Chapter 527 (2/2)

No one dares to approach such a large hidden bamboo yard at will on weekdays. Xie Zhen's backup road for Xie's family has become a way for others to escape.

Who is Cheng Yaojin, who killed him on the way to take ah Jiu?

He knew everything about Xie's residence like the back of his hand. He even knew that there was such a tunnel in Yinzhu courtyard. He sneaked into Xie's residence without search while the emperor's capital was in chaos, so as to escape.

It's hateful!

The third childe's body was getting colder and colder. Qingliu and others who followed behind him couldn't stand it. They were so cold that they almost couldn't open their legs.

Xie Xuan pushed open the door and walked quickly to the couch. As soon as the secret passage mechanism was opened, he took a fire fold from the secret lattice of the wall, lit it, and went down the tunnel to check.

As soon as he came down the steps, he paused and looked at the footprints on the ground by the light of the fire. His eyebrows could not help but wrinkle deeper and deeper.

Green six three people followed down the steps and couldn't help asking, ”third childe, but have you found something unusual?”

Xie Xuan walked forward a few steps. ”These steps are new and old, with different depths. Looking at the appearance of the new footprints, they should have been left not long ago.”

Qing Liu came forward and looked at it carefully. He looked back and said, ”this new footprint is very shallow, but there are some traces. It should be a person with high martial arts who should move forward with a load...”

As he said that, he walked more than ten steps forward, and suddenly found a fork in front of him. He couldn't help looking back at the third childe in great surprise.

Xie Xuan said expressionless, ”there are four exits in this secret Road, leading to the Imperial Palace, Prince's house and North Street. There are wine here and the moat outside the imperial capital.”

The third childe said and went forward and bent over to check the traces on the ground.

Qingliu and others looked along his eyes and saw that the new footprints went towards the dark road with wine here in North Street.

Qingliu said: ”the trace is still so new. People should not have gone far. I'll catch up with him right away. It's just... Why does he have wine here?”

Another Qingyi guard said, ”the city gate has not been opened yet. The villains who killed and disturbed the situation on the way finally entered the secret road. They don't want to leave the city and go to North Street for what?”

”Maybe it's the wrong way?”

”There is no time to delay now.” Xie Xuan said in a deep voice, ”I'll go outside the city to find out what's going on. You'll follow the remaining three roads to see if you can catch up with anyone. After you go out, report it to my eldest brother immediately!”

”But the third childe......” Qingliu just wanted to persuade Xie Xuan not to go. First of all, he didn't say whether the third childe's body could support it. If the villain walking in front of the secret way had high martial arts, how could it be good?

But he didn't have time to say anything.

The third childe has turned and got into the secret passage on the far left.

The remaining two Qingyi guards looked at each other, but they were speechless. Their eyes said, ”go ahead and have a look. It's really not good. You can still take the third childe back to the Lord.”

After only a moment, they went into the dark path and flew away.

Xie Xuan, the first to leave, walked faster and faster along the dark path. There was no trace on the ground at the beginning, but with dozens of steps out, he gradually had new footprints.

The farther the third childe went, the more obvious the weak fire reflected the new footprints on the ground.

That is to say

It is very likely that the man moved forward with a heavy load. At the beginning, he was quite relaxed. Later, he walked farther and longer, and the pace also increased.

It goes without saying what the man who sneaked into Xie's house and fled with a heavy load while the emperor's capital was in chaos.

Xie Xuan thought of this and couldn't help running wildly in the dark road.

The fire in his hand went out, but his steps didn't slow down by half.

In these three days, he has gone through countless dark doors and secret ways, but every time he tries to fight, he gets more unbearable disappointment.

Only this time.

Xie Xuan clearly felt that ah Jiu was not far from him.

Wait for him, take her home, take her back to the boy she likes.
