They had been circling around this area several times, and each time they entered, they encountered thick fog. Every time they passed through the fog, they found themselves outside Mangshan.
There were about five men in black, all of them tall and dressed in black.
He wore a blue ghost mask, which looked rather frightening.
"Chief, there's something strange about this Mangshan Mountain."
A man in black spoke, his voice hoarse, as if something had pulled at his throat, and with a hint of sinister intent.
The man in black, addressed as leader, had a deep gaze and simply nodded.
"Have the people from the Eastern Palace and the Second Prince's residence gone in?"
Besides them, the people who followed Jiang Bai to this place also included people from the Eastern Palace and the Second Prince's residence.
The secret guards from the Eastern Palace and the Second Prince's residence both appeared here.
Almost as soon as the leader finished speaking, they saw two groups of people coming out from the direction of Mangshan.
As soon as they came out, they looked over warily and saw the black-clad men wearing blue demon masks. The two groups on the other side also fell silent.
The groups of people looked at each other.
You guys couldn't get in either?
Ha, so you went in?
They're all a bunch of useless trash.
An invisible tension permeated the air between the various groups, but each of them had their own mission and couldn't stay in one place staring at each other forever.
Each party compromised and chose a direction, heading towards Mangshan.
Almost as soon as they entered Mangshan, the fog thickened.
At this moment, Jiang Bai, who had just come out of the village, suddenly looked up at the sky and stared blankly.
Just now, she seemed to sense something moving in this world.
Almost as soon as she noticed, the black stone in the mouth of the strange beast in the Princess's mausoleum stopped trembling immediately, and the slight strangeness that Jiang Bai had sensed also disappeared.
This thing is alive?
If Jiang Bai were here, he would definitely be shocked.
How could a stone, especially one placed in a tomb, possibly be alive?
But she wasn't here.
Having achieved her goal of visiting Mangshan, she naturally wouldn't stay long.
As for those who were following her, since they couldn't get into Mangshan, there was nothing to worry about.
This explains why Wang Shaoyang and his men, who were chasing Ming Yu, did not follow him into Mangshan after he entered the mountain.
Perhaps it wasn't that they didn't chase after him, but rather that they couldn't get in at all, which gave Mingyu a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, by now, the grass on Mingyu's grave would probably be incredibly tall.
Jiang Bai chuckled and hurried towards Jiangjia Village.
-----------------
The capital city, the Prince Xin's residence.
Prince Xin sat in his study, his brush moving rapidly, and characters leaping onto the paper from the tip.
His brows were furrowed, and his expression was serious.
He was the only one in the study; even the guards had all left.
After a long while, he put down his pen, picked up the still-wet paper, and studied it word by word. When he read a certain passage, his furrowed brows showed a thoughtful expression.
"When the Wang family's assassins tried to capture Jiang Lu and her brother, Jiang Bai sent Yu Shang to rescue them?"
His hand landed on the paper, not caring even if it got stained with ink.
"With Jiang Bai's strength, a few Wang family assassins are no match for her at all. Why does she need Yu Shang to rescue her?"
He tapped his knuckles on the table, completely baffled.
He placed the information about Jiang Bai gathered by his secret guards on the table and analyzed it bit by bit. He discovered a detail that he hadn't noticed when he was reading the book.
Why does Jiang Bai always break people's arms and legs when he makes a move?
Does she have some kind of unusual fetish?
But it doesn't look like it.
If that's not the case, could it be that she has a reason to break someone's arms and legs?
His thoughts wandered, and he thought of the soldiers who had gone to track down Jiang Bai.
These people caught up with Jiang Bai, but she broke their arms and legs in the end, and they are still lying in bed recuperating.
With her strength, killing these people would be a piece of cake.
Surely it couldn't be that she was too kind-hearted to kill someone?
Upon realizing this reason, the Crown Prince himself chuckled, but he quickly suppressed his laughter.
"Knock knock"
"Come in."
"Young Master, news of Xu Chuan."
A guard entered and presented a letter.
The Crown Prince of Xin took it, quickly glanced at it, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Ming Yu is really audacious. Is he openly rebelling? He even dares to kill the angel who delivers the imperial decree."
He was still somewhat surprised.
Mingyu is merely one of the provinces. Even if it finds the secret treasure left by the eldest princess, how can it contend with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court?
Does he think that rebellion is child's play, something that can be accomplished with just a few soldiers?
Thinking of this, even the Crown Prince of Xin smiled.
"Since he's so bold, let's pass this message on to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. I'm sure they'll be very happy."
This can be used as an opportunity to send troops to eliminate the formidable enemy, the Third Prince.
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince's expression darkened.
The emperor ordered the third prince, Prince An, to be demoted to a commoner, but he did not touch Consort Jia or the Yang family. For a moment, he couldn't understand what the emperor's attitude was towards the third prince.
Besides this letter, there is another one underneath.
"Hmm? Jiang Bai went to Chongyu Pass?"
"Wherever they went, all the elite barbarian soldiers were killed?"
The Crown Prince of Xin frowned, waved away the guards, and sat down in a chair to think.
Was his initial line of thinking wrong?
He carefully recalled the plot of the book, and it seemed that whenever Jiang Bai made a move that resulted in casualties, it was always when there were people around her.
