The mountain wind in winter is particularly harsh. Fu Nian couldn't help but hold the reins tightly when he reached the familiar mountain gate.

After being absent-minded for a moment, he quickly caught up with Chu Qianqi who was in front of the large army.

Along the way, Fu Erxue became honest and did not try to leave the team and act alone.

Just after noon, the large troops began to camp on the plain.

Fu Nian was helping the soldiers sort the medicinal herbs when he saw Instructor Han walking towards him, "I heard that you want to enter the stone room with the detachment that entered Yaoyue Gate?"

"Yes." Fu Nian raised his head quickly, "The roads at the border of Yaoyue Gate are winding, and my subordinates are familiar with them. Even though Fu Bie helped you draw a detailed map when he was awake, the real road conditions are very different from those on the map. Please let us know The subordinates act together."

Fu Nian understood that he came to this operation purely because Chu Chaoyi indulged him in seeing Fu Zhen's disaster with his own eyes, and his wish to see Fu Shijiu, and he didn't need to participate in anything.

But to be honest, Fu Nian didn't particularly trust Chu Qianqi and the others in their ability to act, especially for dragging out Fu Shijiu's "corpse". He always felt that things were not that simple.

"I don't know where your self-confidence comes from. I feel that you know the way better than the map." Coach Han didn't agree or refuse, and glanced at him confidently, "But I can't agree. You are not allowed to leave the team, and you are not allowed to participate in the struggle unless necessary... Although I don't know why your majesty feels that you need to be protected with your martial arts, but since your majesty said it, I can only do it."

Fu Twenty: ...

From the looks of it, Chu Chaoyi probably didn't reveal his true identity.

He didn't beg anymore, and continued to sort the herbs.

At the end of noon, he saw Chu Qianqi's detachment enter the mountain with Fu Bie on his back, and he sighed.

Only he and a few accompanying military doctors were left in the small camp, as well as Instructor Han and a few soldiers under his command, looking at the map and discussing something in secret.

From time to time, Coach Han would come out of the tent to make sure he was there.

Fu Nian helplessly continued to sort the herbs.

If he left the team without permission, there would definitely be soldiers looking for him, which would not only cause trouble for the large army, but also Coach Han would not be able to escape being held accountable.

Before finishing distributing the herbs, Fu Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Suddenly, the color of signal smoke came from the mountain stream, and at the same time when Fu Nian turned his head, he saw Coach Han and other soldiers coming out.

"It's Chu Qianqi and the others who got lost!"

"Didn't they have maps and signposts?"

"Although Qian Qi was born as a shadow guard, his experience is limited...Although we can't expect him to compare with Lord Chu or Lord Fu who was beside His Majesty before, but such low-level mistakes as getting lost..."

Fu Er pretended to be nonchalant and continued to check the herbs.

After listening to their discussion for a while, Fu Nian dared to intervene, "Master Han, this subordinate knows where they probably lost their way. This subordinate is really familiar with the boundary of Yaoyue Gate. Let this subordinate enter the mountain." He didn't need to ask. The tone seemed to be unilaterally informing the other party, "Your Majesty only said that if it is not necessary, the subordinates are not allowed to participate, but there is no extra time for them to delay on the road. And as Lord Han said, this subordinate's martial arts... It’s no one’s turn to protect you.”

After finishing speaking, Fu Nian looked at the other party's expression shaken.

"Your Majesty promises to get back safely. If your Majesty asks, the credit is due to Mr. Han. The crime is that this subordinate left the team and acted alone." After Fu Nian finished speaking, he began to skillfully fill the medicine bag with commonly used herbs. Fill the water bladder with clean water.

"Then you, be careful."

Hearing these words, Fu Shiran ran away without looking back.

On the first boundary of Yaoyue Gate, Fu Yan noticed Chu Qianqi and the others.

There are many forks in the first boundary, and all of them are similar, so it is easy for outsiders to get lost.

He followed quickly, and sure enough, he saw Chu Qianqi and the others in the blind corner of the cave, with the killed beast beside him, and the blood was still fresh.

Fu Twenty: "Why are you here?"

"It's marked here on the map—"

"This way, follow me." Fu Nian didn't listen to his explanation, and dragged Fu Bie, who was sleeping on the ground, with his back behind him, and ran out of the dead end in the opposite direction, "There's no time to delay here, let's go."

"Wait, why are you here?"

"Coach Han agreed, don't ask too many questions, just follow me."

"But--"

"I know the way better than the map." Fu Nian replied calmly.

After finishing speaking, he didn't explain any more, and ran towards the route he had visited last time with ease.

Carrying Fu Bie on his back, after running for a long time, Fu Tian began to pant.

Shen.

In addition to Fu Bie's weight, he always felt that there were other weights falling below his waist. The strength was not great, but the feeling could not be ignored.

In the past, carrying a man as big as Chu Chaoyi on his back had never felt so tiring running.

As the sky was getting dark, Fu Nian didn't dare to slow down, so he could only take a big breath to relieve the discomfort on his body.

"This side is drawn on the map!" Chu Qianqi's voice sounded from behind.

Fu Nian yelled back impatiently: "I've been fooled by the map once, why don't I have a long memory! Fu Bie framed you!"

"Why did he lie to us?"

Fu Twenty: ...

After taking a few breaths, he still shouted, "Because it was Fu Zhen who picked him up and raised him, not you, nor me. It is impossible to betray him without reservation! You can recite any more words!"

Sure enough, after shouting this sentence, Chu Qianqi didn't say anything more.

The twilight fog gradually thickened, and finally, Fu Nian found the former site of Yaoyue Gate in the white night.

There is still unmelted snow on the roof, which adds a little softness to the barrenness.

Fu Nian stopped in the familiar courtyard for a moment, took a breath, picked up Fu Bie again, and ran towards the secret passage behind the study.

"Qianqi, leave someone to light the signal smoke outside. We will light it after a quarter of an hour after we go in. I will take Fu Shijiu out through another secret door later. When you stay behind, pay attention to the smoke. I will tell you later. Your water escape route." Before entering the door, Fu Nian ordered.

Seeing that Chu Qianqi had distributed the rest of the forbidden army, Fu Nian ran underground.

The stone room was very dark, the long lights on both sides were dim, and the turbid air was somewhat dull.

Thinking of the horrific scene last time... Fu Nian pondered that it would be fine if he couldn't see it, because if he couldn't see it, he wouldn't be afraid.

Finally, Fu Nian slowed down.

"Even the guards, why is there still water dripping here?" Chu Qianqi lit a faint fire in her hand, barely able to keep up with Fu Nian's footsteps, all she knew was that there was a drop of liquid hitting the hair crown, "It still stinks... ..."

Fu Nian wanted to say that the liquid dripping from the top of his head was probably not the spring water from the mountain stream, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it out, but just reminded him gently, "Well, there will be water in the rocks. Just don't look up if you're fine. .”

Chu Qianqi didn't want to raise her head at first, but upon hearing what he said, she carefully lifted the flint above her head and looked up.

——I saw a semi-dehydrated boy hanging upside down, his eyes were empty, his mouth was wide open, his teeth were corroded black and yellow, and an unknown liquid was continuously dripping from his mouth.

"—!"

Fu Nian realized that Chu Qianqi behind him wanted to speak out, so he quickly turned around and covered his mouth.

"I told you not to look around, wasting time."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Only then did Fu Nian let go of his hand, snatched the flint from Qian Qi's hand, and searched for the specific location where Fu Nineteen's sarcophagus was stored.

"This way." Noticing the brightly colored jade coffin, Fu Nian quickened his pace.

The boy lying in the sarcophagus was still dressed in a moon-white robe, his eyebrows were like stars, and his face was like a bright moon.Holding the long sword in his hand, and the prosthetic limb Fu Shi used when he was a child, he just fell asleep quietly.

It's just that compared with the last time, there are obvious signs of being moved.

Fu Bian carefully put the sleeping Fu Bie in, arranged the counterfeit long sword and prosthetic limbs prepared in advance, and dragged Fu Nineteen out of the sarcophagus.

Although he couldn't feel Fu Shijiu's breath, his body was soft. He could even hold the prosthetic arm of the long sword tightly.

... When he died, did he also lie in the palace in this state?It will not rot, and the body is even soft. It is difficult to give people the illusion that they are dead... Fu Nian couldn't help but think.

After tying Fu Nineteen to his back, Fu Niancai turned his head to look at Chu Qianqi, "After I leave, I will seal the secret passage and set fire to the oiled haystack outside. There is a spring in the southeast corner, and the corridor does not count." It is fast, leading to the outside world. After the fire burns here, you can escape by water. If Fu Bie wakes up, if you want to survive, you can go there more conveniently. As for Fu Zhenru, if you want to escape, the forbidden army outside will naturally arrest you. Don’t worry. .”

"Okay. But even the guards...why do you feel like you are dragging me to carry out the mission?" Qian Qi said while placing Fu Bie in the coffin according to the picture.

Fu Than twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, "Then take care. I'll take a step forward."

Just finished speaking, before he took two steps, Fu Nian suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature was much hotter than when he came in.

It's just that it's cold near the sarcophagus, so I didn't notice it immediately.

"Qianqi, did you just order the soldiers to light the flares outside? How does it feel... as if the fire wire was ignited in advance?"

"That's right, I ordered them to light the signal in [-] minutes..." Before Chu Qianqi could finish speaking, seeing the anxious face of the opposite person, she hurriedly stopped, and tested the outside temperature with her hands, "What's wrong? Didn't the temperature change?"

Fu Nian reacted quickly and hurriedly ordered, "Carry Fu Bie on your back. Let's go together now, don't care if this fire can force Fu Zhen out, there will be plenty of opportunities to capture Fu Zhen in the future."

After finishing speaking, Fu Nian didn't give Qian Qi a chance to refute, he picked up the hemp rope on the ground and prepared to force him to carry Fu Bie on his back.

Chu Qianqi shook off Fu Nian's hand, refusing to carry Fu Bie on his back and run away now.

"What are you doing? Your Majesty told us to catch that Fu Zhen! You can leave if you want, drag me now—"

"Listen to me!" Fu Nian didn't expect the other party to be disobedient at such a time, and hurriedly growled.

"This mission was given to me by Coach Han. I shouldn't have taken you. Why did I listen to you? Why am I leaving if I haven't completed the mission? Do you think everyone is as quick as you to knock out your colleagues—"

Fu Nian didn't wait for him to finish, so he raised his hand, but didn't hit him, trying to scare him.

He could understand that the last time Qianqi was stunned left a lot of shadows on him.But he knew the situation of Yaoyuemen better than all the shadow guards, so he had to leave now.

In the past, he never needed teammates for travel missions, and he always walked alone, killing people without turning back.This time Fu Nian did not want to cause trouble to others, so he never left the team along the way.

Now Fu Nianzhen regrets why he didn't leave the team earlier and act alone.

During the stalemate, the temperature in the stone chamber rose a bit.

"..."

Seeing that Fu Nian could not be persuaded, he simply ignored Chu Qianqi's life and death, and turned his back on Fu Shijiu behind his back.

Just before he took a step, all the long lights in the stone room were lit up, and suddenly, there were many figures hanging upside down on the ground.

Fu Nian quickened his pace, only to hear the whistling of flying blades coming from behind.

The move was precise and fast, he quickly dodged to avoid injury to Fu Shijiu behind him.

"As expected of the apprentice I taught, he is so keenly aware of changes in the ambient temperature. It's just that you haven't learned well. I told you as a teacher since you were young, don't be friends with stupid people, let alone be concerned about the death of stupid people. Pity, they deserve it." The voice came from the dark, extremely lazy, with a hint of sarcasm.

Although no figure was seen, Fu Yan had already guessed who it was.

He hurriedly turned his head, just in time to see Chu Qianqi's right shoulder was pierced by a long blade, and blood burst out.

Fu Nian didn't care much, and continued to run towards the secret door with Fu Nineteen on his back.

Before he got there, the voice behind him sounded again.

"Don't run away. The two secret passages you mentioned have been sealed. Those soldiers outside who are in the way, tsk, are really in the way. They didn't forget to light the signal smoke before they died..."

Fu Nian ignored the voice behind him.

Push the lock ring according to the position in memory, and sure enough, the Shimen didn't move at all, and it was completely sealed.

Footsteps approached.

Fu Nian hurriedly tried to break the lock with the floating dagger in his hand, but after a few attempts to no avail, he hurried towards the spring.

He could hear the footsteps behind him still following him unhurriedly.

Fu Nian didn't look back, and with Fu Nineteen behind him behind his back, a slam dunk plunged into the spring.

The surging spring water in the impression has now become a pool of stagnant water.The tunnel that used to pass people has been blocked by boulders.

Fu Nian held his breath and tried to push the boulder.

The boulder was motionless.

Fu Nian didn't give up, until he was about to run out of breath, he dragged his heavy limbs upstream in an attempt to take a breath.

It's just that there is still a grown man on his back, and no matter how hard he goes upstream, his body is gradually sinking.

Suddenly, he felt something tugging at him.

For a moment, he thought it was Fu Shijiu who woke up.

But at the moment when he came out of the water, seeing the man in front of him, Fu Yan even swallowed the cough that was choking on the water. He was lifted by the back of the collar, like a small animal just fished out of the water, and his hands still refused to admit defeat. holding a dagger.Fu Shijiu, who was on his back, had fallen to the ground, and the hemp rope fell off.

"Ah Nian, as a teacher, I know that you will come back again." Fu Zhen said indifferently, seeing the floating light dagger in Fu Nian's hand, his originally indifferent expression suddenly tightened, and his voice became a little more hostile, "Look Come on, did that old fox make you change your mind?"
