The change was sudden, and even the expressionless women were at a loss.
Without knowing what happened, a few women suddenly came in and chased out the women who were lining up to go in. "Quick, quickly retreat!" The one inside brought her out as well! "
He was talking about Xie Jingxi, and the person who taught her how to light a fire at the side had immediately led her outside without saying a word, causing Lady Li to appear in the courtyard once again. He suddenly swept a glance at Xie Jingxi, and what made Xie Jingxi realize was that Lady Li was not the same as these expressionless people.
"Be more nimble, take away all that you can. I will deal with those that can't be taken away!" Lady Li shouted to the small courtyard.
He even assigned those that he could and couldn't take away? Xie Jingxi looked at them, a little at a loss. She subconsciously felt that she belonged in the part that could not be taken away.
Could it be that those who could not be taken away were not their people? It was as if her identity had not been verified, which meant that the people who weren't considered to be them, who couldn't be taken away could only be abandoned or simply silenced.
However, what was the reason for their sudden transfer and withdrawal? Could it be …
"Go over there!" Xie Jingxi was pushed towards the Lady Li, "And the other two!"
Xie Jingxi was pushed until she staggered and almost fell to the ground. Lady Li took the opportunity to pull her up and whispered into her ear, "Follow me, don't run around."
Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat. Was Lady Li going to help her?
There were still three or four that were carried out like Xie Jingxi, but they had expressions of panic on their faces. This was probably because of an instinctive sense of ominous feeling, which made Xie Jingxi even more certain that those that couldn't be carried away would definitely be silenced. It was probably because they were about to be exterminated, so they did not blindfold them when they left. They only used a string together to be carried out by the Lady Li.
After leaving the small courtyard, they had passed through a long secret passage. No, more accurately speaking, it was more like a man-made cave, and at the exit ahead, there was still faint light, accompanied by protruding rocks in the surroundings and the sound of dripping water. Although Xie Jingxi had not walked through the cave, she knew that the secret passage would not be like this.
Are there any other mountains in the Quadruple Town? This place was flat, so where did this cave come from?
After leaving the secret cave, there was another four-sided courtyard. It was unknown if it was the same one that she had gone to before, but according to the distance, there were more people gathered here waiting to be silenced like her. Lady Li pulled them along with the rest of the people in the courtyard and brought them away from this place once again.
After passing through another secret cave, Xie Jingxi heard a burst of rumbling sounds, as if a huge stone door had been closed. The echoes around became even louder, as if there was a secret room underneath, this secret room was very big, like a maze spinning around. One after another, dead bodies were thrown to the side, and then, she smelt the smell of burning oil.
This is burning corpses.
Xie Jingxi was panicking a little in her heart. This kind of sealed secret chamber, as long as the fire burned, even if she didn't die, she would at least die from suffocation.
Lady Li continued to bring them through the maze, and after walking for a while more, she pulled the rope in her hand, and the rest of the rope she was tied to Xie Jingxi fell onto the ground at the corner of the wall. Lady Li had directly slashed a vital point, and the few of them swallowed their breaths.
Xie Jingxi wanted to say something several times but the Lady Li suddenly said, "Don't ask anything, the less you know, the better."
Xie Jingxi kept her mouth shut. Lady Li brought her all the way to the entrance of the secret room, and after seeing that there was no one around, she directly opened the secret room's mechanism. She then pushed her out of the room, "If you don't want to die too quickly, find a place to play dead.
"You … Why did you save me? " The moment the secret room door was about to close, Xie Jingxi still asked.
Lady Li's body froze, his face was buried in the darkness of the secret passage, "There's no reason, you shouldn't belong here. I advise you, if you want to live, treat it as never coming here."
The moment the sound of the secret room door closed, the surroundings became completely devoid of light. This place did not manage to completely walk out of the ground, Xie Jingxi did not know why Lady Li threw her here, she would still be trapped inside if she did not leave. Furthermore, as the fire from inside continued to spread, a large amount of smoke unavoidably surged out from the gaps in the door, it was not cold anymore, but Xie Jingxi felt around in the dark, trying to feel around the areas where the smoke was shallow.
She thought that this place was probably the last point that led outside, the people that left would not return for now, and the people outside would not be able to come in temporarily, so relatively speaking, this place was temporarily safe. To be able to make them leave in such a panicked manner, something big must have happened outside, maybe there were already shouts and cries of war coming from outside, who could it be Gu Yun?
Halfway through, he met a few people who came out with Zhao Zhang. After knowing that Zhao Zhang had been captured, he no longer thought about it, and directly led a few experts into the house. Fortunately, the people in the Quadruple Town were a bit slower in reacting, otherwise, it would not have been so easy.
Gu Yun went in and caught a random person, "Bring me to see your big brother, if you dare try anything, I'll send you on your way."
Gu Yun was still considered lucky, he had originally thought that after entering, he would be besieged by many people, just like the group of trained people in the East Fencing Village. But in reality, there were not many adults with people in their hands, other than the henchmen he had raised who bullied and bullied the townships, the most useful parts were not under his control, and some of them even went out to chase people. The rest of them were fighting with the people from the Right Shore Merchant Union at the city gate, causing the rest to be filled with those fellows that were not too useful at critical moments.
The person that Gu Yun had grabbed was one of the elder's trusted aides, the cold faced Yama King that had the aura of a king scared off many people, and those who came with him were all protecting him, those who had the guts to come forward were all hacked, and just like that, they slaughtered their way into the courtyard.
He had to say that the Minister of Internal Affairs had hidden himself quite well, and had perhaps heard the commotion. He was preparing to pack up his bag and flee, and it was very obvious that his so-called backer had not prepared to save him at the critical moment. The man had fled in an orderly manner, and did not intend to play with him.
Gu Yun saw the rodent-like figure in the crowd, in order to protect his life, he pointed at him and said: "There … That's us, you have to spare our lives, you guys have to spare our lives! "
Gu Yun casually pulled out a blade, raised his breath, and threw it into the crowd of people on top of the long leg, long enough to let out a scream, scaring the people around him to the point where they automatically moved to the sides to dodge, just now no one could see how the blade flew over, only that slow thinking about how it flew, their legs went soft, the blade tip flying towards them seemed to bring about a burst of Evil Wind, who would feel like they were courting death, throwing another at him, who would be able to take it?
Therefore, Sir Li, you should pray for your own blessings.
Ahhh! Murderous! Don't come near me! I'm warning you! There's someone up there! If you dare kill me, you won't have a good ending …
The grown man held onto a leg and howled on the ground, he watched as a man with a face full of frost walked towards him, Gu Yun stepped on the back of the blade, the blade tip directly digging into the ground, nailing the leg in, the blade edge piercing the leg, after that, it directly became a hole, the pain was so excruciating that he almost lost his breath.
"You, you …"
Without waiting for him to make a move, Gu Yun grabbed his neck and forcefully pulled him up. The blade went along his long leg and almost cut his leg into three, "Speak, where are the people you captured?"
He only wanted to wipe his neck and finish it, but Gu Yun did not want him to die, so he could only point at the person beside him with a trembling hand, "Hurry up and bring him over!"
His lackeys scrambled and crawled their way out. It was unknown if it was because they wanted to escape by themselves or to bring their men over, but Gu Yun's men had already followed two of them and not long after, brought Zhao Zhang and Doctor Chang over.
"Master!" Madame was taken away by them. " Zhao Zhang was not injured. When he saw Gu Yun, he immediately told him about Xie Jingxi's situation.
Gu Yun pinched his long neck tighter, "Do you want to live or not, where's your so-called backer?!"
"I, I really don't know where they are bringing people to. I'm not their person, even if they have secrets they wouldn't tell me."
"Say it again and you don't know?"
"I …" She probably gave up because of the pain and gritted her teeth.
"I think I know where the secret place is." Doctor Chang suddenly spoke up, "But we can't be sure. We still need to keep any survivors."
Gu Yun suddenly looked towards the Doctor Chang, and Zhao Zhang explained: "This is the Doctor Chang, he has helped us a lot."
Gu Yun nodded, "Zhao Zhang, you stay behind.
Doctor Chang could tell that Gu Yun's identity was not ordinary, and spoke with a hint of nervousness, "Sigh, don't be anxious, I'll look around."
Xi's wife's husband was such a ruthless person. Who would have thought that even she would have such a day?
I have to explain to you, before I came here to see a patient, that person is quite mysterious, I was brought here blindfolded, I can be sure that it is in a secret room, the entrance has to pass through the back garden, but I can't determine the exact location, I guess this entrance was not exposed, so I don't think we can find it immediately.
At this time, the sky had already darkened completely, making it harder to find the entrance. Gu Yun stood in the courtyard that was not small and looked around, then asked: "Please think carefully, when you were blindfolded, did you sense the light source."
Doctor Chang opened his eyes immediately after he was reminded. He closed his eyes and recalled the scene from before carefully and slapped his thigh, "I remember!"
