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

Finally, after waiting for the results from the system, Liang Chongyue looked at the panel showing that it was estimated to take 34 hours to complete the journey. He silently took out a handful of candy and a large bag of dried meat from his bag and stuffed them into Jing Suiyang's arms.

Jing Suiyang subconsciously took the thing His Highness stuffed into his hand. After smelling the sweet aroma of the candy, he looked at His Highness in confusion:

"Your Highness, I have stopped eating candy for a long time."

Liang Chongyue opened a piece of candy and put it in his mouth. The candies produced in the system mall tasted sweet and refreshing.

"Put it away first, and eat one when you get tired later."

Jing Sui Yang didn't understand what His Highness meant by this. Liang Chongyue had already dismounted and started filling up several empty kettles with water while filling them with snow, and also added some glucose.

After finishing all this, Liang Chongyue stood in front of the Beauty Pine, untied the reins of the warhorse with some reluctance, and gently stroked the warhorse's mane. The warhorse neighed softly and rubbed Liang Chongyue's hand quite smartly.

"Let them go, they can find their way back by themselves."

These are all war horses carefully trained by the Xiang family. Old horses know the way, so they can do it too.

"Go back and tell me you're safe."

Liang Chongyue put away the reins that he had untied from the war horses. Seeing this, Jing Suiyang followed suit and watched the two war horses disappear from his sight like arrows.

Liang Chongyue started searching the bark of the pine tree for the place where the little snake had previously entered. The little snake was small and could easily enter, and there was no trace of it visible from the outside.

But according to what Yan Yang confessed, he had left the capital city through this secret passage many times before. Now, this beauty pine tree looked more than twice as big as the surrounding trees, but there was no sign of damage on the outside, which proved that there must be a mechanism inside.

If they want to pass through this secret passage safely, they must not force their way in, otherwise there are countless traps waiting for them inside.

Liang Chongyue walked around the trunk and finally stopped on a piece of raised bark. The color of this piece of bark was darker than the surrounding bark. However, because the beauty pine was tall and lush, the light below was not very good, and it could not be seen at all without careful observation.

Liang Chongyue reached out and pressed on the raised piece of bark. After hearing two crackling sounds, a large piece of bark surrounding that piece of bark began to move.

Upon seeing this, Jing Sui Yang immediately raised his sword and stood in front of His Highness.

Liang Chongyue had anticipated this, and calmly watched as the mechanism was triggered. The bark moved, and a black hole half a person's height appeared on the trunk of the beauty pine.

The entrance to the cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was inside. There was also a faint smell of rotten wood. Liang Chongyue took out a night pearl from his backpack and gave one to Jing Suiyang, while holding one in his own hand.

"Let's go. From here we can reach the Northern Palace."

Jing Sui Yang looked down at the night pearl in his hand, wondering if His Highness had known for a long time that there was a secret passage leading to the Northern Palace, otherwise how could he have made such complete preparations.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Jing Sui Yang still walked quickly to the front of His Highness and stepped into the tree hole before His Highness.

Liang Chongyue watched Jing Suiyang hunch his body and squeeze into the tree hole with some difficulty. His broad shoulders, which usually looked pleasing to the eye, now seemed a bit of a hindrance.

Liang Chongyue would never show off in such matters. Someone was taking risks for her, so why should she refuse?

Following Jing Sui Yang into the tree hole, the road at the beginning was short and narrow and extremely difficult to walk on. Jing Sui Yang led the way in front, and Liang Chongyue followed behind, listening to the sound of the wooden door closing behind them. Fortunately, the night pearl she prepared was bright enough, so the two of them were not blinded.

The secret passage was closed and the oxygen was thin. Listening to Jing Suiyang's heavy breathing, Liang Chongyue took a look at his physical data. Fortunately, it was still within normal values. However, it was normal to feel some physical discomfort when first arriving in such an environment.

Liang Chongyue was looking at the infrared searchlight map on the panel all the way. He saw that they were moving forward at a snail's pace. An hour had passed, and they had not yet left the forest.

Fortunately, the secret passage after leaving the forest was wider. Without the rats and tree roots that suddenly appeared under their feet, they could slowly stand up and move forward.

After standing up, the two of them moved faster and their physical consumption also increased. Liang Chongyue's giving them sugar and dried meat was really foresighted.

Jing Sui Yang held the night pearl in his hand and listened to the sound of His Highness opening the kettle behind him. He felt a little thirsty, but when he thought that the kettle was filled with snow, even if all the snow melted, it would not be enough for His Highness to drink. After thinking about it, Jing Sui Yang pressed the kettle hanging on his body down.

After Liang Chongyue drank two sips of water to replenish his energy, he handed the remaining water in the kettle to Jing Suiyang from behind.

"These kettles are all full, don't save them, there are some to go on this road."

The map showed that they had only walked less than one-tenth of the way, so it would take a long time to complete the journey.

Jing Sui Yang reached out to take the kettle handed to him by His Highness, listened to the sound of water sloshing in the kettle, took two sips in shock, and didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually felt that the water was a little sweet.

While Liang Chongyue was crawling in the dark in the secret passage, a month later, the capital finally received the first secret letter sent back from Huangdu.

Liang Zhan had just opened the envelope and read two lines when the queen, who was praying for Chongyue, heard the voice, put down the scriptures she had not finished reciting, stood up and walked towards him.

Through a screen, Liang Zhan quickly stuffed the top page of the secret letter into An Yi's arms, and began to read the rest of the secret letters.

"But is it the secret letter sent back by Huangdu?"

The only thing in Xiang Huayue's beautiful eyes was the secret letter in His Majesty's hand. Chongyue had led his army away for three months. Huangdu was desolate and far away, and they were facing the northern border again.

Ever since Chongyue left, she could hardly sleep at night, and could only take a short nap during the day by staying in the side hall where Chongyue used to live.

Liang Zhan ignored the queen and quickly read the secret letter in his hand. After making sure that there was nothing in it that the queen could not read, he handed the secret letter to the queen.

"It's Huangdu who sent it back. Not bad. Chongyue is worthy of being my daughter. She conquered seven cities in ten days. She has the style of my past. Hahaha..."

Xiang Huayue heard the hearty laughter of His Majesty, but turned a deaf ear to it and concentrated on looking for information about Chongyue in these secret letters.

After searching through the five secret letters several times, Xiang Huayue found the only one related to Chongyue:

The marshal led his army to capture seven cities in ten days and had already reached Lishui Pass. Less than 50,000 soldiers were killed in the battle.

The more Xiang Huayue looked, the deeper her frown grew. She had been sleeping restlessly during the day lately. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would see the scene of Chongyue lying in the coffin and being sent back by her elder brother.

Just like the day when she left the palace to send Jingchuan off for Chongyue, her sister-in-law cried like a tearful person and fainted three times. She felt her heart aching as she watched. Chongyue was the only child she had in her life. If it was Chongyue, she would have hit her head against the coffin and died, and followed Chongyue.
