Just as the four princes were about to chase to the entrance of the cave, the stone cave closed with a bang, blocking the sight of the two.

Li Qingyi pulled out the machine that was embedded in the wall of the rapid cave, and this stone cave could no longer be opened.

Xianglan didn't have time to react to what happened, she was scared half to death, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Li Qingyi break the arrow on her leg, leaving only the arrow in the flesh, and exclaimed: "The girl is injured?" ”

"Well, this arrow has barbs, it can't be dealt with for a while, maybe it's poisonous, we have to leave quickly! I don't know if there is any other entrance to this secret passage. ”

Xiang Lan didn't have time to ask Li Qingyi how she knew so much about the Mu family's secret passage mechanism, she followed closely behind Li Qingyi and ran all the way through the dim passage.

Li Qingyi paid attention to the relief patterns on the stone wall all the way forward, and when he saw a half-human, half-beast stone carving, he put his fingers deep into the beast's eyes and ......

The dazzling light poured into the entrance of the cave, and Li Qingyi and Xiang Lan were both breathless, and their eyes only adjusted to the brightness outside for a while.

The two of them helped each other to crawl out of the hole, and looked around, unable to discern for a moment where it was a remote alley.

Li Qingyi dragged Xiang Lan to the corner of the alley, rolled up her skirt to look at her arrow wound.

At this time, the wound on the calf was bleeding and the color was dull.

She chuckled in her heart, and sure enough, she was right, the arrow was poisonous.

Xiang Lan hurriedly said on the side: "Girl, can you still move?" The slave and maid carry you out of here! ”

Li Qingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Although the secret passage has been sealed, the four princes must know where the secret passage leads, and they will definitely bring people to chase them here soon." The arrow wound on my body was not light, and the two of us would not be able to run far before we would be overtaken. ”

She then whispered a few words to Wo Lan in her ear.

Xianglan's eyes widened, her eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head and said: "No, the slave maid wants to be with the girl, even if the slave maid is killed, the girl can't be left alone!" ”

"What stupid things to say, I won't die, and you won't die."

Fang Cai's action was too violent, and the poison spread quickly, and at this time her injured calf was no longer conscious.

Li Qingyi hurriedly said: "At this time, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and the fourth prince would never have imagined that I would go back to the secret passage." Remember the location I told you, and when the time comes, take Qin Zeng there to save me! ”

Seeing that Li Qingyi seemed to be really sure, Xianglan bit her lip and wiped a handful of tears, and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely bring the words to Lord Qin!" ”

Li Qingyi nodded, and then advised: "Remember my words, this matter must be told to Qin Zeng in person, and you can't reveal half a point to others, in case of any accident, it is important to save your life." ”

Hulans bit her lower lip and secretly decided that if this could not be done, she would die with the girl!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Li Qingyi worriedly, turned around and ran out of the alley, merging into the bustling crowd.

Li Qingyi saw Xiang Lan leaving, he didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately turned around and returned to Fang Cai's cave entrance, re-entered the secret passage, and restored the cave entrance.

Not long after she entered, the Four Princes stopped in the alley with a group of men and horses with their hoods and faces.

An attendant looked at the secret passage for a moment and said, "Childe, there are blood stains here, but the blood stains disappeared not far from the entrance of the cave. ”

"She ran away?"

The fourth prince clenched his teeth, stared at the bloodstains, and said, "How can this little slut know so well about the Mu family's secret passage?!" Have you already arranged for someone to pick you up here? Could it be that entering the secret room with me before was just a plan? ”

The attendant was frightened by the Sen Ran in the tone of the fourth prince, and couldn't help but tremble a little, he had never seen such a fourth prince.

The other party has always been as gentle as jade, an immortal-like figure.

He said cautiously: "Could it be that someone in Dongchang is secretly investigating and wants to be unfavorable to us?" ”

The fourth prince was silent for a moment, and narrowed his eyes: "It seems that Qin Zeng is not a good person!" ”

Just now, when he left the mansion from the secret road, someone had already come to report that Qin had increased to the mansion.

The old lady of the Mu family has a big birthday, although ordinary people dare not slack off easily, but with Qin Zeng's identity, there is really no need to get close to the Mu family.

The fourth prince was surprised by Qin Zeng's intention, but at that time, he was in a hurry and wanted to tear Li Qingyi with his own hands, so he ignored it, but at this time, his heart was sudden.

I heard that Li Qingyi had been in and out of the Qin Mansion many times, and she had already known the secret passage of the Mu family, could it be that there were people from Dongchang in the Mu Mansion?

Thinking of this, the four princes' hearts tightened, and they immediately turned their horses and ordered: "You give me a careful search nearby, if you find Li Qingyi, kill him!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Mansion, Chang Yan had already changed into a squire outfit, forcibly suppressed the eagerness in his heart, and stood behind Qin Zeng with his head down, not daring to show any difference.

All the guests were surprised that Qin Zeng would actually come to congratulate the old lady of the Mu family on her birthday, and while laughing and laughing, he also kept guessing in his heart.

At this time, the old general Mu and the younger brother of Mu Guifei, who is very good at using soldiers, are not in the house, and the current affairs of the Mu family are the eldest master of the Mu family, Mu Yuanchang and his wife.

Mu Yuanchang smelled the smell of conspiracy and guessed that Qin Zeng's visit must have some unknown purpose.

After everyone's greetings were over, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Qin is honored to come to our house in person. ”

Qin Zeng's expression was calm, as if he had really come to congratulate Old Madam Mu on her birthday.

He said: "General Mu is the elder of my dynasty, General Mu Shao is also the pillar of the country, Qin has always respected him very much, today's old lady is a big birthday, Qin is a step late, I hope to forgive me." ”

He looked around and didn't see the figure of the fourth prince, so he turned around and asked casually, "Why haven't you seen the fourth highness?" ”

Hearing Qin Zeng ask the Fourth Highness, everyone did not show a strange look.

Qin Zeng is the one who even said that the prince would be tied up, so ask the fourth prince what happened?

Besides, who knows if he wants to ask himself or for the emperor.

And the fourth prince has not told Mu Yuanchang the truth about the things in the stone room at this time, first, he went out in a hurry, and secondly, he was afraid that something would be known and spread out, and Mu Ying was still in the stone room at this time for treatment.

Mu Yuanchang heard Qin Zeng ask about the four princes, and his face couldn't see any clues, "It should be that I was stumped by some trivial matters, so I will ask someone to find His Highness." ”

Qin Zeng nodded as usual.

Mu Yuanchang walked into the distance and looked back, frowned and ordered the people around him: "Go and ask, why did His Royal Highness go out in a hurry?" What's going on? ”

The people under him were about to nod their heads when they heard this, but they came to report: "Master, people are being targeted everywhere outside the mansion, and they are all masters." The house is also mixed with people, and it seems that they are looking for something. ”

Mu Yuanchang was taken aback, and ordered with a calm face: "There are many people here, follow me to the study." ”

*****

Outside the Qin Mansion, Wo Lan didn't know that he had missed Qin Zeng.

She was glad that she still had the broken silver on her, jumped out of the carriage, sent the coachman, and knocked at the door.

The vermilion door opened, and when the porter saw that the other party was a girl covered with dust, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Xiang Lan and Li Qingyi have been to the Qin Mansion, but she has not seen the gatekeeper today.

Fortunately, Xiang Lan saw Chang Ze, so he said: "The little woman is a friend of Chang Ze, and now she is in trouble, please ask this big brother to be accommodating." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed all the money in his purse into the hands of the porter.

If she opened her mouth and wanted to find Lord Qin, the other party would send her away without saying a word, and she would not even give her a chance to speak again.

So woad is very clever and chooses to settle for the next best.

But although the porter did not drive her away at once, he did not promise to help her find someone, and pushed the money back to her.

"Who are you from Changze? If you can say it clearly, I will tell you something. ”

Shelan had long heard that Qin Zeng's Imperial Majesty was extremely strict, and he didn't think that even the porter would be so difficult to deal with.

She was anxious, so she said, "I'm his cousin......"

"Cousin?" The porter's brows furrowed again, and his face showed displeasure: "If you lie, please forgive me for not being able to pass through." ”

"Wait!"

Xianglan didn't expect this person to be so shrewd, and she didn't know the specific situation of Chang Ze at all, she gritted her teeth, and turned to an embarrassed and blushing attitude, putting her relationship with Chang Ze in an ambiguous situation, hoping that the other party could believe it.

"Actually...... Actually, I'm his...... Sister ......"

The porter looked her up and down, not knowing whether she believed it or not.

Xianglan hurriedly said: "This big brother, the little woman doesn't want to go into the mansion to find someone, she just wants him to come out to see me, and she really has something very important to say...... Please be accommodating......"

When the porter saw that she didn't want to go into the house to find someone, but just wanted Chang Ze to come out and say something, his expression was a little relieved, and he said: "Don't hide it, Chang Ze is not in the house now, when he returns to the house, I will help you tell you that you have been here, so you can go back first." ”

Xiang Lan was taken aback, and suddenly became anxious, and blurted out: "Isn't Chang Ze a personal escort Qin Da Re?" At this time, Chang Ze was not in the house, did Lord Qin also go out? ”

When the porter's face changed drastically when he heard this, he waved and changed four or five guards to surround the herm: "Who are you, why do you care so much about the whereabouts of adults!" ”
