The snow here is two feet thick this year, but when you poke it with a sword, there is frozen soil underneath.

In other words, these soils were not dug out just now.

It was before the weather turned cold.

The people who dig the holes dig the surface of the ground in the fall to prevent it from freezing in the winter.

Then, in the winter when everyone thought no one would dig the ground, they dug the tunnel below. What a good plan.

Ruyi thought about this, and even before she went down the tunnel, she had already made a guess, "I think this is not the only entrance. The underground doesn't freeze in winter, but the excavated soil needs to be exported. It must have gone out through the river behind the mountain."

She asked someone to lift the board.

Under the wooden board, there was indeed a dark hole, which shocked the princess, "It's actually a secret passage!"

Her face turned a little pale.

Because if the enemy succeeds, she and her family will be sent to hell together——

Although, at the moment, apart from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, she seems to have no relatives.

"Let's go down and take a look."

Ruyi glanced at her and Jingsan, "But Your Highness can stay here. The tunnel is probably dangerous."

The eldest princess was afraid.

But she didn't want to be a coward at this time. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to make progress.

Hiding like this is a joke.

"I'll go down with you."

The eldest princess took a deep breath and walked in first.

At worst, I'll die.

At that time, there will be no need to go to Xi Qin for marriage!

Compared with the long-lasting fear of going to Xi Qin, the current fear, which is dominated by emotion, does not seem so strong.

Jing San followed and signaled Ruyi to walk at the end.

Ruyi followed closely.

…

In the courtyard, Mu Rushuang grabbed everyone in the courtyard and sneered, "Very brave, when did you start digging?"

If this group of people cause trouble on New Year's Eve, she will go to heaven with them.

The other party said nothing and looked down the mountain.

It is obvious that this group of people are well-trained and are not easy to deal with. Even at this time, they are still trying their best to conceal the truth for their master.

Mu Rushuang grew up in a military camp and is no pushover.

"Who are you showing off here to?"

A sneer and a flash of cold light.

The sword in her hand stabbed directly into the sole of one of the men's feet and turned it suddenly. The other man immediately let out a scream, and was in so much pain that he lost his mind.

"No need to say anything. I just happen to be in a bad mood these days, so I'll have some fun with you guys."

She snorted, without changing her expression.

Xueying, who was hiding in the dark and planning to pick up Ruyi, watched this scene with twitching mouth.

That’s really cruel.

On the surface, she is clearly a heroic, cheerful little girl.

Who would have thought that he wouldn't even blink when he started fighting?

However, Mu Rushuang had already learned a trick: to treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

The other party was planning to send them to heaven.

Who is she being kind to?

That move was truly unreserved.

She pulled the sword out, and blood splattered everywhere.

Another sword, approaching the other person next to him.

The man was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Then, his legs went weak and he knelt down.

Really, he didn't want to be tortured by this woman.

It hurts so much.

He discovered that Ruyi’s sharpness lies in her observation and judgment, while Mu Rushuang’s sharpness... can make people bleed.

I can't afford to offend any of them.

"Then tell me."

Mu Rushuang smiled, her voice becoming gentle, "I know Ruyi and I are both women, and you've looked down on us since the beginning."

"But it doesn't matter. When we torture you, we will still make you feel ecstatic."

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, looking at her, her gender suddenly blurred——

Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, if she does this, she will become the King of Hell.

Gender doesn't matter.

Finally, the one who knelt down trembling all over told the truth, "This hole was dug at the beginning of autumn, and we didn't stop until the beginning of winter."

"What about the other end? Where did you dig?"

Mu Rushuang glanced at him and fiddled with her nails slowly. The sword was in her arms, and the blood on it stained her skirt red, but she didn't care at all.

That way...

Looks like a traitor.

The man was horrified and answered her tremblingly, "The other end is on the cliffs of the back mountain. After all, there is a lot of soil that needs to be processed. This is also the priest's temple. Although the high priest does not take this road, if the noise is too loud, he will inevitably ask a few questions."

"So, we first chiseled a hole through the cliff at the back of the mountain and used that as an exit. All the soil we dug out this winter was poured out from there."

Okay, now I’ve explained everything.

That means it's over.

Everyone started to give up. "We were just controlled by others and did hard labor. We know nothing about other things! Please, General, please look into this matter!"

"Who is controlling it?"

Mu Rushuang glanced at them.

"Yes, yes, yes... Lord Cao Zhizhang." Fearing the pain, the man spoke carefully.

"How do you control it?"

Mu Rushuang continued to ask.

At this moment, this group of people began to look at each other, and their expressions became complicated, cautious, and hesitant.

Seeing this, Mu Rushuang snorted, "Did he capture your family, or did he hold your weak spot and grab your pigtail?"

Everyone: “…”

There was no way to avoid it, so I had to honestly say, "All, all."

Another person said, "Originally, I was a prisoner in jail, but he got me out. He said that if we help him accomplish this, he will let us out."

"If you can't do it well, rewrite the case against us from just dealing with us to killing all nine clans."

Upon hearing this, Mu Rushuang looked towards the Cao family’s mansion at the foot of the mountain.

There was a chill in her eyes, "Lord Cao is quite capable."

Sooner or later, she will kill Cao Zhizhang!

Thinking of her grandfather being poisoned, Mu Rushuang hated the Cao family so much that she wanted to confiscate the Cao family's property and wipe out the entire family more than anyone else!

The people who were caught didn't know what to say when they saw her like this.

In the end, they did the hard work, but the outcome could not be changed.

Karma will always come, whether it comes sooner or later.

Mu Rushuang came back to her senses and asked, "Since you are here, where are the people who were originally here?"

"Then, then we don't know."

Someone stuttered, but subconsciously looked at the hill of soil below.

Seeing this, Mu Rushuang's pupils shrank and she ordered, "Get the tools and dig this place up for me!"

"But now, the soil is frozen..."

"Either dig it out for me, or I dig out your eyes!" Mu Rushuang had a bad feeling -

There must be something extraordinary hidden under this pile of soil!

Those people had seen her ruthlessness and did not dare to be negligent. They took tools and started digging the ground.

At this time, Ruyi and others walked down the mountain for about half a mile and then saw a fork in the road.
