With Yin Changrong as a bargaining chip, everything will go much smoother.
Ning Yujin and Qi Yue slowly retreated from the cave prison, and then asked Yin Changrong to order all his men to enter the prison, and finally placed the compass-sized lock, trapping everyone inside.
Ning Yujin put the key into her arms and smiled softly: "It's spacious and closed there, let's get warm!"
"What are you suffering from?" Qi Yue frowned slightly when he heard Ning Yujin's words, obviously not understanding them well.
Ning Yujin resumed her cold-faced policy towards him, and said angrily: "What the hell is none of your business? You really have a lot to do in one day."
Seeing that he had really offended her, Qi Yue couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose, and his eyes drifted elsewhere.
Seeing this, Yin Changrong took the opportunity and whispered to Qi Yue: "Master Qi, what do you want such a fierce woman to do? I have several peerless beauties in my hands who will definitely make Master Qi shine. If it were Qi Your Excellency is willing to show your respect..."
As he talked, Yin Changrong couldn't continue talking.
Because Qi Yue, who had always smiled and had never turned against anyone, his face suddenly turned cold, and he gently pushed forward with the dagger in his hand.
Yin Changrong wanted to scream but found that he couldn't. He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw that the fabric on his waist was quickly stained red by the blood that had soaked out, and it became completely wet in an instant.
Ning Yujin didn't notice anything unusual. Holding the torch she snatched from those people, she rushed to the front to clear the way. She even knocked here and there in a professional manner to look out for any traps.
Seeing this, Qi Yue couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled: "You can't tell anything like this."
"What do you, a scholar who studies hard, know? You should keep a close eye on Yin Changrong. Don't let him run away and expect him to get out."
Ning Yujin didn't look back, she just curled her lips to show that she couldn't deny Qi Yue's words.
Qi Yue didn't care much. His eyes fell on Yin Changrong, who was opening his mouth to speak. His face raised an elegant arc: "Don't worry, he can't run away."
"Well, as long as you can't run away." Ning Yujin nodded and continued to walk forward, muttering from time to time, "It's strange, how come Yin Changrong has become mute now, and I didn't hear him speak all the way. Why."
Qi Yue once said: "If I tell him a word like "bang" and stab him with a knife, he won't dare to hum."
"You're right. This is the way to deal with this kind of person..."
The two of them were talking while walking. Strangely, they didn't meet anyone stopping them along the way, which made them suspicious.
"Qi Yue, do you feel anything is wrong around here?"
Ning Yujin and the others had now walked out of the tunnel leading to the cave, and now they suddenly saw a large area of strange and steep peaks surrounded by clouds and mist. A large area of houses were well-proportioned and exquisite.
That's right, the houses here are actually built on high mountains.
Ning Yujin knew of several such villages. Because of the hot spring water, rich and powerful people in Shengjing City would go to great lengths to build such a place for their own entertainment and enjoyment.
This is probably the annex of Jingyang Prince's Mansion.
Judging from the lack of human smoke in the surrounding area, it is estimated that it is quite far away from Shengjing City and the town. Yin Changrong brought them here specially to torture them, which can be regarded as a good intention.
Of course, these can be ignored for the time being. What makes Ning Yujin feel uneasy right now is the layout of the houses. For some reason, it makes people feel a sense of dissonance.
Qi Yue also squinted slightly and said, "Zhuangzi was instructed by an expert when he was practicing. The layout is based on the Five Elements and Bagua Qimen Dunjia."
"So, it's a maze?" Ning Yujin was a little confused when she heard the Five Elements Bagua Qimen Dunjia. Such profound things are really not something that someone like her can understand.
No wonder I haven't met anyone along the way. It turns out that I have the support of the formation and I'm not afraid of them escaping at all!
"Qi Yue, ask Yin Changrong how to get there."
"Yes." Qi Yue brushed his hand quietly on Yin Changrong's back and asked him in a calm voice, "Do you know how to get there?"
At this time, the bleeding from the wound on Yin Changrong's lower back had stopped. However, after such a torment, he was extremely weak. When he heard the question, he could only shake his head angrily.
Qi Yue pursed his lips and smiled, and his voice became gentler: "You know what to say, right? If you lie to me, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lie to him? How dare you lie to him again!
Only now did Yin Changrong realize that Ning Yujin, the one who yelled so loudly, was so ruthless. This kind of person who hid his knife in his smile was the most troublesome and difficult to deal with!
"There was someone guiding me when I came here. That person..."
"We were put in jail together?" Ning Yujin couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she thought of this. What kind of mistake is this?
Seeing Yin Changrong nodding, Ning Yujin raised her head and looked at Qi Yue questioningly: "What should I do? Is it possible that we have to go back again?"
You said you managed to escape from it, but now you run back, what does it mean?
Furthermore, this back and forth takes too much time, and if it alarms other people, it seems like the gain outweighs the gain.
After thinking for a while, Ning Yujin still looked at Qi Yue: "Since you see that there is something wrong with the layout of this house, do you know how to get out?"
Qi Yue raised his head and glanced at the houses, and said slowly: "Those who have seen pigs running may not have eaten pork."
What this nonsense means is, it won’t work anymore.
If this end doesn't work, then she has to find another way. If it doesn't work, she can go all out and go back again.
But Qi Yue obviously had other plans. He looked around and said, "There should be something in this kind of place."
Ning Yujin was very confused: "What?"
The two of them dragged Yin Changrong along, and the three of them did not enter the maze of the house. They only walked around the perimeter, looking carefully at the edge of the cliff.
Qi Yue said as he walked: "The materials used to build this house cannot be transported up from the bottom of the mountain by manpower, so a wheel axle must be used. The axle is usually on the edge of the cliff. We can go directly to the house without passing by those houses.
Make do with the things that transport stone and wood and go down to the bottom of the mountain."
This sounds reasonable, but what if -
"They repaired the house and then demolished it?"
Qi Yue shook his head and said: "Even if the house is repaired, the things that are used daily in this village still need to be transported. There must be these things."
Qi Yue used the word "certainly" and said it with such certainty, which gave Ning Yujin some confidence, and she worked harder and harder to find it.
