I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The night was as dark as ink, weighing heavily on the capital, as if it was going to swallow up this prosperous city. Chen Jue and Chen Jia, with the shocking evidence obtained from the black cloak, knew that they had become the primary target of King Zhao's revenge. They did not dare to slack off and stepped up their preparations to present the evidence to the emperor. However, King Zhao's revenge was following them like a shadow, coming faster than they imagined.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia were on their way back home, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Suddenly, a group of men in black rushed out from rooftops and street corners like ghosts, holding sharp blades and rushing towards them.

"Protect yourself, sister!" Chen Jue shouted, and quickly drew his sword to meet the enemy. Chen Jia also drew the dagger from his waist, and stood back to back with Chen Jue, watching the enemies around them vigilantly.

The black-clad men were well-trained, their moves were fierce and deadly. Chen Jue's swordsmanship was sharp, and every sword accurately blocked the enemy's attack, but the enemy was numerous and they gradually fell into trouble.

"Ajue, there are too many of them, we have to find a way to escape!" Chen Jia shouted.

"Go that way!" Chen Jue looked in a direction and fought with Chen Jia while retreating. However, the men in black were chasing them closely, and new enemies kept joining the battle.

During the fierce fight, Chen Jue and Chen Jia were accidentally forced into a remote alley. At the end of the alley was a wall that seemed to have no way out, but in a panic, Chen Jue found a secret entrance next to the wall, which seemed to lead to a dark room underground.

"Sister, this way!" Chen Jue pulled Chen Jia into the dark room entrance. Seeing this, the men in black also followed in.

The dark room was dark, filled with an old and decayed smell. Chen Jue and Chen Jia groped their way forward, and behind them were the chaotic footsteps of the men in black.

"Ajue, it's too dark here. I can't see anything." Chen Jia said nervously.

"Watch your step, sister." Chen Jue said as she listened vigilantly to the movements around her.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a mechanism being activated in front of him. Chen Jue was startled, he knew that this dark room must be full of various dangerous mechanisms.

"Sister, there is a mechanism, follow me!" Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand tightly and carefully avoided the trigger points on the ground.

The men in black were chasing them closely, but they were not as cautious as they were. After a few screams, some of the men in black triggered the traps and were shot by hidden arrows or trapped.

"Humph, these mechanisms have helped us a lot." Chen Jue said, but he knew that they were still not out of danger.

Continuing to go deeper into the dark room, they found a huge stone chamber in front of them. There were some ancient bookshelves and stone tables in the stone chamber, and the walls were engraved with strange runes.

"This looks like an ancient secret room. Maybe it hides some secrets." Chen Jia said as he looked around.

"Let's find an exit first. We shouldn't stay here for long." Chen Jue responded.

However, just as they were looking for an exit, the remaining men in black caught up with them, and the two sides were in a standoff again.

"You can't escape!" a man in black said viciously.

"Then let's give it a try!" Chen Jue was not afraid and was ready to fight again.

At this moment, Chen Jue discovered that some of the bookshelves in the stone chamber were arranged in a strange way, as if they were arranged according to some kind of formation. He had an idea that perhaps this was the key to unlocking the secret room.

"Sister, let's go over there and take a look at the bookshelves." Chen Jue pulled Chen Jia towards the bookshelves.

Seeing this, the men in black thought they were looking for a place to hide, and rushed over immediately. But when they approached the bookshelf, a new mechanism was triggered. Some huge stone balls rolled out from the dark holes in the wall and crushed towards everyone.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Jue yelled, pulling Chen Jia behind a bookshelf. The men in black fled in panic, and many of them were hit by the stone balls, screaming in agony.

"Ajue, look, there are some symbols on these bookshelves. They seem to be related to the runes on the wall." Chen Jia said, pointing to the marks on the bookshelf.

Chen Jue observed carefully and found that these symbols and runes seemed to be pointing in a direction. He looked in the direction indicated by the symbols and found a stone door hidden in the stone wall.

"Sister, that might be the exit!" Chen Jue said excitedly.

They ran towards the stone door, but it was tightly closed and there was no obvious mechanism to open it.

"There must be a way to open it." Chen Jue groped around the stone door.

At this time, some of the men in black escaped from the pursuit of the stone balls and surrounded them.

"There's no time, Ajue!" Chen Jia looked anxiously at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.

Chen Jue suddenly remembered the symbols on the bookshelf. He ran to the bookshelf and pushed a few bookshelves in the order of the symbols. Just as the last bookshelf was in place, the stone door roared and slowly opened.

"Hurry up!" Chen Jue and Chen Jia rushed into the stone gate. Behind the stone gate was a narrow passage with a faint light flashing in it.

They ran desperately along the passage, with the angry shouts of the men in black behind them. The passage was not smooth sailing either, with small hidden weapons being fired from time to time, but they relied on their agility and cooperation to escape danger time and time again.

"Ajue, we can't keep running like this, we have to find a way to get rid of them." Chen Jia said, panting.

"Sister, look ahead!" Chen Jue pointed to a fork in the road ahead.

They came to a fork in the road, and Chen Jue found that there were some traces of being touched on the wall of one of the passages, as if the man in black had explored it in advance.

"Let's go this way." Chen Jue chose another passage.

The passage became narrower and narrower, until only one person could pass through. Chen Jue asked Chen Jia to go first, and he stayed behind to prevent the man in black from catching up.

After walking for a while, the passage suddenly opened up and a huge underground cave appeared. In the cave was a bottomless pool with some naturally formed stone bridges above it.

"Let's go over the stone bridge." said Chen Jue.

They stepped onto the stone bridge carefully, but the stone bridge looked solid but was actually very fragile. When Chen Jue was halfway there, the stone bridge suddenly broke.

"Ajue!" Chen Jia exclaimed.

Chen Jue reacted quickly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the stone bridge. Chen Jia quickly reached out to pull him.

"Sister, don't worry about me, you go first!" Chen Jue shouted.

"No, I won't leave you!" Chen Jia grabbed Chen Jue's hand tightly and pulled it up hard.

At this moment, the men in black also caught up with them. When they saw the plight of Chen Jue and Chen Jia, their faces turned grim.

"You will all die here today!" said the man in black, rushing towards them.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia were extremely anxious, as they knew that if they were caught up by the men in black, they would have no chance of escape.

"Sister, let's work together!" Chen Jue shouted, and with the help of Chen Jia, he struggled to climb onto the stone bridge.

The two continued to run on the stone bridge, and the man in black behind them also caught up. But the stone bridge was narrow, and only one man in black could pass at a time, which gave Chen Jue and Chen Jia a chance to catch their breath.

"We have to find a way to destroy the stone bridge and stop them." Chen Jue said.

They searched for ways to destroy the stone bridge and found some loose stones on it. Chen Jue and Chen Jia worked together to lift the stones and threw them at the black-clad man who was chasing them.

The men in black were unable to dodge and were hit by the rocks, falling into the pool. At the same time, the impact of the rocks also caused the stone bridge to start to shake.

"Let's go!" Chen Jue pulled Chen Jia and ran to the other side of the pool before the stone bridge collapsed completely.

The man in black was trapped on the other side of the pool and could only watch them leave.

"Finally got rid of them." Chen Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not over yet, sister. We have to leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place." Chen Jue looked around vigilantly.

They continued to search for an exit in the cave and found a place where there was a breeze. Following the direction of the wind, they found a hidden cave entrance.

After climbing out of the cave, they found themselves far away from the center of the capital. At this time, the sky gradually brightened and the light of dawn shone on them.

"Let's find a place to hide and sort out our thoughts." Chen Jue said.

They came to a remote village and temporarily settled down in an abandoned hut.

"Ajue, this time it was really dangerous. King Zhao has gone crazy in order to stop us." Chen Jia said with lingering fear.

"Sister, we can't be scared by him. Although it is dangerous this time, we have also obtained some clues. That dark room and cave don't look simple, and may have a deeper connection with King Zhao's conspiracy." Chen Jue analyzed.

"You mean, King Zhao might use these underground secret rooms to carry out some unspeakable activities?" Chen Jia asked.

"It's possible. We have to find an opportunity to go back and investigate. However, now we have to present the evidence in our hands safely to the emperor." Chen Jue said.

"Well, this time we must be fully prepared and not let King Zhao take advantage of any opportunity." Chen Jia said firmly.

After a short rest, they decided to return to the capital in disguise. Along the way, they were careful to avoid possible dangers. After returning to the capital, they contacted the prince and informed him of the evidence and the attack they had encountered.

The prince was furious after hearing this: "How dare the King of Zhao be so bold! I will not let him go. You should hide in a safe place first. I will arrange for someone to protect you and report this to my father at the same time."

Under the arrangement of the prince, Chen Jue and Chen Jia were placed in a secret residence. However, they knew that the life-and-death contest with King Zhao was far from over, and they had to remain vigilant at all times until King Zhao was thoroughly exposed and punished.

As time goes by, the court is in turmoil because of the matter of Prince Zhao. After the emperor learns the truth, he orders a thorough investigation of Prince Zhao, and the entire capital is shrouded in a tense atmosphere. As the core figures of this storm, Chen Jue and Chen Jia, their fate is closely intertwined with the fate of the court, waiting for the final judgment and victory.
