Shengjing Noble

When Su Lanyin woke up again, she still felt dizzy. She was shivering with cold and forced herself to sit up.

I looked around and realized that I had been thrown into the cave without knowing when.

It seems that these people intend to let her fend for herself.

This is good, since there is no one guarding her, she can go out and investigate.

Su Lanyin walked out holding the wall, and sure enough, there was no sign of any guard at the entrance of the cave.

She took the opportunity to slip out, and then groped her way to the main hall she had been to before.

Because the slaves were working at that time, the guards were almost all at the mine.

Su Lanyin walked forward quietly along the corner of the wall, hiding when she met a patrol. She was so careful all the way and finally reached her destination.

However, there were two guards standing at the entrance of the main hall, which made it a bit tricky.

She observed for a while and found that there was a window next to the main hall, which was probably used for ventilation to avoid feeling stuffy.

The window wasn't big, but she could just fit in.

But if you want to enter through the window, you have to pass by the two guards. Although the distance is far, you can only enter from the front, which makes it easy to be discovered.

We have to find something to distract them.

After thinking about it, Su Lanyin's eyes lit up. She took out the night pearl from her arms and threw it in the other direction when the time was right.

Sure enough, the night pearl that seemed very dazzling underground emitted a strange light, instantly attracting the attention of the two guards.

Regardless of the fact that they were on guard duty, they rushed over to check what was going on.

After discovering it was a night-shining pearl, they immediately started scrambling for it.

It was during this opportunity that Su Lanyin successfully slipped in, and after confirming that there was no one inside, she climbed in through the window.

This room seemed to be a sleeping place. Last time, she and Fu Wuyang were taken to the outer hall.

There was no one in the room, but a lamp was on. In the dim light, the room seemed particularly quiet and eerie.

Su Lanyin looked up and saw various animal heads hanging on the wall. They had their eyes open and looked ferocious and terrifying.

She didn't dare to look at him, she held her dizzy head, walked towards the cupboard, opened the door and rummaged around, finally finding some commonly used pills.

After confirming the efficacy, she quickly took it and breathed a sigh of relief.

If the fever doesn't go away and there's no medicine to take, she will only get weaker and weaker, and eventually die.

It's funny that she was a disciple of a famous miracle doctor but ended up dying of illness.

After drinking a sip of warm water, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her head didn't hurt as much as before, and her vision became much brighter.

She didn't dare to waste time and hurriedly got up to check if there was anything else. She happened to find a strangely shaped key under the mattress.

Su Lanyin took it in her hand and looked at it. She felt that this thing would definitely be useful in the future, so she immediately put it in her arms.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard footsteps approaching. Fortunately, she had just restored everything to its original state, so even if someone came, they would not notice anything unusual.

She looked around and finally decided to crawl under the bed. Just as she entered, the door was pushed open and a pair of black boots stepped in first, followed by another person.

"How are you preparing?"

The voice is Fu Mingheng.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything is ready. We just need to wait for King Xiaoyao's army to leave, and then we can take action. By then, even if he wants to come back to rescue you, it will be too far away for him to do so."

"Very good! He will probably react only after I sit on the throne. Humph, Fu Wuyang, this time I will definitely get everything I want, and no one can stop me!"

Su Lanyin was shocked. Could it be that Fu Mingheng was really planning to force the emperor to abdicate?

At present, the large army has been marching for several days. If they continue to move forward, it may be too late to stop Fu Mingheng even if they rush back.

No, we have to find a way to pass the message on to the situation here, and let Fang Hengzhi contact the main force and turn back to Shengjing in time in case of emergency.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, she heard the two people in the house continuing their conversation.

"Your Highness, the weapons are almost ready, what should we do with these black slaves?"

"They are just a bunch of ants. When I ascend the throne, no one will know of the existence of this place. So they must all die, including every guard here!"

"So when do we act?"

"The day after tomorrow, after all the people around me have evacuated, I will blow this place up directly."

"Okay, leave this matter to me, I will definitely get it done!"

"Let's go and take a look at the gunpowder magazine first."

"Yes!"

After they finished talking, they left the room, and Su Lanyin quickly crawled out from under the bed.

How she is going to get out is a problem now.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the closet. When she opened the door just now, she seemed to see the guards' clothes inside.

Got it!

She immediately tore off the scar on her face, changed into a guard's clothes, and successfully escaped.

Then he quietly followed Fu Mingheng all the way to the gunpowder depot.

She hid in the dark and waited for a while, and the two people who had just entered finally left, but there were still two guards guarding the door.

Su Lanyin's eyes turned, then she walked over as if nothing had happened and went into the gunpowder depot without saying a word.

"stop!"

One of the guards stopped him and asked cautiously: "Which department are you from? Who allowed you to enter the gunpowder depot without permission?"

Su Lanyin said seriously, "The boss just went to the gunpowder depot to check it out. He said that he would need it the day after tomorrow, so he asked me to count the gunpowder."

The two guards looked at each other and whispered, "It seems that I heard the boss say that gunpowder will be used in two days."

"Yes, that's true."

The two discussed it, then looked at Su Lanyin, a little puzzled: "Why do you look a little unfamiliar?"

"It's dark here, and I don't think you two look familiar."

Su Lanyin responded naturally, which made the two men lower their guard. Then she said to her, "Okay, go in. Be careful. There is a lot of powerful gunpowder in there. Once it ignites, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Don't worry, I will be careful. Thank you both for your help."

The two of them made way for the door, and Su Lanyin walked in with a swagger.

As soon as she closed the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Without caring about anything else, he hurried over to check the gunpowder here.

Although the number is small, they should all be quite powerful. If they were ignited at the same time, the mine would inevitably collapse, and all the black slaves would be buried here.

Fu Mingheng is really cruel. In his eyes, human life is just like grass and ants, which can be trampled at will.

No, she had to find a way to stop it.

Su Lanyin held her chin and thought for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Have it!"

She curled her lips into a confident smile, turned around and was about to leave, but then stopped.

She looked down at the gunpowder sticks beside her, thought for a while, took out a few and put them in her arms, just in case they were useful, this thing is always better than a sword.
