My emperor, long live!

Chu Yunxi brought a team of dark guards, Pei Mo and Qin Ran mixed in the dark guards, and quietly went to the border between Liuli Kingdom and Qin Kingdom in the dark.

The border between the two countries is a desolate and uninhabited place, with continuous high mountains and dense forests, which looks very dangerous.

Following the route drawn on the map, Pei Mo found the entrance of the underground palace indicated in the picture. The entrance was hidden in a cave, surrounded by wild vines and grasses that could not be named.

Chu Yunxi commanded several hidden guards to push aside the dense weeds with sharp thorns. One of the hidden guards was accidentally scratched by the thorns. As soon as he saw the blood, the injured guard suddenly widened his eyes. , Covering the wound on his hand, he fainted to the ground.

Everyone watched his skin slowly turn black, and he died in an instant, with the astonishment before death still on his face.

Seeing the indescribable weed with such severe toxicity, Chu Yunxi was stunned immediately, commanding the dark guard who pulled the weed, and said in a deep voice: "The poison on this grass is so poisonous that blood seals the throat. Pull it out!" Wrap your hands with your sleeves and be careful not to get stabbed!"

When the hidden guards heard this, they immediately retracted their hands into their sleeves, and continued to carefully pull out the poisonous weeds blocking the way at the entrance of the cave with the protection of their sleeves.

The weeds were almost uprooted. Pei Mo led the way with a map. When he got in, he saw the same poisonous weeds growing on the wall of the cave. Don't rush in, go slowly!"

Qin Ran watched Pei Mo focus on protecting her, but he forgot to take protective measures. He carefully unfolded his loose outer shirt to cover both himself and Pei Mo: "Don't focus on the map, you will forget the danger."

Hearing Qin Ran's coquettish but caring tone, Pei Mo curled his lips and smiled, bending his eyes as bright as stars.

The further you went into the cave, the more humid the surrounding air became, and the passage became narrower and narrower. The two people who were walking side by side had to switch to one in front and one behind.

Qin Ran tugged on Pei Mo's clothes, absorbing Pei Mo's warm body temperature, and immediately felt very at ease in this dark, dangerous cave.

Halfway through the walk, someone accidentally kicked a small stone, and the stone fell into the uneven rocky cliff, but it took a long time before the sound of landing was heard.

"Wait!" Chu Yunxi, who was in the middle of the team, stopped immediately, lit the torch, and looked around at the rock wall of the cave, "This wall is full of holes, and it's unfathomable. Hidden arrow mechanism!"

Touching the hole on the wall with one hand, Chu Yunxi, as King Jing, has personally led troops to bloody battles on the battlefield more than once. Naturally, he is familiar with weapons such as bows and arrows. He casually touched the size of the hole and made a definite guess.

Fortunately, Chu Yunxi had experts who were familiar with the mechanism. When he heard that there was an arrow formation nearby, he gently touched the strange rocks protruding from the wall to distinguish which one was fake and the real one was the one that activated the mechanism.

"I didn't expect Qu Huai to be not only suspicious, but also proficient in the formation of organs. In the past, I underestimated him." Pei Mo wrapped his arms around Qin Ran, protecting her behind him, and looked at Chu Yun intently. Xi's subordinates solved the mechanism, while secretly guarding against someone accidentally bumping into other mechanisms.

Qin Ran chuckled when he heard the words: "What a powerful person is my mother? Since Qu Huai can be my mother's side king, she is naturally capable."

Thinking that neither Qu Huai nor the third princess Qin Yue is a fuel-efficient lamp, Qin Ran couldn't help feeling worried, and sighed: "Your side is so capable, I'm afraid we won't treat my third sister Qin Yue as easily as we did our elder sister Qin Rong in the past. Yes, alas..."

Even though the emperor's husband and Qin Rong's father and daughter were not as strategic as Qu Huai and Qin Yue's father and daughter, Pei Mo spent a lot of effort when he brought down the eldest princess. From this point of view, it seems that dealing with Qin Yue is not as simple as it seems.

The cave is narrow, and a word can be heard far away. Although Qin Ran whispered to Pei Mo in a low voice, Chu Yunxi, who was silent at the side, heard their conversation clearly and completely.

He couldn't help but chuckled, and teased: "No matter how secretive and resourceful the king of Qin is, he still can't guard against Pei Mo, who is a dozen years younger than him? I just thought that the treasure map was written in special words. Write it, hide it well, and you will be safe."

Pei Mo cast a squint at Chu Yunxi: "After all, Qu Huai has lived in the deep palace for a long time and hasn't come out for many years. Even if I guessed hard, I would never guess that I will join hands with King Jing who is far away in Liuli Kingdom."

Gently rubbed Qin Ran's soft heart, and said softly: "Qin Yue's biggest shortcoming is her arrogance. In fact, she and the eldest princess Qin Rong belong to the same breed. No matter how much the Qu family helps behind her back, her Fatal flaws should not be taken into account, and it will never become a big climate in a lifetime."

Otherwise, why did Her Majesty the Empress pass on the throne to an unfavored daughter like you in the previous life?

Due to the presence of Chu Yunxi, Pei Mo couldn't directly mention the past, and could only secretly communicate with Qin Ran with his eyes.

Fortunately, Qin Ran was connected with her heart, looking at Pei Mo with piercing eyes, revealing the respectful eyes she had seen Qin Ran as an empress in her previous life when she was a courtier, and immediately understood the hidden meaning of Pei Mo's words.

Wei Wei calms down a little.

Qin Ran unreservedly believed that with Pei Mo's ability, she said that Qin Yue was nothing to worry about, and Qin Yue was just a small ant, so don't take it seriously.

If Chen Yi, a sinister villain with ulterior motives, did not participate in it.

Recalling what Chen Yi did in his previous life, Qin Ran couldn't help but secretly grasped the hem of his skirt, as if firm in his determination, and vowed to eradicate Chen Yi before he grew stronger and became a hidden threat!

While talking, the group of people moved forward slowly, while Chu Yunxi's hidden guards who were proficient in hidden weapons of mechanisms groped for the complicated mechanisms in the underground palace and solved them one by one.

The terrain of the underground palace is complicated, and there are countless traps, large and small. In order to ensure that no one who enters will be injured and leave traces of someone entering, Pei Mo deliberately slowed down again, being careful.

Seeing that several hours had passed, the underground palace could not see the sun. Judging from the time when he came in, it might have been dawn outside. Qin Ran couldn't open his eyelids after a night of exhaustion, and Pei Mo also felt a little tired.

After informing Chu Yunxi, the two discussed that it would be better to rest in place for a period of time. Anyway, the underground palace is hidden, and they are not afraid of outsiders breaking in.

Chu Yunxi dispatched secret guards in shifts to keep watch, Pei Mo spread out his clothes, held Qin Ran in his arms, and rested in the underground palace.
