Chapter 1374: The Most Powerful Sihu
Editor: Atlas Studios
In the dark and damp secret room, the Palace Lord meditated on the ground with an indifferent expression.
She and Ji Minglou had been trapped here for a long time. She did not know how long, but it should have been dawn outside.
Ji Minglou searched the wall carefully again, but he still could not open the mechanism of the secret room.
He punched the thick stone wall.
The Palace Lord said calmly, “I advise you to save your strength.”
Ji Minglou sat back on the ground with his badly mangled fist. “Why…”
The Palace Lord snorted. “She’s your mother. You’re asking me why?”
The night before, she came to look for Ji Minglou to tell him about Xiahou Yi’s wild ambition. She hoped that he would fight the enemy with her, but she did not expect to encounter his biological mother drugging him.
She slapped the medicine he had just drunk away.
Min Ningwan took the opportunity to pull the trigger and let the two of them fall into the secret room.
Min Ningwan said that she was doing this for his own good. She knew that he would not become enemies with the Hundred Flowers Palace, but if he did not do so, Heavenly Jade Hall would become a thorn in the City Lord’s side.
When it was done, she would let him out.
Ji Minglou said in a low voice, “I’m sorry. I implicated you.”
The Palace Lord said calmly, “There’s no need. I came to look for you.”
Ji Minglou seemed to have lost all his strength and was extremely dispirited. “Did you know that my mother was secretly working for Xiahou Yi?”
“That’s right,” the Palace Lord admitted generously. “I came today to tell you about this. I didn’t expect you to discover it yourself. It saved me the trouble of wasting my breath. Don’t ask me why I didn’t tell you earlier. You have to be willing to believe me.”
Ji Minglou did not refute. Instead, he asked, “How much else do you know?”
The Palace Lord leaned against the wall and circulated his energy. “Which aspect are you referring to?”
Ji Minglou said, “Everything.”
The Palace Lord said, “Then there’s much to tell. What’s related to your mother is that she participated in framing Xiahou Qing.”
Ji Minglou asked, “If Yun Lin becomes the City Lord, will he forgive my mother?”
The Palace Lord said, “That depends on whether your mother is involved in anything else.”
Ji Minglou was silent.
The Palace Lord continued, “Don’t attempt to rely on Xiahou Yi. Your mother betrayed him and hid half of the treasure map that Lou Bufan gave her. We obtained the treasure map and used it to scheme against Xiahou Zheng and Xiahou Yi. Now that the half of the treasure map has returned to Xiahou Yi, he will be able to guess that it’s the treasure map we obtained from your mother. He won’t let your mother off.”
She thought that Ji Minglou would ask if her mother was involved in something else, but Ji Minglou changed the topic. “Are you and Duanmu Qi husband and wife?”
The Palace Lord asked impatiently, “What does it have to do with you?”
Ji Minglou said in a low voice, “Perhaps the two of us will never be able to get out. Just treat it as letting me die in peace.”
The Palace Lord said calmly, “So you still know that you can’t get out.”
Since Xiahou Yi would not let Min Ningwan off, he naturally had to eliminate her son to prevent him from avenging his mother in the future.
Min Ningwan thought that her methods were shocking, but she did not know that everything was within Xiahou Yi’s calculations.
The Palace Lord said, “His name is Wei Xu, a general of the Great Zhou.”
Ji Minglou said in realization, “I see… If, I mean if…”
Palace Lord interrupted him. “Ji Minglou, there are no ifs between us.”
As they spoke, there was suddenly a vibration at the top.
The Palace Lord hurriedly pressed her ear to the wall and listened carefully.
Her face darkened. “Your disciples have set off! How long have we been here?”
Ji Minglou also listened for a while and said with a solemn expression, “It’s not that we stayed too long, but Xiahou Yi moved too quickly.”
“No, I want to go out!”
The Palace Lord stood up and struck the ceiling!
Boom!
A huge rock fell.
Ji Minglou pounced over and rolled to the ground to protect her.
The big rock hit the spot where she was standing just now, and the ground trembled three times.
Palace Lord pushed Ji Minglou away and stood up to strike the ceiling again. “I want to see how thick you are!”
However, as boulders fell one after another, cracks kept appearing on the ground of the secret room.
Ji Minglou knelt on the ground and threw a matchstick into the crack.
When he saw the scene below, his expression changed. “We can’t smash it anymore. The ground can’t take it anymore. The next level is a winch! It will twist people into pieces!”
Palace Lord wrung her hands!
“Be careful! Come over quickly!”
The servant and a few companions carefully protected Sihu to a rockery. A trace of envy flashed across their eyes as they watched the disciples of the Heavenly Jade Hall mobilize.
They were only the lowest-ranked servants and could not even be considered official disciples. The actions of the sect usually had nothing to do with them.
Because Wuhu was riding on the head of Sihu, its little heads stretched out and looked around.
After the last disciple who could be mobilized left, the servant and his companions led Sihu out from behind the rockery.
The servant touched the Sihu’s mane. “Are you frightened? Sigh, the island is going to be unstable again, but we’re not qualified to interfere.”
Sihu was a regular guest of the Heavenly Jade Hall. At first, they only thought that this horse was beautiful and gentle. They thought that it was a lost horse of a hero nearby and fed Sihu something delicious before letting it go.
A few days later, Sihu came again. This time, it brought them a few herbs that it had never seen before. They were actually miraculously effective in healing.
Although they were servant boys, as long as they passed the annual trial, they could be promoted to official disciples.
With the herbs brought by Sihu, their injuries healed faster and they were more energetic in practicing martial arts.
How could they know that the inconspicuous herbs that Sihu brought were the forbidden items and Sang flowers of the Flower Palace?
Sihu rubbed its head to comfort him.
It was as if he was saying, “Don’t worry, when you become an official disciple in the future, you’ll be qualified to participate!”
The servant smiled happily. “Do you still want to catch butterflies today?”
The feathers of the Wuhu exploded.
It was already so old and was still catching butterflies!
Childish!
Ah!
What a beautiful butterfly! What a beautiful butterfly!
Wuhu was attracted by the Five-Colored Phoenix-Tailed Butterfly in the small garden and immediately flapped its small wings to catch it!
The golden eagle muttered, “Boss, have you forgotten something?”
Baby Sihu was not interested in catching butterflies today. It sniffed left and right on the ground, as if it was looking for something.
The last time this happened, it saved a disciple who was unconscious in the back mountain.
Seeing it like this, everyone thought that it had made a new discovery.
The golden eagle looked at its boss, which had forgotten itself catching the butterfly. It sighed and followed Sihu.
Sihu followed the Palace Lord’s scent and arrived at Jade River Pavilion in Heavenly Jade Hall.
This was the place where the Hall Master cultivated. The door was closed and locked.
Sihu knocked on the door.
“Is someone in there?”
The servant asked.
Sihu nodded.
The servant was puzzled. “Why is anyone injured here? Other than the Hall Master, no one usually enters this place.”
Boom!
The ground trembled slightly.
The few of them were shocked!
A companion asked, “Could it be that there’s really someone inside?”
Sihu slammed into the iron door!
Its head was swollen!
However, the door lock did not open.
It slammed into it again!
“Hey! You’ll get injured like this! No, you’re already injured!”
One hit!
One hit!
Another hit!
Sihu was bleeding from the collision. The men could not stop it.
Finally, the chain broke, the copper lock fell, and Sihu broke through the door.
A small crack finally appeared on the ceiling of the chamber. The price was that the ground under their feet had completely collapsed.
The Palace Lord took off her long belt and suddenly shot out through the gap at the top.
She remembered this direction. There was a table.
She moved her wrist, causing the other end of the belt to wrap around the corner of the table.
“Give me your hand!”
She said to Ji Minglou.
Ji Minglou grabbed her wrist.
Boom!
The ground completely collapsed. The thick mechanism winch turned and twisted the dagger that Ji Minglou accidentally dropped into the iron winch.
The two of them were a little frightened.
Even a hard dagger was like this, let alone a body of flesh and blood.
If they had fallen, they would only turn into a pool of meat paste.
However, the corner of the table could not withstand their weight and broke with a crack!
Seeing the two of them about to fall into the winch and become minced meat, Sihu suddenly barged in and bit the belt that was about to be pulled into the gap!
Its four hooves pressed against the ground, emitting an ear-piercing sound and leaving long marks!
