As night fell, the two put on light black clothes in advance, and stepped out of the room lightly.

Lu Xiao led the way with an oil lamp in his hand, Qi Jiansi's tall and straight figure was behind him, borrowing the light of his black clothes to hide in the dark night.There was silence everywhere, and neither of them opened their mouths in a tacit understanding.Soon, Lu Xiao bowed down like a few hours ago, covered the brick with her palm, tried to turn it first, and then lifted it firmly.

The flat bricks and stones on the side suddenly turned upwards, and the faint light of the oil lamp fell to the ground, and several stone steps spread towards the dark place.

Suddenly a gust of wind hit the two of them, and the visitor didn't deliberately hide the sound of footsteps. Qi Jiansi suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, "Who?"

The man chuckled and did not reply, the light of Huo Zhezi suddenly lit up, showing his face without fear for the two of them to see.

"Du Zixiu!"

Lu Xiao saw him clearly, and her anger surged up. All the anger that had no place to rest these days had a place to go, and thousands of words were gathered in a shout of anger.

In the firelight, Du Zixiu raised his index finger and shook it. He half-seriously and half-jokingly said, "You're wrong."

Lu Xiao couldn't figure out why he still denied it at this time. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Qi Jiansi gently pulled his cuff, protected him behind him, and said to Du Zixiu, "What's wrong with him? Master Du , why don't you tell us to listen."

The face is still the same plain face, but the demeanor of the whole person seems to have changed.Lu Xiao suppressed his anger slightly, this person was by no means stupid enough to throw himself into a trap.But his skills are mediocre, and Qi Jiansi's wounds have just healed. The two of them did not expect to catch big fish in their trip today, and Du Zixiu must be prepared for coming here at this moment.

Before the voice came, a sharp wind of palms hit the two of them. Du Zixiu said sadly, "Lord Qi, you will soon know where your mistake is!"

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiao instinctively pushed forward, but Du Zixiu stopped his hand suddenly, but it was too late, he slapped Lu Xiao's ribs with a palm, and the sound of bone cracking followed, Lu Xiao was shocked by the remaining force of his palm He stepped back, rolled straight into the stone steps, and fell into the darkness without a sound.

Qi Jiansi clenched his five fingers tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were showing, he had no intention of fighting Du Zixiu, his expression was as cold as if Hell were fighting in the ring at the same time, and he immediately called out: "Meng Ye!"

Du Zixiu's expression was unpredictable, it seemed that Lu Xiao's sudden rushing action interrupted his plan, and Qi Jiansi caught the gap.He raised another palm and slashed straight at Qi Jiansi's neck!

Qi Jiansi turned sideways suddenly, gritted his teeth and kicked Du Zixiu's lower body, fighting for a moment to dodge, and fell to the ground without hesitation.His newly healed waist injury cracked untimely, bleeding through his clothes, blending with the dust on the stone steps, turning into sticky blood.

There are not many stone steps, but they are slightly steep. Qi Jiansi fell to the flat ground after rolling for a few breaths.When looking from top to bottom, except for a stretch of stone steps going down, he could only see darkness. Let's call this place a dungeon, but when he was in the dungeon, there was a ray of light that came from nowhere.

But at the moment it was not even dim.

There was a bang on the top, and Qi Jiansi suddenly looked up. The place where he fell had been sealed tightly, and there was no light in sight.

The surroundings are full of stone walls, empty, and every word can be echoed.Qi Jiansi didn't care about the blood on his body, and kept groping around for directions.The buzzing in his head gradually subsided, Qi Jiansi's eyes fell on his feet, and Lu Xiao's distressed body was close in front of him.

Thousands of thoughts whizzed through Qi Jiansi's mind, but his movements were faster than the thoughts, and he leaned over and knelt down to hug him in an instant.

pain.

This was Lu Xiao's first reaction. Except for a serious illness more than ten years ago, he was alive and kicking most of the time.As he grew older, his childhood injuries had long been forgotten by him. In order to strengthen his body, he also learned a few three-legged cat kung fu, unlike other scholars who cannot carry their shoulders or hands.

The ribs were broken, and the lungs were shaken. No matter how strong a man is, he dare not say that he can grit his teeth and endure it.

The moment he fell from the ground to the bottom of the prison, he lost all strength, and he didn't even have the strength to howl a few times.After that, it hit the ground and doubled up several times. Before the piercing pain, it was nothing at all.

Lu Xiao lost consciousness in a daze.

"Lu Xiao...are you awake?"

The tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly, and a soft voice called his name with no discernible emotion. Lu Xiao tried to open his eyes, and the pain that came with it wandered wantonly up and down his body.There were rustling sounds from behind, as if someone had put soft clothes behind him to make him feel better.

Even when she opened her eyes, she couldn't see the surroundings clearly. Lu Xiao felt sad in a trance, and asked in a daze, "Am I dead or blind?"

The person who hugged him behind him froze, sighed: "Neither of them."

Such a familiar voice.

His body became conscious, screaming from all directions that it hurts, but his mind was still a mess, and he didn't know who he was.

Lu Xiaozhi raised her right arm that didn't hurt so much from the fall, and wanted to turn around to see who this person was, but was slightly reprimanded by this person. Lu Xiao retracted her hand resentfully, and she didn't know what she was muttering. something.

He was half lying on the ground in a daze, always complaining that the weather was too hot during the day, and now he was shivering from the cold.

Without saying a word, the person behind pulled out the padded robe and covered his trembling abdomen and legs.Lu Xiao thought she was a person who knew how to repay her kindness, and said gratefully: "I don't know the name of the strong man, so that I can find you to repay my kindness after I escape."

"...a strong man?" Qi Jiansi's face froze frighteningly. The next moment he thought of something, he said in panic, "Lu Xiao, do you still remember your name is Lu Xiao?"

Lu Xiao said inexplicably: "Of course I know that I am Lu Xiao."

Qi Jiansi's heart turned cold: "Don't you remember who I am?"

Lu Xiao frowned, something was about to come out of her chaotic mind, entangled in pain, and in an instant all the paste in her mind turned into the picture before she fell.

"Zhiyu? Why did you also fall into this ghost place?"

Thankfully, Qi Jiansi didn't care about the "strong man" with him in this situation, and then asked nervously, "Do you remember where this is, and why did you fall here?"

Lu Xiao's temples were swollen, and he raised his hand to rub it. Qi Jiansi pressed down his eager hand, and rubbed his head with his slender fingers.He was already awake, and answered Qi Jiansi's questions one by one: "Yunzhou government office, we came to find the agency, but Du Zixiu plotted against us."

Qi Jiansi felt relieved a little, and replied, "It's just like you."

There was silence in the dungeon, Lu Xiao sensed the stiffness of the atmosphere, and finally comforted him: "I'm fine, but I was a little unconscious just now, and it's much better now."

"Nothing? I watched you fall to the ground with my own eyes, and you still tell me that there's nothing wrong?" Qi Jiansi was really blown up.

Lu Xiao's face was slightly startled, and she smiled slightly: "The left and right are pushed to this ghost place, you are fine, why am I?"

Both of them knew that Du Zixiu's slap was aimed at Qi Jiansi, Qi Jiansi's heart was blocked, and he couldn't say that, you received one more slap than me.

He froze just like that, Lu Xiao found his palm in the dark, gently shook it, and used his signature coaxing tone: "Look, you hit me with a sword, and I will take it for you A slap, you and I can be regarded as a life-threatening friendship, isn't it."

Qi Jiansi hummed uncomfortably.

Lu Xiao slumped on him limply, motionless like an old monk in meditation, but his posture was not so particular.It was pitch black everywhere, and he sighed: "I can't see my fingers, and I don't know how long I have to wait here. If I don't want to scare the snake, I should bring a group of guards to guard it. That's it, the snake is gone." Out of the hole, we are trapped in the snake's den."

Qi Jiansi said unhurriedly: "Meng Ye should have brought his guards here."

Lu Xiao's eyes lit up, and she sat up suddenly. She just lost her body, and her stomach and back hurt from being dragged, and she knocked her head on Qi Jiansi's chest.At this time, he was half kneeling, but his upper body didn't reach the sore spot, so he just fell on Qi Jiansi in this posture.

Qi Jiansi, who was originally behind him, trembled inaudibly.Lu Xiao didn't notice it, but rested her chin on his neck in a comfortable posture like a small animal.

Fortunately, it was pitch black, and only the facial features could be seen when he got close. Everyone's complexion was dark, leaving Qi Jiansi a bit thin-faced.

He stretched out his hand to hold Lu Xiao in place, and asked softly, "This doesn't hurt, does it?"

"It's much better," Lu Xiao shook her head slightly. "I'll be fine after a short rest. It's not my leg that hurts. Let's go further and see what's in the dungeon he built so hard."

After a while, Lu Xiao gritted her teeth and got up, and Qi Jiansi immediately supported him by the waist, and walked forward with his arms.

The stone wall is rugged, Qi Jiansi is on the left, and Lu Xiao is on the right, holding the stone wall with one hand, walking forward with difficulty.The route is smooth and stable, as long as you follow the side, there is always a way forward, and the two of them tacitly said nothing.He didn't know where he was, but Lu Xiao kicked something when he took a step, which made him take a step back in shock.

He was the first to bend down | body, and what he reached out to touch was a corner of his clothes.

Qi Jiansi asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?"

Immediately followed to explore, it was actually a person!

Lu Xiao beside him had already followed the robe to this man's face, and seeing this, Lu Xiao was stunned.His voice trembled slightly, he tried to maintain his calmness, stood up and said, "It's...Du Zixiu."

Qi Jiansi was startled, followed his gaze and saw the person lying on the ground with an ordinary face, it was Du Zixiu who pushed the two of them to the ground.

Both of them had mixed feelings in their hearts, Lu Xiao let out a long breath and said, "He's still angry, but he didn't wake up when I kicked him."

The one at the foot shares the same face as the one outside, and I've never heard of Du Zixiu having a younger brother, so one of them must be a fake.Which is true and which is false, is now more obvious.

The one who was lying down couldn't wake up for a while, but whether he woke up or not, the same face stuck in Lu Xiao's heart like a thorn.

Qi Jiansi said suddenly: "Shock the grass to startle the snake, maybe it's a big python."

Lu Xiao wiped away her doubts for the time being, and continued to walk forward.Qi Jiansi couldn't see the expression on his face, but only heard a laugh: "It doesn't matter what he is, whether it's a small snake or a big python, if you catch it seven inches, you'll beat it."

The dungeon seemed to be square, and the two turned around and walked along the stone wall, as if they had returned to the starting point.

Lu Xiao endured the pain and walked for a long time. When she returned to the original point, she suddenly lost her strength and staggered and almost fell.Qi Jiansi quickly pulled him into his arms, Lu Xiao leaned on his shoulder panting, and said after a while, "Impossible... Since he has the guts to build such a dungeon under the court, it is impossible to only detain one person."

Lu Xiao didn't know who "he" was, and she couldn't confirm whether the Du Zixiu in it was imprisoned before he went to Yunzhou, or whether he secretly stole the dragon and turned into a phoenix at some unknown point.

With all kinds of thoughts entangled in her heart, Lu Xiao subconsciously embraced the person in front of her with her powerless arms.

There are no unreasonable calculations in the world, only fools kept in the dark.Ledgers, Yanyin, warehouses, letters, and dungeons, starting from the weirdness of the ledgers, led Lu Xiao into this dungeon step by step.Is Qi Jiansi a variable, or is it also in the plan of the person who set up the situation?

Lu Xiao walked away from his shoulder, stared at him in the dark, and said in a daze, "Zhiyu, I always feel..."

Before the words were finished, the rocks on the top fell down with a bang, and strands of firelight penetrated into it.Before he could finish his sentence, he was knocked down by the violently shaking foundation, and was buried in the rubble together with Qi Jiansi.

There was a faint cold snort from outside, and it was the fake Du Zixiu who was complacent: "I'm so stupid! I said a long time ago that if the ground is forcibly shaken, everyone underneath will die!"

Lu Xiao's front ribs had just been broken, and she guessed that her back was not much better, and was pierced into the flesh by a lot of sharp gravel.

When the two of them fell down, they maintained the posture they were standing a few breaths ago, and Qi Jiansi pressed firmly on Lu Xiao's half body, blocking countless earth and rocks for him.Cold sweat flowed down his face, flowing down the outline to Lu Xiao's chin, and then burrowed into the collar of his neck.

"Don't talk nonsense! Young Master! Young Master! Young Master Lu! Can you hear me!"

Meng Ye yelled hoarsely, but it was a pity that his young master and Mr. Lu were buried under the rubble, so there was no way he could give him any response.

"Zhiyu," Lu Xiao murmured while staring at him, "This time I really hurt you."

A smile appeared in Qi Jiansi's beautiful eyes: "It's absolutely true to say that you are friends between life and death."
