The king is the guide of the ministers

For His Majesty's concern.

However, Cong Mo, who was rushing to the northern border, did not expect that when he returned to Dongting again, he would face a life-changing change.

----------

Crack, crack, crack—the flint rubbed sparks in the dark.

"It's better not to light it! If there is any flammable and explosive gas in it, we will be finished with this ignition!" Liu Ci tightly covered Xuanyuan Lingye's flint with both hands.Xuanyuan Lingye felt that what Liu Ci said was reasonable, so he put away the flint and steel.

In the dry well, it is dim and dark, extending in all directions.Facing such an intricate tunnel, Liu Ci was dumbfounded: "It's really interesting, I think all the wells in this town should be connected. But what are these tunnels for? Evacuation?" Liu Ci shook his head, he thought not like.

"It's already down anyway, let's take a look inside." Xuanyuan Lingye picked up Li'er, took Liu Ci's hand, and was about to walk into one of the paths.

However, Liu Ci got into the tunnel before Xuanyuan Lingye, pulled Yelin behind her, and said to Xuanyuan Lingye with a smile: "I'll go to the front, you go to the back, and Yelin goes in the middle. You can take care of everything, brother."

"Go slowly and be careful!" Xuanyuan Lingye grabbed Liu Ci and told her.

Liu Ci smiled lightly, pointed to his head, and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem! I just lost my right hand, but the ability to steal is still here!"

After walking for a while in the tunnels, no accident happened. Except for the sulfur smell, there were no other abnormalities in these tunnels.There are deep ruts in the tunnel, which seem to be caused by repeated pressing back and forth over the years.

"Xuanyuan Lingye, I think this town must be closed." Liu Ci frowned.

Xuanyuan Lingye bent down, gestured twice on those ruts, nodded and said, "Privately mine sulfur ore."

"If it is sold to neighboring countries or remnants of the rebel party, it will be chaotic. By the way, do people here know how to make gunpowder?" Liu Ci asked.

"Only a very small number of warlocks will."

Xuanyuan Lingye's answer reassured Liu Ci somewhat.

"Do you think we can walk outside the town through these tunnels?" Liu Ci thought, since it is a transportation passage, there must be an exit leading to the outside.

Xuanyuan Lingye was silent for a while before saying: "Yes, but the direction you are going, if I am not mistaken, should be towards the hot spring!"

As soon as the words were finished, the people in front stopped in their tracks, Liu Ci turned around, complaining, "You know it's too late!"

"You didn't ask me before." Xuanyuan Lingye didn't care.

"Then you lead the way, let's go back!" The air here is very bad, and Liu Ci may be bad for his health if he stays for a long time.

"No, just keep going, you can go out from the hot spring. Besides, those people probably didn't expect us to come out from the hot spring. Maybe they are already waiting at the other exits." Xuanyuan Lingye said .

"Yeah." Liu Ci felt that his mind was a little blocked, and he was still hungry alone.It's rare to go on a night tour with Xuanyuan Ling now, and unexpectedly encounter such unlucky things.Liu Ci even began to wonder whether she was not destined for a peaceful and peaceful life.

Goo-goo-goo-goo-

"Are you hungry?" Xuanyuan Lingye asked Liu Ci.Liu Ci nodded, not feeling embarrassed at all.

"Eat." A sesame seed cake was handed to Liu Ci, and Liu Ci took a bite after taking it. Although it was not very crispy, everything was delicious when he was hungry. "When did you put sesame seed cakes in the burden?" Liu Ci remembered that he didn't see sesame seed cakes when he was tidying up, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't take them.

"I stuffed it for Li'er to play with in the morning." Xuanyuan Lingye replied calmly.

"..." Liu Ci chewed the biscuits in his mouth, looked at the baby with some depression, and looked at the baby's little paws that were not very clean because of touching them. Liu Ci didn't know what the biscuits in his mouth were. Should it be swallowed or spit out.

As if seeing Liu Ci's concerns, Xuanyuan Lingye smiled and said, "It's always been in Li'er's clothes, and he never touched it with his little dirty hands."

Liu Ci smiled and took another big bite, then said, "Father doesn't think it's dirty! It's fine if you touch it."

Although a sesame seed cake couldn't fill his stomach, it was indeed much better, now Liu Ci walked even harder.Ye Lin looked at Liu Ci who was walking vigorously ahead, turned his head and said to Xuanyuan Lingye in a low voice: "Just now he took four wrong paths, we have to take a long detour if we want to go out. Why didn't you remind him."

Xuanyuan Lingye raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then why didn't you remind him when you found out?"

With a sullen face, Ye Lin choked out such a sentence after a while: "I'm afraid of hurting his self-esteem!"

Xuanyuan Lingye looked at Liu Ci's cheerful appearance in front of him, then bent down and said softly to Ye Lin, "I feel the same way."

"What are you talking about? What kind of empathy?" Liu Ci suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.

Xuanyuan Lingye smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Yelin said he was a little hungry, and I feel a little bit the same."

Now Liu Ci felt guilty, he only cared about filling his stomach but forgot to ask Xuanyuan Lingye and Ye Lin if they were hungry too. "I've finished eating the sesame seed cakes." Liu Ci looked away awkwardly and muttered.

"It's okay, we'll find something to eat after we go out." Xuanyuan Lingye smiled.

In fact, it has always been Xuanyuan Lingye's greatest hobby to tease Liu Ci whenever he has something to do.

Chapter 008: The Town Was Bombed, The Unexpected People

After walking in the tunnel for a while, Ye Lin endured it for a long time, but after Liu Ci led them to make a big circle, he finally couldn't help it anymore.He turned around and asked Xuanyuan Lingye: "Are you really not going to remind him of going the wrong way?"

Xuanyuan Lingye looked at Liu Ci who was hanging his head in front of him as if he was struggling with a biscuit, sighed, stopped him, and said, "At the fork in front of Liu Ci, take the second road on the left."

"Ah? Oh..." Liu Ci nodded.

Next, under Xuanyuan Lingye's instructions, he turned left and right and walked for less than a stick of incense before seeing an exit.

It's just that there was no light coming in from the exit, Liu Ci turned around wonderingly and asked, "It's not night outside now, is it?"

Xuanyuan Lingye nodded and said with a smile, "It should be almost late at night."

"Have you been walking here for so long outside? Zezhenzi doesn't seem to be that big!" Liu Ci was very puzzled.

Ye Lin rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: Isn't it all because you took us around and wasted time inside!

When he was about to walk towards the exit, he heard a loud noise from outside. The sound outside was very chaotic, but after careful identification, Liu Ci found that it should be mining.

"Shall we go out? Or wait here?" Liu Ci asked Xuanyuan Lingye.

After Xuanyuan Lingye thought for a while, he handed Li'er to Liu Ci to play with the hair on his forehead, and said, "I'll go out and restrain them in a while, and you take Li'er and Ye Lin to leave first."

Liu Ci stared into Xuanyuan Lingye's eyes for a long time, then nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take them out of town as soon as I go out, don't you want to fight, just leave!"

"Don't run around, listen to Yelin." Xuanyuan Lingye was not at all at ease to let Liu Ci run blindly.

Liu Ci looked at the kid next to him who could only pretend to be cool, and the corners of his lips twitched, telling him that such an adult should listen to the little boy's command, if this matter got out, he, Liu Ci, would really be ashamed up!

When he got to the exit, he saw Xuanyuan Lingye bent down and grabbed a handful of crushed stones on the ground, and then nodded to Liu Ci, he flew out of the tunnel, using his hands to push the crushed stones into the ground Toss all the heads.Pebbles fell from the sky like flowers scattered by a goddess, and people who were hit by the pebbles were injured or died.

Liu Ci took the opportunity to take the child and escaped under the cover of Xuanyuan Lingye.

"Where do you want to go?" A warm voice sounded behind Liu Ci.

The cold blade touched his back, the tip of the knife scratched his clothes, and the sharp edge touched a faint bloodstain on his back.

"Let him go!" Xuanyuan Lingye did not know when he came to the side of the masked man, and grabbed the life gate on his wrist.

The man withdrew the dagger, and said calmly, "Even if I let him go, you won't be able to leave. There will be poisonous gas coming out of here in a while, and you just wait to die!" The smell of eggs came out erratically.

As soon as those mining people smelled this smell, they dropped their tools in a panic and wanted to escape, but the man with the mask yelled sharply: "Whoever dares to escape now, kill the whole family!"

Everyone was startled, not knowing whether to leave or stay.Staying here is death, escaping is death...

The bad smell became stronger and stronger, and some people even started to want to jump into the pool.After seeing this situation, Liu Ci shouted loudly: "Don't jump into the water!"

It's a pity that the man didn't listen to Liu Ci's words, after jumping into the pool, he only heard a scream, and his whole body became bloody.

Everyone present was startled, how could a good hot spring suddenly become like this.At this time, someone in the crowd pointed at Liu Ci and shouted: "That's him! He must have thrown poison into the pond!"

In an instant, all the spearheads pointed at Liu Ci.Liu Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

You must know that hydrogen sulfide gas is soluble in water and is heavier than air. If the concentration of hydrogen sulfide here is getting heavier and heavier, then these springs will turn into sulfuric acid liquid...

Li'er started to feel very uncomfortable
