Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: New Teleportation Point
Luosi still thinks it's better to wait for Kuiyi's army to safely withdraw from Yinyu City, in case she leaves and Muye doesn't release the people, then she and Tang Xiaozhe will have to run back again after running for another ten or so days to Chengfu.
Tang Xiaxia thought for a moment and agreed, saying: "Well, seeing Qu Li will also make me feel more at ease. Anyway, we won't lose anything by waiting here for another half day."
Luosi calculated the route and knew that she and Tang Xiaoxia would likely arrive at Chengfu about a month later than Tian Yu's army. The military situation was urgent, and perhaps by the time they arrived at Chengfu, the outcome of the decisive battle between the two sides would have already been decided.
Luosi thought to herself, "Could it be that Tang Xiaoxia has also made up her mind and is just pretending to support me on the surface because she knows that the battle in Chengfu has already ended?"
Luosiqi couldn't help but look at Tang Xiaoxia, only to find that he looked normal, as if he wasn't intentionally hiding anything.
The defeated army returned to the large camp outside Liujin City at noon, and it wasn't until then that Luosi Qi let the envoy, who was carrying a letter of reconciliation with the Night God Sect, head towards the imperial capital. Compared to when they had set out from the imperial capital to attack the Night God Sect, Kui Lei looked even more disheveled. Upon seeing Luosi Qi, he hastily dismounted his horse and half-knelt down to pay his respects.
Luosi saw that Quili's face was full of shame, so she comforted him with a few words. She originally wanted to ask Quili in detail about his situation when he was trapped in the Shadow City, but she felt that Quili's current state was already very bad, and if she asked him to recount his miserable experience again, it would be somewhat cruel. Moreover, since they had already reconciled with the Night God Sect, even if she didn't ask for now, it wouldn't have a big impact anyway.
Moreover, after Tang Xiaxia saw Qu Li return, she urged her to set off quickly. Luosi Qi then told Qu Li to lead the main army from behind towards Chengfu, and she and Tang Xiaxia would take a step ahead.
Kui Li agreed, telling Luosi that the soldiers below were eager to leave this ghost place in Nanzhong as soon as possible, and he reassured her that he would lead his army to meet up with her at Chengfu as soon as possible.
Next was the question of whether to ride a horse or sit in a carriage. Riding a horse would naturally be faster, but in Rosicky's view it was far from being as safe as sitting in a carriage.
Tang Xiaoxia unexpectedly said to Luosi Qi and Qu Li: "No need for horses, no need for carriages."
"Shall we go to Chengfu then?" Luosiqi thought, "Tang Xiaoxia, your fox tail is finally exposed. If you don't want to go to Chengfu, just say so. What's the point of all this fuss?" So Luosiqi's question to Tang Xiaoxia was full of sarcastic tone.
Qu Di also looked at Tang Xiao Xia with a puzzled expression. Because he couldn't understand how these two people were going to get to Cheng Fu without riding horses or taking a horse carriage.
Luosi saw Tang Xiaoxia pat the Lingyun Sword on his back with his hand, telling them that he had already learned to fly with the sword. Next time, as long as he and Luosi stood on the sword, they could fly directly to Chengfu.
"Ah?" Luosiqi didn't expect Tang Xiaoxia to give such an absurd answer. She looked at Tang Xiaoxia's Lingyun Sword, and wondered if he could really fly with it. The sword was only about the length of two people standing side by side, and its width was probably only enough for one foot to stand on.
Before Luo Siqi could question him, Tang Xiaoxia began to speak seriously to Qu Li, who was equally shocked: "Later, I will cast a spell and fly with the goddess on the sword." He pointed at the Pi Xue Sword on Luo Siqi's back. "However, this magic cannot be seen by ordinary people, so later we will walk out of here first, General, you don't need to see us off, let's part ways here!" After finishing speaking, he pulled Luo Siqi and walked towards the camp gate.
Luosi thought she could get rid of him. Because she didn't believe in the nonsense that Tang Xiaoxia said about flying swords and ghosts, this kind of magic she had seen in games and TV dramas. But to say that Tang Xiaoxia can do it now is really too far-fetched.
But she really felt that Tang Xiaoxia had too many things she didn't know about, and now they were in public, so she went along with being pulled by Tang Xiaoxia out of the military camp, walking further and further away. She thought to herself: "Tang Xiaoxia, I'll give you this face for now, but when we're alone and you can't even wield your sword properly, if you dare bring up that private escape plan again, just watch me turn against you!"
Two people just kept walking and walking, the more they walked, the more Luosiqi felt that this route was very familiar. Until Tang Xiaoxia finally stopped pointing to the ground and said: "We're here." Luosiqi finally understood where Tang Xiaoxia had brought her.
Luosiqi is now in the same place where Yu Luo deceived her into entering last night!
Luosi Qi asked Tang Xiaoxia with a puzzled expression, "What did you bring me to this place for again?" Because she was almost schemed against last time, Luosi Qi actually had a strong aversion to this place.
Tang Xiaxia directly opened the entrance again and said to Luosi Qi: "Actually, I was very curious about where the other side of the Mo Ye passage leads last night, so after we came back, I went there secretly once."
Luosi was shocked and said to Tang Xiaoxia with a tone of blame, "Don't you know that the underground is very dangerous? What if you meet Mo Ye again?"
Tang Xiaoxia said with a smile, "Mo Ye must be in a hurry to go to the Yin Domain City, how could he come back so quickly?" His face still looked a bit embarrassed. Luo Siqi didn't know if it was because her previous rebuke had revealed genuine concern that made him look like this. Before she could think about it carefully, Tang Xiaoxia had already led the way into the tunnel and urged her to follow: "Come on, you'll definitely be surprised!"
As she walked into the tunnel again, Luosiqi couldn't help but think of the scene when she returned to the underground cave in Xueyun Valley for the second time to see those murals. At that time, Tang Xiaoha was seriously injured in order to defeat the increasingly numerous monsters, and she was actually not paying much attention to the murals due to her panic. It wasn't until the third time, when she was alone sending back the Lingxian grass, that she really felt scared.
This time walking through this passage is different from last time, last time accompanied by Yu Luo, but his heart was filled with resentment and hatred for revenge, now he has got what he wanted, and inexplicably became the lord of Liujin City, Qing'er was taken back by him, even if she had already been deflowered by Moyunfeng, but since Yu Luo loved her, he shouldn't care about these things either!
Tang Xiaoxia held a torch that was obviously prepared at the entrance of the cave last time, and the two quickly returned to the fork in the road where they had confronted Mo Ye before. Now this place is empty, nothing is here, but just yesterday, this place almost became Luosiqi's burial ground.
Following Tang Xiaoxia, they walked to the other side that Mo Ye had previously walked through. At first, there was nothing unusual, and it was still a passage leading forward, just like the one Luosiqi came from. However, as they walked, Luosiqi began to hear the sound of flowing water, and her field of vision quickly expanded. Before her lay a vast underground cave, which differed somewhat from the ones she had seen in Xueyun Valley. But what was most striking was that it was exactly like the underground caves beneath Xueyun Valley!
That's right, there are underground dark rivers, and small water pools that are smaller than the small lake. In the pool, faintly emitting light, is exactly the familiar cyan stone monument in the underground cave of Xueyun Valley, also on the astrology platform of Lin Yue Peak, which allows her to teleport freely before them!
She finally understood why Tang Xiaoxia told her that she didn't need a horse or a carriage anymore. Xueyun Valley was less than a day's journey from Chengfu, and now all she and Tang Xiaoxia had to do was activate the spiritual stone stele to be transported to the underground cave below Xueyun Valley, then find Qingyuanzi for a horse, and they could hurry to Chengfu as soon as possible.
She looked at Tang Xiaoxia, and found that he was also smiling at her. Although she still didn't understand why Tang Xiaoxia suddenly became so enthusiastic about helping Chu State, time was of the essence, so she placed the Seven-Colored Linglong Stone on top of the Cyan Stone Stele to activate it. Immediately afterwards, the two returned once again to the underground cave in Snow Cloud Valley.
This time, the underground cave in Xueyun Valley no longer had those strange creatures that appeared before. Luosiqi walked quickly through the passage leading to the ground surface, as there were many things she wanted to ask Yuansu clearly. To be honest, she was particularly uncomfortable with underground passages and the like, and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the ground, they only found a slightly surprised little brother. He told Luosi Qi that Qing Yuanzi had gone out of the valley to find something. As for what he was looking for, he didn't say, but said it was a very important treasure. So Luosi Qi could only ask her little brother to find a good horse for her and Tang Xiaoxia. Sitting behind Tang Xiaoxia, Luosi Qi couldn't help but think of the time when she and Tang Xiaoxia were deceived by someone, and they ran towards "Yan Wang" with excitement.
Unlike before, Tang Xiaoxia's horse riding skills are obviously much better than the first time he took her out. It seems that she hasn't practiced less or ridden less in such a long time. Luosiqi asked him, but he just perfunctorily said that he had indeed practiced and didn't say specifically where he had practiced. When asked more, he pushed it off saying that his riding skills were not very proficient, the road was unfamiliar, and told Luosiqi to be quiet so as not to lead her astray.
This made Luosiqi, who was still curious about the mysterious things on Tang Xiaoxia's body when she returned to modern times that day, have to shut her mouth temporarily and think to herself: Wait until we get back to the city, I'll make you confess everything clearly!
Unexpectedly, the two rode horses for several hours and finally saw the high city gate of Chengfu City before dark. A series of things happened again, and Luo Siqi lost another opportunity to carefully ask Tang Xiaoxia.
The Tian-Wu army has been stationed in Chengfu for a long time, and the capital of Zhengguo is already flowing with blood and corpses are all over the ground, but the Chu army still does not intend to rescue Zhengguo.
Tian Yu was delighted at Luo Siqi's sudden appearance, and before Luo Siqi could ask him why he didn't send troops to rescue Zheng, he asked about the situation in the southern border.
