The saying "the road is under your feet" is extremely novel, so novel that when everyone hears this saying, the first reaction is——

"impossible."

Yeluzhen frowned, and even stomped the ground hard to prove his "impossible".

The ground of the cage made a very dull "dong dong" sound. It didn't look like simple bricks and stones, nor did it look like a hollow passage, but more like a reinforced iron frame made of copper and iron, declaring its impossibility. breakthrough.

"Have you heard this voice, Mr. Jiang?" Ye Luzhen said, and then showed a bit of helplessness, "I can understand your desire to get out of trouble, but I'm afraid there is no way you want to find here..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Xizhu showing a more helpless expression.

"Young Master Yelu." It was rare for him to no longer be as personable as a modest gentleman, but he brought out a kind of unambiguousness that is unique to powerful officials when they are eloquent.

His strange and convincing appearance forced Yeluzhen, who was always indifferent and went his own way, to calm down and listen carefully.

"As I said below, Mr. Yelu is only in the middle of Lushan Mountain, but he doesn't know the true face of Lushan Mountain." He said, "I said that the passage is at the foot, but it doesn't mean that we want to go out from the foot."

Yelu was really taken aback.

Daoist Zixu looked at the rain of arrows outside which was much thicker than his whisk, his calf twisted, and he jumped anxiously: "Oh, my prime minister, what do you mean, give me an accurate answer... as long as it's not Mountains of knives and seas of fire, it’s okay for Xiao Laodao to dig a hole, but tell me, how do we get out?”

Jiang Xizhu smiled and said, "Go out through the main entrance."

Taoist Master Zixu glanced at the door tremblingly, and then glanced again, as if His Majesty the Emperor could deceive his master and destroy his ancestors at any time with an order from the prime minister, he said tremblingly: "...Are you joking with the little old Taoist?"

Jiang Xizhu showed a smile that wasn't a smile, and didn't appease Zixu's trembling little heart, as if he was just being polite.

"From the moment I came in, I was wondering why the king of Qi wanted to build a prison with such a high wall. Later, I got the answer. It is to make it difficult for the people detained here to escape." Jiang Xizhu said, " This is already in line with the purpose of the 'blood prison', but the appearance of the 'blood prison' will make it even more difficult for people to escape."

Daoist Zixu seemed...not as if, he just didn't understand: "...then we still can't get out?"

Jiang Xizhu's face was calm: "The mountain city with nine roads, the haunted yard, and even the golden house in front of you, they are all the same - only the things inside have changed quietly, but from the outside, nothing has changed. The mountain city is still a mountain city, the yard is still a yard, and the prison of Prince Qi’s Mansion still has a high wall on the outside...'Blood prison' can only be built according to the location, regardless of the ever-changing inside, the outside will not be any different from usual."

Yeluzhen seemed to finally understand what he meant, and slightly opened his eyes wide.

"I don't know how the 'choir' trapped Proud World Villa and the four major ministers. After all, I didn't experience the 'blood prison' at that time, only this one now. I probably know how he trapped us. Yes." Jiang Xizhu has a kind of detached calm at the moment, as if the cage and the prison are already keyed shackles, and he can break free at any time, it just depends on whether he wants to.

Daoist Zixu looked at the young man who was talking eloquently in front of him, and suddenly felt a little dazed—he always felt that the young prime minister was well maintained by Li Chengzuo, and he was in a high position when he was young, lacking courage and experience, and lacking in the city. I understand that some people can be born with courage and city power, but it is like a spring hidden deep in the ground, which needs an opportunity to be excavated and erupt.

And his apprentice, who seemed out of tune all day long, seemed to have prepared this opportunity for Jiang Xizhu a long time ago. Jiang Xizhu followed the opportunity that Li Chengzuo had prepared for him, and he could always walk safely to the place Li Chengzuo wanted.

Jiang Xizhu looked around without any fluctuations: "After discovering that there is a problem with this room, I have been thinking about what is different in this room from when I came in. Of course, the passage outside and the wall behind the closet are of course different, but it's useless to just find out, we still don't know why this room has changed... Then I remembered that people were different - different in every way. On the one hand Look, in the past, only Sanniang used to come and go here frequently, and only Sanniang was trapped alone. It is meaningless to say it bluntly, so the "blood prison" until today-when someone breaks through the barrier, they will not make a sound On the other hand, Jing Qing came with us, but left alone. There was one less person who broke through the barrier, and the one who left was probably not important, while the rest could no longer escape. The reality of the launch of 'Blood Prison'."

Jiang Xizhu peeled off the cocoon, as if he finally got rid of the most real inner part of the heavy fog, and finally came to the last curtain before the hidden truth behind the ten thousand veils.

"These differences are easy to discover and difficult to discover." Jiang Xizhu said, "We pay attention to the doors and windows, the furnishings, and even the cleanliness of the room... But we rarely notice the people around us in front of our eyelids. What will change underneath—for example, a child, when you see him ten years later, you will find that he has grown taller; another example, a middle-aged person, when you see him ten years later, you will find that he has grown older, and if this child or this middle-aged person If a person hasn’t left your side for ten years, then his growth or aging is still happening, but you don’t notice it—but you can’t say he hasn’t changed.”

Yeluzhen was silent.

Jiang Xizhu looked around for a week, and looked at everyone, only when he saw Li Chengzuo, there was something else in his eyes - it disappeared in a flash, but Li Chengzuo still understood.

Jiang Xizhu paused for a moment: "This is similar to the changes of 'young people grow taller' and 'middle-aged people grow older'. From our point of view, there are two of them."

His gaze suddenly became sharp, and no one would have imagined that such a powerless scholar would have such a fearless, determined and persistent gaze.

"Sanniang." Jiang Xizhu said, "We were led by you and took risks because of your entrustment. What you gave us in return is that you kept silent when you clearly found something wrong?"

Xu Sanniang's complexion suddenly changed, her eyes froze, her lips opened and closed in vain, but she couldn't speak.

With a decisive wave of Jiang Xizhu's hand, she stopped her unsure of whether it was true or false in her desperation, and went straight out of her unfinished words.

"As for the other change." He said slowly, as if deliberately dragging on for a long time, "We have been ignoring the most variable person in this room... He is the one who obviously grew taller under our eyes but didn't notice it. The young man born is also the middle-aged man who is obviously getting old but makes us feel that the years are the same. We are all too easy to ignore the weak and calm, but we always forget that strength is relative. It's really weak... Don't you think so, Mr. Ji?"

Jiang Xizhu's voice hadn't landed on the ground, and before everyone could react, a knife light flashed across the dazzling gold and bewilderment of the room, and suddenly cut through this unrealistic tranquility. The chill is concretized as a fierce spirit rushing towards the face, which makes people tremble with fear.

Yeluzhen touched his backhand subconsciously, and then realized that it was Li Chengzuo who made a bold move when he was not aware of it, and took away his long knife that had never left his body at an indistinguishable speed. Now, the blade pointed at In the place, it was Ji Weizhen who looked like she was running out of fuel.

He has the same appearance as before, the only difference is that he is awake!

He was forced to maintain a posture that was just about to get up but didn't have time, and he didn't dare to move, because the knife in Lee Seung-jo's hand formed a tricky triangle between his neck and the couch, he could only stay so stiff That said, as long as he dared to act recklessly, Li Chengzuo would not hesitate to decapitate him.

Xu Sanniang immediately wanted to step forward, but she didn't know what to think of. She took two steps back suddenly, and turned to face Jiang Xizhu, but subconsciously caught up with the chill all over her body - that was Li Chengzuo's eyes with crooked eyebrows but no smile.

Yeluzhen and Taoist Master Zixu reacted rather unpleasantly. When Xu Sanniang hesitated to advance and retreat, they had already protected Jiang Xizhu, who was not good at martial arts, from left to right. The three of them slowly moved to Li Chengzuo's side in this tense confrontation. .

Xu Sanniang looked at Ji Weizhen who was trapped under the knife, and then at Li Chengzuo who had no expression on his face. In the end, it seemed that she had compromised. She bit her lower lip tightly with her white teeth, and bit her lips that were already lacking in blood, so she was very reluctant. He took a few steps back and made a "talking" gesture.

"How did you find out?" Xu Sanniang's eyebrows were full of anxiety, "Young Master Jiang, believe it or not, I have no intention of hiding it, I'm just not sure..."

"When Jing Qing was leaving." Jiang Xizhu didn't wait for her to finish, but just looked at her indifferently, "I originally thought that you just didn't get used to the simplicity and straightforwardness of Jing Yuanshou, so I kindly explained it to you. But thinking about it later, it's a bit strange... You have a delicate heart, and your concern for Mr. Ji is not like a fake. You are also a phoenix with 72 demon gods. Your understanding of Jing Qing should not be less than ours, but You didn't understand what Jing Qing meant for a while, so I can only give one explanation - you were distracted."

"Mr. Ji's situation is not good, you should have all your energy on him, but you were actually distracted." Jiang Xizhu said in a deep voice, "I can only recreate the scene and imagine what makes you so worried. In the end, I came to a conclusion—there is no major issue other than death and life. If you either saw Mr. Ji died, or saw Mr. Ji wake up, but you didn’t tell him the news of him waking up, then I’m afraid it’s I saw him doing something else...'Blood Prison' was activated at that time, so that as soon as Jing Qing left, there was an irreversible change outside, and you were pretending to memorize the acupuncture points on his body at that time. Delaying time prevents us from noticing changes in time, and until we are aware of changes, it is too late to change."

Xu Sanniang was obviously caught by Jiang Xizhu's story. She didn't expect that the young prime minister, who was too weak to be feared, would be so thoughtful that her every move seemed to be silently monitored. What's more frightening was that, He couldn't even see through what he was thinking.

Her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and the killing intent that had been shot but failed suddenly surged out again, but when she touched Li Chengzuo's cold gaze, her whole body froze. It was this moment of mental breakdown that made her murderous intent instantly shattered.

"Forget it, Sanniang." It turned out to be Ji Weizhen who was on the bed with a disfigured face, his body had been soaked by cold food powder, and now he was haggard, showing an irretrievable fading appearance.

His voice was also not pleasant, with the hoarseness of a long-term sick person, making people feel lifeless for no reason.

He looked indifferent, because the blade was approaching, and the cold light made him stand still very hard, frowning with the last point of persistence: "I have heard the name of Mr. Jiang's intelligence for a long time, and seeing him now, it can be seen that the rumors are also true. The prime minister has a meticulous mind and hides it deeply, and Ji has been taught."

Jiang Xizhu looked as usual, and said calmly: "Don't dare."

Hearing Jiang Xizhu's obvious estrangement, Ji Weizhen gave a wry smile, turned his eyes back to Li Chengzuo's face, and pointedly said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years, and you really have lived up to the Queen Mother's expectations."

"No." Hearing this, Li Chengzuo changed the knife from one hand to the other very leisurely, and said with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were naturally smiling, "I ran out, and I just pissed off the queen mother to death, her old man I'm probably scolding me for being unfilial in the palace right now."
