Chapter 481 Ambition

"Yan Xiu has excellent secret guards. Pick out a few capable ones to follow you. You can also bring a few more servants from home. This way, your uncle and aunt will feel more at ease." Su Yujin said.

"Don't worry, Sister Jin. I've brought all the people I need." Su Yunruo smiled and thanked him. "Thank you, Sister Jin, for still thinking about me. But Sister Jin and Minister He don't need to worry about the secret guards. I already have capable people around me who are no worse than the secret guards."

Does Su Yunruo have capable people around him? Although the Su family is wealthy, they also have many skilled and loyal servants.

But when it comes to people who can catch up with He Yanxiu's secret guards, there is no one.

Where did Su Yunruo get it from, and his skills are no worse than those of the secret guards? Seeing Su Yujin's doubts, Su Yunruo smiled and said, "It's probably because the Crown Prince agreed to this matter, and the Crown Prince also thinks that if this matter can be accomplished, it can be regarded as one of his contributions, so he is particularly concerned about this matter."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has found several people with excellent skills to follow me. On weekdays, they are just ordinary servants and are not noticeable, but in fact, they are there to ensure my safety."

I see.

Su Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is thoughtful."

"I can say that I am now a proud person. I can be considered as someone who can bring honor to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally pay more attention to me."

Su Yunruo smiled with her eyes curved, but Su Yujin tilted her head.

Is that all? Why do I always feel like there is something else going on... ——He Yanxiu and Xing'an rode out of the capital and headed northwest.

According to the letter sent by the carrier pigeon, they rode their horses for two hours and arrived at the valley mentioned by Shi Ding and Du Song.

This mountain is not big, and is connected to the mountains in the northwest of the capital. Because there is no beautiful scenery or special features, not many people visit it on weekdays. In addition, the mountains are not high and the forests are not dense enough, there are not many wild animals, and few people come here to hunt.

There is no land suitable for cultivation near the foot of the mountain, so there are no villages. Occasionally there are one or two houses, but the lights are off in the middle of the night and there is no movement.

It was a late autumn night, and the mountains were becoming increasingly gloomy and cold. The occasional cold wind made the valley seem even more desolate and cold.

There was no road ahead that could accommodate the horses, so He Yanxiu and Xing'an had to dismount and tie the horses to the thick trees at the entrance to the mountain.

Walking along the narrow and rugged mountain road, Xing'an, holding a torch, felt a little uneasy, "Is this really the place?"

"We followed the route written in the letter, so it should be correct." He Yanxiu said.

"But there's not even a slightly flat surface here, how can we..."

Before the word "Tibetan" was uttered, Xing'an heard a very loud "boom" sound.

The sound was like muffled thunder. Although it was not harsh, it was extremely dull. Xing'an was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking and even jumped to the side unconsciously.

But what happened next made Xing'an drop his jaw in shock.

A door suddenly opened in the dark mountain in front of them, and flames spread out from behind the stone door. Shi Ding even walked towards He Yanxiu and Xing'an with a torch in his hand, "Second Master."

He Yanxiu was also slightly stunned by the scene in front of him. After looking at the cave that was dug directly into the mountain, he once again looked at the surrounding valleys, "To choose a place like this, this Fan Rongxuan is really cunning."

"There are more cunning things going on inside." Shi Ding said in a deep voice, "Second Master, come in and take a look."

Seeing that Shi Ding, who usually had a playful face, was now full of seriousness, He Yanxiu couldn't help but perk up, "Lead the way."

"Yes." Shi Ding held up the torch and walked in front.

He Yanxiu and Xing'an followed.

The cave was long and winding, but the stone walls were polished very smoothly. There were oil lamps or candlesticks every ten steps on both sides, air windows every twenty steps, and secret doors every fifty steps...

After passing countless candlesticks, air vents, and secret doors, and entering several doors, and even crossing this mountain and another mountain, He Yanxiu followed Shi Ding into the largest door they had opened since entering the mountain.

Behind the door seemed to be a valley with a flat terrain. There were many houses and furnaces, as well as tools and equipment for forging, smelting, etc.

With the starry sky and the torches lit at the moment, He Yanxiu took a careful look.

What is being smelted in the furnace is not gold or silver, but ordinary iron.

The half-forged iron already had a basic shape, looking like a curved scimitar...

Shi Ding also pulled out a huge basket and poured everything inside onto the ground.

Long sword, dagger, scimitar, spear...

"There are many more inside." Du Song said, "Not only that, there are also several armors made of fine iron, and a lot of this."

Following Du Song's pointing, He Yanxiu saw several ceramic basins.

The ceramic pot was no different from the ordinary ceramic pots used to plant flowers and plants, except that there were several pots of lush and beautiful flowers growing in it.

The flowers are gorgeous and beautiful. Two of the petals have already fallen, and oval-shaped fruits that look like flower seeds have formed.

"This is……"

He Yanxiu's face was gloomy, "Poppy?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As soon as the words fell, they were blown away by the wind whistling through the cracks in the valley and drifted to every corner of the mountain.

He Yanxiu's brows were furrowed tightly together, and they didn't relax for a long time.

Fan Rongxian was braver than he thought.

And some people are more ambitious than he imagined.

A cold wind suddenly blew, and flocks of crows flew by. After circling around the bare branches for several times, they finally landed on the thickest tree.

He Yanxiu looked up for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth, "It's already winter. It's so cold, it should snow."

Snow, snow...

…

The northwest wind blew for two whole days, turning the entire sky gray.

After breakfast, snowflakes fell from the sky, splashing onto the ground.

The weather is extremely gloomy. Judging from the situation, the snow is bound to be heavy and will not last long.

After Qin Yishu lingered in front of Chongyang Palace for a cup of tea, he raised his hand and said, "Pass on my order. We will set off for Yunling Temple in one hour."

The late emperor’s birthday is the day after tomorrow, and everything has been prepared at Yunling Temple.

But according to the established itinerary, Qin Yishu will set off tomorrow.

The weather has changed suddenly. In order to prevent the snow from getting heavier and heavier, blocking the mountain and delaying the emperor's birthday celebrations, it is a great choice to go up the mountain to Yunling Temple one day earlier.

Minghai understood Qin Yishu's thoughts and quickly agreed, "Yes, I will send someone to pass the message right away."

To celebrate the late emperor's birthday, the women in the harem did not have to go. Only the emperor, several princes, dukes, princes and important officials in the court should go.

It's the end of the month, and those of you who have monthly tickets can vote for it~ Although the author is a bit slow this month, o(╥﹏╥)o 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
