After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Bai Nanzhu said proudly: "You don't know this, right? Some people die with unfulfilled wishes and are unwilling to go to the underworld to reincarnate, so they naturally become wandering ghosts."

Bai Nanzhu lowered his voice again and whispered in my ear: "Too many people have died in the imperial city recently. I guess the underworld is too busy to handle it, so there are so many ghosts running out."

Although Bai Nanzhu rarely left the imperial mausoleum, informants would always report to him about the situation outside. He looked aloof and cold, but in fact, he was a man who was extremely fame-seeking and knew every little thing in the government and the public.

I nodded and said, "Mr. Bai is absolutely right. The imperial city has indeed been in turmoil recently, especially with the massacre by the Wei River. There are so many wronged souls that they have formed a group."

Bai Nanzhu asked in a low voice: "Sir, can you see ghosts?"

I nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise why would His Majesty trust me so much?"

Bai Nanzhu inadvertently glanced at the gold medal on my neck. Although it was just a glance, the resentment and jealousy in his eyes were clearly revealed.

I saw Bai Nanzhu dragging his feet and I didn't know what he was going to do. The weather was cold and it would get dark very early. If he kept dragging his feet like this, he would probably be trapped in these mountains and wouldn't be able to return to the imperial city.

Moreover, Bai Nanzhu is so greedy that he is definitely capable of killing people and stealing goods.

I had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Bai, why did you call me out just now?"

Bai Nanzhu seemed to remember this at this time, and said mysteriously: "Aren't you asking who Bai Qianqian is? I'll take you to see and you'll know."

I don't think things are that simple. He first took me around the imperial mausoleum, then pointed out the soul-calming stone to me, and finally deliberately talked about the imperial city. It seemed weird no matter how I looked at it.

After Bai Nanzhu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the woods without waiting for my reply.

The four imperial guards stood there like wooden men, motionless. We left without even glancing at them.

I followed Bai Nanzhu and walked a long way, but Bai Nanzhu never told me where he was taking me.

By this time the sun was already setting and it looked like it would soon be dark.

Su Bowen's soul had been jumping in his sleeves. If the restrictions in the imperial mausoleum had not been too severe, he would have jumped out long ago.

I quickly took out the porcelain bottle and put it to my ear.

Su Bowen's urgent voice sounded in his ears: "I don't think that old man is a good person. Don't go with him."

I lowered my voice and said, "How can you tell if someone is a good person by hiding in a bottle? You should pay more attention to where the cave is. Once you find it, we can get down the mountain earlier."

As soon as I finished speaking, Bai Nanzhu suddenly turned around and asked me, "Are you talking to me, sir?"

I quickly hid the porcelain bottle back into my sleeve, shook my head and said, "No, I usually like to talk to myself, please don't be offended, Mr. Bai."

Bai Nanzhu nodded in understanding and continued walking forward.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on. The snow had already reached my heels, and in many places it had even reached my knees. I followed Bai Xiannanzhu, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I was panting.

In contrast, Bai Nanzhu walked as if on flat ground, easily and freely.

We had walked deep into the woods. I looked ahead at the vast expanse of white and could not see a single grave mound. I stopped and refused to take another step forward.

Bai Nanzhu seemed to have eyes behind him. He noticed me when I stopped and turned around to ask, "Why don't you leave?"

The lower half of my cloak was soaked. It was so thick and heavy that when I walked it felt like I was carrying a mountain on my back. It was very tiring.

Bai Nanzhu, however, was wearing a short outfit, with only a tiger-skin short jacket on his upper body, which made him look much more relaxed than me.

I shook my head and said, "We are far away from the imperial mausoleum. Without the protection of the imperial mausoleum, it is very dangerous for us to blindly enter the mountains like this. Where are you taking me?"

Bai Nanzhu suddenly grinned, and his laugh sounded like an eagle's weird cry, hehehe, very unpleasant to the ear.

I kind of regret leaving Zhang San and Li Si to Yi Ping to serve as a front. There is no one around to protect them.

Bai Nanzhu laughed strangely and said, "Where are we going? To the underworld."

"Go to the underworld?" I frowned. Is this old man crazy? Why is he talking so crazy?

Bai Nanzhu took out a bell as thick as a bowl from his sleeve, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "Sir, come with me."

I looked at Bai Zhunan who was like a madman. I didn't want to pay attention to him, but the porcelain bottle in my sleeve was shaking wildly. I pretended to cover my ears and put the porcelain bottle against my ears. I only heard Su Bowen hurriedly say: "This old man is very bad. He wants to seduce you."

Seduce me?

What is there about me that is worthy of his charm? The black bead? The old man doesn't know that I have a black bead in my body.

Just as I was daydreaming, Bai Zhunan thought I was distracted, his face turned serious, and he said seriously: "You, go and get me that soul-calming stone."

I rolled my eyes. The entrance to the imperial mausoleum was guarded by four tall and mighty imperial guards holding spears and looking like they would kill any Buddha or god they met. You want me to get the soul-calming stone? Are you seriously ill?

I simply ignored him and turned away.

In Bai Nanzhu's opinion, I looked like I was bewitched, well-behaved and obedient.

Before I had taken a few steps, I saw Captain Chen and Cheng Kai, along with a few of their men, riding horses and running hurriedly towards us.

When Captain Chen saw me, he waved his hands happily and shouted, "Here, Lord Zhao is really here."

They soon arrived in front of me. Cheng Kai jumped off his horse and said to me with a stern face, "There are often wild beasts in this deep forest. If something happens to you, how can we explain it to His Majesty?"

Captain Chen also jumped off his horse and walked up to me. He was not as serious as Cheng Kai. Seeing that I was fine, he said happily, "I saw that it was getting late, so I wanted to go to Mr. Bai's room to look for you. I didn't expect that both you and Mr. Bai were not in the room. I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, I found you."

Captain Chen glanced at Bai Nanzhu behind me and asked in confusion, "Why did you two come to this forest? It's getting dark, Lord Zhao, we need to get down the mountain as soon as possible."

I turned around and pointed at Bai Nanzhu and said, "He asked me to get the Soul Calming Stone."

Bai Nanzhu wants to harm me. Although I don’t know what his purpose is, I must not let such a person go.

Now that help has arrived, it’s just the right time to deal with him.

After I said that, I turned around and walked away without stopping.

The porcelain bottle bounced up and down in my sleeve like a pinball. I quickly put the bottle to my ear. Su Bowen said excitedly: "My God, his charm didn't work on you."

I gritted my teeth and said, "Don't jump up and down. If Bai Nanzhu knew that I wasn't bewitched, we would meet in the underworld."

Cheng Kai looked at Bai Nanzhu thoughtfully and asked, "Mr. Bai, why did you ask Lord Zhao to get the Soul Calming Stone?"

Bai Nanzhu was a little confused as he watched me leave. I was bewitched. Logically, I could only do things according to his instructions. He didn't let me reply, so why could I respond to others automatically?
