Yu Qingfeng walked to the door and said calmly: "We have decided not to go. Your Highness is Princess Xiaonan. You should go to King Xiaonan to save people, right? It's not appropriate to go to us."

Su Niang suddenly raised her head, her eyes shot out a cold light, pointing directly at Yu Qingfeng, wanting to tear her into pieces right away.

Yu Qingfeng was not afraid and stared at Su Niang from a high position.

Su Niang quickly withdrew her gaze, grabbed Pei Wuyan's trousers, and cried: "His Highness and King Xiaonan are in name only, and have no feelings at all, but His Highness is deeply in love with Lord Pei, and this time he entered the tower because he wanted to live and die with him...

"

"Even so, it is His Highness's own choice, not our responsibility. We have no obligation to pick up people," Yu Qingfeng pulled Pei Wuyan back, "You'd better go find King Xiaonan quickly."

Pei Wuyan stopped and said, "Wait a minute, we do have obligations. We are here under the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince to help His Highness the Princess solve her problems. I'm afraid we really have to go to the Netherworld Tower this time."

Yu Qingfeng shook off Pei Wuyan's hand.

Lin Ming and Lian Shurong surrounded Yu Qingfeng on the left and right.

"Yu Sizhi, don't be willful. Although it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty, a hero needs to know more about things, right?"

"Qingfeng, don't worry, I will protect you."

Although she was reluctant, Yu Qingfeng had no choice but to follow Pei Wuyan. How could she be absent and let Pei Wuyan face Qi Yao alone?

"Su Niang, where are you?" Yu Qingfeng walked a few steps and turned back to see Su Niang.

"Of course I want to go together." Su Niang squeezed out this sentence through her teeth.

Su Niang was really a loyal servant. Yu Qingfeng didn't offend her. Just because she offended her master, she felt sympathy for her master and wished she could kill herself.

Yu Qingfeng sneered, the tool Su Niang was really a hateful person, there must be something pitiful about her.

Five people and five horses rushed to the Netherworld Tower outside the city.

In the night, the Nether Tower looks like a lonely giant, standing in the mist, watching the former Bonan Kingdom alone, sad and angry.

Sure enough, there was a horse under the tower. It had nowhere to tie it, and it just kept spinning in a small circle, at a loss. It was excited to see a companion coming over.

However, no one was seen at the entrance of the tower. Qi Yao must have entered the tower.

"Ms. Su, you watch these horses outside, let's go into the tower to find people." Lin Ming ordered as he dismounted. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he felt dizzy and almost fell down.

Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan's horses were last.

Yu Qingfeng had just learned to ride a horse not long ago, so she was naturally the slowest; Pei Wuyan deliberately slowed down to accompany her.

What was worse than Lin Ming was that Yu Qingfeng fell down when she dismounted.

Pei Wuyan hurriedly came up to help him, but he was a little dizzy because his movements were too fast and too violent.

Lian Shurong has the best physical strength and martial arts skills. He couldn't help complaining that the other three were pampered and used to riding in horse-drawn carriages.

After several people stood still, they looked up towards the Netherworld Tower together.

The tower where the legendary entrance to hell is located, the tower with countless floors, the tower that swallowed Ye Xuanlang and Ma Lei narrowly escaped, is right in front of you.

Yu Qingfeng looked down from above. Although she couldn't see clearly in the moonlight, what she could see was the same as she imagined.

The tower is very tall, because only the top floor has windows, and it is impossible to count how many floors it has from the outside.

The top floor is surrounded by small windows, which were used to observe the military situation.

The top floor of the tower is not open-air, but has a sloped roof.

As expected, the Netherworld Tower also has a spire, which is thin and tall. As for how high it is, it's really hard to see clearly in the night.

Most of the ancient towers had spires, which should have also served as lightning rods.

The entrance to the Netherworld Tower is not a simple door. Standing in front of the entrance, you are facing a curved stone brick wall. This wall is located inside the tower and is equivalent to a screen, preventing outsiders from easily seeing into the tower.

The scene prevents wind and rain from pouring directly into the tower.

There is a small wooden door on each side of the screen. There is no padlock, so it can be pushed open at will. If the wind is slightly strong, it can be blown open.

The door is very narrow, and only one person can enter and exit at a time. With two doors, only two people can enter at the same time. If there are too many people, they have to line up to enter.

The original design of the watchtower may have been to prevent a large influx of enemy troops in a short period of time.

Standing at the entrance of the small door and looking into the tower, I can only vaguely see the spiral staircase through the moonlight projected from the top of the tower.

Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are few, so the light is pretty good.

"Your Highness Princess?" Lin Ming walked into the tower first and called into the darkness.

No response.

Yu Qingfeng followed closely and said, "Princess Xiaonan?"

Still no response.

Lian Shurong and Pei Wuyan also walked in from the other side, and all four of them entered the tower.

"Qi Yao?" Pei Wuyan called out again tentatively.

Yu Qingfeng raised the oil lamp in front of Pei Wuyan, pinched her throat sarcastically and said, "You might as well call: Yao'er, I am your brother Wuyan."

Pei Wuyan rolled his eyes at Yu Qingfeng.

Lian Shurong couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Be serious." Lin Ming patted Lian Shurong.

Lian Shurong felt aggrieved and pointed at Yu Qingfeng, "Obviously it's her who shouldn't be serious, okay? Just tell me."

The four of them quieted down and listened carefully. Except for each other's breathing and the sound of the wind, there was no sound.

Although Qi Yao did not respond, since he is here, he will patrol the tower according to the original plan.

Led by Lin Ming, followed by Lian Shurong, with Yu Qingfeng and Pei Wuyan sandwiched in between, the four of them began to climb the stairs.

After climbing five floors, Yu Qingfeng realized more and more that something was wrong.

"Do you feel dizzy?" Yu Qingfeng stopped while holding the stone pillar.

"A bit, maybe because it keeps spinning in circles, right?" Lin Ming replied.

Pei Wuyan, who was behind him, said warily: "Something's wrong, everyone, be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound above his head. Something fell from a height, hit the wooden steps, and fell down with a clang.

"Here we come, just as Ma Lei said!" Yu Qingfeng turned around and grabbed Pei Wuyan's hand behind her.

While he was talking, a falling, stone-like object hit the wooden steps where Yu Qingfeng was, and then fell from the gap.

Yu Qingfeng was so frightened that her legs softened and she slipped on the wooden board. Like Ma Lei, one leg stretched out from the gap in the wooden steps.

She immediately thought of Ma Lei's hallucination, where Wen Miaozi was holding his feet below.

Yu Qingfeng screamed and retracted her legs with all her strength.

Pei Wuyan helped Yu Qingfeng from behind and finally stabilized her.

"Did we all have the same hallucination as Ma Lei? No, we didn't drink!" Lian Shurong's voice was obviously shaking.

"Could it be that the hallucinogenic drugs are not drunk in the wine, but inhaled by us?" Lin Ming subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with the air in this tower?

"

Yu Qingfeng quickly took out the handkerchief from her waist, covered her mouth and nose, and tied it behind her head.

Pei Wuyan did the same thing.

Without handkerchiefs, Lian Shurong and Lin Ming could only tear off a corner of their clothes and cover their mouths and noses.

Several people went up to the sixth floor and prepared to rest for a while, but they heard faint sobbing coming from around them.

The oil lamp shined over it, and it turned out to be Qi Yao who was in the corner, facing the corner while crying and muttering.

"Your Highness?" Pei Wuyan called tentatively.

"No, Father, Yao'er won't marry, please, Father..." Qi Yao's shoulders trembled, he knelt facing the wall, and kept hitting his forehead against the wall, as if kowtowing.

"It seems that Your Highness has inhaled more hallucinogenic air than we have. Everyone's hallucinations are different. Her hallucination is that she is most afraid of marrying a traitor far away." Lin Ming shook his head sympathetically.

Yu Qingfeng didn't have time to pay attention to what kind of hallucinations Qi Yao had, she was more focused on herself.

She looked at the stone pillar, and seemed to see countless living white filaments extending out of the stone pillar in front of her, heading towards her neck.

"Stone pillars, indeed there are!" Yu Qingfeng shouted and got into Pei Wuyan's arms.

"What's there? There's nothing." Lian Shurong blamed Yu Qingfeng for making such a fuss, "You are timid and cowardly, so just scare yourself. Don't scare us, okay?"

Lin Ming walked up behind Qi Yao with an oil lamp, patted her shoulder, and called softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness? I am Lin Ming, Lord Pei is here too."

Qi Yao remained unmoved and continued to cry and complain to the wall.

Lin Ming waved to Pei Wuyan, meaning that he had to come.

Pei Wuyan explained to Yu Qingfeng: "Let's send the princess out to Su Niang first. It just so happens that we can also go outside to breathe some fresh air, and then turn back to investigate."

Yu Qingfeng had no choice but to let go of Pei Wuyan's hand.

Pei Wuyan walked up behind Qi Yao and called softly: "Your Highness... Yao'er."

Qi Yao finally stopped crying and tentatively turned his head slowly. Seeing that the person in front of him was Pei Wuyan, he was caught off guard and threw himself into his arms.
