At this moment in verse 24, a burst of sunlight came in, and the two of them could barely open their eyes. The door opened, and Lao Jin flashed in from outside, and whispered: "We have prepared the princess's meal, Lord Wu, it will be up to you and Miss Xiaobi later, I wish you success immediately." ”

In the dark, he stood with his back lit, but there was a great look in his eyes when he looked at the two of them. Sun Yunlong asked him to organize this rescue operation, I'm afraid this old man is not as simple as it seems. Just thinking about it, Xiaobi rushed forward with a big stride and snatched the food box in his hand: "Got it, Jin Lao." Then he turned his head: "Let's go, uncle." ”

Wu Ming sighed secretly in his heart, and the two of them stepped out of the house with a food box.

According to the route they had given, the chamber where the princess was imprisoned was a man-made cave in the innermost part of the villa, and it was a little distance from here.

The two walked silently all the way, and the ground in the villa was also paved with bluestone, but tall weeds had already emerged from the cracks in the stones. The grass grows in a mess, which is more like Wu Ming's mood now. Looking at the hole that was getting closer and closer to him, he almost trembled as he stepped up the stone steps.

Xiaoling, are you okay?

Xuanyuan Ling's happy and disgusted face seemed to appear in front of him again.

The steps are smooth and delicate, and they are made of white marble. It should have been many years, and most of the carvings on it have been blurred, and some moss has grown in the cracks, so that the soft white reveals a little green. The afternoon sun was not too strong, but Wu Ming felt a dry mouth.

This staircase was walked in a few steps, and there was a long corridor inside, like a deep ancient well. He glanced at the countless closed portals in the corridor. Frowning, he and Xiaobi cautiously walked into the innermost.

The innermost part was the door, with a huge iron ring on it, and he put his hand on it. When he was about to knock on the iron door with trembling hands, the door suddenly opened silently, and he was so startled that he almost heard his own heartbeat, and the door was not closed.

"I've said how many times that I don't have a good appetite lately and don't want to eat. Don't send it again in the future! ”

The voice was lazy and ethereal, as if it could fly away at any moment. Wu Ming's heart trembled, pushed open the door, and then walked in.

It was a stone chamber on which the candles on the candlesticks jumped vigorously, emitting a red, yellow, red, and yellow light. The room was very basic, just a bed and then a table. A bronze mirror is placed on it, revealing the gender of the owner of the cell. Xuanyuan Ling was sitting with his back to the door, staring at the bronze mirror in a daze.

Wu Ming grabbed Xiao Bi, who was about to pounce, and tried his best to make his tone calm: "How can I do without eating, otherwise, where will the strength come from to go out?" ”

Xuanyuan Ling's thin shoulders trembled, and he muttered, "Is this a dream?" As he spoke, he slowly turned around.

When they turned around, the two of them were already staring at each other. Wu Ming's heart trembled, he hadn't seen her for a whole year, and this little girl had lost a lot of weight. The original ruddy little face had shed its blood, and it showed an abnormal dimness in the candlelight. Maybe it's thin, so a pair of eyes appear bigger, and at this time they are looking at the two people who walked in dumbfounded.

Wu Ming put the food box in his hand on the ground, then took off the straw hat on his head, and said as he walked: "This is not a dream, Xiaoling, are you okay?" ”

"Brother, you're finally here......"

Tears were already flowing from Xuanyuan Ling's eyes, and a pair of thin shoulders trembled even more. Wu Ming's heart hurt, he took a few steps, stepped forward to hug her, and muttered, "Yes, Xiaoling, I'm here......"

He was a little hesitant, not knowing how to comfort the other party, and only whispered after a while: "You are usually afraid of the dark, and besides, why don't you close the door?" Xuanyuan Ling is very afraid of the dark, whenever night falls, she likes to light dozens of candlesticks in her bedroom, and then close the doors and windows, and the whole bedroom is like day. Because of this, neither the prince nor Wu Ming had made fun of her before.

Xuanyuan Ling raised his head, his eyes were full of tears: "Brother, you are right, once the night falls on this world, it is useless to light more candles. After a pause, she turned her head to look at Wu Ming, and her tears couldn't stop flowing: "You and the prince's brother promised me that they would definitely come back to see me." I've been keeping this iron door open for the past year, because I'm sure you'll come back to pick me up and push it open......"

Her skin was fair and smooth, almost like a handicraft. Wu Ming looked at the tears on her long eyelashes, but there was a tingling pain in his heart, and he was speechless.

At this point, there was nothing to say.

Xuanyuan Ling's body was as soft as a soft white cloud, but this thin cloud was trembling, making people feel pity. Hugging her gently, Wu Ming raised his head and looked blankly at the roof. The years go by, and it's another year in the blink of an eye. Last year, it was probably this time, and the wind was very strong. The prince is standing on a parade ground on the outskirts of Kyoto. Talking impassionedly, the wind was very strong, and his voice was in a trance. Xuanyuan Ling also lay in his arms as he did now, and muttered: "Brother, you have to come back early, Ling'er is waiting for you in Kyoto......"

……

Now, I'm finally back. But already beyond recognition. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty and the crown prince both died. And she was confined by Li Tie in this stone house for a whole year, which was a big blow to her mind. This girl who is only seventeen years old has long lost her previous agility and coquettishness in her tone.

In this year, not only many lives have been lost, but also many things worth remembering.

Xiaobi was already in tears, and she shouted in a trembling voice: "Princess......" Before the words fell, there was a sudden chaos outside. Someone outside banged a gong and shouted, "Oh no, there's a fire in the kitchen." An Assassin has broken in. "Wu Ming woke up with a spirit, could it be that Tian Hong and the others have already done it?

During the operation, the two sides agreed that if nothing could be done, they would create chaos outside, and then rush out with the princess and Xiaobi. It's just that now things haven't reached that point, they have launched, are they exposed? But at this time, he couldn't think much about it, he quickly stood up, pulled Xuanyuan Ling, who was sitting in front of the bed, and said, "Xiao Ling, rush out with me while the chaos is in chaos." ”

Xuanyuan Ling's face also changed, and he stood up with Wu Ming's momentum. Dai frowned and said, "I'm afraid not, my long corridor looks completely defenseless, but those closed portals are full of ironwood people." As soon as I leave the induction of this bronze mirror, these monsters will all rush out of it. It's almost impossible to break out. ”

Ironwood? No wonder the other party didn't send a person to guard it, but there was such a thing. Wu Ming frowned. He had heard this iron and wood man mentioned by Lu Fang, and it was the secret of the Black Iron Gate. Liu Ze's agriculture, industry, water conservancy, machinery and manufacturing, etc., are all refined, but they still fall behind when they compete with the Ministry of Industry in the north. The fundamental reason is that Yiguan will be a unique job of pressing the bottom of the box. So every time they competed, Yi Guan won him steadily.

Machines include induction and the like, I saw it last time Wu Ming went to visit Liu Ze, and I only felt that it was really amazing. And the Tiemu people also went to the post house last time to secretly see Lin Yinghuan once. This thing makes the Dao Yun of the ninth stage of the Dao Yun very dignified, and it must be difficult to entangle. Before leaving, Sun Yunlong said that there were many organs inside, and repeatedly told himself not to be reckless, which is probably the ironwood man he was referring to.

But at this point, it's futile to think too much. Wu Ming pulled out the red night first, and said proudly: "You follow, I will meet this legendary strange thing." As he spoke, he stepped out of the iron gate and stepped into the corridor. Xiao Bi pulled Xuanyuan Ling and rushed out of the iron gate. Wu Ming showed his red night, pointed at Yongdao who had no reaction and said with a smile: "It seems that this machine bracket technique also needs someone to control it, otherwise how could it be that there is still no sound until now?" As soon as the words fell, I heard a "rumbling" sound in the corridor, and the closed portals opened at the same time, and then countless giants rushed out of them.

Yunyou poets describe people as tall, and many say that this person is "eight feet long" and the like. It can be seen that ordinary eight-foot-tall people are considered giants, but almost all of these ironwood people are more than a foot tall. More than a dozen ironwood men came out of the way, blocking the corridor, there was really an impenetrable posture, and even the sunlight outside was tightly blocked. Xuanyuan Ling's face was like ashes, and he muttered, "This is this thing." "Apparently she had thought about running away before, but she had enough of it.

Wu Ming turned his head and was about to comfort her. Xuanyuan Ling and Xiaobi lost their faces at the same time, and exclaimed, "Be careful. His heart shook, and he only felt a sharp roar in his back, a strong wind, and something was attacking from behind. Needless to say, it was the Ironwood who came from behind. These things are so huge, it must be a loss to fight them hard, Wu Ming could have dodged this fatal blow with just a flash, but there were two girls standing behind him, and there was no way to retreat.

It was too late, and he gritted his steel teeth at the moment. The feet were wrong, and the person also slid diagonally two feet away. With a stretch of his right hand, he slashed at what was coming from behind him. Reaching out was a giant palm of the Ironwood Man, which was similar to a human hand, but five or six times the size of a human hand. The whole elbow was swarthy, and even thicker and longer. Wu Ming's sword slashed right on the elbow of this giant palm, only to hear a crisp sound of "ding", sparks splashed in the entire corridor, and Chixiao had already embedded the entire elbow. But the palm of the iron and wood man did not affect it at all, and he still had no momentum, and grabbed the two women directly.

"Princess, be careful." Xiao Bi was startled and pushed Xuanyuan Ling away. The pair of giant palms had already grabbed Xiao Bi straight towards with the momentum of wind and thunder. Wu Ming was also shocked by this shock, and his chest was uncomfortable. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary weapons will definitely be broken in two with a full blow from Chixiao, but the tenacity of the Temu people is really beyond his expectations. Chixiao was embedded in the entire elbow of the ironman, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. At this time, one of the giant palms of the Temu man could touch Xiaobi's chest. He roared, couldn't care about Chixiao anymore, silently used the Tai Chi Method, and pulled out a thousand jun in four or two, towards this huge elbow.

In a hurry, it just fits the mystery of Tai Chi's "no distractions". This trust makes it even more ripe and flowing, straight like flowing water.
