Shi Jun put the chicken leg in Xu Mian's hand, "Mian Mian, eat it while it's hot."

He poured another cup of tea and held it. After Xu Mian swallowed a chicken leg, he regained some energy.

Climbing the snowy mountain was not fun at all. He almost lost his life there.

"Drink some tea to moisten your body."

Now that he didn't even have to hold the teacup himself, Xu Mian had to admit that Shi Jun's sense of service was really good.

Look, the other chicken leg was already in her hand. When Xu Mian thought of bleeding from his wrist, she couldn't bear it and stuffed it back into his hand.

"You eat it. I don't want to eat it anymore."

Shi Jun put down the chicken leg and picked up a piece of roasted pig's trotter, "Mian Mian, eat this."

This spirit of dedication made Xu Mian feel extremely guilty for wanting to kick him at any time, and she would become irritable when she felt guilty.

"I can eat by myself, you eat yours, don't worry about me."

She grabbed the roasted pig's trotters, which were so hot that she dropped them back into the plate as soon as she grabbed them.

Shi Jun coaxed her, "Mianmian, just eat this piece, it's not hot anymore."

He blew on it and put it to her mouth, but he didn't eat a single bite, and he actually took care of her. Even her own father had never been so attentive to her since she was a child.

Xu Mian's eyes were red. After eating the meat in her mouth, she couldn't help but lean on his shoulder and choked up:

"You did this on purpose because you know that I am soft-hearted and cry easily?"

Shi Jun stroked her head and said apologetically: "You used to be the Crown Princess, and everyone treated you like a star. Now that I have kidnapped you, I will do my best to give you the best."

Xu Mian's mind was confused. It was indeed wrong to kidnap someone. She should have hated this person very much, but she felt a lot of pity for him.

"Then you eat too, and replenish your blood."

"Okay, Mian Mian, don't cry anymore."

The two of them took a bite at a time.

After a while, Xu Mian looked down and saw that her belly was bulging with food. She laughed embarrassedly.

Shi Jun used a brocade handkerchief to wipe the oil circles on her lips. He was so gentle that Xu Mian felt that she was trapped in this magic circle.

"Mian Mian, just make do with it tonight. Tomorrow I will have someone decorate the house. You will definitely like it."

He picked her up and went into the room.

Xu Mian saw a large but simple house, with the most books on the bookshelf. There

was a big table with many written words and paintings on it.

This was where Shi Jun studied and lived. Xu Mian resolved the embarrassment and said, "It's pretty good, spacious and bright."

It's easiest to fall asleep after a good meal.

Shi Jun walked around the room and came back to see that she was already fast asleep. He

uncovered the quilt and covered it, then lay down and patted the quilt.

Waiting for it to get dark, he wanted to go check out a place.

Outside the bamboo garden, a servant was hunched over and wiping the pillars in the corridor. A servant came over and said, "Ergou, you haven't finished yet?"

"I'll be done soon."

He picked up the basin and rag and walked away, looking back at the bamboo garden. A pair of bright eyes under his hat seemed to say: Shi Jun, at night, you will get a surprise.

Shi Jun squinted for a while, tucked the quilt for Xu Mian, quietly went out, and went to the back of the bamboo garden.

This place is actually behind the bamboo garden's private room, and it is a special study.

The decoration is not luxurious, but very simple, and there are many books.

In the past, this place was locked, and only when Pei Qing came here, he would report his studies to him, and he would kneel here to be whipped.

After kneeling many times, he discovered some clues with his intelligence.

For example, when he opened a painting and pulled out a brick, the wall on the side immediately flipped over and he could enter another place.

When he was fifteen years old, he escaped the spies in the mansion and entered the secret room here at night while Pei Qing was away.

One of the important reasons why he chose to come to Jiangzhou before going to his fiefdom was because of this secret room.

Because there are a lot of treasures in this secret room, it is Pei Qing's treasury.

Pei Qing pretended to be an honest official with clean hands on the surface, but he was actually extremely greedy. In order to avoid being discovered by the court, he kept transporting the treasures he received here for storage. The amount of treasures was unimaginable.

Shi Jun planned to use these treasures to recruit soldiers, buy horses and weapons, so that he could compete with the imperial power and Shi Yan.

When he went in, a man followed him, the ugly servant.

He was not someone else, but Pei Yu, who had come to Jiangzhou half a month ago. He

also found this underground treasure room according to Pei Qing's hint. He was more certain that if Pei Qing and the fake prince failed in their rebellion, the fake prince might flee here, because he often saw his father sending and receiving pigeons to this house since he was a child.

At that time, he suspected that it was an illegitimate child raised by his father outside. When he knew that the prince in the palace was fake, he suddenly realized that his father had been raising a pawn for usurping the throne for so many years.

And for the past half month, apart from pretending to be a servant during the day, he has been secretly burying explosives in the secret room at night.

Shi Jun, you traitor, damn you!

Maybe he transferred his hatred for his father to Shi Jun. He was a top scholar in the imperial examination and could have risen to a high position, but he was implicated by Pei Qing's rebellion and became a wanted criminal on the run.

Shi Jun felt something was wrong just after he went down two steps, and hurriedly retreated, but the revolving door suddenly closed.

Oh no, is he locked up here?

Shi Jun guessed that there might be hidden weapons here, and did not move forward. Fortunately, he had designed an escape route and used a dagger to pry open the other wall.

Pei Yu listened outside the door, but did not hear any explosions. He thought Shi Jun had discovered something.

He also seemed to hear the sound of a sharp object chiseling the wall. If he stayed, he would be discovered. Shi Jun was a martial arts expert, and Pei Yu was powerless, so he left quickly. It

took Shi Jun half an hour to finally chisel open a wall that had been loosened from previous decoration, and finally returned to the study safely.

He looked around with a dagger, and observed the ground to see if there were any footprints, but did not find anything unusual.

He took a few stacks of books back to the secret room, and threw a book down from the stairs.

The moment the book fell, there was a sudden explosion in the middle, and the wooden boxes containing jewelry next to it were blown away.

After throwing a few more books and exploding in several places, peace was restored.

This study room was right next to the private room. Xu Mian was half asleep and heard some noise. When she woke up, she was startled to find it was pitch black. She was so scared that

she shouted, "Shijun, Shijun, where are you?"

The room was pitch black. Xu Mian got off the bed and groped her way to the door.

She opened the door and called, "Shijun, Shijun."

She was so scared that her legs were shaking and she cried softly in a hurry. She didn't even dare to cry too loudly for fear of attracting something scary.

"Where have you been, Shijun? Woohoo... "

In the dark, Pei Yu saw Xu Mian crying in the yard with a pillow in her arms, and he was filled with emotion.

Mianmian, it was because you gave me a hint in the letter that I escaped and saved my life.

Don't worry, I will definitely kill Shi Jun and rescue you.

He couldn't go forward to comfort Xu Mian, so he could only watch from the dark.

Shi Jun seemed to hear Xu Mian's cry in the study room, and hurriedly closed the study door and ran to the closet.
