"What are you doubting about?"

After climbing several mountains and taking Chen Changli into the secret passage, Liu Yaoyao was almost exhausted.

She stopped and looked at Chen Changli breathlessly.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, but his complexion still looked pale, as if he was even worse than herself, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"After going through this secret passage and digging another hole in the ground, we can enter Luoyang City."

"I think if you have any questions, you can wait until we arrive in Luoyang City to discuss them. There is no need to ask now."

Listening to Liu Yaoyao's panting, Chen Changli raised his eyebrows and sighed softly: "I don't have any doubts, I just want to know Chang Xuewei's attitude towards the prince."

"Missing and guilt." Liu Yaoyao thought for a while and answered.

Chen Changli curled his lips and smiled: "It would be best if she had such feelings towards the prince."

Liu Yaoyao snorted and laughed, with a sarcastic look on her face: "While the prince was enjoying wealth and glory, Chang Xuewei was reduced to a brothel and suffered a lot. The fact that she could have such feelings towards the prince is already her..."

"I don't want to hear you defend her." Chen Changli interrupted without any hesitation, and then changed the subject, "Did you dig out these secret passages? Does Prince Rong know about it?"

Liu Yaoyao looked at him coldly and said unhappily: "I exposed these secret passages to you, which means that these secret passages are no longer useful."

Hearing her talking about other things, Chen Changli said with certainty: "Prince Rong only knows about the underground palace and secret passages in Luoyang City, but he doesn't know that there are secret passages in the mountains outside Luoyang City that can connect to Luoyang City."

When Liu Yaoyao heard this, she felt a special kind of irritation deep in her heart.

"To be honest, these secret passages were secretly dug out by the old Prince Rong. According to Prince Rong's explanation, the old Prince Rong had long wanted to rebel, and that's why he chose Luoyang City as his future capital."

"Unfortunately, he was weak and a serious illness took his life, so his layout in Luoyang City benefited Prince Rong and us."

Glancing at Chen Changli disrespectfully, Liu Yaoyao raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gently, as if suppressing all the irritability in her heart.

Old Prince Rong? If he had been plotting rebellion, then the origin of these secret passages could be explained.

Chen Changli walked in the secret passages and soon discovered that these secret passages were quite old.

He also suspected that Prince Rong had been used by the master behind Liu Yaoyao during the years he pretended to be sick, so that so many unknown secret passages were dug out in Luoyang City.

"Old King Rong died twenty years ago. In other words, these secret passages existed twenty years ago."

"Since he was able to dig out so many secret passages right under your majesty's nose, the old Prince Rong should not be underestimated."

Seeing that Liu Yaoyao looked arrogant after hearing what he said, Chen Changli quickly changed the subject.

"Fortunately, God opened his eyes and let him die early, otherwise Your Majesty would be facing the old Prince Rong right now."

These words were obviously sarcastic, but Liu Yaoyao didn't care and just asked, "Do you still want to go back to Luoyang City?"

Chen Changli nodded and shook his head: "Of course I want to go back, but I'm worried that this secret passage has been occupied by someone. If we continue to walk down, we might just walk into a trap."

"Impossible." Liu Yaoyao retorted in a lost voice.

"I just have this worry. I dare not jump to any conclusion about the specific situation." Chen Changli said calmly, but his eyes were looking deep into the dark passage.

For some reason, after he said the words that he was walking into a trap, he felt as if someone was staring at him from the front.

The feeling of being watched became more and more obvious as time went by, and Chen Changli was a little surprised that his guess came true.

He held his temper, bowed slightly and said, "I am Chen Changli. I came here by chance and had no choice. I hope you can come out and see me so that you can accept my apology."

"Is there really someone?" Liu Yaoyao's heart started pounding when she heard Chen Changli's words. Then she caught a glimpse of gazes falling on her, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Who are you?" Liu Yaoyao asked harshly, "I am Liu Yaoyao. Since you can appear in this secret passage, how can you not know my identity?"

"Miss Liu, long time no see. How have you been lately?" As soon as Liu Yaoyao finished speaking, a rough voice came from deep in the secret passage.

Five breaths later, a sound like that of an iron door was heard, and a young man eight feet tall walked out from the darkness, looking at Liu Yaoyao with a smile on his face.

His expression was gentle, as if shrouded in clouds and mist. Apart from the hazy tenderness, there was nothing else.

"Jiang Wanli! How could it be you?" Chen Changli said in a shocked tone before Liu Yaoyao could speak.

The person who appeared in front of them at this moment was Jiang Wanli, who had disappeared in the Western Regions.

Chen Changli was shocked, but his thoughts raced and he soon came up with a guess.

"You have been Tu Yuanzhou's man from the beginning. Because Tu Yuanzhou was wary and suspicious of Xu Qinglu, you lurked by Xu Qinglu's side."

"When Xu Qinglu failed to do his job well, you found a way to have the elite of the White Lotus Sect take him away, thereby gaining a higher status with Tu Yuanzhou."

"You are now in Luoyang City. Could it be that Tu Yuanzhou has some plan to implement in Luoyang City?"

Jiang Wanli had a good relationship with the Holy Son of the White Lotus Sect before, and the Holy Daughter of the White Lotus Sect also liked him, but Jiang Wanli was as hard as iron and rejected her.

Later, the saint died at the hands of Princess Ulan. Jiang Wanli was in the Western Regions at that time.

He didn't pay any attention to the saint lady and was busy with Tu Yuanzhou's affairs.

When Chen Changli was in the Western Regions before, he had also paid attention to him, but he could not find any trace of him, so he had to give up.

"Meeting under such circumstances, I can only say that we are destined to be together." Jiang Wanli smiled gently, and his whole body was as gentle as jade, like an elegant gentleman, making people unable to take their eyes off him.

Seeing that he was completely different from his previous self at this moment, Chen Changli knew that the destruction of the White Lotus Sect was what he wanted.

He and the emperor helped him unintentionally, and Xu Qinglu was indeed completely exploited. No wonder the emperor was unwilling to give up his intention to exploit her even after her death.

"There is no fate between you two, only targeted calculations." Liu Yaoyao knew who Jiang Wanli was, but she didn't expect that Chen Changli also knew him. As her thoughts turned, she became dissatisfied with Jiang Wanli.

Jiang Wanli didn't argue with her. He just smiled at Chen Changli and invited him sincerely: "My master was very happy when he knew that the Phoenix Gu was successfully refined on your body. He specially sent me to invite you. I hope you can come with me and don't make it difficult for me."

Hearing his tough tone, Chen Changli smiled bitterly: "Since you said so, how can I refuse?"

Jiang Wanli restrained his smile and nodded, "You have no chance to refuse, so please follow me and don't waste any more time."

"Okay." Chen Changli also wanted to meet the master that Jiang Wanli mentioned, so he immediately followed him, "Your master is Tu Yuanzhou. Isn't he attacking Qingzhou? Why did he come to Luoyang City?"
