The young man's eyes were fierce, he seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse. An'an had been well-clothed since he was born, and he had never seen such a place, such a person, his mouth was covered, and he could not make a sound. Under the fear, the tears stopped Can't stop flowing down.

"Don't cry," the boy obviously had no experience in comforting others, he hurriedly wiped away his tears, "I'll let you go, don't make a sound, don't run around, okay?"

Ann choked and nodded.

The boy let go of him.

An An hiccupped, teardrops rolled in his eyes, and he held back the tears. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Where is this place? Why am I here? I want to go back..."

The light is dim, and An An can't see the whole picture of the place clearly. He can only roughly judge that the place is dirty, messy, and smells an unpleasant smell. He knows that he is probably not with Princess Shuhui and the concubine. It will never appear in such a place.

"This is an underground dark city. As for how you came here, I saw a couple who brought you here. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, but you were dressed in high-quality materials. It seems that they are not their kind, maybe they were kidnapped. , do you want to be with your parents?"

The cloak wrapped around An'an was opened, and he stretched out his small hand and wiped his face: "I think."

"Then be obedient, and I'll take you out." Seeing that although the child is young, he can listen to the words and not cry or make noise, the boy heaved a sigh of relief. It is impossible to take people away.

The initial fear passed away, and An An began to be curious about the identity of the boy. He looked up and saw that the boy was very worn out, with many holes in his robe, his face and body were covered with stains, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

The boy carried the child on his back. It was not the first time he had done this kind of thing, but the previous few times he had failed, almost exposing himself, so he had to be vigilant.

Not only do you have to be wary of the guards who may appear at any time, but also the children on your back.

He has lived in this place for many years, and he is familiar with every place here. He knows how to walk to avoid the guards, and he also knows how to bring people outside.

That place is his secret.

An An quietly lay on the boy's thin back. He had been warned in advance that he didn't make a sound along the way. Several times, they passed by the guards, and An An's heart jumped into his throat. passed.

After going around an unknown number of bends, an inconspicuous light appeared in front of it.

After being in a dark environment for a long time, when he suddenly saw the light, An An closed his eyes in discomfort.

The young man looked at Chi Chi's exit and pursed his lips. This time it was too smooth, but it gave him a bad premonition.

He hesitated on the spot for a while, but didn't go over immediately.

It was so quiet all around, as quiet as if there was no one there.

The boy freed up one hand, picked up a stone, and threw it forward.

The stone hit the ground, and in the empty and silent environment, the small sound was amplified infinitely. The boy shrank back, completely blocking himself and the child behind the barrier.

An An clenched his clothes tightly, and he didn't speak. Before the two set off, the boy told him that no matter what happened along the way, he must not make a sound.

Before the boy brought him out, An An saw the place where she was originally. It was a cage-like place, and not only she was locked in it, but other cages also contained children. Those children stayed quietly. Turn a blind eye to what's happening on their side.

An An didn't know what was going on with those children, and the young man didn't intend to explain. After a while, the young man had led him to avoid several patrolling people. An An opened his mouth and gave up asking.

After all, he is young, there is no one familiar around him, and he is in a completely unfamiliar place. If it were any child, he might be crying and making a lot of noise by now. It is very rare for An An to keep quiet and not cry.

There was no abnormality, the boy frowned, the exit was very close to them, this time it went so smoothly, it filled him with a sense of unreality.

Taking a step carefully, the boy looked around vigilantly.

One step, two steps...

closer.

Just when the two were about to succeed, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps. The boy made a decisive decision, turned around with the child on his back, and ran towards the intricate terrain.

There were footsteps coming from behind, the young man didn't care about other things, and ran fast with the child on his back.

"I know this kid is restless, and he will be arrested no matter what."

"Damn it, the boss almost made him run away last time. The boss is already very angry. This time, no matter what you say, you can't let him run away again."

"Whether this kid is slippery or not, be careful, don't let him escape."

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and there were constantly malicious voices coming. The boy himself was thin and weak, and he didn't have enough food and clothing all the year round. After running for so long with a child on his back, his physical strength had long been exhausted, and his speed was getting slower and slower.

He didn't stop, all supported by one breath.

An An felt the trembling of the body below her and the gasping sound of the young man who gradually increased. The people behind were chasing after him, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the two of them are caught up.

At another corner, the boy saw something, his pupils narrowed, and he stopped abruptly.

Turn around and run in the other direction.

It's a pity that the opponent has a lot of people, no matter which way he changes, he will be blocked.

A group of people surrounded them.

The leader was a tall and burly man, who looked at the boy with malicious eyes: "Run, why don't you run away?"

He hated this young man to the bone, because of this young man, he had suffered so much.He was in charge of guarding those children. The teenager had tried to rescue the children here several times before. Although he failed in the end, he was still punished for his lack of care.

This time someone puts a new source of goods here, and he knows that this is an opportunity. He has seen the new source of goods deposited here. They are richly dressed, raised in vain and fat, ignorant of world affairs, and they are the ones that young people like to rescue most. object.

So he purposely exposed the characteristics of a child, transferred people away, and gave the boy a chance to act.

The previous few chases allowed him to roughly figure out the boy's course of action, and he guarded the place where the boy would eventually appear, waiting on the sidelines.

Sure enough, the person was caught by him.

"Your boy is finally in my hands, let's see how I 'repay' you!"

After running for a long time, the boy's arms and legs were so sore, but he didn't put the child off his back, nor did he speak.

The man tilted his head, and the men he brought kept approaching the boy.

Surrounded in the very center, the boy has no escape route.

An An was lifted off the young man's back, and one of them kicked the young man out forcefully.

The boy bumped into an obstacle and fell hard, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"What are you doing?" An An thumped.

The person holding him didn't expect that a child would explode with such great strength, and he broke free without checking for a moment.

An An ran to the boy with short legs, and opened her arms to block him: "You are not allowed to hurt him!"

The young man regained his senses from a burst of severe pain, and saw a small figure standing in front of him, stretching out its immature wings, trying to protect him.

Never had such an experience before, the young man was stunned for a moment, unable to tell what it was like in his heart.

He supported himself to get up with difficulty, and protected the child behind his back: "What are you rushing at me, don't make things difficult for a child."

He himself is just a chest-high child who has just reached an adult, but he is trying to spread his wings to protect younger children from wind and rain and cut off danger.

"I don't have time to spend here with you, take it away!"

He couldn't wait to bring this person who disrupted the order of the underground world time and time again to atone for his sins.

An An took the boy's hand and walked deeper into it.

On the other side, when she heard that the secret passage was discovered, Princess Shuhui couldn't sit still and immediately walked out.

"I want to go and see for myself."

A mother who was worried about her child could not be persuaded, and a group of people came to the place where An An was finally found.

This is a place where ordinary people live, few high-ranking officials and dignitaries come here, and their arrival amazes the nearby people.

There was also a group of officers and soldiers who came with them. Dali Temple got the news, and the Minister of Dali Temple personally brought the officials over.

The house has been tidied up, and a secret passage that only allows one person to pass appears in front of everyone.

Jiang Ling tugged Xiao Shengyun's sleeve.

Xiao Shengyun lowered his head slightly.

Jiang Ling leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Your Highness, why is there a secret passage in the capital?"

There are some secret passages in the middle of the capital, which lead directly to the outside of the city, and the imperial palace also has them, but the distribution of these secret passages is only known to those in power, and this place obviously does not belong to one of them.

The officers and soldiers who went down to look for people came up quickly and brought a news that surprised everyone.

"You mean, the underpass does not lead directly to somewhere, but a large place, and there are many people living in it?"

Because I don't know, "Find two smarter people first, and go down to find out the situation."

This wait is an hour.

After the two came up, they told the news they found.

", being instructed to do all kinds of work, my subordinates found out that not long ago, a group of forces unknown to the imperial court appeared underground in the capital.

Xiao Shengyun sent several secret guards down, this time to find out more accurate information, and after the secret guards brought back the news, he immediately laid out a plan to clear up.

"I want to go down in person." Princess Shuhui said.

Princess Shuhui is excellent in martial arts, but she is also worried about her children, so she has to go down in person no matter what.

"Okay." Xiao Shengyun thought for a moment, and agreed.

underground.

An An and the boy were brought before the boss.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. If he didn't appear here, he would fit the image of a Confucian scholar in the eyes of the public.

There was a middle-aged couple standing next to the boss. The boy took a look and recognized that they were the ones carrying the child down.

"This is the goods you sent?" The boss's eyes fell on An An.

An An didn't like this look, and shrank behind the young man.

The boy turned his body sideways and blocked the person behind him.

"Yes, yes." Nuonuo, the husband of the middle-aged couple, nodded.

"The appearance is good, let's stay."

The woman tried to say something, but was pulled back by her husband, unwilling to shut up.

The man walked down and tried to take a good look at An An, when an anxious voice came from outside: "Boss, it's not good, officers and soldiers are calling!"
