"Wait until I rescue the people, and you will come with me to meet Pei Yi. Long Batian, you go in the opposite direction, lead the people away, and then take him with you to meet us at the back mountain."
Liu Qiaoer pointed to a place and said, "This is the way to the back mountain. There must be a trap. Long Batian, you go in first. Their trap is easy for you to break. Let's wait for me to restore the trap. No one else can get in."
Liu Qiaoer quickly developed a plan to rescue people.
He changed his clothes and put on a soft armor that was impervious to swords and guns.
Yun Zheng was still a little worried: "There are a lot of people here right now, they are having a wedding today..."
Liu Qiao'er was not worried at all: "It is precisely because they are having a wedding that they will not go to the main room. If we go any later, we will run out of time. Let's go."
At the critical moment, Liu Qiaoer was still very decisive.
According to Liu Qiaoer's plan, they first came to where Pei Yi was. She asked Pei Yi to guard on the roof. In addition to giving him a musket, she also gave him a crossbow.
If Pei Yi could use long-range shooting, Liu Qiaoer would like to give him the most advanced equipment in the space.
Liu Qiaoer pulled Zhao Yangxu and continued walking towards the main courtyard, where more and more people gathered.
Fortunately, Liu Qiaoer and Yun Zheng were dressed as guards and were holding Zhao Yangxu with them.
No one suspected anything and thought that it was Lord Lu who sent someone to find the fool Zhao Yangxu and bring him to the wedding.
Turning to the backyard of the main courtyard, there were fewer and fewer people.
The place for receiving guests is the hall in the front yard.
At this time, the bride had already been married. There were many etiquettes in ancient times. At this time, the worship ceremony was being held, and people in the backyard also went to watch.
Even those who needed to stay behind were absent-minded.
Liu Qiaoer brought Zhao Yangxu to the main courtyard openly.
Yun Zheng took advantage of the situation and hid on the beam of the main courtyard.
"Who is it?" There were still people watching in the main courtyard.
Liu Qiaoer took a closer look and found that it was an acquaintance: "Dongzhi?"
Dongzhi was Princess Mingxin's personal maid, and now she has become the housekeeper. She is in her forties and has gray hair.
She was slightly startled when she heard someone calling her name: "Who are you?"
Liu Qiao'er pulled the silly Zhao Yangxu. Dongzhi glanced behind her and frowned: "Why did you bring him here on such a happy day?"
Liu Qiaoer snorted coldly: "On such a happy day, why can't the Third Prince come?"
Dongzhi's eyes showed fear. For more than 20 years, anyone who knew the identity of this fool was gone. The person in front of her was so young, how did she know the identity of this fool
"Who are you?" Dongzhi said as he was about to resort to violence.
With a swish, Liu Qiaoer drew out the soft sword from her waist and placed it on Dongzhi's neck.
"Take me to the dungeon."
Liu Qiaoer didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here. Since Dongzhi was here, she didn't have to bother finding the entrance.
Dongzhi didn't expect that the other party was young, had powerful martial arts skills, and knew a lot.
He had no choice but to take Liu Qiaoer into the inner room.
Liu Qiao'er's cold sword cut a bloody mark on Dongzhi's neck: "Don't try to play tricks, I can kill you at any time."
Dongzhi took a deep breath and turned a vase beside him.
With a "boom", the bookshelf opened, revealing a dark room filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
Dong Zhi glanced at Liu Qiaoer, thinking that Liu Qiaoer would be jealous of the jewels in front of her. Just as he was about to make a move, he was kicked in the knee by Liu Qiaoer.
"Keep going, don't stop, or I'll kill you."
Liu Qiaoer just waved her hand lightly, and Dongzhi was surprised to find that all the jewels were gone.
Looking at Liu Qiaoer again, it was as if she had seen a ghost.
Dongzhi had no choice but to lead Liu Qiaoer and continue moving forward.
There is another mechanism. After opening it, there is a flight of stairs.
Going down the stairs is the dark room where Tuoba Xiao is being held.
After Liu Qiaoer pushed Dongzhi in, she knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
The only light in the entire dark room was the small window.
Tuoba Xiao was hanging there, his hair was gray, and he looked drowsy and lifeless.
When Liu Qiaoer saw him like that, thinking of Tuoba Xiao's former glory of being dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, her heart ached as if being cut by a knife.
"Tuoba Xiao, Tuoba Xiao, wake up, wake up."
Liu Qiaoer raised her hand and touched the veins on his neck. He was still breathing, so at least he was not dead.
Liu Qiaoer took out a hairpin and quickly opened the chain that was holding him up.
Without the iron chain, Tuoba Xiao had no support at all. His body softened and fell on Liu Qiaoer's shoulder.
Seeing Tuoba Xiao, who was so thin and light that Liu Qiaoer could pick him up, Liu Qiaoer felt a pang in her heart and tears flowed out.
"I'm sorry, Tuoba Xiao. If I had known they would do this to you, I shouldn't have left you there alone."
Tears dripped onto Tuoba Xiao's face, and he only murmured, "Qiao'er, is that you?"
Liu Qiaoer's heart ached even more, and her entire lungs ached so much that she couldn't breathe.
"It's me. I'm here to save you."
Tuoba Xiao tried hard to raise his head, as if he wanted to take a look at Liu Qiaoer's appearance, but he was too weak, and his head dropped down again after only raising it a little bit.
Liu Qiaoer took a deep breath, took out a pill from the space and stuffed it into his mouth, then took out a large backpack strap, wrapped Tuoba Xiao up, carried him behind her, and tied it tightly around her waist.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Tuoba Xiao, I will take you away from here, you just hold on. Whoever hurt you like this, I will definitely avenge you."
Liu Qiaoer strode up to Dongzhi, grabbed her neck and pushed her against the wall.
Two slaps woke her up: "Tell me, who hurt him like this? How did they get out of the secret realm? What did they do after they got out?"
After a lot of hesitation, Dongzhi finally told the whole story.
It turned out that in the last level, after Liu Qiaoer entered the central space, everyone woke up outside the secret realm.
As for what happened in the secret realm, they seemed to have collective amnesia and remembered nothing.
Lu Yunzheng's guard Qi Yuan came to tell them that the emperor knew they had entered the secret realm and wanted to kill them, so they began to flee north.
Tuoba Xiao was unwilling to go with them. Liu Qiaoer was missing, and he wanted to find her, but was accidentally shot by a hidden arrow from Princess Mingxin.
So, the third prince Zhao Yangxu led them all the way to Wengcheng. Although this silver mine was discovered by Lu Yunzheng, Zhao Yangxu had spies in Lu Yunzheng's army.
His men occupied the silver mine.
Who knew that Princess Mingxin rescued the former prince from somewhere? After all, they grew up together. The former prince passed away not long after being rescued.
So, Princess Mingxin took care of the former Crown Princess and her son, and established Fu Yumen in the name of her son, attempting to compete with Zhao Ziyu.
As for Lu Yunzheng, Dongzhi said that he didn't remember a woman named Liu Qiaoer at all.
After Dongzhi finished speaking, he looked at Liu Qiaoer in confusion.
"I heard that Liu Qiao'er is a demon girl who can live forever. The emperor asked them to go to the secret realm to find a way to live forever. Are you... are you Liu Qiao'er?"
Liu Qiaoer sneered evilly: "You know too much..."
