Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the faces of the four people. Tian Zhenzhen, Xiong Tutu, Yi Lei and Mingzhe walked back with satisfaction, carrying a full harvest. The lights on the street gradually lit up, adding a bit of warmth to this busy city.

However, deep in the Prince Jin's Mansion, an undercurrent is quietly surging, and a huge storm is about to rise.

In the Prince of Liang's mansion - when Prince Liang heard that his carefully planned schemes had failed one after another, his face turned blue with anger, but the corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly, revealing a cold smile. He knew very well that in order to win the power struggle, he had to firmly control the key chess piece, Xiong Tutu. He made up his mind to strike decisively.

"Someone come!" King Liang shouted with a cold tone and unquestionable majesty.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed in front of him like a ghost, lowered his head respectfully, and waited for King Liang to give orders.

"Starting today, closely monitor Xiong Tutu's every move. She is a key figure in our plan. Report any abnormal situation to me immediately." King Liang's voice was low and cold, with unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The man took the order and retreated quickly.

At the same time, Mingzhe and Yilei walked side by side, chatting and laughing, but Mingzhe's eyes were inadvertently attracted by an inconspicuous corner. He stopped and gently pulled Yilei's sleeve, suggesting that he look in that direction. Yilei understood and looked in the direction of Mingzhe's sight. Sure enough, he saw a strange man watching them furtively, especially Xiong Tutu.

Yi Lei's heart tightened, his brows slightly frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"That man is a little weird," Mingzhe said in a low voice, with a hint of caution in his tone, "We need to be more careful."

Yi Lei nodded silently, indicating his agreement. The two exchanged glances and instantly reached a consensus: to quietly protect Xiong Tutu's safety in the dark. After returning to the Jin Palace, Tian Zhenzhen and Xiong Tutu were still happily talking about their gains today, completely unaware of the potential danger. Mingzhe and Yi Lei stood quietly by, paying close attention to the slightest movement around them.

At this moment, Yi Lei keenly noticed that there was a suspicious figure pacing back and forth outside the mansion gate, as if spying on their every word and action. This discovery immediately made his nerves tense, and he secretly speculated on the other party's intentions and purposes, but on the surface he remained calm.

"It seems that King Liang has already started to act." Yi Lei whispered to Mingzhe.

Mingzhe nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "We must protect Xiong Tutu and not let King Liang's conspiracy succeed."

After safely sending Tian Zhenzhen back to the Tian Mansion, Yi Lei also reminded her not to leave the house casually recently, and to send someone to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to find him if there was anything.

In the dead of night, Yi Lei instructed Fu Lu Shou to quietly watch outside Xiong Tu Tu's room to ensure her safety. The three of them took turns to keep watch, vigilantly watching everything around them, not daring to slack off, always keeping a high level of vigilance, and paying close attention to any disturbances around them.

----------------------------

The next morning, the spies sent by King Liang were still hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to spy on Xiong Tutu's every word and action. However, Mingzhe and Yilei used various strategies to mislead the other party, making it difficult for them to see the real situation. After hearing the intelligence reported by the surveillance, King Liang became more and more anxious. He knew that time was running out and he had to speed up the plan.

King Liang sent people pretending to be merchants to approach Xiong Tutu in an attempt to lure her into a trap. However, Mingzhe and Yilei had already seen through King Liang's conspiracy and made preparations in advance.

When Xiong Tutu was led by the vendor to a remote alley, Mingzhe and Yilei suddenly appeared and quickly subdued the vendor. In the alley, under the dim light, the vendor looked at them in horror, sweating profusely.

"Go back and tell your master that if it happens again you will have to bear the consequences!" Yi Lei said coldly, his voice piercing into the merchant's heart.

The vendor looked at them in horror, knowing that he had been exposed, and quickly begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, I'm just following orders!"

Mingzhe said coldly: "When you go back and report, tell them that we already know about the conspiracy. If you dare to touch Xiong Tutu again, we will never let you off easily!"

The vendor nodded repeatedly and fled away in a panic, stumbling as if the gates of hell were right behind him.

Xiong Tutu said carelessly: "I can beat these guys away. Do I need to be so careful? Yilei, why have you become weaker after coming down from Yunxiao Mountain?"

Yi Lei was speechless after hearing this. "Please... this matter is not that simple. Anyway, you must be vigilant now. I will arrange people to protect you secretly. Don't worry."

Mingzhe smiled and patted her shoulder, his eyes firm and warm, "Tutu, don't worry, with us here, these conspiracies will never succeed."

However, the King of Liang's plan did not end there. He returned to his palace, calmly analyzed the reasons for his failure, and decided to make a more thorough plan. He knew that this power struggle had just begun, and the real battle was still to come.

In the following days, Mingzhe and Yilei became more vigilant and kept an eye on the actions of King Liang. However, King Liang was not an easy man to deal with, and his plans gradually escalated, becoming more complicated and unpredictable. Moreover, he had the support of Concubine Xue's family behind him, giving him advice.

One morning, Mingzhe and Yilei overheard a group of vendors talking in the street. They mentioned that many unfamiliar faces had recently appeared near the Prince of Jin's mansion, and they seemed to be asking about some important person. The two looked at each other, and their hearts were alarmed. They realized that the Prince of Liang might have laid a bigger net to catch Xiong Tutu in one fell swoop.

"We can't wait passively any longer," Mingzhe frowned and said, with a flash of determination in his eyes, "We must take the initiative and find the weakness of King Liang."

Yi Lei nodded in agreement, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit, "Yes, this is the only way to completely destroy his conspiracy."

So, the two decided to act separately. Mingzhe was responsible for continuing to protect Xiong Tutu, while Yilei began to secretly investigate the movements of King Liang. They knew that this was a contest of intelligence and courage, and if they were not careful, they would lose everything.

In this world full of conspiracy and danger, every step Mingzhe and Yilei take is like walking on thin ice, but they have a firm belief in their hearts: no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, they will protect Xiong Tutu until the moment of victory.
