When Su Mu cautiously bypassed the guards' sight and successfully came to the roof of the shanty house, through the dim light that penetrated into the house through the broken roof, Su Mu immediately confirmed that the people in the house had already entered the secret passage.
But at this moment, Su Mu was not in a hurry either.
After all, the entourage of that person were all official knights above the Chinese character level. Although Su Mu was not afraid of ordinary knights, he did not want to entangle them too much.
The night was silent, and Nightingale cried slightly.
The brilliance of the scarlet blood moon was still so pink and lovely amidst the layers of white mist permeating the imperial capital.
But in the cuteness, there is still a deeper danger.
I don't know how long it took, even the guarded knights who were entoured began to be bored and less vigilant, and even started talking in a low voice during the college exchange meeting a few days ago.
With a light creak, a closet in the shanty suddenly opened.
Behind the dilapidated and rudimentary wall cabinets, there turned out to be a cumbersome and sturdy alchemy gate, and a dark corridor behind the gate.
The leader of the horse team that came out of the closet subconsciously reprimanded the guard who was talking quietly, and then turned and closed the alchemy gate with a dissatisfaction, and then walked directly out of the hut and stepped on his horse.
Seeing this, the guards who had previously talked with each other didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and quickly stopped and left.
No one noticed that at the moment when the leader turned and reprimanded his subordinates, a dark figure that was not easily noticed had already sneaked into the alchemy gate.
Already walking along the dark corridor towards an unknown secret place.
…
As the alchemy gate behind him closed, the last ray of light in the corridor was also lost.
Of course Su Mu did not have the night vision ability, but today Su Mu did not dare to light up the light source at will.
So today's Su Mu simply released a little bit of Qi energy in his body, turning the Qi energy into tentacles, and walked carefully toward the depths of the secret road.
The secret road that twists and turns down is safer than Su Mu had imagined.
There is neither a five-step guard, nor a ten-step hidden weapon.
But about this, Su Mu himself thought too much.
Because the place that this secret path leads to is originally a place where people will come to inspect it, and in the final analysis, it is also a certain location that the entire emperor knows.
It's neither terrifying nor mysterious.
With Su Mu being extra careful, he finally came to the end of the passage. At this time, what appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes was like a whole pool of scarlet lava.
And in the space beside the lava, like a natural cave, there was a hideous sleeping dragon locked with huge runes and steel cables.
And on some ground in that lava, there are countless large and exaggerated eggs.
There is no doubt that it is the so-called dragon egg.
And this place in front of him is also the hotbed of the dragon that Su Tong once mentioned.
The place where Qin Wudi was trapped now was obviously an unknown corner of the dragon's hotbed.
At this time, as Su Mu instantly understood where he was in front of him, Su Mu's eyes quickly swept across the patches of scarlet lava, looking for the true location of the target person.
But what made Su Muwei regret was that Qin Wudi was still not found wherever he could see.
As for the coveted epee Shuangzha, it was like discarded rubbish, and it was left at a certain position on the side of the cave at will.
…
But at this moment, since Su Mu had confirmed that there were no other people in Zhou Jin, he was naturally no longer so cautious. He had already quickly stepped into the lava cave with the light provided by the lava.
Although Su Mu could not be sure, Qin Wudi must be in this space.
But since the others didn't take Shuang away, considering it as a common sense, they should only restrict Qin Wudi's freedom, and would not specifically destroy Shuang here.
Sure enough, when Su Mu really got close to Shuangdai, an extremely astonishing scene was suddenly presented to Su Mu.
I saw that amidst the rolling lava, someone used unknown refractory materials to successfully cast a cage comparable to a human body.
As for the cage itself, only one-fifth of the upper half was exposed out of the lava, and the rest was completely submerged in the lava.
Obviously, it was for the sake of making him suffer from lava fire all the time.
And the person trapped in the cage now is also the target of Su Mu's arrival... Qin Wudi!
Seeing this, Su Mu subconsciously wanted to smash the cage and release Qin Wudi first.
The sharp flame blade candle shadow was already aroused from Su Mu's hands again.
However, just before Su Mu started his hand, after feeling the sharp sword aura that appeared out of thin air, he used all his energy to wrap his body without being corroded by Qin Wudi, but it was only then that he noticed Su Mu's arrival.
However, Qin Wudi was not surprised when he saw Su Mu in front of him.
Instead, he spoke quickly and decisively declared:
"I can break the cage myself, but the problem is that once I break this cage, the people who detain me here will know immediately."
"So what you need to help me solve first is to bring my sister Qin Wulian outside the imperial capital. As long as she succeeds in breaking away from the royal control, I will naturally escape here on my own."
…
Qin Wudi's way of speaking was more direct than Su Mu expected.
And through his few words, based on Su Mu's wisdom, the outline of the whole thing has actually been clearly shown in front of Su Mu's eyes.
But Su Mu himself, after all, is also a person who doesn't like to play cards according to common sense.
Even if Su Mu had returned to the empire, his actions and behaviors now also showed that Su Mu was sincere in trying to help in this matter.
However, in the face of Qin Wudi's decisiveness, Su Mu softly questioned:
"But, what is my advantage?"
"Or, what can I get from it?"
Su Mu's help to Qin Wudi, of course, did not come from the sympathy of the swordsmen, nor did it come from the pity or sympathy for Qin Wudi.
There is no benefit, and Su Mu is obviously not willing to take this risk.
And this benefit also requires Qin Wudi's personal consent first, so that Su Mu can continue to act without hesitation.
"I will tell you the most secret things about the empire."
Without any hesitation, Qin Wudi immediately threw out the condition in his heart.
But Su Mu was not very satisfied with Qin Wudi's answer. On the contrary, looking at Qin Wudi's Qi Neng coat used to fight the lava, he added kindly and indifferently:
"I know that the emperor of your country is the chosen one, and I also know the dark bards behind him, so the so-called imperial secrets in your mouth are probably not secrets at all."
Qin Wudi was taken aback when he heard the words, and obviously did not expect that Su Mu had already known all this.
However, Qin Wudi is Qin Wudi after all. Facing the bargaining chip he expected to lose its effectiveness, Qin Wudi did not hesitate at all, and directly stated the second condition in his heart.
And the value of this condition is obviously higher than the former by many times:
"After it's done, I will be your sword!"
…
Qin Wudi was obviously a person in essence, not a real sword.
But there is no doubt that after Qin Wudi personally admitted that he would turn into a sword, and the moment he blurted out that sentence, even Su Mu was moved by the sharp momentum that went up to the sky.
This is Qin Wudi's final hole card, and it is also the exchange method he is most familiar with.
Taking self as a sword is Qin Wudi's ultimate method.
However, what even Qin Wudi didn't expect was that, in the face of his sharp final answer, Su Mu shook his head lightly before continuing:
"I don't want a sword, I want a man. The sword is indeed enough, but it is obviously not sincere. The sword is not intent, but I need you to have it."
"After success, you will be you and you will be Qin Wudi. Qin Wulian is only Qin Wulian, and I will not control her life. But whether it is you or your sister, you will all become my subordinates. . Become the kind of person who is loyal to me and fights for me."
Su Mu's supplement obviously made Qin Wudi somewhat inexplicable.
In Qin Wudi's eyes, it seemed that there was no essential difference between becoming the sword in Su Mu's hand or the person holding the sword for Su Mu.
After all, in Qin Wudi's opinion, whether it is Yang Zimu, who seems to be the emperor's favorite, or himself, who has never been liked by the emperor, it is the difference between a monster and a hunting dog.
In essence, they are all animals raised by that person.
However, Su Mu didn't explain too much about this, but suddenly talked about his plan.
"Give me two days. I need two days to arrange for Qin Wulian to be sent out of the imperial capital. And in the middle of the night after two days, you can tear your defenses and rush out of here."
"The final meeting point is in the silver snow forest thirty miles outside the city. I have already left the sword aura as a mark over there. I must be able to find it after you arrive."
"But the most important thing is that if I don’t get there in two days, you will take Qin Wulian and leave first. At the border between the empire and the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu, my fiancee will take the elders of your clan with you. Where is Qin Dong waiting, what happens after that depends on their arrangements."
Regarding Su Mu's explanation, Qin Wudi remembered it in his heart very quickly.
Before Su Mu could repeat the plan, Qin Wudi had already confirmed it in a deep voice.
But at this moment, as Su Mu was about to flee, he gave a detailed narrative to Qin Wudi before him. What Qin Wudi really puzzled was about another part of this plan:
"How can you guarantee that we will follow your arrangements after we escape?"
Su Mu smiled when he heard the words, and finally came back to the question about people and swords, seemingly indifferent, and once again said a sentence that Qin Wudi still couldn't really understand:
"I am actually a gambler, and I am still a gambler who does not need a sword, so it was originally a gamble. The bet is... Can you change from a sword back to a person!" ()
