Late at night, in Bianjing City, in the mansion of Duke Anguo.
Jiang, Liu, Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi, Hua Wanru, they all gathered in the main courtyard.
Because half an hour ago, a group of men in black suddenly broke into the mansion and killed anyone they saw.
Jiang's face was gloomy. She remembered the instructions her master had given her before he left.
He said that the Crown Princess might do something desperate and told her to be careful.
She originally thought that the master was just worrying too much, but she didn't expect that this day would actually come, in the middle of the night.
As soon as they got the news, Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi, Liu and Hua Wanru all came over. It was obvious that they had all been warned by Hua Changjue.
Hua Lingxuan and Hua Lingyi had never experienced anything like this before and were somewhat nervous.
On the contrary, Liu and her family had experienced hardships before, so they were not panicked. Instead, Liu held Jiang's hand and comforted her.
"Sister, don't be afraid! No matter what happens, we are all together!"
Jiang was very touched and nodded.
"Well, we are a family, we are all in this together!"
An Er rushed in with a serious expression and said to several people.
"The people originally arranged by the master are all outside the city. Now the city gate is closed and they can't come in."
"Looking at the situation, there should be about a hundred people coming! We are no match for them, we can only try our best to delay them!"
"Madam, gentlemen and ladies, please hide first! Don't let the other side find you!"
"Just wait till daybreak! We'll get the man, and we'll be there!"
Jiang pursed her lips and nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
An Er bowed his hands, clasped his fists, and quickly retreated.
Jiang quickly pulled Liu and tried to find a place to hide, but they didn't know where to hide.
Especially Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi and Hua Wanru.
They are still children, nothing can happen to them.
Hua Qingqing suddenly flashed through Jiang's mind, and she thought of what she had said at that time.
The old lady’s silver and treasures were all hidden in her little Buddhist temple.
Jiang's eyes immediately lit up.
For so many years, no one has discovered where the old lady hid her silver, so it must be very secret.
Since it can hold a lot of valuables, it means the place is not small.
Jiang quickly told Liu and others about her discovery.
After everyone discussed it, they quickly and quietly ran out from the back door of the main courtyard and headed all the way to the West Mansion.
In the West Mansion, because of the old lady's matter, everyone was driven out. The entire West Mansion was idle.
Within just a few days, the place was overgrown with weeds and looked dilapidated.
Jiang thought that it was the right place to come.
One is to find the old lady’s secret room, which can delay time.
Secondly, it can lead the men in black here to reduce unnecessary casualties in the Duke's Mansion.
After all, the most important people the Crown Princess wants to kill are her masters.
They soon arrived at the old lady's yard.
Two secret guards were guarding the door, while Jiang and the others walked in quickly.
They entered the house and without stopping, went straight to the small Buddhist temple at the back.
After entering the small Buddhist temple, which had not been cleaned or worshipped for several days, there was already a thin layer of dust on the altar, which was particularly obvious under the moonlight.
Jiang first put his hands together and bowed to the Buddha statue before speaking to the others.
"Let's start looking!"
A few people nodded, and quickly dispersed to search carefully.
The small Buddhist temple is not very big. It is a square room. There is an altar on one wall and Buddha statues behind it.
They groped along the walls one by one, not even sparing the Buddha statues and their bases.
Hua Lingyi looked around but found nothing. In addition, he had drunk some wine last night, so he sat on the futon and dozed off.
Suddenly a mouse passed by him. He opened his eyes slightly and stepped on the mouse to death.
The rat's blood did not spread out, but instead leaked directly under the floor.
Hua Lingyi was stunned. He quickly lay on the ground and looked down.
It was not his illusion. The blood had indeed leaked down there.
Hua Lingyi quickly said to the others
"Come and look at this, could the secret passage be underground?"
Everybody looked over here.
Hua Lingyi quickly explained it.
Several people came over and saw that blood was flowing to the ground.
Everyone threw the dead mouse aside, moved the futon aside, and then knocked on all the floor tiles around.
An Er, covered in blood, ran in at this time, and said anxiously.
"All the men in black have been led here. We can't hold on any longer! Madam, have you found a hiding place?"
Coincidentally, at this moment, Hua Wanru found one under the altar and knocked on the slightly empty floor.
Hua Lingyi hurried over, clasped his hands together, and lifted up the floor. He saw that there was a pull ring under the floor.
He pulled the ring with his hand.
There was only a slight sound, and then a large tile where the futon was originally placed was moved to the side, revealing a dark hole, and next to the hole, there was a simple staircase leading down.
Everyone was delighted. Hua Lingyi was the first to go down to investigate. After confirming that there was no danger, everyone followed him down.
An Er immediately left the Buddhist hall, and soon heard an explosion, followed by a scream.
Amid the flying dust, An Er and other secret guards quickly hid in the secret room.
Then the floor closed automatically. There was no gap at all.
When the men in black rushed in angrily, they could no longer be found.
The leading man in black yelled, "Go find them quickly. They can't get far. They might be nearby!"
The other men in black quickly started looking around.
Because there were so many people, their footsteps were chaotic, and they quickly covered up the footprints and floor dragging marks left by An Er and his men.
…
Hua Qingqing looked at the leader of the convoy in disbelief.
When she reacted, she quickly lowered her head and buried her face in Qiu Mobai's chest.
Qiu Mobai froze. He looked over and was also stunned.
Because the leader was actually Hua Changxiao.
Hua Qingqing muttered to herself.
[A few days ago, when Hua Changxiao was beheaded, he was saved by the Southern King's people! ]
[But I didn’t expect to see him again so soon! ]
【It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet! 】
[I can't let him find me! Otherwise, I'll definitely be dead! ]
[It will also let the Southern King know who I am! And he will suspect that Daddy is here too! ]
Hua Qingqing is a bit messy.
Qiu Mobai also knew that things were getting a little serious.
He held Hua Qingqing calmly and stayed away from Hua Changxiao.
But Hua Changxiao soon discovered them both.
Hua Changxiao no longer had the elegant temperament he had before. He became sinister and cold.
When he saw Qiu Mobai, he quickly thought of the time when he tried to show his kindness to Qiu Mobai, but Qiu Mobai ignored him.
Hatred swirled in my heart, and suddenly it turned into a sneer.
He rode his horse directly to Qiu Mobai's side and spoke condescendingly.
"Mr. Qiu, long time no see!"
