Zhong Wen was a little hesitant about whether to break into the secret room directly to save people.
After all, the women in that room were not wearing any clothes, so it was somewhat inappropriate for him, a grown man, to rush in so rashly.
Moreover, he didn't know what the attitudes of the two Lords of Water and the strange beauty were in this regard. If he met that kind of chaste and fierce woman who would seek death if her body was seen, he might not be able to win over her, but it would be self-defeating.
It was night, he was sitting on the roof alone, letting the bright moonlight shine on his body through the water droplets in the air, his eyes were melancholy, his right hand supported his chin, motionless and silent, like a perfectly restored sculpture, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
something.
"what's on your mind?"
Suddenly, a voice as sweet as nature sounded in my ears.
The sound of red silk.
"I'm thinking......"
Zhong Wen didn't even raise his head and replied slowly, "I have something that I should ask you for help with."
"I?"
Hong Xiao was surprised, "What can I do that you can't do?"
"Have a baby."
Zhong Wen suddenly turned his head and replied with a smile.
"Farewell."
Hong Hao's pretty face sank, and she turned around to leave.
"No, no, no!"
Zhong Wen quickly stood up, grabbed her smooth and delicate left hand, and said with a smile, "It's just a joke, is there any need to be so angry?"
Hong Xiao frowned slightly, as if he thought his move was too abrupt, and instinctively waved his hand.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Wen's hands seemed to be coated with glue and could not be shaken off no matter how hard she shook them. She was afraid of disturbing Mu Liuying who was resting, so she stopped struggling and just gave him an annoyed look.
The sight made his mouth go dry and his heart beat rapidly.
It has to be said that Hong Hao's appearance is so outstanding that a casual smile can make Zhong Wen's mood change. Among all his beauties, only Lin Zhiyun can slightly outdo him.
Even though the first encounter between the two parties was not pleasant, Zhong Wen could not dislike her no matter what.
On the contrary, because of the previous hostile relationship, he was more casual and less reserved when facing Hongxiao, as if he had recognized an old friend for many years, and it was unexpectedly comfortable to get along with him.
And he had a vague feeling that Hong Xiao didn't seem to hate him.
"Say it."
Let him hold on to the catkins and rub them for a while. The blush on Hong Hao's face gradually faded away, and he suddenly said, "What news did you get out of those many insects you released?"
"Is it true that I can't hide it from you?"
Zhong Wen was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh, "The Lord of Water did not retreat, but was imprisoned. One of my friends was trapped with her."
"Although I don't recognize this Lord of Water."
Hong Xiao asked in confusion, "But shouldn't she be the boss of Lingyuan Palace? Why was she imprisoned in her own territory?"
"As the saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow?"
Zhong Wen pointed to his heart, "No matter how powerful a person is, he may not be able to escape his own people's plans over time."
"This Lord Ling..."
Hong Xiao nodded, and then asked, "Are you really your friend?"
"Those are all nonsense to fool Kong Ming."
Zhong Wen shook his head and replied truthfully, "Ling Bixu and I are not familiar with each other. If you really want to talk about it, she should be considered my enemy."
"Such concern for an enemy."
Hong Xiao glanced at him and said calmly, "It seems that she must be a great beauty who will conquer the country."
"Look what you said."
Zhong Wen's expression froze, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "We two were shouting and killing, but now we get along very happily, don't we?"
"Who do you get along well with?"
Her red and fair face was slightly red, and she glared at him angrily and said, "Whenever you show a flaw, I will definitely seize the opportunity and kill you."
"I'm so scared!"
Zhong Wen laughed and said, "But before that day comes, can you do me a favor?"
"Can I help you save someone?"
Hong Xiao had obviously guessed what he was thinking, "With your strength, why don't you take action yourself?"
"Special circumstances."
Zhong Wen's face turned red and his eyes wandered as he said, "It's inconvenient for me to show up."
"Is it?"
Hong Xiao seemed to have guessed something, and suddenly chuckled and said, "What good do I get from helping you?"
"After all, I've given you a ride for so long."
Zhong Wen sighed and said, "It's just a small favor, and you actually have the nerve to ask for it?"
"You invited me to get in the car, and I didn't want to sit in it myself."
Hong Xiao was unmoved at all, "Don't try to coerce me with this small favor."
"makes sense."
Zhong Wen stared at her fairy-like face for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing, "I wonder what kind of price it will cost to ask Sister Hongxiao to take action?"
??????55.??????
"A promise."
Hong Xiao's eyes did not avoid him, but looked at him calmly.
"promise?"
Zhong Wen's heart tightened, "What promise?"
"I have not decided yet."
A sly look flashed in his red eyes, "I'll tell you when I think of it one day."
"Sister Hongxiao, please don't look at me like this. In fact, I am actually a person who keeps my promises."
Zhong Wen said with a bitter face, "If one day you have a sudden impulse and ask me to die, maybe I will have to agree."
"If I wanted you to die, I would definitely do it myself."
Hong Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Don't worry, the promise you need to fulfill will definitely not exceed the extent of my help you this time, otherwise you can choose not to do it."
"Really?"
Zhong Wen breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly stretched out the little finger of his right hand, "Let's pull the hook."
"Hook?"
The red silk face looked confused, obviously not understanding what "drawing a hook" was.
"This is the custom in my little brother's hometown."
Zhong Wen shook his little finger and explained patiently, "Two people hooking their little fingers together represents a kind of oath. If anyone violates the agreement, something bad will happen to him."
"good."
Hong Xiao suddenly realized it, and decisively stretched out her white and tender little finger like green onion, hooking it with his, "Then just pull the hook."
Touching her smooth and delicate palm, Zhong Wen couldn't help but squint his eyes with an expression of indescribable enjoyment.
The so-called hooking is of course not just for smearing, but more like a ritual of your own decision.
For him now, once the ceremony is completed, it is considered a formal agreement and there is no need for any written contract at all.
Any party that breaches the contract will definitely pay the corresponding price.
"Let's go."
After a few breaths, Hong Xiao suddenly withdrew his fingers, stood up and greeted, "If you want to save someone, take advantage of the darkness."
"What my sister said is absolutely true."
Zhong Wen touched the little finger of the hook and stood up reluctantly, "Come with me."
While he was speaking, he flicked his fingers, and a little bird jumped out from his fingertips, flapping its wings and spinning in circles around him.
Hong Xiao's face turned slightly pale, and her expression suddenly felt unnatural.
"lead the way!"
Zhong Wen looked secretly amused and opened his mouth to give instructions.
Xiao Qiang immediately turned into a swift shadow and rushed forward with a "swish" speed as fast as lightning.
The two people quickly unfolded their movements and followed closely. They turned left and right, and nimbly shuttled through Lingyuan Palace. They were familiar with the roads, as if they were visiting their own back garden.
"These water drops..."
Hong Xiao glanced at the countless water droplets suspended in the air, and suddenly remembered something, "It seems that you can monitor the situation within the Lingyuan Palace. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Kong Ming?"
"My little brother is a little bit into the magic of illusion."
Zhong Wen replied calmly, "Now that he knows the secrets hidden in these water droplets, he will never find us again."
Illusion?
This guy is really unfathomable!
Hong Xiao looked at Zhong Wen's broad back, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
"arrive!"
Just when she was thinking a lot, Zhong Wen suddenly stopped.
"There is a secret room beneath our feet."
Hongxiao failed to brake in time and almost hit him. Before he could complain, he heard Zhong Wen say, "Ling Bixu and my friends are imprisoned inside."
"Where is the entrance?"
Hong Hao looked around, but couldn't find any opening to go down, so he asked subconsciously.
"Entrance?"
Zhong Wen chuckled, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug her slender waist, "With me here, what kind of entrance do you need?"
Before Hong Xiao could struggle, their bodies suddenly began to disappear, and they burrowed directly through the ground like ghosts.
At the same time, the color on their bodies also became lighter and lighter, eventually becoming completely transparent and no longer visible to the naked eye.
"Can you let me go?"
Hong Xiao looked at the intricate building structure underground with a surprised look on her face. She was stunned for a long time before she suddenly realized that she was still being held in Zhong Wen's arms. She couldn't help but blush and glared at him fiercely.
"Can't."
Zhong Wen shook his head seriously and said, "This trick requires contact with others to be effective. Once the two of us are separated, my sister's whereabouts will be exposed. Please be patient for a while."
Hong Xiao stared at the expression on his face, trying to judge the truth of what he said.
Before she could come to a conclusion, a figure suddenly appeared around the corner, walking quickly towards this side, passing directly through the two of them and walking straight ahead.
Seeing this person's appearance clearly, the red silk instantly turned to stone, his lips were slightly opened, and his expression was indescribably wonderful.
