Chapter 17 Rescue
"My nephew Duan Yu has been taken care of by you. Duan Zhengming of the Duan Clan of Dali has come to express his gratitude!"
Duan Zhengming's voice not only spread throughout the entire valley, but even Hua Hegen, Gao Shengtai and Chu Luren who were at the other end of the Wanchou Valley beside the tunnel could hear it clearly.
And even if you are at the mouth of the valley, you won't feel the deafening sound, you will just feel like it is "delivered" to your ears.
Seeing Chu Lu Ren's surprise, Gao Shengtai explained: "It is your Majesty's 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission', which requires deep inner strength to achieve."
At this time, Chu Lu Ren also remembered that Yideng had demonstrated the ability to transmit sound over several miles in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Although that was in the plain area of Xiangyang, the level of martial arts in this world is already high, so it is not surprising that Duan Zhengming's voice can penetrate the complex terrain of Wanchou Valley.
After hearing Duan Zhengming's voice, Hua Hegen knew that this was a signal from His Majesty, so he quickly continued digging the hole!
Originally, he had already dug into the Wanghou Valley two days ago, but he thought that if he continued digging, it might alert others, so he stopped and waited for the opportunity today when there was no one around.
Hua Hegen seemed to be possessed by Wu Xie at this moment, and every pore on his body was telling of his pride as a tomb robber...
Chu Luren felt a little embarrassed for him. He really didn't know what there was to be proud of in this profession.
Gao Shengtai couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Hurry up, His Majesty has sent a signal. Let's go there quickly while the masters in the valley are being held back. What if the prince..."
Duan Yu is a young man after all. Gao Shengtai is worried that the night will be long and troublesome. Chu Lu Ren continues to wonder - has no one of you thought of using your hands?
"Prime Minister Gao, rest assured. Don't you trust me, Hua Hegen? I will dig directly under the stone chamber and rescue the prince. No one will know..."
Hua Hegen patted his chest loudly, and then...then the group came to Zhong Ling's boudoir.
Looking at the surrounding layout, it didn't look like the stone chamber where Duan Yu was imprisoned. Chu Luren and Gao Shengtai looked at Hua Hegen speechlessly.
Hua Hegen blushed: "The map drawn by the imperial concubine is too rough, too rough!"
But at least we didn't encounter the worst situation. The exit of the tunnel is still in the house, so at least it won't be discovered by the servants in the valley immediately.
But at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a little girl about sixteen or seventeen years old walked in with a sad face.
Their eyes met, the little girl's eyes widened, a look of fear showing. Before she could scream, Chu Lu Ren pressed the acupoints.
Hua Hegen and Gao Shengtai looked at each other with a hint of shock in their eyes. They had heard before that Chu Luren's martial arts was not inferior to the latter two of the Four Evils, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.
Because of Chu Luren's age, the two instinctively believed that Chu Luren's Kung Fu was at best just good among his peers...
However, when the three of them attacked at the same time just now, it was Chu Lu Ren who had an injury on his foot who was the first to subdue the intruder. His physical skills were truly amazing. In terms of physical skills, perhaps only Ba Tianshi and Ba Sikong in Dali could compete with him!
When Chu Lu Ren saw the girl's clothes, he guessed that she should be Zhong Ling. After she was mute-pointed, she looked at him with her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and Chu Lu Ren couldn't help feeling a little apologetic.
"Who are you? You are a maid in the valley. Do you know where my prince is imprisoned? If you know, just blink your eyes." Hua Hegen stepped forward and asked.
Chu Lu Ren rolled his eyes. Just by looking at Zhong Ling’s clothes, he knew that she was not a maid.
"Are you sister Zhong Ling? I heard Brother Duan mention you. We are here to rescue him." Chu Lu Ren asked directly.
Zhong Ling blinked at him when she heard that.
"Young Master Chu, do you recognize this man?" Hua Hegen asked hurriedly when he saw that Chu Lu Ren was about to let him go.
"Yes, I heard from Brother Duan that Miss Zhong and Brother Duan had experienced life and death together. I think she will help us." Chu Lu Ren had already untied Zhong Ling's acupoints as he spoke.
"Are you here to save Brother Duan Yu?" Zhong Ling asked as soon as she was released.
Chu Luren thought: You are really smart, it’s right to call you brother.
"Yes, do you know where the prince is imprisoned?" Gao Shengtai asked hurriedly.
"I know. It's not far away. But there's a weirdo guarding there. Even my father can't beat him. You guys..." Zhong Ling seemed a little worried about the three of them.
Of course, her judgment was correct. Even if Chu Lu Ren's foot was not injured, the three of them combined would not be a match for Duan Yanqing.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhong. Just point out the location and we will take care of the rest!" Hua Hegen has regained his confidence.
The stone chamber was not far from Zhong Ling's boudoir. Hua Hegen estimated the time and thought that they should still have time, so they went back to the tunnel and started digging again.
Chu Lu Ren thought to himself: You better be more reliable this time, don’t dig directly under the opponent’s chessboard, otherwise I will be really defeated!
Soon...
"This is it!" Hua Hegen said, and started poking upwards with a shovel.
At this time, the mother and daughter had been knocked unconscious by Duan Yu. Duan Yu himself was in the stone chamber, suppressing his desires with reason and constantly walking in the Lingbo Weibu to vent his physical strength. Suddenly, he heard a thudding sound from the ground, and finally there was a "crash" and a piece of it collapsed!
"what are you doing?"
Duan Yu heard the voice of the Chu Lu people coming from below and quickly leaned over.
Hua Hegen was seen covering his arm. He had just been hit by Chu Luren's finger, but he was not seriously injured. "This... Since Zhong Wanchou wants to plot against the prince, why don't we play a joke on him..."
Zhong Ling blinked her big eyes and hid behind Chu Lu Ren in fear. Just now, Hua Hegen wanted to attack her, but was stopped by Chu Lu Ren who was on guard.
"Nonsense! Is it possible to joke like this?" Chu Lu Ren said dissatisfiedly.
Hua Hegen's face turned red with embarrassment and he apologized to Chu Lu Ren repeatedly.
In the original novel, Hua Hegen knocked Zhong Ling unconscious in order to take revenge on Zhong Wanchou, so that Duan Yu could carry her out, causing Zhong Wanchou to embarrass himself.
Of course, he didn’t know at that time that Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing… were actually “the same”.
But now that there are Chu Lu people, they will not let him do this at all. Not to mention Zhong Ling's identity, she just took the initiative to lead the way, how can you repay kindness with enmity? If you have the strength, go find Zhong Wanchou!
"Is it Brother Chu and Uncle Hua? Sister Zhong Ling, why are you here too?" Duan Yu's voice was already very weak.
Chu Lu Ren knew that Duan Yanqing was outside. He was not going to be deaf even if he was playing chess seriously. It was not suitable for him to stay here for long. He did not say much and hurriedly went up to pull Duan Yu up and leave...
Unexpectedly, just as the Chu Lu people pushed Duan Yu into the tunnel, the door of the stone chamber suddenly broke into pieces with a loud bang. It turned out that Duan Yanqing heard the sound and broke in directly!
