The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 171 Escape
"Let's go this way."

Shen Changyan pulled Bai Zhi and walked quickly deep into the tunnel.

Bai Zhi asked puzzledly: "Why go inside?"

"There will never be only one exit." Shen Changyan replied in a low voice.

Bai Zhi suddenly realized that there must be a net in Meier's room, so she could only look for another exit.

She turned her head and saw the masked man chasing him, took out a small paper bag from her pocket, and threw it out.

Suddenly thick smoke billowed and the smell choked my nose.

The masked man caught off guard and coughed. It turned out to be a female voice, and he didn't have time to pretend.

Bai Zhi sneered: "The secret is revealed."

"I didn't realize she was pretending to be drunk." Shen Changyan sighed softly.

Bai Zhi didn't say anything more, now it's important to escape.

The tunnel was very deep, and after running for a long time, there was no exit, Bai Zhi felt a little scared.

After all, the tunnel is underground, and any situation may prevent the two of them from getting out and die here.

"In a long way, let's stop and think about what to do."

Shen Changyan stopped and signaled her to stop talking and listen attentively.

Bai Zhi also listened intently, there were footsteps.

She couldn't help but feel happy and looked at Shen Changyan.

Shen Changyan also nodded towards her.

The two then continued running forward.

The sound of footsteps came from behind. If there was no exit in front, but various traps, the people behind would not chase after him.

After running for nearly a cup of tea, I noticed a glimmer of light in front of me.

The tunnel continued on, but the glimmer of light was at the top of the tunnel.

Bai Zhi stopped, looked up at the dim light, and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Yan, is this another exit, and the tunnel extending forward is a deception?"

Shen Changyan observed the surrounding terrain and quickly made a judgment: "You may be right."

He pulled out the dagger from his waist, cut a few small holes on the wall of the tunnel, and then climbed to the top of the tunnel by stepping on the small holes, pushing the stones in the dim light with his hands, and it turned out that there was an exit.

He poked his head out, waited and watched, then bent down and said to Bai Zhi: "Give me your hand and pull you up."

Bai Zhi obediently stretched out her hand.

Shen Changyan grabbed her hand and pulled hard. She used her strength to push on the tunnel wall and looked towards Yiduan.

Shen Changyan pushed her out of the tunnel at the right time, then jumped out himself, and then moved the big stone back to its original place.

Bai Zhi finally stood on the ground, taking a deep breath while observing the surrounding environment.

Although it is not yet dawn, there are dozens of wind lanterns, so it is clearly visible. The pavilions, rockeries and flowing water look like the back garden of an official's home.

"Zhang Yan, do you know where this is?"

Shen Changyan raised his hand to signal her not to speak.

There was a clear sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave, and the pursuers caught up.

Bai Zhi looked for a place to hide.

Unexpectedly, the footsteps gradually faded away.

A sneer flashed across Bai Zhi's face: "She doesn't know where the exit is?"

"It seems that this tunnel is by no means built by Yixiangyuan. As for why there is an entrance and exit in Yixiangyuan, and how Meier discovered this secret, I don't know. That person doesn't know that there are also The exit testifies to my thoughts."

Shen Changyan's words made Bai Zhi fall into deep thought.

After a long while, she asked aloud: "Could this tunnel have anything to do with Taoist Master Yijiang and the Third Prince?"

Shen Changyan nodded, agreeing with this guess.

While the two were chatting, there was another sound of footsteps, this time on the ground.

Shen Changyan pulled Bai Zhi into the nearby flowers.

It was the guard who was patrolling the courtyard at night, holding a torch and leaving quickly.

"In the backyard of the post house, let's leave quickly."

As Shen Changyan said, he reached out and grabbed Bai Zhi, leading her out over the wall.

The two then entered a secluded alley.

Return to Shen Guogong's mansion.

"Why is the tunnel in the backyard of the post house? And it is also the post house where Princess Chao'an and the Seventh Prince live. Is there anything fishy here?" Bai Zhi sat on the couch and carefully sorted out everything that had happened since entering Yihong Courtyard.

She felt that things were getting more complicated.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it doesn't rule out that it was done deliberately." Shen Changyan said in a deep voice.

It was like saying nothing, Bai Zhi was sleepy and yawned.

Before she could speak, Shen Changyan got up and said softly, "Go to sleep, I'm going back."

Bai Zhi originally pulled him over to clear her mind, but seeing that he couldn't say anything, she nodded in agreement.

Although she slept very late, Bai Zhi still got up very early, she couldn't fall asleep at all, things were so complicated, she wished she could be separated from her body so that she could take care of everything.

After breakfast, Bai Zhi was about to go out when Shen Changyan came over.

"Is there any news from Yingyi?"

Hearing this, Shen Changyan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Do you see that I only think about these things?"

Bai Zhi understood what he meant, but deliberately asked in confusion: "Otherwise?"

Shen Changyan smiled, and replied: "The old man with the nose ran away, and Xiao Cui is in the cave, still innocent."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "What a blessing. Are you sure it's Taoist Master Yijiang?"

Shen Changyan shook his head: "No, that person is also disguised, and his magic is very high. Fortunately, our people have the cracking talisman you gave us. If it weren't for it, we wouldn't be able to save people."

Bai Zhi nodded, her face unknowingly showed anxiety, the clues on both heads were abruptly broken.

Yixiangyuan and cave.

While the two were chatting, Yintan walked in and replied: "Your Majesty, Madam Xiaocui, please see me."

Bai Zhi hurriedly replied: "Please come in."

Xiao Cui's father and mother walked in. They both knelt on the ground and cried: "I beg you, the young lady, to make the decision for us. Last night, fortunately, the young lady sent a message and asked us to arrange the appearance of sleeping at home, and then quietly Leave. We went home this morning and found that our home had been burned to ashes. Those unscrupulous people had robbed our daughter and wanted to burn us to death."

Bai Zhi hurriedly asked Yin Tan to help them up, sat on the chairs, and served tea.

"Don't be sad, second brother. I have good news for you."

"What good news can we have?" Xiao Cuiniang asked crying.

Bai Zhi looked at Shen Changyan.

Shen Changyan thought for a while, then raised his voice and asked Yingyi to bring Xiaocui.

When Xiaocui's parents heard that their daughter was still alive, they stood up and knelt to thank her again, but were stopped by Bai Zhi.

"Second elders, you are welcome. Since we have encountered this matter, we will naturally help you to the end. As for the residence, don't worry, after the matter is over, the son of the world will help you find a house and live in peace. As for now..."

Bai Zhi said and looked at Shen Changyan again.

Shen Changyan understood that this was for him to arrange a temporary residence.

Now that Xiaocui is back, it is very likely that she will be silenced. Ensuring the safety of their family of three is the first priority.

Shen Changyan thought for a while and said: "If the two elders don't dislike it, you can take Xiaocui to live in another courtyard of mine temporarily. It will be absolutely safe there."

Xiaocui's parents are naturally very grateful.

Soon Xiao Cui was brought. She was a smart girl. Although she was blindfolded, when she was violated, she resisted to the death, tore off a jade pendant from the man, and bit the man's ear.
