Chapter 674: Unintentional
Gu Yanchen looked at the place that was still a few meters away from the initially marked place, and was a little worried whether he could appear in the room.
"It's still a little short. I'm going to go out and see what the situation is. You keep an eye on the time."
"Wait a minute, if you go out by yourself I can't bring you in, let's go out together."
This is also one of the disadvantages of the space. She has to be present on site to bring people or objects into the space.
Gu Yanchen was worried about her and the child, so he held her tightly in his arms before nodding.
"Then you should pay attention to the distance. It's dark outside, and those who are lying in ambush may not notice it, but there's no guarantee that someone raising a Gu will notice it."
"Don't worry!"
Feeling the nervousness of the people around him, Ran Qingxuan smiled and said nothing. He moved his mind slightly and directly took the people out of the space.
But the next second Ran Qingxuan realized that one of his feet was hanging in the air. Gu Yanchen was wearing night vision goggles, and just as he was about to check the situation around him, he felt Ran Qingxuan's body tilting to the side.
On the side was a deep cliff pit without any obstruction. Gu Yanchen subconsciously pulled the person into his arms, and his steps became disordered for a moment.
It was at this moment that the assassin who had been hiding nearby noticed something and instantly locked onto the source of the sound.
Those who were close arrived within a few breaths, but when they arrived, more than a dozen people looked at each other in confusion.
"Strange, did you see anything?"
The first person to arrive frowned and shook his head: "I only heard the sound, it was too dark and I didn't see anything."
"Could it be an animal?"
The leader said in a deep voice: "Inspect, don't let any place go."
The men in black held torches and looked around, but the space dug around the mountain was limited, and apart from the larger area in the side hall, there was no place to hide people.
Except for Balanch and his confidants, no one else was allowed to approach the side hall. When the leader saw his subordinates report that they didn't find anyone, he turned his attention to the side hall.
"You guys follow outside. If anyone comes out, capture him alive immediately."
"yes."
"yes!"
Hu Que was the leader of these people and also Balanch's confidant. He was very nervous when he entered the side hall, but the strange thing was that he didn't find anything after searching for two rounds.
When he came out, his men asked in confusion, "Boss, how is it?"
Hu Que shook his head with a gloomy face: "No one, maybe a mouse or something..."
A dozen people looked at each other, and then Hu Que spoke.
"Stay at your own position and be careful."
After everyone dispersed, Hu Que stood there and waited for more than ten minutes before returning to his original position to wait.
But the doubts in his heart remained, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from from time to time.
As early as when Gu Yanchen grabbed Ran Qingxuan, the two of them entered the space and waited for half an hour.
After just a few seconds, Gu Yanchen noticed that the side hall was only seven or eight meters away from them.
"This time when we go out, we should appear directly in the side hall."
Both of them saw what happened just now. Gu Yanchen said with a serious expression, “Originally, I was supposed to guard the entrance of the palace to prevent those people from rushing in if they noticed something was wrong.
But if you look for poisonous insects, I’m afraid some will take advantage of the situation and sneak in…”
Ran Qingxuan took his large hand and placed it on his waist to comfort him.
"You have to guard it, because I don't want to look for the Gu King in such a dangerous place."
Gu Yanchen looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Ran Qingxuan smiled brightly and took him directly out of the space. The two of them appeared right in the middle of the side hall.
Gu Yanchen didn't dare to make any noise. When he was about to signal her with his eyes what to do, he saw Ran Qingxuan waving his hand, and everything he could see around him disappeared.
In less than a minute, there was not even a stool left in the entire side hall.
Ran Qingxuan was afraid of missing something, so she walked around the wall of the side hall quietly. After Gu Yanchen saw what she meant, he also carefully tried to see if there was any secret compartment under his feet.
She collected everything hanging on the wall into the space. She did find two secret compartments, but they only contained some insect-making tools and a large amount of silver bills.
Ran Qingxuan took a casual glance and put them all into the space. Gu Yanchen also found a secret compartment on the ground, which was full of bottles and jars, and she also put them in.
"It's done, let's go."
The two entered the space and headed straight for the palace outside the dungeon entrance according to the distance difference.
But what they didn't know was that at the moment when the bottles and jars in the secret compartment in the underground were put into the space, Balanch, who was far away in the Imperial Master's Mansion listening to the report from his confidant, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The ruby inlaid on the right eye patch cracked without warning, and a dark red worm as thin as a hair was moving restlessly inside.
He stood up suddenly, and his luxurious black robe swept over the glass cup on the table, and the bright red grape wine spilled on the white jade floor tiles, as glaring as a pool of blood.
"Master Imperial Master, what happened to you?" The confidant looked at Balanch, who was always calm and elegant, in surprise and suddenly lost his composure, and was suddenly at a loss.
Balanch did not respond, but pressed his right eye tightly with his finger painted with bright red nail polish.
The Jade Face Gu that had been with her for decades instantly lost contact with her main body. This had never happened before...
The Jade Face Gu, which had taken decades to cultivate meticulously, and held the secret of her eternal youth, was now being taken away!
Moreover, she could feel that the little things that were originally connected to her by blood were no longer able to feel anything in just a few breaths.
"Get out..." His voice was horribly hoarse. Without waiting for his confidants to react, Balanch rushed out of the room like a gust of black wind, leaving the confidants in shock...
On the corridor of the imperial palace, the guards only saw a dark shadow passing by. It was the first time for them to see the Imperial Master running in such an unruly manner.
The gorgeous hair bun was disheveled, and the black veil covering her face was blown down by the strong wind, revealing the breathtakingly beautiful face.
But at this moment, I am twisted by anger and can't look straight...
"Dungeon...side hall...my poisonous insect..."
Balanch screamed wildly in her heart and walked barefoot on the cold stone slabs. With every step she took, she felt the poisonous insects under her skin become soft as if they had lost their strength.
The poisonous insects that maintained the elasticity of the skin were slowly losing their vitality. When Balanch rushed to the entrance of the royal dungeon with her face covered, she staggered and could hardly stand.
He reached into his bosom and took out a small bottle of red and black liquid. As he was tremblingly preparing to open it, he saw that his hands had become as dry as chicken claws.
"No...how can I..." His tone was trembling, and his eyes looked away the moment they made contact, with a desperate emptiness in his eyes.
The bottle in his hand tilted, and half of the liquid inside poured out in a daze. Without time to deal with it, Balanch ran straight into the entrance.
Ignoring the greetings from those who were lying in ambush along the way, Balanch finally rushed to the door of the side hall.
