System [I am in a horror dungeon]
Chapter 160: So that's how it is, I escaped a disaster
Lu Nanyin, who was just about to open the door, was stunned when she heard this and her mind went blank.
Chu Lingxian frowned and comforted her: "Lu Nanyin, this is a frame-up by those people, be careful."
"Yes, I understand. I will prove my innocence."
Lu Nanyin took a few deep breaths and opened the door. "Whoever said that there was something wrong with my medicinal materials, please bring the dregs with you. I will prove that it was not my fault and has nothing to do with us."
Those people kept shouting, and Su Liyue was almost unable to stop them.
They were so overwhelmed that they no longer believed what Lu Nanyin said.
Lu Nanyin spoke for a long time with all her heart, but they remained unmoved and even accused her of quibbling. When they wanted to escape, they surrounded the inn and demanded their lives.
Several people sat together, thinking about how to get out of trouble.
"I'm sorry, if I had known I wouldn't..."
"It's not your fault. It's just that they were too cunning and framed those children for their lives."
"Now let's think about how to get out?"
Chu Lingxian looked in the direction of Changxi Mountain. Lu Nanyin asked curiously, "What are you doing on the mountain? We can't get out, let alone go up the mountain again."
"Changxi Mountain used to be the territory of the Baifeng clan. It would be great if we could contact her."
"Her? Don't you have anything to say about Bai Yi?"
"Who is Bai Yi?"
"Bai Yi is the saint of the Bai Feng clan and also the ruler of the Bai Feng clan. If we can contact her, we can get out."
Lu Nanyin took out some paper and cast a spell, "These are the message papers left by the master. Write the message on the paper and think about who you want to send it to when you fold it. Then release it and she will receive it. Even if she is stopped on the way, it will spontaneously combust the moment it is touched."
"Try writing two pages first, and then write more in the afternoon. Don't finish them all at once."
"Okay." Su Liyue finished writing the letter and put it away. Looking at the people downstairs, she always felt a sense of incongruity.
"Chu Lingxian, do you think those people are weird? They fed the inn once before, and they seemed a little different from now."
Chu Lingxian opened the window a little and looked at those people. Each of them was holding a knife in his hand. Although they looked like old people, their postures were straight and their steps were steady. They didn't look like those old people at all.
"They should be the Fourth Prince's men." He glanced at Lu Nanyin, "He must have known what happened between the two of us in Shandong, so he came to arrest us."
"Shandong, why are you in the cave? What does the cave have to do with them?"
Lu Nanyin remembered that when she was talking about these things with Su Liyue before, Xia Xiaoxiao fainted, so she didn't know much about them, so she told her again.
"I see. So they came for the treasure you found in the cave."
Chu Lingxian nodded. "That's probably the case. If it were just ordinary townspeople, we wouldn't be trapped here so easily. Now my main goal is to leave here."
Lu Nanyin didn't say anything. She was wondering whether what those people said before was true or not. If it was just an excuse to tie them up, then it meant that the children were fine. But if it was true, then...
The few of them sat like this for a long time. They had no appetite at noon, so they ate a little. When Lu Nanyin was making medicine for them, they heard a few cuckoo sounds outside the yard, but they were not real birds, but human voices imitating them.
Carefully approaching the wall, "Who is it?"
A stone wrapped in several pieces of paper was thrown in from outside, and the people outside the wall ran away instantly.
Lu Nanyin showed them a piece of paper, which read:
My name is Cao Hui, and I’m the eldest son of the family you went to ask for directions before. I heard that you were trapped here, so I’d like to tell you something, which I hope will be of use to you.
The people guarding outside are all the Fourth Prince's men. They said that you took their things and they must make you hand them over.
The children are fine, we have already secretly gone to a safe place. If you have any big moves, don't worry about our safety, just do it.
If you need our help, just let me know and we'll definitely help.
This inn used to be my home, so there is a secret passage in the backyard, which was dug to avoid those people. If necessary, we can meet you at the exit of the secret passage and you can leave safely.
There was a blueprint of the secret passage drawn on another piece of paper, and the few people were a little puzzled for a moment.
"Are we leaving?"
"We can leave, but if we leave, what will happen to the townspeople? They say they have moved away, but those people on the mountain are still under their control."
"That's true. If we leave and those people activate the mechanism on their feet, won't they be useless?"
"Lu Nanyin, according to the speed of the paper crane, when can it reach Bai Yi?"
"We have to wait until 2:45 PM, at least this time."
“That may not be enough time.”
"Write two more pieces of paper. If that doesn't work, we'll take the secret path. Up the mountain!"
Two paper cranes flew out, and several people waited anxiously, but by the end of the hour of Wei, there was still no news.
"Let's go to the secret passage."
Su Liyue grabbed Chu Lingxian and said, "What if this is their plan? If we take the secret passage and it is blocked at both ends, we will be dead."
"We can only take a gamble. If we force our way out through the gate, our current strength will mean both sides will suffer losses."
"Okay, let's go."
Several people lit a tinder and went to the cellar in the backyard. They fumbled on the wall for a while, pressed one of the stones, and the stone door next to it opened.
A few people walked in slowly, smelling the smell of earth.
After observing the situation ahead and behind, they soon came to a fork in the road. Several people chose the road up the mountain and chose to go to the cave entrance on the cliff to create some noise to distract them.
As they walked forward, the Fourth Prince brought a group of people to another exit to block them, but he didn't know that they were taking another route.
When she reached the exit, Su Liyue looked outside and didn't sense any other people's presence. There was no one around.
Several people came out quickly and walked towards the mountain.
The Fourth Prince was still feeling smug. He thought that as long as he could catch them, all the treasures would be his. He was happy just thinking about it.
The people around him were also flattering him, and his smile became bigger and bigger.
Cao Hui and Cao Guang, who were trapped nearby, prayed in their hearts that they would not take this path. They did not notice that there was a pharmacist beside the Fourth Prince who could hypnotize people. Both of them revealed their whereabouts under hypnosis.
The four men came to the foot of the cliff and saw that there were only seven or eight people guarding the cave entrance. They threw a smoke screen and knocked them all down. They tied them up with ropes, gave the others antidote, and began to figure out how to unlock the shackles on their feet.
