Qining didn't expect that there was a cave underneath. He was not familiar with the terrain here, and he didn't know where to go next. He held up the fire folder and walked along the underground river.
The range of Huozhezi's light was limited, but Qining looked around and found that the underground grotto was obviously not dug manually, but had existed for a long time. Even the river seemed to have been obviously formed.
The underground grottoes were rugged with strange rocks, and only the two sides of the underground river were slightly flat. Qining held up the fire folder and walked forward for a moment. There was nothing special except that it was still a stone, and he didn’t know where the underground river was leading to. , walked for a while, and suddenly, they heard a faint cry, the sound seemed to be absent. If Qining's hearing was not amazing, he would not have been able to hear the sound.
Qining tensed up, wondering why there were cries coming from this underground grotto? He took out the cold blade, held the cold blade in one hand, and held up the fire stick with the other. He listened carefully and felt that the sound was not far in front. At that moment, he cautiously moved forward. After walking for a while, he discovered that there was a place under the rock wall on the side. The crack, which could accommodate at most two people, looked like it had been split open with an ax by an ancient god.
He moved closer and could hear clearly that the faint crying was coming from there.
At this time, he even judged that the cry seemed to be a woman's voice. He was curious and then thought that there were many Nanyang women on the island. Could it be that he accidentally stumbled into the place where those Nanyang women were imprisoned?
He held the knife tightly, extinguished the fire, stepped sideways into the gap, and slowly touched inside. The gap was only four or five meters long. After passing through the gap, Qining clearly felt as if he had entered a place. In a relatively spacious place, the woman's cry could be heard in his ears. Although everything was dark, Qining could still use his outstanding eyesight to roughly see a figure not far away.
He held his breath, calmed down, and scanned the darkness with his eyes, and found that there seemed to be only one person inside. He was a little surprised. Suddenly, he thought of something and whispered: "Is... is it Madam?"
As soon as his voice rang out, he vaguely saw the figure shrinking inside, and then heard a voice saying: "You... you let me go, you and I... have no enmity with you, why... why do you want to harm me? "
Hearing that voice, Qining was overjoyed. He took a deep breath and immediately stepped forward and said, "It's me, madam!" But he had already heard that the voice was none other than Tian Xuerong, the owner of Tian's Medicine Store.
"You...who are you?" Mrs. Tian was in a difficult situation, trapped in this dark place. For a weak woman, she was naturally frightened, and she could not recognize Qining's voice for a while.
Qi Ning took out the fire stick and blew it brightly. When the fire light came on, Qi Ning saw Tian Xuerong huddled in the corner. The moment the fire light came on, Mrs. Tian was extremely frightened. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Qi Ning. , but Qining had already determined from her clothes and body outline that this was Tian Xuerong. He looked around and found that this was indeed a small grotto, with stalactites hanging upside down like sharp knives hanging above. The rocks were rugged, and this grotto It's quite cold inside.
Looking at Tian Xuerong again, I saw that her legs were tied and her arms were tied behind her back. Not far from the side, there were two water bags.
Qining knew that Mrs. Tian must have been frightened like never before. He walked over slowly and squatted down in front of Mrs. Tian. Thinking that he still had a mask on his face, he took off the mask and then took off the mask. Looking at Tian Xuerong, she said softly: "Madam, it's me, don't be afraid, I'm Qining!"
The madam's delicate body trembled. When she heard Qi Ning's voice, she slowly raised her head, and her beautiful face was revealed. Her eyes were full of fear. When she saw Qi Ning's face clearly, He was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "I... I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Qin Ning didn't waste any time. He first cut the rope binding her legs with his cold blade, then turned to the back and cut the rope binding her arms. Only then did he reach Madam De, and saw the stain on her beautiful face. Her hair was covered with dirt, her hair was messy, and even her clothes were not neat. However, the beautiful woman's eyes were filled with tears. Qin Ning felt pity in his heart. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the woman's tears with his thumb. At this time, Mrs. Tian could no longer control it. Unable to hold on, she suddenly threw herself into Qi Ning's arms. Qi Ning hugged his wife with one hand and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."
"I... I thought I would never see you again." Madam's plump and soft body was still trembling. Seeing Qi Ning in such a place, not only did she feel like she had survived a desperate situation, but she also had many complicated emotions. Time came together, and at this time, he didn't think about any scruples at all. He put his arms around Qining's neck, as if he was worried that Qining would disappear as soon as he let go.
Qining could understand Madam's current state of mind, patted Madam on her jade back, and said comfortingly: "I am in front of you now, everything is over."
After a moment, Madam seemed to realize something, and let go of her hand. Feeling a little embarrassed, Qining asked softly: "Is there anything uncomfortable on you?"
The lady moved for a moment, then let out a soft "Ouch" and frowned: "I... my legs are so numb...!"
Qi Ning said: "You haven't moved for a long time, so the blood flow is not smooth, so there is no big problem." He stood up, inserted the fire stick into a small gap in the rock wall, then squatted down next to his wife, and said softly: "I'll help you smoothen the blood."
The madam looked at Qi Ning and hummed softly. Qin Ning carefully lifted one of the madam's legs with both hands, straightened the leg, and then straightened the other leg of the madam in the same way. Then he looked at the madam and said, "I'm sorry! "Now he wrapped his hands around the lady's breasts and pushed and pulled her up and down to help her activate blood circulation.
The lady's legs were round and elastic. She was a little embarrassed to be pushed up and down by Qin Ning, but Qin Ning's manipulation made her feel that the soreness and numbness before was much better.
"Master Marquis, you...how did you get here?" The lady said softly: "Here...what exactly is this place?"
Qining knew that Madam would not be able to move here for a long time. Although her blood was replenished, she might not be able to walk immediately. He looked at Madam and said, "This is an island in the East China Sea."
"Island?" Madam frowned and understood: "Yes, I... When I was on the boat, I heard the sound of the waves. It turned out... It turned out that it was really on the island." Then she said: "But why did they ... Why did you arrest me here? Is it... was the Lu family behind this? "
She knew that she had a dispute with the Lu family at the Donghai Medicine Trade Fair, and Qi Ning even beat up Lu Ziheng in public. The Lu family must have hated herself and Qi Ning deeply. They did not dare to attack Qi Ning, but she was weak. Women naturally became the target of their revenge.
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "According to my judgment, they shouldn't have done it this time. They don't have the courage yet." Looking into Madam's eyes, he said softly: "It was me who got you involved this time. The other party is not doing it for you, but for you." They wanted to use you to lure me to this island. They knew that if you were in their hands, I would definitely try their best to find you and deliberately left clues to lead me here."
Tian Xuerong's beautiful face turned slightly pale: "Master Hou, you... were you deceived by them to come here?" She is not an ordinary woman, she has a very shrewd mind. As soon as Qi Ning said it, she understood the key and couldn't help herself with one hand. Jin grabbed Qining's arm: "Then...how many people did you bring here?"
"Besides me, there is one other person." Qining said, "I'm about to go over and meet him."
Tian Xuerong was even more surprised and said: "Just... just the two of you? Mr. Hou, you... how could you risk your life for me? What... if there is something wrong with you, what should you do?"
Seeing her concern overflowing from her words, Qi Ning felt warm in his heart and said softly: "Not to mention that you are implicated because of me, even if it really has nothing to do with me, I will not ignore it. I told you, as long as you When you encounter danger, I will always be by your side. As a man, you must always keep your word. Don't say that this is just a small island. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will take care of you."
Tian Xuerong lowered her head and said softly: "Master Hou, you... you do this to me, how can I repay you...!" But her voice was already choked with emotion.
Tian Xuerong has always had a clear understanding of her position. She knew that the gap between her and Qining's status was too big. From the moment she noticed that Qining seemed to have a crush on her, she was sure that the young prince just liked her. She is just a charming beauty. She has seen this kind of thing a lot, and she knows that in Qining's eyes, she is nothing more than a plaything.
Although what Qi Ning did after that made her change a lot, she never thought that Qi Ning really liked her.
But this time Qining ignored her noble status and went into danger alone, which naturally filled her heart with unspeakable emotions. After all, even ordinary people may not be able to rescue others regardless of their own safety, let alone a person with high status. The noble Marquis.
Seeing the dirt on her face, Qi Ning couldn't help but reach out and wanted to wipe away the dirt on her face. He was about to touch it, but for some reason, he stopped. Tian Xuerong felt something, raised his head slightly, and saw Qin Ning's face. A hand was right next to her cheek, but she didn't touch it. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared. Her long eyelashes flickered slightly. She suddenly raised her hand and held it. Qining's hand was gently brought over and placed on his face.
Qi Ning was a little surprised, but when he saw the misty and charming eyes, he understood the woman's gratitude to him. He showed a smile and gently stroked the lady's face with a finger. Although there were stains on her face, the lady Her skin was still firm and smooth, Qining said softly: "Are you afraid now?"
The lady shook her head lightly and whispered: "When you are by my side, I... I am not afraid of anything."
This woman has a delicate face, but there is a hint of charm in her charm, especially her pair of charming mist-like eyes, which naturally has a soul-stirring charm. Although she is in a difficult situation, she is all the same. Ning looked at those charming eyes, but still couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed the madam on her lips. The madam didn't resist at all this time. She raised a jade arm and hooked Qi Ning's neck, responding to Qi Ning. Ning's gentle kiss.
