Heartless Phoenix Queen - C208
Ye Indigo laughed in his heart. You actually dare to use the matter of us husband and wife as a wager? Hehe, are you afraid that you won’t be able to deal with me? When your bet is good and the odds are high, we’ll do the things there and lose you, hahahaha!
Alright, if these loyal Night Army soldiers were to find out what their Great General was thinking, would they think that he was cute? Was he stupid? [I actually love you and your wife, okay …]
The bet was just a small episode. Although Ye Indigo was depressed for a period of time, he was not the slightest bit hesitant when fighting. In total, he only needed three days to clear up the matter regarding the bandits. The other little generals that he had sent out had been beaten very passively.
Sure enough, there was a huge difference between a military genius and a martial arts fanatic. It was no wonder that Helian sent Night Blue, a small matter like killing bandits, to practice. Among the bandits that were being exterminated, Ye Bluelight acutely discovered that most of the trouble this time was caused by the people from the Eastpeng Kingdom. However, it was hard to tell whether this was the Dongping Continent’s power after all.
However, when Ye Qingyun brought his wife and the Ye Clan back to the capital in high spirits, he actually met the person he hated the most.
Helian did indeed have a similar feeling to the Violet Garden. Four days later, on the fifth day after Helian decided that there was no news of Zi Yuan going to Western Paradise yet again, Helian received news that he had been successfully rescued and was on the way back to the capital of Northern Yue City. Murong Xiu’s injuries were severe, so Zi Yuan brought him back to the Northern Yue.
This news made Helian happy and worried. He was happy that the Violet Garden had never let him down and would always succeed. What he was worried about was that if he brought Murong Xiu back to the Northern Yue, the Young Master of Western Paradise would definitely send people to kill him. Would he encounter any danger?
Helian Lie still didn’t know. Zi Yuan was worried that the news would leak out, so she didn’t report it to him. When she returned, she had to tell him a huge secret about Murong Xiu’s military — — Celestial Armored Soldiers.
When they returned to the other side of the courtyard, Tang Ao recognized the stone tablets as an Avalon of Five Elements formation. Relying on his memories, he brought Zi Yuan and Ellie into the Five Elements formation.
It was getting harder and harder for the three of them to stand together, so they could only pass by Tang Ao first. At the same time, Violet Garden jumped onto the safety of Tang Ao’s stone platform, and at the same time, Tang Ao jumped onto the next stone platform. Next, Tang Ao jumped onto a safe area, and Violet Garden jumped to the safety of the previous stone platform.
The three of them passed through the Five Elements Formation without incident and arrived at the limestone hut. Ellie’s hand touched a well next to the cabin, and a number of rockets were fired from the door, heading straight for their faces. One of the arrows landed on a flagstone in the middle of the Five Elements Array that had just passed through. In the end, sharp thorns shot out from all the flagstones, including the turf. If a person was inside, they would be badly mutilated.
“It seems I have to break the mechanism of this cabin to get safely to the corridor.” Zi Yuan looked at Ellie and said.
“How can we break the traps in a broken house?” Ellie was a little upset, “Those who guessed it was a spell just now, who could have guessed what it was?!”
Tang Ao continued to observe this strange house without saying a word. Just as he was about to speak, Violet Garden also discovered something strange. “The pattern on the wooden door …” Is this a jigsaw puzzle? ”
Tang Ao nodded in agreement. Thus, Zi Yuan took a small step back and said, “I’ll have to trouble Brother Tang Ao to help out.” Ellie made a face at her. It looked like she wasn’t very good at jigsaw puzzles either.
Tang Ao nodded, instructing them to stay where they were. He then walked along the stone path until he reached the entrance of the limestone house. At this time, two walls slowly rose up from both sides of the door.
“…” At this moment, Ellie’s mind was racing, “If he made the wrong puzzle, would he be turned into a meat patty by the wall of light?”
“I think so.” The Violet Garden couldn’t help but worry for Tang Ao.
The two anxiously watched as Tang Ao stood in front of the door for a long time. Suddenly, the loud sound of hinges could be heard, and the two walls began to sink. Then, the front door of the limestone house opened, and a path appeared where the corridor connected to the side of the door.
Ellie ran over happily and hugged Tang Ao: “You’re awesome! “Tang Ao!”
The half-masked man was a little embarrassed as he struggled out of her embrace, saying in a low voice, “Let’s go.”
At this moment, Zi Yuan suddenly said, “Aren’t we too successful?”
“What do you mean?” Ellie asked.
“We’ve been trying to break through the mechanism here, but none of the guards have come over. Are they that confident that the mechanism won’t be broken?” Violet Garden’s words reminded Ellie and Tang Ao, who had been caught up in the excitement of breaking through.
However, before the two of them could say anything, two guards had already rushed out from the limestone house.
“Zi Yuan, you jinx!” Ellie cursed. Very quickly, she and Tang Ao took care of one each.
But there was a steady stream of guards coming out of the house. The three of them used various methods to break the door. After repelling several groups of guards, it seemed that there were no more guards left.
Zi Yuan threw a fire piston into the dark room and shouted, “Follow me!” With a movement of his body, he jumped in. With another flash, he arrived at the passageway that opened up just as the mechanism was about to open.
Ellie and Tang Ao swiftly followed, and the three of them went up the corridor.
“The original map said that Murong Xiu was locked up in that place.” Ellie pointed with her left hand. “But I think that Murong Xiu might be locked up in this place.” She pointed to the right again.
“That direction on the left, it should be wrong. Let’s go to the right.” Tang Ao calmly took the lead and walked to the right.
The Violet Garden followed Tang Ao as they walked along the corridor, quickly approaching a room in front.
Just as Zi Yuan was about to kill the patrolling guards, Tang Ao had already activated the mechanism of his mask. The poison needle accurately pierced the enemy. Pu pu, the two patrolling guards were knocked down and the two nights before they collapsed on the ground.
Then came Tang Ao’s performance. His nimble left hand easily unlocked the door and entered, but there was no one there. This room seemed to be where Murong Xiu kept his calligraphy and paintings, as well as jade jades. It was filled with priceless works of art.
“Treasure Vault.” The location marked by the Treasure Vault was indeed slightly different from reality. However, the previous person had marked Murong Xiu as imprisoned in the opposite side of the Treasure Vault, while they were currently in the Treasure Vault. In front of the Treasure Vault, there was only an artificial lake.
An idea suddenly flashed through Zi Yuan’s mind as her hands rapidly probed everywhere.
“Find out if there are any traps.” she said eagerly. Thus, the three of them began to search for possible traps.
When Zi Yuan touched the Liu-Li lion’s head, the Liu-Li lion’s left eye would flicker, and when it touched the Liu-Li lion’s foot, the lion’s right eye would flicker. Therefore, she touched it at the same time. The lion’s eyes opened and its mouth opened wide at night, revealing a yellow and orange key.
“This shape of a keyhole, I just saw it. Wait a moment, let me think.” Ellie closed her eyes and pondered for a while before walking to a wall with auspicious clouds painted on it. She stuffed the key into an unremarkable cloud and the wall opened in response.
“Let’s go down and take a look.” Ellie suggested.
In any case, the investigation had already reached this stage. The people from the Violet Palace and the others were extremely skilled and bold. Just like that, they opened the secret room of the Treasure Vault and walked in.
In reality, when Murong Xiu was building this courtyard, the secret room that the Treasure Vault could open was connected to the artificial pool on the other side. He did not expect that one day, he would be imprisoned in a secret chamber in the courtyard that he had built. Of course, he also did not expect that the secret chamber in the Treasure Vault and the mechanism he had meticulously designed would be easily solved by them.
The three people of the Violet Garden were led by Tang Ao, with Ellie in the middle. At the back of the Violet Garden Hall, they slowly descended from the secret chamber’s entrance. Ellie was so excited about the books and treasures in the secret room that she wanted to scream but didn’t dare to. At last, after a turn, the guard who had appeared gave Ellie a place to vent her anger.
The three of them walked along the secret passage and beat up the guards. Unknowingly, they arrived at the secret room where Mu Rong Xiu was locked up.
When Tang Ao saw the miserable appearance of Murong Xiu, who had his shoulder blades tied to his waist, he rushed over and hugged him. He started to swallow, while Ellie was stunned. “We’re here to investigate, right? We’re not here to save this guy.”
Zi Yuan nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go back the way we came from. If he’s like this, how can the three of us save him?” Ellie turned and walked back the way she had come.
“Tang Ao, don’t cry.” Mu Rong Xiu looked like he was in a coma, but he was still conscious. He even kindly consoled Tang Ao, one of the Heaven Armored Soldiers that he was proud of.
“Zi Yuan, it seems like Liu Dun failed three times and failed to find this fellow. So we found him just like that?” Should we go back and plan things out and come back? ” Elli’s voice wasn’t loud, but every word was clearly seen by Murong Xiu.
“Zi Yuan, Zi Yuan, Zi Yuan …” Mu Rong Xiu raised his head and looked at Zi Yuan. He then burst out laughing, and started shaking his shoulder blades that were locked around his body.
“I didn’t expect it would be you.” He coughed twice and stared fixedly at Zi Yuan. “Zi Yuan, come to my side.”
Ellie held onto Viola and told her not to come over. Zi Yuan patted her hand and calmly walked over.
