Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Kong Xuande said calmly, "What kind of relationship do we have? I wouldn't dare to do something like cheating even if you gave me ten times the courage."

When Wen Baicao heard this, he narrowed his eyes, as if examining whether Kong Xuande's words were true or false.

His eyes were quite cold, like a knife scraping at people's hearts. Kong Xuande met his gaze calmly, as if what he said was true and Wen Baicao should not doubt him.

"I'm not doubting you. I'm just worried that you've been deceived, so you're saying something half-truthful to me."

Wen Baicao looked innocent, but what he was thinking was probably only known to himself.

Kong Xuande said earnestly, "Wen Baicao, the moment you chose me, you and I were on the same boat, so no matter who gets into trouble, the other one won't be any better off."

When Wen Baicao heard this, she paused holding the teacup, but her eyes were as sharp as a hawk: "Kong Xuande, you don't have to remind me in this way."

Kong Xuande's eyes were gloomy when he heard this, and he spoke much faster than before: "What do you mean? Don't you believe me?"

Wen Baicao asked curiously, "Why do you think so? I just want you to know my plan. You should use your brain more in the future and stop saying things that may cause misunderstanding and make me suspicious."

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to contain sharp thorns, piercing every word into people's hearts.

Kong Xuande felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He felt as if Wen Baicao had seen through his plan and was deliberately using such words to point fingers at him.

He had to cheer up and stare at Wen Baicao vigilantly.

Seeing him take a sip of tea, Kong Xuande's mind was in a thousand thoughts, but he smiled and said, "Why do I feel that you are a little uneasy? Wen Baicao, when you came to see me, could it be that someone noticed you?"

He immediately thought of what Ning Guzhou and the others had said, and couldn't help but suspect that Wen Baicao's whereabouts would be known to others because he had not concealed himself well.

"Someone did notice me, but that person has nothing to do with you." Wen Baicao curled her lips and smiled, staring at Kong Xuande with a rather subtle look.

Kong Xuande met his gaze, his heart beating wildly, but his face was confused, as if he didn't know what Wen Baicao meant.

Wen Baicao poured him a cup of tea when she saw this: "Kong Xuande, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. So there are some things you have to think about carefully and not give up halfway."

Hearing what he meant, it seemed as if he had guessed what they had talked about in private and was giving him a warning at this moment. Kong Xuande picked up the tea and took a sip, and then he felt that the uneasiness in his heart was reduced a lot.

He secretly exhaled a breath of foul air, then smiled and said, "I know what to do, don't worry."

His words were sincere and heartfelt. Wen Baicao couldn't help but be excited: "Among the four of you, you are the one I trust the most. Otherwise, why would I come to find you after leaving Yongzhou City?"

"But I hope you can remember one thing, that is, my trust is not so easy to gain. If you have other thoughts, you must tell me in advance and don't try to hide it from me, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Hearing these threatening words, Kong Xuande's heart shuddered and he became a little alert, but his eyes were staring at Wen Baicao with innocence and confusion as usual.

Seeing him put on such an attitude, Wen Baicao was not prepared to dwell on this matter, and changed the subject as he wished: "Do you know where the Eighth Prince went?"

"He is in Wuling Mountain." Kong Xuande replied quickly.

Wen Baicao said meaningfully: "Wuling Mountain is a good place, so much so that the Eighth Prince has set his sights on it."

Wuling Mountain is very close to Mingyue Mountain, but Wuling Mountain is much more mysterious than Mingyue Mountain because it is covered with a layer of clouds and fog all year round.

If there is no one familiar with the place to lead the way, you will get lost in the clouds.

Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan followed a group of people to Wuling Mountain. Before they had time to find the woman surnamed Xiong to inquire about the situation, they learned that the eighth prince had evacuated here with his men.

She and Jiang Xuan were both very surprised to hear the news. When the Eighth Prince came over and Old Lady Shang followed, they looked at each other and the atmosphere was quite subtle.

But after a day, Wan Shufang found out the reason why the Eighth Prince evacuated. In order to find out what happened to Chen Changli, she had to cooperate with Old Lady Shang to study various poisons.

Today, they finally managed to produce the poison that the Eighth Prince needed. Before Wan Shufang could even breathe a sigh of relief, Old Lady Shang told her the news that the Eighth Prince was planning to contact the Miao people, and they both had to follow him.

Wan Shufang had a splitting headache, obviously troubled by the Eighth Prince's actions, "What on earth is the Eighth Prince planning?"

Old Lady Shang looked solemn: "What else could it be? Isn't it just that you gave up Yongzhou City and wanted to go to Bashu?"

Jiang Xuan, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard what Old Lady Shang said: "The situation in Bashu is much more complicated than Yongzhou City. If the Eighth Prince rushes in without making any preparations, he will probably suffer a great loss."

"Do you think he hasn't thought of this?" Old Lady Shang's cold face was angry for a moment, "He has already thought it through, but he plans to let us contribute."

"This man has really thought of everything. If you don't do as he says, you will offend him and even lose the peace you have now."

"But if we listen to him and do what he says, we will be the ones hated."

Old Lady Shang's tone was quite annoyed. She had never thought that she would have to help the Eighth Prince gain the trust of the Miao people.

If she had known this earlier, she would have hidden her identity and waited for the right opportunity to act.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world. It is useless for Old Lady Shang to regret now. She can only try to persuade Wan Shufang to stand with her and not be sold out by the Eighth Prince and still count the money for him.

"Wan Shufang, the Eighth Prince has obviously given up on Yongzhou City completely by doing this."

"That means we can't go back. We can either stay in Wuling Mountain and survive, or reach a cooperation with the Miao people and use their help to leave Wuling Mountain and go to where the Han people live."

"But in this case, the poison in our hands must be approved by the Miao people, and then the Eighth Prince will give some benefits to gain the trust of the Miao chief. Otherwise, the two of us may be regarded as provocateurs by the Miao people and will be hated and targeted."

Old Lady Shang was a member of the Gu tribe after all. She knew the characteristics of the Miao people very well, even if she didn't explain them in detail. She knew a little bit about them, so she knew clearly how much the Miao people rejected foreign poison masters and Gu masters.

She was worried that the Eighth Prince was attracted by the Miao people's strength and was prepared to use the two of them as pawns in a deal.

"If the Eighth Prince really has such a plan, he will come to us again and make his point clear."

When Wan Shufang saw the solemn look on Old Lady Shang's face, she immediately realized that the Miao people were not easy to get along with.

If they don't make full preparations, they may die without a burial place.

She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that she would never see Chen Changli and the children again.

She also wanted to cooperate with Old Lady Shang, find out everything, and then convince the Eighth Prince not to act impulsively.

But apart from coming here and seeing them once, the Eighth Prince has been elusive since then. If they want to see him, they don't know when he will be gone.

"Madam Shang, I know what you are worried about, but this matter is not subject to our will. If the Eighth Prince does not cooperate, no matter how much we prepare, it will be useless."

Jiang Xuan nodded solemnly: "That's the truth. Mrs. Shang, instead of worrying about this and that, you might as well do your job well."

Old Lady Shang listened to what they said and felt annoyed: "That being said, it is better to prepare early than to do nothing."
