After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

Shen Zhaixing suddenly realized that he seemed to have not seen Nan Jiamu since he arrived here.

Xie Luochen was also slightly stunned when he heard this. He glanced around the crowd and also did not see Nan Jiamu.

"I didn't see it either."

"Not here?" Shen Zhaixing frowned, and suddenly an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

At this critical juncture, Nan Jiamu was not there, which made him start to suspect whether there was a trick.

Nan Jiamu had been in the Xuanjia Army for five years. It was hard to say whether the relationship between him and the Li family was as incompatible as he saw it.

After all, the Li family and his father have always been at odds, so it is not impossible that they would join forces with Nan Jiamu to set a trap for him.

Shen Zhaixing looked towards the intersection. As soon as Nan Jiamu left, General Li appeared with the Black Armor Army. This was too much of a coincidence.

What made him even more uneasy was that the cave where the stolen goods were found was the one that Nan Jiamu brought them to, and no one could tell whether there were any stolen goods in it.

All kinds of doubts were circling in his mind. The more Shen Zhaixing thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he act so impulsively and follow Nan Jiamu here without investigating anything?

"I'm here!"

When Shen Zhaixing was puzzled, Nan Jiamu suddenly jumped down from the tree, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth and came to Shen Zhaixing: "Don't worry, Lord Shen, I just went to explore the way."

"Explore the way? Exploring what way?"

Shen Zhaixing stared at Nan Jiamu vigilantly, holding the sword at his waist. If Nan Jiamu showed any abnormality, he would kill him with one sword.

"Move the stolen goods away from here quickly!" Nan Jiamu didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with Shen Zhaixing.

"What's wrong, sir?" Nan Jiamu looked around and suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at Shen Zhaixing and teased, "Sir Shen, have you not opened the door yet?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhaixing choked. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and replied, "You speak as if you can open this door!"

Nan Jiamu glanced at Shen Zhaixing indifferently, and realizing something, he walked towards the stone gate and rubbed it up and down.

"What are you touching?" Shen Zhaixing frowned and said unhappily as he looked at Nan Jiamu's actions.

"Oh!" Nan Jiamu responded, then turned around and looked at Shen Zhaixing, "I have secretly followed General Li here before. I saw him put something on the door, and the door opened. I think there must be some mechanism on the door."

When Shen Zhaixing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

If he had known there was a trap, would he have asked people to break down the door?

I've been smashing it for a long time but still can't break it open. It's so embarrassing!

Nan Jiamu stared at Shen Zhaixing for several seconds before he spoke: "What's the point of saying it? It's useless if we can't find the mechanism, right?"

Shen Zhaixing: ...

Shen Zhaixing was silent for a moment, then looked at Nan Jiamu and said, "Hurry up and find the mechanism!"

Nan Jiamu shook his head helplessly upon hearing this and turned his attention back to the stone gate.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Found it?" A hint of disbelief flashed across Shen Zhaixing's eyes.

"Don't talk!" Nan Jiamu made a gesture to Shen Zhaixing to keep quiet, and his hand found a protrusion under the door.

Upon seeing this, Shen Zhaixing immediately shut up and waited quietly.

After a long while, he looked at Nan Jiamu and asked, "How is it, did you find anything?"

"Click——"

Nan Jiamu exerted force and heard a sound coming from the stone door.

Just when Nan Jiamu and Shen Zhaixing thought that the stone door should be opened, there was no movement at all. It seemed that it was just a slight movement due to disrepair.

"Boom-"

Nan Jiamu kicked the stone door, but the pain made him groan, and the stone door did not move at all.

“Come on, stop going crazy.” Shen Zhaixing looked at Nan Jiamu speechlessly. She thought he would make some new discoveries, but in the end... it was all for nothing!

"What should we do now?" Nan Jiamu looked at Shen Zhaixing and asked, "Are we just going to go back in disgrace?"

Doesn't this mean that they are completely defeated?

"Do you think I want to?" Shen Zhaixing rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "The stone gate can't be opened now, and the horses can't fight. Why don't we go back and stay here and wait to be surrounded by them?"

"Master Shen, what do you see here?" Xie Luochen suddenly pointed at a groove on the stone door and asked, "This is different from the other places. It's very smooth, as if someone touches it often."

"Besides, when you asked me to come here just now, Lord Shen, there was no groove here. This groove appeared after the stone door made a noise for a while. Do you think this groove is the key to opening the stone door?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaixing hurried forward to take a closer look, and saw that there seemed to be a keyhole in the center of the groove.

"I finally got smart for once, but it's useless." Shen Zhaixing looked at Xie Luochen, shook his head and sighed, "The key to the Li family is naturally in the hands of the Li family. We... came here for nothing."

Shen Zhaixing thought, no wonder the Li family wasn't worried at all even though they knew I was here to find something to hold against them!

It turned out that he was determined that even if he found the stolen goods, he would not be able to get them out!

"Let's go..." Shen Zhaixing adhered to the idea of ​​keeping the green mountains, there is still hope, and was unwilling to confront the Xuanjia Army head-on, so he wanted to withdraw.

"Why are you walking? You are not allowed to walk!"

Shen Zhaixing has a way out, but Nan Jiamu doesn’t. If he misses this opportunity, he will never have a chance to turn things around!

In the past, he thought that he would die and it would not be a big deal. However, after seeing Xiao Yuan'er yesterday, he realized what kind of life they were living in the capital.

If I died, my parents and Xiao Yuan'er would be bullied for the rest of their lives, and Xiao Yuan'er would be forced to marry someone she didn't like.

No!

He can't die, he has to go back alive!

"Who is the master? I listen to you and you listen to me?" Shen Zhaixing glared at Nan Jiamu. Who was Nan Jiamu? What right did he have to order Shen Zhaixing to make a decision?

Shen Zhaixing raised his foot and wanted to leave, but Nan Jiamu immediately blocked his way and made it clear that he would not let Shen Zhaixing go.

Shen Zhaixing also got angry. From childhood to adulthood, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"Nan Jiamu, get out of my way! If you don't appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Shen Zhaixing glared at him, but Nan Jiamu refused to give in.

Seeing this, Shen Zhaixing stopped talking and started hitting him.

After all, Nan Jiamu had been in the army for five years and was no pushover. When the two of them started fighting, Shen Zhaixing quickly lost the upper hand.

"Stop fighting!" Xie Luochen was extremely anxious. He opened his mouth to shout but no one listened to him.

The more Shen Zhaixing fought, the more anxious he became, and the more panicked he felt.

Nan Jiamu became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He knew that this was his only chance and he had to use Shen Zhaixing's hand to seize the military power of the Xuanjia Army, otherwise he would never be able to turn things around!

Shen Zhaixing also knew that it was beneath his dignity to fight in public, but he just wanted to beat Nan Jiamu up to vent his anger!

Nan Jiamu punched Shen Zhaixing in the chest. Shen Zhaixing groaned and took several steps back before he could finally stop.

Seeing that Shen Zhaixing wanted to fight again, Nan Jiamu stopped him and said, "I don't want to fight with you!"

"My goal is the same as yours. We both want to overthrow the Li family! It's not the last moment yet. Why can't you think of another way?"

"A solution?" Shen Zhaixing sneered, "You better think of a way to open this stone door! Did I not give you a chance? It's you who can't open it!"

Nan Jiamu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Zhaixing sharply, but he was speechless.

Seeing this, Xie Luochen quickly ran to their midst, stopped them and prevented them from fighting again.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Master Shen, do you still remember what that master gave you?"
