Su Xiaoxiao thought about giving a packet to Wei Xu first, and then she couldn't go in.

Su Xiaoxiao resigned herself to her fate and took out a small peach wood mirror. Facing the mirror, she smoothed down her frizzy hair one by one with an expressionless face.

The two of them took a short break at the foot of the mountain and ate something to fill their stomachs.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them went up the mountain overnight.

Since Wei Ting, Wei Liulang and the Saint Maiden had not arrived yet, they did not need to rush and walked slowly. Fortunately, they did not experience morning sickness again.

The entrance to the mine was closed early, and two patrolling guards were standing at the sentry post.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xu had already changed into their night clothes and were not noticeable in the darkness.

Wei Xu wanted to kick the gate as soon as he saw it.

He raised his foot heroically.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyebrows jumped, and she quickly hugged his arm, whispering: "Dad, you can't kick!"

Wei Xu frowned with deep resentment, and chose the latter between kicking the door and listening to his daughter-in-law.

Su Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two waited until the guards changed shifts before sneaking in.

Su Xiaoxiao followed the route she remembered and took Wei Xu to the abandoned mine.

We met many patrolling guards along the way.

The last time she came, there weren't so many guards.

But last time it was during the day. In a place like a mine, there are many miners who want to escape at night, so it makes sense to arrange more guards.

When the two were halfway there, they heard a deliberately suppressed conversation coming from behind a big tree.

"Dad, just tell me."

It was the voice of Envoy Lu.

Su Xiaoxiao paused and pointed at the treetops on the ground.

Wei Xu understood and flew with her to the top of the tree.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed aside the leaves blocking her sight and saw clearly the two people talking not far away.

One is Lu Changshi, and the other is Lu Changshi’s biological father, Lu Zhushi.

Master Lu was knocked away by Wei Xu's headbutt and still limps on one leg.

He leaned on his cane and sighed, "What did you want me to tell you? I already said I don't know!"

Lu Changshi said: "Dad, you have been in the mine for so many years, how could you not know anything?"

Manager Lu said, "The abandoned mine has been sealed a long time ago, and I have never been there!"

Lu Changshi said angrily: "It is true that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. When my mother was still alive, my father loved me the most. Now that my father married the daughter of the Xue family and had two younger brothers, I have become an outsider. Well, I will stay in the Saint Maiden Palace for the rest of my life and never get married, so that my father won't have to worry about me."

"You--" Manager Lu was choked by his eldest daughter.

Lu Changshi said in a muffled voice: "Since Dad treats me as an outsider, I will never come back. Take care, Dad. I am leaving now."

She was about to leave immediately after she finished speaking.

Manager Lu stomped his cane and said, "Stop right there!"

Envoy Lu stopped but did not turn around. He still had his back to her father with an angry look on his face.

Manager Lu walked over with his cane, and said helplessly and angrily, "Why are you asking about this? It's not good for you! I didn't even dare to ask about the abandoned mine, and I accidentally opened my mouth once, but your grandfather warned me sternly that if I want to live, don't ask."

Envoy Lu turned around and looked at him.

Manager Lu frowned and said, "There is a person imprisoned in the abandoned mine, a very important person, and the three managers are all involved."

Envoy Lu asked, "Who are they working for? Thank you, Master?"

"Tsk, you think too highly of Xie Yunhe." Lu said, "It's your majesty."

Envoy Lu was completely shocked.

Su Xiaoxiao has learned from Su Xuan that the person behind the scenes is the one in the palace. She is just a little surprised. Although Master Lu looks arrogant and brainless, he is not.

It would be better if Envoy Lu knew about this.

She is the Saint's confidant.

After the father and daughter left, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xu went to the abandoned mine.

The two came to the secret room where the man was imprisoned.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the key from the brocade bag that the spy chief had put in it and opened the stone door of the secret room.

Surprisingly, the man was awake, kneeling on a cushion in the center of the hall, painting.

He turned his back to the stone gate, as if he didn't care about the late-night visitor, and continued to paint.

It wasn't until a head came up to him, as if wishing it could grow eyes onto his portrait, that he turned his head and looked at the other person.

Then he got a big shock!

Wei Xu was wearing a fang mask and was silent, which really made him look like a ghost.

The man had been locked in the secret room for so many years, and for the first time he felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He looked at Wei Xu, then at the other shadow projected on the ground, and turned back in surprise.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at him and said, "Sorry to bother you so late at night."

The man's expression relaxed: "I thought I saw a ghost."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xu raised his head and looked around in confusion, starting to look for a ghost.

Su Xiaoxiao sat down opposite the man.

Wei Xu sat next to the man. Unable to find the ghost, he began to look through the scroll on the table.

The man looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Didn't I tell you last time not to ask about me again?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'm not here to ask about you. I'm here to take you out."

"Take me out?"

The man thought he had heard wrongly.

Su Xiaoxiao said again: "That's right, take you out."

The man suddenly laughed: "Do you know where this is?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Cheng family mine."

The man corrected him, "You are wrong. This is the mine of the King of Southern Xinjiang. No one can escape."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Wei Xu who was flipping through a pile of portraits: "Others can't do it, but with him, it will definitely work."

The man also looked at Wei Xu beside him: "Who is he?"

"A master." Su Xiaoxiao said.

The man smiled faintly: "One? Do you know how many guards there are in the mine?"

Su Xiaoxiao said confidently: "Don't worry about this, I have a foolproof plan. I just want to ask you one question, do you want to go out?"

The man wrote on the portrait: "What if I don't want to?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Then let me change the question. Do you want to go out with me, or do you want to be captured by the Saint?"

The man paused with his pen in his hand.

Wei Xu snatched his pen, spread out a piece of white paper, and started drawing quickly!

A trace of vigilance flashed across the man's eyes: "What on earth did you do?"

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said calmly, "We didn't do anything. It was the Saint who discovered your existence and now she is on her way to catch you. By the way, this Saint and the one in the palace are not in harmony with each other. You are very useful to her."

The man said, "Don't you have your own purpose in saving me?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "No, I just want to repay you for saving my grandmother's life."

The secret room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of Wei Xu painting.

The man looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Little girl, you lied to me, I can see through it."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Why don't you use me for once, get out first and then make a long-term plan?"

Asking for a monthly ticket.
