Seeing Kong and Yan Yuru both made a decision, Zhao Yan did not hesitate anymore. He changed his clothes with Yan Yuru. In the middle of the film, Yin Niang also helped Zhao Yan break her hair and combed it into a woman's style, and also put on makeup. Speaking of which, Zhao Yan's appearance was already good, but now she dressed as a woman, she was quite handsome for a moment.

Yan Yuru and Kong, Yin Niang and the other two couldn't help but feel a little funny when they saw Zhao Yan's woman dress. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would probably have joked. Zhao Yan also noticed their strange eyes at this time, and then spread his hands helplessly and said, "This time, I'm really a polite sweeping the floor to escape. You three must help me keep this secret."

"Don't worry, Prince, we will never tell others!" Yan Yuru said with a forced smile. Although she was about to escape, she still couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhao Yan suddenly become a handsome woman.

But now is not a time to joke. After Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru changed their clothes, Yin Niang dragged the two maids into the room and locked them up, and then the three of them were about to leave with food boxes. At this time, Lekong nodded slightly to them and then returned to his room, so that there would be no one in the entire side hall. When the door was opened, the guards outside looked inside, and would only think that Zhao Yan and the others had gone to rest after dinner, and would not think of anything else.

Watching the air return to the room, Zhao Yan, Yan Yuru and Yin Niang all looked at each other, and then Yin Niang walked in front, Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru walked behind with food boxes and lowered their heads. Although the lights inside and outside the side hall were lit, they were not as bright as the sunlight after all, so as long as they were careful, there was still a great chance of getting out.

Yin Niang walked to the gate of the side hall, then took a long breath and opened the gate. Although the two guards outside the door had just changed shifts, they were usually very familiar with Yin Niang. When Yin Niang came out, they just smiled and said hello, without any stopping, and they didn't even look at Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru.

After saying goodbye to the two guards with a smile, Yin Niang took Zhao Yan and the others slowly along the corridor, in order not to reveal any flaws. At first, they walked very slowly, but after turning a corner, Zhao Yan immediately urged Yin Niang to speed up and rush towards the hall, because according to his and Kong's previous plan, there was an entrance to the underground river behind the hall, and a small boat was prepared in the underground river. As long as they could enter the underground river, Zhao Yan and the others' escape plan was half successful.

Yin Niang didn't know Kong's escape plan before. She just impulsively didn't want Yan Yuru to fall into the abyss of pain. So she decided to take Yan Yuru away. Her plan was also very rough. She simply took Yan Yuru away from the side hall where she was imprisoned and then ventured to leave the underground palace. As long as she could steal a boat on the underground river not far from the underground palace, she could take Yan Yuru away. However, with Kong's preparation in advance, they were much more confident in their escape this time.

The side hall where Zhao Yan and the others were detained was not very far from the main hall. It was probably only about 200 meters, and there was a long corridor connecting it in the middle. Yin Niang was very familiar with this place, so Zhao Yan and the others quickly rushed to the back of the main hall, and there were no people along the way. At most, there were only a few teams of guards patrolling routinely, but when they saw Yin Niang, they did not come forward to interrogate.

The body of Xu De's grandfather was stored in the main hall. Although it had already turned into a mummy body, the entire underground palace was originally gloomy, so unless necessary, few people were willing to approach the main hall, which also provided great convenience for Zhao Yan and the others. In addition, Zhao Yan also saw many festive red lanterns and red silk cloths along the way, which seemed to be preparing for tomorrow's wedding.

However, Zhao Yan was not in the mood to care about these things now. After the three of them hurried to the main hall, this place was a place similar to a patio, surrounded by tall buildings, and only a long corridor could come in. There were some flowers and plants planted in the patio, and there was a pavilion in the middle. However, in this underground environment, most of the flowers and plants around the pavilion had died, and only some plants that had low requirements for light were still alive.

"That's right, it's here!" Zhao Yan also said with surprise when he saw the pavilion in front of him. According to what Likong said, the entrance to the underground river was below the pavilion.

Yan Yuru and Yinniang were just listening to Zhao Yan’s plan to escape before they came, and they also knew the importance of this entrance, so now they heard that the entrance was here, and they were very happy. They rushed to the patio where the pavilion was.

However, Zhao Yan did not enter the pavilion, but came to the steps outside the pavilion and reached out to lift the stones that made the steps. However, these long stones were very bulky and had smooth moss on them, which made Zhao Yan feel a little useless and could not lift them up for a while.

When Yan Yuru and Yinniang saw this, they immediately stepped forward to help. As a result, the three of them worked hard together and finally lifted the top step up, revealing a dark hole below. It turned out that this was one of the entrances to the underground river. As for why it was built under the steps, it was unknown.

When one step was lifted, only a long hole was exposed, which was not enough for people to enter, so Zhao Yan and the others had to work hard to lift the remaining stone steps, and finally a hole that could enter was revealed. It was just that the hole was dark and there was no situation inside. However, if you listen carefully, you could hear the sound of water flowing inside.

Zhao Yan held up the torch he took from the road and shone it into the cave, but found that he could not see anything. He could only see a slope that was tilted downward below the entrance of the cave. Zhao Yan turned his head to Yan Yuru and the other two behind him and said, "I'll go down and take a look first, you two are following me!"

Yan Yuru and Yinniang nodded when they heard this. Zhao Yan held the torch and slid into the hole. At the beginning, the entrance of the hole was very narrow, and Zhao Yan could only lie flat and slide downwards, but soon the lower part became wider and the soil slope became less steeper, which also allowed Zhao Yan to finally stand up and then bend down.

After walking about a few dozen meters away, the sound of water below became clearer and clearer. After turning a small bend, Zhao Yan immediately felt a stream of water vapor coming to his face. With the light of the torch, Zhao Yan saw a dark river about meter wide appearing in front of him. Although the river surface was not wide, the river water was very turbulent.

"Boat! There is a boat!" Yin Niang suddenly shouted loudly in surprise, and at the same time pointed at the river surface on their right side. Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru turned their heads to look. Sure enough, they saw a small boat docked on the shore, and the long cable was fixed on the river bank, causing the boat to rise and fall along the river surface, which also made Zhao Yan and the others all show an expression of ecstasy.

But at this moment, Zhao Yan and the others suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the entrance where they came in, and there were also many people running wildly. This made Zhao Yan's face change: "Has he discovered so soon?"

"This is not surprising. The underground palace is very tightly guarded. Every time I deliver food, I actually have time limits. If I have not sent used dishes back to the kitchen at the specified time, someone will be sent to check it out. If I find a problem, I will report it immediately. I guess they have already discovered that we have left." Yin Niang explained at this time.

"So that's it. The entrance is located behind the main hall. It's not that hidden. It's probably discovered soon. Let's get on the boat quickly!" Zhao Yan gritted his teeth when he heard this. He thought he could take Yan Yuru and the others to leave the underground palace quietly, but he didn't expect to be discovered so soon. It seems that he can only escape from time to time.

After hearing Zhao Yan's words, Yan Yuru and Yin Niang immediately followed him to the boat. Zhao Yan first sent them onto the boat, then untied the cable himself, then jumped onto the boat and went down the river. The river water of this river was very turbulent. Among the three of Zhao Yan and the others, only Zhao Yan knew how to control the boat. This was what he learned when he was in love when he was in a lake in his previous life.

Zhao Yan only knows a rough idea about controlling the ship. It can even be said that it is not as good as a child who grew up by the sea. In addition, the river water is so turbulent, so Zhao Yan has always been worried that the ship will be overturned. Fortunately, although the small boat under them is not big, it has good performance and can maintain a good balance in the turbulent water flow, which also makes Zhao Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Zhao Yan had just walked out not far from the boat when he suddenly heard a noise behind him. Then Yan Yuru, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly screamed: "Oh no, there is a fire behind us. It seems that the people in the underground palace have already discovered the entrance!"

Zhao Yan turned his head and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw light behind him. Then he saw a few people holding torches rushing to the bank of the Dark River. Originally, there was no light in the Dark River. If Zhao Yan and the others extinguished the torches, those people might not be able to see them at all. However, Zhao Yan and their ships were sailing in the turbulent river water, and Zhao Yan had to see the situation on the river surface. After all, if they encountered any reefs or something, they might have to be overturned, so the torches on the bow of the boat were lit, which also made the people behind him see their ship at a glance, and immediately shouted and chased along the river bank.

Seeing the people chasing behind, Yan Yuru and Yin Niang's faces suddenly turned pale. Speaking of which, they both practiced martial arts. If they were to talk about martial arts, they might be the ten Zhao Yans, but women are naturally weak in some aspects. For example, in this case, Zhao Yan is much calmer than them.

"Go back and tell Eunuch Xu, thank you for your hospitality. I will definitely give you a heavy reply in the future!" Zhao Yan shouted to the people chasing behind him, then turned his head and smiled at Yan Yuru and comforted him, "Don't worry, the river water is so turbulent, they can't catch up with us."
