Chapter 408: Accidental Intrusion

This one sentence left sister-in-law Liu speechless.

But Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi agreed with his choice this time. The Duke's Mansion is not a place of luxury and wealth, so it is inevitable to encounter some jackals and tigers. If he just hides and does not face them now, he may be helpless in the future.

Therefore, Du Jingyi personally took the arm of his eldest sister-in-law Liu and got on the carriage first. When he left, his mind was full of Luo Yuanren. How could such a strange person suddenly appear?

The carriage left Xiumei Village and returned to the Gu Family Ancestral Hall.

After all this trouble, everyone was hungry and had no appetite to continue eating. Instead, Du Jingyi asked the cook to make a few bowls of noodles and comforted them with a smile.

"Eat as much as you can, but don't hurt your body for irrelevant people."

Obviously, she was the one who was assassinated and should be the one who was afraid, but now she is asked to comfort everyone. The eldest aunt was the first to stand up and said with heartache.

"You kid, aren't you afraid? Why worry about us? You won't starve if you skip a meal."

After saying this, Du Jingyi spoke again in a comforting tone.

"I'm fine, right? Don't worry, aunt. Eating well is the most important thing."

She wanted to eat, but she couldn't eat when she thought about what happened just now, so she asked Gu Shaoyu.

"Have you found out what the situation is?"

Gu Shaoyu shook his head, but his expression was solemn as he looked out the window.

It was impossible for Luo Yuan to allow these people to carry out assassination so arrogantly, so if this was the case, there was probably only one possibility, that Luo Yuan was ambushed.

Ni Yang was sent by him to do other things, and Luo Yuanze had been active in Qingshui Town. The last time he sent him a message was a day ago. Logically, there shouldn't be any problem.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Gu Shaoyu felt.

Luo Yuan has followed him for the longest time, for so many years. On the surface, he is his deputy general and his close follower, but in reality, is he not his brother?

If something unexpected really happened because of this incident, Gu Shaoyu didn't dare to think about what would happen next.

Du Jingyi noticed his emotions, so he came forward and whispered comfortingly.

"Deputy General Luo is a man of luck. Don't worry, General. He must be trapped by something."

Du Jingyi's words came true.

They were worried about Luo Yuan's whereabouts, while Luo Yuan, who had mistakenly entered a ditch, was trampled and led along the dark and narrow corridor into the ear chamber of an underground palace, where he was injured in the chest.

Therefore, I was in a daze and I don’t know how many hours it took me to wake up.

He had also fought on the battlefield for many years, so he had some idea of ​​the extent of his injuries. At least he had two broken ribs.

Although he wouldn't die immediately, it was still very painful to move, so after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he simply took a few pills to relieve the pain.

I originally wanted to bandage the abrasions, but when I fell into this place, I lost the bottle of hemostatic medicine I carried with me. I could only tear off my clothes to deal with them simply, and then wrapped them up hastily.

As long as there is no bleeding and his life is not in danger, it's fine.

After finishing all this, Luo Yuan let out a long sigh, opened the fire stick and looked around.

The walls are smooth and square, and you can tell at first glance that it is an atrium.

"No way, so unlucky? I could fall into the hole dug by the tomb robbers while walking?"

He was speechless and looked up at the pitch-black sky where he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He knew that it was not easy to climb up this corridor.

So he started searching, wanting to see if there were any tools or something left by the tomb robbers nearby, so that he could at least have something to grab onto so he could climb up. However, he walked around holding his chest and found nothing.

There are only two options left now. Either he waits to die here, or he goes out of the ear chamber and tries his luck. There might be a glimmer of hope, but there is also the possibility that he will die in these underground mechanisms.

After all, he is not in this line of work, so how could he know the tricks to avoid traps?

"It's better to die than to wait here!"

With a grit of his teeth and a stamp of his feet, Luo Yuan left the ear chamber after resting for a while and went deeper into the tomb along the tomb passage.

They were extremely careful along the way, but they didn't encounter any danger. Such a smooth journey did not make Luo Yuan happy, but made him more wary.

It looks like there's something scary ahead.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Therefore, his steps became slower and slower. He calculated the time in his mind and felt that after walking for about half an hour, he saw a light ahead.

bright?

There is light inside a tomb?

Thinking about it, he knew it would not be a good thing. Suddenly, he remembered some ghost stories he had heard before. He could not help but swallow his saliva. No way, could it be that he had seen a "rat marriage"? He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a while, picked up some gravel on the ground, and then moved forward to take a look.

You don’t know until you see it. Luo Yuan was scared half to death when he saw it.

It looks like an altar has been set up here, with more than ten bronze tripods of different sizes hanging in the middle, as if they were arranged according to some kind of formation, exuding a strange and bizarre aura.

The bronze tripod in the middle was painted gold, and it was obvious that it was the center of the altar. As for what was inside, Luo Yuan was not quite sure.

But for some reason, he always had a suspicion in his heart that this formation was not deliberately designed to harm their general? Thinking of this, the pain in his wounds stopped and the bleeding stopped. He seemed to have more strength and decided to stay and see. So he hid in the darkness and waited quietly.

Luo Yuan was injured and he was not proficient in formations, so he naturally would not rush forward. If he triggered some mechanism and alerted the enemy, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, I used the most direct method, which was to sit back and wait. I kept waiting here just to see if other people would come.

If there were, he could eavesdrop on some secrets and then make plans.

Due to his habit of marching for many years, he always carried medicine and dry food with him. After stumbling along the way, his medicine was gone, but the dry food was well preserved.

Although there was no water and I was inevitably choking when eating, it was better than going hungry, so I stayed there for three days and three nights.

The people outside were looking for him like crazy, especially Ni Yang who was urgently transferred back. Although they always made fun of Luo Yuan on weekdays, it was just a joke.
