Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 226 Dead End
The net was made of special material and was impervious to water, fire, swords and knives. It would be difficult for Yan Ciwan and Lu Jinshu to escape.

Seizing this opportunity, Manager Ge crawled towards the secret passage. As long as he hid in the secret passage, he would be safe!
But the next moment, he heard a crackling sound.

The big net was split open by Ning Dao, leaving a big hole.

Yan Ciwan and Lu Jinshu easily escaped from the net.

Manager Ge couldn't believe it. How could this be possible? He had tried to chop the net with a sword before, but couldn't cut it open. How come Yan Ciwan was able to cut it open with just one sword?!

However, before he could think about it, Yan Ciwan had already come in front of him, raised his knife and cut his throat directly.

He fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, his face full of shock and unwillingness.

At the last moment of his life, he saw four words engraved on the blade: God bless you forever.

He suddenly understood why she could cut open the big net!
Because what she held in her hand was the Ning Sword, a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Ning family. It was said that it was as thin as a cicada's wing and as soft as a snake, yet indestructible. The net, which he thought was extremely tough, was as fragile as thin paper in front of the Ning Sword.

Yan Ciwan ignored Manager Ge. She put away her Ning Dao and jumped into the secret passage without hesitation.

Lu Jinshu took a last look at Manager Ge, who died with his eyes open, and thought of Yan Ciwan's quick and decisive killing just now, and felt quite complicated.

He originally thought that she was too soft-hearted and couldn't bear to kill anyone, but now it seems that he was too superficial. Yan Ciwan deliberately exposed a flaw to Manager Ge in order to test him.

A person like Manager Ge must be very careful about his life. Just in case, he must have a trump card to save his life.

The result was very satisfactory, and a secret passage appeared in front of them.

Lu Jinshu then jumped into the secret passage.

Yan Ciwan found the mechanism in the secret passage. She pressed the mechanism, and the entrance of the secret passage slowly closed. The space in the study became tightly closed again. In this way, it would be difficult for anyone to discover the secret passage in a short time, which bought time for Yan Ciwan and Lu Jinshu to escape.

Lu Jinshu took out a tinder from his arms, blew it up, and used the faint light from the tinder to observe the situation in the secret passage.

The secret passage is very narrow and can only accommodate one person, with compacted earth walls on both sides.

Yan Ciwan walked along the secret passage and saw a small secret room at the end. Inside the secret room were some emergency supplies, including medicine, food and water.

But beyond that there is nothing.

Lu Jinshu frowned and said, "Is this a dead end?"

Yan Ciwan looked through the supplies and found that the food and water combined were only enough for an adult to survive for seven days. If a major crisis occurred, it would be useless to just hide here for seven days. He had to find a way to escape.

She guessed that there must be a secret passage leading to the outside world, so she began to search inch by inch, not leaving out any suspicious places.

Lu Jinshu also helped to look for a while, but found nothing.

He stopped and sat on the ground to rest. Seeing Yan Ciwan still trying to find it, he couldn't help but say, "Maybe there is no exit to the outside world here."

Yan Ciwan ignored him.

Lu Jinshu opened the jar of water and scooped out a bowl of water. He took a sip and made sure it was non-toxic before asking, "Do you want to drink some water and take a rest?"

Yan Ciwan still ignored him.

Lu Jinshu had no choice but to drink the bowl of water himself.

The tinder was almost burned out, so he found a candle from the supplies.

He stuck the lit candle into the ground, then quietly looked at Yan Ciwan's busy figure and sighed softly.

"Don't you think it's good to stay here? You don't have to worry about any missions, you won't be involved in other people's disputes, and you don't have to worry about the unknown future. You just need to sit here quietly. How comfortable it is." Yan Ciwan replied without raising his head: "I'm going to save grandma."

Lu Jinshu grew up with her and naturally knew how important grandma was to her.

But he couldn't help but advise: "You'd better not go to Chang'an."

Yan Ciwan heard a warning in his words.

She finally stopped and gave Lu Jinshu a glance.

"reason?"

Lu Jinshu shut his mouth and chose to remain silent.

Yan Ciwan walked up to him, stretched out her hand to grab his collar, stared into his eyes, and asked word by word: "Why can't I go to Chang'an?"

Lu Jinshu was forced to look her in the eyes.

Even in this dimly lit environment, her eyes were still bright and sincere, like a tiny fire in the darkness.

He saw his own reflection in her eyes.

He whispered, "Because I don't want you to die."

Yan Ciwan could feel that his words came from the heart.

She recalled the past scenes. He had always been silently guarding her side since she was a child. No matter what she asked him to do, he would do it obediently. He was absolutely loyal to her.

She was not a heartless person. After being together for more than ten years, she had already regarded him as her own.

It was precisely because of this that she could not tolerate his betrayal.

Yan Ciwan sneered: "But isn't the purpose of your coming here to take my life?"

Lu Jinshu did not deny it.

Yan Ciwan continued, "Since you have already decided to kill me, why bother pretending? Once we leave here, we will have a fair fight. As long as you can beat me, you can do whatever you want with my life. But if you lose, don't blame me for taking your life."

After a long time, Lu Jinshu finally squeezed out a word from his throat.

"it is good."

Yan Ciwan loosened his collar and said coldly, "I really don't understand, what benefits did Yan Tingyu give you to make you betray me and Aye? Although you are not Aye's biological son, but for more than ten years, Aye has always treated you as his own son. He has never treated you unfairly, but you turned your back on him. Don't you feel guilty?"

Lu Jinshu lowered his eyes, looked at his shoes, and said softly: "I have never betrayed my father."

"It's already come to this, and you're still trying to defend yourself. You're going to kill me for Yan Tingyu, you..." Yan Ciwan suddenly stopped talking here.

She thought of the other meaning of Lu Jinshu's words, her eyes suddenly widened, and the blood color on her face disappeared in an instant.

She murmured, "You're lying."

Lu Jinshu knew that her reaction at this moment must be very heartbreaking, so he didn't dare to look up at her, for he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.

He said softly: "Princess, I will never lie to you. Everything I said to you is true."

Yan Ciwan rushed forward, grabbed his collar, pressed him hard against the wall, and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You must be lying to me! You are a traitor, you betrayed me and Aye! I will kill you now!"
