This burial valley is the most yin area in Yuqin Village, and it is also a valley where the sun cannot reach it all year round, and it is extremely unsuitable for living people, so over time, it has become an area for burying the dead.

This valley is located near the village wall to the north of Yuqin Village, about two miles away from the city wall. The terrain is low-lying and the dense trees shade the sky, so the sun does not shine all year round.

The damp and dark place is very beneficial for the long-term preservation of the body, so this valley, which is not too deep, has become the best place for people to bury their loved ones.

It stands to reason that almost no one here usually comes here, unless it is the time of the annual sacrifice, it will be crowded and lively.

However, at this moment, in the valley that was originally empty, there were three veiled women, as well as a few Yuqin Village guards.

These people came from the village wall not far away, it was the three of them and the three of them, as well as the village guards with evil intentions.

Although Yanyu could see at a glance that these guards were not in the right mind and did not have a good heart, Yanyu decided not to expose their conspiracy on the spot first, but pretended to be willing to pay them to send him out of the city to investigate this unknown secret passage when he learned that they actually had a way to hide from the guards and secretly send people in and out of Yuqin Village, which was closed to the city gate.

After the investigation is clear, they will be brought to justice, and the secret passage will be destroyed or permanently closed, so as to protect the future stability and prosperity of Yuqin Village.

After all, the existence of this passage, whether it is for the critical moment of the outbreak of the plague now, or for the future war years, will bring unforeseen hidden dangers, and this hidden danger is likely to cause the crisis of the destruction of the Lotus Kingdom.

There is another point, that is, Yanyu wants to ask clearly, before they arrived at Yuqin Village today, did that guard have used this way to privately let people from the plague outbreak area outside the city enter Yuqin Village?

If this is really the case, then let him tell who these people are, and where they probably went after entering Yuqin Village? In this way, Yanyu can send people to chase them back, and after completely killing the Soul Eater Poisonous Ants on their bodies, they can rest assured, otherwise the Soul Eater Poisonous Ants in their bodies will definitely bring similar plague crises to other towns and villages in the Lotus Country and even the Imperial Palace in the future.

That's why Yanyu is willing to take the risk of entering this trap, and by risking his own life, he can find out the truth and eliminate this major hidden danger of incalculable losses for Yuqin Village.

At first, they thought that the guards would take them to a corner under the city wall, and leave Yuqin Village through the secret passage through the city wall.

However, soon after they set out, the three of them felt a little strange that they found themselves farther and farther away from the city walls.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, about two miles away from the city wall, I came to a large cemetery in a deep valley.

Before they got close to this cemetery, and there was still a strong sun overhead, the three of them felt a very heavy yin qi, and even made the three of them shiver, enough to see that once they entered this valley, it must be even more eerie and terrifying.

Although Yanyu and the three of them had also prepared for the worst beforehand, they still didn't expect this to be the end, but they had already come, so naturally they couldn't fall short, so they continued to pretend to trust those guards very much, and quietly continued to follow them towards the Tomb Valley.

For Yanyu, he is not afraid of these guards to deceive, because today's Yanyu, since becoming the goddess and empress dowager, has far more abilities than ordinary people, and it is still easy to deal with these guards with his bare hands.

But for Phantom Lotus and Meng Ling, protecting Princess Yanyu is the primary responsibility, so secretly, they are also ready to transform into golden-crowned black-tailed frogs at any time as a last resort, after all, they can only easily kill these vicious guards in that state.

The reason why it is to exterminate and kill, rather than capture or punish, is because the secret that the three of them are golden-crowned black-tailed frogs must not leak the news, otherwise it will harm the smoke and rain.

Therefore, Phantom Lotus and Meng Ling knew very well that they could not easily transform into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog in front of the mortals of the Lotus Kingdom, once they changed, it would be because Yanyu was in extreme danger before they could do so.

And the person who can shoot at Yanyu without scruples, and wants to kill Yanyu, must be indiscriminately killing innocent people, so for such people, only by killing them can they be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven.

However, for the sake of prudence, before entering this dark, damp, and deserted cemetery, Phantom Lotus couldn't help but open her mouth tentatively: "Didn't you say that you would discuss the matter of taking us out of the city?" Why did you bring us to the cemetery? ”

"Hehe, the girl doesn't know, because only when you come here can you get out of the city safely. I think you also saw it just now, with General Lin personally guarding it, and the Royal Forest Army patrolling back and forth, it is not easy to go out of the city directly. If you change the usual only our Yuqin Village guards, there will be no such trouble, I will already be up and down, just let you change into the armor of our guards, in the name of changing guards, it will be easy to send you out of the city. But now that General Lin in the palace is here, and he is guarding it himself, I can't buy General Lin and his Imperial Forest Army, so I can only take you through this secret passage that I bought at a high price, and this passage is in the depths of the cemetery. The sinister guard smiled faintly and patiently explained.

"Oh? Is there a secret passage in the depths of the cemetery that leads to the outside of the city gates? But how could there be such a passage in this cemetery? Can you elaborate on the origin of this passage? Yanyu asked with interest when she heard this.

"It's a secret, I can't say anything unless that." The guard said with a look of embarrassment, and made a gesture in his hand to weigh the money bag.

"Phantom Lotus, let's give him a deposit that satisfies him first, and as for the other, we will give it to him when we are very satisfied with the city." Yan Yu naturally understood what the guard meant, but he said to Phantom Lotus in a nonchalant tone.

It seems that as long as money can solve the problem, for her, it will not be a problem.

"Yes, sister." Phantom Lotus said respectfully, and then took out a silver ticket from a small purse with exquisite workmanship hanging from her waist and handed it to the guard.

When he saw that Yanyu had not yet negotiated the price, he had paid the deposit so generously, and it was still a silver ticket with a large amount, the guard naturally guessed that the three women must have some background.

Originally, he still had a bad thought, but he quickly dispelled the idea, after all, such a woman with such a background must have a very strong power and background behind her, and what she did in a hurry to get out of the city must also be a major event that very people can imagine and achieve, so she will rush out of the city with a veil.

If he helps them get out of the city smoothly this time, promotes their big events, and it doesn't matter if he collects more money, but if he uses ** or coercion and temptation to do extraordinary things to the three of them according to the original plan, it will inevitably anger their bottom line.

When the time comes, the forces behind the three of them will be investigated, and they will definitely have no place to be buried.

After all, the recent Yuqin Village has attracted countless rich and powerful dignitaries to come to Yuqin Village because of the goddess Empress Dowager's personal relief, and secondly, she also wants to take the opportunity to make friends with the goddess Empress Dowager, and attract the attention of the Goddess Empress Dowager by helping to control the plague with all her might, and may be able to soar in the future.

Therefore, these three ordinary women who seem to travel in simple clothes may have a great identity, and it is by no means that his little guard can extort and hurt at will.

Thinking of this, the guard pretended to be very satisfied with the silver ticket, and hurriedly secretly made a code gesture to the other guards, which meant that the plan had changed, and the trap that had been arranged in advance was canceled, and they were actually sent out of the city.

After seeing his gesture and whispering, the guards nodded understandingly, and immediately sent a person to take a detour to inform the other guards who had laid an ambush in advance.

After arranging all this, the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed that he was a little reckless before, before he judged the true identity of the other party, he actually used his crooked brain, fortunately he found out in time and changed his plan, otherwise today next year, I am afraid it will be his sacrifice day.

"This girl is generous, and at first glance she is a person who does great things! This silver ticket is enough and there is no need to pay for another. Since the girl trusts her so much, she dares to swear to the sky that she must ensure that the three of you are sent out of the city safely, please rest assured. Now we have reached the Valley of the Tombs. As for the girl's concerns, she must know everything and say everything. Next, if the girl has any questions, just ask. The guard changed his normal behavior, stopped and said respectfully.

The reason why he didn't dare to accept another deposit, and his attitude became so respectful, was because he felt that accepting it when he saw it was the way to be a person, and by the way, he also left a good impression on the other party, and maybe there would be a place to rely on the other party in the future.

After all, people came with a veil and were in the dark, while they were the guards of the city gates and were in the light.

If he neglects the other party because of greed, then afterwards, the other party secretly retaliates, and it is not something he can bear.

That's why his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he decided to fulfill his promise to help them get out of the city safely after receiving this huge amount of silver tickets, and each took what he needed, and he also made a windfall, even if it was the most perfect ending.

"Good! Then let me ask you, in the days before General Lin arrived at Yuqin Village today, this city gate was only guarded by your village guards, have you secretly collected benefits to let many people enter and leave the city privately? Yanyu saw that the other party stopped, his attitude changed greatly, and he guessed something, so he simply asked bluntly.
