Chapter 193: Lao Tzu's Happiness (13)
"Princess Jing, I know that you saved my life when you were in the court to protect Yunnan. After all, Zihan is my son. I beg you to spare his life. As long as he lives, I will repay him with death..."

Hearing this, Lu Ran hurriedly put away the dagger, went to help the old Yunnan King who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Get up quickly, I actually had selfish intentions when I tried to protect Yunnan. I don't need to kill him today, but he has to say The whereabouts of Xiliang Yu, otherwise North Vietnam and Xiliang will unite, Yu Kingdom will suffer, and the people of the world will suffer..."

The old Yunnan king looked at Luran in horror, unable to say a word.

Bai Zihan's face gradually turned pale, he looked at Luran in front of him with cold eyes, and said with disdain: "Give up, even if I die here today, I will not tell Xiliang Yu's whereabouts..."

Angrily, Mu Yuqi stepped forward and grabbed Bai Zihan's lapel, and shouted, "Even if you don't want to think about the country of Yu, don't you think about those children who lost their parents because of the war like you? Their fate is not as good as yours... ..."

Bai Zihan pushed Mu Yuqi's hand away: "Stop preaching to me here, when you were rejected by your father, didn't you feel any resentment in your heart?"

Mu Yuqi smiled bitterly: "At least I did what I should do, I'm different from you!"

Bai Zihan snorted, Luran pulled Mu Yuqi over, and said, "Stop talking nonsense to him, let's go find Xiliangyu, let's go..."

Mu Yuqi looked at the tearful old Yunnan King next to him, then at Bai Zihan who was already weak and about to faint, finally nodded, and ran out with Luran...

Luran dragged Mu Yuqi all the way to the living room.

"Where are we going?" Mu Yuqi followed Po Bian and asked panting.

"Wood carving!" Lu Ran said calmly.

"What?" Mu Yuqi asked in surprise.

"I'm talking about the wood carving of the tiger's head... don't you think it's strange?" Lu Ran turned to look at Mu Yuqi.

"You mean you have a problem with your woodcarving?" Mu Yuqi asked again.

"Yes, when I first came here, I was just curious about why the wooden carving had a tiger's head but a leopard's body, but now I suddenly remembered that it wasn't a leopard's body at all..."

"what is that?"

Luran finally dragged Mu Yuqi to the living room, and stopped in front of the wood carving...

Looking at the wood carving in front of him, Mu Yuqi suddenly had an epiphany, and said, "I understand, the tiger's body is touched for a long time, and the stripes will turn into spots, so it looks like a leopard..."

Green dye nodded, reaching out to touch.

Mu Yuqi stopped Luran's hand, looked into Luran's eyes and said, "Luran, don't move, Bai Zihan is good at using poison, let me do it..."

Lu Ran's eyes were rarely wet, she looked at Mu Yuqi and took a breath, said: "Fool, even if I die, I will be with you..."

As he said that, he put his small hand on Mu Yuqi's big hand, and motioned for Mu Yuqi and the two to go together...

There was a flash of light in Mu Yuqi's eyes, and he held Lu Ran in his arms, and the two reached for the wood carving together...

The wood-carved tiger's body felt a bit rough to the touch, and felt a bit cut to the touch. Before Luran could look away from the wood carving, he watched the mahogany screen beside him begin to move slowly, leaning towards the corner...

Luran let go of Mu Yuqi's hand, ran forward, and wanted to pull out the screen, but Mu Yuqi shouted: "Luran, don't go!"

But before he could finish speaking, Lvran had already shrunk into the corner of the wall along the edge of the screen.

Mu Yuqi didn't care about other things, stepped forward, grabbed Luran's sleeve, and fell into the abyss behind the screen with Luran...

After falling for an unknown amount of time, Lu Ran opened her eyes and found that she was already leaning against Mu Yuqi's body, and there was no light at all except for some water.

"Are you awake?" Mu Yuqi's voice sounded.

Luran sat up straight from Mu Yuqi's arms, took out the fire pocket in her sleeve, and lit it.

"Luran, don't!" Mu Yuqi yelled, and before he finished speaking, he watched a fire ignite on the water in the distance.

Surprised by Luran, he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he looked at Mu Yuqi's pale face and asked, "Why did I burn on one side and burn on the other..."

Looking at the flames still burning on the water over there, Mu Yuqi finally let out a long breath.Slowly said: "When you were unconscious, I never dared to light the fire, because I was afraid of the poisonous gas over there..."

"What? Is it burning poisonous gas?" Lu Ran was surprised.

Mu Yuqi nodded, got up slowly, and said to Lu Ran: "However, it looks like it's all right, the poisonous gas burns out in the fire, and the front direction is already safe..."

Lu Ran nodded suspiciously. From her modern thinking, it would make perfect sense to say that it is carbon monoxide, but from the thinking of an ancient Mu Yuqi, isn't it a bit confusing?

Seeing that Luran was still not moving, Mu Yuqi smiled slightly: "Who said that if you die, you will die with me? Since we can't go up, we can't just starve to death here, right?"

Mu Yuqi said it calmly, but Lu Ran really lost his temper, and hummed, "I really don't understand where your self-confidence comes from...cut."

Mu Yuqi couldn't help laughing, took Lvran's little hand, and walked towards the direction where the fire still remained...

The inside was brightly illuminated by the embers, far less scary than when he first came in, but the wall in front of the path was covered with mucus, which made Lvran feel sick when he looked at it.

After carefully observing the mucus, Mu Yuqi said softly to Lu Ran: "Try not to touch anything here, Zimo is not with us, the few antidotes we have may not be useful..."

Luran said a muffled "En.", and squeezed Mu Yuqi's hand even harder, and Mu Yuqi also squeezed Luran's little hand even harder, signaling her not to be afraid.

This road seems to have no end, and the fire light behind has not been able to reach the inside, Lu Ran dare not nod easily, she puts such a crowded path, once a fire breaks out, it is impossible to escape.

The two could barely see the road ahead, and were afraid of touching the mucus, so they basically stopped at the moment, not daring to move. Mu Yuqi looked at the darkness around him, and his breathing became more and more serious...
