Jianghu chaos

"If you tell us this, you must have won the battle." Xie Chaohan smiled wryly, and blurted out a mockery that was unfamiliar even to himself, "When are you going to do it?"

Shangguan Yun looked at him quietly without answering.

Xie Chaohan said sadly: "In three days, the ceremony of the Wulin League alliance?"

"Brother Xie and Ruan are wronged. With you here, nothing bad will happen to Brother Mei."

Shangguan Yun bowed apologetically, and he didn't know what mechanism he pressed. The stone door on the side slowly opened, and the sunlight came in two or three times, illuminating the bronze mirrors on the tables and chairs in the corner of the dark room.The light flickered on the bronze mirror, and it flowed onto Shangguan Yun like water. Following him, he turned around and walked towards the door step by step.

The moment he was about to step out the door, Xie Chaohan called him instinctively: "Brother Shangguan!"

Shangguan Yun paused, and he did not know when he was carrying a mask with sunset pattern in his hand.He slowly put the mask on his face, looked sideways, and his gaze was on the bronze mirror in the corner.

"I am Ming Yuan."

The man in the mirror said word by word.

The dark room was closed abruptly, and the room returned to its previous darkness, leaving only dying torches and candles.

Ruan Xi slumped down on the ground, holding his knees with his hands, his eyes lost all expression, and he just stared blankly at the direction of Shimen.As if sensing Xie Chaohan's gaze, he slightly raised his head, his mouth was slightly opened, but he couldn't make any sound.

Xie Chaohan dragged his injured arm and walked over, sat down beside him: "Don't hold back."

Ruan Xi's eyes were red, and he wanted to say something, but after several times he hesitated to say something, he suddenly lowered his head, wiped his eyes hard, and stood up abruptly: "Thank you, brother Xie, I... I will definitely save you." Get out! You must, must not look at him... If he really does something at the alliance meeting, it will be completely and irreparably!"

"He said so far, he has already arranged every step of the way to go." Xie Chaohan stared at him, his eyes were piercing, "Are you really sure that you can stop him?"

Ruan Xi gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and said loudly: "I will definitely be able to stop him!"

"Okay." Xie Chaohan breathed a sigh of relief, tore off a section of his sleeve, tied his upper arm tightly, and fixed the injured arm behind his back, "Let's find a way to escape."

"I took the opportunity to take a look outside when I opened the door just now. It was early morning outside, and the sun was not strong. It should not be long before sunrise." Xie Zhaohan walked a few steps, and said in a deep voice, "It was just sunset when we arrived in Sunset City, and you and I fainted during that time For a while... are you hungry now?"

Ruan Xi was taken aback by his sudden question, and subconsciously rubbed his stomach: "It's okay."

It's okay not to mention it, but when I mentioned it, my stomach grumbled at the right time, which was especially obvious in the dark room with only two people, and Ruan Xi blushed with embarrassment, wishing to crawl into a crack in the wall.

Xie Chaohan didn't care, and only seriously analyzed: "You're just hungry, but it's not unbearable, which means we've only been stuck here for one night. Mingyuan is going to do something at the alliance meeting, and we still have two days to go back."

Two days is not short, but it is by no means long. Two days is enough for many things to happen, and it is also enough to trap them to death here without drinking or eating.

"Sunset City is the headquarters of the hero Yugu, and the entire Seven Stars Fort must be as dense as the dark room." Xie Chaohan slowly paced in the dark room, tapping left and right with his intact arm, trying to find the mechanism, "Ming Yuan opened the door Did you see it clearly? Where did he move?"

Ruan Xi followed him brick by brick: "It was too dark just now, I couldn't see clearly."

"Forget it, what kind of person he is, why would you and I see him?" Xie Chaohan was not surprised, he groped carefully under the shadow of the candle, "Think about it, what mechanism would Sunset City like."

Ruan Xi thought for a while, then tentatively said: "Astronomical phenomena?"

It's the lunar moon and the 28 constellations. I don't know where Xia Yin was so poor and fastidious back then.

Xie Chaohan was noncommittal, still frowning and thinking carefully: "Xia Yin's Sunset City happened 30 years ago, and the current city lord is Shang...Ming Yuan. With his temperament, he will definitely change the mechanism. The guard system of Baichuan Villa was also designed by him, maybe there will be similarities between the two..."

It's just... where is the similarity?

Xie Chaohan realized sadly that he had been friends with that person since he was a child, and he had to go to Baichuan Villa several times a year, but he never found out the mechanism of Baichuan Villa.The etiquette that that person uses to treat guests has always been just right, the most measured, and there will never be a guest entering the office by mistake.

Ruan Xi didn't even have a clue, he could only watch the candle flames gradually fade away, and turned around anxiously.

Calling every day should not be, calling the earth is not working, he has grown up so big, he has never been in such a desperate situation!

"Ah!" Ruan Xi yelled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "There is no way out!"

He finally remembered what Liu Linfeng said when he handed the letter to him before leaving the Yaji Academy in Luoyang—"Remember to open it when you have nowhere to go."

Xie Chaohan didn't have much hope: "They must have already searched their bodies, a letter is not something secret, it should have been discovered long ago..."

The voice stopped suddenly, Xie Chaohan watched in amazement as Ruan Xi took out a letter from his arms, it was sealed tightly, and Ye Fushu's coat of arms on the seal was still intact, it didn't look like it had been touched at all.

Ruan Xiru saw the savior: "It's okay, it's okay, the letter is still there!"

Xie Chaohan was in a complicated mood, he couldn't tell whether it was luck or resentment that he was underestimated: "They didn't search the body...Ming Yuan is too confident, so he thinks we can't escape?"

Ruan Xi had already opened the letter, shook a corner of the envelope, and dropped a stack of papers.The two spread out the pavement, held candles and approached to distinguish carefully. After staring at it for a long time, they realized the sign—it turned out to be a set of mechanism diagrams!

Xie Chaohan tossed and turned in amazement, and finally found a few small characters in the corner of the last and largest picture: Sunset City.

In other words, this set is exactly the map of the Sunset City mechanism that will help you in a timely manner!

"This is too coincidental..." Lian Ruanxi didn't dare to go into details, rubbed his eyes and looked at it several times, "It turned out to be the mechanism map of Sunset City..."

Xie Chaohan took the smallest one, carefully compared the layout of the darkroom with the layout on the diagram, hesitated for a moment, stepped over the bricks and stones step by step according to the diagram drawn in the mechanism, stood still at the position obliquely facing the bronze mirror, stretched He tapped the third brick in front of him six times, fast and slow.

The whole wall trembled suddenly, Xie Chaohan pondered for a while, crossed two wall bricks, and pressed a brick crack.

Sure enough, the wall moved, and the appearance of a door slowly emerged, and then it turned open softly, revealing a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.

Ruan Xi's eyes widened: "Really...really..."

Xie Chaohan was even more disturbed: "The Chaowen Society is so powerful. Not only did they get the mechanism map of Sunset City, but they also guessed that you would be imprisoned and sent the mechanism map to you?"

Even the people in Sunset City would never have imagined that just because they didn't search their bodies, whether they were negligent or too conceited, they had inadvertently opened the door for them, and just neglected to find a way out!

Ruan Xi didn't have time to think too much, the movement at the Shimen alarmed the guards outside, and the sound of footsteps was already approaching quickly, leaving no time for them to question the mechanism map.

"It's a big deal to be caught again!" Ruan Xi's heart swelled, and he rushed out bravely. He had everything on his body, except the sword given by Xie Chaohan and the hidden weapon bag he had just put on the day before yesterday.He didn't have a weapon at hand, and he didn't have the skill of picking leaves and flying flowers as hidden weapons like Mei Qian, so he could only fumble desperately into his bosom, and when he found something, he threw out a jade pendant without blinking.

The top-quality pendant was also powerful when smashed. The person who rushed to the front was hit in the unconscious point before he even had time to shout out. Ruan Xi wiped off his cold sweat, pulled down his purse tensely, and took out the silver tael as a hidden weapon. He didn't feel bad at all. The ground volleys and punches holes.

Ling Shuang's footwork on the snow is already quick to win, and at this moment Ruan Xi is holding on to the spirit of 12 points. The meridians and acupoints of the human body that he had memorized day and night seemed to suddenly come to life, stretching in front of him, gradually forming a Another set of heavenly scriptures, he usually can't figure it out when he thinks about it, but at this moment when the enemy is in front of him and he is isolated and helpless, it seems like someone has given a blow to his head, and he suddenly understands in an instant.

After regaining consciousness, the dozens of guards who came after hearing the sound were all knocked down, and the movement did not spread too far. Ruan Xi didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly helped Xie Chaohan to find a way out.

"Senior Duan..." Xie Chaohan lowered his voice, "Before, I vaguely heard them say that Senior Duan was locked in the dark room next door."

Ruan Xi understood, looked left and right compared to the map of the mechanism, quickly dug out the mechanism and opened the dark room, and sure enough, he saw Duan Li was bound hands and feet and thrown inside, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, struggling desperately when he saw the light When he saw Ruan Xi, he even jumped up, ignoring the ropes on his hands and feet, and jumped towards Ruan Xi.

Duan Li looked embarrassed, but he was completely unscathed. It seemed that the situation was much better than that of Xie Chaohan.

"He didn't kill you or hurt you." Xie Chaohan murmured, "Perhaps, there is still a chance to turn around."

Duan Li was full of questions, and now was not the time to ask in detail, he was hesitant to speak all the way and stopped holding back, so Ruan Xi had to tell the general outline of what happened in the hiding room.

"Shangguan Yun is Ming Yuan??" Upon hearing the news, Duan Li was so startled that he almost yelled, but luckily he stopped in time, and after a moment of thought, he silently swallowed it back.

Ruan Xi was already in a state of confusion, and didn't have the heart to ask questions. He just concentrated on studying the mechanism diagram, entrusted Xie Chaohan to Duan Li, and grabbed a handful of broken silver to lead the battle.

Ye Fushu’s mechanism map is not detailed, it’s just a general indication, but the place where there may be secret sentries is drawn in a circle with a Chinese ink brush. After Ruan Xi figured it out, he followed Tudong to hide in Tibet, and the journey went smoothly and he managed to avoid it several times. Sunset City Guard.

There is a secret road marked on the mechanism map, which can lead directly to twenty miles away. As long as they walk out of the secret road, they will be considered escaped.
