"I still remember a little. Eh? There are three paths ahead." Han Yuanshen carefully calculated where the trap would land and where it would land. Walking in front, he saw two intersections not far away. Xia Zihou raised an eyebrow at Han Che. Su Qing's expression changed slightly. There were two paths. One was life and the other was death.
"Uh, which way?"
"..." Xia Zihou looked at Han Che, who was asking her this question, and his eyes flickered. He didn't answer. He clenched the whip in his hand and looked ahead. The air in front of him seemed to have changed. The four of them had already reached the three intersections. Heaven, Earth, and Man. It was hanging above the hole. She walked closer and looked at the three doors. They were all made of the same material. One of the holes was so dark that one could not see the bottom, another hole was so cold that it was glaring, and the other hole was winding up. It was surrounded by stones, so it was inevitable that this path would be blocked.
She was slightly hesitant and subconsciously looked at Su Qing. Su Qing's expression was relaxed, as if he didn't care about what was happening in front of him at all. From his actions, it seemed like he was following the main group and had no opinion of his own. However, Xia Zihou didn't agree that he was someone who would give his authority to others.
"Look, what's that?" From the bottomless hole, more and more reddish creatures approached, bringing with them a rotten smell. Xia Zihou took a step back and stepped on Su Qing, who was standing behind him. Su Qing lowered his head in pain and looked at her slightly embarrassed expression. He had originally been teasing her, but when his gaze suddenly caught sight of the red, he suddenly pulled her behind him. His actions were so fast that it seemed to be completely subconscious. When Han Che saw Su Qing pulling her behind him, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
"Quick, let's go to the Miter Cave. That's a red snake." Su Qing grabbed Xia Zihou's hand and ran towards the Miter Cave. Han Che quickly followed behind. Yuan Shen, who was running at the back, wailed non-stop. He no longer had the mature and steady aura that Han Pan had. His wails echoed throughout the entire mausoleum. Xia Zihou did not bother to care about him. He was pulled by Han Che all the way and even used Qinggong. The three of them ran across a bridge and turned around to see that the bottom of the wooden bridge was bottomless. Xia Zihou's sharp eyes and agile hands swung the whip, cutting the bridge in half.
"Miss, how can you go back if you break it?”Xia Zihou raised an eyebrow, his slender finger pointing at the place where they had come from. There, a swarm of snakes surged, and countless blood-red snakes surged towards them. The last batch of snakes fell into the abyss because they couldn't stop in time, but the snakes coiled around the snakes that had fallen back into the cave one after another, spitting out blood-red apricot seeds from their mouths. The hissing sounds caused goosebumps to appear all over the people present.
"Miss Rui Zhi." Xia Zihou nodded slightly. A strange look flashed across Han Che's eyes as he discreetly put some distance between Xia Zihou and Su Qing. Xia Zihou didn't pay much attention to it. She looked at the dark hole behind her and the luminous pearl in Su Qing's hand. There was no air flowing inside, but she felt a chill rise from behind her. He couldn't help but say,"The West Phoenix Tomb really has other intentions."”
"If not for this, the Firephoenix Lotus would have been stolen long ago. Why would they let us come and get it? You guys rest for a while. I'll go take a look at the road.”Han Che took out his Fire Fold and planned to scout ahead. Xia Zihou felt in his pocket, considering whether he should take out the Night-Luminescent Pearl as well. After all, she had only brought two with her.
"Where are your luminous pearls?" Han Che raised his eyebrows. Han Yuanshen had yet to recover from his shock. He was holding the stone wall with a pale face and panting slightly. There was nothing in his hand. He looked up awkwardly when he heard this. "Royal brother, I accidentally threw it out when I was escaping.”That snake almost bit him. How could he not shake it off? However, seeing Xia Zihou's calm face, his male pride was struck. He stood up straight.
"Royal brother, I'll go with you." Xia Zihou saw that the two of them didn't recognize each other. One of them wanted to go, while the other didn't want to. What was going on? He didn't rest anymore. He took out the luminous pearl from his pocket and said to the two of them," What are you arguing about? Let's go."”Su Qing's lips curled into a faint smile as she followed behind Xia Zihou. Who was this person? Why was it so familiar?
“。。。”Han Che and his brother exchanged a glance and followed him inside. In the darkness, Xia Zihou's luminous pearl was only half-lit and was faintly glowing. However, there were countless other luminous pearls hanging on the surrounding walls. In an instant, the dark and winding cave was left with only a faint luminous pearl. Those pearls only illuminated a small spot around him.
Looking around, it was very beautiful.
"Let's all hold hands. Don't get separated." Han Che said, pretending to hold Xia Zihou's hand. Xia Zihou, who was in the middle, didn't say anything. Anyway, she was in second place now. The one walking in front was Han Che, and the one at the back seemed to be Su Qing. The person she was holding was probably Han Yuanshen.
There was a loud thud in the darkness, followed by a scream. Xia Zihou was shocked. What was going on? The three of them immediately stopped and heard a sound coming from the ground.
"You…move your feet away." She stepped on his face.
"..." Xia Zihou replied with an 'oh' sound. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he pinched the soft spot with his foot, causing the person below him to almost have a chest ache. Han Che gritted his teeth. She must have done it on purpose. Since when did he have a grudge against her? She was so cruel. He couldn't figure it out at the moment. He stood up in a hurry, completely forgetting that he was in a narrow and messy cave. There was another thud.
"Imperial brother, how are you?" An anxious voice came from behind.
"It's nothing. I just stepped on air." " It must be swollen." Han Che covered his head with one hand and grabbed Xia Zihou's hand with the other to continue walking. However, he used all his strength in his hand. Xia Zihou also grabbed back with all his strength. For a moment, the two of them were secretly fighting over their strength. Su Qing's eyes were filled with a smile in the dark night. He tried his best not to laugh. The dignified crown prince actually fell and hit a rock while walking. Who would believe it? But this was the truth.
The four of them made their way out of this messy hole after a few twists and turns. Finally, they heaved a sigh of relief. The scenery in front of them caught Xia Zihou's attention. She carefully observed everything in front of her. In the distance, she could roughly see a huge coffin. From the angle, she could tell that it was probably the founding emperor and empress of West Phoenix two hundred years ago.
The murals around them were painted with vivid and lifelike scenes. They had different forms, but what was the same was the person in the painting, from youth to age and white hair.
"These are the founding emperors of Xifeng, Emperor Zong Zhen and Empress Shunde. The coffin was a reflection and wasn't real.”Han Yuanshen seemed to have a good understanding of mechanisms. He and Yue Heiyan, one of them was skilled in crafting weapons, while the other was skilled in mechanisms. If they were to meet, who knew what kind of effect it would have?
" Rumor has it that Emperor Tianwu of the Xia Dynasty once married Empress Shunde as his empress. During the ceremony, Emperor Zong Zhen rebelled. At that time, other than Xifeng rebelling against Xia, there was another country, and that was the Zhao Country. When Emperor Zong Zhen ascended the throne, Emperor Tianwu led his troops to attack Xifeng. Empress Shunde died on the battlefield to protect Xifeng. Emperor Zong Zhen and Emperor Tianwu died one after another within three years. Everyone was puzzled, but now they understood.”Su Qing clasped his hands behind his back. He had accidentally read about that rumor in the miscellaneous history.
"Beauty is a mess." Han Yuanshen spat out a few words. The future and the past were hundreds of years ago, so there was no need to care about them. However, no one understood why the Empress of Shunde was forced to marry Emperor Kai Wu, how she died on the battlefield, and how the other two emperors passed away in three years.
"It's not that beauties mess up the country. Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. It's true that they're romantic. There are even many concubines in the harem.”Xia Zihou gazed at the two pairs of people in the coffins, his eyes flickering. Han Che laughed out loud.
"There's no need to be too sad. This crown prince will only marry one crown princess in the future and be with her for the rest of my life.”Han Che's gaze was fixed on her, trying to find out something from her expression. She, on the other hand, looked at the person in the crystal coffin with a gentle expression and remained silent. What was a promise? It was just a pastime when she was ignorant and bored. The words were just words, so how could she believe them?
"Third Prince, what do you think?" Xia Zihou came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows slightly. Han Yuanshen was tapping around, seemingly trying to detect the traps. His expression was unusually serious.
"This king will give her thousands of splendor, gather thousands of dotes on her, and firmly tie her to his side.”Su Qing smiled slowly. He did not believe that women would not care about him. However, there were two women in this world who would not care about him. One of them was Lan Yi, and the other was the Eldest Princess Rongyang, who had a mocking smile on her face.
"You've only seen the surface. How would you know that Emperor Tianwu is a heartless person? Emperor Tianwu painted the image of Empress Shunde all over the imperial mausoleum, which could be seen everywhere when entering the mausoleum. He once wrote on the painting: You are dressed in phoenix crown and rosy clouds, forgetting to drink tea with me. However, that day when I was painting, you and I swore to each other that our hair would turn white.
You wrapped a red thread for him, but forgot to answer my green reeds. However, that day when I whipped my horse, you and I agreed to spend the summer together.
You hid your peerless beauty for him but forgot to answer my human love words. However, that day, the sky was filled with flowers, and you and I traveled far away.
I paved ten miles of peach blossoms for you, but that day, when blood stained Kangping, you fought with him.”She could still remember that phrase clearly. It was not because she felt unworthy for Tianwu Emperor, nor did she feel disdain for Empress Shunde. Perhaps everyone had a lot of helplessness in life. She only felt pity for him, but she did not understand why Tianwu Emperor was so infatuated that he could not exchange for Empress Shunde's sincerity. Even marriage was a form of use.
Su Qing lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the crystal coffin's shadow thoughtfully. A wave of emotions surged in her heart. One person for a lifetime. How envious she was of Han Che being able to say those words so calmly. How much she wished he could be with the person he loved the most for a lifetime, but he couldn't. His ambition was to be with the entire country of Zhao, and even the world. It was impossible for him to abandon the entire world for a woman. All he could give was glory and love.
"There's a path here that doesn't seem to be in the map.”Xia Zihou stared at the coffin for a long time before he came back to his senses after hearing Han Yuanshen's voice. The three of them headed in his direction. There was indeed a road there, and it was brightly lit, faintly exuding a glorious aura.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184:24PM
