Thorn silk gl

After an unknown period of time, the explosion finally stopped.Fu Wan felt his ears go numb, and his eyes were spinning.

There was a few splashes in the lake, and the palace servants who knew water jumped down one after another to fish for people.

The guards ran around and shouted loudly: "There are assassins! Seal the palace and let no one out!"

Fu Wan suddenly looked at Bai Chan.The two of them sneaked into Changle Palace, if they were found out, they might cause big trouble.

Bai Chan obviously thought of this too, taking advantage of the chaos of the guards and maids without a leader, she scooped up Fu Wan, climbed up the roof lightly, and ran straight to the outside of Changle Palace.

Their movement immediately attracted the attention of the guards.

The guards serving in front of the imperial court were not vegetarians either, so they immediately followed up with their knives in hand.Bai Chan is proficient in lightness skills, but suffers from not being familiar with the way in the palace, so she can't get rid of them for a while.Fu Wan looked around, and saw that all the palace roads were lit with fire, and near the palace walls there were even more open flames, and a defense line composed of archers was set up.

She made a decisive decision: "Get off the roof!"

Bai Chan didn't say anything, just hugged her and jumped down.The soil in the imperial garden was moist and soft, and there was almost no sound when stepped on. The white cicada was as light as a cat, jumping over several bushes one after another, and the two finally landed behind a rockery.

There was already chaos outside, but the imperial garden was still quiet.The deep black Yuhu Lake reflects the dim light of the paper lanterns, swaying and reflecting on the rock wall. When Fuwan looked up, what he saw was the sparkling water above his head.

Bai Chan leaned against the rock, closed her eyes, her pale face was slightly reddish.

Fu Wan suspected that she was ill again, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Bai?"

Before she could speak, Bai Chan suddenly picked up a piece of gravel and bounced it behind her.

Swish - slam!

The flake hit some kind of metal product and rolled to the ground, as if someone drew a knife to block the blow.

Bai Chan pulled Fu Wan behind her and said hoarsely, "Who is it?"

There was no answer in the depths of the darkness.

Bai Chan said coldly: "If you don't come out, I will kill you."

Her breath was cold, and she didn't seem to be joking at all, but the other party still didn't answer.Fu Wan leaned against her side holding his breath, his heart beating slightly faster due to nervousness.

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, a weak female voice sounded: "Heng Ze, don't."

Fu Wan was taken aback, surprised: "Miss Lin?" She didn't die?Wait, who did she call just now, Chu Heng?When did these two get together?

A fire was lit in the dark.

With the light of the fire, Fu Wan could see clearly the drenched Chu Hengze.She looked extremely embarrassed, the hand holding the knife trembled slightly, there were a few sporadic wounds on her flanks and arms, and the lower half of her body was soaked in someone's blood.

——It wasn't that she didn't want to speak just now, but that she was really speechless.

Lin Ruhui was half lying and half leaning on the ground behind her.She had a long scar on her face, which was quite scary, and there were some burn marks all over her body, but other than that, she was fine.She looked up to see Fu Wan, and smiled weakly.

Fu Wan said: "Hey, are you really going to die?"

Lin Ruhui said softly, "Toefl, I will live longer than you."

"Well, I still have the strength to swear, it seems that the disaster will last for thousands of years." Fu Wan said bluntly, but tore off a skirt, squatted down and tied the wound for her.

Lin Ruhui raised his eyes, circled around Bai Chan and Fu Wan ambiguously, and said, "Haven't you told her yet?"

Fu Wan exerted a little force on her knotted hands, and she let out a "hiss" in pain.Fu Wan said, "What's none of your business?"

Lin Ruhui: "Then what should I call you, Dian..."

Fu Wan covered her mouth, gritted his teeth, and said, "If you leaked something to her, I don't mind if you leak a few words to Chu Heng. You can't hide your plan from me."

They spoke softly and quickly, even Bai Chan couldn't hear them clearly.Lin Ruhui blinked to admit defeat, and Fuwan let her go.

Chu Heng hesitated to speak: "Well, be gentle, she was injured just now..."

Fu Wan: "Does your heart hurt?"

Chu Heng's face became hot, and he said dully: "But she, she was injured for me."

Lin Ruhui looked at her with a smile, and said empathetically, "Well, there's no need to say these things. I'm also very grateful for your willingness to sacrifice yourself and jump down to save me."

Fuwan wanted to retch when he heard this, and thought that Lin Ruhui was really a fox who had been trained for thousands of years.If she is really understanding, she can say that she took the initiative to light the fireworks purely on a whim, and she just avoided the important and ignored the trivial, and made up so many nasty words.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Chu Heng looked even more guilty.

Bai Chan suddenly said, "Someone is coming this way." She listened for a while, and added, "Many people."

Fu Wan squinted at Lin Ruhui: "You sneaked out of Changle Palace by waterway and hid here again, you must not want others to find out, right?"

Lin Ruhui didn't buy it, shrugged and didn't answer.

Fu Wan: "It's okay if you don't say anything, we'll just wait here together and see if the guards catch you two wounded first, or catch me first."

Lin Ruhui glared at her, and said softly, "Help me up."

Chu Heng bent down and carried her on his back.It was only then that Fu Wan discovered that her back was the most seriously injured. The cloth was scorched black by the heat wave of the explosion, and she wondered if her skin was also burned.

The wound was drawn during the movement, and a piece of tender red flesh was turned out. Fuwan felt a little hurt for her when he saw it, but Lin Ruhui just frowned slightly.She pointed to the depths of the rockery cave, and motioned Chu Heng to go there.

The two of them, Fu Wan, looked at each other, and raised their legs to follow them.They walked all the way in along the corridor, only the torches could barely illuminate the limited distance in front of them, the cave was damp, and the stone walls were covered with moss, and if they accidentally rubbed it, it would feel greasy to the touch.There are layers of white insect shells attached to the moss, which makes people dare not look closely.

As he walked further in, Fuwan gasped in surprise.They twisted and turned, they had already deviated from the original corridor, and went deep into the belly of the rockery.She never knew that there was such a mystery hidden in this rockery, how did Lin Ruhui know it?

Another piece of vines covering the entire rock was lifted up, revealing a long and endless corridor behind.Fu Wan frowned and said, "Where does this road lead? If you go around and are still in the imperial garden, wouldn't it be a cocoon?"

Lin Ruhui whispered, "Here we are."

Fu Wan: "?"

Lin Ruhui strenuously propped up his upper body, stretched out his pale fingers, and groped for the wall.This stone wall is no different from before, covered with moss, dust and hard-shelled bugs.

Lin Ruhui touched for a moment, then suddenly his fingers sank in, as if he had grasped some mechanism hidden behind the moss.She pressed and twisted hard, and there were several crisp sounds of the mechanism returning to its place in the empty room.

Soon, the ground shook slightly, and there was the sound of thick rocks rubbing against each other.

Fu Wan looked around, and the ground in front of her slowly cracked a crack, which continued to expand, and after a while, a brand new tunnel was revealed.

Lin Ruhui said briefly: "Let's go."

They could hear the sound of someone running back and forth above their heads. It was obvious that the guards had chased to the Imperial Garden and were searching for their traces.Without further ado, Bai Chan glanced at the pitch-black hole and said decisively, "I'll go down first."

Fu Wan stopped her, turned her head and stretched out her hand to Lin Ruhui: "Here."

Lin Ruhui pretended to be stupid: "Huh?"

Fu Wan said impatiently, "I know you have a soft sword for self-defense at your waist, take it out." She paused, and seeing that Lin Ruhui didn't answer, she urged, "You're so injured, what's the use of holding a weapon for nothing? Oh, or we change, you go down first."

Lin Ruhui smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't say no." She raised her hand to untie her belt, and with a backhand twitch, she saw a flash of cold light, and unexpectedly pulled out a sharp soft sword from under the belt.

With another shake, the sword pointed straight at the ground, she casually took a sword flower, and cut off a small piece of stone.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Ruhui turned the hilt of his sword and handed it to Bai Chan.

"Don't break it," she muttered while staring at the sword reluctantly, "this is my favorite sword."

Bai Chan weighed the weight, looked up again, and said: "Good sword." This sword is very sharp, and the blade is extremely thin, so it is so soft that it can be bent and wrapped around the waist.

Lin Ruhui snorted: "That's natural."

With the weapon in hand, Bai Chan didn't hesitate at all, and jumped straight down the edge of the cave.Fu Wan worriedly stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down. After a while, she heard her voice: "Safe!"

Fu Wan was the second to jump down, and was directly caught in her arms.Bai Chan supported her waist firmly with both arms, weighed her waist, and asked doubtfully, "Are you light again?"

The darkness magnified the sense of touch, Fuwan felt itchy when she touched her, and shyly broke away from her embrace.Fortunately the hole was dark enough not to reveal her flushed face.

After a while, Chu Heng slowly climbed down with Lin Ruhui on his back.

After landing safely, Lin Ruhui pressed a raised mechanism by the wall, and the hole above his head was slowly sealed. The thick stone wall instantly cut off all light and sound.

Fu Wan said, "Then, where are you going?"

Lin Ruhui paused for a moment, and said briefly: "There is only one way, go forward, and there will be light."

She couldn't see her appearance clearly in the dark, but hearing her voice was very weak, Fu Wan frowned: "Don't really die."

Lin Ruhui smiled softly, then lay back on Chu Hengze's shoulders, closing his eyes tiredly to rest his mind.

They relit the fire folder and set off to move forward.Fu Wan noticed that this road had obvious traces of artificial construction. The stone walls on both sides were smooth and clean, with occasional moss in the gaps.

The tunnel was extremely quiet, there was no sound of water drops, no rustling of small animals, only their footsteps echoed in the long and empty tunnel.

The scene was so depressing that everyone didn't speak, but just drove on in silence.However, just after turning the second fork, a faintly flickering light appeared in front of their eyes.

The light was dim, glowing faintly at the end of the road, but inspired them like a desert oasis.Fu Wan regained his spirits and quickened his tired pace.

—As long as there is light, there is hope.

At this moment, Lin Ruhui suddenly opened his eyes.She whispered: "Walk softly, don't disturb anyone."

"People?" Fu Wan was puzzled, "Is there anyone else here?"

Lin Ruhui shook his head: "Whether it's human or not, who can tell? If there is a light, it means that it is approaching the residence of 'it', so be careful."

"'it'?"

Lin Ruhui didn't answer any more, and closed his eyes again to rest his mind.

There was no wind blowing in the cave, but Fuwan shuddered out of thin air, and his back was covered in white sweat.Subconsciously, she leaned closer to Bai Chan, who froze slightly, then stretched out her hand to wrap her shoulders.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
