Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Li Mo finally heard the important point.

He actually sent Zhong Shuihui to protect Yue Qingchen!

Li Mo froze in disbelief, then rode up to catch up, "Zhong Shui is very capable. What if you leave him in the palace and encounter danger in the north?"

"And Aoki." Besides, he knows martial arts himself, so he doesn't have much to fear.

"You are really incompetent." Li Mo said as if he hated iron and steel: "The ninth princess is in the palace and doesn't leave the palace very often. What kind of danger can she encounter? You just put Zhong Shui in the palace like this." Here, if you encounter danger on this road, I think you..."

"Shut up." Yue Qinghe looked at him coldly, "Be quiet."

Li Mo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't listen to me, you will always have something to lose."

He had previously defeated the people of the Bingbei Kingdom on the northern border and was completely defeated.

They have become a thorn in the side of the Arctic Kingdom and a thorn in the flesh.

The North Bing Kingdom is already eyeing him covetously.

This time when I went back to the north, I didn't even bring a few capable helpers with me.

Li Mo felt that he really didn't want to live too long.

Yue Qinghe ignored him and focused his gaze forward.

Seeing this, Li Mo shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his chest.

……

Qingchen led Zhong Shui to the dog hole in Leng Gong and found that the dog hole was blocked.

"Who did this...who did this?" Qingchen stared at the blocked dog hole with anger in his heart.

Zhong Shui touched his neck and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, princess, His Highness asked his subordinates to do this."

"You..." A breath stuck in her heavy chest, and she couldn't utter it or swallow it.

The whole person is really holding back until he is internally injured.

"Then what should we do now?" The dog hole is blocked, how can she get out of the palace?

How did Zhong Shui know that the dog hole that His Highness asked him to block was the one where Princess Ninth wanted to leave the palace?

If he could have known that he would need it one day, he would not have blocked it even if a knife was put to his neck.

He looked at the woman beside him so anxious that his eyes were red. He frowned and said immediately: "Don't worry, don't worry, my subordinate will punch the hole right now."

"Can it still be penetrated?"

"My subordinates didn't use hard stones at that time. They were all blocked with soil. Just dig them." As he said that, he found a wooden stick and started digging directly.

Seeing this, Qingchen also found some tiles to help dig.

Zhong Shui was slightly surprised and said: "Princess, just let one of your subordinates dig it."

"Don't talk nonsense. Dig quickly. If we dig together, we can dig faster."

"……"Fine.

……

As night fell, Yue Qinghe, Li Mo and others checked into a passing inn.

As soon as he entered the inn, he smelled a faint fragrance, which made him frown slightly.

He was wondering where the fragrance came from in such a deserted inn.

"Hey, dear guests, you are tired from the journey. Do you want to stay or have something to eat?" A woman with a voluptuous figure came up to them and walked towards them.

They did not bring too many people, and in order not to attract attention, they disguised themselves as a caravan at this time.

Li Mo stepped forward and said to the woman: "Madam boss, bring us some dishes and some private rooms."

"Okay, the slave family will prepare it for the guests." The landlady said, looking at Yue Qinghe behind Li Mo, showing an intriguing smile.

Aoki arranged for people to feed the horses outside before entering the inn.

Not long after the group sat down, the food was served.

There are other people staying and eating at the inn.

But they were all black clothes, which had to make Yue Qinghe think twice.

Li Mo smelled the food and shook his head at Yue Qinghe, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the food.

He once said this to Yue Qingqian when he was at the Eighth Princess Mansion.

I studied medicine after spending a few years in the north.

This is not a lie to Yue Qingqian, but it is true.

He could tell if there was any poison in the food by smelling it.

Now that there was no problem with the food, Li Mo started to eat it.

After all, after driving so slowly for a day, I was indeed tired and hungry.

But within a few bites of the food, several people suddenly felt something was wrong.

The three of them have deep inner strength, so they won't fall down in one fell swoop.

But the soldiers at the other tables all fainted on the tables.

Seeing this, Yue Qinghe was about to get up, but felt dizzy immediately in his head.

"Your Highness, we have fallen into a trap..." Aoki fainted as soon as he finished speaking.

Li Mo just picked up the sword on the table, but he fell down under the weight of the medicine.

Before Yue Qinghe's vision was swallowed by darkness, he only saw the proprietress walking in front of him with a proud smile.

……

Qingchen saw this inn after dark.

If Zhong Shui hadn't dragged her to change into men's clothes after leaving the palace, she might have caught up with the imperial brother long ago.

As soon as she and Zhong Shui opened the door of the inn, they found corpses everywhere in the inn.

Qingchen's face turned pale with fright, and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

Seeing this, Zhong Shui stepped forward to check the bodies on the ground and found that they were all familiar people.

That was the person Yue Qinghe brought out of Kyoto.

An uneasiness surged in his heart, and he looked at the pale Qing Chen next to him, "Something may have happened to your highness and the others."

Qingchen's heart tightened and she couldn't help but grab Zhong Shui's sleeve, "Then what should we do now?"

Zhong Shui immediately walked out of the inn and went to the courtyard outside.

I saw that in the courtyard were the military rations transported by Yue Qinghe's team.

"Your Highness should not be in fear of his life. The military rations are still there. It proves that those people are not here for money, but for people."

"Then you still say that the emperor's life is not in danger?" This is scary when it comes to people, okay?

"Because all the soldiers were killed, but His Highness was missing. Either His Highness escaped or was captured alive." Zhong Shui looked at the people beside him and paused, wanting to tell her to stay here. He went after it himself, but there were corpses inside, and he was afraid that she wouldn't want to stay here.

"The blood on those soldiers hasn't dried yet. The murder may have just happened not long ago. They shouldn't be able to go far. Shall we catch up together?" Qingchen analyzed it.

Zhong Shui was surprised after hearing this, "I didn't expect the princess to be able to analyze the scene so calmly at this time."

"Don't talk nonsense, let's hurry up and follow the horse's hoof prints." She was afraid that if it was too late, something would really happen to the emperor's brother.

If she does this, she will live with guilt for the rest of her life.

"Okay." Zhong Shui was stunned for a second, but decided to catch up with Qingchen.

……

When Yue Qinghe woke up, she found herself tied to a chair.

"Ah, wake up, that's so fast." came the voice of the innkeeper's wife.

Yue Qinghe raised his eyelids slightly and saw a charming face. The faint fragrance still came from her body, which made him frown.

There must be something wrong with this scent. At this moment, he was so weak that he couldn't muster the strength to break free from the rope around him.

"Who are you?" He did not remember that he had ever seen this woman.

"Long time no see, Your Highness." At this time, the other two men sitting in the room stood up and walked to him.

Yue Qinghe saw their appearance clearly and was not very impressed, "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"Ah, I didn't expect you to be so insignificant? You can't let this handsome young gentleman remember you." The woman stepped forward and put her slender arms directly on Yue Qinghe's shoulders, "Young gentleman, you must remember us clearly. We are from the Xihe Kingdom."
