A man in armor strode into the house.
He looked around the courtyard and came to the ancient well. He leaned out and looked down.
Jing Yi and Su Xiaoxiao had already entered a secret passage at the side. The bottom of the well was empty.
He retracted his gaze and arranged for his subordinates to protect the small courtyard tightly.
Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi crawled along the low secret passage for about a dozen steps before finally entering another wide and big secret passage.
The two of them straightened up.
Su Xiaoxiao patted the dust off her hands and body and said seriously, “The well entrance was too small just now! Look, didn’t I climb through this secret passage?”
JingYi nodded. “Yes, I was almost stuck just now.”
Su Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and revealed a like-minded smile. “Right? The White Lotus Society is so stingy. They can’t even bear to dig a bigger well!
Forget it, forget it. Let’s tind gold!”
The tunnel here was winding. After searching for a long time, she did not find any gold. However, she heard a low cough.
Jing Yi became vigilant and protected Su Xiaoxiao behind him. “There’s someone.”
Su Xiaoxiao heard it too.
Jing Yi said, “I’ll go take a look first. Wait for me here.”
“Alright, be careful.”
“Yeah.”
Jing Yi slowly walked over, pulled out the sword at his waist, and used the tip of the sword to pry open a closed wooden door.
The intermittent cough could be heard clearly.
Jing Yi walked over and looked in under the light of the match. He said in surprise, “Your Second Highness?”
Su Xiaoxiao realized who it was. “Oh, Xiao Shunyang?”
“There’s no danger.” Jing Yi came out and said to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao walked in.
This was like another small cellar, but it was very dark and narrow.
Su Xiaoxiao held the oil lamp she had taken from the wall and looked at Xiao Shunyang’s face.
Xiao Shunyang was tied up with a cloth in his mouth. He sat with his back facing the wall and was about to suffocate.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi, who had appeared out of thin air, in a daze. He didn’t expect them to appear here.
Su Xiaoxiao took off the cloth from his mouth, but she didn’t untie him immediately.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little suspicious of the Second Prince. The last time they returned to the capital from the Dragon Temple, they were ambushed by the White Lotus Society. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Originally, everything was under control. It was Xiao Shunyang’s horse that was suddenly frightened and messed up their formation which gave the White Lotus Society a chance.
Could this be a simple accident?
Xiao Shunyang’s martial arts were not inferior to Xiao Duye’s. Xiao Duye was not captured, but he was.
“Were you arrested by the White Lotus Society?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Xiao Shunyang looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief. “If it’s not the White Lotus
Society, could it be that someone else can capture me here?”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, ‘Why did they arrest you?”
“Because I was discovered?” Xiao Shunyang looked at Su Xiaoxiao speechlessly. “Is there anyone who broke into the White Lotus Society’s territory who wasn’t caught?”
Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi looked at him expressionlessly.
Xiao Shunyang was rendered speechless again.
Could it be that she was too suspicious? Did Xiao Shunyang indeed have an accident that time? Did he have nothing to do with the White Lotus Society?
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the White Lotus Society had captured him.
It shouldn’t be an act. The White Lotus Society couldn’t guess that she and Jing Yi would come to dig for gold.
“Ahem!” Xiao Shunyang coughed a few more times in pain. “I almost fell into the Corpse Dissolving Water just now and finally escaped, but I seem to have…
been poisoned.”
Su Xiaoxiao took out her flashlight and checked his pupils and nails.
“What are you…” Xiao Shunyang wanted to ask what she was holding. Why was it so dazzling?
“Don’t speak. Open your mouth.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at his tongue and throat
again.
In the end, combined with his pulse, Su Xiaoxiao roughly deduced what the Corpse Dissolving Water they were talking about was.
It should be some strong acid that was extremely corrosive. Its gas was also poisonous. If one inhaled too much, it would cause swelling pain in the throat, respiratory mucosa, and lungs.
Su Xiaoxiao instructed, “Jing Yi, if you encounter the Corpse Dissolving Water, use your qinggong to pass by from a high place.”
Jing Yibao nodded.
