Tang Li stood rooted to the ground in a daze. His face was facing the scorching flames, and Little Yu 'er's cries lingered in his ears. "Sister Jing fell down, Sister Jing fell down …"
He really wanted to try harder and stay calm again. However, the cries and the words "Sister Jing" in the cries were like a demon that lingered in his ears, trapping him, trapping his eyes, ears, and heart.
Sister Jing fell down …
Everyone looked into the abyss and saw that it was very deep. The abyss was filled with raging flames. Once someone fell down, how could they survive?
Han Yunxi looked at the fire pit and then looked at Tang Li. She couldn't accept this for a moment, and her mind went blank. The detoxification system had long lost its notification. She didn't know if it was because they were too far away, or if the fire had burned both the person and the poison away.
Han Yunxi unconsciously held Little Yu 'er tightly, so tightly that Little Yu' er's hand was about to break. Little Yu 'er didn't feel the pain at all. She kept crying and crying, calling out "Sister Jing," as if Ning Jing was really her sister.
Gu and Gu Beiyue also stared blankly at the raging flames. They always knew that it wouldn't be easy to save the hostages this time, but they really didn't expect this outcome!
She was gone!
They hadn't even seen her for the last time.
She was gone!
Gu had always been a simple-minded person. At this moment, when he saw Tang Li's wooden expression, he suddenly felt terrible. He didn't want to look anymore, so he walked to the side and squatted down.
Gu Beiyue was a doctor, so he was most used to seeing death. He pitied any patient, but he felt helpless when it came to death. However, in this short period of time, Tang Li, who was full of hope and spirit, instantly dimmed. This was the first time he felt heartache over death!
Long Fei Ye lowered his eyes. He walked in front of Tang Li and pulled him into his arms. In the past, Tang Li did not throw himself on his shoulder and cry like he did when he was young.
Tang Li was still standing there motionlessly. His eyes were empty as he stared at the raging fire in the abyss.
He tried hard to recall the last time he saw Ning Jing. What she looked like, what she was wearing, what kind of hairstyle she had, and what she had said. That was in the Three-Way Black Market. She was wearing a loose dress. At that time, she was already pregnant. Unfortunately, he didn't know.
At that time, she said, "Men, chop off the young master's right hand."
The last thing he said to her was, "Ning Jing, you win."
He had no choice but to undo the bracelets that bound the two of them together, not allowing them to be more than ten steps away from each other.
Ning Jing, if I knew what you were thinking, I would never undo the bracelets even if I lost my life, much less my right hand!
Tang Li was thinking about the first time they met, when Ning Jing was disguised as a man. At that time, he didn't know who she was, and she didn't know who he was either.
He lied to her and said, "My name is Changli. I'm a disciple of Shuangqing Mountain."
She repeated it several times. Finally, she said, "That's not a good name. It's too sad."
He was deliberately mystifying, saying that all encounters were long parting. Today's encounter was fate. They might not meet again in this lifetime, so it was a long parting. Miss, farewell.
However, she stopped him and said, "Come up! I'll give you a ride. Then it won't be a long parting! "
Thinking of this, Tang Li was already crying silently.
Ning Jing, if I knew this day would come, I'd rather not get on your carriage. I'd rather pass by you and miss you forever. Is that the only way I won't be sad?
Tang Li was still thinking about that day when he went to Wan Commerce Hall to marry Ning Jing.
He flirted with the maidservant outside her room. When she closed the door and refused to come out, he blocked the door and warned her, "Ouyang Ning Jing, if you don't come out, I'll block the door and not leave. I, Tang Li, will only marry you, Ning Jing! "
She even forgot to wear the red veil and rushed out of the room. That was the first time he saw her dressed as a woman. Her hair was tall, and she had beautiful eyebrows. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her lips were red. She was as bright as spring and as beautiful as the autumn moon. She was a feast for the eyes!
That time, he was mesmerized. For the first time, he realized that she was actually such a beautiful person.
As Tang Li thought about it, his face was already covered in tears. Long Fei Ye's shoulder was already wet from his tears.
Long Fei Ye hugged his neck, wanting him to lean on his shoulder and give him some comfort.
However, Tang Li pushed away Long Fei Ye's hand and said lightly, "Let me be alone. I want to be alone."
Be alone …
This word made everyone look over, and they all felt uncomfortable.
However, Tang Li didn't react at all. He walked to the wall and squatted down with his head in his hands. He kept muttering to himself, "I want to be alone. Let me be alone …"
Tang Li's face was still full of tears, but his expression clearly showed that he was confused and not sad at all. He was like a different person from before.
This …
Han Yunxi immediately sensed that something was wrong. She quickly walked over and squatted in front of Tang Li. "Tang Li, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Li ignored her and kept muttering to himself. "I want to be quiet … I want to be quiet, I want to be alone …"
I want to be alone?
Why did he look so confused? Why did he look like he was in a daze?
Han Yunxi became more and more uneasy. She turned back to look at Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue quickly came over to take his pulse, but he couldn't see through his illness!
Gu Beiyue was very uneasy. He shook his head at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was about to cry. She grabbed Tang Li's hands and asked, "Tang Li, what's wrong with you? Tell me, who is Jingjing? "
"Jingjing?" Tang Li muttered, "Jingjing? I want to be alone … I just want to be alone. Don't disturb me, okay? Shh … "
Han Yunxi cried. She turned her head away, but she couldn't help crying out loud. "Tang Li … I want to be alone too. I really want to be alone. Tang Li, how can you not know who Jingjing is? "
Suddenly, Gu, who was squatting at the side, jumped up and took out Mo Xie's sword. "I'm going to kill Bai Yanqing! I'm going to cut him into pieces! "
Long Fei Ye looked at the dazed Tang Li and slowly clenched his fists. How could he take this lying down if he didn't catch Bai Yanqing? How could he take revenge?
"Gu Beiyue, take Tang Li and Su Xiaoyu out first!" Long Fei Ye said.
Ning Jing was dead, and Su Xiaoyu was back. Now, they didn't have any hostages in Bai Yanqing's hands, so they were no longer afraid of him!
Little Yu 'er said with a choked voice, "I heard from the guards that Bai Yanqing would go to the cliff exit of the maze. The guards wanted to take me and Sister Jing to find him. Sob sob … If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have escaped! It's all my fault! It's all my fault for acting on my own initiative and overestimating myself! "
No one would blame Su Xiaoyu. Although they didn't say anything, they were all blaming themselves in their hearts. If they had arrived earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"Your Highness, it's not easy to get out of here." Gu Beiyue said helplessly.
Long Fei Ye glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he walked to the dazed Tang Li's side. He steeled his heart and knocked Tang Li out with a palm strike before saying, "Come with me."
Ever since Long Fei Ye discovered that he had entered the Honeycomb Maze, he had marked every path and every fork he had taken. Even if he forgot which path he had taken, as long as he found the mark, he could still return to his original place.
When he returned to his original place, he could determine how far he was from the cave exit and find a way out of the maze.
There were rules to follow in the Honeycomb Maze. The place he had been at wasn't far from the exit. As long as he followed the rules and walked a few rounds, he could basically get out.
Gu Beiyue carried the unconscious Tang Li while Han Yunxi held Su Xiaoyu's hand. The group followed Long Fei Ye back to the original secret room.
Han Yunxi thought of Fourth Young Miss Ren and said, "Wait, I'll go find Fourth Young Miss Ren. Beiyue, you can send her out together."
Han Yunxi was also a meticulous person. Not only did she poison Fourth Young Miss Ren, she also marked the path. Following the mark, the detoxification system notified them not long after.
When they found Fourth Young Miss Ren, her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked like a little rabbit. As soon as she saw Han Yunxi, she was so excited that she almost screamed.
"Shh …" Han Yunxi quickly fed her the antidote and covered her mouth.
Bai Yanqing must have snuck to the cliff exit from the secret passage below. Whether he had arrived or not, they still couldn't expose their whereabouts for now. Sending the hostages out was the most important thing.
Fourth Young Miss Ren immediately nodded, indicating that she knew to keep quiet and not attract any enemies.
As soon as she walked out of the secret room, she saw Gu Beiyue.
"Academy Head Beiyue!" Fourth Young Miss Ren was pleasantly surprised.
Gu Beiyue was as calm as still water. He only nodded. "You've worked hard."
He was always like this. He looked polite, but kept people at arm's length. Leaving aside Fourth Young Miss Ren, there were plenty of women in Medical City who openly admired him and secretly adored this academy head, this gentleman.
But no one dared to be presumptuous, much less get close to him. He was like a holy god high above the snowy mountains that could only be looked at from afar.
With him in Medical City, they were satisfied.
"Gu, you go out with them as well. Yunxi and I will go find Bai Yanqing first. I'll leave marks along the way so you can follow them when you come over, "Long Fei Ye said seriously.
With Gu and Gu Beiyue escorting the three hostages, it was enough. Without any worries, he and Han Yunxi could deal with Bai Yanqing together!
Long Fei Ye gave Gu Beiyue a compass and instructed, "Go straight down this path. There'll be a mark at every fork. Go to the one with the mark. Go straight to the one without a mark. Go straight to the west. There are no forks in the maze, only three. If you take one, you'll only have two choices. Remember, go west until you reach the first fork and turn right. Then turn left at the second fork … keep going left and right. You should be able to get out before long. Leave marks along the way. If you can't get out, go back the way you came and turn left at the first fork. Then turn right at the second fork. Keep going until you reach the exit … "
Long Fei Ye listed out a few ideas that confused Gu, but Gu Beiyue understood and memorized.
"Alright. Your Highness, princess, be careful. Seventh Young Master and I will be back soon!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Thus, they split up into two groups, one to the west and one to the east …
