After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Station.

After a few people came back, they simply assigned their respective tasks.

"Fu Yi and Princess stay in the village to keep an eye on the construction. I and Gu Huoyan will go up the mountain tomorrow," Ye Tantai said.

Su Qingcheng put down her chopsticks and objected: "Why should I stay at the foot of the mountain?"

Ye Tantai glanced at her lightly, with a hint of imperceptible emotion flashing in his eyes: "There are so many agencies on Qingshan Mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

"I don't need you to take care of it." Su Qingcheng said directly without thinking. When it comes to research on Qimen Dunjia and various mechanisms, she is no worse than anyone here.

As soon as she said the words, she realized that her tone was too harsh, so she explained gently: "I mean, I won't cause trouble for the prince."

"No, if there is any danger... Anyway, it can't be done. The village also needs you." Ye Tantai was firm.

Su Qingcheng's purpose of following him this time was to inquire about Qingshan. Now that he wouldn't even let her go up the mountain, wouldn't it be in vain?

She rolled her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"But... I am worried about the prince's safety, and I will have trouble sleeping at the foot of the mountain every day."

After saying that, he put his hands on his legs and balled them up, with his head lowered. If he looked closely, his cheeks seemed to be a little rosy.

When Ye Tantai heard that sentence, his expression changed slightly.

Is she worried about me? Having trouble sleeping without me?

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

"In that case, then come with us."

Gu Huoyan was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head: "Are you so easy to compromise?"

Ye Tantai coughed: "Isn't this excusable? Do you want the princess to keep her eyes open and wait for the king to come back?"

Gu Huoyan blinked and looked at Su Qingcheng, who was enjoying himself and had not heard the conversation between the two.

Isn't this girl looking happy? This is a lie to you!

He was roaring in his heart, but he could only shake his head helplessly: "Okay."

After Su Qingcheng received the affirmation, her smile instantly brightened. Wu Ya came down from upstairs and saluted beside Su Qingcheng: "Princess, the water is ready."

"Then I'll take a shower first." After Su Qingcheng finished speaking, she stood up and left.

After she walked away, Gu Huoyan couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure you want to take her with you? This trip is dangerous, and your legs and feet... are not very convenient."

After hearing this, Ye Tantai stood up without using crutches: "In fact, I have recovered a lot."

Gu Huoyan was stunned. As the heir of the Gu family, he naturally treated Ye Tantai a lot, but he tried his best to see no effect.

"She treated you?!" Gu Huoyan cast a glance in the direction Su Qingcheng left.

Ye Tantai nodded: "I will protect her."

"But...but don't you doubt her medical skills? Why would a weak woman like her want to go to a dangerous place like Qingshan?"

"Didn't she just say she was just worried about me?" Ye Tantai looked serious, as if he thought it was normal for Su Qingcheng to be worried about him.

Gu Huoyan was speechless. He felt that Ye Tantai had lost his mind today. He didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he just found an excuse to go back to his room.

Ye Tantai stopped him: "By the way, this matter is half your family matter. Have you figured out how to face him?"

"No, the Gu family owes him, not me." After saying this, Gu Huoyan disappeared around the corner.

Su Qingcheng followed Wu Ya to the shower room, took off her coat and walked into the milk bath covered with petals.

"I'll go with you." Wu Ya said.

"it is good."

Seeing Su Qingcheng's eyes tightly closed, Wu Ya was worried that she had fallen asleep while soaking in the water, so she asked, "Don't you think the defense on Qingshan is very Jianghu style?"

"Well, there is a master behind Fu Xingzhou, and... he is from the Mo family."

"It's the Mohist style."

The two of them mentioned the Mo family in unison, and raised their eyes to look at each other in the air, slightly surprised that the other party had noticed it.

"Jile Sect has dealt with the Mo family before, but the people in the Mo family are all old men with gray hair and beards that can be dragged to the ground. How can there be a weak young man who smells like medicine?"

Su Qingcheng twisted her lips and thought, and said calmly: "I think this person is not from the Mo family. He may be a close disciple of a certain elder of the Mo family."

"But doesn't the Mo family not accept outsiders?"

"I don't know, maybe there is some hidden secret."

After Su Qingcheng took a shower, she returned to the room. Ye Tantai was already lying on the bed, and she lay down directly next to him.

Have a good night's sleep.

early morning.

Several people set out to the village. The village chief carried a bag on his back and led several people through the village and around several paths to the climbing stairs.

Looking around, you can't see the end of these stairs.

"How many steps are there in total here?" Gu Huoyan asked.

The village chief touched his beard: "We haven't counted, but you can usually see the mountain temple at the end directly. Maybe it's too foggy today."

Ye Tantai frowned slightly and unconsciously moved closer to Su Qingcheng, reaching out to protect her.

Su Qingcheng looked around and smelled the air, but didn't feel anything was wrong.

The group of people followed the village chief and climbed up the stairs.

An hour later, everyone was panting.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Gu Huoyan glanced at Ye Tantai, who was a little exhausted, and turned to ask the village chief.

He didn't understand that Ye Tantai could walk without crutches yesterday, so why was he still using one today?

The village chief was out of breath: "I...I don't know, it usually takes half...an hour."

Ye Tantai took a breath and closed his eyes to feel the wind direction around him.

"We fell into a trap. The wind direction before going up the mountain was southeasterly, but now it's northwesterly."

While everyone was still digesting the meaning behind his words, Su Qingcheng continued: "If I remember correctly, this should be a formation used to transfer troops on the battlefield."

"That's right, it's just that this person is able to put the skills of arranging troops on these stone steps. He is really a genius."

Su Qingcheng confirmed his words: "Well, although this method is not easy to detect, it is also very easy to crack."

Wu Ya didn't see anything wrong at first, but after listening to the conversation between the two, she understood. She nodded slightly and whispered in Su Qingcheng's ear: "This is also the Mo family's unique secret."

Gu Huoyan looked confused: "What are you talking about?"

He stared at the couple dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask: "Why can you both understand what each other is saying?"

"You have only known art since you were a child, so it is normal not to know these things." Ye Tantai said.

Gu Huoyan turned to look at Wu Ya, but it was Su Qingcheng who asked: "Why does your maid also know?"

Wu Ya frowned slightly. What she just said to Su Qingcheng was very low. Why did he hear it?
