The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

It was so dark in the cave that even Liang Chongyue couldn't see the road ahead.

Liang Chongyue stood at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Li Yu'an to come in, and glanced at him sideways in the remaining moonlight at the entrance.

Liang Chongyue noticed at a glance that the blood oozing from the corner of Li Yu'an's mouth had not been wiped clean. Thinking of his coughing outside just now, he began to doubt whether this man's tuberculosis was really cured.

Liang Chongyue took down the sword box and took out a tinder from it. The cave was windproof, and with the faint light of the tinder, Liang Chongyue picked up a few branches on the ground and put the torch heads in the box on them.

The torch head is soaked in oil, so it can burn longer.

Not knowing what the situation was inside, Liang Chongyue lit two torch heads in a row and bought new ones in the mall to fill in the gaps.

With two torches, Liang Chongyue could already see things in the distance clearly in this dark cave.

Liang Chongyue gave a torch to Ping An. As for Li Yu'an, this was not his first time to come to this place.

He should have been more prepared for everything in the cave. If he wasn't, he couldn't blame others.

Li Yu'an's gaze followed His Highness all the time, and the presence or absence of a torch was of no importance to him.

"Watch your step, let's go in too."

Liang Chongyue tilted the torch forward slightly and saw various animal skeletons inside the cave entrance, with rats gnawing on them.

This mouse ate too much meat in the wild, and its eyes turned green, making people look scary.

There was a crackling sound from the burning torches. Liang Chongyue divided the swords in the sword box, giving one to Ping'an and one to herself. As for Li Yu'an, a weakling, it was useless even if she gave him a sword.

Ping An followed behind His Highness with the sword given by His Highness, carefully protecting His Highness all the way. As for Grand Tutor Li, if it weren't for him, His Highness would not have come to such a scary place. If His Highness had not taken action against the tiger just now, Grand Tutor Li would have been killed by it.

With the light of the fire, Liang Chongyue led her men all the way into the depths of the cave. Along the way, she saw many skulls and broken limbs. She counted them carefully and found that not a single corpse had complete limbs.

Most of them were missing a leg, and Liang Chongyue noticed that all the bodies were women and children, and it was rare to see a man's body.

Judging from the size, it belongs to a boy who is not yet an adult.

Li Yu'an walked at the back, and seeing His Highness's pace gradually slowing down, he followed His Highness's gaze towards the corpses and explained:

"There are villages in the mountains. This is where they worship the mountain gods, so most of the bodies here are children and women."

Liang Chongyue looked straight ahead with an unfriendly look. She hated such bad habits the most. If praying to God was effective, so many people would not die in this world.

"So they don't have legs. They're probably afraid they'll run away."

Liang Chongyue squatted down, picked up the leg bone lying in the middle, and put it back to its owner.

Li Yu'an didn't know how to respond to His Highness's words, so he could only follow His Highness and walk forward quietly.

Liang Chongyue picked up all the bones he encountered along the way and put them on both sides, as long as they were not broken and could not be picked up.

Besides rats and bats, the most common thing we saw along the way was piles of bones.

Some of the bones have weathered and turn to ash at the touch.

Liang Chongyue walked on the road paved with bones, and had gone over the imperial edict prohibiting the use of human sacrifices after she ascended the throne dozens of times in her mind.

Liang Chongyue had been walking along this path for a while, but he could not reach the innermost part of the cave.

"Master, it seems we've come full circle again."

Ping'an noticed with his sharp eyes that the leg bones that His Highness had just placed on the corpse next to him were still there. If His Highness had not been kind-hearted, he would not have noticed even if he walked a few more times. They had already walked this road once.

Liang Chongyue looked down at the bones around him, then looked up at the endless darkness in the distance, and his hand holding the torch slowly clenched.

"Sir, you should know the way."

Her Royal Highness the Princess' voice was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out. Li Yu'an had often followed Her Royal Highness to place the bones on the road on both sides. Seeing the bones he had just placed, Li Yu'an frowned slightly, and felt a little more uneasy in his heart.

"Master, I've always been here during the day. This is the first time I've entered the cave at night. I've never experienced this before."

Liang Chongyue didn't originally have high expectations for Li Yu'an, as the situation in the cave was complicated.

The ancients were superstitious, and even when they were holding a memorial ceremony, they would be particular about the choice of location.

There must be something strange in this cave.

"Master, please wait here. I will go ahead and explore the way."

As he spoke, Li Yu'an started walking in another direction.

"Wait a minute."

Liang Chongyue turned around with a torch in hand. In the light of the fire, her face, which was so beautiful that it was heartbreaking, was filled with a coldness that kept strangers away.

"This is because I didn't investigate the situation well in advance. Master, please wait here. I will definitely find another way."

Liang Chongyue did not say anything to criticize Li Yu'an's decision. At this time, she really needed to take the risk and explore the way alone.

"No hurry, come here first, this young master has something for you."

Li Yu'an approached the prince, and Ping'an was forced to move to the side to make room for Li Taishi, but he held the long sword tightly, ready at any time to kill Li Taishi if he made any abnormal move.

When Li Yu'an stood in front of him, Liang Chongyue stuffed the torch and sword in his hand into his hands.

"Master, without this sword, if you encounter..."

Before Li Yu'an could finish his words, Liang Chongyue stopped him.

"Watch your mouth. Even without this sword, I can still kill ten of you. Stop saying unlucky words."

"Yes."

Seeing that Li Yu'an had learned his lesson, Liang Chongyue took the opportunity to take something out of the sword box and bought a positioning rope from the mall.

One end of the rope was tied around Li Yu'an's waist. She had tied several knots in it, which could not be untied unless she cut it with a sword.

However, at the moment of cutting, the location will be transmitted to her panel.

Liang Chongyue grabbed the other end of the rope and said to Li Yuan:

"Now I've given you everything that can save your life. Don't let me down."

Li Yu'an felt the restraint around his waist without feeling any displeasure at all. If he didn't have something in both hands, he would have wanted to tie the knot tighter.

So that His Highness can keep him tied up forever.

"Master, don't worry. I will never let you down."

Liang Chongyue stood there and watched Li Yu'an leave.

Li Yu'an is not a fool. As long as he is not a liar, he will definitely find another way.

"Master, how about I help you hold the other end of the rope?"

Ping'an saw that His Highness had put the other end of the rope back in the box, and was a little worried that Master Li had run away without His Highness knowing.
