"Master Ke? Master Ke?" Xiao Mubei saw that Ke Yuwen was in a daze, so he called him twice.

Ke Yuwen seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is too kind. I was born and raised in Southern Xinjiang, so I have been exposed to these things since I was a child. I am not a talented person."

"Master Ke is too modest."

As they talked, they walked forward. Ke Yuwen looked at the distance and saw that they were almost at the place where the landslide had crushed the mountain. He immediately realized that he could not turn back. The guilt that had just appeared in his heart immediately disappeared. He suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I may have a stomachache. Your Majesty and Princess, please take a look first. I will be back soon."

Here they come. It seems that Ke Yuwen is ready to catch them all here. Xiao Mubei grabbed Ke Yuwen who wanted to run away after saying that and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, Lord Ke. It just so happens that I am in a hurry too. Why don't we go together?"

Ke Yuwen couldn't help but secretly groan. What did the Dingbei King mean? Could it be that he had seen through their thoughts?

He said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, you are joking. I really have an upset stomach. I am afraid of offending Your Highness and Princess. Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me."

Xiao Mubei said seriously: "How can I embarrass Lord Ke? I am really in a hurry."

Ke Yuwen had no choice but to take Xiao Mubei out, and the others naturally followed Xiao Mubei.

As Ke Yuwen walked, his mind raced. What should he do? King Dingbei was not fooled. He had originally thought that after he got out, he would lie to Wu Xu and say that King Dingbei was in trouble inside, so that they could also go in. Then he and Qingshan could seal the exit smoothly and detonate the explosives left behind. None of these people would be able to escape. The few people left in the village would not be a match for their people at all.

I didn’t expect Xiao Mubei to not be fooled and insisted on following out. What should I do?

In just a few dozen steps, Ke Yuwen racked his brain countless times, but he couldn't think of a good plan.

They soon reached the exit. Qingshan saw Ke Yuwen first and a look of joy appeared on his face, but then he saw Xiao Mubei following him out. His joy instantly turned into astonishment, and he looked at Ke Yuwen questioningly.

Ke Yuwen was helpless and couldn't explain to Qingshan, so he had to take Xiao Mubei towards the toilet. But before they took two steps, Qingshan said something to a yamen runner beside him, and that man suddenly grabbed Chu Yunxi with lightning speed, and then put a long sword across her neck.

"princess!"

"princess!"

Zi Han and the purple-clothed guards shouted in unison. Xiao Mubei was originally in front of Chu Yunxi. He was staring at Ke Yuwen. He didn't expect that the people around Qingshan would suddenly attack Chu Yunxi. He hurriedly turned around to grab Chu Yunxi, but he grabbed nothing. After kidnapping Chu Yunxi, the man immediately retreated and retreated into the salt mine.

"Release the princess and I can spare your life!" Xiao Mubei said sternly to the man who kidnapped Chu Yunxi.

"Let her go? How can it be so easy? Since I have kidnapped her, how can I let her go without some benefits?"

"What benefit do you want?" Xiao Mubei was obviously really anxious. Although his voice was very low, one could still hear a slight tremor in it.

The man sniffed Chu Yunxi's neck and said with an intoxicated look on his face: "I have never tasted the taste of a royal woman in my life. If you want her to live, don't follow me in. When I am done, I will naturally let her go."

As he said this, he pulled Chu Yunxi into the salt mine.

Xiao Mubei almost exploded with anger. He suppressed his anger and said, "If you dare to touch her, I will kill all your clans."

"I'm so scared. If you have the guts, kill me now. I promise that before I die, I will drag you, the beautiful princess, down with me."

As the man spoke, he kept retreating deeper into the salt mine. Xiao Mubei and the others also followed him into the salt mine. Chu Yunxi was not actually panicked. She followed the man step by step, her mind racing.

There was no other exit in the salt mine. Even if Zi Han wanted to save her, she had no way to attack from another direction and could only follow her.

Seeing that the Purple Guard and Xiao Mubei had already re-entered the salt mine, and Wu Xu followed in, Chu Yunxi suddenly understood the intention of the person behind her.

He deliberately angered Xiao Mubei, making him lose the ability to think, and then used words to keep him company, making him follow him into the salt mine step by step. Wu Xu was worried and would naturally follow him in. Once everyone was led into the salt mine, Qingshan and Ke Yuwen could implement the plan outside. To put it bluntly, this man was a death warrior, and he came out at this moment to die. Using his life to exchange for the lives of so many people was a good deal.

"Brother, why did you choose to come in and die?" Chu Yunxi said in a faint voice, "There are so many people outside, why did they choose you?"

The man viciously tightened the sword against Chu Yunxi's neck and said, "Shut up, I want to do it, what's your business?"

"I can't do anything about it," Chu Yunxi didn't care about his threat at all, "but you want to use your life to exchange for so many of our lives, so I can't just ignore it. Otherwise, tell me what your plan is? Do you want to kidnap me, and then lure King Dingbei and the others in, and then they make explosives and blow us all to death inside?"

Xiao Mubei was just worried and confused, but after listening to Chu Yunxi's analysis, he immediately understood, so he turned around and said, "General Wu, you guys leave."

Wu Xu had just come in with his people, and they immediately retreated after hearing the words, but it was too late. They saw a huge net falling from the cave entrance, surrounding the entire cave entrance. Wu Xu immediately took out his sword to chop it, but found that it was actually a steel cable net that was not afraid of swords and could not be cut at all.

While everyone was looking at the cave entrance, Chu Yunxi flipped her wrist, took out a needle crossbow from the Liyue bracelet, and shot a needle with her backhand. The man was very close to Chu Yunxi and was not on guard against her, so he had no way to avoid it. The needle entered his lower abdomen and flew out from his lower back. The man didn't even have time to make a sound before he fell to the ground motionless.

Xiao Mubei hurried forward and hugged Chu Yunxi, "Yunxi, are you okay? It's all my fault that you are in danger."

Chu Yunxi patted his back and comforted him, "Don't blame you. It was because I was not prepared that they had the opportunity to take advantage of me. Now think about how to solve the current dilemma."

"Well," Xiao Mubei let her go. At this time, Ke Yuwen's smug laugh came from outside, "My Lord, no matter how smart you are, you still fell into my hands in the end."

Xiao Mubei stood inside the net and said in a deep voice: "Why did you do this? Murdering the prince is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan."
