Jianghu chaos

Although the map of the mechanism is detailed and specific, it is not completely accurate. Ruan Xi followed the map very carefully, and still inadvertently hit a few organs and alarmed several hidden sentries. , At any rate, hide and hide to fool the past.The pictures look very new, they were painted not long ago, the coat of arms of Ye Fushu on the seal is correct, and the small letters of the words "Sunset City" in the corner have also been confirmed by Ruan Xi to be Ye Fushu's handwriting, and it is indeed from the Chaowenhui , but the information on it is generally correct, there are many mistakes and omissions in the details, and there are still many discrepancies with the real situation - indicating that the layout of the Sunset City's organs has been changed, and the tentacles of the Chaowenhui have not grown enough to obtain the latest information.

Fortunately, the secret sentinel mechanism is easy to change, and the entrance of such a long secret passage cannot be easily changed. After walking around carefully for a long time, the three finally found the entrance mechanism of the secret passage. Before the guards found out, they opened the entrance neatly and drilled in.

Once inside, Ruan Xi involuntarily took a deep breath—not so much a secret passage, but an underground corridor, or a narrow and long secret room.

This secret passage is very wide, and it is also very smooth and clean. It seems to be ready for use at any time. A lot of torches and candles are thoughtfully prepared, as well as some necessary water and dry food.Other than that, there is nothing inside, only a few flat stones scattered in twos and threes, larger ones, covered with grass, and covered with thin quilts. The quilts look fresh and have no musty smell. Obviously, they are often cleaned up. The smaller ones seem to be used as desks and dining tables, with dry pens and inks, old bronze mirrors and silver combs, and a plum blossom hairpin messily placed on them.

Ruan Xi picked it up and looked at it. The flower was crudely carved. It looked like a plum blossom hairpin, and the shape of the flower was like a peach blossom. A few holes were simply poked in the center of the flower, and it was regarded as a stamen. It looked like it was made by someone who is not good at carving. .

"Take it closer." Xie Chaohan blew on a torch, motioning him to come over, and carefully looked at the hairpin by the light of the fire, "The shape of this hairpin, and the flower shape, look familiar."

As soon as he said that, Ruan Xi couldn't help but nodded: "It seems... I've seen it somewhere..."

"Okay, it's serious to go out quickly." Duan Li turned his face away, looked around, and kept urging them, "It's just hairpins, they all look similar, why can't you see it? Don't waste time."

Xie Zhaohan glanced at him, and smiled inexplicably: "The sect's sect has always been the top secret and few people know it. Looking at some utensils and clothes, it seems that someone lived here for a while. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, there is no stain on the old things. What dust, it can be seen that someone has been cleaning up and maintaining it."

"Here...should be the place where Xia Yin hid Lian Bi. Thinking back to when the war was about to break out, this secret path was indeed the safest."

Ruan Xi finally remembered: "Mrs. Shangguan...Miss Ye ran into the inner courtyard by mistake and met Mrs. Shangguan by mistake. On the back of the old letter she accidentally brought back, the flowers and branches painted on the back are exactly the same as this hairpin!"

"Maybe it's a token of love." Xie Chaohan raised his chin, not being polite at all, "Put it away first, maybe it will be useful."

Duan Li was impatient: "How long are you going to dawdle? Don't forget that we are running for our lives! Maybe Ming Yuan will catch up later!"

Xie Chaohan wasn't too worried: "He can't leave Baichuan Villa for too long, so he might not have the leisure to stare at us."

"Senior Duan, why are you so fierce all of a sudden..." Ruan Xi muttered, took the torch and held it in front of him, "I'll go ahead to open the way, senior, please take care of Brother Xie."

Duan Li twitched the corner of his mouth uncomfortably, but did not speak.

The secret path is very long, but fortunately, it was a back road that Xia Yin left for his beloved back then. There were no traps in it, but the spare water and dry food allowed the three of them to replenish their strength.The map of the mechanism only marked the entrance, and did not mention where the exit was. The three of them didn't know how long they walked, let alone which direction they were going. Just looking at the trend of the secret road, it seemed that they were going down the mountain.

The three of them didn't dare to delay too much, they walked without stopping, until Ruan Xi was exhausted and drowsy, and finally reached the end.

At the end of the secret passage is a wall, and the exit is above the head, not too big or too small, just the size of a person flying out.

Xu considered that the secret path was the last retreat of the city lord of the setting sun, and it was a secret of the faction. It must be in the hands of his own people. The exit mechanism was made very simple and conspicuous, and Xie Chaohan could see it without the need for a reminder of the mechanism map.

Pressing the stone carving, the bricks and stones at the exit slowly opened, and a ray of sunlight pierced the eyes with heat, causing tears to come out all at once.Ruan Xi rubbed his face, and honestly put the torch back on the wall: "I'll go up and have a look first."

"Be careful." Duan Li said, consciously pulling Xie Chaohan onto his back.

The exit is in a desolate and remote woods, the location is at the foot of the mountain, and it has already walked a distance from the foot of the mountain, which is considered to have escaped from the control of Sunset City.Ruan Xi looked around for a while, and found that the whole forest was deserted, not even a single bird, let alone any other traces, immediately relieved, and shouted towards the exit: "It's okay, come out!"

Duan Li didn't say anything, and flew out with Xie Chaohan. When he landed, he couldn't adapt to the strong sunlight for a while, and staggered, almost losing his footing.

"Hey, be careful!" Ruan Xi hurried up to support him, and carefully helped Xie Chaohan down, "Brother Xie, how is your arm wound? We'll go back right away!"

"It's okay, I'm not a spoiled little girl..." Xie Chaohan waved his hands and smiled, just about to tease him, when his ears moved suddenly, his whole expression changed, "Be careful!"

The next moment, a copper hammer came through the air, aiming straight at Ruan Xi's back which was wide open!

Ruan Xi was caught off guard, and before he could react, Xie Chaohan pushed him hard with his injured arm. The copper hammer was hitting his chest, and blood gushed out instantly, and the blood on his arm and mouth exploded on the ground Datan's blood color immediately dyed his clothes red.

"Brother Xie!" Ruan Xi turned pale with shock, and rushed to catch him, "Brother Xie! You, how are you!"

Xie Chaohan's face was frighteningly pale, he bit his lower lip and said word by word: "It's... Guan... Shan... Yue..."

Duan Li suddenly turned his head, and casually picked up a branch: "You take him away first!"

"No...no way!" Ruan Xi hurriedly said, "Senior Duan, take Brother Xie away, I, I will stop them! I am from the Rong'an Chamber of Commerce, and they will not touch me!"

"Hmph, pretending to be passionate." With a sneer, Guan Shanyue jumped down from the treetops, "What is the Rong'an Chamber of Commerce, I want to kill him in Sunset City, and I can kill him too!"

Duan Li yelled: "You bastard, how did you find the way! Don't you know how to look up?!"

Ruan Xi panicked, and protected Xie Chaohan to retreat step by step: "You...you...go up...Ming Yuan won't kill us, you, are you going to defy him!"

Guan Shanyue's eyebrows moved slightly, and for a moment, it was as if the beauty in an ancient painting frowned slightly, so gorgeous that it almost stirred up the sun, and the watery eyes under those long eyebrows, at this moment, were the abyss and cold pool, stirring the turbulent waves There is a sinister undercurrent, and Gu Panjian is full of murderous intentions: "It's his wife's benevolence not to kill you, and sooner or later something bad will happen. Why don't I become this villain and put an end to his troubles first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen dead soldiers wearing sunset-patterned masks jumped out of his side, with a dozen knives gleaming coldly, pointing directly at the three of them.

"Kill." Guan Shanyue said coldly.

"Wait!" Xie Chaohan suddenly said loudly, just as he yelled two words, another mouthful of blood sprayed on Ruan Xi's shoulder. With a beating smile, "Guardian Zuo Shuo... You, cough, don't you want to know how we got into the secret path?"

The issuing hand paused in the air, Guan Shanyue glanced at him indifferently: "I have spies in Sunset City."

"Looks like Guardian Zuo...has been aware of it for a long time..." Xie Chaohan said intermittently, "27 years ago...how did Xia Yin die...Guard Zuo should be, he hates spies deeply...the pain is...cough, Why, haven't you found it yet? Zuo Hufa is not afraid...Xia Yin's son, repeating the same mistakes...?"

Guan Shanyue's expression changed.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Li pushed Ruan Xi violently, grabbed a mere branch and attacked: "Let's go!"

"part……"

"go!"

Xie Chaohan broke away from his hand, and pushed him away with all his strength: "Mei...Qian..."

At the very moment, Ruan Xi finally understood completely. He gritted his teeth and glanced at Duan Li, who was already wrapped around Guan Shanyue, and pulled Xie Chaohan over. up.

Lingshuang is not melted, and there is no trace of treading snow. Even with one person, it is not difficult to get rid of these dead soldiers in the sunset city. As long as Hua Rulian and Jian Ling don't meet, he will definitely be able to escape.

Apart from taking a gamble, Duan Li had no other choice, and right now he could only do his best to block Guan Shanyue for a while and win him a chance.

Guan Shanyue didn't seem to take him seriously, he only had a copper hammer left in his hand, but he was still pressing forward every step of the way, even using offense instead of defense, without any intention of protection.The copper hammer was powerful, and Duan Li only had one unusable branch, which couldn't stop his mighty power, but after two or three moves, the branch would be completely torn apart, and he could only respond to his moves with his bare hands.

Most of the dozen or so dead soldiers went after Ruan Xi and Xie Chaohan, only two were left standing aside, waiting to join the battle at any moment to give Duan Li a fatal blow.Duan Li had to deal with it hard, but he could only support it with all his strength. Guan Shanyue had never slacked off for more than [-] years, and his skills had improved much compared to before. He couldn't beat him before, let alone now.

When Mount Tai pressed down, Duan Li raised his hand to block it, closed his eyes instinctively, opened them again quickly, and stared at Guan Shanyue without any fear.

But the copper hammer stopped the moment it was about to hit him, Guan Shanyue was close to him, her pair of heroic and beautiful eyes suddenly widened, full of surprise: "You...it's you?!"

Duan Li raised his foot and kicked, turned around and backed away a few steps, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then attacked again with his fists in his hands.

Guan Shanyue, however, changed from her fierce and vicious moves before, and instead avoided his moves: "You're not dead?!"
