I heard that you are a scum

The master and servant finally got together again.

Uncle Cen came back first, but he didn't know what to ask.Duan Yannian was so anxious that he was fidgeting, but now that he saw Chuntao standing in front of him properly, he put his heart back into his stomach.

Chuntao's clothes were damp, so she went to change into the clothes she had prepared for the female members of the Cen family, then sat next to Duan Yannian, hugged his arm, and began to act coquettishly: "My lord, you don't even know, it's cold in the well." It was scary, I lay on the edge of the well for a long time, and my arms were sore!"

Duan Yannian was very sad. He didn't intend to drag Chuntao and Xiao Qi into this matter, but who would have thought that these things happened in the middle, and the two of them were still affected.

He pinned a strand of hair that fell from Chuntao's temples to Chuntao's ears, and said, "I'm sorry for you."

"Where do you put your hands?" Xiao Qi saw this scene as soon as she entered the door with dinner in her hand. She immediately put the tray on the table and moved Chuntao's face to herself.

Duan Yanqing smiled: "I overstepped."

Chuntao was not happy to look at Xiao Qi's big face, so she slapped his hands off, and then turned to Duan Yannian, "My lord, have you been hunted down for so long, have you been hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Xiao Qi hooked her face with his hand and turned her back: "Why don't you ask me if I was injured?"

"You have rough skin and thick flesh, so what's the point of getting hurt?"

Duan Yannian faced Xiao Qi's resentful gaze, and said bravely: "Thanks to Brother Xiao Qi's protection, I was able to come back whole and whole. It was he who suffered a lot of injuries in order to save me."

Chuntao looked embarrassed and glanced at Xiao Qi.

Duan Yannian quickly stood up and said: "You two haven't seen each other for a long time, you must have something to say, you two talk first, I'll go out for a walk." After speaking, he opened the door and left.

It was almost dawn, and the dust in the yard hadn't been cleaned, so he didn't care.Sit directly on the steps.

It was gradually dawning, and the courtyard seemed to be covered with a layer of silver-gray veil.The sky above his head is azure blue, like a sea with calm waves, the sky in the distance is fading, and there are a few rays of morning glow in the distance, which makes the sky red.

It was only a few days since the emperor issued the imperial edict, and they all became important criminals in the blink of an eye.The officers and soldiers are still guarding the gate of the Duan Mansion, and they are afraid that they will not give up looking for them in the near future.Although this place can be temporarily avoided, it is still too close to the dangerous center.Who sent the killer who was desperately trying to kill Cen's family?

They seem to be placed in the air now, and the only point of support under their feet does not know when it will suddenly break off.Just like that, waiting for the end of the world.

"My lord!" Chuntao's surprised voice suddenly came from the room.

"What's the matter?" Duan Yannian ran over quickly, and when he opened the door, he saw Chun Tao standing by the bed dumbfounded holding a bottle of golden sore medicine, but Xiao Qi had disappeared.

"Where's Xiaoqi?" He asked.

Chuntao climbed onto the bed, poked at the head of the bed randomly, and said while poking, "Just now I wanted to give Xiao Qi medicine, so I asked him to lie on the bed first, but he didn't know where he touched, and the bed opened suddenly. After making a hole, Xiao Qi fell straight down."

Hearing this, Duan Yannian also climbed to the end of the bed, and started to grope around.

I don't know where Chuntao touched, the bed board suddenly stood upright, and there was a dark hole under the bed!The two screamed shortly and fell straight down.

And Xiao Qi, who had been waiting below for a long time, directly reached out to catch Chuntao, and Duan Yannian directly smashed to the ground.

"Hiss..." He took a deep breath in pain, but fortunately, he was not too high from the ground, and there was no other major problem except the pain from the fall.

It was pitch black here, Chun Tao jumped out of Xiaoqi's arms with a blushing face, squatted down and groped to find Duan Yannian's position, and helped him stand up.

At the same time, Xiao Qi also took out a fire pocket and ignited it. The faint light allowed them to see the surrounding environment clearly.

Undoubtedly, this is a secret road leading to nowhere.

Xiaoqi lit the wall lamp on the bluestone wall with a fire pocket, then blew out the fire pocket and put it back in his arms, holding up the candlestick to look around.

Not far in front of them, the steps paved with bluestone meander towards an unknown direction.

Duan Yannian rubbed his aching waist, he couldn't help but feel a little rejoicing—fortunately, if he fell, it would be flat ground, and if the place where he fell was the stairs, it would not be as simple as a pain for him now.

"I tried it just now. Unless someone outside touches the mechanism inside the headboard, the bed above will not move at all." Xiao Qi said, "Let's put it this way, judging from this height, even if someone from the outside Move the bed away, and we won't be able to get in."

The only thing that can be done now is——the three of them moved their eyes to the stairs——it is to go down from here...

The bluestone steps are very long and can accommodate two people walking side by side, three people standing in a row, two men guarding Chuntao in the middle, Xiao Qi is in charge of opening the way, and Duan Yannian is in charge of the rear.

——Actually, Chuntao thought that Duan Yannian should stand in the middle, but Duan Yannian refused.

The slope of the stairs was relatively gentle, and the three of them walked down the stairs carefully. Xiaoqi used the candlestick in his hand to light the wall lamps on the stairs all the way.

After walking for a while, a small square hall appeared in front of my eyes.

"Be careful there are traps." Xiao Qi instructed.

As soon as Duan Yannian and Chuntao heard that there was a mechanism, they stopped immediately, for fear that they would touch the mechanism clumsily and cause trouble to Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi walked to the center of the square hall step by step, the whole square hall was illuminated by the candle in his hand, the shadows of several people were all reflected on the wall, they could clearly see that there were three lines on the three walls. aisle.

"Without an agency, where are we going?" Xiao Qi asked.

Duan Yannian and Chuntao hurried to his side, the three looked at the three roads and felt worried.

"How about we split up?" Duan Yannian suggested.

"No!" Chuntao and Xiaoqi refused in unison.

Chuntao said: "I don't know if there is any danger here. My son, you know what level you are. If we are separated, can you protect yourself?"

Xiao Qi suggested: "Let's start from the left and walk one by one, we can always find the exit."

All three of them walked to the left.The road on the left leads straight into the distance. After walking for half a day, the gentle road began to slope upwards.Duan Yannian was overjoyed, I'm afraid he can go out directly this way!

Sure enough, it didn't take long to reach the end. There was a ladder standing on the wall in front of it. There should be a wooden plank above the ladder.

Xiaoqi handed him the candlestick, and climbed up the ladder three times and five times. He pushed the wooden board hard, but he didn't push it away.

Then he jumped down again, took back the candlestick, shook his head at the two of them, and said as if thinking of something: "I don't know where the exit here is. I just went up, and I seem to smell something that I can't tell." smell……"

The three had to go back the same way, this time they chose the middle.

There is also a flat road in the middle.After walking for a while, I turned to the left, and I saw a stone gate when I walked forward.

As usual, Xiao Qi handed the candlestick to Duan Yannian, and then pushed hard on the stone door, but did not push it.

"Let's push and push together." Duan Yannian put the candlestick aside and signaled Chuntao to come together.

The three of them pushed the stone door to the left with all their strength, and the stone door finally moved slowly, and a secret room appeared in front of their eyes.

The goal of entering is a room made entirely of stones. The items in the room are all available - there are stone beds, stone tables, stone chairs, and even stone bowls ground out of stones.

Xiao Qi exclaimed: "Master Duan, where did you buy this house, and why are there so many ways underground?"

Duan Yannian didn't know why he bought a house and gave him a secret passage, and replied: "I went to Weinan for business and passed by here on the way back. At that time, this family wanted to sell the house for some medicine because the elders in the family were seriously ill. Money, I saw that they were really in trouble, so I ordered the boy to buy the house..."

"Does this family have a lot of enemies, that's why they built such a secret passage underground?" Chuntao couldn't help but said.

"Not impossible."

Go back the same way again, this time only the right passage is left.

The passage on the right is also a relatively gentle uphill slope. After walking for a long time, they saw the same scene as the one on the left.

No, it's different this time - the wooden board on the right was pushed away by Xiao Qi at once.

With a sound of "crash", the moment the wooden board was pushed away, a lot of sand and stone fell down along the gap when the wooden board was opened, and fell all over Xiao Qi's body.

A ray of sunlight came in from the outside, and after walking for a while, the sky was completely bright.

Xiaoqi crawled out first, then poked his head inside and shouted: "You guys come up too! There is a forest outside!"

So Duan Yannian and Chun Tao also climbed up.

The area of ​​the woods is not large, and you can see the end at a glance. Someone should have planted it here.Behind the forest is the famous Ancient Sword Mountain in Chang'an City!

The solitary peak of Gujian Mountain looks like an ancient sword piercing the sky, so it was named Gujian Mountain.This mountain is located in the south of the capital, and the yard they bought is in the west of the capital. After doing this calculation, this secret road actually spans half of the capital!

The three of them looked at each other and slipped back avoiding pedestrians all the way.

The Cen family woke up early and were waiting for them to come back to make breakfast.

After all, they were spoiled and spoiled since childhood, so how could they know how to cook.

Although Duan Yannian doesn't care about the saying that the gentleman stays away from the cook, it is a pity that he is also in the pampered team and cannot cook.

I can only trouble Chuntao.

Chuntao hadn't eaten for a day since Duanfu's house was ransacked, and she was already very hungry, so she didn't care whether she hated it or not at this time.

Cen Qing's wound has been treated, but the excessive blood loss and falling into the water still caused her to develop a fever in the middle of the night. Mrs. Cen took care of her all night, she was sleepy and hungry, and she didn't complain when she saw these simple meals, she just moved quickly Chopsticks.

The old matriarch also suffered a lot before marrying Old General Cen, so she is not used to it.

Uncle Cen doesn't care about what to eat.

None of the three elders of the Cen family said anything, and the somewhat dissatisfied juniors did not dare to say anything.

After a thrilling day, several people finally had a peaceful meal.
