Hua Wuxin didn't know what had just happened. He had suggested sitting down to stretch his muscles and prepare himself mentally before going down. Wang Ruo had agreed, but before he could react, he was whisked away. If it weren't for his strong desire to survive, he would have ended up drinking soup on the Naihe Bridge.
Hua Wuxin calmed himself down and lay limp at the cave entrance for a long time before slowly standing up, holding onto the cliff wall. He said with a pale face, "It looks like this is a mine. I don't know if there's another cave or a dead end at the end."
"I don't know either. Prepare the night pearl and the fire starter and go in to take a look." As soon as the voice fell, Wang Ruo didn't care how weak Hua Wuxin was now, and strode inside.
Hua Wuxin originally wanted to take a break before catching up quickly, but when he subconsciously touched his body and found that the fire was gone, he didn't care about anything else. All of a sudden, his waist and legs were no longer sore, and he felt alive again.
After Wang Ruo and the other two jumped off the cliff, Li Xinzhai and the secret guards in the dark immediately ran out. When they looked out, they saw nothing but the pitch-black abyss.
The secret guard was at a loss for words and asked with a trembling voice, "...Should I inform you?"
Li Xinzhai said solemnly, "Don't say anything yet. Have someone wait here carefully for a few days and prepare ropes in advance. If there is still no response after three days, send someone down to search."
"clear."
The situation in Qinghe County wasn't optimistic either. Ever since Lin Feng revealed the album's true identity, Qinglong Village, which had been able to function normally, was suddenly surrounded by government officials. They were under the guise of protection, but in reality, they were worried that they might tip off Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming and Qinghe, who had noticed something was wrong earlier, quietly left the city through the extensive tunnels under the princess's mansion, leaving behind only an ownerless mansion.
After Qinghe and Ouyang Ming left the county town, they had been hiding in a dock not too far from the city, which was now managed by Wang Fengjiao.
After Wang Fengjiao returned from outside, he confirmed again and again that he was not being followed, and then he returned to the dock cautiously. Qinghe saw him coming back and hurriedly asked anxiously, "What's the situation in Qinghe County?"
Wang Fengjiao shook her head solemnly and said, "Tianshu Tower has ordered the Imperial Guards to blockade Qinghe County City. I just received news that Lin Feng seems to be someone planted by Tianshu Tower in the Qinghe County government office."
When Qing He heard Lin Feng's name mentioned together with Tianshu Tower, his face was filled with disbelief: "Who were you talking about just now, Lin Feng?"
Wang Fengjiao sighed slightly and explained, "When we first heard the news, we didn't believe it either. But Lao Cui, one of his men, was killed by him personally in front of everyone."
Ouyang Ming, who remained calm and composed, analyzed, "The current situation wasn't created overnight by Tianshu Tower. I wonder when they started planning this."
Qinghe was so angry that he couldn't help pacing around the room: "I told you long ago that we couldn't stay in Tianshu Tower. Now we have raised a tiger and it has become a disaster. Who can we blame?"
Ouyang Ming said, "There's a connection between Tianshu Tower and Nanyue. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. I just don't know what's happening with Qingliang Valley right now."
Wang Fengjiao replied, "There's been no news from Qingliang Valley yet. The South Vietnamese army is currently stationed in a small town due to the weather, and they don't seem to be planning to withdraw anytime soon."
When Tang Chen and the others were still here, Yan Shaoqing was the only one in charge of Qingliang Valley. He didn't know whether the rumor that they were besieged by the South Vietnamese was true or not, and whether they were safe at the moment. "Old Wang, how many people do we have now?"
Wang Fengjiao counted on her fingers as she spoke, "If we don't count the Canal Transport Alliance, just our family alone, there are at least three or four hundred people. However, most of them are scattered all over the place, so it will take some time to gather them together."
Three or four hundred people, if we were talking about a Jianghu sect or chamber of commerce, would be considered quite large. But if used in such a turbulent time, it would not be very effective. Therefore, Qinghe continued to ask, "What about the Canal Transport Alliance?"
Wang Fengjiao said uncertainly, "There are probably around a thousand people in total."
Qinghe said with a headache: "It seems that it is not of much use."
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."
Qinghe noticed that Ouyang Ming had been very calm today. Could it be that he had come up with a good solution to his current predicament these days? "Do you have an idea?"
Ouyang Ming smiled faintly and said, "You'll know when the time comes. By the way, do you plan to stay here or go to Qingliang Valley?"
Qinghe pondered this inwardly and said, "Going to Qingliang Valley might not be of much help, so it's better to stay. With the help of the brothers in the canal transport, I can get some information. What I'm most worried about right now is Shuyang. I don't know where he went and why he hasn't been caught."
Ouyang Ming comforted him, "Relax for now. I think Shu Yang is a man of his own ideas. He must be fine now."
Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief and said coldly, "Xiahou Qing, that old fox, must hide his tail well."
It won't be long before this fox's tail is exposed. After all, at present, to a certain extent, Tianshu Tower controls almost half of the power in Daliang. After all, when people show off, they will always reveal some problems. "Anyway, there's nothing we can do now, so let's wait and see."
Wang Fengjiao had been gathering information outside for the past few days and knew about the current situation of Ouyang Ming and his wife. Qinghe was not only the eldest princess of Daliang, but also the benefactor and boss of these brothers. Now that they were in trouble, their subordinates naturally hoped to be of some assistance. "This place is still too close to Qinghe County. For safety reasons, how about moving to another location?"
Qinghe thought for a moment and then asked Ouyang Ming for his opinion: "What do you think?"
"I have no objection."
As long as Ouyang Ming was with Qinghe, he didn't care even if it meant going through fire and water. He could see that Qinghe was unwilling to leave her fiefdom and was unwilling to watch the people she was supposed to protect being bullied by the people of Tianshu Tower.
After getting Ouyang Ming's opinion, Qinghe instructed Wang Fengjiao, "Okay, then we'll continue to stay near Qinghe County. We'll make plans after we've established contact with Qingliang Valley."
"Understood. I, Wang Fengjiao, will fight to the death to protect the two masters!"
