It is not difficult to isolate these people outside the secret room.
But hiding in here all the time is obviously not a long-term solution.
Since the other party has come up with the idea of luring Qi Xu here and then taking his life, it means that this place must be hiding "dangers" that they are not aware of.
Moreover, this danger is enough to kill anyone who is here!
What kind of danger is it that gives the other party such confidence?
Wei Yunlan was paying attention to the movements outside while his mind was working rapidly.
Apart from the conventional ambush, the most likely methods are two.
Use poison, or simply destroy the tower.
If it weren't snowing heavily now, there might have been another case of arson.
These means are enough to make the other party sure to trap Qi Xu to death in this tower.
As long as she is still in this tower, the other party will be able to lure Qi Xu into a trap.
When this thought suddenly came to mind, Wei Yunlan was stunned for a moment.
It seemed that she had always felt that Qi Xu would come for her, as if everything was reasonable.
But why?
One of them was the heir chosen by the late emperor and the former crown prince, and the other was the daughter of an exiled criminal official.
At best, we have had a few cooperative relationships, and we can be considered partners and friends who work well together...
A subtle feeling of strangeness flashed through my heart.
Without bothering to capture this feeling carefully, Wei Yunlan began to gather the fog that divided the space into areas into a circle, and circled out a small half of the northeast corner of the space.
Now the distance at which she can collect things from the outside and bring them into space is at most a dozen feet. As long as Qi Xu appears within this range, she will be relatively safe.
But it would be best if she leaves this place of trouble.
In case this group of people are so crazy that they destroy the entire tower, I will be buried alive in the secret room. I don’t know if I have enough energy to clean up the ruins of the entire tower and crawl out from underground...
Obviously, the only way out of this secret room is the blocked door.
But that is only the way out for ordinary people. For her, there may be other ways!
The secret room, which had been shrunk by half, seemed small and crowded.
Wei Yunlan reached out and gently patted Heiyun, who was standing close to his calf, and said, "I'll take you out first, so I can give him a warning."
As if he understood what she said, Heiyun raised his head, and there was a hint of reluctance in his bright eyes.
"Don't worry, I can protect myself. Others may not know my abilities, but don't you know?" Wei Yunlan said meaningfully.
The person who knows space best in this world.
Apart from herself, there is the black cloud that can enter and exit the space.
With a "wooooo" sound, the black cloud lowered its head and stopped objecting.
Wei Yunlan took it back into the space, and then tried to release it from the space at the farthest distance he could.
After using the space continuously, Wei Yunlan felt a little dizzy. She took a deep breath, took out the water bag, tilted her head back and took a long drink. Then she held back the dizziness and moved to the innermost wall of the secret room.
Just now, she sent the black cloud out in this direction, diagonally upward in the distance.
…
A black figure flashed by under the torches hanging outside the tower.
He went straight to meet Qi Xu who was riding towards here.
"Dark clouds?"
Qi Xu looked down at the black dog blocking the way of the horse. Seeing that it only stopped for a moment, it turned around and ran back in the direction it came from. He immediately gave the order,
“Follow it.”
According to the original plan, they should rush in through the main gate in front of Huifeng Pavilion.
As the black cloud circled half a circle outside the tower, they saw another small door at the back.
The people in the building had already noticed the commotion here.
The woman in black who had appeared at the window earlier had now moved behind this small door.
This place is right opposite the stairs in the tower. Going up leads to the top of the tower, and going down leads to the secret room where the young lady of the Wei family is imprisoned.
The young lady of the Wei family was obviously still trapped in the secret room. King You personally brought people over, apparently wanting to rush into the tower to rescue her.
Although the situation was somewhat different from what was expected, the mechanism arranged on the top of the tower was useless, and several more lives were lost than planned, but as long as King You could enter the tower.
Complete the task and you'll be sure of success!
The woman in black glanced at the people who were lying in ambush behind the door, and then looked at the old man who was walking down the stairs above.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes revealed that he was ready to take action.
As long as King You steps into this tower.
Now is the time for them to take action!
However, at this moment, a "boom" sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
The whole tower seemed to tremble.
As a result, fine sand and dust fell from above, landing on the heads and faces of the black-clad men in the tower.
Looking for the source of the sound, I saw that the secret room, which had been tightly closed, now had a crack in the door!
The woman in black felt a jolt in her heart, wondering if the person inside had escaped.
But this secret room clearly only has this one door.
There were people watching closely the whole time, so the people inside had no chance of escaping.
"I'll go take a look." The black-clothed woman said to the old man with a serious face, "Mr. Wei, I'll leave the outside to you."
Just as the woman in black tiptoed and flew down the stairs.
Qi Xu, who was outside, had ordered his men to surround the entire tower, while he himself, with several of his most reliable guards, under the guidance of the black cloud, constantly poked the ground beneath their feet with the scabbards and sword sheaths in their hands.
The guards beside Qi Xu did not understand his actions.
But the idea of unconditional obedience to the master's orders has long been deeply engraved in their bones.
I thought it was a fairy tale.
But before he had poked it a dozen times, the scabbard of the knife and the sword suddenly sank downwards, and the originally solid ground seemed to become soft all of a sudden.
Suddenly, the ground collapsed into a deep pit that was almost big enough for a person to crawl out of.
The pit extends downward along the inclined slope.
There is a difference of about two people's height between the bottom of the pit and the ground.
Wei Yunlan's figure appeared below.
Qi Xu felt relieved, but then he saw Wei Yunlan's face was pale and his body was staggering, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
The heartstrings that had just relaxed were suddenly tightened again.
Knowing that this pit was strange and could not withstand the scrutiny of others, Qi Xu jumped into the hole without hesitation.
Before Wei Yunlan fell, he hugged him.
"Miss Wei, hold on a little longer, I'll take you out."
Wei Yunlan felt dizzy and could no longer see the old man. The faint scent of pine and the familiar voice made her heart calm down a little.
He held on to his last breath and caught up with Qi Xu as he moved lightly upwards along the passage.
Move the remaining wooden box in the space and place it in the center of the originally empty secret room.
When the sound of the door being pushed open was heard, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
