A knife in love

Chapter 1753

While talking, everyone walked forward cautiously.Qi Jiu holds the fire folder in his left hand, and holds the long knife upside down in his right hand, leading the way for everyone.While squatting and moving forward, he searched the cave wall carefully, for fear that he might miss the trap.He could hear the people behind him talking clearly, and he thought to himself, brother Li is very smart and tolerant, much better than me.I hated the dog officer surnamed Xiao very much before, and tried to kill him a few times, but Brother Li kept forbearing.At that time, I was still very puzzled, I didn't know why Brother Li was a knight who hated evil like a vengeful man, why he spared the dog officer surnamed Xiao many times.We are in a predicament right now, the dog officer surnamed Xiao is like a poisonous snake, following us, maybe he will suddenly bite us.But right now, brother Li was right.The person surnamed Xiao is not only not weak in martial arts, but also an old official in the officialdom after all, with extraordinary knowledge.And although he is cunning and insidious, he is still a Han Chinese after all, and he refuses to surrender to the Japanese pirates, so he can be used by us.Brother Li's scheming, I want to learn from him.

When Qi Jiu was thinking about it, he felt that the secret passage in front of him was much bigger, and he was able to stand upright and walk a little.His heart trembled, and he thought to himself that those who dug the dense cave were full of energy at the beginning, and they must not spare any effort when digging the entrance.Right now, the secret path is almost as tall as his body, could it be that he is almost at the entrance of the cave?

Thinking of this, Qi Jiu immediately raised her heart to her throat, and became more careful when walking.Wang Xiaoyu, who was walking behind him, saw that Qi Jiu suddenly slowed down, felt strange, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, is there something going on in front?"

Qi Jiu heard Wang Xiaoyu's abrupt question, but she couldn't help but answer.As he carefully searched forward, he said in a deep voice: "The secret passage has become much taller here. Therefore, I guess that the secret passage is likely to come to an end soon."

When everyone heard what Qi Jiu said, their hearts trembled.Wang Xiaoyu tried to stand up straight, but his head did not even touch the ceiling of the cave.She had been walking bent over before, but now her waist was sore and her legs were hurting, and she was extremely sad.Now that she was able to stand up straight, she was naturally elated. If it weren't for the fact that there were people looking at her, Wang Xiaoyu would have jumped up with joy.She clapped her hands and said, "Great, I can finally stand up straight!"

Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu carried shopkeeper Yin, and they could only walk forward in a half-squat, which was the hardest among the crowd.At this time, Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu said that the secret path had become taller, and the two carefully straightened their waists.Xiao Dongchu just tentatively used his head to slowly reach the top of his head, and found that it was indeed as Qi Jiu said, the secret path was much higher.Only then did he feel relieved, he felt sore all over his body, and was about to stretch his waist, but he just straightened his waist, only to hear a muffled "bang", and his head hit the ceiling of the cave.The pain was so painful that Xiao Dong screamed "Oops", and couldn't help cursing loudly: "Damn it, how dare you lie to me?!"

Xiao Dong wronged Wang Xiaoyu this time.Although Wang Xiaoyu hated Xiao Dong and wanted to get rid of Xiao Dong many times, but ever since she entered the secret path, her gaze had been on Qi Jiu who was walking in front, and she didn't think of Xiao Dong at all.Qi Jiu noticed that the secret road was becoming taller. Although he didn't walk half-squatting like before, he just straightened up a little, and he didn't stride forward without any scruples as usual.If he had stood up straight, his head would have hit the ceiling of the cave long ago.Wang Xiaoyu is slender and short, more than a head shorter than Qi Jiu, so she can stand up straight and walk.Xiao Dong's height was almost the same as Qi Jiu's, and he was walking behind Murong Danyan, the place he was in was much lower than Qi Jiu's.As a result, Xiao Dong straightened up suddenly, and his head hit the ceiling of the cave immediately.

Hearing Xiao Dong scolding herself suddenly, Wang Xiaoyu felt furious, stopped in her tracks immediately, turned her head and looked behind her, but there was darkness in front of her eyes, not to mention that she couldn't see Xiao Dong, even Murong who was walking behind her Dan Yan is also hidden in the darkness, and there is no shadow at all.So Wang Xiaoyu was taken aback, and swallowed the scolding words that came to his lips.

At this moment, Qi Jiu suddenly said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be careful, there seems to be no way ahead!"

When Li Qiufeng and others heard Qi Jiu's words, their hearts trembled, and they all stopped.Wang Xiaoyu didn't care about arguing with Xiao Dong, so he turned around and rushed forward.

Just now she stopped and wanted to settle accounts with Xiao Dong, but Qi Jiu kept moving forward, and now she has walked two or three zhang away.Wang Xiaoyu walked five or six steps forward, only then saw Qi Jiu holding the fire folder high with his left hand, standing motionless in front of a rock.Wang Xiaoyu walked to his side and said, "Hey, why are you in a daze here?"

Qi Jiu just stared blankly at the rock in front of him, and didn't speak to Wang Xiaoyu.Wang Xiaoyu felt strange, with the light of the fire folder in Qi Jiu's hand, he saw that the rock in front of him was very flat, with very little unevenness.Under the light of Huozhezi, the surface of the rock seemed to emit a layer of cyan light. At first glance, it seemed to be facing a pool of clear water, which made people feel palpitating.

Wang Xiaoyu felt strange, and said to himself: "This rock is so strange, how can it still emit light? I have lived in Dongliao County for more than ten years, but I have never seen this kind of rock?"

Qi Jiu seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and said tremblingly, "This is not an ordinary rock, but a piece of jade!"

Wang Xiaoyu was taken aback, turned to look at Qi Jiu and said, "Jade? Although this big rock is a bit strange, how could it be jade?!"

Just as Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Qi Jiu hadn't answered, but Li Qiufeng said behind the two of them: "Brother Qi is right, this is indeed a piece of jade. It's just that there is a layer of stone on the outside, and the jade inside has not been passed through." We can't see the real face of jade. But the jade is not exposed, and the light has faintly diffused through the stone body. It can be seen that this is a high-quality uncut jade. There are many uncut jades in the world, but such a big one is It is unique and can be said to be a rare treasure."

It turned out that Wang Xiaoyu rushed forward quickly, and Murong Danyan was afraid that she would be in danger if she was reckless, so he also quickened his pace to follow.Xiao Dong walked behind Murong Danyan, afraid that Wang Xiaoyu would find the escape hole and abandon him, so seeing Murong Danyan rushing forward, how could he lag behind?Then he also dragged the wooden frame and trotted forward to chase after him.In the blink of an eye, several people were behind Wang Xiaoyu and Qi Jiu.Seeing this stone wall emitting a dark blue light under the light of the fire fold, everyone was terrified.

Qi Jiu grew up in the military camp since he was a child. He is martial by nature, and he rides horses and shoots arrows with his father every day. He doesn't like jade and jewelry.Only when he was 13 years old, a naval warship intercepted a smuggling merchant ship at sea, and found a piece of uncut jade the size of the Eight Immortals Table on board, which can be said to be a priceless treasure.Although the officers and soldiers of the navy rule the roost at sea, they are not strong on land.Fearing that this piece of uncut jade would be taken away by others after it was returned to the land, the naval officer escorted it to the Commander's Yamen of Dengzhou Guards. The four families joined hands to take care of it.That night, Qi Jiu and his father saw the uncut jade in the yamen, under the light of the candle, the uncut jade emitted a faint blue light, and it looked like this.It's just that compared with this stone wall, the piece of uncut jade that Qi Jiu had seen was naturally insignificant.
