After making enough preparations, Liu Ninghuan entered the cave together with Mu Shan and Qiu Xin.

Liu Ninghuan wanted to know where the secret road led to.

Mu Shan said: "I have already sent people to investigate, and the exit is in a certain mountain near the capital. Should we go directly there, or walk along the secret path?"

Liu Ninghuan said: "Take the secret path, maybe you can find something else."

Mu Shan turned around and walked into the secret path, Qiu Xin said, "The secret path is quite long."

Liu Ninghuan said: "If you feel that you can't walk, just wait for us at the exit."

Qiu Xin smiled, turned to follow Mu Shan, and said, "I just want to remind the princess that the secret road is too long, you may not be able to go back tonight, don't you worry about the 'women' at home?"

Liu Ninghuan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it so long?"

Mu Shan said: "If you can hold on physically, you can come back at night."

Qiu Xin: "Princess's expression, is she afraid?"

Liu Ninghuan snorted, and said, "I'm afraid you'll run out of energy halfway and have to find someone to take care of you."

Qiu Xin smiled, and Liu Ninghuan felt puzzled.

But a few hours later, when Liu Ninghuan was panting on his knees, he finally understood why Qiu Xin laughed.

This is so... so... tired...

Liu Ninghuan looked at Mu Shan and Qiu Xin quietly, it was normal for Mu Shan not to be tired, but why Qiu Xin was only panting slightly? !Am I such a weak chicken? !

Liu Ninghuan paused and asked, "Is there any water?"

Mu Shan untied the water bottle from his waist and threw it to Liu Ninghuan.

Qiu Xin said: "Take a break, I can't walk anymore."

Mu Shan glanced at Qiu Xin, and the three of them sat on the floor.

After they went half way back that time, Mu Shan sent someone to walk again, and also removed the large gravel in the secret passage, and placed kerosene lamps at a certain distance.

After the light came, Liu Ninghuan realized that the secret road was still in good shape, obviously it was not repaired hastily, it was more like premeditated.

Liu Ninghuan sat on the ground gasping for air, his expression became serious, and he asked, "How long will it take to repair such a secret path?"

Qiu Xin said: "At least a year, if you want to keep others from paying attention, it will take longer."

Liu Ninghuan said, "What do you think this is for?"

Qiu Xin shrugged his shoulders and said, "The princess already has the answer in her heart?"

"I want to find the right answer for you." After all, you are from Zhao Zhan's side, and your position is still vacillating... Thinking of this, Liu Ninghuan suddenly moved in his heart and said, "You didn't know this secret before." road?"

Qiu Xin didn't speak immediately, but lowered his head.Seeing her reaction, Liu Ninghuan had a clue in her heart.

Now the test is whether Qiu Xin has patriotism.Judging from Liu Ninghuan's understanding of Qiu Xin, there is no need to question this point.Although Qiu Xin is a treacherous official, he still has a bottom line - how bad can the children educated by Prime Minister Qiu be?

Liu Ninghuan's heart beat faster, she had a premonition that this was the critical moment to completely pull Qiu Xin into her camp.

Liu Ninghuan took a deep breath and said, "Amiaolu was robbed through this secret passage. The reason why Zhao Zhan chased and killed Ye You was because Ye You had the evidence that Zhao Zhan colluded with the Altai people. Then these things ……do you know?"

Liu Ninghuan stared at Qiu Xin, the light in the secret passage was too dim, Qiu Xin could not see his expression with his head down.The atmosphere suddenly became dignified.

Qiu Xin raised his head halfway, evoked a strange smile, and said, "What if I knew?"

Liu Ninghuan was taken aback.

Qiu Xin said: "I was on the side of the Ninth Prince. If I knew this and you showed me the cards, do you know what I would do? I would kill you without anyone noticing it." , and then bury the secret passage. The hunting ground is originally the territory of the Ninth Prince, so no one will know that you died here. In addition, the second disappearance of Amulu and the anecdote between you and Amulu ...I can even make up a story about you eloping with Amulu and accidentally dying in the mountains."

In the darkness, Qiu Xin's voice seemed dangerous.

Mu Shan moved his body and stood in front of Liu Ninghuan.She warned: "Qiu Xin."

"It's still useful for Zhao Zhan to keep me, but you," Liu Ning laughed, and said, "I believe in you."

Qiu Xin paused for a moment, and his tone relaxed: "Don't be so nervous, Po Yue, I will never do anything with you next to me. She thinks so too." Qiu Xin raised his chin at Liu Ning in joy.

Liu Ninghuan said with crooked eyebrows, "I said I believe in you, and it's true."

There was a joyful smile on Liu Ninghuan's face, and under the dim light, there was a kind of hazy softness.

Qiu Xin was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and shook his head, and said softly: "It's really cunning..."

After the rest, the three continued to move forward.

Liu Ninghuan was thinking about Qing Ling in the mansion, so she persisted without resting, and finally reached the exit.

It was already dusk when I walked out of the cave, and the twilight light was very gentle, but a little depressed.

Liu Ninghuan stood at the entrance of the cave, a little confused looking at the scene in front of him.There is a river in front of me, and other than that, there are wilderness and no one inhabited. I don't know what the exit is for here.

Qiu Xin had a very serious expression, and even covered his face with a fan.

Liu Ninghuan turned to her and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know where this is?"

Qiu Xin said: "If I'm not mistaken, this is Wu Shan's sunny side, right?"

Mu Shan nodded and said, "Yes."

Qiu Xin turned around, pointed in a certain direction with his fan, and said, "Follow this direction, we should be able to find a ferry. This ferry is exclusive to the salt merchants, and it is now in the hands of the Shi family."

Qiu Xin looked at Liu Ninghuan solemnly, and said, "We came here along the cave in the hunting ground, there are two possibilities."

Liu Ninghuan subconsciously looked in the direction of Qiu Xin's fan. She couldn't see anything except mountains and trees, but she didn't doubt Qiu Xindu's statement.

The Altai people came to the outskirts of the capital from the salt merchant ferry, and then entered the hunting ground through secret passages.Those two possibilities instantly came to mind: [-], the waterway has been infiltrated by Zhao Zhan; [-], Zhao Zhan wants to blame the Shi family.

No... no no no, Zhao Zhan wanted to assassinate Shi Chan because of the business and shipping rights in the hands of the Shi family.If Zhao Zhan has shipping rights, what can she do?

Liu Ninghuan immediately thought of the five thousand elite soldiers that Shi Qian had mentioned.

Shi Jian can arrange five thousand elite soldiers, but what about Zhao Zhan?

Cold sweat dripped down Liu Ninghuan's forehead, she really didn't expect that Zhao Zhan would dare to do this.

But I didn't write such a magnificent process of seizing the heirloom in the article. Now, is it the automatic completion of the world line, or did I trigger the butterfly effect?

Liu Ninghuan thought: She must rethink the meaning of wearing a book.

All the changes in Liu Ninghuan's expression fell into Qiu Xin's eyes, but Qiu Xin didn't say a word, just squinted his eyes to observe her, and turned his eyes around, not knowing what he was thinking.

The three of them had seen enough, and when they were about to leave, the soldiers who had been guarding here suddenly came to report: "We caught a few people on the nearby hills."

Mu Shan said, "Bring it here."

The soldiers came over with several people, all of them were tall and big, and they looked very cooperative.After seeing Liu Ninghuan, they knelt down in unison.

"Princess!"

Liu Ninghuan was taken aback, Qiu Xin turned his head, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he looked at Liu Ninghuan inquiringly.

I didn't send anyone, this team was either sent by Zhao Ninghuan, or the group that A Mulu took away.

Liu Ninghuan showed his style and asked, "Why are you here? What do you have to report?"

The leader said: "According to your instructions, we followed Amulu all the way and found the camp of the Nabo Altaic people. They were stationed in a bandit village. Amulu mingled with a caravan and lurked in."

Liu Ninghuan was shocked, and quickly asked, "What about Amulu? Why are you here?"

The leader said: "After Amulu lurked, we have been guarding outside the stockade, waiting for her instructions. We waited for about a day, and saw Amulu galloping out on horseback, followed by many Altai people. We tried our best Dealing with the Altai people, Amulu took the opportunity to leave. We don't know where she went. When we searched for Amulu in the mountains and plains, we encountered them. After declaring our identity, we came to meet you."

Only then did Liu Ninghuan start to observe the clothes of these people, and found that they were stained with black blood. He must have experienced a fierce fight not long ago.Liu Ning silently counted the number of people, and found that it was different from Shi Qian's confession.

Liu Ninghuan asked, "Where are the other brothers?"

The leader endured grief and said: "... sacrificed."

Liu Ninghuan was silent for a moment, and said, "My condolences."

Qiu Xin interjected: "Is it because Amulu came to guard the Altai people for revenge? With her character of vengeance, it looks like something she would do. If so, it is really hard to say where she is now... What should we do now? Go to that village?"

Liu Ninghuan shook his head thinking about Amulu's actions.

She always felt that Amulu didn't come here for revenge.Before Amulu left, she said that she had something to say to herself...but she was caught by Qingling at the time, and she didn't have time to meet her.If Amulu was out for revenge, would she really take away the guards she gave her?Didn't she say that she wanted to take herself back to the grassland?

Thinking of this, Liu Ninghuan's tone became firm: "She will go to Chunlin Garden."

"why?"

"She will look for me, she has something to tell me." Liu Ninghuan is very sure, "She doesn't know that the emperor gave me a new palace, so she will look for me in Chunlin Garden."

Qiu Xin said: "It seems that the princess understands her very well... Also, you are in a similar situation, so you can naturally guess each other's thoughts. According to what they said, Amulu has been away for a while, and I am afraid that she is already waiting at the gate of Chunlin Garden If we want to see Amulu as soon as possible, we have to go back immediately."

Liu Ning looked happily at the guards kneeling in front of him, feeling a little sad in his heart.She sighed and said, "I missed it anyway, so wait. Where was the last place you fought?" She asked the guards.

The guard pointed to an area.

Liu Ninghuan said: "It happened that we brought soldiers, so let's help collect the corpses first. It's getting dark, and it would be bad if we encountered any wild beasts. You obey me, it's very sad to lose your life, I can't let the dead brother not even keep the whole body."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present was stunned.The faces of the few who survived were slightly moved, and even Mu Shan's eyes became respectful.

Those who practice martial arts obey others' orders and are manipulated like pawns, rarely receiving such respect.

Respect for life.

Qiu Xin originally wanted to say something, but after hearing what Liu Ninghuan said, he kept his mouth shut.Everyone has different ways of controlling people, no matter whether Liu Ninghuan really thinks so or just pretends, she is not the one who can express her opinions casually.

Everyone collectively headed towards the place where the final battle took place, and saw corpses everywhere.Everyone collected the corpses. Although Liu Ninghuan was afraid of the dead, he still helped carry a few corpses.However, her strength was too weak, and to help would be to hinder the other person, so she had no choice but to stand aside.

Qiu Xin stood with her, picked up someone casually, and asked, "Where is that bandit den?"

The man pointed to a place, and Qiu Xin took Liu Ninghuan and took a few soldiers to check it out.When we arrived, the village had already been burned, and there was no one in it.

Liu Ninghuan said: "It really is like this...A Miaolu has startled the snake."

Liu Ninghuan had already guessed this, so he didn't bring a few people to follow.Anyway, not far away, as soon as a signal flare is fired, reinforcements will come.

Mu Shan was not around at this time, Qiu Xin pushed aside the obstruction in front of him, and said casually: "Princess, have you reached any agreement with A Mulu?"

Liu Ninghuan was taken aback, and said, "No."

Qiu Xin just smiled and said, "Don't you just rely on feelings to maintain the relationship? Such an alliance is too fragile."

Liu Ninghuan thought for a while, but couldn't think of what kind of agreement he could reach with A Mulu, nor could he think of what he could promise A Mulu, so he said, "I..."

As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Qiu Xin.

"I don't believe in feelings, and neither does the princess. Otherwise, I wouldn't treat Miss Qingling that way." Qiu Xin said, "Amulu is not from Zhao, and she has the recklessness and madness of the Altaic people engraved in her bones. I advise the princess, don't be tempted Mercy blinds the eyes and gives the beast a chance."

Liu Ninghuan actually felt that Qiu Xin had good intentions.

Among the characters that have already appeared, Liu Ninghuan knows most of the characters, but he doesn't know where Amulu came from.People like the emperor, empress, and prime minister are actually described sideways in the book.Even Yanguang can be counted in the summary of "Zhao Zhan's subordinates", but Amulu is free from all possible known plots... Liu Ninghuan is really a little confused about Amulu road number.

If it was really Zhao Ninghuan, would you know a little better?

Are Zhao Ninghuan and A Miaolu spontaneously generated NPCs in this world?

Liu Ninghuan pursed her lips and said to Qiu Xin, "Thank you."

Qiu Xin said again: "Ye You also contacted Zhao Zhan, does the princess know?"

Liu Ninghuan was startled, "What does Ye You mean?!"

Liu Ninghuan didn't doubt the authenticity of this information for the first time... Qiu Xin took an extra look at Liu Ninghuan, with some unspeakable emotions mixed in his eyes.

Liu Ninghuan turned her head and asked Qiu Xin: "Is he trying to protect himself? That's understandable... Do you know what evidence he gave Zhao Zhan?"

Perhaps today's experience made her lose her vigilance towards Qiu Xin, but she still blatantly asked Qiu Xin for information.

Qiu Xin shook his head helplessly, and said, "I only know that it is related to the Shi family, and I don't know the rest."

Liu Ninghuan nodded, thinking that when he returned to the capital, he must remind Shi Qian to pay attention.

After that, there was no more words, the two followed a few subordinates and walked towards Mu Shan, preparing to join the main force.

When he was about to walk, Liu Ninghuan saw Mu Shan's back.Just as Liu Ninghuan was calling Mu Shan's name and was about to walk over, Qiu Xin suddenly stopped her in a low voice: "Princess."

Liu Ninghuan said, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Xin said: "Ye You can't choose a side, and keeps wandering on both sides, can you really understand?"

Liu Ninghuan said: "You also said that I'm not smart and I'm at a disadvantage, so why can't I understand? After Ye You got Zhao Zhan's...that kind of evidence, he decisively chose me. Why can't I understand? "

After hearing Liu Ninghuan's answer, Qiu Xin covered his face with his fan.

Qiu Xin said in a low voice: "I actually started to believe that the princess will become a wise king."
