Chapter Ninety-Three: The Secret Passage
After Baili Minghui entered the secret passage, he found that this secret passage should be frequented by people, and it looks very new.
It walked cautiously along the wall, and the secret passage had no other branching path, but a path from beginning to end
About half an hour later, Baili Minghui saw a faint light coming over. He was stunned for a moment, originally thinking that this was a secret passage to someone's house, but he didn't expect that this was actually a way to the outside.
He walked a little further, and he was already close to the entrance of the secret passage, and he did not rush out, but first stood in place and carefully observed for a while, making sure that no one was monitoring the secret passage, and then he moved quickly out of the secret passage.
After leaving, he found that this place seemed to be different from Crescent Bay, and when he was looking for the island, he had personally walked through the places of Crescent Bay, but he had never found such a place.
He looked around carefully and realized that this place still belonged to Crescent Bay, but no one generally knew about it.
There is a low mountain near the sea in Crescent Bay, and the people of Crescent Bay live at the foot of the mountain on one side, and on the other side, many people tell Baili Minghui that it is the sea, and now it seems that in fact, this mountain is not directly against the sea, and there is still room in the middle.
There were many trees here, giving Baili Ming room to hide, and he quickly jumped up to a large tree with lush leaves, and looked around from the big tree, and the scenery of this area was immediately unobstructed.
Not far from him was a row of houses, which were more like those of bandits and bandits, unlike the houses where ordinary people lived. The houses were fenced off and surrounded by men with spears in their hands.
Baili Minghui only had to look at it, he knew that this was the pirate's lair, his heart was happy, after looking for so long, he finally found it, but he didn't lean forward, but turned around and left, and returned to the secret passage just now.
It's not early, so if you don't go back quickly, I'm afraid you will be discovered by the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop in a while, so it's better to leave first.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, walked out of the secret passage faster, and hurried back towards the inn.
When he returned to the inn, he pushed open the door of his room, but saw Ningxia sitting at the table with an anxious look. Baili Minghui was stunned for a moment, then turned around quietly and closed the door.
At the moment when he closed the door, Ningxia immediately asked, "Lord Wang, where have you been, why don't you let us follow?" If there is a little accident, how can we explain it to the princess? ”
Baili Minghui walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and then knocked the top of Ningxia's head with his hand, and said helplessly: "Don't you know what kind of person your prince looks like?" There were a few more people who were able to hurt me. ”
Although he knew that the prince was very powerful, Ningxia was still very worried. As the saying goes, a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, even if the prince is strong, if there are many people, it will be very dangerous.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, even this is not good, if you want to find out anything in the future, you must bring us, otherwise...... Otherwise, I'll go back and tell the princess. ”
Baili Minghui drank tea for a while, almost didn't squirt out the water in his mouth, he coughed a few times, stared at Ningxia who was extremely resolute on the side with a pair of eyes, and sighed helplessly after a while.
He is usually too lenient with these subordinates, so he has developed such a lawless temperament, and even dares to take care of his affairs.
However, thinking of the so-called threat in Ningxia, Baili Minghui still shrank. Although even if Ningxia told Aoxue, Aoxue wouldn't say anything, but I'm afraid she would keep looking at herself with tears, right?
Thinking of the tears on her face, Baili Minghui had to retreat, it was not a big deal for her to complain, but it was not a trivial matter if she cried.
Forget it, anyway, the matter has been almost investigated, and the truth that should be known has been known, and he doesn't need to go out of the way after that, just let go and let the people below deal with it.
He waved his hand and said helplessly, "Don't tell the princess about this, the king will no longer go out after that, just send someone." ”
Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Ningxia's face, originally he just wanted the prince to bring them to move the princess out, but he didn't expect it to really work, it seems that the prince doesn't like the princess in general.
As long as the prince is no longer in danger, he is relieved, and of course he will not take the initiative to tell the princess about this matter, so that the princess is worried. He nodded with a smile, and agreed to Baili Minghui's words.
Baili Minghui glanced at him, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, but he quickly got down to business, and said with a straight face: "Don't talk about this nonsense, I have already found the pirate's lair, and when the army comes, I can annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”
Ningxia was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to come back to his senses, and said in surprise: "Lord Wang, have you found it?" ”
"This is natural, otherwise what do you think this king is going out for?" Baili Minghui glanced at him.
Ning Xia touched his nose and asked, "Where is the pirate's lair?" We've all searched this crescent bay, and we haven't seen a single pirate. ”
"Right here in Crescent Bay!" Ever since he saw the pirate's lair, Baili Minghui realized what the island he had been looking for was.
The other side of the mountain is different from the Crescent Bay, the place is not very big, because it is close to the sea, it looks like an island from a distance, this is the small island called Crescent Bay in the mouth of the jade shop owner.
Ningxia blinked suspiciously, not understanding what the master meant, they had obviously turned over the Crescent Bay, could there be anything else they hadn't noticed?
But now that you've found your lair, it's time to annihilate them in one fell swoop, right? Ningxia said excitedly: "Lord Wang, since you have found it, then let's do it!" ”
"Hands-on? What hands? We only have these dozens of people, and there may be hundreds of people on the other side, and it would be tantamount to killing ourselves to do it, and they are pirates, and if we attack them from the ground, they will just get on the ship and escape, and we will still fall short. Baili Minghui glared at Ningxia and said.
Ningxia stuck out his tongue, and had to admit that his master was right, if he shot at will, he was afraid that he would die without a corpse, but if he didn't make a move, how could he annihilate the pirates?
"Then Lord, what should we do next?" Ningxia hurriedly asked.
"Hold your ground for now, and when the army comes, we'll discuss ways to annihilate it then." Baili Minghui said faintly while knocking on the table.
Ningxia nodded, indicating that he understood.
When Baili Minghui and the others were waiting for the arrival of the army, Jiang Aoxue was recuperating from his injuries in the palace.
Originally, she could go out for a walk, but now that she was not only injured in her hand, but also knew that someone wanted to take her life, she could only stay in the palace every day.
It was already very boring, and Wanyun was afraid that she would have scars on her hands, so she basically banned all her activities, not even reading books, and it was said that she would pull the wound when she turned the page, let alone play the piano and paint.
Therefore, her daily activities are eating, sleeping and looking out of the window in a daze, which is really boring.
Just after Jiang Aoxue held her chin and looked at the big tree outside the window and sighed again, Wanyun also knocked on the door and walked in.
After she saw Jiang Aoxue's posture, she hurriedly ran over in small steps and exclaimed, "Princess, how can you support your chin with your hands?" What if the wound gets worse? ”
Jiang Aoxue sighed helplessly, she didn't want to argue with Wanyun now, she just silently took her hand back.
Seeing Jiang Aoxue like this, Wanyun nodded with satisfaction, and returned to her original appearance. She reported with a smile: "Princess, the Wuyi guard who came back from the prince wants to see you. ”
Jiang Aoxue already knew that Wu Yi was the guard who saved Wanyun that day, she nodded and asked Wanyun to pass it on.
After a while, Wanyun walked in with Wu Yi, she stood still behind Jiang Aoxue, and Wu Yi also knelt in the hall, respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "My subordinates see the princess." ”
"No courtesy." Jiang Aoxue said with a smile.
Wu Yi stood up with kindness, and then said: "The subordinate has just returned from the prince, and the prince has a few words that he wants his subordinates to bring to the princess. ”
"Please." Jiang Aoxue's attitude towards these subordinates is very good.
"The princess said that the princess doesn't have to worry, these villains will be dealt with when the princess comes back, please let the princess recuperate in the palace with peace of mind, don't be sad, and try not to go out of the palace recently." Wu Yi's face did not change, and he repeated Baili Minghui's words as if he was endorsing.
"Hongu will." Even if Baili Minghui didn't say it, Jiang Aoxue didn't plan to go out, knowing that someone outside wanted to take her life, so a fool went out!
"How is the prince's side? What's the matter with the prince? Seeing that Wu Yi seemed to have finished speaking, Jiang Aoxue hurriedly asked, in fact, in her heart, she was still more worried about Baili Minghui's safety. In the end, she herself is in the palace, as long as she doesn't go out, no one is so bold as to dare to assassinate in the palace, and he is different, any danger can happen outside.
"The prince is fine, everything is fine." Wu Yi said: "The prince is concentrating on annihilating the pirates in one fell swoop, and he will definitely be able to return successfully in the near future." ”
Hearing the news that Baili Minghui would be back soon, Jiang Aoxue's face immediately showed a look of joy, she felt that she had been waiting for a long time, if it was a little longer, she didn't know if she could continue to endure it, and whether she would go directly to Baili Minghui.
