Chapter 127 Falling into a Trap
Bao Da used to be a scout in the military camp. This time, Su Shengsheng gave him an important task and asked him to follow a group of foreign merchants.
But unexpectedly, the other party was very smart and he quickly lost track of him.
Just when he was feeling depressed and preparing to return, he unexpectedly met General Xie and his party.
He noticed a piece of the lotus-patterned dress that was faintly visible under Xie Xuan's black robe, and felt curious. As he rode his horse out of the way, he couldn't help but whisper, "Shopkeeper?"
Su Shengsheng couldn't see anything under the heavy cloak.
Suddenly hearing Bao Da's voice, she carefully opened a gap and revealed her eyes, "Brother Bao?"
When Bao Da heard that it was indeed Su Shengsheng's voice, he immediately rode his horse and followed.
Seeing this, the personal soldiers around Xie Xuan did not stop them. They made way for them and continued forward.
Bao Da immediately saluted Xie Xuan, and after he nodded, he said to Su Shengsheng, "Boss, I lost him."
Su Shengsheng now knew that this foreign merchant might really be related to the counterfeit currency case, so he was not surprised that Bao Dahui would embarrass him. He just said, "Thank you, General, for knowing his whereabouts. You can go back first."
When Bao Da heard that General Xie had sent people to catch up, he breathed a sigh of relief, replied "Yes", and rode away.
On the long street, Su Shengsheng could only hear the sound of passers-by giving way.
After walking for a while, they felt they were almost out of the customs, so they stopped.
We had already sent out orders to block all the important passes and roads.
Mu Ze, who had been in charge of surveillance, rode forward and reported: "General, this man has been staying in the courtyard since he came back."
As soon as Su Shengsheng heard the place, she immediately opened her cloak.
Seeing Mu Ze reporting with a serious face and a serious expression when he glanced at her, she felt a little strange.
After Xie Xuan dismounted, he clamped her down by the waist and threw her to the ground.
Su Shengsheng looked nervously at the soldiers surrounding the courtyard.
The deployment this time is so tight, we should be able to catch the main culprit, right?
She looked back and saw soldiers guarding every street corner, ready for battle.
As soon as Xie Xuan arrived, the soldiers rushed in at the command.
Su Shengsheng followed closely behind Xie Xuan and entered the courtyard together.
This courtyard is quite spacious, but the location is a bit remote.
It is not only close to the mountain behind, but also slightly close to the border city wall.
After Su Shengsheng stepped into the yard, she looked around and did not see anyone coming out of the house to resist.
Mu Ze and Chu Zhao kicked open the tightly closed doors with serious expressions and began to search each room one by one.
Xie Xuan took her straight to the study.
"Don't move, there might be a trap." Xie Xuan told her and went to the bookshelf.
The bookshelf had long been emptied, leaving only some messy rice paper spread out on the ground.
All this looked like a sign of a hasty evacuation.
After a while, Mu Ze walked in with a puzzled look on his face. "That shouldn't be the case! I've been watching from outside the whole time. I saw them come back with my own eyes, and no one left."
Xie Xuan brought a lot of people with him, and they quickly searched the entire courtyard.
Seeing that Xie Xuan didn't say anything, Mu Ze also began to knock on the walls and the ground, trying to confirm whether anyone had escaped from the secret passage.
Seeing that they didn't even spare the door frame, Su Shengsheng didn't want to get in the way, so she walked a few steps forward.
Xie Xuan then looked at her, but didn't say anything.
Su Shengsheng stood near the center of the study and began to look at the furnishings in the room.
Later, when she saw Xie Xuan knocking on the bookshelf and the wall next to the desk but finding nothing, she also imitated him and started knocking on the floor under her feet.
"Huh?" She knocked on a few tiles before noticing something was wrong. "Why does it seem like there's only empty space here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a tremor under her feet.
Before she could react, a loud bang came from below!
Just before Su Shengsheng was about to fall, she saw Xie Xuan's face suddenly change expression as he walked towards her after hearing her questioning voice.
Then, a darkness swept over like a tide and completely swallowed her!
As she was falling straight down, she was suddenly pulled over by a force.
Just as Su Shengsheng was about to scream, she heard a familiar voice above her head: "It's me."
Is it General Xie?!
Su Shengsheng took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
But before she could ask, she saw that the light above her head, which had just been shining, suddenly closed completely.
Including the chain in Xie Xuan's hand, they all fell into darkness!
Su Shengsheng hugged Xie Xuan, with only one thought in her mind: they were in mid-air at the moment.
"Don't be afraid, it's not high down there." Xie Xuan comforted her softly.
Su Shengsheng nodded, but soon realized that he couldn't see. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xie Xuan say, "There might be a trap down there, hold on tight!"
Su Shengsheng knew that she had caused a big disaster this time and had also implicated Xie Xuan, so she didn't dare to hesitate and immediately hugged him tightly.
She secretly made up her mind that if anything unexpected happened, she would use herself as a shield to protect him.
Just when he was terrified, he saw Xie Xuan leaping a few times and then landing steadily.
The moment her feet touched the ground, Su Shengsheng did not feel relieved. Instead, her heart tightened because of the strange laughter of the foreigner.
Immediately, the lights below came on and there was a bright light.
Ye Xin smiled sinisterly, and the people behind him each held a bow and crossbow, with the black arrows pointing directly at them.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a pleasant surprise this time!"
Seeing that the other side had so many people and no one had any intention of retreating, Su Shengsheng's heart was beating like a drum.
Whether the "unexpected surprise" refers to her or Xie Xuan, it is a bit uncertain this time.
She looked up at Xie Xuan and saw that he had a calm expression. He held her in one hand and protected her behind him.
Su Shengsheng held Xie Xuan's arm, which was protecting her, and said bravely, "The matter of the letter is not impossible to discuss."
She originally planned to let Xie Xuan conceal his identity for the time being. After all, he was wearing casual clothes at the moment, so perhaps he could hide it from Ye Xin's eyes.
However, this little trick was quickly discovered by Ye Xin.
"My Lord Xuanming has come, and I am sorry for not welcoming you!"
Su Shengsheng's pupils suddenly shrank when she heard this.
Lonely? ?
But she soon realized that the title "Gu" here can be used not only by kings, but also by princes.
As expected, Xie Xuan confirmed this: "The previous ruler of Baishang Kingdom captured a stunningly beautiful woman from India, who gave birth to a baby boy with heterochromia. After his mother died of illness, he disappeared. It was not until the eve of the monarch's death that he was canonized as a prince."
Xie Xuan's voice was as cold as a chilling wind that pierced the bones. "I suppose you must be His Highness Tuoba Ye."
Mr. Rabbit...
After hearing this, Su Shengsheng added something in her heart.
He actually performed the strategy of having three burrows to perfection in this underground place.
By the light of the flickering torches on the wall, one could see that the area below was interconnected like a natural cave.
Tuoba Ye was not annoyed at all when his identity was exposed. "Your Highness, are you trying to anger me and delay time?"
He slowly walked out of the darkness and into the light.
"I advise Your Highness not to waste your energy. The thousand-jin stone door is already closed. Unless the sky collapses and the earth collapses, there is no hope of opening it."
Upon hearing this, Su Shengsheng looked up along the deep patio and saw a huge bluestone that blocked the entire passage.
"If it weren't for the guidance of Manager Su, I would have returned empty-handed today." Tuoba Ye resolved her doubts with a smile.
Su Shengsheng sighed and ignored it.
They were trapped in a cave, and even as hostages, there was still a chance of survival.
Tuoba Ye's blue eyes, which could see through people's hearts, swept across her face and he raised his hand and waved.
In an instant, several arrows were fired at them.
Su Shengsheng retreated repeatedly. Seeing that Xie Xuan was struggling to resist, she quickly shouted, "You don't want that thing anymore?"
