Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

Du Tao remained motionless.

At this time, he had completely lost the enthusiasm and cheerfulness that he had just met, and his whole person seemed to be covered with a haze, which made him look particularly cruel.

"This is an internal matter of our Eastern Expedition Army, we can solve it ourselves, and I hope His Royal Highness the county king will not meddle in his own business."

Xiao Lan: "Is there a king in the world, this king is patrolling the Eastern Expedition Army for the emperor, how can it be considered a nosy? On the contrary, you have obstructed this king again and again, and it seems that there are many secrets hidden."

His eyes locked on Du Tao tightly, with a strong sense of oppression.

Du Tao smiled: "His Royal Highness the Prince has good eyesight. The Commander does not want the news of General Tang's serious illness spread out, at least in the short term, so outsiders cannot know about it, so please keep the Commander a secret from His Royal Highness."

Xiao Lian: "What if this king doesn't agree?"

Du Tao's eyes were fierce: "Then don't blame the ruthless general."

King Min's face sank, and he scolded sharply.

"How dare you threaten us, are you planning to rebel?!"

"It's really what you said, I just want to rebel!" Du Tao took two steps back after saying this, then reached out and grabbed the string beside the bed curtain and pulled it down.

With a swipe, a large net fell from the sky!

Xiao Yan pulled out the no-return knife, and the sharp blade swept across, slashing the large net above his head.

Du Tao whistled, and immediately pressed the switch beside the bed.

A floor tile was opened, revealing an underground secret passage.

He jumped into the secret passage.

Seeing this, Lu Luiguang wanted to catch up and run with Du Tao, but unfortunately he was a step late, and Xiao Fan, who was fast-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the back collar.

Xiao Lian forcibly dragged the person back.

Lu Luiguang could only watch the floor tiles close again.

Exasperated, he shouted.

"You are waiting for me!"

At the same time, a thick smoke got into the house from the crack of the door.

King Min covered his mouth and nose: "Where did the smoke come from?"

Xiao Yan tore off a sheet and tied Lu Luiguang's hands behind his back.

He walked quickly to the door, reached out and pushed the door, only to find that the door was locked from the outside.

Going to push the windows again, the result is the same, they were all locked from the outside.

Not only that, but there was a raging fire outside.

Thick smoke kept pouring into the house.

Xiao Juan called Meng Xizhou twice.

No answer.

You don't have to think about it, you can guess that Meng Xizhou and others outside must have been plotted.

Du Tao was already prepared, he planned everything.

Xiao Yan used his inner strength and kicked the door.

With a loud bang, the door fell to the ground.

The flames outside immediately spread into the house with the wind.

Xiao Lian grabbed King Min and ran out.

However, before they rushed out of the door, arrows shot in the face!

Forcing them to go back into the house.

Lu Yuguang said while coughing.

"If you can't get out, Du Tao has set up a net outside, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't escape death."

Xiao Yan turned his eyes to the entrance of the secret passage on the ground.

Du Tao just escaped from the secret passage, and there must be an exit there.

Xiao Yan walked over and begged, stretched out his hand and groped for a while beside the bed, and soon found the mechanism.

With a single touch, the floor tile opens.

Seeing this, Lu Luiguang staggered over and said panting.

"Take me with you, please."

Xiao Yan looked at the dark secret passage. He didn't know what was going on here. If there were traps inside, they would be very dangerous.

But in this situation, he has no other better choice.

Xiao Lan carried Tang Pei, who was lying on the bed, on his shoulders and said to King Min.

"let's go."

King Min has thrown his whisk away.

He followed Xiao Lianshuo and went down the secret passage together.

Lu Luiguang didn't want to stay in the house and wait to die.

He sat down on the ground, put his feet in the secret passage, and then moved down a little bit. After the soles of his feet touched the ground, he stepped down the steps.

Not long after they left, the floor tiles closed again.

It was pitch black in the secret passage.

Fortunately, Xiao Juan has the habit of carrying fire books with him.

He took out the fire book, and by the weak light, he saw a lantern hanging on the wall beside him.

He removed the lantern and lit the candle inside.

Xiao Juan handed the lantern to King Min and let him carry it.

King Min walked at the front with the lantern, Xiao Wan followed behind with Tang Pei.

Lu Yuguang walked last.

His hands were still tied behind his back, restricting his movement.

He was very afraid that Prince Lang would attack him, so he deliberately kept a distance from the two in front of him.

After walking for a while, King Min noticed a fork in the road ahead.

He asked Xiao Yan which way should he go?

Xiao Yan put Tang Pei on the ground, he squatted down, looked carefully by the dim light of the lantern, and found a shallow footprint.

He stood up, pointed to the road on the right and said, "Du Tao is going this way, we will follow him."

King Min said yes.

They continued on the road on the right.

After that, he encountered several forks one after another. At first, Xiao Lan was able to tell the direction by his footprints.

Then the footprints suddenly disappeared.

They were completely lost in this underground secret passage and couldn't tell the direction.

King Min was terrified: "We won't be trapped here, will we?"

Xiao Lan put Tang Pei on the ground, turned to look at Lu Luiguang not far away, and asked coldly.

"Do you know how to get out?"

Lu Linguang's face was ugly, and he said in a hoarse voice.

"This secret passage was quietly dug out by Tang Pei to prevent accidents.

There are only three people in the world who know the route of this secret road—

One is Tang Pei, the other is Du Tao, and the last one is Tang Pei's daughter Tang Guixi.

Du Tao only told me that there is a secret passage here, which can be used to escape at critical moments.

But he didn't tell me how to go to find the exit. "

King Min immediately walked to Tang Pei's side, and the dim light of the lantern reflected on Tang Pei's face.

His face was terrifyingly pale, and even though he was carried on his shoulders for so long, he still showed no sign of waking up, his eyes were tightly closed, and he remained motionless.

King Min tried to shout twice.

"General Tang, Tang Pei!"

Xiao Lian stretched out his finger and placed it under Tang Pei's nose.

Seeing this, King Min's heart skipped a beat: "What are you doing? General Tang is in a coma, not dead. Do you need to take a breath?"

Xiao Yan retracted his finger: "He's out of breath."

As early as the moment he saw Tang Pei, Xiao Yan felt that Tang Pei didn't look like a living person.

He wanted to sniff Tang Pei's breath, but was blocked by Du Tao.

Afterwards, he carried Tang Pei to escape for his life, and he could clearly feel that Tang Pei's body was terrifyingly cold, with no temperature at all, and his limbs were even a little stiff.

At this time, I took a breath, and the result was as expected.

People are really dead.

King Min was so frightened that he fell to the ground: "Dead, dead? How could this happen?"

There are only three people in the world who know the exit of the secret passage——

Among them, Du Tao has already run away, Tang Guixi's whereabouts are unknown, and it is very likely that an accident has also occurred.

Now there is only one Tang Pei left, but he is already dead.

So what do they do?
