In the middle of the night, Xiao Qingheng, who was being hunted by the emperor and Zhao Yiming's secret guards, finally got rid of the pursuers and took the rest of the people into a pharmacy that had been closed for a long time.
He quickly found an inconspicuous dry well in a corner of the backyard, opened the weeds covering it, and jumped straight in.
The last person who stayed carefully tidied up the surface of the well, smoothed out the traces, and then quickly jumped in.
Jingyu and others, who were a step slower, searched the entire pharmacy but couldn't find anyone.
"Damn it, he got away again." Deng Xue, who was still wearing a red wedding dress, spoke angrily.
Zhao Yiming anticipated that Xiao Qingheng would take action today, so he arranged for Deng Xue to dress up as Tian An and get into the sedan chair in advance.
When they arrived at the alley, Tian An got out of the sedan chair without anyone noticing, and then, escorted by maids and secret guards, walked through another road, got back into the real wedding sedan chair, and waited for Zhao Yiming and the others in the alley.
Xiao Qingheng thought his plan was foolproof, but in the end he robbed Deng Xue. When he saw Deng Xue's face clearly, he knew he had fallen into a trap and was almost stabbed by the soft sword Deng Xue had on her waist.
The next second, Zhao Yiming's secret guards arrived. Even if he reacted quickly, he had to sacrifice two of his men before he could escape.
Jingyu was not discouraged and asked his men to search the shop again, but unfortunately they found nothing in the end.
"Chiwei, have you found anything?" Jingyu said to Chiwei as he carefully looked at the messy yard which had obviously been uninhabited for a long time.
Chi Wei has the strongest reconnaissance ability among them and is also proficient in various mechanisms. If he can't find it, then there is really no hope.
Fortunately, after Chi Wei carefully looked around the backyard, he came to the foot of the wall thoughtfully, stared intently at the pile of weeds in front of him that was obviously much taller than other places, and suddenly began to reach out and dig them up.
Seeing this, Jingyu and others hurriedly asked people to come forward to help. Soon, a black dry well appeared in front of everyone.
"You guys stand back, I'll go down and take a look first." After saying that, Jingyu jumped into the dry well first.
After a while, a voice came from below, "Chiwei, there is something unusual here, come down and take a look."
After Chi Wei went down, Deng Xue followed without saying a word.
There was not much space under the dry well. By the time Jingyu reacted, it was too late to stop it. She could only reach out to catch it subconsciously. She jumped directly into Jingyu's arms.
Afraid that someone behind would come down again, Jingyu quickly warned them before frowning and looking at the person in his arms, "Why are you following me down here?"
Deng Xue knew that she had done something wrong this time, and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I thought it was very wide down there."
Before Jingyu could say anything, they heard Chiwei say, "Boss, move aside so I can take a look here."
Before the two could react, Chi Wei bent down and pushed Jingyu forward with his butt. Deng Xue, who was still being held by Jingyu, was instantly pushed against the wall of the well.
After a muffled groan, Jingyu's soft lips kissed the corner of her lips directly.
Feeling the warmth and softness beside her lips, Deng Xue's pupils dilated.
"What's wrong?" Chi Yong, who was about to stand up and check behind him after hearing the sound, was immediately stopped by Jing Yu's quick eyes and hands. "Nothing, do your thing."
After dealing with Chi Yong, Jing Yu raised his head and suddenly felt a little difficult to face Deng Xue.
Fortunately, good news came from Chi Yong soon.
"Boss, we found them! I was wondering if they could just fly away with wings. Turns out they're just digging holes and escaping underground like mice!"
It turned out that there was a small square invisible door installed on the wall of the dry well. The outside was treated the same as other parts of the well wall, and it was indeed difficult for ordinary people to find any clues.
If Xiao Qingheng and the others had not opened this door tonight and left traces, even Chi Wei would have been fooled.
Chi Wei went in first. Jing Yu greeted the people above, made some arrangements, and then went into the secret door.
Seeing this, Deng Xue tore off the cumbersome wedding robe and followed her in.
When you first enter the tunnel, it can only accommodate one person crawling in. But after crawling for a while, ladders begin to appear in front. After going down the ladder, the space becomes larger and larger until it can accommodate two people walking side by side.
After making sure that there was no one around, Jingyu took out a night pearl from his arms, which instantly illuminated the tunnel. With the light of the night pearl, the three of them continued to move forward.
Seeing that Deng Xue was not wearing an outer coat, Jingyu gave the night pearl to Chi Wei, then took off his own clothes and put them on Deng Xue.
Business was the most important thing at the moment, and Deng Xue didn't want to argue with him any further. After refusing twice without success, she had no choice but to accept his kindness.
The three of them tried to slow down their pace and walked silently along the tunnel, but they were more and more shocked as they walked. They didn't expect that someone would build such a tunnel under the capital city right under the feet of the emperor.
What they didn't expect was that there was a fork in the road ahead, which meant that this tunnel could lead to other places.
The three of them looked at each other, carefully chose a direction and walked forward for a while, but they soon came to another fork in the road.
When they came to the fourth fork in the road, the three of them immediately stopped and dared not take another step forward.
Jingyu immediately ordered to return the same way. Judging from the current situation, the tunnel was probably still very long. If they went forward, they would probably get lost in it and unable to get out.
Moreover, this matter must be reported to the emperor, and the previous plan must be adjusted. They withdraw in time to avoid alerting the enemy and ruining the masters' subsequent plans.
This time Jingyu gave the night pearl to Deng Xue and asked her to lead the way, while he and Chi Yong carefully dealt with the traces they left behind.
After climbing out of the narrow tunnel again, Chi Yong carefully restored the secret door to its original state and asked the people above to pull Jingyu and Deng Xue up first.
I finally cleaned up the traces they left behind before following them out of the dry well.
In the desolate backyard, the secret guards saw Deng Xue wearing Jingyu's outer robe, while Jingyu was holding Deng Xue's bright red wedding dress. They all looked around the two of them with ambiguous expressions, and when they saw the two of them looking at them, they all looked away, some looking at the sky and some looking at the ground.
Jingyu coughed twice awkwardly as a warning before walking up to Deng Xue and returning her coat to her. Deng Xue then realized that she was still wearing this man's clothes. Thinking of the strange looks from the other secret guards just now, her face suddenly flushed.
But now she couldn't change her clothes on the spot in public, so she could only continue to shamelessly wear Jingyu's outer robe.
After Chi Wei got out of the dry well, he carefully restored the well mouth to its original position before he finished.
Jingyu selected three cautious secret guards to hide in the dark and guard this place. After specifically instructing them not to alert the enemy, he took the rest of the people back to report.
