The long eyelashes trembled slightly, Lu Qingtang opened his eyes, his dull eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth was blocked by a rag.
She tried to move, but found that her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were tied up. She was lying on the ground like a squirming insect.
She pressed her head against the ground and bent her knees at the same time. It took her a long time to get up from the ground. She knelt on the uneven rocks, her knees hurting, so Lu Qingtang changed to sit diagonally.
The surroundings of the dark hole made it difficult for her to tell where she was. She could vaguely smell the smell of moist earth and the faint aroma of grass in the air. There was a low sound of wind blowing by his ears, and Lu Qingtang couldn't help but shrank, and his whole body was covered with goosebumps. At the same time, a sense of fear crept into my heart, and all the internal organs in my chest were trembling.
This is where?
Who are those people who cover their mouths and noses, and what are they doing to themselves?
The innocent and lovely smiling faces of the three babies flashed in my mind, and then they burst into tears, especially Mo Bao, who cried the most. I cried until my eyes and nose were red, I was out of breath and my voice was hoarse.
Lu Qingtang didn't dare to think about it any more, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
No, she can't just sit there and wait for death!
She began to twist her hands so that with a few more movements, she could break away from the rope.
She didn't know how many times she moved, but the rope in her hand became a little loose, which gave her hope. But the hemp rope rubbed against the delicate wrist, and soon the skin of the wrist was torn, and the wrist was burning with pain.
Enduring the pain, Lu Qingtang continued to twist her hands, and finally she was able to free one hand. She felt a sense of relief.
After removing the rag gagged in her mouth, Lu Qingtang began to untie the ropes on her feet. Her worn wrists made her tremble in pain, and cold sweat broke out on her back. With the light projected from the cave entrance, Lu Qingtang fumbled to remove the rope from his feet.
With her hands and feet freed, Lu Qingtang felt better. When she stood up and prepared to walk out of the cave, she suddenly heard someone talking outside.
Outside the entrance of the cave, the guard Ling Guang was squatting on the ground with his face covered, feeling worried.
The other two people stood aside, and the taller one said: "I think it would be better to kill her directly. Why leave her until now? It is the prince's order anyway."
Another short man agreed, "Yes, Ling Guang, if we disobey the prince's order, we will be punished by death. Why should we sacrifice our lives for an irrelevant person."
Ling Guang looked up at the short man and frowned: "I didn't say not to kill, but this person is not a vicious person. She is a doctor, a woman, and has three children. If you kill her, her children must be very happy." sad."
The short man lowered his head, stepped forward and patted Ling Guang on the shoulder.
He sighed, "I don't know, but we can't do anything about the prince's order. We are just working hard."
"Yes, I know this woman is a little favor to you. Who dares to disobey the prince's order!" the tall man agreed.
Ling Guang smiled helplessly, nodded, and looked up at the two men, one tall and one short.
He asked: "Would any of you go in and see if Princess Chen is awake? If she is awake, ask her what last words she has for her three children."
The tall man raised his feet and walked into the cave, "I'll go."
He said and entered the cave in a few steps.
In the darkness, he groped forward, his steady and easy footsteps echoing in the cave.
With the backlight behind him, the tall man saw the rope thrown on the ground. Just when he was about to speak, Lu Qingtang hit his head with a stone from behind.
The tall man immediately fell to the ground with a "bang", unconscious like a puddle of mud.
Lu Qingtang stared at the tall man on the ground, then turned to look at the stone in his hand. There was still blood on it, and the hand holding the stone was shaking.
This was the first time she took the initiative to attack others. Although it was to protect herself, she could not overcome the barrier of fear.
She knelt down and stretched out her hand to pull off the tall man's mask.
It was a stranger's face, nothing special about it.
With the faint light, she saw the brand on the tall man's waist. This waist brand was very familiar. Reaching out to take it off, she recognized it at a glance. It was the brand of the guards of Zhennan Palace.
The flower mark on it clearly showed the identity of the masked man. The guard this time was real.
They were all from the Zhennan Palace, and it was Ji Wuhen who sent people to kill him.
There was a burst of anger in his chest, and Lu Qingtang gritted his teeth.
She tried her best to save a single seedling in the Zhennan Palace, and she also thought about saving the Zhennan Palace, but this is what she got in exchange.
It’s really ridiculous!
After putting away the sign, Lu Qingtang took off the man's saber and continued to hide in the dark.
She shouted toward the hole, "Help!"
Soon, a burst of chaotic footsteps was heard.
Lu Qingtang, who was hiding in the dark, judged from the sound of footsteps that there were probably two people coming, and they were both powerful masters. How could she escape with her three-legged cat skills?
The hand holding the saber felt a little sticky, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
She looked at the two people who came in from the outside, one tall and one short. The taller one was more muscular, while the short one was slimmer.
They looked at the tall man on the ground with blood on his head. They were stunned at first and then became alert again.
At this moment, Lu Qingtang, who was hiding in the dark, took the lead in slashing the short man's body with his saber.
The short man turned around subconsciously after hearing the sound, and bumped into Lu Qingtang's stabbing edge.
Blood spurted out and hit Lu Qingtang's hands, face, and heart.
At that moment, she panicked. It was the first time she had killed someone so directly. It was like stabbing someone without any clue during surgery.
The short masked man looked straight at Lu Qingtang with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face. His exposed eyes were full of fear, so the pupils narrowed slightly, but as he lost consciousness, the pupils began to expand.
Soon, the short man fell to the ground, but Lu Qingtang still maintained his murderous movements. As the man fell to the ground, Lu Qingtang realized what he was doing.
She retracted her saber and pointed it at the remaining Ling Guang.
Ling Guang looked at his dead brother and instinctively became angry. He drew the sword from his waist and struck at Lu Qingtang. Lu Qingtang dodged and attacked with the knife in his hand.
She was not good at using swords, so she was no match for the first-class guard Ling Guang, and was quickly defeated. There were cuts all over her legs and arms. The pain made her sweat all over and she couldn't even hold the knife in her hand.
With a "crash", she fell to the ground, and the knife in her hand also fell to the ground.
