The last barrier was about to be removed. Xue Jinrong felt disheartened, while Mo Xiao's eyes were filled with morbid joy.

Suddenly, an anxious voice came: "Master! It's bad! There's a fire outside!"

"Didn't there just now a fire? Just put it out! Useless thing, don't bother me with these trivial matters anymore!" Mo Xiao scolded dissatisfiedly.

The voice outside became cautious, "But this time the whole place is on fire! The guests ran away in panic and trampled two people!"

Mo Xiao immediately stood up and shouted, "What the hell is going on?!"

"I don't know..."

"Master!" another voice said hurriedly, "Three people have entered the secret passage and are coming this way. Miss Hongliu is leading the way!"

Mo Xiao's eyes instantly became darker, and he shouted sternly: "Stop it! Block it at all costs!"

When it was first built, this secret room was designed to allow them to escape, so it was extremely secretive. Once it was exposed, only the guests who came here to play would be exposed, and Mo Gai Shi would be able to escape unscathed.

So Mo Xiao knew that once he was exposed, he would be implicated in the General's Mansion and the consequences would be disastrous.

What he had to do now was to escape with Xue Jinrong.

Mo Xiao stood up, picked up the wooden stick, walked towards the wheelchair step by step, drove the dog, and walked out of the gauze curtain.

Xue Jinrong felt like he had escaped death.

Although she didn't know who Hongliu was, for some reason she felt that these people who broke in were related to her.

After a while, the sound of a wheelchair approached, and Mo Xiao appeared in front of Xue Jinrong again, with a somewhat stiff smile on his face, "Rong'er, come here, I'll untie the chains for you!"

He held a key in his hand.

Hearing the sound of fighting outside getting closer, Xue Jinrong shrank back, the corners of his lips gradually curled up, "Mo Xiao, I won't go with you!"

The sound of fighting had reached the door. Mo Xiao looked at her gloomily and shouted, "Xue Jinrong, then you just wait for me to come back and take your body away!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a dagger, cut the ropes of the two black dogs, threw the key back, and shouted: "Bite her to death!"

Of course he couldn't let her go out alive, otherwise he would be exposed, right?

Xue Jinrong's expression suddenly changed. Those two dogs were half a man's height, similar to the wolves that Su Bei had killed at the palace banquet...

Two black dogs pounced on him. Xue Jinrong subconsciously tried to dodge but accidentally tripped.

"Jinrong! Are you there?" Su Bei shouted from the door.

However, what responded to her was two dog barks.

Su Bei suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards the direction where the barking sound came from. He saw a pair of feet resting on the edge of the bed, but no one was there, and two black dogs were rushing over.

"Hey!" Su Bei shouted loudly, and the attention of the two dogs was immediately attracted to her.

Mo Qingying stepped back quietly and watched coldly.

She knew there were people guarding this place, so she wanted to bring Su Bei in and have them kill her in the chaos. But she didn't expect that she had learned martial arts without knowing when, and fought her way into the secret room.

However, the two dogs looked very fierce, and she wanted to see if Su Bei could really defeat such big dogs?

Reality slapped her in the face. Although the two dogs were large in size, they were not as wild as wolves. In addition, they were domesticated and had good food, so the two dogs were not very agile.

So Su Bei quickly killed them all, and a dog head rolled to Mo Qingying's feet.

Su Bei rushed over to see Xue Jinrong, but saw her lying under the bed with her head on the ground and chains on her feet. It was obvious that she was frightened by the dog and fell down and hit her head.

"Jinrong! Jinrong!" Su Bei rushed over and helped her up.

But Xue Jinrong kept his eyes closed and did not react at all.

Fortunately, I was still breathing.

Su Bei threw the knife to Ling Ziyou, "Cut the chain!"

The knife fell to the ground at Ling Ziyu's feet with a clang. At the same time, a shout came from the secret passage: "Protect the master! Kill them!"

Ling Ziyou had just picked up the knife, but when he got nervous, the knife fell to the ground again.

Su Bei hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Cut it down!"

The voices were getting closer and closer. Ling Ziyou still couldn't pick up the knife, but he picked up something tremblingly, "Abei, do you think this is the key?"

Subi's eyes lit up. This thing was much faster than cutting the chain!

She put Xue Jinrong down and ran over, took the key and unlocked the door, then heard footsteps reaching the door.

"Ling Ziyou! You carry Xue Jinrong on your back! I'll fight my way out!" Su Bei said as he ran towards the door with a knife in hand.

She had just chopped several people and killed two dogs. There was a lot of blood splattered on her body and her fair face was also stained with blood. She looked very embarrassed.

People at the door rushed in, and from the sound there seemed to be more than a dozen of them. This place was not as spacious as the secret passage, and Su Bei was quickly surrounded by the crowd.

…

In Zhuangzi.

On the surface, nothing suspicious was found, but Chu Younan smelled a familiar smell. He remembered that Huang Shi was arrested at about the same time as now.

He asked Ling Xiao to gather all the people in the manor together, intending to use mind reading to find flaws, but before everyone was gathered, Chu Youyang's voice was heard.

"Third brother! Have you found it? Have you found Jinrong?"

Chu Younan rolled his eyes at him, "What did you go off to do?"

“I…” Chu Youyang lowered his head in grievance, “You all released lanterns, I thought I should do the same, but there were not many sky lanterns left, I went to several stores to buy all of them…”

"Forget it! Finding someone is more important!" Chu Younan said coldly.

Chu Younan walked up to the gathered people.

This manor was owned by the Dali Temple Minister. It was not a big place, nor did it have many fields. He made money mainly by raising chickens and ducks, which were his wife's dowry. There were not many people working on the manor, and most of them knew nothing about it. However, the manager of the manor was very suspicious.

Chu Younan frowned and looked at the steward who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted sternly: "Tell me! Where is the person?"

"Your Highness! I... I don't know! Everyone is here!" The steward lowered his head and looked like a quail.

Chu Younan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped. "Send a team to search the backyard and move all the furniture away!"

The manager shuddered, but quickly regained his composure.

Chu Younan frowned slightly. The secret passage was in the backyard, and the entrance should not be a piece of furniture, but this guy didn't think about this most crucial point.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Invite him to tea!"

The manager looked up, bewildered, and felt that this "drinking tea" should not be the same as that "drinking tea"...

I always feel like something is wrong...

Familiar recipe, familiar taste.

In front of everyone in the village, the manager was filled with cold water until his waist was round and his belly was bulging. Although the weather had turned warmer, he could not withstand the effect of a belly full of icy water. He was shivering with cold and confessed everything.

The entrance was under the table by the window in his room. When Chu Younan led a group of people down, he saw several officials in the court running around in dishevel. This manor that sold chicken and duck meat on the ground and "chicken and duck" meat underground was glowing with heat, and a group of people were hurriedly running deep into the underground secret room...
