Chapter 297 Attacked
The few people were startled, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and the sleeve arrow flew past, brushing their cheeks.

Before he could concentrate, the next moment, another sleeve arrow with a cold light flew in front of him.As the overhead lantern was extinguished and the moonlight was hidden in the clouds again, it was pitch black before his eyes. Before he could react, he felt a pain in his chest. When he looked down, the sharp sleeve arrow had already been inserted into his chest.

Only a few muffled grunts were heard, and several guards fell to the ground one after another.

After the abnormal noise, the surroundings became silent again, and the night became darker and thicker like ink.

At this time, the crescent moon slowly emerged from the clouds, and the cold moonlight shone on the earth, illuminating the dead guards on the ground. The small sleeve arrows that had just flown were all neatly inserted in their chests. The bright red blood flowed out slowly, with a somewhat enchanting and treacherous feeling.

For a moment.

A few people suddenly jumped down from a tree not far away, like shadows in the dark night, lurking over without a sound.

And in the dark prison at this time.

On the corner of the wall in the prison, there is only one bronze candlestick. The candlestick is full of rust. The flickering of the fire casts ghostly shadows.

Even though it was late at night, Ye Luo and Ji Liuyun were extremely awake.

It had been two days since Shen Chuhan's people came to deliver the letter to them that day, but after that, there was no further development.The people who came to bring them food every day changed, but they didn't come to interrogate them.But the only thing that is certain is that the guards at the gate have become much stricter.

Although Ji Liuyun didn't know what was going on outside, he could feel the calm before the rain.So in the past few days, he and Ye Luo took turns to rest in case something unexpected happened.

The longer the time dragged on, the more disturbed both of them felt.

Although it was already midnight, neither of them felt sleepy, neither of them opened their mouths, they just lowered their heads quietly, thinking about each other.

At this time, Ji Liuyun seemed to hear something, his ears moved, his eyes looked towards the closed door, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

Ye Luo looked up and saw that his expression was different, so she couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Brother Liuyun, what's wrong?"

Ji Liuyun said softly, "Luoluo, did you hear anything just now?"

Ye Luo also frowned, with some hesitation in his tone, "I... I didn't pay much attention, it seems... there was the sound of something falling to the ground?"

"Yes." Ji Liuyun nodded, "I always feel that something will happen tonight, cheer up and don't take it lightly." While speaking, he took out a pack of medicine powder from his sleeve with two fingers.

He originally carried a lot of common poisons with him, but after being caught by the people of Wuhen Palace, they were all searched away. Only a bag hidden in a pocket in his sleeve survived.However, the dose was not much, and he didn't want to show his cards until it was a last resort.

After hearing Ji Liuyun's words, Ye Luo nodded cautiously, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a "clank" from the door, as if a sharp knife had slashed on the lock.

Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo both had serious expressions on their faces, staring nervously at the gate.

There was another "bang", the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and a few men in black sneaked into the dark cell like ghosts under the moonlight.

Ji Liuyun's expression was tense, and he clenched the packet of medicine powder tightly in his hand.

Just at the moment when the sword was on the verge of breaking out, the leading man in black glanced at Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo, suddenly pulled off the mask on the bottom, looked at Ji Liuyun and said, "Master Ji, Xiayin Thirteen, come to rescue You and Miss Ye go out."

The person who came was the person who joined Ji Liuyun that day when he delivered meals to him.

Unexpectedly, he really came to save them!
Seeing this familiar face, Ji Liuyun heaved a sigh of relief, nodded in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."

Yin Shisan nodded and waved to the people behind.The men in black behind him understood, raised their swords, and swung their swords to cut off the chains that tied Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo.

Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo regained their freedom, and their expressions were slightly relaxed.

Ji Liuyun rubbed his wrist, looked at Yin Shisan and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on outside?"

"The guards guarding the gate have been killed by us, but it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Please come down the mountain quickly with the two of you."

"Has Jin Zhi come?" Ji Liuyun nodded, looked at him and asked, subconsciously took Ye Luo's hand, and walked out behind him.

Ye Luo moved her fingers slightly, but she didn't speak, she just lowered her head with a serious expression on her face.

"The young master is already at the foot of the mountain, and he will lead people to launch an attack on the Wuhen Palace soon. Before that, the young master ordered me to take the young master Ji and Miss Ye to a safe place first." Yin Shisan said, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and cupped his hands Two people were invited out.

Although Ji Liuyun wanted to help, but he was severely tortured a few days ago, although he has been holding on, but after all, his vitality has been hurt, and it will be really powerless.Besides, since the situation is unclear now, he doesn't feel worried about Ye Luo being alone, so he didn't say much, and nodded in a low voice.

After leaving the dark prison, Ji Liuyun saw the corpse lying on the ground at a glance, lying on the ground in a mess.

"How to deal with these corpses?" He asked coldly.

With a flick of Yin Shisan's hand, there were only a few soft sounds of "Xu Xiu", and the sleeve arrow stuck in the corpse's chest was put into the sleeve.He looked at Ji Liuyun and said, "It's okay, it's important that you two leave here first."

"Okay." Seeing that he had made arrangements, Ji Liuyun nodded, tightened Ye Luo's hand, followed him, and jumped into the night.

*
Soon, the bell rang loudly on Luoying Peak, "咚——咚——咚" three times, resounding through the entire mountain, making the already noisy Luoying Peak even more noisy.

The incident of the water leakage in Cangzhen Pavilion was originally a small-scale expansion of the situation, but with the alarm bell, the atmosphere on Luoying Peak suddenly became dignified and solemn.

Under normal circumstances, the bell will ring three times only when the Wuhen Palace enters the most urgent situation, which means that the Wuhen Palace has been invaded by foreign enemies, and the entire Wuhen Palace must immediately enter a state of full alert.

Immediately, crowds of people rushed towards the entrances of the mountain, and everyone looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

In order to narrow down the target, Yin Shisan temporarily dismissed the man in black who followed him to rescue Ye Luo and Ji Liuyun, and took Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo to sneak down the mountain pass.

On the way, they also heard the three bells ringing, and seeing Yin Shisan's expression suddenly became serious, Ji Liuyun's eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice, "What does the bell mean?"

"On behalf of the entire Wuhen Palace, all staff are on alert." Yin Shisan said in a deep voice, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the people in Wuhen Palace would find out about Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo's rescue so quickly. He originally wanted to sneak down the mountain without anyone noticing, but just looking at this posture, I'm afraid he had to think otherwise. There is a way.

Along the way, there were indeed many more guards on patrol.

After finally avoiding the patrolling people, they arrived at the entrance of the mountain gate, and the three of them hid in the bushes and looked towards the entrance.

Not far away, the torches were brightly lit, as bright as day, and a dozen or so people were guarding the door with murderous looks on their faces. Going out at this time was just asking for trouble.

Yin Shisan frowned.

Ji Liuyun glanced at him and asked, "Is the way down the mountain blocked?"

Yin Shisan nodded, "After all, we were a step too late. Unexpectedly, Li Xu found out that something was wrong so quickly." He explained in a low voice.If there were not many guards suddenly appearing along the way, they would not have been delayed for so long on the road.

At this time, not far away, another group of guards came towards this side, and the three hurriedly kept silent.The patrolling people walked past not far away, but finally they didn't notice them.

Ji Liuyun's eyes dimmed slightly.

Li Xu is a smart man. Since he found out that he and Luoluo were rescued, he should have guessed that the people who rescued them would have other tricks.Therefore, the guards at the entrances of these mountains will only become more and more strict. It is really not a wise move for them to hide here and be discovered by people who come and go at any time.

Thinking of this, he suggested in a low voice, "It's too dangerous here, let's get out of here first, and then find a way." He looked at Yin Shisan, "Are you familiar with the terrain of Wuhen Palace? Is there any place we can hide from?" avoided?"

Yin Shisan nodded, knowing the current situation, the three of them really couldn't break out of the siege, thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Please follow me, both of you." The person dodged and disappeared into the darkness again.

Bypassing more and more patrolling soldiers, Yin Shisan led the two of them to the edge of a cliff.

This is a large open space, but there is a forest in front of it blocking it. If you don't find this place deliberately, basically, you can't see the situation here from the outside.

"What is this place?" Ji Liuyun asked.

"This is the place where those who made mistakes in the Wuhen Palace were punished to face the wall to be punished. Today, the outside is already full of people, no one will come here." Yin Shisan explained.

Only then did Ji Liuyun calm down a little, and found a larger stone for cover, and they squatted down to hide.

"There, what is the plan?"

"Wuhen Palace is located on Luoying Peak. The mountain gate we saw just now is the most commonly used entrance to the entire Wuhen Palace, and it is also the easiest entrance to find, so Li Xu sent heavy troops to guard it. There are several other places, The terrain is relatively steep, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it. I have already sent someone to send a letter to the son of the specific location. The original plan was that after we went down the mountain to meet them, the son would lead people up the mountain from these places to launch a surprise attack. It's just..." Having said that, he lowered his head anxiously.

"It's just that we're trapped on the mountain now, where Jhin's place is, and it's inevitable that we won't be able to avoid it." Ji Liuyun took his words calmly.

Yin Shisan nodded, "However, before coming, the young master also expected this to happen. They will wait for us to arrive at the third quarter of the ugly hour. If we don't see us coming down the mountain by then, young master, they will launch an attack according to the original plan and let us Find a safe place to hide for now."

Ji Liuyun frowned slightly, and looked up at the sky.

"Now...it's been ugly for a moment."

Yin Shisan nodded, "It's about time, I think we won't be able to go down the mountain for the time being, so we can only take shelter here."

At this time, Ye Luo, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Are the guards at the other mountain gates weaker? Can we go down from there?"

Before Yin Shisan could speak in the future, Ji Liuyun denied Ye Luo's proposal, "It's very difficult for us to pass by now, and it will inevitably ruin Jin Zhi's plan. In my opinion, it is still the same as before Jin Zhi What the third said, we will avoid here first, and then act according to the situation."

"Alright." Ye Luo nodded after hearing the words, without saying much.

The three of them waited for a while, only to faintly hear the movement outside the forest getting louder.

Yin Shisan was a bit anxious. After thinking about it, he looked at Ji Liuyun and said, "Mr. Ji, you and Miss Ye are hiding here, and go out to see the situation. If you have already attacked the mountain, maybe we can Take advantage of the chaos and escape."

Ji Liuyun thought for a while, and was a little worried, "Go out now, what if someone finds out?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ji, my identity in Wuhen Palace has not been revealed yet, and no one should find out."

"Then...be careful." This is not a safe place after all, they can't take it lightly, so it is necessary for Yin Shisan to go out to check the situation.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Alright, then you should be careful."

Yin Shisan nodded, "Yes", and took out a few flares from his pocket and handed them to Ji Liuyun, "If the situation is critical, Mr. Ji can light this flare, and if the people in the dark pavilion see it, they will come to rescue them as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Yin Shisan clasped his fists in a salute, performed lightness kung fu, and quickly left the woods, disappearing from the sight of Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo.

Only then did Ji Liuyun look back at Ye Luo.

The clothes on her body were already thin, and several parts of the clothes were ripped apart by the iron chains in the prison, revealing the white skin underneath.Coupled with the howling mountain wind here, Ye Luo folded his arms, his lips turned white from the cold.

A trace of distress flashed in Ji Liuyun's eyes, he took off his outer shirt and put it on her, and comforted her in a deep voice, "Luoluo, don't worry, we will escape successfully."

Ye Luo said "hmm", seeing that Ji Liuyun only had white underwear left on her body, she hurriedly took off the shirt and wanted to return it, but Ji Liuyun stretched out his hand to hold her down, "Luoluo, be obedient, if you are sick, it will only be more difficult for me."

In the dark night, his voice was deeper than usual, which made Ye Luo feel a little dazed.

When she was distracted, she caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing behind Ji Liuyun from the corner of her eye. She was startled, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to push Ji Liuyun aside, and shouted, "Be careful!"
