After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

Mei Xichen was shocked when he heard this.

Shangguan Qing whispered to Mei Xichen: "Your Majesty, let's go to another room and take a look." After saying that, the two of them quickly ran up the stairs, returned to the hall, and came to the Bagua Tu again.

Mei Xichen pressed another piece of jade with her hand, and as expected, the door opened again. The two looked at each other and walked inside. This dark room was different from the one just now. Once inside, there was a long and narrow passage, on the right hand side. There was a cage with dozens of people squatting inside, their heads lowered and silent.

Go straight to the end, there is a staircase on the left, which should be the exit to the ground.

Shangguan Qing looked towards the crowd and whispered to Mei Xichen: "My lord, look, aren't those people the same people who came out of the well?"

Mei Xichen looked at it carefully and said, "Yeah, what's going on?"

"They must have been controlled by the smell of red dodder just now. After listening to other people's instructions, the poisonous gas in their bodies must have dissipated and they have regained some consciousness." Shangguan Qing explained while looking towards the crowd.

"This should be their lair. Let's go up first and see where it is. How about I send a signal to Xu Mo and ask him to bring people over to rescue these people?" Mei Xichen seemed to be seeking Shangguan Qing's opinion.

"Okay, let's go up first and observe the situation." After that, he went up the stairs on the left.

As expected, the stairs lead to the ground, in the yard where the red dodders are planted. Mei Xichen looked around and saw no one. When the two of them came outside the house in the front yard, they heard a familiar voice saying: : "We still need to cultivate more. The empress said that we will need more in the future."

"But, Mr. Gu, this flower is easy to cultivate, but the nutrients are difficult to get." (The nutrients they are talking about are actually living people.)

"If it's not easy to get it nearby, then look for it further away. In other prefectures and counties, we must ensure supply. Otherwise, if you blame me, you and I won't be able to afford it."

"Gu Nianfeng?" Mei Xichen heard Gu Nianfeng's voice and whispered to herself.

Mei Xichen pointed at the courtyard wall, grabbed Shangguan Qing's hand and flew out of the courtyard. She ran with Shangguan Qing for a while, took out a tubular object, lit it and released colorful lights in the air.

He thought Shangguan didn't understand, so he said with a proud face: "This is a signal. Xu Mo will come here when he sees the signal I sent, and we will wait here."

With that said, he found a stone, wiped it and motioned for Shangguan Qing to sit down.

"You've been running around with me all night today, are you tired? I feel really bad for you. There will definitely be a big battle soon. I'll ask two soldiers to protect you, so don't put yourself in danger. Just wait. I'll be back, you know?" Mei Xichen said, gently scraping Shangguan Qing's nose with her hand.

At this time, Shangguan Qing looked at Mei Xichen's handsome face, the bright moonlight shining on his face, her eyes filled with doting and distress, and she couldn't bear to refuse Mei Xichen's proposal. She was afraid that following him would distract him, so although she obediently agreed to him, she decided to help him secretly. After all, with Mei Xichen by her side, she had no choice but to use her skills.

After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Mo rushed over with his soldiers.

"It should be right here. Your Majesty's position is correct." Xu Mo said to the deputy general next to him.

"My lord, where are you?" Everyone shouted softly.

"The king is here. You came just in time. Look at the house in front. Gu Nianfeng is in the house holding the lamp. Catch him quickly and follow me."

"You two stay to protect the princess." Mei Xichen pointed at the two soldiers next to her and said.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed Mei Xichen and ran towards the house. When Shangguan Qing saw her entering the courtyard, the two soldiers in front of him couldn't watch her. Their arms fell together and they fainted.

Someone was heard breaking in in the front yard, and the lights in each room in the house turned on. Instantly, the courtyard became a mess. In fact, these people under Gu Nianfeng were not real officers and soldiers, but some thugs he usually kept, so it was natural to see officers and soldiers coming. Resist vigorously.

Seeing that Gu Nianfeng was about to run, Xu Mo immediately flew over from the door and blocked his way. He put a knife on his neck and kicked him. Gu Nianfeng instantly knelt on the ground. At this time, two officers and soldiers came up and tied his hands behind his back.

When everyone saw that Gu Nianfeng had been captured, they all panicked and fled in all directions. They were all captured and killed by Mei Xichen's men.

Shangguan Qing was not worried that Mei Xichen would suffer any losses here, so she walked to the underground palace first, trying to find the secret passage leading to Concubine Xue's well.

"You, leave a few people to set fire to this place, release the people, and send them back. The rest will follow the prince." Xu Mo shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xichen and the others were so crowded that they soon found the entrance to the secret passage and walked toward its exit.

Shangguan Qing's speed was not comparable to that of Mei Xichen and others. After a while, they arrived at the wellhead. She looked at it and recalled the scene of the group of people leaving the wellhead. She concluded that the trap was near the bottom of the wellhead. She reached out and touched, and suddenly touched a loose stone on the wall and pressed it. At this time, a huge pit was exposed where she was standing, and the bottom of the well above it slowly opened up. At this time, the water at the mouth of the well poured into this pit.

Looking from the bottom up, it is about 4 meters away from the wellhead. No wonder they have to climb a ladder. Shangguan Qing looked up and flew up alone. As she was flying, she saw a hole in the wall of the well. She instantly understood that when the bottom of the wellhead was closed, the hole would generate pressure due to its artificial design, and water would flow out of the hole.

This also explains why Dang Shangguan Qing and Mei Xichen went to check that the water in the well was intact after they left.

Arriving at the front yard, Shangguan Qing heard the sound of water in the room and quietly ran over to take a look. This rat spirit turned out to be taking a bath. There just happened to be a red dodder delivered tonight in the bucket. When she looked at her body, it turned out that her skin had long been exposed piece by piece, like mouse skin. She gently wiped the skin with red dodder petals, just a few times. It has returned to its original smoothness and tenderness.

"Who?" Concubine Xue asked in a low voice.

"It's me, why don't you recognize me?" Shangguan Qing said and opened the door.

"How dare you break into my palace?" Concubine Xue said angrily.

"Stop shouting like a noble concubine. That day when the emperor held a banquet, I knew you were a rat spirit who had not practiced for more than a hundred years. I was still wondering how you could keep your body unchanged for a long time. Now it seems that everything is possible Got the answer." Shangguan Qing glared at the rat spirit in front of him.

As he spoke, Shangguan Qing's fingers began to grow longer, and sharp nails grew. The nails were as sharp as a fox's claws.
