Li Luoyan bit her lip, looked at Xu Zizhen, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu, do we... really want to leave?"

Xu Zizhen smiled: "That's your father, he won't harm you, don't worry."

Li Luoyan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, the guard led the way, walking in the dim light, Xu Zizhen and Li Meng followed closely beside Li Luoyan.

After a while, the three of them followed the guard to a palace. The guard stood still and said in a low voice: "The emperor has ordered that His Highness will spend the night here, don't walk around at will."

Li Luoyan nodded: "Understood." After speaking, he stepped into the palace gate, Xu Zizhen and Li Meng followed closely without thinking too much.

The heavy palace door opened with a creak, and the inside was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers. Li Luoyan frowned and was about to reprimand, but when he heard a soft shout, the lights in the hall suddenly brightened, causing pain in the eyes of the three people. I closed my eyes.

Xu Zizhen immediately drew his sword in his hand, barely opened his eyes, but when he saw the situation around him clearly, he couldn't help screaming that something was wrong.

I saw dozens of people around them, each of them was holding a short crossbow in his hand, the cold arrow was pointing steadily at them, and at the end of the hall was sitting a person, his face was as pink as frost and his eyes were evil. , looked at them coldly, but it was the current queen—Xiao Yu!

Before Li Luoyan understood what was going on, she heard Empress Xiao coldly say: "You two entered Aijia's palace at night with sharp knives, do you want to assassinate Aijia? Come, take it down!"

Xu Zizhen was shocked: Damn, I've been tricked!

Li Luoyan shouted in surprise and stopped in front of Xu Zizhen and Li Meng, glared at Empress Xiao angrily and said, "You actually used this trick!"

Empress Xiao glanced at her indifferently: "The Ai family doesn't know what Princess Yuping is talking about, these two broke into the Ai family's palace with sharp knives, shouldn't they take it down?"

What Li Luoyan was about to say, Xu Zizhen said in a low voice: "Girl, stop talking!"

Dozens of crossbow arrows were aimed at him and Li Meng, no matter how powerful they were, they would not be able to escape, Xu Zizhen cursed inwardly, he believed what the guard said, and followed him all the way here in a daze , so fucking stupid as a pig!

Seeing that he had given up resisting, two guards immediately rushed over to hand over his and Li Meng's knives, and then tied them tightly with a thick rope made of beef tendon. Just as Li Luoyan was about to stop him, two guards came over and violently Pulled her aside.

Li Luoyan was startled and angry, struggling and shouting: "Let them go!"

Empress Xiao walked up to her, whispered in her ear: "If you dare to leave the palace, I will kill them, understand?"

Li Luoyan's heart trembled, and she looked at Empress Xiao in horror. She didn't expect that Empress Xiao had listened to what Chongzong had just said to her. It seems that there might be hidden forces around Chongzong and he would attack the Xiao family in advance. What happened was also known by Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao smiled coldly, turned around, returned to the couch, sat down, and waved her hand lightly: "Put them down, and send Princess Yuping back to the palace."

"Yes!"

Li Luoyan didn't know what to do, her mind was in a mess, and she was carried back to the palace by two maids like walking corpses, while Xu Zizhen and Li Meng were kidnapped by Wuhuada.

The palace was quiet again, Xiao Hou sat on the couch and frowned slightly thinking about something, everyone retreated, and there was only one maid beside her, but it was Li Luoyan's cousin Yun Shanglan, her face was calm, as if nothing had happened As if doing anything, he asked lightly, "Why didn't you just kill those two people?"

Empress Xiao shook her head, and said with a sneer: "These two people don't know where they came from, but they obviously have very little relationship with that girl. As long as I detain them, she will definitely not leave easily with her temperament, and if she doesn't leave the palace, , Hmph! How can Li Qianshun do anything? Even if he is prepared, so what?"

Li Qianshun is Xia Chongzong, and Yun Shanglan was not surprised by Empress Xiao's act of directly calling the emperor by his name. He just nodded and said, "Since you have already made plans, then do as you please. My master has already prepared, I hope you Don’t make a mistake, and all previous efforts will be wasted.”

Empress Xiao seemed a little impatient, and snorted: "Should I still use him to teach me how to do things? Just let him rest assured."

Yun Shanglan didn't say any more, turned around and left lightly, holding Xu Zizhen's Tang knife in her hand, until she walked a long way, seeing that there was no one around her, her expression suddenly changed, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet resentfully: " You idiot, this will fall into her trap, now let me see what you do!"

……

Although Xu Zizhen regretted his carelessness, he was not flustered. Although the Western Xia Palace was not as huge as the Forbidden City in Beijing, it was indeed magnificent and spacious. It was not easy to escape from here. He was detained along the way. Walking to the depths of the palace, although his mouth was silent, his eyes kept looking around, and he silently remembered the future path in his heart.

I don't know how long he walked, but he was taken to a quiet and deep place, surrounded by high courtyard walls, and a thick gate stood in the night, like a prehistoric beast quietly crouching there to choose someone to choose. bite.

Two guards led them straight into the door, walked through the winding corridors, and finally came to a rockery. Somehow, the rockery moved halfway away, exposing an area of ​​Zhang Xu wide on the ground. From the entrance of the cave, I walked down the entrance for a long time, and after turning a corner, my eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a spacious basement, surrounded by small houses made of thick bluestone, each room has only one small door, and there is only a small window not much bigger than a palm on the door.

In the gloomy corridor, there were only a few torches stuck on the wall, and the flames flickered, as if they were in front of the Senluo Hall. The two guards escorted Xu Zizhen to the innermost end and opened a door. Pushing Xu Zizhen and Li Meng in, shouted: "Go in!"

Xu Zizhen was caught off guard and fell straight in. The ground was cold and hard. Li Meng followed him and was thrown in. Coincidentally, he fell on his chest. He groaned and couldn't help cursing: "Mom! Yes, if you don’t even spread some straw, I’ll be killed!”

The guards ignored them and closed the stone door with a bang. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and the entire basement suddenly became dead silent.

Xu Zizhen barely sat up, looked at the tendons on his hands and feet and gave a wry smile. Today is the most helpless time he has ever been since he came to the Song Dynasty. His hands and feet were tied up and imprisoned, and Li Luoyan was obviously under surveillance by Empress Xiao , if I want to escape from this ghost place, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Li Meng frowned and sat up, looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what should we do now?"

Xu Zizhen curled his lips: "Those two guys are going to pick shallots, let's just wait to be handled (mixed)."

Li Meng opened his mouth wide and stared at him blankly. After a long while, he stammered and said, "Uncle, what do you mean we are dead? Is there really no way to escape?"

Xu Zizhen said seriously: "Nonsense, there is still a way to escape."

Li Meng was both surprised and delighted: "Really? What can I do?"

Xu Zizhen chuckled, and said word by word: "Call! Help! Life!"
