[Lu Xiaofeng] Blindness

Chapter 11 Clues

The dungeon was extremely damp, with a smile mixed with an indescribable smell of blood and rotting objects.

Ximen Chuuxue was holding a piece of red wax that was only half left in his hand. Along the way, there was only a dead silence, and there was no sign of living people at all.

This underground setting is a water prison, and each cell is fixed and separated by fine iron. It is impossible for there to be any living people in the pools of stagnant water. Ximen Chuuxue was a little disappointed. If so, the chances of that person surviving are too high. small.

And it's hard to save the poisoned people all over the city.

After confirming that he had walked to the end, Ximen Chuuxue wanted to turn around, but in an instant, he turned his head back in a hurry, his eyes tightly locked in the darkness.

An unimaginably weak breathing sound, after he stopped, finally showed some signs, Ximen Chuuxue suddenly realized that he hadn't noticed this sound before, because the breathing rate of the other party happened to be stepping on his footsteps superior.

Ximen Chuuxue's hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

"call out!"

A round stone was suddenly thrown into the water, causing a large ripple.

Other than that, there was no other movement.

But when Ximen Chuuxue wanted to throw it again, a dark head suddenly popped out of the water.

"Who is disturbing my peace?"

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at this person strangely when he heard the words, this filthy environment can be called quiet.

"who are you?"

The man stood up straight from the water, smiled, showing his white teeth: "Dead."

As he got closer, Ximen Chuuxue could see the appearance of that person clearly. His hair was long and scattered behind him, his face was extremely old, and there were even some rotten wounds.

Not only the face, but also the exposed body showed more or less signs of decay.

Ximen Chuuxue even saw a snow-white maggot emerge from the man's rotting wound, and then the man grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth indifferently.

That natural demeanor, as if he didn't realize how much impact his actions would have on people, Ximen Chuuxue felt a little nauseous, the acid in his stomach surged up, after barely suppressing it, he really didn't want to Go and watch this person.

"You are not from the Nanwang Mansion, you probably broke in secretly." The man's voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant, and he spoke slowly, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Ximen Chuuxue nodded, he didn't think there was anything difficult to guess.

"I'm here to find Xuanruo."

The man smiled hehehe: "He's already dead."

"then who are you?"

"Lonely ghost."

Ximen Chuuxue frowned, he felt that such a conversation was meaningless.

"I don't care who you are, I just want to know one thing, can you detox Gui Chen's poison?"

Guichen is the chief culprit of this plague. It took Xuanruo a year to develop it back then, and its toxicity may be far inferior to the deadly poison such as Hedinghong Duanchang Powder, but this poison It covers a wide area and caused a lot of casualties, but it is enough to make it one of the world's strange poisons.

"Ashes to ashes to ashes, what's wrong with that?"

"You are not qualified to choose for others."

The man smiled strangely: "Young man, the one who fell into the dust is your relatives and friends, or your confidante."

"Neither, I have never met them before."

Xuan Ruo snorted: "Then why did you come to see me?"

Ximen Chuuxue said calmly: "I want to come, so I will."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

After the laughter, Xuanruo came up from the pool: "People in the world seek to make progress and become masters. Most of them avoid troubles and hardships, but there are also people who like to swim upstream and have good intentions, but you don't seem to be here. in between."

"Forget it, since you found me, it doesn't matter if Gui Chen's antidote is told to you."

Ximen Chuuxue carefully wrote down the prescription he gave, and after confirming it again, he said, "Do you have any unfulfilled wish?"

He doesn't want to owe favors, and now he has a prescription from the other party, so he should express it.

When Xuanruo heard this, he raised his wrist, revealing two extremely black and heavy iron shackles: "This is made of cold iron, which has imprisoned my freedom for 20 years."

Ximen Chuuxue also looked over when he heard the words.

But seeing Xuanruo's fists clenched tightly, exerting force suddenly, only a clang sound was heard, and the two shackles broke in response, and fell heavily to the ground, making the sound of gold and stone colliding.

Ximen Chuuxue's eyes froze, this skill is really not shallow.

Xuanruo looked indifferent at this moment: "Even if it is fine iron, it will lose its original firmness after being corroded by poisonous water for many years, not to mention people's hearts. I am already tired and don't want to go out anymore."

"If you want, just give Lan Ning a word for me!"

"I never blamed her, so she doesn't have to feel guilty anymore."

"it is good."

On the other side, Lu Xiaofeng was also speechless for a while looking at Lan Ning who was crying silently. He was not afraid of women, but once a woman cried, he would be more at a loss than a scourge.

While crying, Lan Ning looked at Sikong Zaixing and muttered, "It really looks like it was 20 years ago."

"Princess, please stop crying." Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly, "After the matter is over, you can see him for as long as you want."

Lan Ning wiped away her tears silently: "Okay, actually I know he's not dead, he's in the dungeon, but I haven't dared to see him, I'm sorry for him."

"Dungeon?"

"Well, Dad has been closely monitoring my every move for 20 years. If he is dead, there is no need for this."

"Where is that dungeon?"

"It's right under your feet. I don't know where the mechanism to enter is." Lan Ning said again; "But I know that this dungeon will activate a mechanism every six hours."

Ximen Chuixue narrowly avoided the hidden arrows shot from both sides of the aisle, rolled on the spot, and knelt firmly on one knee in a blind spot where the hidden weapon could not reach, a little scarlet dripped from the tip of his right finger.

The mechanism was activated too suddenly, and he was caught off guard by a back arrow piercing his shoulder.

The arrowhead had grooved barbs, if it was pulled out forcefully, a large piece of the belt would have to be torn off, Ximen Chuuxue could only break it off, the arrowhead was still in the flesh, waiting to be dealt with.

It's just that as time passed, the footsteps became heavier and heavier.

Ximen Chuuxue knew that he had been poisoned, so he swallowed four or five detoxification pills and managed to suppress it.

Now, let's find a way to get out of here.

But all the traps have been activated, and it is almost impossible to go back the same way. Ximen Chuuxue gritted his teeth and chose a random way forward. Up to now, he can only take one step at a time.

The Nanwang Mansion was suddenly brightly lit, and there were patrolling people everywhere. Lan Ning frowned and looked outside, "Someone broke into the Nanwang Mansion and was found."

"Huh?" When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, the first thing that Lu Xiaofeng thought of was Ximen Chuuxue, but he also felt that with the skill of the other party, he shouldn't be easily caught.

"You guys stay here first, I'll go out and have a look."

After Lan Ning left, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaoxing looked at each other.

"How credible do you think her words are?"

"Half-truth, half-truth, but I think if we don't leave quickly, we will probably be caught in the urn."

"Then the wind will be tight, huh—"

Ximen Chuuxue came out of the underground passage clutching his shoulders, but when he looked up, he didn't know where he was at all. He could hear the footsteps of those people searching and chasing him. A courtyard appeared, brightly lit.

The search was tight from behind, the poison on his body was already hard to suppress, Ximen Chuuxue rolled over and entered the inner courtyard without hesitation.

There is a chessboard in front of Ye Gucheng, and he holds white and black, playing against himself.

This time he came to the Nanwang Mansion in the name of donating materials, but in fact he was just trying to win an official route. The Central Plains is very large, and Feixian Island is rich in products. If it is sold in the Central Plains, it can produce The profit is more than three times higher than in the South China Sea.

For this, he is bound to win.

Qingzhou City is the largest county under the jurisdiction of the Nanwang Mansion. Now the plague is rampant, and the people are struggling to survive. At the time when the entire Nanwang Mansion is in dire straits, it will help to improve the popularity of the people. Even if the competition fails in the end, there is still room for manipulation.

Ye Gucheng was planning this when he saw a person come in from the window.

Ximen Chuuxue took a slight staggered step when he landed, but jumped up the next moment, with a cold light in his hand, like the ripples on the surface of a lake, coming to kill him.

"Clang clang-"

The sound of the snow-white chess pieces colliding with the sword's edge was extremely ear-piercing, nine pieces in a row, Ximen Chuuxue swept them away. At this moment, his right hand had already pressed the corner of the table, turned over, and the sword in his hand had been handed out.

But when he saw that person's face, Ximen Chuuxue was stunned for a moment, losing his vigor.

Ye Gucheng's sword landed on the side of Ximen Chuuxue's white neck, and he was a little surprised to see him stop. Although he was confident that his sword would be able to restrain the opponent, but with such a reaction... Ye Gucheng lifted the man's black mask, revealing The face made him feel indescribably familiar.

Sword brows and star eyes, thin lips, although the brows and eyes are stern but vaguely look like a boy, the depth of the eyes is extremely dazzling light, just like the morning stars.

The night wind blew the candles flickering, Ye Gucheng was still holding a sword in his hand, Ximen Chuixue was half lying sideways on the table, three thousand black hairs were scattered on the messy chess pieces on the table, the young man slightly raised his head, looking as flawless as many years ago to the bone.

"Ye Gucheng." He said with certainty.

The man withdrew his sword: "Why are you here?"

Although it has been ten years, if he still does not recognize him like this, those family elders who praise him for his youthful precociousness and unforgettable memory will probably have to doubt their own eyesight.

Ximen Chuuxue got off the table and put his sword back into its sheath.

Before the words to explain came out, there were extremely clear footsteps outside, from far to near.

"Go to bed."

After Ye Gucheng finished speaking, he walked over and put down the bed curtain, and then unbuttoned his coat.

Ximen Chuuxue followed his words.

There was a knock on the door, louder and louder.

Ye Gucheng waited for a while before opening the door.

The person who came into view was Jiang Chongwei, the head of Pingnan Palace.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Chongwei cupped his hands: "It's really presumptuous to disturb the city lord's rest. I don't know if the city lord Ye has seen other people?"

Ye Gucheng's eyes were calm: "No."

"Just now I heard that there seems to be some movement on the city lord's side."

Ye Gucheng took a step to the side: "I just carve something when I have nothing to do."

Jiang Chongwei took a look inside and saw several chess pieces on the table, all of which were carved into fingernail-sized jade lotuses. It's true."

"Missing praise, you have to go inside and talk about it."

Jiang Chongwei quickly waved his hand: "I'm really sorry, I still have important things to do now, so I won't bother the city lord. I will come to make amends another day, and leave."

Ye Gucheng waited for them to go far away before returning to the table in a hurry and pouring a glass of water.

The footsteps outside went back and forth, and stayed for a while to ensure that there was really no movement before leaving.

Ye Gucheng lifted the curtain, but saw Ximen Chuixue leaning against the head of the bed with his eyes closed.

"Can you sleep like this?" Ye Gucheng was dumb, and felt that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand to feel the other person's pulse, but his hand was wet and greasy, with a faint smell of blood.
