Qu Ningxi had no doubt that if Pei Yingxiao was defeated, Dahuan estimated that his qi would be exhausted.

By that time, Yuping was everywhere.

Chapter 64: 64 Return to Beijing

The group ate in the cave, and the outside was completely dark, and there was silence everywhere.

Because it's some height above the ground, even beasts or snakes and insects wouldn't choose such a deep shaft as a place to hide.

It's safe and won't be disturbed.

After eating, a group of people took torches and went to explore the depths of the tunnel.

Qu Ningxi is naturally curious, she can come into contact with iron in her daily life, but she has never seen the appearance of raw ore.

Not to mention the cracks in the ground today, the scenery is truly wonderful.

She followed Fujitoshi into the narrow stone cave, and at first, both walls were covered with golden yellow silt, which was extremely delicate and sticky.

When the water recedes, they hang evenly on the stone walls, but as they go deeper, the silt disappears with the small pools that appear.

Instead, there are patchwork stalagmite columns.

Strangely, these pillars look like wax from a distance, without edges and corners, smooth and jade, and up close they look different from ordinary stones.

It glows with a warm yellow glow under the light of the torches.

Qu Ningxi couldn't help but stretch out his hand, touched it gently, and was wet: "Is this jade?" ”

No, she knew it wasn't as soon as she got started, but they were beautiful, and there were so many of them, and the whole cavern was covered with ......

"It's a kind of stone deep in a cave, called stalactite, which can be used as medicine."

The person who answered Qu Ningxi was not Teng Min, but Pei Yingxiao, who came from behind at some point.

"Your Highness, why did you come down?" Qu Ningxi looked back at him.

Pei Yingxiao's eyebrows raised slightly: "You are bold, aren't you afraid?" ”

This kind of black and dark stone cave is deep and cold, and the nose is full of damp and fishy smells.

Qu Ningxi shook his head: "There are so many people, I'm not afraid." ”

In fact, she was worried about what to do if there was a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, but the group of people who accompanied her were deaf and skilled, and ordinary poisons were not opponents.

Besides, Qiu Chi said that poisonous snakes are very clever and do not survive in such caves deep in the heart of the earth, where food is not found, and where animals are not habitable.

The rock wall is so smooth because of the perennial moisture of the water droplets that it is too smooth for a snake, but no one without wings can climb it.

Pei Yingxiao didn't say much, just held her little hand and drilled a hole with her to enjoy the scenery.

The so-called miraculous workmanship, the creation of nature, is more beautiful than that of any master carver.

In particular, the stalactites in the cave are not uniform in color, with muddy white, warm yellow, and crimson red, which are gorgeous and dazzling under the firelight.

Pei Yingxiao's understanding of Qu Ningxi was overturned long ago by the coward who started from the beginning.

She was really timid, like a little snail, and he shook off so many handles along the way, and she didn't want to explore them or catch them and use them.

It's too much of a separation.

But deep down in her heart, her boldness is also true.

After knowing his background, she was not deterred by the Lu family's blood feud, she chose to stand by his side.

Although he was clumsy, he did not promise him any loyalty or support, but only quietly......

Everything in the wild, look at it and adapt well.

Last year, she took her on the boat and tread on a snowy night to dig for treasure, and she stumbled along the mountain road, not complaining, but feeling novel.

As at this moment, it seems that she is keen to experience the experiences that the 'Houfu girl' should not have.

She probably longs for everything in the world beyond the boudoir.

The group didn't go too far, because there weren't many tarpaulins, and there were only a few torches made, and ordinary firewood could only be used to make a bonfire.

Moreover, they reached a large cave hall through a tunnel, and found several other cave entrances in the hall.

If you don't mark and go deeper, it's easy to get lost and forget where you came from.

The underground rivers here are intricately maze and have more than one or two forks.

Back at the campsite, rope up the half-wall platform, which is drier and warmer than the bottom and spacious.

Qu Ningxi sat next to Pei Yingxiao, with hay branches and leaves spread under the wide cloak, and there was a fragrance of grass and trees, so that he could sleep in a nest at night.

She thought that the prince had a habit of cleanliness, and he loved cleanliness on weekdays, and he always bathed as soon as he went back.

Now it seems that it is adapting well.

Thinking like this, Pei Yingxiao took the lead and asked, "Can you fall asleep without a bed?" ”

He looked at her, as if he was worried that she was too squeamish.

Qu Ningxi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that maybe both of them had given each other some imaginary reactions.

"I'm okay."

The mats of the hay shop are quite soft, different from cotton fur and other textiles.

"You're at ease." Pei Yingxiao chuckled lightly and said, "When the situation calms down, I can lead you around." ”

Sleeping in the wilderness is acceptable, and what kind of carriage and horses are bumpy must not be a problem.

Qu Ningxi didn't expect him to say this suddenly, and his eyes straightened: "Really? ”

Her heart skipped a beat, she felt joy, and then she doubted.

He said that when the matter had subsided, he had already ascended the throne and become emperor, so why did he take her out of Shangjing?

This...... Is it possible?

She grew up so far away that she went to her grandfather's house, and very few times.

"What, you don't want to go?" Pei Yingxiao bent the corners of his lips, "Then forget it......"

Before he could finish speaking, she grabbed his sleeve by her: "How can you forget it?" His Royal Highness's words have been spoken, and he must do what he says. ”

Qu Ningxi didn't know if it was or not, and the environment at this moment made her forget the rules and shackles, and she wanted to face her heart and tell him that she wanted to travel everywhere.

Obviously, such a wayward act did not conform to the teachings she was accustomed to.

As the mother of a house, it is her duty to teach her husband and children, how can she be so ignorant.

Even if she is the crown princess, if she wants to become the queen in the future, not only can she not act recklessly, but she also has to admonish Pei Yingxiao in turn......

But can people really act like puppets and follow the rules?

She died in the palace like that all her life?

"What are you thinking?" Pei Yingxiao picked up her chin with one hand and asked in a low voice, "Don't you continue to convince Gu?" ”

Qu Ningxi followed his movements and raised her head and met him, "If I hadn't come to Shuzhong, I might never have known that there was such a cave in the world." ”

It's not a spectacle, of course, it's not a strange thing, but by analogy, she's going to miss a lot.

Qu Ningxi's little finger tapped his sleeve, "Your Highness is willing to accompany me to see the scenery of this world?" ”

Pei Yingxiao was not surprised, "You really yearn for the days outside the palace even more." ”

"That's because I've been with my aunt and watched a lot of life in the palace."

She can't say it's disgust, not to that extent, but there seems to be no hope for life in the deep palace at a glance.

She was faintly afraid in her heart, and she fell into the competition for favor among concubines.

When one day she has a child, she will definitely fight, and she has to fight, and she has no choice.

Qu Ningxi did not confide in her worries, which have never belonged to men.

Pei Yingxiao looked at her for a long time, and he didn't know what he could see from her face.

"Lone promises you."

After speaking, he propped his head obliquely with one hand, and his tone was slightly melancholy: "Lone never promises others, I took the initiative to give it to you today, Mo Yue is a loss......"

Seeing this, Qu Ningxi hurriedly said: "Otherwise, it's better to write it down in black and white, right?" ”

"Huh? Are you afraid of being alone? His narrow eyes squinted.

“…… I didn't say that. But there is a real concern.

********

Early the next morning, the resting crowd arose, and each of them packed up and left the place.

Before leaving, don't forget to restore the vines and thorns on the top of the sinkhole to their original state, so that this place will not be discovered, and then send someone to dig up the iron ore in the future.

At the moment, we don't know how much ore there is underground, and someone will come and check it later.

Since Pei Yingxiao led people up this mountain, avoiding the sight of Emperor Tianqing and Meng Tianshi, he would not be unprepared.

Ming Eun had already sent a flare to the people who were on standby outside Yi Fengpo, and some of them answered it, and quickly fled before the killers could react.

Ying Chu appeared in front of Qu Ningxi without warning.

She actually came from Shangjing to help them in cross-dressing.

Soon, under Yingchu's skillful hands, the wealthy merchant of Jiangnan took his concubine, escorted by a group of dart masters, to escort the 'goods' into Beijing.

Ming En and these people are all kung fu at a glance, and if they pretend to be guards, I am afraid they will not be able to say anything.

It is inevitable that those experienced people will be the eyes and ears of the attentive people, and it is only natural that they should become a dart master.

Pei Yingxiao really got a batch of commercial goods to make the team look decent.

It's just that the grievances have changed from a servant girl to a concubine.

The reason is that I don't want her to tie her chest in the hot weather, and the servant girl who is too good to follow is easy to attract attention.

Qu Ningxi didn't care about this, her appearance had been retouched, and she couldn't see it in the mirror.
