Chapter 128: Underwater Kiss
Tuoba Ye heard her voice and captured her, it must be for that thing.
Su Shengsheng cooperated with Xie Xuan to retreat while lying, "If you let me and the prince go, I can give it to you."
"So, that thing is indeed in your hands?" Tuoba Ye raised his hand and signaled his men to pause the attack.
Su Shengsheng thought to herself: As expected.
He could have run away, but he stayed because of what she had in her hand.
Otherwise, why would he risk being exposed and activate the mechanism to let her down just because he heard her voice?
Su Shengsheng smiled obediently, "If you have pen and ink, I'd like to write it down."
Tuoba Ye smiled coldly, "Just come here, and I won't take your life."
"I don't know whether he'll be killed or not." Su Shengsheng snorted, "Or else, I'll go with you if you release the prince."
As long as he has his plans, her life will be safe.
When General Xie catches up, he will save her from danger.
"That's not necessary." Tuoba Ye glanced at Xie Xuan, who was silent and had a stern expression. "Since you are so afraid of death, I can take you all away..."
So what if you’re afraid of death?
If he is not afraid of death, then let him die?
Su Shengsheng was secretly complaining, but she still kept a beautiful smile on her face. "I'm afraid of both death and being threatened. If I live under threats every day, it would be better to die. Your Highness Tuoba, why not give it a try?"
The implication is that either you take her alone, or don't even think about taking her away.
The other side has many people and is powerful. Although the people above cannot come down, they are probably looking for an exit.
Tuoba Ye sneered, "Although you are useful, how can you compare to capturing the invincible Qilin Army commander alive?"
Xie Xuan pursed his lips tightly and said in a cold voice, "I think you are the one who is tired of living!"
After saying that, he pushed Su Shengsheng towards the stone table, then turned around and flew up, heading straight for Tuoba Ye's head.
He had once shot off the heads of enemy soldiers amidst a huge army, so why would he be afraid of just a few people?
He just pretended to be defeated and sent Su Shengsheng to a safe place.
At this moment, he had no worries. The chain in his hand that was cut by Qingshi instantly knocked away several people holding bows and crossbows.
Su Shengsheng hid behind the stone table and watched in amazement.
She was afraid that some fish would slip through the net and use her as a shield, so she saw a pool of water nearby and poured ink into it.
Xie Xuan was extremely brave and the assassins standing in front of Tuoba Ye were completely vulnerable.
Seeing that the situation was not good and the other party came to catch her, Su Shengsheng jumped into the pool of ink without hesitation.
The area of water was quite wide, so even if they shot at her from above, she still had a chance of survival.
Seeing Xie Xuan distracted, Tuoba Ye smiled faintly, "No wonder we are able to welcome the Xuanming King this time! I was worried that the Xuanming King would not condescend to be a guest of Baishang Kingdom. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."
As he spoke, he cocked the crossbow, blocking Xie Xuan's attack and leading his men back toward the cave wall. "Leave them alive."
Xie Xuan dodged several powerful crossbows, picked up a crossbow at his feet, and sent it into the gap in the door that was about to close.
The shot had extremely strong penetrating power and instantly passed through the bodies of the two assassins in front of Tuoba Ye and went straight into his heart.
But unexpectedly, the door wall was also made of a thousand-jin bluestone, and Xie Xuan could not find the mechanism to open it.
After a few breaths, the ground suddenly shook and there was a creaking sound from the huge rocks above, as if they were loose and were about to collapse.
Xie Xuan knew something was wrong, fearing that the self-destruct mechanism had been activated, so he quickly flew back.
"Su Shengsheng!" he called anxiously.
Su Shengsheng quickly emerged from the surging water. Seeing that the situation was indeed critical, he hurriedly said, "General, this is running water, there is an outlet."
She had just been forced underwater and saw the ink gathering in one place, so she swam over to investigate.
Fortunately, she found a narrow crack that seemed to have been washed out by water.
With Xie Xuan's stature, he should be able to barely pass through.
"I can't swim..."
At this time, the iron chain tied to the boulder above his head kept breaking, and the boulder was about to fall down.
The situation was critical, and Su Shengsheng had no time to say anything. She grabbed Xie Xuan and dived into the water, saying urgently, "Hold your breath!"
At the moment Xie Xuan entered the water, countless pieces of rubble from above fell like a slow slicing of flesh and crashed into the water.
With the help of underwater buoyancy, Su Shengsheng pulled Xie Xuan and cleverly avoided several falling rocks.
However, Xie Xuan's face showed pain and his body was stiff. When he was about to pass through the narrow passage, Su Shengsheng resolutely leaned towards him.
There seemed to be ice chips under the cold water, which hit the body densely and stung the body like steel needles.
His lips were so cold that they had no temperature at all. Su Shengsheng gently pressed them against his, breathing a sigh of relief for him.
The ink had been carried away by the water, and in the slightly clear water, Xie Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, a colorful rainbow seemed to appear behind her, bringing a hint of beauty and hope, and dispelling the haze in his heart.
After giving Xie Xuan energy, Su Shengsheng pushed him into the passage with force.
Above, the bluestone had fallen heavily, as if to bury everything.
At the last moment, Su Shengsheng also successfully entered the passage.
Behind him, flying stones scattered everywhere, and the huge rocks fell together, shaking the earth and sky.
However, the water in the passage was unusually quiet.
In the long and dim passage, Su Shengsheng quickly led Xie Xuan to a high ground.
They emerged from the water and found a small breathing space in the gap between the earth wall above their heads and the icy water.
In the suffocating darkness, Su Shengsheng silently spat out a mouthful of ice water and coughed a few times, "Sure enough, beautiful things are poisonous!"
Just now, something urgent happened and she kissed him forcefully, so it was inevitable that she felt a little embarrassed at the moment.
Fortunately, it was pitch dark here and we couldn’t see each other’s embarrassment.
In the cold icy water, Xie Xuan's slightly puzzled voice came: "He... is beautiful?"
Su Shengsheng hummed, then shook her head and whispered, "He's as beautiful as a red spider lily, too mysterious."
After she finished speaking, she heard the noise over there had stopped, and immediately said, "Thank you, General. I'll go take a look."
Then she dived into the water again and swam back quickly.
After a while, Xie Xuan heard Su Shengsheng's disappointed voice: "It's blocked over there..."
Duck egg, if she had known earlier, she should have scolded Tuoba Ye a few more times.
"Then... shall we continue walking inside and take a look?"
The entrance was blocked, so they could only look for an exit.
However, the situation ahead is unknown, and Xie Xuan can't swim...
"Can you?" Su Shengsheng asked awkwardly.
Unexpectedly, he was a complete landlubber.
She couldn't always be there for him, could she?
Xie Xuan looked in the direction of Su Shengsheng. Although he couldn't see her, he still curled his lips slightly: "I should be able to do it."
It’s no use staying here all the time. I don’t know when the people above will be able to dig here.
There is no other way for them now, so they can only do this.
Su Shengsheng found Xie Xuan's hand in the darkness and pulled him forward to swim: "People float on the water. As long as they don't move around, they won't sink."
As she paddled forward, she patiently told him the key points of swimming.
When the cave wall lowered and they couldn't breathe, the two men dived into the water again.
After swimming for an unknown amount of time, the two finally saw the sunlight from the entrance of the water.
However, before Su Shengsheng could rejoice at finally escaping, she was deeply shocked by the scene before her.
"No wonder the water is so cold!"
At the entrance of the water flow, there is an endless glacier.
The two finally understood why Tuoba Ye chose the courtyard in the mountains behind the border.
Presumably, the tunnel that leads in all directions is the way to the outside of the Great Wall.
They followed the seeping glacial water and entered the glacial river that connected to the outside of the pass.
This glacial river that spans Chiyan City and the snow-capped mountains outside the Great Wall is devoid of birds.
