"Hello, I really didn't know it was Miss Rui just now, my people are offended, and I hope you will forgive me. Ye Qing stepped forward to apologize to Rui Xinlan.

"Let's get out of here first, and we'll talk about the details when we see Zhen Guogong. Shui Menglan knew that Rui Xinlan still had questions to ask herself, but she still interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Miss Water is right, it's easy to expose here, everyone go back to my father. Ye Qing also nodded in agreement, and then Rui Xinlan followed everyone behind and passed through a few houses in the dark, and came to the courtyard of a large family, but everyone did not enter the house, and Rui Xinlan found that they came to an inconspicuous dilapidated house next to the house.

"Zhen Guogong here?" Rui Xinlan thought to herself, but what happened next made her dispel this idea, she followed Shui Menglan and the others into the dilapidated house and found that this was a firewood house, in addition to the mountains of firewood, there were several large water tanks.

"Definitely not here. Rui Xinlan looked at the scene in front of her and shook her head, "What are you doing here?" ”

To her surprise, after Ye Qing asked someone to open the lid of one of the water tanks, Rui Xinlan found out that this water tank was a camouflage, and there was a passage under the water tank, and it turned out that there was a secret passage here.

"No wonder Senior Sister's breath disappeared, it turned out to be running underground. Rui Xinlan saw everything and suddenly realized.

"Why is there a tunnel here?" Rui Xinlan still couldn't figure out.

"This should be the firewood house of the big family in the village, and the people here have the habit of building a tunnel in the house to lead to the outside of the village. Shui Menglan explained as she walked down the tunnel with Rui Xinlan.

The tunnel was very narrow, only one person at a time, and everyone walked slowly forward next to each other, and after about a stick of incense, Rui Xinlan found that they had come to the exit, and from the exit came a jungle.

"Judging by the path of this tunnel, we should be somewhere east of the village. Rui Xinlan looked at the dark woods around her, "No wonder Zhao Shen can't find it, it's strange that those people he sent in the huge deep forest can find it." ”

She didn't go far, she found a cave, this is a natural cave, the entrance of the cave is not big and secret, but when you enter the cave, you find that it is actually quite spacious, and there is no problem with accommodating hundreds of people at the same time.

Sighing at the strangeness of nature, Rui Xinlan followed Shui Menglan into the cave, where she saw more people, all of whom were in the uniforms of the regular army of the Xuantian Kingdom, and everyone saw Ye Qing and the others all surrounding her.

"General Ye Qing is back!"

"General, Zhenguo Gong asked you to report the situation quickly. ”

"I'll go now. Ye Qing just entered the cave without a moment of rest, and he said to Rui Xinlan and the two: "You can also come with me if you work hard, my father will definitely need the information you have mastered." ”

"It is incumbent upon me to do my duty. Rui Xinlan hurriedly returned the salute.

The three of them entered the depths of the cave under the guidance of the guards, where the plan did not illuminate the moonlight, only a few blazing torches, and the red flames swayed in the wind, making the cave full of mystery.

At the end of the cave, Rui Xinlan finally met the person Zhao Shen was looking for, Ye Hua's father, the Zhenguo Gong of Xuantian Kingdom, Ye Tao, and General Ye.

"It's back. Ye Tao heard the footsteps and did not look back, but used the torch in his hand to shine on the map on the wall, carefully studying something.

"Father, we just came back and brought back a man. ”

"Oh!" Ye Tao replied and turned around.

Rui Xinlan saw clearly this man who could control the fate of Xuantian Kingdom, and she felt very similar to Ye Hua at first glance, so she unconsciously wanted to compare the other party with Ye Hua, but this person is more mature and stable, or vicissitudes, and Ye Hua will also have this sense of stability recently, but there is no sense of cangsang.

"General Ye, this is the junior sister who came with me, I went with Ye Hua to see Huaicheng Taishou before, and this time I must have something important to repay when I came out to find me. "Shui Menglan introduced Rui Xinlan like Ye Tao.

"Thank you. Ye Tao greeted Rui Xinlan politely, "Did that Zhao Shen embarrass you?" ”

"General Ye is too worried, that Zhao Shen looks pretty good, and he didn't embarrass us, but after we got in touch with him, we found that things may not be so simple, but we don't know the specific situation of the rebels, so Ye Hua asked me to report to you so that I can echo Ye Hua inside and out. ”

"Tell me what you got this time. Shui Menglan is even more anxious than Ye Tao.

Next, Rui Xinlan told the people present about her and Ye Hua's meeting with Huaicheng Taishou, as well as the news learned from the conversation with Taishou, and conveyed Ye Hua's thoughts to them at the same time.

Ye Tao didn't gnaw, he pondered, and then he asked Shui Menglan to take Rui Xinlan to rest, and he discussed it with Ye Qing.

"What the hell is going on, it's not that there are many rebels outside the city, but I didn't even see a single figure all the way over. When she came to the resting place, Rui Xinlan asked her own question first.

"Don't worry, wait for me to tell you slowly, you will understand, this has to start with General Ye and them coming to Huaicheng. Shui Menglan also looked helpless, but she still told Rui Xinlan about her current situation.

"General Tingye told me that they hurried up, and took the army's fastest spirit ship to arrive in Huaicheng on the night before Ye Hua woke up, when Huaicheng Taishou personally came to pick up General Ye, and by the way told General Ye about the current tight military situation, after the general heard about it, he didn't care much about going up to the city wall to check, although he could see some rebels under the city, but also found a lot of suspicions, General Ye in order to prevent the other party from having any tricks, he personally took people out of the city to inspect. ”

But Na Taishou said that when General Ye arrived, the enemy had already retreated, and General Ye went out of the city in order to pursue the enemy. Rui Xinlan said.

"It's nonsense, General Ye came overnight, and who else knows except Huaicheng Taishou. Shui Menglan looked a little angry again.

"And then?"

"Later, as the soldiers who came back said, General Ye was ambushed, in order to prevent the soldiers from being seriously injured, General Ye did not resist desperately, and some doubts also made them not plan to return to the city, but retreated to the village you passed by just now. ”

"That village is deserted and abandoned?" said Rui Xinlan.

"Yes, it seems that because they are too deep into the deep forest, the people there moved away a long time ago, and the village should have been abandoned for a long time, and it was that abandoned village that gave General Ye and them a barrier to stop the enemy's attack, until the next day they found the tunnel and ran through the tunnel to the mountain when the other party was in the gap, and finally found this cave. ”

"It's so dangerous! General Ye doesn't plan to go back to Huaicheng, is he beginning to suspect that Huaicheng is too guarded?"

"From the time they were attacked, they began to suspect it, but they were afraid that if they went back at that time, they would be besieged, so in the end, they sent people to rescue them directly to the mansion, and he knew that our Tianxingmen would send people this day, so it was better to ask for help from the mansion than to ask for help from us. ”

"General Ye thought it through, and he didn't suspect that there was something wrong with that Huaicheng Taishou. ”

"Then it's me. Shui Menglan changed the topic and continued to say to Rui Xinlan: "After I separated from you, I went out of the city alone, and walked to the deep forest in the north according to the previous statement, just like you thought, I didn't see any rebels on the road. ”

"It can be said that not only did you not see the rebels, but there were very few people. Shui Menglan paused and said: "I didn't think so at first, but I still feel strange when I hear you say this, it stands to reason that there are many immortal sect altars distributed on Huai Island, even if there are no fewer people in ordinary times, but compared to the excitement of Chengli, it is indeed too weird." ”

"Maybe it's all hidden in the village, and those altars should be set up near the village, right?"

"I searched in the general direction, passing by several villages, but I didn't find any trace of the rebels, and everyone lived peacefully and asked the villagers about the rebels. ”

"No, the shopkeepers in Huaicheng know it, why don't they know it outside the city where the rebellion happened, is it because it's too remote and the information is blocked?"

"I thought so at first, but then I found out that the people of the village had dealings with Chengli, and they passed by the branch of one of the sects, and there was no one stationed there, there were several in a row, and some had a small number of people moving. ”

"All joined the rebellion?" Rui Xinlan looked dazed, "But where did the rebels go?"

"Here's the problem, if the people in these sub-altars are gone, but go to participate in the rebellion, there are indeed a lot of them, but where have they gone, listening to what General Ye said, the people who besieged them at the beginning were not all cultivated, and most of them just knew some ordinary external exercises. ”

"Later, as I went all the way up, I stumbled upon the village you had been to before, and saw traces of fighting outside the village, so I realized that they must have been fighting here. However, I didn't find any trace of them for a long time, and just when I was wondering, I met General Ye Qing who came out to investigate. ”

"He took the initiative to contact the jade pendant on my waist when he saw it. Shui Menglan looked at the jade pendant hanging on her waist at this time.

"Later, I learned that he was Ye Hua's eldest brother, if he hadn't come out at the beginning, I was afraid that he would be recognized as a spy of Huaicheng Taishou like you. ”

"Then Zhao Shen did send a lot of people out to find you, if he really has a problem, isn't Ye Hua dangerous?" Rui Xinlan didn't know that Ye Hua was eating and drinking in Juxian Mansion at this time, and there were beautiful women in his company.

"He shouldn't be, his experience is stronger than all of us, although he hasn't cultivated now, but if you want to deal with him, I think that Huaicheng is too guarded and a little tender. Shui Menglan was not worried about Ye Hua, but she still thought in her heart: "I hope he is okay." ”
