Hua Qingcheng walked lightly and silently to the entrance of the mine. She observed her surroundings vigilantly, using the cover of darkness to dodge left and right, her figure moving nimbly through the mine.
However, just as Hua Qingcheng was about to reach the agreed meeting place, she suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps. Although the sound was faint, it was particularly clear in the quiet night. Hua Qingcheng's heart suddenly surged with an ominous premonition. She immediately stopped and quickly hid behind a huge rock.
A moment later, Gong Yanan and a few others slowly approached. Her face was gloomy, revealing a sinister air. It was clear that this woman was searching for something or someone.
Hua Qingcheng then held her breath and observed their every move calmly.
Gong Yanan and her group stopped at the entrance of the mine. She lowered her head and stared at the ground thoughtfully, her eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, as if she could see where the target was hidden in the darkness.
Seeing this, Hua Qingcheng quickly adjusted her breathing and tried to minimize her presence. However, seeing Gong Yanan and the others approaching her, just as Hua Qingcheng was about to enter the space again for shelter, a warm hand gently rested on her shoulder.
The touch of that hand was so familiar that a surge of joy welled up in Hua Qingcheng's heart. She turned around and saw Mu Lige's handsome face. The man's eyes revealed concern and tenderness, which warmed Hua Qingcheng's heart.
Mu Lige put his finger to his lips, made a gesture of silence, and then whispered to Hua Qingcheng: "Qingqing, don't make a sound, come with me." His voice was low and very magnetic, and inexplicably had a charm that calmed people's souls.
Hua Qingcheng nodded, and the two of them left the mine entrance quietly with their agility.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Lige unexpectedly lifted Hua Qingcheng up by the waist. His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation. Then, his feet moved like the wind, displaying his superb Qinggong skills. Like a ghost, he flew away at an astonishing speed.
Mu Lige's martial arts skills were astonishing. The two of them darted through the forest, as fast as a flash of lightning across the sky, leaving no time to catch them. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the dense forest.
"Brother Li, where are Xiaobai and Hongfu?" Hua Qingcheng hugged Mu Lige's neck tightly, letting the man carry her flying in the air.
Mu Lige displayed extraordinary martial arts skills, maintaining a steady breath even at such high speeds. Hearing Hua Qingcheng's question, he softly replied, "After learning that you were safe, I had them hide in the shadows and closely monitor their every move. I just roughly estimated that there are around four to five hundred miners here."
"Their leader is actually a bandit, and it seems she has some connection to the deceased Wang Zhenyi. If we can capture her, the secrets behind this mine may be revealed, and the mastermind will be exposed. We might as well return to town, strike while the iron is hot, mobilize our forces, and then surprise them."
Mu Lige successfully collected a large amount of important information in such a short time. While discussing his own views with Hua Qingcheng, he also made corresponding suggestions.
Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but give Mu Lige a thumbs-up, praising him sincerely, "As expected of His Royal Highness, the former Emperor's eldest grandson, who was as dazzling as a star. I deeply admire his reaction and ability to handle things!"
Mu Lige, who was holding Hua Qingcheng at this time, couldn't help but laugh softly. He suddenly lowered his head and quickly kissed Hua Qingcheng on the lips. Then he continued to fly forward as if nothing had happened, as if the person who had just secretly kissed the person in his arms was not him.
Hua Qingcheng gently caressed her lips, where Mu Lige's scent still seemed to linger. Her lips curled up slightly as she looked at her doctor's infuriatingly handsome face, and a hint of sweetness rose in her heart.
However, good times are always short-lived, and soon they arrived at the mountain temple they had passed before.
Mounting on the Xiangyun horses, Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige left Wuji Mountain as quickly as a gust of wind and galloped towards the general's mansion in Ruoshui Town.
The bright moonlight poured down like a silver thread, as if covering the silent night with a thin layer of silver gauze, hazy and beautiful, like a dream.
Along the way, all they could hear was the whistling of the wind and the galloping of Xiangyun Horse, raising clouds of dust wherever they passed. The two of them, clinging to each other on horseback, seemed like a perfect match made in heaven, forming a beautiful picture in the quiet night, as if they were the most beautiful scenery under the lonely night sky.
When they arrived at the general's residence in Ruoshui Town, Hua Qingcheng didn't hesitate at all. She immediately took out her princess badge and resolutely stepped into the residence. Under the guidance of a soldier, she came to the courtyard where the general of Ruoshui Town crossed the river.
"General! General! General..." An anxious soldier walked quickly to the door of the room across the river and knocked on it hard.
At this moment, Guo Jiang was curled up in the warm and comfortable bed, immersed in a sweet dream. The rapid knock on the door woke her up from her sweet dream.
Guo Jiang rubbed his sleepy eyes, and with a puzzled and dissatisfied look on his face, he shouted to the outside of the door, "Why are you so flustered?"
Because the situation was urgent, Hua Qingcheng rushed into the room without delay. She held the princess's waist badge and the tiger talisman that Nalan Yunzhi had given her, which could mobilize troops, in her hands, and waved them in front of Guo Jiang.
