Chapter 28 (2)

Although Lu Qian once taught the process that Jiaxuan pretended to please Li Yijie, he didn't care whether she could really win him favor. Even if he broke the border, it would be okay for him. He sighed and said, "Yes, that crazy girl is wild and hard to tame. She hasn't been safe these days. She tried to escape in a different way, but fortunately she was all suppressed. In order to avoid you worrying, I spent too much effort and made her feel restless every day and lost her energy during the day. You traveled all the way and went around the market to see the stalls. I couldn't bear it anymore. Next time there was such a good thing, and I wouldn't dare to ask for it if I had one or two restless beauties to accompany me." In order to show that he was not easy, he could not help but exaggerate.

Li Yijie said, "Thank you so hard. Cheng Jiaxuan... I knew she was not that simple. She pretended to sell me well these days, but I didn't even fall for her. As expected, I was on guard against me." Lu Qian said, "Yes, otherwise how could you show that you, Li Alliance Leader, are shrewd?" Li Yijie heard that he praised him and was very helpful, so he couldn't help but show off his talent he put on to him, and said, "Brother Lu Xian has been awarded. I suspect that she suddenly said she had a stomachache and wanted to escape on the excuse. You should go back and stare at her."

Nangong Xue glared at Lu Qian and said, "After all, it's his one-sided statement. I can't believe it. Even if Xiaoxuan missed it before, she will regret it in the future. Senior brother, don't just look at everyone at first sight. I have also come into contact with Xiaoxuan these days. Her nature is not a big traitor or evil."

Lu Qian pretended to be wronged and said, "No, is she me?" Xueer, you don't think that I deliberately said this lie to deceive your senior brother for my despicable act?" Nangong Xue said, "That's not. I didn't say that, I just didn't feel relieved of you."

Lu Qian said: "How many more times do you want me to say it? You are the only one in my heart. Such things will cause you to misunderstand, and it is too late to push them to a hundred and eight thousand miles away. If it weren't for keeping a close eye on the prisoner, I would have been impatient to follow her with her because I had lost money. Or, what if this is the case, your senior brother is a gentleman, and you should have trusted him, so let him accompany the little girl and I'll accompany you to watch the stars. Don't be jealous, okay?"

Nangong Xue had long thought that he was a shameless person. When he heard that he was talking about "famous and integrity", he felt funny. He was also afraid that his senior brother should take the overall situation first and take care of Cheng Jiaxuan and leave himself alone with this traitor. He hurriedly said, "What jealous am I going to be? You are so happy to be with Xiaoxuan..." He wanted to say that I was too happy, but he felt that this sentence was really jealous and had a strong sense of jealousy. He couldn't help but blush his cheeks, and said, "Anyway, you have been watching her, and you have never had any trouble. I'll ask you to help yourself. I believe you are not bad at her... Senior brother, do you think?" She was afraid that Li Yijie would be too kind, and after that, she had to ask him to ask him to give up this idea in person.

Li Yijie didn't think so much, and immediately responded, "Yes, Brother Lu Xian, you'd better go back quickly. Don't pick up this leak for her and run away first." Lu Qian's face was full of helplessness and sighed, "I can't help it, Li, who told me to make a gang with you? This burden can only fall on my shoulders, and I will share it for you. I won't disturb the two of you're watching the moon, I will take it back." As he said that, he sighed repeatedly, leaving, and went listlessly.

Although Li Yijie felt a little strange, he did not expect that Lu Qian would immediately change his face to a smile of a trick. He understood that the more reluctant he was to act in this matter, the more relieved he could make Li Yijie feel at ease. The distance he could see was very short and he didn't go far. He probably left the sight of the two and immediately accelerated his pace.

Nangong Xue was really worried about Cheng Jiaxuan and said, "Senior Brother, can this... really be safe?" Li Yijie shook her hand and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem. Although Cheng Jiaxuan is my enemy, I will not intentionally set up a plan to harm her, nor will I ignore her when she falls into danger." Nangong Xue felt warm in her hands, and she smiled slightly, and said, "Senior Brother, look at what you said, will I still not believe you?"

As soon as Lu Qian returned to the big tree where the two met, Cheng Jiaxuan was already considerate and was waiting to set off. The two of them walked slowly in the shadows cast by the trees. The sound of hoes and picks in the village covered the footsteps of their feet completely. But even so, everything must be cautious. Lu Qian has been living in the world for many years and is well aware of the principle of "not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one". A little far away from everyone, Cheng Jiaxuan couldn't help but be curious and asked in a low voice: "What reason did you use to deceive Li Alliance Leader Li? Do he really believe it?"

Lu Qian thought of the lie, so he would never be able to send his subordinates to follow him again. Even if he woke up later, he and Cheng Jiaxuan would have been able to take his life to kill him. At that time, he was in a hurry, but now he asked him to think of a similar plan, but he couldn't do it no matter what. Every time he thought of it, he would laugh a few times.

Cheng Jiaxuan originally just asked casually, but she smiled several times in a row, and there was something indescribable strange in her laughter, and her curiosity was all aroused. But no matter how many times she asked, Lu Qian always refused to answer.

Cheng Jiaxuan had no choice but to temporarily suppress the doubts, and took him to the back of the village based on the memory of the time he came with Xuanshuang. At that time, Hu Wei and Shen Shiyun arrived, and the two of them did not even cover the entrance of the cave, so they could see it at a glance. But it had been more than a few months, and the weeds were lush and it was difficult to identify the truth. They only found the general direction on the hill.

She also brought a pickaxe in her hand, digging here and there. The secret passage was originally covered by dead grass paved on the ground. Once touched, she could immediately feel it without going deeper. But although the test was fast, there was no real hole, and in a short while the wasteland was dug into a pothole.

Cheng Jiaxuan has always cared about the eyes of others. She had just swear to praise Haikou. If you can't find the secret way now, don't think that Lu Qian is intentionally lying to him. When he was anxious, big beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.

Lu Qian leisurely pinched the grass stem and said, "Are you sure the secret path is here?" Cheng Jiaxuan digged for a long time without success. He knew that a moment of delay would make him more dangerous, and the subsequent changes were unpredictable. But seeing her so anxious, she insisted on pretending not to be anxious to show the disparity in ability between the two. His tone was plain, but Cheng Jiaxuan was afraid that this was a sarcasm, so she quickly raised her head and shouted, "It's definitely here, I saw it with my own eyes, believe me!" She supported her hands, tears were already in her eyes, and a look of anxiety and exaggeration on her face.

Lu Qian was a little surprised and said, "Call it again, Li Yijie and the others heard the sound and rushed to help us find each other. Anyway, there are too many people, right?" Cheng Jiaxuan was stunned, her face turned slightly red, but she didn't know what to say to apologize, and smiled embarrassedly.

Lu Qian sighed and said, "What's the hurry? I didn't say I doubt you. It's hard for me to distinguish the authenticity of the words. But if you shout loudly, if you hear it, you would think... cough... cough... it's not a solution to dig around like you. Let's think about it first, are there any signs around the secret path?"

Cheng Jiaxuan said: "This is a secret way. The purpose is to cover up and no one can see it. How can you make marks and leave them for future generations? Just like the secret you locked up, would you hang the key on your chest and sway around the market?"

Lu Qian sneered and said, "I'm so stupid. I want to hide it from others. Duan Wu can't even find it himself. Otherwise, he doesn't have to hide it specifically and just drop it. Think about it again, what's suspicious about it? Even if weeds are everywhere, we will definitely find the doubts from this pile of grass."

Cheng Jiaxuan suddenly realized and said, "That's right! Alas, you're so smart." Lu Qian snorted coldly, "I think you're too stupid. But there's nothing you can do about it. A little bit too much, it's not reliable to do things. Who was the first to dig out this secret path?"

Cheng Jiaxuan smiled faintly and said, "That was Hu Wei. He went through a life of death in the underground palace and finally found this path of life in the underworld hall. He was found from the inside out. He used to be the guard of Concubine Yun. Before entering the palace, he was a tomb robber. He often led people to dump a few small dows in the village to make a living, and his life was hard."

Lu Qian said: "You don't need to introduce you, I recognize that boy. It's reasonable to say that he was from the inside out for the first time, but when he took Concubine Yun down, he should have been exposed from the outside. He is a lieutenant who specializes in touching gold, and should have some unique skills. He knows more about the ancient tomb than his own family, and has never found a life-seeking kill? It is logical that he is the best opportunity to seek credit in front of Concubine Yun."

Cheng Jiaxuan smiled with a pursed lips and said, "I don't know this, you should ask him." Seeing that there was a lot of sarcasm in her smile, Lu Qian said, "Do you think I dare not? Speaking of which, this kid hasn't seen him for a long time, where are you going to find him?"

Cheng Jiaxuan smiled and said, "He was in the Palace of Yama. He was in the Palace of the Underworld to take out the broken soul-breaking tears that were integrated with the jade box. Unexpectedly, there was another sinister mechanism on the box. He was accidentally shot by a poisonous arrow and died on the spot. After death, his seven holes bleed, his body quickly rotted into a white bone, and maggots crawled out of his eyes and nostrils. That look is really scary. I think he is probably going to become a zombie. I heard that human souls will remain in the form of death. If you want to ask him, you have to become his kind first."

Although Lu Qian quickly saw Cheng Jiaxuan's intention of teasing, she had been fooled by her before, which was a great humiliation for him. He clenched his fists and smashed her head, saying, "You have learned to mess with a little girl who has not improved?"

Cheng Jiaxuan smiled and said, "It's because I'm too progressing to get you. Don't say that I'm stupid and useless in the future, otherwise what's your fault if you're someone like me? Okay, don't be so stern. Are you so angry? Anyway, you used to be too often, and I'll give you a reply, and we'll be even if we go back and forth."

This was the first time Lu Qian was defeated by Cheng Jiaxuan. She didn't expect that she seemed quiet and was unambiguous when she was playing with people. She was a little happy when she walked with Chu Menglin before. She held back her smile and said, "I can't see, you still can't hide it. This reminded me of a common saying." She deliberately stopped talking and said, but Cheng Jiaxuan couldn't stand it and asked, "What common saying? Don't swear people." Lu Qian said, "Dogs that can bite people usually don't bark."

Cheng Jiaxuan is mostly funny about this. Although she tried her best to endure it, she still couldn't help laughing. She could not help but talk again. She only focused on finding clues. This time she changed her strategy and no longer rummages. She observed carefully and did not miss any clues. It turned out that there was something unusual. There was a small stall with grass roots on the ground, which was a little different from the surrounding weeds.

Cheng Jiaxuan stared at her without blinking, fearing that she would lose her position after moving a little. She moved closer and gently pushed away the grass. She saw two stains on the ground. Over time, the color faded and the soil had penetrated very deep. But when she looked at the shape, it was very similar to the semicircular arc shape around the soles of the shoes.

If it is really a footprint, the depth of the two sides is very different. It is said that ordinary people will never leave such a mark when walking. But everything has special circumstances. Cheng Jiaxuan thought of this and thoughts flashed. He remembered that Hu Wei's identity in the underworld hall was exposed, and a stone shot down by Chu Menglin broke a leg. These things sounded intermittently afterwards, but if combined with deep thoughts, they could indeed match the status quo.
