So Ye Ningxiang hurriedly bid farewell to Princess Duan and followed behind King Duan silently. Fortunately, this Duan Wang really did something secret, because the door he walked out of the palace was the most remote and smallest of the several side doors of the palace, and it was also locked on weekdays.

King Duan branched out from all the subordinates and guards around him, as if he didn't want people to know that he was leaving the palace from here, let alone that he was going there in a while. All this was clearly seen by Ye Ningxiang, who was hiding in the shadows, Ye Ningxiang thought that if nothing else, what King Duan did was probably the secret that caused Su Qingqing to end up like this.

Duan Wang looked east and west, made sure that there was indeed no one around, quickly opened the side door, and quickly left the house. Ye Ningxiang didn't dare to follow out immediately, but listened inside the side door, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves very close to the door, after Duanwang went out, there was a clear sound of horses' hooves, so Duanwang must have gotten out of the side door and got into the carriage that had been waiting outside.

Ye Ningxiang felt that if King Duan got into the carriage, he would soon travel a long way, and if she didn't hurry up, she might lose it, so she used her light skills to jump out of King Duan's mansion, but fortunately, the carriage did not go far.

Then Ye Ningxiang used light skills to follow the carriage quickly, and hid under the carriage before the carriage reached the downtown area. Ye Ningxiang clenched a horizontal wooden bar with both hands, her feet against the bottom of the carriage, and the Luo skirt that was supposed to float up with the wind was also clamped by Ye Ningxiang's legs, even if you look closely next to the carriage, you will never find that there is an extra person under the carriage at this time.

The carriage was not too fast, but it was far away, and Ye Ningxiang felt that the carriage was gradually driving out of the downtown area, and there were fewer and fewer people in the places it passed. Because of maintaining a difficult posture for a long time, Ye Ningxiang's arms and legs were already extremely sore, if it weren't for the support of strong faith, it is estimated that she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

It's almost there, it's almost there, just bear with it, Ye Ningxiang kept encouraging and comforting herself in her heart. Finally the carriage stopped, Ye Ningxiang looked at the zigzag and potholed land, and there were no pedestrians around, so she expected that this place must be a deserted suburb not far from Jing'an City. And there should be a farmhouse in front of the place where the carriage stopped, because Ye Ningxiang faintly saw a building that looked like a pile of stucco.

Duan Wang got out of the car carefully, then briefly tidied up his clothes, which were a little wrinkled due to the long time in the car, and then naturally entered the farmhouse behind his hands.

After the carriage escorted Queen Duan, he did not stop long, and returned the same way. Ye Ningxiang quickly got out of the carriage when the carriage turned, and found a hidden place around.

Ye Ningxiang really wanted to follow King Duan immediately to see what kind of secrets were in the small farmhouse, but she was very unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, and she was afraid that her efforts would be wasted if she moved forward so rashly. So she carefully looked at the surrounding environment outside the farmhouse, and after about half an hour, Ye Ningxiang cautiously approached the farmhouse.

However, perhaps because of the reason why she has become too sensitive due to years of training, Ye Ningxiang always feels that there is something wrong with this place, some of it is too lonely, so cold that she has never seen anyone else except Duanwang. However, Ye Ningxiang was bent on finding out the secret of King Duan, preferably the evidence of his crime, so that she could avenge Su Qingqing with the help of the official family, although Ye Ningxiang had doubts about this abnormality, she did not take it to heart.

The windows of this farmhouse are made of the most ordinary pasted window paper, and several places have been broken and damaged by long-term wind and rain, and Ye Ningxiang can easily detect the situation in the house through the damaged window paper.

The furnishings of this house are simple, and it can even be said to be simple, but at this time, there is not only King Duan in this house, but also a handsome and beautiful man dressed in black and about twenty years old. The two seemed to be talking about what it was. The man in black didn't seem to be afraid of the name of King Duan, he sometimes sat and sometimes stood in front of King Duan, and his demeanor when he spoke gave people the feeling that he was also very postureous.

The two of them now behave like King Duan is a servant, and the man in black is the master, and King Duan needs to ask the man in black for advice on his actions. Ye Ningxiang held her breath and condensed, clenched her fists, and thought: Could it be that there is a deeply hidden force above this Duan King?

However, Ye Ningxiang's random speculation was soon confirmed to be indeed arbitrary. Because at this time, King Duan suddenly slapped the table with his hand violently in anger, and shouted in his mouth: "What, it will take three days, isn't it already eighty-one days, why can't it?"

Ye Ningxiang was confused when she heard this, and after a closer look, Ye Ningxiang found that the man in black, who was originally very postureful, saw that Duan Wang was angry, and shook it very respectfully, and then said something to Duan Wang, because he didn't speak loudly, Ye Ningxiang didn't hear a word, but judging from his demeanor and movements, the man in black should be persuading Duan Wang Mo to be anxious.

Ye Ningxiang was puzzled in her heart, and suddenly felt a muffled sound in the back of her head, and she lost consciousness.

When Ye Ningxiang woke up, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, recalling the picture of herself being knocked unconscious, and secretly regretted in her heart: how could she be easily discovered after studying with Xiao Qingyu for so long, and if she was discovered, she would also take herself in.

Ye Ningxiang tried to move her whole body, but found that she was tied into a zongzi at this moment, and except for her head, which could be slightly rotated, she couldn't move anywhere else. Ye Ningxiang opened her eyes wide and looked around at the environment she was in now, oh my God, she was actually locked in a wooden cage, which was so small that she could only lie in it, and her legs were curled up because the cage was too small.

In addition to her cage, there were several cages next to her, and there were also girls in the cages who were tied up into zongzi like her, and Ye Ningxiang could still hear their crying.

I didn't know where I was, I didn't know how to escape, Ye Ningxiang was very anxious at this moment. According to the current situation, King Duan has enough time to destroy all the evidence of the crime, and then kill himself like crushing an ant, or also pick off his hands and tendons like he did with Su Qingqing, and then cut off his tongue to prevent himself from talking nonsense. What to do, what to do?

At this time, a familiar voice came from Ye Ningxiang's ears, "Ye Ningxiang, is it you?"

Ye Ningxiang nodded with difficulty and looked at the cage where the sound was made, and the person in the cage was also trying to move his body to try to see Ye Ningxiang's face in person to confirm her suspicions.

Ye Ningxiang was so surprised that her eyes almost didn't fall to the ground, because the woman who talked to her turned out to be Princess Danyang who hated her very much on weekdays but gave her several small gifts.

Ye Ningxiang shouted: "Princess Danyang, why are you here?"

At this time, Danyang was tied into a zongzi like Ye Ningxiang, unable to move, and his entire body was firmly trapped in this wooden cage that was too small to be smaller.

Danyang was a little embarrassed to hear Ye Ningxiang ask like this, and his voice was much quieter, "Do you remember that some time ago, Fluttershy said that her sister came to Jing'an to look for her and disappeared as soon as she arrived in Jing'an?"

Ye Ningxiang nodded.

Danyang continued: "I thought that this time must be related to the frequent disappearances of young girls in the capital recently, so I have been investigating outside these days. In the end, it was discovered that a slave trading firm called Dawu Ya Xing had been sending slaves and maids to the same merchants every few days in the past two months, adding up to nearly eighty young girls. ”

Danyang moved his body with difficulty, pressed his face tightly to the corner of the wooden cage, and continued while looking at Ye Ningxiang: "What kind of people do you say will ask for a few slaves and maids every few days, and they all want girls between the ages of fifteen and eighteen? Isn't it abnormal?"

That Danyang was not frightened because he was trapped in a wooden cage, but because a good listener like Ye Ningxiang suddenly appeared, he actually talked about his experience of being arrested with relish, which sounded like he was narrating a very exciting and fun thing.

"So I pretended to be a slave and asked Dawu Yaxing to sell me to that family, and I don't know what went wrong, and I became what I am now. How did you get here?" Danyang said again.

"I was the king of the stalker, and then I was found to have been knocked unconscious with a blunt object, and I woke up here. Ye Ningxiang replied, thinking that this Danyang's heart is really big, she is anxious when she falls into such a situation, and this princess with a golden body is as calm as if she is nothing.

So Ye Ningxiang couldn't help but ask, "Princess Danyang, aren't you afraid?"

"What? This has something to do with King Duan?" Princess Danyang's focus was completely on Ye Ningxiang's last sentence, and she didn't hear what Ye Ningxiang asked later, as if she had missed something, Danyang took the initiative to ask, "What did you ask me just now?"

"Isn't the princess afraid?" Ye Ningxiang asked again.

That Danyang actually laughed and said: "My Danyang followed the imperial brother to the battlefield at the age of fourteen, what kind of scene have I never seen, and now it is nothing." Besides, I've been fine after so many wars, and I'm going to be fine now. ”

Optimistic, calm, and atmospheric, Princess Danyang is undoubtedly a commanding female general. Ye Ningxiang's good impression of Danyang has risen sharply.

Before, Ye Ningxiang only knew that this Danyang was dissatisfied with the family affair that her imperial brother had set for him, and she escaped from marriage to find her aunt in the country, but she didn't expect her to have such an experience.

Ye Ningxiang suddenly remembered that in his previous life, his father supported Turtle Whisker as the commander, and that Princess Danyang must have participated in the battle of Turtle Whisker against Bei Su, so she asked: "Does the princess know Su Zhiwu, the general of Zhenguo before leaving the country?"

Hearing Su Zhiwu, Danyang's face showed a little sadness, "Of course I know, General Su is good at governing the army, and I have learned a lot from him, but Brother Xi Ze doesn't like him, so I haven't interacted with him too much." ”

After that, Danyang's face became even more sad, "In the battle of Wuling that day, our rear military camp was attacked by a sneak attack, Brother Xi Ze said that he was going to rescue General Su, but somehow he became the hero of exposing General Su's rebellion, I don't know the reason, but I have always been on Brother Xi Ze's side." ”

This sentence made Ye Ningxiang's mind turn several times, Mu Xize originally wanted to rescue his father, is this true? Why did this rescue turn into a harm, and what kind of secret is hidden in it.

Xu is looked at Ye Ningxiang in deep thought and didn't speak, Danyang asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's fine. Ye Ningxiang reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.

At this time, the man in black that Ye Ningxiang had seen before walked up to them with light steps, with a very sly smile on his face, and said while looking at Ye Ningxiang: "Do you really think that you followed Duanwang all the way, and we haven't found out?"

Then the man in black walked up to Danyang, squatted down deliberately, his smile was even more sinister, he stretched out his index finger and touched Danyang's chin with interest, and said, "Your good princess shouldn't come here to stir up this troubled water, it's really boring!"

Danyang dodged back as much as he could, but he still couldn't avoid the man's dirty fingers, so he shouted angrily at the man: "You look like a human, but in fact, you are a scumbag, a scum!"

The man's smile was even stronger, and there seemed to be an eerie chill all over his body, "I'm a scumbag, I'm a scum, and I don't look human!"

As he spoke, the man's right hand touched the left side of his neck, and he tore off a layer of skin from his originally handsome face, which turned out to be a fake face.

At this time, the face of the man in black was really revealed, or it was not a face at all, because he had no face at all.
