Qu Le said: "I'm worried about her grandfather. Her grandfather is a city guard. I have a hunch that his old man won't be too friendly to outsiders like us. I brought Yanxiang just in case, so as to save her.
Grandpa will deal with us when the time comes, but for Yanxiang’s sake, I forgive him and he won’t dare to go too far.”
Gu Fuzhou suddenly realized: "Are you going to kidnap Yanxiang as a hostage?"
Qu Le glanced at him calmly: "Don't say it in such an ugly way, we are prepared for anything, and we didn't say what we must do to Yan Xiang. I am a good person!"
She said it as if she was not the one who threatened the little girl just now and said she would kill and rape her! Gu Fuzhou looked at her with contempt.
The road was not far, and they soon arrived at the big house that Yanxiang mentioned.
The house is very big, but it is also terribly dilapidated. There are peeling wall paintings everywhere on the walls, and the roof has completely collapsed. The whole house is almost unrecognizable.
No one would think that this kind of place would be the palace where King Yulan lives.
Although the whole house was dilapidated, the walls were still intact. After walking around it, he found that there was only one large iron door, and it was still closed. Gu Fuzhou tried to push it, but couldn't. At this time,
Xiao Yun came out and said politely: "Why don't we let our people have a try? There happens to be one of us who is good at picking locks. Maybe he can open this door."
"You are really well prepared!" Gu Fuzhou readily moved out of the way.
Xiao Yun smiled kindly at him, and immediately a short man came out from behind Xiao Yun and started tinkering with the big iron gate seriously.
Shorty
The man said: "This door lock is very complicated. There are nine interlocking chains inside, which is extremely tricky."
Gu Fuzhou asked: "Can it be solved?"
The short man touched his nose and said with a smile: "There is no lock in the world that my holy hand can't open! It just takes a little more time, just wait and see!"
Taking advantage of the free time of unlocking, Xiao Yun and Gu Fuzhou started chatting. Both sides were trying to test each other's true purpose of coming here. However, they both pretended to be confused and tried for a long time, but no one could find out anything.
Useful news.
However, it's not all useless.
Gu Fuzhou asked in surprise: "You hired a local to be your guide?"
"We are new here and are not familiar with this place, so we paid a local to help guide us." Xiao Yun did not hide it, and generously called out the local, "That's this kid, his name is Luo
Sang, he told us about the origin of Yanxiang."
Luo Sang looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, still a half-grown child. He had dark skin and a thin body. He was dressed in gray old clothes. His only pair of black eyes were very lively. It was obvious that he was a very smart child.
Gu Fuzhou looked at him and said to Xiao Yun in a sour voice: "It cost a lot of money, right?" When they first arrived in Starlight City, they also thought about finding a local as a guide, but they had no choice but to
As soon as they heard that they were going to the legendary city, they all refused to go no matter how much money was offered to them.
King Jiu happened to come over. When he heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "It didn't cost much. It was also our luck. It happened that the child's brother had
We were working as a guide for others, and after coming here, we never went back. This kid was worried about his brother, so he took the initiative to find us and said he was willing to take us into the city."
Gee, this luck is so good that it makes people jealous! Gu Fuzhou's tone became even more sour: "I wish you good luck and help him find his brother as soon as possible."
King Jiu responded calmly: "I accept your kind words."
Just as they were quarreling with each other, Jue Yu discovered that the girl wrapped in a black cloak and veil was hiding in the corner playing with something. Jue Yu curiously walked over and he stood behind her.
, I saw her stuffing something into a pancake.
Jueyu asked: "What are you doing?"
Qu Le was startled by him and almost threw out the noodle cake in her hand. She turned around and saw that the person coming was Jue Yu, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, "It's scary. You suddenly appeared from behind."
It’s scary when you come out, okay!”
Jueyu said hurriedly: "Sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
Qu Le waved his hand: "Forget it."
She rewrapped the processed noodles in oil paper, and Jue Yu asked curiously: "What did you put in the noodles?"
Qu Le grinned and smiled slyly: "Of course it's a good thing that can make people fall asleep."
Jue Yu: "..." Why does this good thing sound so much like the legendary Mongolian sweat medicine?
It happened that Yanxiang left at this time, and Qule walked up to her carrying the pancake.
Yanxiang still remembered the danger and threat she had just received, and stared at her with vigilance: "What else do you want to do?"
Qu Le immediately raised his hands to show his innocence: "I didn't want to do anything, I just saw how pitiful you were and wanted to talk to you. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you.
Look, there are so many people here, but the two of us are women. Isn’t there a saying that says why should women make things difficult for women? I actually don’t want to hurt you at all, it’s just that those weird people are really bad-hearted, and I was forced by them.
"
Hearing this, Yanxiang looked at her dubiously: "Are you telling the truth?"
Qu Le immediately raised her hands and swore: "I can swear to God!" Anyway, I don't believe in God, so God wouldn't bother to care whether she lied.
Qu Le didn't care about the oath, but the Garuda Kingdom valued it very much.
Yanxiang is a native of Jialou. As soon as she heard Qule, she could swear to the gods without hesitation. She immediately gave up her doubts and completely believed her words. Yanxiang said aggrievedly: "Then you beat me just now...
"
Seeing that her attitude softened, Qu Le quickly borrowed the donkey from the slope, and shamelessly approached her and told a load of nonsense, which soon made Yanxiang girl burst into laughter.
In the blink of an eye, the relationship between the two of them was as good as that of real sisters. They were so close.
The "weirdos" who silently watched said that creatures like women were really incomprehensible.
Qu Le took out an oil paper bag, put it into Yan Xiang's hand, and said affectionately: "Are you hungry? This is the pancake I bought in Starlight City. It's scallion flavored. It's delicious.
Although it’s a bit cold, just make do with something to eat first, and wait until I go to Starlight City to buy you something delicious!”
Yanxiang looked at her movedly: "You are so kind!"
Facing the little girl's bright and cute eyes, Qu Le coughed twice: "Eat quickly. If it's not enough, I have some more here."
Yan Xiang, who completely trusted Qu Le, immediately peeled off the oil paper, grabbed the dough and bit into it.
She took a big bite. Her face became bulging after eating, and she said vaguely: "It's so thick!"
Qu Le chuckled and said, "It's delicious, just eat more."
Jueyu, who was standing not far away and saw this scene, couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression, lowered his head and silently recited Amitabha.
Yanxiang quickly ate the entire noodle cake.
Not long after, Yanxiang rolled her eyes and fainted completely.
Qu Le handed the unconscious Yanxiang to Lan Li and said, "The amount of medicine I used should be enough to make her sleep for most of the day. She is our protector now, so you have to take good care of her."
Lang Li, who was forced to become an accomplice, expressed that his conscience was very uneasy. He struggled and said hesitantly: "Isn't it unkind for us to do this?"
Qu Le snorted twice: "Women's kindness! This is called getting the greatest life protection at the lowest price! Besides, isn't it just a little sweat medicine? Once you wake up, nothing will happen. It's not at all
What can you not tolerate if it causes any harm to her?"
Lan Li whispered: "Her body was not harmed, but her psychology must have been harmed..." One second they were like sisters, and in the next moment they were drugged and knocked unconscious by the other party. This is something that will never happen in Yan Yan
It left an indelible shadow on Xiang Meizi's young mind.
As expected, the more beautiful a woman is, the more unbelievable she is!
With a crisp unlocking sound, the door slowly opened.
Gu Fuzhou and King Jiu each sent one person to investigate. After confirming that there was no danger, they walked in.
Pieces of the collapsed roof fell all over the ground, and the sun shone in, making the light and shadow mottled.
The surrounding walls are all covered with murals. Due to the time
Over time, the color of the murals has faded a lot, and the pictures have become blurry, and even peeled off in some places. Even so, Qu Yue still enjoyed watching the murals. The murals depict the festival scenes of the ancient Garuda Kingdom.
The picture is very festive, and the painter was very attentive in making every smiling face in the picture lifelike.
Qu Le just watched quietly and was infected by the joyful atmosphere in the words.
She thought of the ancient Garuda Kingdom she had seen in her fantasy. At that time, Yu Lan and Eve were gathered around the bonfire with everyone. They sang and danced, tasting various fine wines and delicacies, and the beautiful moonlight almost illuminated the entire city.
Intoxicated.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Yun walked up to her at some point and saw her staring at the mural in a daze, so he couldn't help but ask aloud.
Qule turned to look at him and said, "I think the people in Gujialou Kingdom live a very happy life."
Xiao Yun nodded in agreement: "Well, they are very rich, both materially and spiritually."
He paused, looked at her and asked, "Although it's a bit abrupt to ask this suddenly, I still want to introduce myself. My name is Xiao Yun. I wonder what your surname is?"
Qu Le said calmly: "My surname is Sun."
Xiao Yun cupped his hands, smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sun."
At this time, Gu Fuzhou shouted to Qu Le: "Miss Sun, there is a door over here, come here quickly!"
Qu Le and Xiao Yun walked over together.
Everyone gathered in front of the door. The door was locked. The short man known as the Master Thief took the initiative to take on the task of unlocking the door. This time the lock was unexpectedly simple. He inserted a steel wire into the door.
Enter the keyhole and twist it left and right twice
, the door lock was opened instantly.
Behind the door is a dark staircase, which seems to lead somewhere underground.
Human beings have a natural fear of darkness. Everyone hesitated at the door. Qule sneered, took the torch from a man beside him, and walked down the stairs first: "I'll go take a look first. If there's no danger, you guys
Come down again."
Seeing that a woman can be so brave makes all the men feel ashamed. (To be continued)
