Chapter 577 So ugly I'm ashamed to show my face

After taking the antidote and using the soul-stabilizing talisman, the hallucinogenic effects that had just occurred immediately disappeared.

Shen Muyang frowned.

"Ningbao, could this be poison?"

Ning Bao thought for a moment,

"I think it looks a bit like it. Although I don't know much about poisons, I just checked the surroundings and there's no evil aura."

It seems highly likely to be poison. It's a pity that my senior brother isn't here. He's busy with his wedding at home, and I left Leng Bing in the capital. There's nothing I can do about this poison.

But now that we've taken the antidote, we're not afraid of the poison anymore. I think we should just go straight to the bandits' den and see if they're real or not; they'll eventually reveal their true colors..."

Faced with Ning Bao's suggestion, Shen Muyang nodded without hesitation.

"OK.

Now that we're here, we have to break into this bandit's den no matter what.

However, the situation in the bandit's den is unclear. Why don't Ningbao and Lengwu wait for us at the foot of the mountain, and I'll have Leng Lei stay here with you?

I'll go take a look first..."

Ning Bao interrupted before Shen Muyang could finish speaking.

“Brother Muyang, the Emperor ordered us to fight the bandits together. It’s wrong of you to leave me behind.”

"I..................."

“I know Brother Muyang is worried about me, but I am worried about you too.”

Since we care about each other, let's go together. That way, we won't have to worry about each other.

Shen Muyang pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, then let's both be careful."

.......................

Now that they had made a plan, the group didn't delay and used invisibility and flight talismans to fly to the mountaintop.

The mountain was shrouded in thick fog, and since it was their first time there, they certainly didn't know the exact location of the bandits' hideout.

With Ning Bao by her side, she took out her small compass, and with the compass pointing the way, they quickly and accurately found the location of the bandits' den.

It was already dark when the group, now invisible, silently arrived at the heavily guarded bandit hideout.

Looking at the surrounding houses and defenses, Shen Muyang frowned and lowered his voice.

"The defenses here are not simple; it seems these bandits are quite skilled."

Suddenly, Ningbao stared blankly at the veiled woman walking towards them from the other side...

"Ningbao, what's wrong?"

Noticing that Ning Bao's expression was off, Shen Muyang quickly asked her with concern.

Ning Bao murmured to herself, watching the woman's retreating figure.

"That woman looks familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"

Shen Muyang was stunned for a moment.

"Ning Bao has met you?"

Could this woman be from the capital?

"Smack!" Ning Bao slapped herself on the forehead in frustration.

“I know who she is now. If I’m not mistaken, she should be Liu Xiulan.”

Shen Muyang was also very surprised.

"Liu Xiulan?"

Liu Xiulan from the Liu family?

Ning Bao nodded.

Yes, it's her.

When Liu Xiulan and the Third Prince went to guard the imperial mausoleum, news of their deaths spread in less than a year.

At the time, I was thinking, how could such cunning people as the Third Prince and Liu Xiulan have died so easily?

Because of this, I subtly reminded the Empress, and the Empress then told the Emperor.

The emperor even sent his personal guards, the Tiger Guards, to the imperial mausoleum to examine the corpse.

The people who went to perform the autopsy did not find a single case.

Could it be that they faked their deaths back then?
