When the guard lured the guards away, he was prepared to die. His expression was calm, and he thought that if he was captured, so be it, as long as the young master escaped.
To his surprise, after being captured and brought back, he saw the young master, who should have escaped, lying on the ground like a lump of mud.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Young master."
He then let out a cry of grief and tried to rush forward.
The guards wouldn't let him actually come forward; they kicked him to the ground.
“It’s you.”
He also saw Jiang Bai at that moment.
As Wang Shaoyang's close attendant, he naturally recognized Jiang Bai, but he didn't understand why Jiang Bai was here.
"Gag them and tie them up to your prince."
Jiang Bai had no interest in knowing why Ming Yu was so determined to capture Wang Shaoyang. Seeing that the man had already been captured, he stopped caring.
After handing the man over to the guards, he left the place and headed towards Mangshan.
Mangshan.
It still looked like a misty, cloud-shrouded mountain, with thick fog floating in the forest.
Various small insects scurry across the ground and trees.
Jiang Bai was discovered as soon as he arrived.
"master."
The patrolling guards in black robes emerged from the mist and respectfully bowed to Jiang Bai.
"Has anyone come to Mangshan recently?"
No.
The guard in black robes didn't understand why she asked that question, but he answered honestly anyway.
Jiang Bai frowned.
"Okay, I got it. You go ahead with your work, I know the way."
The guard in black robes bowed again and withdrew.
Jiang Bai, preoccupied with his thoughts, walked towards the location of the eldest princess's mausoleum.
Mangshan is dangerous, with many venomous snakes and ferocious beasts. Even during droughts, the people of Luzhou avoid it like the plague.
However, for the various forces searching for the location of the Princess's tomb, the obvious strangeness of this place could not possibly go unnoticed.
Why didn't they send anyone here?
Upon arriving in the mountains, Jiang Bai met Xuan Ye again.
"Before I came to Mangshan, had anyone else come to Mangshan?"
Xuan Ye was slightly taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he was surprised to find that since the young lady left, no outsiders had come to Mangshan.
Even if they did, they would lose their lives on the outskirts.
When Jiang Bai was told about this, the thoughtful look in Jiang Bai's eyes deepened.
"Master, has something happened?"
Otherwise, why would she suddenly ask if anyone had been to Mangshan?
"I only had some guesses in my mind."
Jiang Bai shook his head.
"Have someone keep an eye out and see if anyone has trespassed into Mangshan since I arrived."
Xuan Ye, understanding the implied meaning from the music, asked, "Does Master mean that someone is following you?"
At the same time, she was also wondering who was so bold as to dare to follow her.
Aren't you afraid she'll twist people into pretzels?
Jiang Bai didn't say much, only nodded slightly.
"I'm going downstairs for a bit. You all stay outside and keep watch."
After saying that, Jiang Bai walked toward the temple where the princess was enshrined.
Looking at this temple sitting so blatantly here, even though it's hidden behind the mountain, Jiang Bai still felt a strange sensation, as if it were being done too openly.
She stared at the statue of the eldest princess for a long time before opening the tunnel and going down.
The gold bars on the outside remained largely untouched because Jiang Bai himself didn't need that many and hadn't lent any of them to Ming Yu.
She has already formed an industrial chain with the things she owns, achieving self-sufficiency, so naturally she won't use the gold and silver here.
She walked down, inserting the necklace around her neck into the keyhole of the stone door, and the stone door slowly opened.
Returning to the familiar place, Jiang Bai didn't look around much and went straight to his destination—the coffin of the eldest princess.
She was genuinely curious.
This was because Madam Song told her that those people had interrogated her in order to find out the whereabouts of the Princess's mausoleum.
With their capabilities, if they could find even the Song family, a descendant of the eldest princess, it's impossible that they couldn't find the location of the eldest princess's tomb.
Furthermore, apart from the gold, there were no other items buried with the eldest princess in her mausoleum.
The forces that want to find the tomb of the eldest princess wouldn't go to such lengths for some gold and silver, even if there is a lot of it.
In particular, the Crown Prince of Xin was willing to acknowledge Lady Song as his mother in order to gather information.
He even impersonated Jiang Bai.
It looks really strange.
She always felt that there was more to the story behind the Princess's mausoleum.
Jiang Bai entered the tomb chamber, but instead of going directly to the coffin, he went to the statue of the strange beast and stared at the black stone in its mouth.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and reached out towards the stone.
The moment her finger touched the stone, the Princess's mausoleum suddenly trembled, startling her so much that she immediately withdrew her hand, and the tremors stopped just as quickly.
It was as if the shaking of the tomb chamber just now was just her imagination.
Is there some kind of mechanism in this stone?
Jiang Bai was filled with doubt and uncertainty. He tentatively reached out his hand again, and the same vibration came again.
Because she wanted to test whether the stone was a mechanism, she didn't let go this time, and as a result, she found that the vibrations were getting stronger and stronger, and even stone dust was falling from above.
Xuan Ye, who was waiting outside, was alarmed.
"Master, has something happened?"
Upon hearing his voice, Jiang Bai withdrew his hand.
The vibration stopped again.
Jiang Bai's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
"It's nothing."
She replied briefly, then fell silent, her eyes fixed on the stone, which seemed increasingly familiar to her.
However, the tomb chamber shakes constantly whenever she touches the stone. If she were to remove the stone, the tomb chamber would probably collapse in an instant.
