In the middle of the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon became brighter and brighter, and the moonlight sprinkled on the streets, quiet and beautiful, but in such a night, everything was not calm.

Luojia and Mu Qingfeng went out together, he didn't want to stay in the house tonight, so he sent Lianxin to take care of Qiu Rong'er.

The two of them were silent along the way, until they passed by the Shen Mansion, compared with the lively and festive Jingwang Mansion, the bleak scene in front of the Shen Mansion, with the coldness of finishing Shen Mei's posthumous affairs, this was particularly dazzling with the moonlight, Mu Qingfeng's heart was sour, and he lowered his eyes and no longer looked at the Shen Mansion.

After a while, Luojia asked in a light tone, "Third Master, Miss Shen's matter has been sent to investigate for so long, if it is in the capital, then it should also be found, but now the person sent there is still no news, Luojia dares to ask the third master, what is the point of going on like this?" ”

Luojia has always been quiet and cold, but the Mu Qingfeng he saw today is no longer the person he admires, Mu Qingfeng has become more and more irritable because of Shen Mei's affairs, which makes Luojia begin to doubt that if Shen Mei has no way to come back, then one day Mu Qingfeng will ascend the throne, will his temperament become unacceptable to him, and gradually become a tyrant who is despised by others.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the history of Wu Kingdom, but he doesn't want to see such a thing happen to Mu Qingfeng, he is the king he admires, if one day he tortures his subjects, then now what they have worked so hard to do is no longer meaningful.

Mu Qingfeng pondered, knowing what Luojia was referring to, "I know what you want to say, but I will definitely find Shen Mei back, no matter what, I will find her." “

Luojia didn't expect that Mu Qingfeng had a deep affection for Shen Mei, and Luojia had no way to feel Mu Qingfeng's deep love until death.

"Now that the prince has married the eldest lady of the Qiu Mansion, if Miss Shen really comes back one day..."

"She'll understand what I'm doing." Mu Qingfeng didn't explain too much.

In the quiet of the night, the sound of a carriage passing by broke the thoughts of the two, Mu Qingfeng looked up to find the direction of the sound, and saw a carriage slowly coming.

But Mu Qingfeng wouldn't have thought that on this carriage, it was the person he had been looking for, and the man in the iron mask just wanted to see Mu Qingfeng let Shen Mei leave him without knowing it.

The people in the carriage were sealed acupoints, and there was no way to even make a sound, and the half-hidden curtains could faintly see the people outside, but they were powerless, so they could only pass by like this.

The desolation of falling to the ground.

The carriage was getting farther and farther away, Shen Mei's heart was getting more and more painful, she hated her powerlessness, she saw Mu Qingfeng by her side, but she had no way to tell him that she was right next to him, she hated herself for being restrained by others, and she didn't have the ability to resist at all.

At this thought, there was a sense of desolation and defeat.

I don't know why Mu Qingfeng seems to have some kind of induction, and when he passed by the carriage, he had a different feeling in his heart, and he didn't know why his eyes kept following it until he watched it disappear into the moonlight.

"Third master, go back, Luojia will leave here." Luojia only hopes that Mu Qingfeng can think about everything he said today, Shen Mei's departure does not mean that his great cause is over, he believes that Mu Qingfeng will realize his wish that he cannot complete.

The cold moon hung high in the sky alone, shining on the people on the ground, lonely and lonely, looking at Luojia's distant back, Mu Qingfeng's heart was gloomy.

The next day, Shen Mei was taken back to the cave without any suspense, and it was only early this morning that she found that the acupuncture points on her body had been unlocked.

Taking advantage of the fact that the maid had not yet come, Shen Mei pushed open the door and unexpectedly found that there was no one guarding the door today, so she stepped out cautiously with some luck, and looked around at everything around, as she expected, this place was indeed a cave, but several houses were built in it, and after the house she was in came out, she could see an open scene, and involuntarily walked forward.

The strong light at the entrance of the cave was very dazzling, and Shen Mei slowed down for a long time before she could see the scene clearly, until she stood at the entrance of the cave, she realized that the place she was in was actually halfway up the mountain, and she could see the location of the opposite mountain, but Shen Mei was even more surprised by everything she saw when she walked outside the cave.

My location is only halfway up the mountain. On the lookout, you can see the stone steps of the ladder along the mountain road, one side is inlaid on the mountain, and the other side is tied with iron chains, and the cliff of hundreds of feet is built in this way. And what surprised Shen Mei even more was that there were more than a dozen caves on this mountain that looked like they were in, and they were built along the stone steps all the way, and I saw several women in cloth clothes with a bamboo basket pinned to their waists, with all kinds of food in them, slowly climbing up the stone steps, surrounded by clouds and mist, but as the sun became brighter and brighter, Shen Mei's vision gradually opened.

It's like a fairyland, and the mountain on the opposite side is the same as this one, but the caves on that mountain are more dense, which reminds Shen Mei of the grottoes in Dunhuang, in such an era, what kind of skills are needed to carve out a place on the mountain rock that can be used for people to live in.

Everything here makes Shen Mei feel incredible, a pair of big eyes look around at this place without blinking, orderly, under the two mountains is a pool of turquoise water, and the fisherman can even be seen casting nets in the distance, when a vivid and surprising life scene is presented in front of Shen Mei, her surprise is tantamount to seeing a paradise.

Until, finally, I saw the sound of an iron chain hitting the mountain wall from above me, which moved Shen Mei's attention over, and saw a tall sound and shadow coming down towards him, the wind in the mountain was very strong, blowing up the man's robe, and the hem of the clothes flying up and down was quite a kind of fairy wind Dao bone hidden master's artistic conception, but Shen Mei did not sigh too much because of this.

The iron mask on the man's face glowed with a dazzling silver light in the sun, making it impossible for Shen Mei to look directly at it.

He said, "You can't run away." It was as if she saw through all of Shen Mei's intentions at a glance, and strangled everything she thought in the cradle.

But Shen Mei didn't know, but this was the truth.

"The stone steps here, if you don't have the slightest internal strength to cultivate, I'm afraid that you will be crushed, if you are not afraid of death, just try." After speaking, the pair of deep eyes that gradually became clear from under the iron mask seemed to have a sense of mockery, and quietly watched Shen Mei's reaction.
