Qin Tianan laughed, "Isn't this clear? O man who will take her life."

"You!" Zhang Tong was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and wanted to smash it.

"Have you figured it out? If you smash this cup over, will it end up on me, or on Mrs. Chen's face?"

After a moment, Zhang Tongju let go of his hand, turned around and knelt straight in front of Qin Tianze: "Your Highness, Weichen and Mrs. Chen have known each other since they were young, and they don't hide it from Your Highness, Weichen and her have a marriage contract, it is reasonable, it is impossible to see her in prison for no reason without reprieving her hand, what Chen Taishou committed for personal gain has nothing to do with her, and he has already written a letter of resignation, his affairs can't involve her, Wechen learned last night, and after rushing there, he saw that they were all lying on the ground, but Mrs. Chen was still breathing, so she was in a hurry to take her home for rescue."

Qin Tianze looked at him, shook his head, and said lightly, "Tell the truth."

Zhang Tong's teeth moved, and he kowtowed to him and said, "Weichen—every sentence is true."

Suddenly, Mrs. Chen whispered a few words to Qin Tianan, and after listening to her, he took a deep look at her, took a stack of letters from behind her back, turned his head and shouted to Zhang Tongju, "Don't act, you take us to release the rest of the people in the mountain now, otherwise, ......

The next moment, a red appeared on Mrs. Chen's neck.

Zhang Tongju stood up abruptly and said hurriedly, "Don't! As long as you let her go, I'll take you, I'll take you!"

"Let her go? You take us there first." Qin Tianan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and walked out of the house directly with Mrs. Chen.

Zhang Tongju stumbled out: "Okay! I know! Listen to you!" He snatched the horse of one of the guards, rolled over and rode up.

Then the group rode all the way to the bottom of a mountain outside the city, and Zhang Tongju pointed to the mouth of the cave in front of him and said that the rest were there.

With a wave of his hand, the guards who came with him entered in an orderly manner, and after a while, they helped out many scarred men one after another.

Lin Yanzhi's eyes widened, and she looked over carefully one by one, until the guards told her that there was no one inside, she finally blinked, and stretched her neck to look into the cave in astonishment.

Gone?!

What about a thousand cities?

Has he already ......

No way! All the thinner than him survived, how could he?!

"Only this one, nothing else? It's not just these people, right?" Lin Yanzhi stared at Zhang Tongju.

Zhang Tongju lowered his eyes and said, "The others have been dug up, and all the people who can work have been transferred to this place, and there is just a hole inside." He looked up at Qin Tian'an again, "Can you let her go now?"

Qin Tianan knew what she was looking for, and Mrs. Chen had just told him that Zhang Tongju had hidden evidence of collusion with Beiyuan in the mountains, so he immediately carried a torch in one hand and a sword in the other hand to threaten Mrs. Chen, and went into the cave without a sound.

Zhang Tongju clenched his hands and scolded, snatched the torch from the guard's hand, and rushed in.

Seeing this, Qin Tianze wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lin Yanzhi.

"Your Highness, I am with you."

After entering, if there were no torches, they really couldn't reach out, and Qin Tianze, who was a step late, could only move forward along the dug passage.

As he walked, Qin Tianze kicked something, and when he picked it up, it was a piece of iron and stone.

Suddenly, Lin Yanzhi shouted to him, "Your Highness! Come and see, there's a little fork in the road."

Qin Tianze walked over and took a look, it was a path that could only allow one person to walk sideways, and after the two glanced at each other, they walked sideways along the winding path together.

They walked for about two quarters of an hour, and at last they came to the end, in the silent cave, when they heard a sound.

The sound of water droplets hitting stones. bμtν

The two of them continued to walk forward cautiously, and Qin Tianze saw that there were also many torches inserted on the wall, so he lit them one by one, and the hole finally lit up.

In front of him was a large pool, and above it was a stone platform with tables, chairs, and some chests.

Lin Yanzhi, who just wanted to come in to find someone, didn't expect to be touched by her, she stretched out her foot without thinking about it, and planned to go over to take a look, as soon as her foot touched the water, she was pulled back by Qin Tianze, and a turn fell into his chest, and the torch in her hand almost burned to his shoulder, and she was so frightened that she threw it away.

"This waterhole doesn't know the depth, Yanzhi be careful."

Qin Tianze took her step by step on the stone road in the east and west, and came to the table smoothly.

The two of them rummaged through the tables and made a mess of the originally neatly placed tables, but they didn't find anything useful, most of them were some digging progress, personnel arrangements or something.

Lin Yanzhi picked up the pen holder on the table and looked at it with one eye, and threw it away without seeing anything.

Knock ——!

They listened to this sound from nowhere in a daze, and when they came back to their senses, Lin Yanzhi immediately walked quickly behind Qin Tianze and looked left and right vigilantly.

Qin Tianze asked her what she had touched just now, and Lin Yanzhi pointed to the water and said, "I just lost a pen holder and went in."

Seeing Qin Tianze looking at the water in a daze, thinking that it was something important, he said embarrassedly, "I felt useless and threw it away, why don't I go and fish it up?"

However, the next moment, Qin Tianze picked up the inkstone and threw it into the water.

Well? What's going on?

Lin Yanzhi looked at him inexplicably for a long time, but saw that he grabbed something again and threw it in, and then stared at the water again.

"Your Highness?" She couldn't help but scream.

"Yanzhi, in which direction did you just throw it?"

Lin Yanzhi tilted her head and thought about it, thinking about the situation where she had just lost the pen holder, she turned around and walked straight to the table, grabbed the stamp pad with her bare hands and threw it away.

Knock ——!

Now, Lin Yanzhi finally understood.

Qin Tianze stared at the place where the ink pad fell into the water, squatted down and probed but didn't touch anything.

He thought about it, took off his robe and lay down directly, rolled up his sleeves, and half of his hands were not in the water, but only some grass branches were fished.

After a moment of contemplation, he moved forward again, and now his whole hand was reaching in, and his fingers were stretched as straight as he could, until he finally touched something in the shape of an arc.

He stood up, looked around the table, and looked around the table, then looked at the box they had opened earlier.

Lin Yanzhi tilted her head and asked, "Your Highness, are you looking for something?" ＂

"There's something down there, I'll see if there's anything I can pick it up."

「…… Wouldn't it be nice to just go down and bring it up?"

Qin Tianze's rummaging hand paused: "...... Since it's hidden there, there must be some tools left here to scoop it up."

Lin Yanzhi pointed to the stove and screen placed on one side: "Your Highness, look at that."

Qin Tianze coughed dryly and said, "Yan Zhi is so smart, yes, you may be able to pick it up with a screen." He said so, but after he finished speaking, he unconsciously lowered his head and looked away.

Lin Yanzhi raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, the corners of her mouth hooked uncontrollably, and she forced a smile and said, "The minister knows how to swim."

After speaking, she directly took off her coat and untied her belt, her eyes rolled around, and she mischievously threw the clothes in her hand to him: "Your Highness is tired of helping me get it for a while."

Qin Tianze, who didn't turn his head when he saw her undressing, subconsciously turned back because of her voice, and the purpose was to take off the leftover underwear, smiling at her, what he had in his hand was the clothes she threw away, which still had residual warmth.

His heart jumped at once, not because of her undergarmented figure, but because of the moment she jumped into the pool.

"Yanzhi!"

At this moment, he regretted that he didn't know water, and secretly decided that he would have to learn how to swim even if he was suffocated to death in the future.

Worried, he ran to the stove and lit the fire, and then ran back and waited, counting in his mind that if she didn't come up, he would jump himself.

Fortunately, soon a box surfaced from the water, and behind the box was Lin Yanzhi's little head.

After he lifted the box, he stretched out his hand to Lin Yanzhi, but he didn't expect that after she held it, she pulled it hard, almost not pulling him into the water.

His face was no more than a finger away from her, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and Lin Yanzhi playfully flicked some droplets of water into his face.

"Teasing you, Your Highness, the minister has not admonished for a long time, and today I want to say to His Highness, water is not terrible, just overcome it, and let the minister teach you some time in the future."

She stumbled to dive into the water like a fish for a moment before swimming up again.

"Okay. Come up quickly, lest you catch a cold." Qin Tianze stroked her hair, which had become like seaweed.

However, when she came up, he was uncomfortable again.

The soaked undershirt showed her figure, and he could only raise his chin and look up at the top of the cave: "Yanzhi, go and put on dry clothes."

Lin Yanzhi pursed her lips, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh and said hello, so she obediently went to change the screen.

Qin Tianze exhaled deeply, but held his breath again in the next moment.

Because of the firelight, Lin Yanzhi's shadow was reflected and magnified on the roof of the cave, and her posture and every movement she made were clearly reflected.

He quickly lowered his head again, and finally closed his eyes altogether.

Lin Yanzhi took the wet clothes and twisted them, put them on the screen and roasted them on the stove, and then walked to his side.

When he saw the dirty clothes hanging there, his face showed a little red, and he put on the robe he had taken off before and tied her without saying anything, and he also took up the two empty sleeves and tied them, and wrapped her tightly before nodding with satisfaction, and turned to look at the box that had just been brought up.

Lin Yanzhi looked at the locked box, puffed out her cheeks and pouted, "Alas, I wouldn't have lost that pen holder if I knew it, and I could still smash it."

Qin Tianze couldn't help poking her face and took out the iron stone from his arms.

"Hey, where did you come from?"

"I just picked it up on the road, and that's what they're going to dig for."

Qin Tianze raised the iron stone in his hand and slammed it against the lock a few times.

With a "bang", the lock was finally smashed to the ground, and when I opened it, I saw that there were letters inside.

They opened all the letters, but inside they were blank sheets of paper, with only a seal in the corner.

"Your Highness, whose seal is this?"

Yao......

Qin Tianze looked at the red mark of the word "Yao" on it, shook his head, and for a while he couldn't imagine that he and Lin Yanzhi looked at each other blankly.

"Yao!" He looked at Lin Yanzhi and shouted.

Lin Yanzhi was suddenly shouted back to her senses, and she said angrily, "I know this is the word Yao, Your Highness, you don't need to ...... it."

"How could it be her...... It can't be, she's gone early tomorrow."

"Huh? Who is Your Highness talking about?"

Qin Tianze looked at Lin Yanzhi steadily, and said slowly, "The last envoy, my father's emperor's official, Huo Xueyao."
