"I'll go, it's just to bring the edict up, just by myself. You wait up there with them." Hua Fan said.

Yan Hanmu thought about it carefully and felt that what Hua Fan said was reasonable.

Hua Fan walked down the stone steps of the secret passage step by step. It was extremely dark in the cave, without a trace of light. Hua Fan walked down suddenly, and his eyes became dark and he couldn't see anything. After a while, he finally regained consciousness.

Got better.

The back of my neck tightened, Yan Honglei had already grasped the life gate,

"Give me the five-color edict." Hua Fan went straight to the topic.

"Let the people outside leave." Yan Honglei was not polite.

Hua Fan: "Deal, you give me the Five-Colored Edict, and I'll let the people outside leave."

Smokey Red Tears: "...."

Smokey Red Tears: "Impossible."

"Why are you working so hard for Shangguan Chiying?" Hua Fan asked.

"It's none of your business." Yan Hong said through tears.

Hua Fan wanted to say something else, but he felt a strong force coming from the darkness, and he was already pushed against the wall of the secret passage by the smoky red tears. Hua Fan had never been so close to him, so that his

Breathing and heartbeat were clearly visible. From Hua Fan's perspective, his eyes were like another secret tunnel, bottomless. The next second, I felt a cold chill on my lips, and his eyes were a little closer.

point.

If it weren't for the wet feeling on her lips, Hua Fan would hardly have dared to conclude that it was a kiss. There was no extra emotion between her and Yan Honglei, at least that's what she thought.

His lips left, and strangely, Hua Fan suddenly felt dizzy, and the darkness around her became darker and darker, sweeping in bit by bit. She felt as if she was being gradually submerged by a pool of black water. Yes, it should be a spell. Hua Fan

She saw Yan Honglei reciting a mantra, and following the mantra, she fell completely into darkness.

Hua Fan was woken up by Yan Hanmu. Yan Hanmu seemed to be shaking a dead thing. He grabbed her clothes and knocked her on the stone wall behind her several times before Hua Fan slowly woke up.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sleepy at this time? Because this place feels like the middle of the night, and you want to fall asleep?" Yan Hanmu said grumblingly while shaking her.

Only then did Hua Fan realize that he was sitting on the ground of the secret passage, leaning against the stone wall of the secret passage, with his head tilted on his shoulders, looking like he was sleeping soundly. Looking around, he saw that the secret passage had been illuminated by the torches brought by the secret guards.

It is as bright as day. This secret passage is said to be an "underground palace", but it is actually the size of a room. It is arched in shape, more like a vegetable cellar where ordinary people store food in winter. More than a dozen people stood inside, crowded.

Incomparable.

Hua Fan saw that at the end of the "vegetable cellar" there was a round pear wood table, which was empty. "Not good!" Hua Fan blurted out, "The Five Colored Edict has been taken away!"

Yan Hanmu was confused: "What did you say? Where is the five-color edict? You are the only one in the secret passage, who else can take it?"

Hua Fan shook his dizzy head vigorously, and his thinking suddenly became clear. It was Yan Honglei who used a spell to make himself fall asleep and took away the Five Colors Zhao.

"Didn't anyone go out just now?" Hua Fan asked Yan Hanmu.

"No. You haven't come out for half an hour, so we took the torch and came down." Yan Hanmu said.

Hua Fan knew in her heart that a catastrophe had occurred, and the Five-Colored Edict had been taken away by smoke and red tears.

Hua Fan said: "Quickly go find... to seal all the roads in the east of the city!" Then he thought about it, such a mobilization of troops would definitely alarm Shangguan Jinnian. "Come back!" Zhu Ge, who had already taken the order, was caught by her again.

shouted back.

Even if you don't consider Shangguan Jinnian's problem, blocking roads and sealing the city is not a good choice, because what Yan Honglei is best at is escaping? When Shangguan Jinnian sealed Chang'an City like an iron barrel, why not let Yan Honglei

Tearbar took Tang Mingzhen and ran away. He couldn't catch a living person with him, let alone only a light and delicate edict?

Yan Hanmu had already guessed most of it from Hua Fan's words. A strange color flashed across her face. She thought for a while and said to Zhu Ge, "Zhu Ge, if you go back and return to life now, just say that the princess did not open the secret passage."

.”

"The princess went to the lantern market in Luoyang for a stroll, and she probably won't be able to come back until later in the day. The princess said she didn't want anyone to follow her, so you guys came back," Hua Fan added.

No matter what, let's hide it from Shangguan Jinnian first and think of a countermeasure. Yan Hanmu is Zhu Ge's immediate superior. Zhu Ge hesitated for a moment, but agreed and left with the secret guard.

Both of them knew in their hearts that they could only hide it for a while. This was just a temporary measure and Shangguan Jinnian would have to know sooner or later.

As soon as Zhuge led the people away, there was darkness in the secret passage again, and both of them felt heavy. "It was my negligence," Hua Fan said first.

"Now that things have come to this, what's the use of saying all this?" Yan Hanmu said.

"I only want to ask you one thing. If this matter is clarified, it might not lead to a big disaster." Hua Fan said.

"What's the matter?"

"Why did your brother work so wholeheartedly for Shangguan Chiying?" Hua Fan expressed the question that had been in her mind for a long time.

Yan Hanmu suddenly fell silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really want to listen? I'm afraid it will be a long story."

Hua Fan frowned and guessed: "Does Shangguan Chiying hold his handle?"

Yan Hanmu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Is it because of your mother?" Hua Fan guessed that Shangguan Chiying probably regarded Yan Honglei's mother as a threat.

Yan Hanmu paused and said, "Mother? That's true, but she's his mother, not mine. His mother has nothing to do with me."

Hua Fan remembered that Yan Honglei had indeed said that he and Yan Hanmu were half-brothers and sisters.

"Did Shangguan Chiying take his mother as a hostage?" Hua Fan asked.

"Huh, so be it." Yan Hanmu sneered. The laughter seemed very cold in the dark secret passage.

"If that's the case, it's not too late if we rescue his mother from Shangguan Chiying." Hua Fan seemed to see hope.

"You can't save me." Yan Honglei looked into Hua Fan's eyes in the darkness and said word by word.

"Why?" Hua Fan was puzzled.
