Kang Yanning chased the figure as he passed by, followed the corner of his clothes, and entered the secret passage.
I never thought that there was a secret passage behind the Tudigong Temple. No wonder it could pull off such a big deal and sneak in so many people.
As soon as they entered the secret passage, the man disappeared. Since Kang Yanning was introduced, he naturally wanted to see what kind of place this was.
She stood at the entrance of the secret passage and looked in. It was dark inside and seemed to be very long. There was a weak light dimly glowing in the darkness.
Kang Yanning raised her feet and walked inside. She followed the long secret passage and walked along it. She could only hear her own footsteps. She didn't see him in front of him, and he didn't see him behind him.
As we walked deeper, it became darker and darker, and it became increasingly difficult to see the road ahead. To be cautious, Kang Yanning leaned against the wall and groped forward.
Suddenly, when he heard a "rustling" sound coming from behind him, Kang Yanning paused and leaned against the wall, firmly holding the soft whip in his hand.
Unable to see her fingers in the darkness, Kang Yanning held her breath and listened to the rustling sound, which was getting closer and closer to her. She listened carefully, but could not hear what it was, only a gentle "sand...sand..."
It looks like a snake sliding and walking, and it looks a bit harsh in the dark.
Kang Yanning held the whip firmly, waiting for this pretender to come to her side.
As she listened to the object getting closer and closer to her, until it was soon parallel to herself, Kang Yanning decisively swung the whip and hit the ground in front of her with a "pop" sound.
Kang Yanning said sharply, "Who is pretending to be a ghost here?"
In the dusk, a light shone in the darkness, and a pale face reflected the light in the darkness. "It's me, Princess Yanqiu."
Yan Qiude's voice was a little trembling, and her face was pale and there was a smile on her face.
When Kang Yanning saw that it was her, she felt relieved and took back the braid in her hand, "Why are you here?"
Yanqiu was startled by the whip drawn by Kang Yanning, but now that she heard the princess asking questions, she immediately calmed down a bit.
He softened his voice and then replied, "I saw an opening suddenly opened behind the ground. They were still fighting, and no one cared about me. I...I was a little scared, so I hid in."
"Who knew it was empty inside, so I walked forward. I thought I could get out, but I didn't expect to meet the princess here."
It didn't sound like there was any problem, Kang Yanning responded.
"Go back. I don't know what the road ahead is like. It may be dangerous. It will be safer if you go back and be with them."
"No." Yanqiu suddenly refused after listening to Kang Yanning's words. Then he explained, "Princess, there are a lot of people in black inside, and I don't know where they come from. I don't know any martial arts, so I'm just a dragster hiding there.
, If the man in black finds me, I will die..."
She hid back in fear, "Princess, do you want to get out of here? Just let me come with you, I...I'm really scared."
Her voice was a little trembling, she stretched out her fingers to grab the corner of Kang Yanning's clothes, and begged in a low voice.
Kang Yanning chuckled lightly when he heard this, and did not explain whether he wanted to go out. Instead, he said softly, "In that case, then you will follow me."
Yanqiu immediately climbed up the pole, nodded, and followed closely behind her.
Kang Yanning took the oil lamp Yanqiu had taken from the temple and held it in front of the two of them. Suddenly the secret passage also lit up.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Kang Yan discovered that the secret passage was very long, and the road ahead seemed to be far away, but the person who led her down was nowhere to be seen.
There was no ear room in this secret passage, so we could only walk forward. Kang Yanning did not hesitate at all and walked straight along the secret passage. Yan Qiu stood there and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Kang Yanning had gone far, he had no choice but to follow.
The two of them stayed in the empty secret passage for a long time. Yan Qiu was a little tired and could only find something to say, "Princess, where did this secret passage come from?"
Kang Yanning replied lukewarmly, "How do I know?"
"Then these assassins today...are they here for you?"
Kang Yanning glanced at her casually, "Maybe, after all, I have many enemies."
"So you know..." Yanqiu murmured.
Kang Yanning raised her eyebrows, "Oh?"
He still had to rely on this woman to get out. Yan Qiu immediately smiled flatteringly, "I saw that these people seemed to be here for the group leader, so I asked a few more questions."
Kang Yanning no longer paid attention to Yanqiu, but kept looking for the end ahead.
Suddenly, I saw a beam of light coming in from far away.
Yanqiu naturally saw it too, and she said excitedly, "Princess, there is light, is that the exit?"
Kang Yanning did not answer, but pressed the whip alertly and walked towards the light.
As we get closer and closer to the light, the road under our feet becomes clearer and brighter, and it seems that there is indeed an exit at the end of the road.
Kang Yanning was the first to get out of the light, followed by Yanqiu who also came out with her waist hunched over.
"Wow...it's really the exit." Yanqiu was excited. Seeing Kang Yanning in front of her looking around calmly, she also looked in Kang Yanning's direction.
In front of us, it seems that we are looking at the back of the mountain. There are many trees and weeds in the back, and they are still covered by winter snow, making it a vast expanse of white.
Yanqiu said, "This seems... to be the back of the mountain."
"Yeah." Kang Yanning also discovered that the mountain on this side is higher and located on the shady side, so the sun shouldn't get it, so it's still completely white.
There was not a single footprint on this vast white snow. Where had the person who led her into the secret passage gone?
Kang Yanning lowered her eyes.
Yanqiu was still overjoyed to have walked out. "Princess, we have walked out. There seems to be a path there. Let's go down the mountain quickly to fetch reinforcements."
She pointed to the left side of the stone road buried in snow, with a few stone bricks faintly visible.
Kang Yanning also discovered that this should be a road going down the mountain. He responded and walked up the rocky road.
"Princess, it seems to be snowing."
Kang Yanning raised her head when she heard this. Little snowflakes did begin to fall from the sky. "It's snowing. We can't let them stay on the mountain for too long. They have to go down as soon as possible."
With that said, Kang Yanning took the lead and walked towards the stone road.
"Princess Princess!"
Yanqiu shouted from behind Kang Yanning again.
"What's wrong?" Kang Yanning turned around impatiently.
Suddenly, she saw Yanqiu's enlarged face behind her. She was holding a knife and her face was expressionless.
Kang Yanning moved to the right without leaving a trace and raised her eyebrows, "What does this mean?"
Yanqiu was no longer as cowardly and fearful as he had shown before, but instead approached Kang Yanning.
She spoke calmly, with a little regret, "Princess, I can see that you are a good person."
Kang Yanning held the whip and slowly retreated to the right, gradually retreating to the edge of the cliff. She followed Yanqiu's words, "I am indeed a good person. I saved you. Even if you are a drag, I have not given up on you. But you are like this
for me?"
"Princess." Yanqiu said coldly, "Your abilities are extraordinary, I dare not underestimate you. You can give it a try. Can you still pick up the whip?"
Kang Yanning was stunned, and reached for the whip, but he really couldn't pull out the whip. Suddenly, Kang Yanning knelt down without any warning, as if he had no strength at all.
"You...how did you do that?" Kang Yanning's limbs were now weak, as if she had been smoked just now, but...after being smoked, she was very careful and never touched him again.
"I pulled the hem of your clothes in the secret passage and applied the smoke to the clothes that were in contact with your skin. It will happen in a quarter of an hour.
Exactly a quarter of an hour after walking out of the secret passage, the princess's mist should have broken out."
Even though Kang Yanning was sitting on her knees, feeling the smoke attack attacking her will, she pinched her waist and tried hard to stay awake.
"Whose person are you?"
Yanqiu looked at Kang Yanning condescendingly and shook her head, "I don't know."
She looked pitifully at Kang Yanning's unwillingness to fall even if she was eroded by the smoke. "I really don't know. I have no enmity with you, so I don't need to harm you."
There was a bit of sadness in her eyes, "I, the daughter of General Yan, may sound nice, but I am just a daughter of an outsider. If it weren't for my mother who came from the land of fireworks, I would be lying down and behaving like a slave in front of my lady."
No, I didn't even have a chance to get in.
My mother endured too much for me...so..."
Her eyes gradually became firmer, "My father asked me to come here. I don't know who my father has reached a cooperation with. After he asked me to come here, someone will contact me. I also received the order temporarily, and every step was
Someone instructed me.
Don't hate me, I don't know who wants your life. But as the daughter of a prince, you should have offended someone who shouldn't be offended."
Yanqiu gradually walked in with a knife in his hand, muttering, "Kingto is a man-eating devil. If you didn't come to Kyoto, you would still be the daughter of the aloof King Kang in the palm of his hand. Why would you die here?"
She looked in the direction of Kyoto, "Don't blame me... If you want to blame, just blame Kyoto for eating people..."
Kang Yanning gradually couldn't resist the addicted consciousness. She just followed her intuition and kneeled back. She tried hard to open her hazy eyes and watched Yanqiu getting closer and closer to her.
"Yes...Kyoto eats people." Kang Yanning also responded. She was running through many scenes in her mind, and the effect of the smoke made her unable to distinguish between reality and the previous life.
She saw the third prince holding her in his arms, whispering and laughing, and then she saw her father and mother being stabbed into the chest with a knife in front of her...
Kang Yanning shook her head desperately, trying to see clearly everything in front of her.
Suddenly, my chest hurts so much...
A large amount of blood appeared in front of Kang Yanning's eyes. She lowered her head in confusion, and finally woke up for a moment.
At this moment, she saw clearly the situation in front of her.
Yanqiu inserted the knife into her chest, and Kang Yanning belatedly covered the weak spot on the knife's handle.
It hurts... The pain in her chest and the confusion in her brain made her about to lose consciousness. For some reason, there was a voice in her head that kept silently saying "Back off, back off!"
That was Kang Yanning's own voice. She felt that she immediately lost consciousness. Kang Yanning followed her own voice and tried her best to stand up and retreat. She had no strength left. She didn't know what was behind her, but she kept retreating. She believed that
Own.
Kang Yanning's eyes reflected Yanqiu's panicked look, and he reached out to hold her hand.
Kang Yanning fell straight from the edge of the cliff.
