Gu Beiyue and Tang Li saw Hao San's corpse from afar!
The two of them strode over, and saw even more clearly that Hao San had been struck in the head with a palm, and was forcibly shaken to death.
Neither of them knew Hao San, but they were sure that he was Bai Yanqing's subordinate.
"It doesn't look like my brother and Gu's handiwork. They can't be that fast, "Tang Li muttered to himself as he squatted down to check.
Gu noticed that the blood flowing out of Hao San was very strange. He quickly grabbed Tang Li's hand and said, "Be careful, he might have been poisoned."
"Could it be my sister-in-law?" Tang Li was shocked.
"It's possible!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
They really did not think that Bai Yanqing would kill his subordinate.
"So … did my sister-in-law escape?" Tang Li asked again.
Gu Beiyue had already found the stone room with the door open. He said, "To be exact, she should be escaping!"
He walked into the stone room, and Tang Li quickly followed.
They found a medicine pot in the stone room and some medicinal herbs that had not been decocted yet.
Gu Beiyue took a look at the medicinal herbs and immediately confirmed, "The princess is trapped here. She must have left not long ago!"
The dregs in the medicine hut had not been cleaned up, so he estimated the time it took for the decoction to be decocted. Based on the time of Hao San's death, it must have been just now!
They mistakenly thought that Hao San was killed by Han Yunxi. It could be considered a coincidence.
Gu Beiyue and Tang Li looked at each other. They did not say anything and rushed out of the door at the same time.
There were only two paths here. One was to the left, which led to the passage to the cliff. The other was to the right. It was dark and they could not see where it led to. Needless to say, Han Yunxi must have escaped to the right. Otherwise, she would have been trapped in the formation.
Gu Beiyue and Tang Li chased to the right. They did not go far before they saw several corpses. They were all poisoned to death, and they died not long ago.
As a result, they were even more convinced that Han Yunxi had just escaped from the stone room. What a coincidence! If she had escaped a little later, she would have bumped into them!
Soon, Tang Li and Gu Beiyue's figures disappeared into the darkness of the passage.
At first, they were still walking straight ahead. Later on, they encountered a fork in the road. The original road split into two.
They did not know which path to choose, so they could only choose one path. But who would have thought that after walking for a while, they would come across two crossroads. They had no choice but to continue to choose one path.
After a while, Gu Beiyue realized something was off. "Tang Li, let's turn back! There's something wrong with this path. "
"Formation?" Tang Li also found it strange. Why were they still in the passage after walking for so long? The stone walls on both sides were very similar. They could not tell if they had walked this path before.
"It might be a maze. I hope it's not!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Gu Beiyue left a mark. He and Tang Li turned back to the original path and changed to another intersection. Who knew that after walking for half a day, they would actually see the mark they left behind.
"It's a maze!" Tang Li said angrily.
"Don't stop. Keep walking. If the Princess was not caught by Bai Yanqing, she should also be in the maze. Maybe we can meet her, "Gu Beiyue said seriously.
His words immediately cheered Tang Li up. His sister-in-law might be with Ning Jing! Perhaps, his sister-in-law knew where Ning Jing was locked up.
Tang Li and Gu Beiyue walked in circles in the maze. At the same time, Long Fei Ye and Gu were also walking in circles.
Gu had always been impatient. He handed over Mo Xie's sword. "Let's just break these stone walls."
Long Fei Ye glared at him coldly. "You'll have to bear the consequences if you act rashly and alert the enemy!"
Gu hurriedly put away Mo Xie's sword. "Then what should we do? Perhaps Bai Yanqing's watching us from the shadows and laughing at us? "
Long Fei Ye looked at him and said, "If you're impatient, then get out!"
"You!" Gu was furious. If he was impatient, would he have waited until now?
Long Fei Ye ignored him and did not continue walking. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot. They had already walked a few rounds. They had been walking around the same spot. After going around in circles, they returned to the same spot. Instead of walking in circles and wasting their energy, it was better to sit down and think of a strategy before taking action.
Seeing Long Fei Ye sit down, Gu looked like he wanted to say something. However, he hesitated for a moment and turned his head to the other side, ignoring him.
Quarreling at the slightest disagreement and cold war at the slightest disagreement. This was probably referring to the two of them.
Gu sat down not far away from Long Fei Ye and began to think about how to get out of this maze. He thought that there was a trick, but Long Fei Ye had already confirmed that with their abilities, there was no trick to getting out of this maze. They could only eliminate the obstacles one by one.
Long Fei Ye suddenly turned to look at Gu. "Hey!"
Gu immediately looked over and narrowed his eyes at him without saying a word.
"Stay guard. I need to think!" Long Fei Ye's tone was no different from an order.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu asked again.
Just how much did Long Feiye dislike talking to Gu Qishao? If he could avoid talking, he would try his best not to. If he had to, he would also not talk about it.
He didn't answer Gu. Instead, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
Gu only felt that his bottom line had been challenged. However, in order to save Poison Lass, he had no choice but to endure it!
He secretly swore that in the future, he would speak less with Long Fei Ye. If Long Fei Ye asked him anything, he would exchange his own life for his own!
Long Fei Ye closed his eyes and seriously recalled the paths and intersections that they had just walked through. Since they had entered the maze, they had gone around in circles and returned to their original spot six times.
In these six times, they had not gone one round and they had met seven to eight three-way intersections. Once they chose a junction, they would face seven to eight more intersections. If they didn't choose one of the intersections, they would face five to six more intersections. Sometimes the intersections would lead back to the original junction. Sometimes, they would walk a few rounds before coming back. In short, it was very complicated.
Long Fei Ye carefully recalled the paths they had taken. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly bit his finger and used his blood to draw a map on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu was astonished and immediately came over to take a look. He saw that Long Fei Ye had drawn a few hexagons on the ground that were close to each other. It looked like a beehive.
Gu couldn't understand it no matter how he looked at it. Long Fei Ye's eyes were cold as he stared at it seriously. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
Gu waited for a while but Long Fei Ye didn't make a sound. Hence, he threw his "lofty aspirations" to the back of his mind and asked anxiously, "What happened to you? What are you drawing? "
Long Fei Ye ignored him and continued to focus on the bloodstains on the ground. If he guessed correctly, the maze in the underground palace should be a beehive maze. It was made up of countless hexagons. The six corners of each hexagon were three-way intersections. The maze was very big, so sometimes they went astray and took a long detour before coming back. Other times, they didn't go astray and walked a small detour before coming back. When they took a big detour and came back from a different direction, they couldn't see the sign from before. When they took a small detour, they could see the sign after going back from where they came from.
If it was confirmed that it was a beehive maze, Long Fei Ye naturally had a way to solve it. However, he couldn't be completely sure. Hence, he still had to walk a few more rounds and do a few more experiments.
Long Fei Ye got up. He didn't bother to greet Gu and walked forward. Gu had no choice but to follow him with a gloomy face.
While Gu Beiyue and Tang Li were walking in circles and Long Fei Ye and Gu were doing experiments, Bai Yanqing was looking for Han Yunxi everywhere.
Yes!
Although Bai Yanqing knew how to get out of the maze, he couldn't completely control the entire maze. After all, the maze was too big and there were several levels. He didn't have enough manpower.
Han Yunxi and Fourth Young Mistress Ren disappeared after entering the maze. Bai Yanqing and several guards couldn't find them.
The more Bai Yanqing searched, the more irritable he became. The entrance formations on both sides had been broken. If Han Yunxi met Long Fei Ye and the others and they escaped, how much effort would he have to put in to catch them again?
After Bai Yanqing searched around the maze, he finally stopped and said coldly, "Go and bring Ning Jing and Su Xiaoyu out for Old Man!"
These two hostages could still be put to good use!
Bai Yanqing quickly disappeared into the maze.
After an hour, Long Fei Ye was completely sure that this maze was a beehive maze. He took the initiative to tell Gu, "This maze has many levels. It's a man-made beehive with many exits. However, this kind of maze usually has many traps. It's safer to hide the hostages inside the maze than behind it. We should be at the top level now. There's no other way but to go down level by level. Remember, don't act rashly and alert the enemy! "
Looking for them floor by floor, based on Long Fei Ye's estimation of this maze, coupled with his and Gu's speed, they should be able to walk through every path in about two days and two nights.
Who knew, just as Long Fei Ye and Gu were about to move forward, a familiar voice suddenly came from the right.
This voice was a sharp woman's cry, as if she had been greatly frightened.
"Ning Jing!" Long Fei Ye recognized this voice. He had heard it once in General Mu's residence.
"Right!" Gu immediately identified the source of the voice.
The two were about to go over, who knew that another scream would come. It was actually Su Xiaoyu's voice.
"Left!" Long Fei Ye said.
What happened? Why were Ning Jing and Su Xiaoyu on the left and right sides of the maze? Why did they scream at the same time? Where was Han Yunxi?
Gu and Long Fei Ye had a rare tacit understanding. The two of them stood still and waited …
Waiting for Han Yunxi's voice.
However, they waited for a long time and did not hear Han Yunxi's voice. Instead, they heard Ning Jing and Su Xiaoyu shouting a few times on the left and right sides. Their voices were so loud that it resounded through the entire maze. God knew what they had experienced.
At this moment, Gu Beiyue and Tang Li, who were far away at the other end of the maze, also heard the voices.
Tang Li did not hesitate to chase in the direction of Ning Jing's voice. Gu Beiyue had no choice but to chase after him and lead him forward quickly.
Long Fei Ye and Gu were really calm. They waited for a while. When they did not hear Han Yunxi's voice, Long Fei Ye said, "Let's find Su Xiaoyu first!"
Su Xiaoyu and Ning Jing were in trouble. Something might have happened to Han Yunxi as well. The voices were so loud that Tang Li must have gone to find Ning Jing. Therefore, they could only choose Su Xiaoyu.
They ran very fast, afraid that the voices would stop. Unexpectedly, not only did the screams not stop, but they also continued.
Finally, Long Fei Ye stopped. "It's a trap!"
