The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her

It was late at night, and the imperial palace in Dali was shrouded in darkness. At this moment, the Eight Palaces, Nine Courts and Seventy-two Halls were lit with lanterns. Looking from a height, these lanterns shone brightly like stars in the sky.

Lin Ruoxi, Situ Zhan and Mo Xueyuan put on black robes and were waiting for the night to find the palace where Tuoba Duo is currently living in from the barren palace.

Situ Zhan looked at the starry sky and suddenly sighed.

Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly, and asked, "Fourth brother, since when did you become a sentimental person?"

"Well, I really want to know, but even now I don't even know when to start feeling sentimental. Ruoxi, you said that if this time, your fourth brother stayed in the Dali Kingdom and couldn't return to the Southern Border Kingdom, you Will you feel sad for me?" [

Situ Zhan said with a playful smile, and blinked at Lin Ruoxi with a pair of agate-like black eyes. It looked like he was joking, but Lin Ruoxi knew that he must be serious when he said these words.

She stretched out her hand, took Situ Zhan's hand, and solemnly said to Situ Zhan: "Fourth brother, you have been saying such unlucky words since you came to the Dali Kingdom. Ruoxi really doesn't want to hear it. Ruoxi I also promise you that no matter how dangerous it is, I will never leave my fourth brother alone. Since we came from the Southern Border Kingdom together, we must go back to the Southern Border Kingdom together. Take the fourth brother away, and I will go against the sky and bring the fourth brother back to the Southern Borderland safely."

Lin Ruoxi's fingertips were slightly cold, and every word she said was firmer, like an oath to the sky, which should not be underestimated or blasphemed.

Situ Zhan still had a smiling face, but the smiling face became gentler. He stretched out his other big hand, rubbed Lin Ruoxi's hands and said, "Okay, fourth brother was joking with you! Brother said that he wanted to protect his little sister and go back to Nanjiang country safely. Why is it that the fourth brother wants the little sister to protect him now? Fourth brother promises you, we must all return to Pingyang Hou Mansion safely, and we will not let mother and old man People are worried...your hands are so cold, it's so strange that so many people care about you, but your hands are still so cold."

Lin Ruoxi saw Situ Zhan rubbing his hands with a playful smile, the cold hands gradually warmed up, and she felt that even her cold heart warmed up.

She looked at Situ Zhan and smiled softly: "Fourth Brother, thank you for always being by my side!"

"Silly girl, I'm your fourth brother. If I don't accompany my little sister to protect you, who can protect you?"

Situ Zhan felt that Lin Ruoxi's hand was also warm, so he let go of his big hand, looked at Lin Ruoxi tenderly and said, "It's done!"

Lin Ruoxi smiled softly. From Situ Zhan's face, she seemed to see the warmth of home reborn as a mountain.

Mo Xueyuan stood aside, it seemed that Situ Zhan had a brother-sister love for Lin Ruoxi, but she always felt that something was wrong, especially when Situ Zhan looked at Lin Ruoxi with tender eyes, there was always a kind of warmth and warmth like a lover, She suddenly thought of a person—Lin Jingxuan, yes, Lin Jingxuan looked at Lin Ruoxi, and her master's eyes were the same. Could it be that he also likes her master?

The deep cage is deep.Mo Xueyuan hurriedly shook her head, shaking the bad thoughts from her mind, she should stop thinking about it now, the most important thing is how to help the master and find out the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager Xiao Shufei.

At midnight, Lin Ruoxi, Situ Zhan and Mo Xueyuan were ready to act.

Lin Ruoxi took out a piece of kraft paper from her bosom, spread the kraft paper on the ground, and said, "This is the secret passage dug from this desolate palace by the people I placed in the Dali Palace for five years. This secret passage is 200 meters long. Long, it leads directly to the palace where Tuobaduo lives now. Of course, this secret passage does not rule out a dangerous thing, that is, Tuobaduo has already known about the excavation of this secret passage, and is waiting for us to set it up for him. Drilling into the trap, so we must be vigilant at all times, we must pay attention to our feet and the things we are facing, if there is danger, we must withdraw in time, and never get entangled with those people, fourth brother, Xueyuan, listen up Yet?"

Situ Zhan and Mo Xueyuan nodded.

The three stretched out their right hands and clasped together, shouting, "Action!"

The three of Lin Ruoxi and the others came to the ancient well under a dead tree, and removed the stone cover on the ancient well, then Situ Zhan jumped down the well first, followed by Mo Xueyuan, and finally Lin Ruoxi.

The well the three people jumped into was an empty well. When they got to the bottom of the well, Lin Ruoxi and the three of them took out the torches from their pockets and lit the torches hanging on the stone wall. Each of them held a torch in their hands and walked along the well The cave at the bottom bent over and walked over.

Situ Zhan stretched out his hand, covered his mouth, and suddenly laughed. In such a tense atmosphere, is he in the mood to laugh?

Lin Ruoxi said naively: "Fourth brother, when is it, are you in the mood to laugh?"

Situ Zhan said with a smile: "Why do I feel that the three of us are like mice, drilling a mouse hole."

Mo Xueyuan sighed: "Fourth Young Master, have you ever seen a mouse laugh before taking action? They are not silent, afraid of being discovered?"

Situ Zhan shook his head: "Those are cowardly mice. The three of us are more courageous than the sky. How could we be such a cowardly mouse?" 17357815

"Okay, fourth brother, stop making trouble. This secret road is still very long. We don't know what we will encounter ahead. Let's be quiet!" Lin Ruoxi sighed lightly, and Situ Zhan stopped laughing.

The three of them walked for about three quarters of an hour before they reached the end of the secret passage. Situ Zhan raised the torch and illuminated the exit of the secret passage. It was a stone cover with the word 'out' written in red characters. I stretched out my hand lightly, but it was very heavy, and I couldn't open it easily.

He looked back, pointed to the manhole cover of the secret passage, and spread his palms, indicating that the secret passage door was heavy and not easy to open.

Lin Ruoxi and Mo Xueyuan understood what Situ Zhan meant, and Lin Ruoxi only said two words 'organ'.

Is it a secret organ?

Mo Xueyuan and Situ Zhan were busy looking for such a mechanism on the wall of the cave, and saw an oil lamp on the wall of the cave, Situ Zhan, Mo Xueyuan and Lin Ruoxi all looked at the lamp, feeling that this lamp must be There is a mystery.

Just as Situ Zhan was about to rotate the lamp, he was stopped by Lin Ruoxi. Lin Ruoxi carefully observed the lamp, and found that this lamp was not an ordinary lamp, but rather a mechanism to activate a hidden weapon.

Lin Ruoxi had to give up this lamp, and looked around, and saw a red character on the wall of the cave, about the size of a thumb, "Xuan". He tapped the wall painted with Xuan characters lightly, and the sound of 'empty, empty' came out from inside.

This time, she can conclude that there must be a mystery on the wall, which is the mechanism that opens the door of the secret path.

She stretched out three fingers, like the code word they agreed before, 'three, two, one', Lin Ruoxi moved the wall, the secret door above her head suddenly opened, and three people jumped out from the secret door one by one.

Their movements were light, like butterflies flying and landing on the marble floor of the hall.

Lin Ruoxi squinted her black eyes, and observed the hall in the dim light.

Sure enough, as the spy said, when Tuoba Duo was resting on the dragon couch, he didn't like being disturbed by people, or he was afraid of being murdered by the people around him, so he kept these people out of the hall. , quietly, as if no one was in the tent.

Mo Xueyuan was afraid that there was some deceit, so she took the lead in walking in front of Lin Ruoxi, tiptoed to the side of the tent, raised a corner of the tent, and saw that the person lying down inside was the new emperor Tuoba Duo of Dali.

She looked back and nodded to Lin Ruoxi, she was sure that the person lying on the bed was Tuoba Duo, Lin Ruoxi walked quickly at this moment, raised the curtain of the bed, quickly took out the dagger at her waist, and placed it on Tuoba Duo's neck above.

Curving the corners of her lips, she said coldly, "Your Majesty, long time no see!"

Tuoba Duo didn't feel panic or surprise, opened his eyes, and saw a pair of deep black eyes staring at him, he said lightly: "Lin Ruoxi, you are so brave, you dare to threaten me with a sword? Can you Knowing how many imperial guards are guarding my palace outside, do you think that I will be afraid of you, and you can escape from this hall alive?"

"Don't tell me these things. Since we dare to come, we have no reason to be afraid of death. Tuoba Duo, let me ask you, where is Empress Dowager Xiao Shu?"

Tuoba Duo said lightly: "I don't know!"

When Lin Ruoxi used the dagger in his hand, a blood-red gash appeared on Tuobaduo Baixi's neck, but he didn't even frown, and still had a stubborn expression.

"Don't you want to say it yet? If you don't say it, I really want my subordinates to be merciless."

Tuobaduo laughed suddenly and said, "Okay, then kill me if you have the guts, trampling people!" He suddenly shot out white powder from his palm and sprinkled it on Lin Ruoxi's face, Lin Ruoxi was caught off guard by the white powder. The powder got into her eyes, and her vision was suddenly blurred, but she did not forget to call out: "There is a fraud in it, you guys go!"

The dagger in Lin Ruoxi's hand pierced Tuoba Duo's forehead, but after sprinkled with powder, Lin Ruoxi became limp and fell on the bed.

Mo Xueyuan and Situ Zhan looked at each other. According to the previous agreement, they got up quickly, jumped into the secret passage, and closed the door of the secret passage.

At this moment, the palace suddenly shone brightly, and Tuoba Duo, who was dressed in bright yellow, led more than a hundred imperial guards into the hall, and surrounded Lin Ruoxi.

Tuoba Duo raised the corners of his lips, and said coldly: "Lin Ruoxi, I didn't expect you to be so cruel that you even wanted to kill me?"

Lin Ruoxi took a look at the person who died under her knife, and knew that this person was obviously changed, not the real Tuoba Duo, but a person who can have such a wonderful disguise technique is definitely not an ordinary person.

She sneered: "Tuobaduo, you are really smart! But there are so many people who hate you, you won't live long." 1pyl.

Tuoba Duo waved his hands, and said with a smile: "Lin Ruoxi, you are wrong, there are many people who hate you, the reason why this disguise technique is so good is because of your enemies, isn't it? Chen Rong?"

Lin Ruoxi's heart jumped suddenly, Chen Rong?The only surviving member of the Chen family, he actually... actually returned to Dali to find her for revenge!
