Xiluo swallowed her saliva upon hearing this, and felt her ankle hurt more and more. She also felt that Bai Jinhua was not simple, or the Bai family was not simple. Since Bai Jinhua said so, it was likely that the owner of Bai Manor had already had some suspicions. Then, the second young master of the Bai family who was deceived by her was really naive.
Xiluo sighed inwardly and couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows. She really didn't want to provoke such a stupid creature. Anyway, she should leave here as soon as possible!
Just when Xiluo was about to secretly change places, she suddenly heard a familiar bird song in her ears. This sound made Xiluo surprised and happy, but now she was too close to Bai Jinqi and the others, and making any noise rashly would arouse their suspicion.
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard Bai Jinqi say in surprise, "There seem to be an unusually large number of birds singing tonight, and the species are different from before."
Bai Jinhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stamped her feet anxiously and angrily. "Second brother! Even if you wanted to change the subject, you didn't have to be so abrupt. It's not the first time there have been birds in this villa. There's a bird forest behind the villa!"
"Really? I feel like today is a little strange."
Xizhao couldn't help but become more nervous, silently praying in his heart, "Sir, why are you paying attention to this bird song? Didn't you say you were just punished and injured? If that's the case, you should leave quickly and get treatment!"
Bai Jinhua directly pulled Bai Jinqi's arm and said, "Alright, alright, second brother, hurry up and apply the medicine. I won't gossip about you and Xiluo."
"I'm fine. Didn't Big Brother ask us to search for the assassin? We'd better get there as soon as possible."
"Second brother, you are injured, so don't try to be so stubborn. I will talk to my eldest brother."
As the two were talking, the sound of their footsteps gradually faded away. Xiluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the two hadn't left, she really didn't know what to do. The second young master of the Bai family was quite skilled in martial arts. If she hadn't held her breath and concentrated just now, she would have been discovered long ago.
The familiar signal sound came from not far away again. This time, Xiluo responded decisively. Not long after, a new sound came from the darkness, which probably meant that Xiluo should wait where he was.
Xiluo did not object. Although her ankle was still a little sore, she felt much more at ease. Since Changkong responded to her in this way, he must be somewhat confident.
Xiluo closed her eyes slightly, and soon she heard a familiar voice calling, "Xiluo..."
Xiluo's expression changed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of worried eyes. At that moment, a little joy inexplicably surged in his heart, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Changkong was tinged with a bit of tenderness.
Changkong was stunned and a little flattered, but he quickly regained his composure and softened his voice, "Xiluo, it's really you! How come you are here?"
Xiluo pursed her lips and said, "My lady and I came here together. Now is not the time to talk about this. The prince is injured. You come with me!"
Xiluo briefly recounted the current situation. Changkong frowned, but his eyes fell on Xiluo's feet.
"You are hurt?"
"It's just a twist."
Changkong's face darkened. He took a step forward and picked up Xiluo. Xiluo let out a low cry, but soon fell silent. These men were really... However, the actions of the man in front of him still made him very happy.
Changkong walked quite fast and arrived at Yu Qingli's room in a moment. Seeing the state of Changkong and Xiluo when they came in, Yu Qingli subconsciously became worried.
"What happened to Xiluo?"
It wasn't a serious injury, but she was protected by two men. This had never happened in Xiluo's career as a killer for so many years, so she just felt ashamed!
Looking at Xiluo's suddenly red cheeks, Yu Qingli looked mischievous. It seemed that Xiluo was having a romantic encounter recently!
Murong Yanhui had already woken up and was half leaning on the couch with his eyes closed. Changkong put Xiluo down and walked straight forward to kneel in front of the bed.
"I failed to protect my master. Please punish me!"
Murong Yanhui opened her eyes slightly, but did not speak. She just waved her hand, signaling Changkong to get up.
Changkong felt guilty and was reluctant to get up for a long time. If it weren't for his master protecting him, he would have been the one injured! He owed his master a life.
Murong Yanhui shook his head helplessly, but looked at Yu Qingli, as if he wanted her to persuade Changkong. Yu Qingli, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh. Judging from Changkong's reaction, she had roughly guessed the situation at the time, and also understood the guilt in Changkong's heart. As a secret guard, he not only failed to protect Murong Yanhui well, but even let Murong Yanhui save him.
Yu Qingli took a step forward, but didn't directly call Changkong to stand up. She just said calmly: "Since you know your mistake, it's a coward to insist on not moving forward! Don't make the same mistake next time!" As she spoke, she glanced at Xiluo, "A man who is so cowardly is not worthy of being Xiluo's husband!"
Changkong's eyes reddened upon hearing this. He kowtowed towards Murong Yan and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Xiluo curled her lips and secretly complained, this idiot, it was clearly the young lady who asked him to get up, but he ended up thanking the prince. However, the prince and the young lady are indistinguishable from each other.
The next things were much simpler. With Changkong's appearance, Yu Qingli and the others were not too worried that Murong Yanhui would fall into a coma. If it really didn't work out, there was still Changkong as a free laborer!
At this point, Yu Qingli finally understood why Murong Yan came here.
It turned out that two days ago, Murong Yanhui accidentally rescued a soldier who had been severely tortured. According to him, he escaped from Jinxiu Villa. Murong Yanhui felt strange and only figured out the whole story and the cause and effect after the soldier woke up.
This man was called Hu Da, a child from a farming family outside the capital. Although his parents were not in good health, they did not relax their education for Hu Da and even sent him to a private school for several years. However, Hu Da preferred to wield swords and guns rather than write poetry.
Three years ago, someone came to their village to recruit soldiers. Hu Da signed up on impulse, deciding to use it to support his family and maybe have a good future in the future.
Hu Da joined the army quietly without telling his parents. At first, he was really excited and even thought about making achievements on the battlefield. But later, he found that the situation was completely different from what he imagined, because they were imprisoned.
It was an underground city. It was as if Hu Da had just woken up and arrived there. The city was full of soldiers, but Hu Da felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, one day later, he met the legendary master.
Their master told everyone that this army was to serve the master alone, and that they would have to obey the master's arrangements in everything from then on, and that their military pay would not be less than that of others. Those who were willing to stay could continue to stay, and those who did not want to stay would naturally be sent out by someone else, but the things happening here must never be leaked out.
Although Hu Da didn't like reading, he did understand some truths. He was terrified after hearing these words. These people were clearly planning a rebellion! So, he decided to leave here. Even if it meant returning to serve his elderly mother, it was better than rebelling!
After making up his mind, he waited for the so-called master to release them, but the result disappointed and frightened him. He slowly discovered that the number of people who were unwilling to stay was decreasing day by day. He originally thought that those people were released, until one night.
The weather was good that night. Hu Da couldn't sleep because he missed home. He secretly got up at night and wanted to go out for some fresh air, but suddenly saw several soldiers being taken away quietly.
Hu Da was curious, so he secretly followed those people. As a result, he saw an extremely cruel scene. Those soldiers who were unwilling to stay were beheaded one by one, and their bodies were thrown into a huge pit, which already contained countless corpses.
Hu Da was filled with fear. A few days ago, he had reported to his superiors that he wanted to go back. Thinking about the soldiers who were slowly disappearing, some of them were even his fellow villagers. He had thought that those people had already gone back, but he did not expect that they would die so tragically. He might soon become one of them.
The more Hu Da thought about it, the more frightened he became. Then, he saw two well-dressed men appear next to the pit. One of them was sitting in a wheelchair, and the other was standing behind him. He happened to have seen the man with difficulty walking before. He was the owner of Jinxiu Villa. Only then did he realize that they were now below Jinxiu Villa, so this must be Fengwei Mountain.
A bold plan formed in Hu Da's mind. He couldn't die! He still had parents to serve, and he had to marry and have children to carry on the family line! So, he had to escape!
So, the next morning, Hu Da quickly reapplied to stay. Fortunately, his application was approved, so he started training with those soldiers who volunteered to stay. During the training, Hu Da carefully observed the defenses of the underground city, thinking about where he could completely break through the siege and gain true freedom.
Unexpectedly, he stayed there for three years. During these three years, Hu Da was very obedient. He was like a soldier who was truly loyal to his master. He trained hard and even became a team leader. The team here became stronger and stronger, with more and more people. Of course, more and more people died. Hu Da secretly contacted several soldiers who also wanted to escape together and made plans secretly.
Finally one day, Hu Da and his friends found a good opportunity, so they escaped. However, they never expected that there were many checkpoints outside the underground city, and they were discovered before they even got out.
