Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Things happened so fast that it caught us off guard.

Everyone was stunned, and by the time they reacted, their master had already disappeared into the thick fog, leaving no trace.

Shen Qingge was also shocked, but when she came to her senses, she was already deep in the fog.

She was a little annoyed, then she scolded:

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xiao Heng disagreed and said calmly:

"I just don't want to see you in danger alone!

Besides, I have full confidence in your abilities, young lady, and I believe you will be able to protect me!"

Hearing this, Shen Qingge couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, never mind, since things have come to this, I might as well just go along with this gentleman's wishes for now.

So, she frowned slightly and said in a serious tone:

"Your Highness, please cover your mouth and nose immediately to prevent the poison hidden in this thick fog!"

As she spoke, she quickly reached out and pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Heng behind her.

It’s strange to say, this thick fog is very different from what I encountered before.

After Shen Qingge inhaled twice, he did not notice any poison in it.

However, when she concentrated her mind and activated her extremely sharp five senses, she was surprised to find that the thick fog seemed to have formed a solid barrier, tightly surrounding her.

No matter how hard she tried to perceive, she could not penetrate the fog, so that her vision was severely obstructed and she could not see the distant scenery clearly; even her hearing was greatly affected and she could not hear any sound from afar.

In this case, let alone finding other people's traces, it would probably be difficult for the two of them to leave this place smoothly at this moment.

What can be done then?

Right now, all we can do is be extremely alert and vigilant, moving forward slowly while paying attention to the situation around us.

If it really came to the last resort, she would take Xiao Heng and slip into the space for safety.

In this way, the two men rode their horses, moving forward slowly at an extremely slow pace.

In the vast dense forest, there was no other sound except the rhythmic and continuous sound of horse hooves.

Thick fog permeated the air, seemingly hiding countless unknown dangers and secrets. The damp, cold air within the fog quickly attacked like icy tentacles, soaking the temples of both men before long.

Shen Qingge felt Xiao Heng shudder and asked with concern:

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Xiao Heng responded in a deep voice:

"I'm fine, don't worry. Let's just keep going. Don't let me distract you!"

From then on, the two stopped talking and walked forward with full concentration, paying attention to everything that was happening around them.

Suddenly, a slight and mysterious "gurgle...gurgle..." sound came faintly from not far away.

The voice was so vague that it was hard to determine its exact location, but the strange aura it emanated from it was like an invisible force that gripped Shen Qingge's heartstrings.

She subconsciously patted Xiao Heng behind her, fearing that she might disturb the unknown danger lurking around her.

Then, she gently turned sideways and whispered in his ear:

"Your Highness, have you heard any strange noises, like running water?"

At this moment, Shen Qingge's whole body was leaning backwards, and the distance between her and Xiao Heng was so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Such an ambiguous posture would have been extremely awkward for both of them under normal circumstances. However, at this moment, both of them were completely preoccupied with the strange noise that had inexplicably appeared, and they completely ignored these subtle details.

After hearing what she said, Xiao Heng did not dare to take it lightly and quickly pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

He held his breath and concentrated all his attention on trying to catch the faint sound, but after a long while, he found nothing.

So he responded in a low voice:

"I didn't notice any unusual sounds, but you have always had keen senses. Since you noticed something, it must be true.

Just trust your own judgment!"

After receiving Xiao Heng's reply, Shen Qingge immediately proposed:

"Then, in my opinion, why don't we all go together to explore the direction where the sound came from?

We might find something unexpected. Furthermore, the place where the water is flowing out is most likely the exit to the outside world!"

Xiao Heng thought for a moment, then responded:

"Okay, let's do everything according to your wishes, girl!"

Then, the two of them groped forward in the direction where the sound came from.

Time passed slowly, and they didn't know how long they had been walking. They just felt as if they were trapped in a strange circle.

The fog ahead gradually thinned, but strangely, the fog behind them remained as thick as before. Fortunately, they were finally able to part the fog and see the scene clearly.

There were only scattered stones all over the ground. These stones did not look like they were formed naturally, but rather seemed to be deliberately made by someone.

If you look closely, you will find that this place seems to have experienced a serious collapse accident not long ago.

It was the stream flowing down from the mountain, rushing down and making bursts of noise as it passed through these piles of rocks.

After seeing this scene, Shen Qingge couldn't help but say:

"It seems that this place must have collapsed due to the erosion of the water!"

Behind her, Xiao Heng began to mutter something in a low voice:

"Where water surrounds the dragon, its body rests. To have water is the best, to hide from the wind is the second best.

This place is surrounded by flowing water, with mountains leaning against the water, and it looks like a dragon coming. I'm afraid it is the tomb of a king or a prince."

Hearing him mumbling something, Shen Qingge showed a hint of surprise on his face and said quickly:

"Your Highness, I never realized you knew all these things."

After saying that, she nimbly jumped off the horse's back and landed steadily on the ground. After landing on the ground with both feet, she stomped the ground under her feet vigorously, and then shouted to Xiao Heng excitedly:

"This piece of ground really feels different from other places!"

At this time, Xiao Heng also jumped off his horse and walked towards her slowly and calmly.

When he got closer, he said calmly:

"This is a matter of course! Every emperor in history would begin planning and building their own mausoleum when they first ascended the throne.

The director of the Imperial Observatory would lead his officials to study the so-called Feng Shui theories all day long.

This prince grew up in the palace and has been exposed to such things, so naturally he has acquired some common sense about them!"
