Mingsheng hurriedly walked to the side hall.

As soon as he entered, all the ladies in the house looked at him.

"Fourth brother, how is it outside?" Mrs. Ming asked.

"Auntie." Mingsheng smiled, "It's nothing, it's the fire on the side of Cuimu Peak, far away from Baoling Temple." It's just that the road is blocked, and I can't walk all at once. ”

Seeing him smiling and his tone relaxed, a room full of children breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Madam Ming's brows did not relax: "Such a small matter, why is there such a big fuss outside?" We're not allowed to go out yet. ”

"It's not the idlers yet." Mingsheng was a little indignant, "When I found that I couldn't go down the mountain, I yelled and screamed, which made people panic." The adults were worried about a stampede, so they forbade walking and waited for the rocks on the road to move before arranging for us to leave. ”

"I see." Old Madam Ming frowned, "The small people are ignorant, and they make a fuss about a little thing, no wonder the adults deal with it like this." ”

"Isn't it?" Mingsheng said, "It's not a big deal, but it also caused trouble for them." Cuimu Peak is on fire, and it can't burn here, so what does it matter if you can't go down the mountain for a while? However, some rocks and mountains are cleared, and it is only a delay of some time. ”

The maid Huang Ying smiled and said, "The old lady can rest assured now?" The fourth prince said this, let's just wait here. ”

Old Madam Ming smiled and nodded.

Mingsheng was just about to go out, but was stopped by the fourth lady: "Ah Xiang went to the county lord just now, Sheng'er, my mother is not worried, you go ......"

Before the words were finished, the servant woman of the palace over there hurriedly came in, saluted and asked: "The county lord of Anxiang and the eighth lady of your mansion are playing together, and they have not returned for a long time, the princess is worried, and the special slave maid came to ask, are you here?" ”

When the fourth lady heard this, she was shocked: "What? They're not with the princess? ”

The servant woman also panicked: "Didn't Madame see it either?" The county lord and Miss Mingba went to the release pond before, and they got rid of all the people who followed......"

Release Pool! Baoling Temple is like a temple fair today, the release pond is crowded, what should I do if it is chaotic!

"Sheng'er!" The fourth lady's voice was trembling, "Go find your sister!" It's been so long, and she hasn't come back yet......"

Mingsheng hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry. The outside is under control, maybe so, Ah Xiang didn't come back. I'll go and have a look, and ask an official about it. ”

"Okay, good, go!"

The faces of the servants of the palace turned white. On the official side, of course, they have already asked. found that the county lord of Anxiang was gone, so they looked for an official errand, and before they could find anyone, a mountain fire broke out, and then chaos began, and there has been no news until now.

Hearing what the fourth lady said, she hurriedly bowed and prepared to go back to her life.

God willing, the county lord must not have an accident, otherwise none of them who serve will want to live!

Mingsheng didn't dare to delay, and followed: "Mom, wait a minute, I'll go with you to see the princess!" ”

Ming Xiang and the county lord of Anxiang are not seen together, and it is better to borrow the power of the palace.

……

The wall was removed, revealing a small door.

Secret Path! There is actually a secret passage!

The guards went in, and after a while, they came out and said, "Childe, it's a granary!" ”

Yang Shu didn't say a word, and entered the small door by himself.

Compared to the rough-built cellar outside, the inside is extremely spacious, and the masonry of the walls is tightly fitted, dry and waterproof.

Yang Shu took two steps and turned around and ordered: "You two stay here, if someone comes, warn in time." ”

"Yes."

When the group entered, the more they looked, the more frightened they became.

This granary is ridiculously big.

The guards pierced the sack with a dagger, and the snow-white rice leaked out. In addition to this, there are soybeans, wheat flour, etc.

After turning around, Yang Shu stopped: "These grains, the monks of Baoling Temple can't eat them for decades." ”

Mingwei sighed: "Is it military rations?" ”

Yang Shu nodded: "Generally, the state capital's regular liquidation will not have so much grain. I don't know how else to explain it other than this answer. ”

"So, Baoling Temple is related to the King of Qidong County?"

"It must be so, what are others doing with so much food?" Yang Shu thought about it and said, "It's a pity that there is no sword armor, otherwise you can arrest people immediately." ”

Rebellion is such a thing, and the sword armor is ironclad evidence. In history, so many people who slandered others for rebellion made a batch of swords and armor and hid them in other people's houses. As long as it is searched, the fake is also true.

Mingwei took out the golden hairpin: "I want to know more, where is the lock corresponding to this key." ”

"Yes, and this." Yang Shu instructed the guards, "You search carefully to see if there are any secret doors or anything like that." ”

"Yes, Childe."

……

Outside the Cuimu Peak Canyon, there were several unconscious guards lying among the rocks, one by one smoked to black ash.

Several strong men stood aside with knives in hand, looking around vigilantly.

Ming San stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the canyon with black smoke billowing out.

A man dressed as a ranger jumped out of the smoke and dust, rolled on the ground, and extinguished the fire on his body.

"Third Master," he clasped his fists and saluted Ming San, "something is wrong, Yang Gongzi is not in the canyon." ”

Ming San narrowed his eyes: "How could it not be?" Didn't you watch him get trapped in it? ”

"Yes." The man was also puzzled, "We've been staring, and the guards who ran out of it are all here." ”

"Look for it again!" Mingsan shouted, "Make sure he dies inside!" ”

The man couldn't, so he soaked his special clothes, covered his mouth and nose with a damp cloth, and rushed into the canyon again.

Ming San stared in the direction of Baoling Temple.

It can't be delayed too long, and someone will come to search and rescue soon.

God seemed to be on his side, and after a while, the man rushed out and shouted, "Third master, it's not good!" They've dug a tunnel! ”

Ming Sanyi was stunned: "Authentic? ”

"Yes." The man's hair was burnt and he coughed twice from the smoke, and quickly replied, "The subordinates found the place where they were hiding, and found a tunnel at the bottom. ”

Ming San suddenly thought of something: "It's not good! ”

"Third Master?"

He quickly ordered: "Go in again, and cover up the pit they have dug so that no one will find out." The others followed me quickly, and all traces were erased, so that no one could find out that we had been there. ”

"Yes."

Several people split up and went into the pit where they were buried, while the rest of them picked up a guard and left in a hurry.

No one noticed that on the top of the hillside, behind a large rock, there was a small figure.

After a long while, after making sure that there was no one again, Ming Xiang raised his head and let go of the hand covering his mouth and nose.

Her face was terribly white, and her eyes were blank.

When she found that the canyon was blocked by falling rocks, she wanted to climb up from the side to see what was going on.

Who knows, she was just halfway up when she heard someone coming.

That person is obviously her father's appearance, but others call him the third master.

Ming Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then he heard something that he shouldn't have heard.

This man is not her father!

They know there's someone in the canyon! It's the fire they set on fire!

Ming Xiang didn't dare to move, so he could only shrink himself into a ball.

Fortunately, the sound of burning grass and trees drowned out the sound of her breathing, so they didn't notice it.

"Fourth brother, tell ...... fourth brother," she muttered, climbing down the hillside.
