out.
"Whoever interferes with us getting the treasure must be eliminated."
"Mu Qingyi, you vicious woman, Brother Qin used to be your favorite man."
Lian Le shouted, but her hands were tightly controlled and she couldn't exert any strength at all.
"Miss Lian Le, you are right. You also said it was in the past."
Mu Qingyi turned around and looked at the dark cliff: "Shaobai once said that he was willing to die for me. This time, maybe he can get his wish."
Lian Le wanted to say something, but he was hit hard on the back of the head by the person next to him, and he fainted immediately.
"Why don't you get down quickly?"
Mu Qingyi looked coldly at the few men wandering on the edge of the cliff.
"Just treat it as your daily climbing exercise and go quickly."
Lao Liu and the others could only tighten the rope and slowly slide down the cliff.
Seeing the rope getting tighter and tighter, Mu Qingyi was about to ask Lao Liu loudly if he had noticed.
But several screams were heard coming from the bottom of the cliff.
"What's wrong? Lao Liu, what's wrong with you?"
There was no response from Lao Liu and the others, instead there was a sound of wings flapping.
Immediately afterwards, a thick black cloud suddenly surged out from the bottom of the cliff, and the black cloud surged upwards rapidly.
"Master, be careful, it's a bat."
Someone next to me reminded loudly.
Mu Qingyi was still leaning down to look at the situation on the cliff. When she heard it was a bat, she shrank back in fear.
But before she could stand upright, thousands of bats flew over and hit her directly.
For a moment, the sounds of escaping footsteps were mixed with the screams of being hit by bats.
