In a small forest near Youmen county.

Xiao Xi is squatting in the Bush and looking out.

She saw a lot of people standing above the wall in the distance, men, women, old and young,

Because she was too far away, she could not see the expressions of the people, but she could guess without thinking that the people must be very frightened and desperate at this time.

The rebels threatened the imperial army with their lives to stop the attack.

The imperial army had to suspend the siege because of the situation.

The scene was deadlocked.

Xiao Xixi knew very well that immortal Tianyan's move was tantamount to forcing the emperor into a dilemma. No matter how he chose, he would be criticized in the end.

Even if the rebellion is finally put down, the emperor's reputation will be stained.

Immortal Tianyan, you can't die. You'll be disgusted.

Especially shameless!

Xiao Xi looked back at Yu Jiu and asked in a low voice.

"Haven't you finished yet?"

Yu Jiu was digging hard. He looked up at her and was angry.

"Can't you come and help?"

Xiao Xi sighed faintly: "I'm just a weak girl. I can't resist my shoulders and lift my hands. I can't do such heavy work."

Yu Jiu was so disgusted that he simply ignored her and continued digging.

When he was almost a foot deep, the shovel finally hit something hard.

He immediately threw away his shovel, brushed away the layer of soil on the surface with his palm, and groped back and forth with his fingers.

Soon he felt a metal ring.

He pulled hard up.

A heavy little brass door was opened.

Exposed a dark underground entrance.

Xiao Xi came up: "this is the tunnel leading to Youmen county?"

Yu Jiu casually pulled a few leaves, wiped off the soil on his hands, and answered casually.

"Yes.

From the day when immortal Tianyan decided to start fighting in Youmen County, he had several secret roads dug up in the city.

This is just one of them.

I only know where the entrance and exit of this tunnel is.

Only immortal Tianyan knows the rest. "

Xiao Xixi: "what is he doing digging so many secret roads?"

Yu Jiu pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing an arc full of sarcasm.

"Naturally, it is in order that he can escape smoothly after the failure of starting the army."

Xiao Xi smacked his tongue: "Gee, he's so afraid of death. Since he's afraid of death, why do you rebel? Isn't it good to be a Taoist?"

Yu Jiu: "you have to ask him."

He jumped into the tunnel, picked up the torch hanging on the wall and lit it with the torch he carried with him.

The fire lit up a small area.

Xiao Xi looked carefully and found that the tunnel was deeper than she expected.

Yu Jiu raised his head and stretched out his hand to her.

"Come down."

If the acupoints are not sealed, this height is nothing to Xiao Xi. She can jump directly.

However, she can't use her martial arts now. If she jumps from such a high place, she may twist her feet.

Yu Jiu reached out to pick her up just because he expected this.

But Xiao Xi didn't look at his hand.

She sat down directly on the ground, then turned around, put her hands on the ground, bent one leg and stretched the other leg into the tunnel, carefully looking for a place to stay.

When she found a foothold, she put her other leg in.

She moved down a little bit, not only extremely slow, but also clumsy.

Yu Jiu saw that she would rather climb down by herself than touch his stretched hand. His mood immediately became extremely bad.

He sneered impolitely.

"Do you know what you look like now? Like an old turtle about to die."

Xiao Xi ignored him.

When one foot touched the flat ground, she immediately dropped the other foot.

Take a long breath.

Finally landed!

Xiao Xi patted the dust on his hands and clothes and said to Yu Jiu.

"Let's go."

Yu Jiu was very unhappy now. He sneered on his face: "you go ahead."

The passage ahead was dark and could not see anything.

Most people will feel frightened when they come to such a place for the first time.

Yu Jiu let Xiao Xi go ahead, knowing that he was making trouble for her.

But Xiao Xi didn't mean to be afraid at all.

She lifted her feet and walked on.

Yu Jiu followed her with a torch.

His eyes kept following her back, dark and deep, like an invisible monster.

Yu Jiu asked coldly.

"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you?"

Xiao Xi didn't stop. He said casually, "Oh, how much are you going to sell me?"

Yu Jiu: "I'm not short of money."

Xiao Xixi: "I see."

Her tone was sour and full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Yu Jiu: "but I have a grudge against the emperor. I may take the opportunity to kill you for revenge."

Xiao Xixi: "then you still have a grudge against me. I may also take the opportunity to kill you."

Yu Jiu fell into silence.

Indeed, from the moment he met Xiao Xi, he was full of conspiracy and calculation.

If it weren't for the fact that they had the same enemy, they might still be enemies of each other.

It was during this time that he got along so harmoniously that he almost forgot his old grudges with her.

Yu Jiu: "if we can all retreat this time, can our previous hatred be written off?"

His words were very light, but it was too quiet in the tunnel and was heard by Xiao Xi walking in front.

Her footsteps gave a slight pause, as if she wanted to look back.

But in the end, I don't know why, she didn't look back, but continued to move forward.

"Yes."

The simple two words immediately dissipated all the unhappiness in Yu Jiu's heart.

His mood suddenly improved again.

He quickened his pace a little to get closer to Xiao Xi.

Yu Jiu asked excitedly, "if I go back to the western regions in the future, do you want to go with me?"

Xiao Xi gave him three words without looking back.

"You dream."

Yu Jiu: "

It doesn't have to be so direct.

Seeing the exit getting closer and closer, Xiao Xi finally stopped.

She looked back at Yu Jiu.

"I'll see immortal Tianyan later. Untie the acupoints on me."

Yu Jiu: "no, immortal Tianyan is always suspicious. He will first let someone check whether you are really blocked. If he finds that your acupoints are unobstructed, he will be suspicious of you and me."

Xiao Xi tutted: "this old guy is really a chicken thief."

Yu Jiu took out the rope wrapped around his waist.

"I have to tie you up."

Xiao Xi stretched out his hands very cooperatively: "come on."

Yu Jiu tied her wrist firmly and then pushed open the front door.

The light came in.

He put out the torch, threw it aside, and then took Xiao Xi out of the tunnel.

……

The blast is over. Good morning, everyone~
