MTL - To Hold One’s Joy-Chapter 512 escape

  Chapter 512 Escape

  After the ecstasy, I realized something was wrong.

   Or rather, the unbearable burning pain in his throat reminded him that something was wrong.

  Su Yao reached out to touch his throat, opened his mouth, and was shocked to find that he couldn't make a sound.

what happened?

  Su Yao's complexion suddenly changed, and his hoarse and out-of-tune voice fell into his ears, like a thunderbolt falling from the blue sky.

   After a long time, he rushed to the door and slammed on it hard.

  The sound of slamming the door came out, but the guards didn't even lift their eyelids.

  The pounding on the door gradually weakened.

  Inside the door, Su Yao's complexion was already pale, sweating profusely, like a fish jumping to the shore and dying, even the violent breathing was hoarse, which made people feel desperate.

  At this time, Governor Luo was reading in the study.

  It is said to be reading a book, but it is just opening the book and waiting for that moment to come.

  A servant got permission, and walked in lightly: "Governor, Su Xiuzhuan just woke up, and smashed the door for a long time."

   "Let him go." Mentioning Su Yao, Governor Luo's calm face turned cold.

   I really thought that being the number one scholar in the exam meant that Wen Quxing had descended to earth. Since I have a mouth that can't speak, I should stop talking.

   As for whether Su Zhuangyuan, who was poisoned and dumb, would write down what happened in the past two days by hand, Governor Luo didn't care at all.

   It's already reached the point of falling out with the emperor, do you still need to care about such a trivial matter?

   That dumb boy, he just didn't want him to talk anymore.

  Governor Luo sent the boy to retreat, and continued to flip through the book.

  On a warm spring day, a white dove flew in through the open window.

  The pigeon landed on the large desk and cooed at Governor Luo.

  Governor Luo spread his hand to the pigeon.

  The pigeon tilted its head to look at Governor Luo, then spread its wings and jumped onto his palm.

  Governor Luo gently trimmed the pigeon's feathers, and carefully removed the letter tied to its leg.

  A thin note with only two words on it: wind up.

   Chief Governor Luo crushed the note and let the pigeon go.

   Not long after, another gray pigeon flew in, and the same two words were written on the letter it brought.

  Carrier pigeons transmit messages secretly and conveniently, but everything has risks, so it is natural that one pigeon cannot be used for such an urgent message.

  Taking off his coat to reveal the light armor underneath, Dudu Luo pressed the scabbard and strode out.

  The sky has completely darkened, and it is cloudy, and the stars and the moon cannot be seen.

  The entire Luo Mansion is brightly lit, just like every ordinary night.

  Different from most ordinary people who go to bed early as soon as it gets dark in order to save lamp oil, wealthy people naturally want to be bright and bright.

  People from each courtyard quietly gathered in one place.

  Governor Luo swept across the familiar faces and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

   Immediately behind Chief Governor Luo are the four Luo Sheng sisters.

  Walking in a familiar home, Luo Yue felt lost in this tense and silent atmosphere.

  Where is father taking them?

  They are not going in the direction of the gate now...

  Luo Yue was full of doubts, and couldn't help but want to ask Luo Sheng who was walking in front, but seeing the other party's calm profile, he swallowed the words again.

  There is nothing to be afraid of, as the third sister said during the day, their family is together.

  The little girl's eyes were bright, and she quickened her pace.

  The crowd followed Governor Luo into a warehouse.

  The warehouse is very large and full of items. Perhaps it has been too long since no one opened it, and there is a faint musty smell.

   Walking to the end, a confidant stepped forward to press the mechanism, and pushed open the door that was integrated with the wall together with another subordinate.

   Inside the door is endless darkness.

  Two Jinlin Guards walked in front with lanterns, illuminating a certain area, and only then did everyone see clearly that this was a secret passage.

  The secret passage can accommodate two people walking side by side, and as everyone enters in turn, there is a long queue.

  Suddenly he yelled, and Dudu Luo was so angry that he cursed: "Lao Liu, what's your name?"

   Soon, Aunt Liu's aggrieved voice came: "Master, it's not me."

   Governor Luo frowned.

  The voice is strangely familiar, which stupid woman is it?

  At this time, a timid voice sounded: "Master, I accidentally tripped."

   Governor Luo still didn't know which one it was, and said with a calm face: "You all pay attention, wait until there is no noise outside, and see if I don't peel your skin."

   "Father, where is the exit of this secret passage?"

  As soon as Luo Sheng asked, Governor Luo's tone immediately softened: "It's near the west gate."

  Hearing that it was the west city gate, Luo Sheng was surprised.

  Even if the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in the west city, and the closest to the west city gate, it is only relatively speaking. A secret passage from Luo Mansion to the vicinity of the West City Gate took an inestimable effort.

   Luo Sheng was not the only one who was surprised.

  Hearing the low gasp, Governor Luo smiled contentedly.

   It is not easy to create such a secret passage, he has been preparing for it since more than ten years ago. To be precise, it was after leading troops to besiege the Zhennan Palace.

  The blood flowing all over the ground, and the stacked corpses are in stark contrast to the magnificent palace, which also left him with an indelible memory and warning.

  Doing the job of walking on the tip of the knife, he didn't want his home to become like Zhennan Wangfu one day, and his loved one died tragically under the knife.

  Governor Luo turned his head and glanced at the girl walking beside him.

   Especially Sheng'er, he must protect her.

   Governor Luo's thoughts flew back to that day fourteen years ago.

  Fa’s wife gave birth to a son who was weak in the womb, and died within a few days, and his wife cried all day long.

  He is a man, he can't cry, he can only watch her cry.

   Not long after, my wife ran out of fuel and came to an end.

  At that time, his wife couldn't cry anymore, she took his hand and pointed at the three-year-old Sheng'er, and shouted hoarsely: "Master, we must make our Sheng'er grow up—"

   Following the abrupt end of the voice, it was the pale and cold hand hanging down.

  In less than a month, he lost his son and wife successively, as if it was retribution for him to lead the army to besiege and kill hundreds of people in Zhennan Palace.

   The silent team walked for an unknown amount of time in the dark, and finally stopped.

  The door where the mechanism was hidden opened, and the exit was narrower, allowing only one person to pass through.

   Governor Luo went out first, and turned around to pull Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng has crawled out neatly, looking around.

   It was a courtyard, the size of which was just the most ordinary small courtyard. What surprised her was that there were lights in the courtyard, which made the light from the lamps in the hands of the two Jinlin guards no longer eye-catching.

   "I've seen the governor."

  Luo Sheng looked at the two people who were saluting to Governor Luo. They were a middle-aged couple, and they were dressed like ordinary people.

   But of course she now understands that the two are pretending to be ordinary people living here for this day.

  Governor Luo nodded slightly, waited for everyone to climb out of the secret passage, counted the number of people and ordered: "Just wait here, don't make a sound, and the biggest difficulty is going out of the city gate later."
