Chapter 317 Secret Path

Although the tall slave traders were reluctant to serve the six girls on the ground, they had to do it because they were afraid of Xia Qiu's strength. Three girls regained consciousness after drinking a few mouthfuls of water, while the other three were still in a coma.

But the slave trader made a calculation in his heart again. He felt that if Xia Qiu's companions arrived, he was likely to be sent to prison. Instead of being caught and tortured by them, it would be better to escape now.

He was used to hiding a knife in his left shoe. Taking the opportunity to feed the girls who were caught by them water, he quietly took the knife out of his shoes and put it against a girl's neck, and then threatened, "Don't move. If you dare to move, the girl will die!" Also, lose the knife in your hand!"

"Good!" Xia Qiu had to obediently throw the plum blade to the ground, and then persuaded him, "Don't hurt her!"

By this time, Snow Rabbit had regained some physical strength, because almost all the attention of the slave trader was on Xia Qiu, so she did not find that she would take any action. She exhaled gently from her mouth, and the knife in the slaver's hand was tightly wrapped in thick ice. He was not very reconciled. He scratched the girl's neck twice with the knife. As a result, the round icicle could not cause any damage at all.

"Damn, this little girl is actually a snow girl," he cursed. Seeing that the dagger in his hand lost its attack power, he had no choice but to give up his escape plan.

"Where is this place?" The girl who had just been put to his neck sat up from the ground and asked them, and her eyes still looked very confused.

"This should be the nest of human traffickers. Do you remember how you were caught by him?" Xia Qiu asked her.

"I came to Wangcheng to find something to do and make some money. Because other hotels in Wangcheng are more expensive, I stayed in a relatively cheap sparrow hotel. As soon as I got there, the hotel clerk talked to me very warmly. He not only invited me to dinner, but also said that their kitchen might need people, and I can't remember what happened in the future. The girl responded while recalling the scene before she was stunned a few days ago, and then her eyes turned to the slave trader who pretended to be a clerk who fell to the ground and died. She let out a scream and shouted, "Ah! Isn't that him?!"

"Tell me where we are?" Xia Qiu was a little curious about why Ouyang Xiao Leng couldn't find her and Snow Rabbit for such a long time.

"Isn't this the underground warehouse of the Sparrow Hotel!" As he spoke, the slave trader pointed to his partner who had lost his breath on the ground and continued, "He accidentally found a secret channel in this warehouse that led directly to the outside of the city, just in time to take the kidnapped girl out of the city."

Xia Qiu asked curiously, "Channel? Where is the entrance?

The slave trader raised his hand to make Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit believe that he would not escape, and then counted and walked to a piece of floor tile. He looked at the frozen dagger in his hand and said, "Please restore it. I can't pry it without its help."

Xia Qiu ignored his plea, because she could hardly believe that the slave trader would not continue to look for opportunities to escape or hurt those of them. She inserted the plum blade into the gap between the floor tile that the slave trader showed her and the piece next to her, and pried it hard. After a muffled sound, the floor tile was really pried open by her. The floor tile was very heavy, and it took her a lot of effort to open it. Under it, an entrance that could only be passed by one person was exposed.

"There really is an entrance!" Snow Rabbit sighed. She took the opportunity to look down. Although the light below was very dim, she could faintly see the stairs slowly extending step by step.

The door of the warehouse was pushed open from the outside. Xia Qiu and Xue Tu turned their faces almost at the same time. Ouyang Xiao Leng rushed in, behind which were Qian Qi and Ling Yu, as well as the donkey-faced boss.

"Xiaqiu, Snow Rabbit, are you all right?" Ouyang Xiao Leng checked the situation of the two people separately. After confirming that they were not injured, he found the body lying on the ground.

"I said, how can they be my sister Xia's opponents?" Ling Yu said that he wanted to run over and hug Xia Qiu, but he almost fell into the passage on the ground.

"According to him, this secret road is connected to the outside of the city. By the way, how did you find us? Xia Qiu stretched out her hand and asked Ling Yu.

"We analyzed that since they often choose to do it with single girls who check in hotels, they will definitely hide these girls nearby in order to hide their eyes and ears." Ouyang Xiao Leng explained.

After discovering that he had lost Xia Qiu, he looked for it in the same place for a while, but the magical slave trader did not know what he could do and disappeared with Xia Qiu. He had to meet Qianqi and Lingyu first, and analyzed the possible hiding place of the slave traders on the road. Later, he thought that maybe they were somewhere near the Sparrow Hotel and did not go far.

So the three of them returned to the Sparrow Hotel again. After asking the boss, they found that the hotel really had a very hidden underground warehouse. Because the warehouse is full of old things and sundries, few people usually notice this place, and no one will enter the warehouse all year round.

Ouyang Xiao Leng was not sure whether she would appear here a second before he saw Xia Qiu with his own eyes. In any case, he didn't want to lose her news again. What a terrible thing it would be if she suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes. It turned out to be okay. As he expected, he found Snow Rabbit and Xia Qiu.

Snow Rabbit has been bowing her head and not saying anything. One reason is that her impulse has caused a lot of trouble to others. The other reason is that when she faces them again, she still feels somewhat embarrassed. She doesn't know whether her mother Miao Xueyou has admitted her crime to them, so she decided not to take the initiative. Bring up that topic.

"Let's go back to the Chenji Palace together. Everyone is worried about you, especially Wangyue and your mother, Grandpa Yong is also waiting for the news!" Ouyang Xiao Leng said to Snow Rabbit in his brother's tone.

"Uh-huh!" She nodded, and then suddenly remembered the girls on the ground, "But what about these girls?"

"Please ask the boss to take care of them first. If they need anything, just come to Chenji Palace to find us!" Ouyang Xiao Leng turned to the donkey-faced boss standing at the door and said.

As soon as the donkey-faced boss heard that it was the matter explained by the demon king fox, he immediately answered happily, "Yes, yes, give it to me!" This time it's also my fault!"

"Has this secret channel always been here?" Ouyang Xiao Leng suddenly remembered the secret matter, so he continued to ask.

"What channel?!" The boss came over to have a look, shook his head and said, "It's the first time I know that there is such a secret road here. I didn't know that this brick could move before."

"When did this hotel start to open? Are you the first boss?" Ouyang Xiao Leng continued to ask.

"No, I took over here. The former boss here was called Mrs. Lan. She was the first boss. I bought it here more than ten years ago." The donkey-faced boss replied truthfully.

"Mrs. Blue?" Ouyang Xiaomeng repeated thoughtfully.

He suddenly remembered that Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Hongye had told him that on New Year's Eve 16 years ago, many of Qingyun's men suddenly appeared in the royal city, which caught his father's army off guard. Did they take advantage of this secret channel at that time? Or there may be more than one secret path like this. He felt that it was necessary to find out all these secret channels and destroy them, so as not to give him the opportunity to fight against Qingyun again.

Speaking of Mrs. Lan, the donkey-faced boss was very angry and complained, "That old monster is very smart. At that time, he coaxed me into spending a lot of money to buy this hotel. As a result, the business has been very poor, that is, it has gradually improved in the past few years."

"Let's tie this slave trader back to the Chenji Palace first." Ouyang Xiao Leng proposed to others.

"Go!" Qianqi answered, and then patted Lingyu, "The difficult task of tying him will be handed over to you!"

The five teenagers returned to the Chenji Palace and happened to meet Wangyue and Ouyang Hongye. Wang Yue saw the snow rabbit from afar and ran over in three or two steps. She was going to raise her hand and slap the little girl to teach her a lesson, but although her hand was raised, she failed to do so in the end.

Snow Rabbit knew that Wangyue might hit him, but he did not dodge. Instead, he closed his eyes and greeted his face. After waiting for a few seconds, he turned to cry loudly. She can't remember the last time she cried like a child. At this moment, there are too many things in her heart.

"Don't cry. Your body hasn't healed yet. It's not good to cry like this!" Wang Yue stroked her hair sadly and persuaded her.

But the snow rabbit's tears couldn't stop at all. She plunged into the arms of Wangyue. The stormy crying took away the remaining strength in her body and temporarily isolated her suffering.

"What about this guy?" Ling Yu picked up the rope on the tied slave trader and asked.

"Put him up first. I want to talk to Grandpa Yong about the secret road in the Sparrow Hotel." After Ouyang Xiao Leng finished speaking, he remembered that it was too late. Looking at Xia Qiu, he looked very tired, so he asked her, "Are you going home?" Or stay here?"

"I think someone may know something about Mrs. Lan and the secret road." Xia Qiu said what he asked was not what he said.

"Yes, I must also discuss that person's matter with Grandpa Yong and Hongye." Ouyang Xiaoling continued to respond. When he was reminded by her like this, he remembered that he had forgotten the black meteorite because of the incident that Miao Xueyou was a traitor.

"Who are you two talking about?" Qian Qiqi asked the two of them with a wink.

"You'll know in a while." Ouyang Xiao Leng also sold it.

"It seems that I can't go back today." Xia Qiu didn't have the strength to return to the world and decided to stay in the Chenji Palace to rest.

Lingyu, who is still a woman's clothing, said with a charming face, "Great, Sister Xia, you can sleep in the same room with me."

"I haven't seen the sparrow girl for a long time!" Xia Qiu was amused by his appearance and joked.

"That's right!" The snow rabbit also burst into tears and laughed.

Recalling what happened when Ling Yu first arrived in Wangcheng. At that time, they wandered on the shopping street together as if it had happened yesterday. But in a blink of an eye, everything is different.
