Chapter 619 I’m going to be trapped here for the rest of my life!
After all, Cui Qilang was good at martial arts, and Bazaar didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he said on the surface that he was drunk and apologized.
Being in someone else's territory, Cui Qillang was so angry that his veins were bulging, and he wanted to kill Bazaar with his own hands to relieve his anger, but in the end he endured it for the sake of the overall situation.
However, the next day, Liu Li appeared.
He was from Central Plains and had lived in Eagle City for more than ten years. He claimed that he could lead them out of Eagle City smoothly.
Just as they left the city, the people in the bazaar maliciously accused them of stealing.
And they wanted to arrest the more than one hundred people who were accompanying them!
This was intolerable. The people of Daliang were furious and vowed to resist to the death.
However, in a fit of rage, he beat to death more than a dozen people sent by Bazaar.
Liu Li hurriedly took them to a cave.
He had just hidden himself and had no time to catch his breath when he found that a large number of soldiers were chasing him.
Finally, Liu Li took Nanping and the others to the back mountain...
"Then Liu Li is a liar!"
"He revealed his true colors as soon as we entered the cave, saying that being able to offer sacrifices to some Shatuo Buddha was a blessing earned by all of us in our past lives."
"After that, the people who had ambushed them rushed out and killed everyone... They caught them completely off guard."
"Cui Qilang took me inside, and after crossing the iron chain bridge, we saw a dark statue."
"I don't know what strange things were there, and we both had hallucinations at the same time. I saw my father and mother rushing towards us covered in blood, and he saw everyone in the Cui family climbing up from the bottom of the cliff."
"I nearly lost myself in a trance and stepped off the cliff. If he hadn't woken up in time and pulled me back, I would have been shattered to pieces."
"Luckily, Cui Qilang had a rope with him, so we simply slid down the cliff. There was a difficult path down there, and I accidentally stepped on empty air and fell into the river."
"When I got up again, I didn't have time to tidy myself up, and I accidentally pressed on something and fell in here."
"Over the past ten days, Cui Qilang and I have tried everything, but we just can't leave this place."
"He even tried to climb up through the tunnel, but when he reached the top, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the hole."
"I thought we were going to be trapped here forever!"
"But even if we want to stay here forever, it's wishful thinking because we have nothing to eat."
"If we stay any longer, we will starve to death soon."
"Sister Luo'er, have you seen anyone else on your way here?"
"My personal maid and nanny... as well as the other guards, civil servants, and servants, what's become of them?"
"I hope they're all still alive."
Although the hope is slim, Nanping always holds a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Li Qingluo shook his head: "We only saw a body soaking in water."
"The rest, we haven't found them yet, but I think... they're probably in grave danger."
Given Liu Li's level of madness, these people must have become sacrifices.
Nanping looked very unhappy.
But we have to face the facts.
"I, Nanping, am probably the most miserable and useless princess ever married to a foreign country. I couldn't even protect a single one of my own people."
She bit her lips so hard that they started bleeding in a moment.
Li Qingluo rubbed her lips open with one hand.
"Don't hurt yourself anymore."
"You didn't want this to happen. It was caused by someone with harmful intentions, and you couldn't defend yourself."
"It's good that you're still alive."
"By the way, we brought some food with us, you can eat some first."
Li Qingluo quickly called Nanny Zheng over.
As expected, Nanny Zheng had two baked buns and some dried meat in her arms.
Nanping started eating voraciously.
Nanny Zheng originally wanted her to save some for her own daughter, but seeing a princess living like this, she couldn't bear it and didn't say anything.
On the other side, Cui Qilang said to Zhui Yu, "At first, there were still some fruits on the trees. Later, we were able to catch some fish in the pond."
"However, there is less and less food to eat now."
After eating one cake, Nanping did not forget to put the other cake into Cui Qilang's hand.
"Eat quickly!"
Her kindness was met with a cold expression from Cui Qilang: "I'm not hungry, thank you, Your Highness."
Nan Ping was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Cui Qilang to change his expression.
She turned with a gloomy face and walked towards Li Qingluo.
"Sister Luo'er, why are people's hearts so fickle?"
After saying that, she sighed again, as if she had figured something out a long time ago, and sneered to herself.
"Really boring."
Li Qingluo asked her, "Why would he escort you to marry?"
Nan Ping: "He's sick! He asked to come here on his own."
As she spoke, Nanping's eyes became red again.
Perhaps fearing that Li Qingluo might misunderstand something, Nan Ping quickly explained, "Sister Luo'er, you know how I felt about him back then."
"But ever since Xia Miao, I haven't been so shameless in pestering him. On the contrary, he seems to be a little uncomfortable with being suddenly abandoned by me, and occasionally he will look at me."
"I originally thought he was just bound by his family, so he still had a little obsession in his heart."
"However, ever since my mother came to power, he has become even more distant towards me."
"I suspected he was approaching me for other purposes, sometimes cold, sometimes warm... Later, I got too lazy to speculate, so I asked my mother to arrange a marriage for me, hoping to completely put an end to his thoughts."
"Unexpectedly, my mother had already seen through my thoughts. She originally wanted to help me and let me marry into the Cui family...but before the marriage was finalized, the issue of the marriage came up."
"I have no choice. It's useless to struggle with my grief."
"My mother even threatened me with her own life... What else could I do?"
"But I didn't expect that Cui Qilang would be the general escorting me when I left."
"This time, we ended up in this secret realm, relying on each other for survival. We've been through thick and thin together, but look at what he looked like just now?"
"The gentleness and consideration you've shown me these past few days were all just my illusions!"
Nan Ping was so angry that he tore the pancake in his hand into two halves and bit it hard.
Seeing how she treated the cake, Nanny Zheng covered her chest with her hands in pain.
"Miss, do you think this water... could it be the corpse water?"
Nanny Zheng came over and asked deliberately.
Nan Ping's face turned pale instantly: "What corpse water?"
Matron Zheng quickly explained, "Jun... Oh, no, Your Highness, Princess, don't you know? The pool in that grotto you visited earlier is filled with countless corpses."
"That side is connected to this side. So I wonder if the water here flows over there..."
Nanping turned around and started vomiting when he heard that.
Cui Qillang's face also became very ugly.
Nanping quickly threw away the pancake in his hand. How could he have the appetite to eat anymore?
Nanny Zheng took the opportunity to take it in her hand and put it in her pocket carefully.
Zhui Yu frowned tightly: "Why are they both vomiting?"
"Is there really something wrong with the water and soil here?"
Everyone started looking for a way out.
All the places that Cui Qilang had previously searched carefully were ruled out, so the places available for searching became very limited.
However, half an hour passed and no useful clues were found.
This place is like an iron prison, completely sealed off from top to bottom, left to right, and all directions.
Sha Yi and Sha San even climbed up the tunnel again, but their internal strength was not enough to push open the previous entrance.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Qingluo looked towards the pool of water.
Zhui Yu caught her gaze and immediately understood: "Miss, do you think... this is the exit?"
Li Qingluo: "If the water sources are truly connected, perhaps underwater is the only exit here."
Cui Qilang: "I thought of this method before, but I really don't feel comfortable leaving the princess here alone."
"Besides, the princess is afraid of water, so it's not possible to take her with us."
"Now that you, the county lord, are here, I'll go explore the way."
After saying that, Cui Qillang dived into the pool.
Nanping stood up instantly, her face solemn and a little nervous as she stared at the water surface, watching Cui Qilang dive into the bottom of the pool. Although she didn't say a word, the worry in her eyes could not be hidden.
Li Qingluo gently held her hand.
"Don't worry, I won't let him take risks alone."
Sha Shisan, who was the best swimmer, followed him into the water.
About half an incense stick of time later, Sha Shisan and Cui Qillang came back together.
Both of them had joy on their faces: "There's a way out!"
However, Nanping was in trouble.
"I...I don't dare..."
She once fell into the water in the Marquis Zhongyi's mansion.
It was also because Li Qingluo saved her that the two of them got to know each other.
In his previous life, Nanping became a fool because of falling into the water.
Becoming a princess who was married off to another country in this life was a fate that was rough enough.
Li Qingluo held her hand. "Don't be afraid. I'll stay here with you. Once they find the exit, they can use other methods to rescue us."
Nan Ping looked at Li Qingluo in shock and emotion. "Really? Sister Luo'er, you are so kind!"
At least there was someone in this world who wouldn't force her to do something she didn't want to do.
This is one of them.
Sha Shisan and Cui Qillang both agreed with this.
"Girl, the entrance is blocked by corpses and bones. It's better for you to stay here."
"We'll pick you up from the entrance once we get out."
Hearing this, Nanping turned around and vomited again.
The last few women stayed where they were, along with Zhui Yu, Xuan Cang, Qin Ling, and those who killed three, one, twenty, and beyond.
The others followed suit and went into the water.
I originally thought that there would be no more accidents, but about an incense stick of time later, blood suddenly emerged from the water.
Li Qingluo, who had been staring at the water, quickly stood up and strode over.
"Something happened to them!"
Zhuiyu and Shayi also hurried over, and when they saw the color of the water, their expressions changed.
"How could this be?"
Li Qingluo: "No, I have to go and see it myself!"
