Chapter 208 The Next Hill

"Prince Qing is the master of everyone here," Yu Bailin said calmly.

This explanation is easy to understand enough.

Even though they were prepared, Gu Junqing and Xin Chuan were still a little surprised.

"Is there a salt mine hidden in the northern suburbs?"

This was the third question asked by Gu Junqing. Yu Bailin frowned and shook his head.

"I don't know about this. Right now my focus is basically on guarding the gate. As for the deeper level, I only have a rough understanding of it. Is the Qing King the master of everyone here? Was it someone above who accidentally told me?"

Xin Chuan looked at Gu Junqing, not knowing what he was thinking, with a somewhat cold expression on his face, so he said:

"But we have been here for a long time and haven't seen the salt mines you mentioned. Do you know where they are?"

Yu Bailin did not blurt out his answer directly as he did just now. Instead, there was a hint of hesitation on his face, as he was struggling with whether or not to do so and what the consequences of doing so would be.

Gu Junqing did not use threats or inducements as he had done before. Instead, he stood on his left side and waited quietly for him to think things through.

Fortunately, Yu Bailin didn't keep the two waiting too long. He just nodded, which meant he agreed.

The two sides cooperated and reached an agreement reluctantly.

It’s actually not too late now, you can still take a look around.

Gu Junqing thought, now that he knew this was under the jurisdiction of King Qing, everything became clear to him, so he might as well make the ideas clearer.

But why did Yu Bailin do this, why did he betray Lin Shanpin so easily and why did Prince Qing cooperate with them has been lingering in Gu Junqing's mind. However, before she could ask, Yu Bailin in front of her blocked her indifferently.

Seeing that he seemed to be very repulsive to this question, or rather, repulsive to the answer to the question he needed to answer, Yu Bailin still told them anyway that he had a grudge against this place and hoped that it would be completely destroyed more than they did, and would not do anything that would be detrimental to the two of them.

These words were said to reassure them.

After hearing what he said, Gu Junqing and Xin Chuan did not believe it immediately. In their hearts, they still maintained a cautious attitude.

Always be vigilant.

Yu Bailin didn't care what they were thinking or what. Anyway, there were people helping him now, so why not do it?

Gu Junqing had just untied the man when Yu Bai in front of him became a little unfaithful. He stood up and jumped twice on the spot, as if his legs were numb. Gu Junqing looked at him and asked, "Will people outside suspect you of something if you go out at this time?"

Yu Bailin stopped jumping up and down when he heard that. He looked thoughtful. After a long pause, he suddenly shook his head and said, "I just told Lin San that I need to rest. According to my usual schedule, if I go out at this time, it will indeed attract attention and even suspicion, not to mention that I have to take you two with me."

Before Xin Chuan could ask him what he meant, Yu Bailin thought of something and looked at them with an inexplicable light in his eyes. He said:

"You sneaked in like this, why don't you bring me along? I can lead the way in front or behind you, right?"

This was a good suggestion. The two looked at each other, but then they looked at Yu Bailin, who looked a little thin. Xin Chuan finally spoke up and asked him, "How is your Qinggong?"

Xin Chuan assured that he had only asked this question purely without any intention of showing off or disdain, but the man in front of him didn't know what he had said, and his face was full of dislike for him. Moreover, Yu Bailin's tone when answering him was a bit aggressive, like an irritable younger brother, and he only heard him say:

"Very good, I won't be a hindrance!"

Xin Chuan didn't understand. He shrugged, turned his back and was too lazy to talk.

Gu Junqing patted his shoulder, then turned his head and said to Bailin: "Let's go up first."

Go up? Yu Bailin followed Gu Junqing's line of sight and looked up at the pile of stones above. The stones were big enough, so they were enough for several people to hide in the dark.

Gu Junqing was the first to go up. She first signaled to the group of secret guards who were following them in the dark, asking them to follow somewhere else, preferably not to a place where Yu Bailin would discover them.

The secret guard understood immediately and slipped away to another place before Yu Bailin came up.

Yu Bailin discovered for the first time that there was a place to hide people on top of it. He immediately became interested and wanted to run somewhere else, but fortunately he was stopped by Xin Chuan.

Yu Bailin had no idea that there was actually a group of people following them silently in the dark. He just led the way after seeing Gu Junqing give way to them.

Fortunately, it was not very far. In just half an incense stick of time, Yu Bailin brought the two to a salt mine cave.

Coincidentally, the person guarding the salt mine cave tonight was someone close to Yu Bailin, so Yu Bailin didn't hesitate and jumped down directly.

Seeing that the atmosphere below had eased and the guards were respectful to Bai Lin, Gu Junqing immediately felt relieved and jumped down with them.

The people below had already heard what Yu Bailin said, so when the two came down, they were only surprised for a moment, and then there was no other movement.

Yu Bailin turned his head to look at them, and without any further ado, he asked someone to open the stone door and went in alone. Gu Junqing and Xin Chuan followed behind him.

Gu Junqing felt that he couldn't stay in this place for long.

This was her first thought after entering the door.

She frowned and looked at Xin Chuan, who also had a frown on his face. She then looked at the salt mine in front of her that was as high as a mountain. She wondered how many years it would take to get so much salt.

At first glance, the stone gate looks quite large, but once you enter, you will find that there is a huge world inside. There is nothing but salt.

The smell was really too smoky, and there was nothing good to see here, so Yu Bailin left before the other two.

After Gu Junqing and the other two came out, they closed the door again.

"Have you bribed everyone here?"

Gu Junqing asked Bai Lindao.

Yu Bailin was a little dissatisfied at first: "What do you mean by being bribed by us? The people here originally belonged to me, and they all came voluntarily."

Gu Junqing: "...Okay, okay, okay, let me put it another way. Are all the people around here yours?"

Yu Bailin nodded, "Yes, it's just that this area is full of my people, but this place is not particularly important. The most important thing is actually the hill next door, which is managed by Lin Shanpin. As for me, I finally established a relationship with him, but those soldiers guarding the stone gate misunderstood my relationship with him. What a joke! When I get the attention of the people above, Lin Shanpin will have to call me sir honestly."

Gu Junqing didn't want to get involved in this, but one word in Yu Bailin's words just now attracted her: "The hill next door?"
