Chapter 192 Could it be that...Jiu'er is nearby? (Third update)
"Hiccup~"
After eating and drinking enough, the villain burped very ungracefully, patted his round belly, and looked satisfied.
The man in black robe looked at the finished roast chicken, a plate of braised beef, a plate of side dishes, and a large bowl of rice on the table, then looked at the villain's belly and silently took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand.
"Thank you for your hospitality, uncle. Although if it weren't for you, I could have eaten more delicious food. The food cooked by the cook at Third Brother's place is delicious..."
As he said this, the villain's tone was a little serious, and he didn't know if the third brother had taken the medicine properly.
If the fifth brother knew that she had been arrested, he would be worried again.
There are also my father, mother, and third sister...
Thinking about it, the villain's mood instantly dropped, and his eye circles instantly turned red.
"What's wrong with you?"
The man in black robe put down the chicken drumstick in his hand, his voice was quite helpless. Is such a lying crybaby really a goddess?
He expressed doubts.
If he hadn't seen the sight of the golden dragon soaring with his own eyes, the man in black robe would not have equated these two words with the villain in front of him.
Su Jiu raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing."
The man in black robe didn't pay much attention. He glanced at his greasy hands and felt that he was really crazy just now. He actually imitated this little guy and grabbed it with his hands instead of using his good chopsticks.
I took out my handkerchief and wiped it, but the greasy feeling was still there, so I got up and walked out irritably.
Su Jiu looked at his leaving figure and her eyes fell on the unlocked door.
After thinking for a while, he slowly walked towards the door.
Just now, the man in black robe went to buy something for her in person, which meant that there should be no accomplices nearby.
Su Jiu walked to the door and looked around, only to find that she was in a small courtyard. The courtyard was made of mud and looked a bit shabby. No one must have lived there for a long time.
There are walls on all sides, and the villain is not tall enough to see the outside scene at all.
Although the door of the house was unlocked, the door of the courtyard was locked. Unless someone else came to rescue her, the villain could not get out by herself.
Su Jiu was a little discouraged.
Looking at the sky, the setting sun has slowly set, reflecting very gorgeous colors on the horizon.
As night falls, darkness swallows up the sunlight bit by bit.
Su Jiu stood in the yard and suddenly sneezed, and her little body trembled unconsciously.
"It's so cold."
**
"San'er! Come and see if there are any strange sounds here?"
"It's just night, it's not dark yet, and you're already craving for love? What's the strange sound? I'm afraid you didn't make it yourself?"
"Go away, you are in love with spring. Come and take a look. There is indeed a strange sound, and it seems to be coming from underneath."
Birds flew across the sky in flocks, squeaking and flying into the dense forest.
Zhang San wrapped his coat tightly and walked to Wang Si.
After listening carefully for a while, there was no other sound except the wind blowing from the grassland, the rustling of leaves, and the occasional chirping of birds.
"What is the sound? Where is the sound coming from? Is there something wrong with your ears, Si'er? This is a hunting ground. How can there be any living people other than us except during autumn hunting?"
Zhang San grinned in the wind, "Okay, don't scare yourself. If there is someone, it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, our mission is to keep an eye on this forest, as long as it doesn't get burned.
, who cares about killing people and preventing fires.
His grandma's house is very cold every night, as if it's winter. Can you leave? I can't stand the cold anymore, so I'll go back and put on some clothes."
Wang Si glanced at the big tree in front of him and felt very strange. He had clearly heard a strange sound just now, but it disappeared after a while. Could it be that there was something wrong with his ears?
"Okay, are you leaving? If you really don't leave, I will leave. I will be eaten by the goblin then. Don't blame me for not reminding you, brother." Zhang San walked back several steps.
, didn’t hear Wang Si’s footsteps, turned around and saw Wang Si still standing motionless, and said impatiently.
'Sand, sand, sand...'
Here it comes again, there seems to be the sound of something pulling at the soil.
Wang Si stared at the soil in front of him, feeling that something strange was about to break out of the ground. He suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat behind him, "Don't, don't go, San'er! Wait for me!"
"
With that said, Wang Si was no longer curious, picked up the ax placed aside, and ran away.
Not long after Wang Si left, the soil that Wang Si was standing on suddenly loosened, and moment by moment... the soil cracked open, and sand and gravel fell into it.
The young man coughed a few times, threw the burned out torch aside, and patted the dust off his head.
The young man crawled out of the passage and glanced at the backs of the two people as they left. Since the sky was not completely dark yet, he could clearly see the surrounding scene.
I saw towering trees all around, and further away, there was an endless grassland. The wild wind blew from the cliffs in the grassland, howling and biting.
Hang Zongzhi frowned slightly, this... is actually a hunting ground?
After separating from Su Yunqing, Hang Zongzhi walked forward. All the simple torches were burned out, and there seemed to be a long road ahead.
Hang Zongzhi became more and more frightened as he walked. He didn't expect that someone had dug such a long passage under the emperor's feet in Beiyan Kingdom, and Su Yijun didn't even notice it.
However, as he walked deeper and deeper, Hang Zongzhi gradually discovered something was wrong. The surrounding soil did not look very new. It did not look like it had been dug recently, but rather it seemed like it had been dug for a long time.
It looks a bit old, and only the passage really close to the altar looks very new.
To dig such a long tunnel requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is impossible to complete it in just one or two months.
It may even take years, even decades.
Hang Zongzhi suddenly remembered the prophecy that his master had made before seclusion, that the Beiyan Kingdom might be destroyed. Now it seems that there may have been a clue.
If Jiu'er hadn't been arrested this time, they probably wouldn't have known there was such a tunnel until now.
I just don’t know where the tunnel on the eldest prince’s side leads.
Thinking about it, Hang Zongzhi lowered his eyes and slowly opened his palms, and saw that the originally weak black butterfly suddenly fluttered its wings.
