Chapter 1025 The Rescue (1/2)
After the secret guards went down the secret passage, Luo Qingyan followed them behind. As the secret passage was dug in a hurry, the surrounding walls were a little uneven. With a touch of his hand, some scattered soil fell down, and some places were muddy or even full of water.
In order to prevent the people in the passage from suffocating, they dug some holes leading to the ground in some secret places. The secret guards in front and behind held torches in their hands, and no one spoke on the way. They were walking quietly and orderly.
Just as Luo Qingyan had said, the camp of the State of Yelang was not far from the Lingxi City. But with that mountain as a barrier, Cangjue Qingsu had nothing to fear.
After walking for about two hours, Luo Qingyan and the secret guards arrived at the exit. The secret guards extinguished the torches in their hands and carefully poked their heads out. The exit was surrounded by weeds, and no one was around. The secret guards went up to the ground one by one. Only two people were left to protect Luo Qingyan in the secret passage.
Not far from the exit of the secret passage, there were tents one after another. Outside the tents, the torches lit up the entire camp. The secret guards sent each other a secret signal, after which they used Qinggong to dodge the patrolling soldiers and find their spy hidden in the army of Yelang.
The spy quickly led the secret guards to the camp where Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling were locked up. The outside of the camp was heavily guarded. Eight soldiers were guarding there, and a group of soldiers patrolled around every fifteen minutes.
He led the secret guards over and talked to the soldier for a while in the language of the State of Yelang. The soldier looked at the secret guards for a few times before he nodded, took out the key and opened the door.
The spy led the secret guards into the camp. The light was still on in the camp. Xia Huanyu was reading a book, and Hua Ling was copying Buddhist scriptures. She looked a little relaxed, as if she was not imprisoned here.
Seeing that someone came in, Xia Huanyu frowned and looked a little unhappy, ”It's so late. Who allows you to come in?”
The spy turned around and looked at the soldiers outside the tent. He snorted coldly, ”Our king wants to question you two. Come with us.”
Hearing that, Xia Huanyu's hand holding the book paused for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the secret guard behind him. After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and put the book aside. Then he looked up at Hua Ling and said, ”Ling'er, let's go.”
Hua Ling nodded and put down the pen. When she walked out of the desk, Xia Huanyu reminded her in a low voice, ”Take your Buddha beads with you.”
Hearing this, Hua Ling was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything. She turned around and took the Buddha beads, and then walked out of the camp together with Xia Huanyu.
