Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

After the two walked forward for about ten minutes, a dark cave as big as a room suddenly appeared in front of them. At the same time, the sound of several men talking came out of the cave.

Su Luoxue and Xuan Moyin did not dare to take it lightly. They approached the dark cave slowly and quietly. Just when they were about to reach the cave entrance, they flashed into the space.

At this time, a man in the cave seemed to be aware of something. He turned to look at another person beside him and whispered, "Old Third, I feel like there is something strange going on. Didn't the young lady go upstairs just now? Why don't you go over and check the situation?"

The man called Lao San grabbed a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth, then stood up slowly. He walked towards the direction where Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue came from, while mumbling incoherently: "Brother, you are too cautious and nervous! How could anyone come to this place? Even if someone really breaks in, we can just escape directly to the outside of the city through this secret passage."

He walked to the front and looked around for a while, then turned back, muttering, "Brother, there's nothing."

The other man was holding a half-eaten snack in his hand. He was chewing the food while mumbling incoherently, "That's right, brother. It's so hidden underground, it's impossible for others to find it so easily! You are too worried and nervous."

Hearing this, the leading man's face turned serious. He put down the teacup in his hand and said to the second brother seriously: "Second brother, have you forgotten that we were discovered last time and chased all the way out of the city? Now we are being watched closely by the regent of Yuan Kingdom! So we must be very cautious. Thanks to this tunnel as a cover, otherwise, I am afraid we would have fallen into the hands of the regent long ago!"

The second brother nodded in agreement after hearing what the eldest brother said. The third brother on the side quickly agreed, "Yes, what the eldest brother said is absolutely right."

At this time, the eldest brother sighed and continued, "Alas, if the weather wasn't so unbearably cold, and if I hadn't heard that the food relief site would distribute something called 'warm packs' that could protect against the severe cold, I would definitely not have let my brothers risk running out."

The third brother nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and interrupted with a smile: "Hehehe, but brother, this Yuan country's warm baby is really magical! I put it on my body and immediately felt warm and comfortable!"

At this moment, Xuan Moyin, who was in the space, heard the conversation of the three people clearly. He thought to himself: "As expected! These three people are the spies of the Northern Liang Kingdom that we tracked down in the mountains but failed to capture. They are also the group of people whose secret guards lost their traces yesterday."

"It seems that they seem to have other exits. We must not let them escape!" Su Luoxue analyzed calmly.

Xuan Moyin nodded slightly to show his agreement. So, the two of them took advantage of this magical space and passed through the dark hole without anyone noticing, and continued to explore in the dark passage.

Not far from the dark cave, two winding, deep and dark dark passages appeared in front of them. Faced with this sudden fork in the road, the two thought for a while, and then resolutely chose one of the roads and walked forward without hesitation.

As time went by, they seemed to be in an endless dark abyss, and could only rely on the firm belief in their hearts to silently persevere. Finally, a faint light appeared in front of them, like the light before dawn, bringing new hope to the exhausted them. So, the two of them cheered up and quickened their pace to run towards the light.

When they reached the entrance of the secret passage, Xuan Moyin took a closer look and was shocked - this was indeed the mountain they had been to last time! However, what surprised him was that the entrance to the cave was so deep that ordinary people would find it difficult to detect its existence if they were not familiar with the environment or had some prior knowledge of it. When did these Beiliang people start planning and preparing? They were able to dig a tunnel from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the mountain outside the city without anyone noticing! And did Lord Su, the Prime Minister, know about this?

Xuan Moyin had many questions in his mind, but he couldn't think too much at this moment. He quickly released a flare and left a special mark at the entrance of the tunnel as a guide, then turned back with Su Luoxue to find another possible exit.

Su Luoxue knew that Xuan Moyin had just informed his people, so she didn't say much and followed him back. When they came to a fork in the road, they went to another secret passage. This passage was much closer, and they arrived at the entrance of the tunnel in a short while. Sure enough, this was the place where the three people disappeared yesterday. Similarly, Xuan Moyin also called people to guard here.

It was almost noon, Xuan Moyin did not delay and immediately notified Lord Pei Yuanpei of Jingzhao Prefecture, together with the guards of the Regent Palace, and they quickly rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion and had people surround the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately. Of course, Xuan Moyin also had people report to Xuan Jingyu after half an hour. Why did he delay for only an hour? Of course, he knew that Prime Minister Su was Xuan Jingyu's confidant, and with the crown prince, he didn't want to cause trouble. Half an hour was enough for him to catch the three Beiliang spies.

Prime Minister Su was having lunch with the old lady in Anshou Hall. The old lady had not been in good health and had only recently gotten better after being treated by the imperial physician.

The mother and son were eating and talking when they saw the housekeeper Su Quan staggering in, panting and looking panicked, "Master, it's not good, it's not good."

Prime Minister Su looked at Su Quan's unruly behavior and said unhappily: "What's wrong? Tell me slowly."

But Su Quan didn't have time to speak slowly: "Master, the Regent brought Lord Pei from Jingzhao Prefecture to surround our Prime Minister's Mansion, and they didn't say why, and now they are heading straight to Aunt Zhao's Ningcui Pavilion."

"What? Is there an imperial edict from the emperor?" Prime Minister Su stood up and asked.

"No, no. I asked, and the Regent said that the imperial edict will arrive soon." Su Quan replied quickly.

"Hmph, that's all. What does the Regent want to do?" After saying that, Prime Minister Su walked out angrily, and Su Quan hurriedly followed behind him.

"Madame Zhou, do you think everything will be alright?" The old lady asked Madame Zhou beside her as she watched her son leave in a hurry.

“Madam, our master is a high-ranking official in the court. The emperor hasn’t issued an edict. No matter how powerful the regent is, he dare not do anything to the master! Besides, the regent and the eldest daughter are already engaged, and our prime minister’s mansion is considered an in-law of the regent’s mansion. Nothing will happen.” Madam Zhou comforted the old lady.

"That's good, that's good." The old lady also said to herself.
