So that was it, Yu Youyou listened quietly, only to hear A Qi continue to speak, "He ran away after that, and it wasn't until I saw him again five years ago."

"Then he brought someone back. They dug this tunnel for a whole year. They wouldn't let me in. Every time they asked for some food, they asked me to take it to the back mountain."

"So you said it was a lie to deliver food by hanging it from the well?"

Aqi nodded, "No matter what, he is my father. I don't want him to die. Now that the royal family knows he is inside, they will not let him go."

"So the outlet must be in the back mountain." Thinking of this, Yu Youyou's intuition suddenly became clear.

She left Aqi's yard and went up the back hill with a few people. They searched for a long time but found nothing, "Yuyou, she couldn't have lied to us, right?"

"No, there must be an exit. As long as we find the exit, Wei Zhan and the others will be able to find it."

Fu Wenxuan pushed Pei Shao's shoulder, "Why don't you speak and persuade Yuyou."

"Keep looking, I believe her."

Surrounded by mountains, there were no exits at all. Yu Youyou gradually became discouraged. Suddenly she stopped and looked at several stones piled up in a circle, with a larger stone in the middle. Walking over, I found that the stones were placed in a very orderly manner.

Yu Youyou looked at it for a while and tried to pick up the stone in the middle, but failed. She was stunned. Pei Shao was the first to come over and said, "Junior sister, let's go back."

"Senior brother, look, there's something going on here." Yu Youyou pointed to him the stones placed in a circle in front of her, but Pei Shao said nothing.

"Can't you fly away?" he suddenly asked.

"I'm going to save him." Yu Youyou looked back into his eyes. Pei Shao twisted the stone in the middle and saw the ground shaking. A door slowly appeared on the originally empty stone wall.

Several people's eyes widened in disbelief, "There really is an exit."

Yu Youyou raised her foot and was about to go in. Anxiang exclaimed, "No, girl, you can't go in. The emperor told me to protect you."

"Don't let any of you stop me today. I am going to save him. I will be with him whether he is alive or dead."

Pei Shao whispered, "Is he really that important?"

"I want to go with Youyou." Tang Wanru held Yu Youyou's wrist and spoke firmly.

"Wanru, thank you." Yu Youyou was a little touched.

She looked at the people present and said, "I know you are worried about me, but this time, I can go in alone, and none of you should follow me."

"Yuyou, don't be confused. We are all friends. How can we let you face unknown dangers alone? The emperor told me to take good care of you. You can't run around."

Yu Youyou wanted to say something else, but saw many people pouring out from around them to surround them. The man at the head was the Southern Barbarian King, who said in surprise, "There is such a place here."

"No one is allowed to move. I'm afraid your emperor is no longer here. As the king of the Southern Barbarians, I am determined not to allow villains to run wild in our land. Today I will blow up the entrance of the cave."

"I've already had the other exit ruined."

"What!" Yu Youyou exclaimed, looking at the Nanman King, her voice turned cold, "Did you destroy the exit?"

The Nanman King did not expect that Yu Youyou would speak to him in a questioning tone, and his face became colder, "I have already had people explore this secret passage. There are so many mechanisms inside that no one can come out alive. It is best to destroy it now." way to avoid endangering more people.”

"He will come out. He is so smart and wise. He will not die. You are clearly blocking his last escape route. Aren't you afraid that he will come out and bear grudge against you Nanman? Don't forget that you have already negotiated , please don’t break your promise.”

The Nanman King's face turned pale and blue at first, but she didn't expect that she knew what he had agreed with Wei Zhan.

After realizing that he was speechless in front of so many people, he roared angrily, "How dare you, don't forget that you are not the Queen of the Jin Dynasty yet, how dare you talk to this king like this."

He made an agreement with Wei Zhan that if he could return safely this time, he would not offend the Southern Barbarians in the future. Now that his life and death were unknown, so what if he broke his promise.

"If he dies, he will be inseparable from the Southern Barbarians, and there will be a battle between the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians. Please think about it yourself, whether you want to be a sinner of the Southern Barbarians, or a wise king who loves Ziming."

"you……"

Nanman was actually speechless.

Yu Youyou's aura did not diminish at all, and her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "If something happens to us in the Southern Barbarians today, thousands of soldiers and horses from the Jin Dynasty will press into the Southern Barbarians tomorrow. Whether the Southern Barbarian King wants to choose peace or war, you can think about it slowly."

While everyone was in a stalemate, Yu Youyou ran into the secret stone door behind her, followed closely by Pei Shao, "Girl."

Everyone still wanted to go in, but the stone door was closed in front of them. No matter how hard they pressed the mechanism on the ground, it was in vain. Fu Wenxuan and others looked extremely anxious and smashed the stone door angrily.

"The Emperor asked me to take care of Youyou, since I just let her in." Fu Wenxuan looked defeated.

The lights in the secret room were dim, and a few sparks rose in the darkness, "Brother, you also brought a fire seal."

"Junior sister, there is no way out."

Yu Youyou thought he was talking about the stone door being closed, "Brother, you shouldn't follow me."

In the dim secret passage, the voices of the two people were particularly clear, "Junior sister, what kind of person am I in your heart?"

Yu Youyou didn't know why he said these words, "Senior brother values ​​​​love and justice, is humble and kind, and is an excellent person."

"So I'm so good to you. Junior sister, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

"Of course I remember."

Pei Shao's voice was distant and he led her forward very smoothly, "If it weren't for Junior Sister, I'm afraid I would have died that time."

"Senior brother, why are you talking about this again? You helped me so that I can't repay you. You have long been like my family. If it weren't for you friends, I don't know what my life would be like."

"Family." Pei Shao muttered and repeated.

"Actually, I'm not as good as my junior sister says. Maybe I'm far darker than you think."

Yu Youyou shook his head, "Everyone has a dark side. It depends on whether you can control yourself. Senior brother, don't belittle yourself."

Pei Shao paused and suddenly looked back at her. This time his eyes didn't dodge at all, he just looked at her. Yu Youyou was stunned, an idea was about to come out in his heart, and he was very frightened.
