What a blind cat meets a dead mouse.Could this inconspicuous earth hole be the shortcut for those assassins to enter and exit the paddock?

Lu You and Tang Ruilang looked at each other, secretly delighted.

There is only one assassin in front of him, if he can be captured alive and brought back for interrogation, the assassin and the mastermind behind the scenes will surely be revealed.

Without further ado, they acted immediately.The footsteps were light and soundless, and they approached the soil hole little by little.

And the black-clothed assassin standing at the entrance of the cave didn't seem to notice the imminent disaster at all, and turned his back to the outside, and even opened his trouser belt and started to undress.

A rare opportunity!

The two stepped forward at the same time, trying to throw the man down.

It can be said that it was too late, but the moment they both stepped on the muddy ground at the entrance of the cave, there was a strange sound of bamboo strips breaking and earth and rocks collapsing under their feet——

Another trap!

Lu You suddenly realized it, but it was too late.

He only had time to see clearly that there was no bamboo pipe inserted into the pit this time, and fell heavily into it.

The bottom of the pit was paved with a thick layer of boulders, and his forehead hit the stones, and the world was spinning suddenly, and his eyes were dark.

Before the consciousness was interrupted, Lu You's last feeling was that Tang Ruilang grabbed his hand tightly and never let go.

The breathless darkness seemed to last for a long, long time.

When the pain came faintly, Lu You suddenly realized that he was about to wake up.

The various sensations in the body became clear with the recovery of consciousness.He was soon convinced that he was leaning against a dirt wall, feeling sore and numb.The hands were cut behind the back, and the legs were tightly bound together.

Not only that, but even the mouth was stuffed with a large ball of rags, soaking the saliva.

Quickly recalling what happened before he fell into a coma, Lu You first ordered himself to remain calm, continued to pretend to be unconscious, and listened carefully to the movements around him.

It was very quiet all around, there was no sound or footsteps.

Little by little, he opened his eyes.

The first thing I saw was a square brick floor engraved with lotus patterns, and several bundles of straw were piled up in disorder.

Beside the straw is an old dusty table, and behind the table is a dilapidated Buddhist altar. Inside the alcove, there is a mud-made arhat with angry eyebrows. One arm fell to the ground, revealing the wooden skeleton inside.

People who practice martial arts have soft limbs, so it is not difficult to twist the hands that are cut back to the front of the body.Lu You regained his balance first, then struggled to stand up, licked a bit of window paper and looked out.

On the empty alley, as far as the eye can see are spacious buildings with hipped roofs, but the wall panes are very dilapidated, the roots of the walls are overgrown with weeds, and the ground is full of dust.

The specifications of the verandah roof are so high that apart from Confucian temples and palaces, temples are probably the only ones that can be used by leaps and bounds.

After confirming that there were no guards around, Lu You took out the rag from the gag and hurriedly searched for Tang Ruilang.

Struggling to turn over the straw pile, he finally saw Tang Ruilang leaning against the corner, the blindfold on his face hadn't been taken off, his forehead was swollen, and there were dried blood stains.

"Swiss, Swiss francs!"

Lu You was so frightened that his heart trembled, he hurriedly took off the blindfold on his face and the rag in his mouth, and whispered to his ear again.

At about the seventh sound, Tang Ruilang finally opened his eyes.The amber eyeballs turned a few times ignorantly, and locked on Lu You all of a sudden.

"Zoran! Are you injured?!"

"I'm fine." Lu You shook his head and asked him, "What about you?"

"Me too...it's okay."

Tang Ruilang struggled to sit up, looked around, and tried to recall: "We fell into the trap just now, and you passed out. Then a few people ran out of the hole in the earth and dug us out of the hole. I was also caught by them." I was knocked out... what is this place?"

"Like a temple." Lu You asked him again: "Is there a way to untie the rope from my hand?"

"let me see--"

Tang Ruilang also rolled his hands in front of him, and then looked down at his waist.

Sure enough, the saber and self-defense dagger were confiscated long ago.Even the short spikes hidden in the boots were not spared.

Lacking tools, he could only untie the knot on Lu You's wrist with his bare hands, pulling it out bit by bit with his nails.

But the knot was really weird, and it took him a while to untie one.However, a rough count shows that there are still seven or eight dead knots, each of which is tighter and smaller than the other, and I am afraid that it can only be cut with a knife.

"It doesn't look like it will work."

Even if he was unwilling, Tang Ruilang had no choice but to give up and look for other ways.

"...We must still be near Liuquan City now. All the temples in the Daning Dynasty, whether abandoned or not, have been registered in the official office. As long as we send clues, the Neifei Dragon Guard will definitely be able to find them here!"

"How?" Lu You asked back, "I've heard for a long time that there is no one around here, so you want to tell me that you can't run out with long legs?"

Tang Ruilang shook his head: "There are no ghosts on the ground, but there are ghosts in the sky."

"You mean White Eagle?"

Lu You's eyes lit up, and then he frowned again: "Your eagle whistle is so loud. I'm afraid you won't be able to attract the white eagle, but the villains around here will hear it first?"

"It's possible."

Tang Ruilang didn't quibble, but weighed the interests with him: "Those villains will come to torment us sooner or later, but once they come, it will be difficult for us to send any news... In fact, I still have a kind of eagle whistle at home, and the sound it makes is inaudible-"

"What time is it, you're still talking about all this stuff!"

Lu You interrupted him, then raised his head and looked around, his eyes finally locked on the dilapidated banner beside the arhat.

The banner with the lotus and the swastika logo is the symbol of the temple.If you wrap this around the white eagle's claws and report back, at least you can narrow down the scope of the search.

Thinking of this, he crawled and rolled to the edge of the Buddhist altar, stood up while supporting the confession case, grabbed the banner with both hands and pulled it hard.

The sound of the old and decayed silk being ripped was inaudible, and in a blink of an eye the strips of cloth were already in hand.Tang Ruilang, who was waiting at the side, immediately climbed to the window lattice, and a loud eagle whistle immediately echoed in the silent temple.

Will the white eagle come in response to the call, or let the assassin hear the movement and take the first step? !

No one can answer this suspense, like a sharp sword hanging above their heads.

"hurry up--"

Lu You stuffed the cloth strip to Rui Lang, and his heartbeat instantly beat like a drum, and he couldn't even breathe.Tang Ruilang took the cloth strip and stared out through the window hole intently.

Fortunately, within a short while, the two heard the sound of wings beating at the same time!

The White Eagle really came!

The two were overjoyed, Tang Ruilang quickly motioned for the white eagle to stop on the window lattice, then stretched out his hand from the window opening, and tied the cloth strips to the eagle's legs with great effort.

However, at the same time, there were crackling footsteps from another direction.

"Hurry up, don't let them find out!"

Lu You only hated that his hands were bound and he was helpless.Tang Ruilang was calm and relaxed, and tied two knots to fix it, and then he patted White Eagle's buttocks, signaling it to take off again.

I saw the white eagle flapping its wings and flying forward almost close to the wall, and then it flew high when it was far away.It seems to be spiritual, deliberately trying to deceive people.

Almost at the same moment, the sound of chains opening came from outside the broken house, and the door was kicked open immediately after.

Unexpectedly, it was six or seven naked monks who broke in.

"Who?! Who the hell was whistling just now?!"

A middle-aged bald donkey with big arms, round waist and unshaven beard rushed in one by one with a long stick in his hand, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

The room was quiet, Tang Ruilang and Lu You were leaning against the wall.Seeing that their hands and feet were all tightly bound, even the rags were still stuffed in their mouths.

Six or seven bald donkeys walked into the house one after another, and the air suddenly became cloudy.

The vicious monk in the lead was still yelling at the source of the whistle, when another tall and thin monk beside him suddenly sneered.

"You're fucking stupid, aren't you? Didn't you see the gag?"

As he said that, another short, fat monk stepped forward in two or three steps, and took out the rag from Lu You's mouth.

"Tell me! Did you make the whistle just now?!"

It was still the tall and thin monk who sneered: "You are also fucking stupid, you have a cloth stuffed in your mouth, why don't you give me a whistling?!"

"..."

Lu You looked at them so stupidly, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.If word spread that he was actually planted in the hands of such a group of idiots, what shame would there be?

But at this moment, another bald man with slender brows and eyes like a fox came over, his eyes circling Lu You with sticky eyes.

"Hey, this is the boy with the provincial card pinned to his waist just now, isn't he? He looks really upright. I heard that the little eunuchs in this palace all serve the emperor's father on the bed. Their skill is comparable to that of the Cuihua Tower The girls here are still a lot stronger—why don’t we ask our brothers to have sex too?”
