"Ulan is not big, and this secret road connects the entire Ulan in all directions. As long as we find the right direction, we can quickly reach the capital from Xinbul."

Zhou Shaojun took a slow breath and glanced around. His eyes were sharp and dark enough to scare the hearts of those who accidentally met his gaze.

"But this secret passage is not safe. We have to be vigilant at all times. Once we find that something is wrong, we have to quickly find a way to hide ourselves."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shaojun glanced at his daughter and saw that her brows were slightly furrowed as if she was worried, so he couldn't help but say something to her.

"This secret passage was built by Princess An Qing for a long time. She also sent many people to guard it, but I also found a way to infiltrate it, so we can walk safely now."

His words were to comfort his daughter, and also to remind Wan Shufang not to misunderstand that anyone could use this secret passage.

Wan Shufang understood what he meant, and felt that the dense passages were like spider webs, binding people, forcing people to have to cheer up to live, otherwise they might suffocate to death.

Zhou Shaojun, however, found a way to infiltrate this place. From this, it can be seen that he has been fighting wits and courage with Princess An Qing during the years he lived in Ulan.

Princess An Qing appears to be the uncrowned king of Ulan, but in fact she may be a chess piece that can be abandoned at any time.

"Old General Zhou, do you want to return to the capital to see His Majesty?" Wan Shufang couldn't explain how she felt in her heart, but she always felt that Zhou Shaojun had suffered beyond imagination in the past few decades.

Zhou Shaojun smiled slightly: "It's very painful to deal with Princess An Qing, because I have to be tight at all times, so I never thought about returning to the capital."

When Wan Shufang heard this, she felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart, just because she thought of Chen Changli, who was inexplicably feared by the emperor.

At first she thought that the emperor was unwilling to reuse Chen Changli because of his great achievements, but later she learned that he was so afraid of Chen Changli's half of the Xu family blood.

She then guessed that the case involving Prince Mingde fifty years ago was very involved, and even the defeat of Prince Mingde was secretly planned by the emperor.

The emperor was fueling the misfortune of the Xu family's fate, which is why he felt so uneasy when facing people related to the Xu family.

Princess An Qing hated the emperor and was willing to work with the rebels to plan to overthrow Da Jing. Wan Shufang had to wonder if the emperor had expected it, so she sent Zhou Shaojun over.

She was a little worried that Zhou Shaojun had been fighting Princess An Qing for decades. His loyalty to the emperor had long been distorted, and now he didn't even care about his own life.

How can a person who doesn't even care about his own life care about other people's lives.

Wan Shufang couldn't help but have random thoughts in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She only looked at Zhou Shaojun with concern, trying to get a glimpse of his true emotions from his unusually calm face.

Nothing could be seen, and Wan Shufang's voice unconsciously slowed down: "Your Majesty must remember General Zhou and look forward to your safe return to the capital."

When Zhou Shaojun heard this, his eyes were complicated and vague, and after a while he smiled and said: "If I can return to Beijing safely, it will naturally be your credit. As for Your Majesty, I believe he will remember me."

When the girl heard this, her face turned livid, and her voice seemed to be mixed with ice: "Dad, you suffered all the hardships in Ulan because you were loyal to His Majesty. He must remember you."

Wan Shufang heard something was wrong with her tone and looked at her specifically.

Seeing her eyes staring at Zhou Shaojun with persistence, as if waiting for his reply, Wan Shufang had an idea in her mind.

That is, this girl actually does not agree with her father's efforts, and she also hopes that all her father's efforts and sufferings will be known and remembered by the emperor.

"Silly boy." Zhou Shaojun obviously knew what his daughter was thinking, and couldn't help but reach out and gently rub her hair.

The girl's eyes turned red but she said nothing because she knew very well how persistent her father was.

She could only suppress her sourness and unwillingness, silently support him and lead him forward.

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and a bit of sadness seemed to permeate the air.

Wan Shufang felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She glanced at the girl inexplicably and lowered her eyes, secretly thinking about the father and daughter.

Suddenly, the sound of swords clashing came from the secret passage ahead on the left. Wan Shufang was startled and held her breath unconsciously, but she quickly followed Zhou Shaojun.

At this time, the entire secret passage seemed to have been activated, and smoke was erupting from all the aisles.

Wan Shufang has a keen sense of smell and can tell in the blink of an eye that the smoke is poisonous.

She was surprised and surprised, but her mind quickly took out the antidote pills from the hospital space.

She swallowed one pill herself, then quickly handed two pills to Zhou Shaojun and his daughter, then lowered her voice and asked, "Could we have been discovered?"

Zhou Shaojun underwent acupuncture with two major acupuncture methods, and the medicinal materials Wan Shufang took out were all old, so when he woke up after taking the medicine, he looked much better.

But Wan Shufang knew very well that this was just an appearance, but Zhou Shaojun didn't care about his physical condition. Instead, he supported his weak body and drove for an hour.

Now that the corridor began to emit poisonous mist, Zhou Shaojun's weak body became his biggest drag. Even taking antidote pills would not help.

As soon as Wan Shufang's worried words came out, Zhou Shaojun felt uneasy, but he responded quickly, "We have to get out of here as soon as possible."

He forced himself to endure a lot of discomfort and immediately led the girl in one direction.

Wan Shufang noticed that his face was not very good, so she knew that he was holding on.

Worry arose in her heart, and she immediately followed him, but her mind was rapidly thinking about what she could do to alleviate Zhou Shaojun's pain.

Thinking of the painkiller, Wan Shufang immediately took it out and was about to hand it to Zhou Shaojun when there was a noise behind her.

The sound was urgent and hurried, as if someone rushed in here, then accidentally ran into the secret and ran away in a panic.

Wan Shufang felt strange in her heart, but she couldn't help but raise her heart in her throat because she was worried that it was Princess An Qing's people who came over.

She doesn't know martial arts, and Zhou Shaojun is unable to resist the enemy due to his physical condition. If they accidentally bump into this unknown person, the three of them, who are old and weak, may lose their lives.

Just when she thought of this, Wan Shufang suddenly felt the wind coming from behind. She subconsciously took out the powder from the hospital and sprinkled it behind her.

"Shufang, it's me." A familiar and urgent voice sounded, and it was like thunder exploding in Wan Shufang's ears.

She couldn't help being frightened and hurriedly turned around to look at the visitor, then her eyes turned red, and her voice was full of worry and surprise: "Chen Changli, why are you here?"
