Ruyi said this and walked to the other side of the secret passage.

The princess was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Is it possible that it hasn't been brought in yet?"

"No, it shouldn't."

Ruyi shook her head and expressed her own judgment.

"First of all, the secret passage was dug in the autumn, which proves that the whole plan had already been formed at that time. In addition, the court was peaceful in the autumn, there was no snow, and the roads were clear."

"No matter from the perspective of transportation conditions or guarding conditions, autumn is the best time to bring in explosives."

"So many things happened in the winter. The court was in turmoil. The Third Prince and the Cao family were busy coping, busy calculating, busy trying to win over talents for the palace examination, and busy preparing for a mutiny..."

"It's not the right time to deal with these things in my busy schedule."

The princess was speechless. "That's right. The court has always been very strict with explosives and they are on high alert."

"Especially after it snows, it's easy to leave traces."

Rutting is a nuisance in the first place.

Even if people carry it step by step by human power, there will always be footprints left behind. Once the slightest clue is revealed, there will be no recovery.

The Third Prince's men would not make such a mistake.

Ruyi added: "Also, after they have done these things, they need to cool down for a while, so that it will be easier for people to ignore them."

Jing San nodded, "You are right. It takes seven or eight days to walk to the nearest source of explosives in the capital. The wind and snow along the way will easily leave traces."

"Moreover, in order to obtain the explosives, Cao Zhizhang must use the power of the Ministry of War."

"If we encounter the current situation, the military department will be on high alert at any slight disturbance."

Halfway through his words, Jing San suddenly made a "hush" sound!

"There's someone inside..."

Ruyi didn't react for a moment.

Isn't it normal that there are people digging tunnels inside?

However, she soon realized something was wrong, "Do you know him?"

Jing San frowned, "The youngest son of the Cao family."

As one wishes:"……"

This was a problem. They came down here with the help of Cao Zhizhang's name, but they didn't expect Cao Zhizhang's youngest son Cao Ru to be down there. What if they were caught...

"what to do?"

The eldest princess was the most nervous and subconsciously looked at Ruyi.

Ruyi forced herself to calm down and said, "It's okay. The morning court session just ended not long ago, and Cao Zhizhang was busy trying to win over the students for the palace examination. The fact that Cao Ru is here right now proves that he hasn't seen Cao Zhizhang since the morning court session."

"That is to say, we can still get away with it, but Cao Ru is..."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Ruyi's eyes.

She glanced at Jingsan.

Jing San nodded in understanding, "I'll find the right opportunity."

The two exchanged glances, put the eldest princess in the middle, and the three of them went forward together.

Soon, Cao Ru appeared in the secret passage ahead with two people and warned: "The things must be placed properly and cannot get wet. In addition, it must be completely dug out within seven days. We will find an excuse to deal with the ground so that no one will hear any noise that should not be heard."

"well!"

"Don't worry about this, we will do it perfectly!"

Someone next to him nodded repeatedly.

But soon, he saw Ruyi and his three companions coming towards him, and his triangular eyes immediately stood up, "Why don't you kneel down when you see Lord Cao? Are you looking for death?"

As one wishes:"……"

The eldest princess: “…”

Jing San: “…”

Among the three of them, which one looks like he would kneel down to Cao Ru?

It was just a small matter, Ruyi didn't care, so he knelt on the ground and said, "I greet Lord Cao!"

“…”

Jing San was speechless and could only cooperate in the end.

The eldest princess was so angry that she wanted to cut Cao Ru into pieces, but she still knelt down.

She was just swearing in her heart that after the Cao family was destroyed, she would skin this man alive with her own hands!

Cao Ru glanced over here, "What's your name? What are you doing here?"

Because the three of them were wearing the clothes of servants on duty in the priest's temple.

"Catch it."

Ruyi waited for a while, and when he didn't see any more people coming, he gave a low order.

There was no other way, Cao Ru had to get out from upstairs.

As soon as I go out, I will definitely run into Mu Rushuang.

She just knelt down just to see if there was anyone else inside. It would be troublesome if someone heard the noise here and ran away through another secret passage.

After all, it is not certain whether there are other exits besides the priest's temple.

Since no one is coming now, just take action.

Before he finished speaking, Jing San stood up and walked towards Cao Ru, "Lord Cao asked me to come and see you..."

With a smile on his face, he walked over.

"My father?"

Cao Ru frowned, his eyes somewhat suspicious.

Before he could react, Jing San's figure flashed, and he raised his hand and slapped him to the ground, shocking the other two people.

"you--"

But before the two men could say anything, Jing San grabbed their heads and banged them against each other. The two men saw stars and fainted on the spot.

"What now?"

The person was lying down.

But how to deal with it?

Jing San suddenly felt a little confused.

It was not safe for Ruyi and the princess to go down there alone, but if he stayed, the two girls could not possibly bring three men up there.

Ruyi also had a headache.

"Go up first."

She pressed her brows and had to try again.

Jing San picked up one in each hand.

Ruyi and the eldest princess dragged one person each. They were so tired that they wanted to cry. When they went up, the eldest princess simply ignored her image and sat down on the ground. "I have never moved such a heavy thing in my life."

Mu Rushuang was shocked when she saw this, "Cao, Cao Ru?"

Because this man poisoned her grandfather, she was so angry that she wanted to catch him and kill him, but she didn't expect that when she went to the priest's hall today, she would be dragged up by Ruyi and the princess and found an unconscious person?

"I met him down there, there's nothing I can do."

Ruyi was also out of breath, "I'll leave it to you first, we still have to go downstairs."

"OK."

Mu Rushuang nodded, and ordered people to tie up Cao Ru, gag him, and throw him directly into a sack.

Ruyi's mouth twitched as she watched this scene.

But it's understandable.

But, "Don't kill him yet, take him back to see the emperor."

After all, they have no say in such a big matter.

The princess crawled on all fours and pulled herself up. "I hope I don't have to drag anyone up with me this time!"

She was really exhausted.

"Probably not."

Ruyi took a deep breath, and the three of them went down the secret passage again.

This time the journey was smooth because she pulled off the jade pendant from Cao Ru and held it, and asked if it was Cao Ru who asked her to come down.

"I really didn't expect that there were so many people hiding down there!" The eldest princess gritted her teeth in anger, "There are at least a hundred of them!"

Lee Sang-yi is the high priest.

However, he was not in charge of the trivial matters of the priest's temple; there were other people who took care of these.

It was obvious that the man had been bribed by the Cao family long ago.

It is even possible that he was originally from the Cao family.

Ruyi was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from the front, "Yan Heidou! Why are you coming down here when you're not watching from above? Is this a place you can come to?"

The man's tone was particularly stern.

Ruyi looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his forties wearing the ornate robes of the priest's temple. Although she didn't know his name, she immediately understood his identity!

He is the head of the temple of priests!

Sure enough, the next second, a lackey shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for! The master is asking you a question!"
