As if she had heard such words many times, Ruyi did not show any annoyance. She opened her eyes slightly and glanced at him with a shimmering light like the sky clearing after rain. Her rosy pink lips pursed slightly. "Since you know where he is, with your abilities, are you afraid that Cui Yi will run away?"

As he spoke, he yawned again, raised his thin hands high behind his ears, twisted his slender waist, and said nonchalantly, "Didn't that Zhao guy claim to be his grandfather? With him in hand, who's to worry about Cui Yi not surrendering obediently?"

His figure was even more graceful than that of an ordinary woman. He glanced at Zhao Ji, who was tied up and covered in injuries, and the smile on his lips deepened. "Alright, why are you rushing me? Let's go~"

It's such a shabby place. You don't even need to take off your clothes to sleep. What's there to clean up?

Ruyi lazily stood up and casually gathered her scattered hair. "Come to think of it, I have some connection with Cui Shaoqing. I didn't expect to meet him here. It really proves the old saying..."

He didn't need to pack, but the guards had things to take. No one responded to his words, but he didn't care. He walked out on his own, his voice soft and graceful: "Life is full of encounters~"

The guards looked at his back, and one of them squinted his eyes and moved closer to the man at the beginning: "Boss, there seems to be something wrong with this eunuch."

"You just noticed it?"

"This matter concerns His Highness's important plan. This eunuch is so slow and tired after walking for a while. Otherwise, how could we have lost him?"

They had doubts before, but they just couldn't figure out why?

As a eunuch, and a eunuch beside the crown prince, and having an unclear relationship with the crown prince, what else can he do if he doesn't wholeheartedly support the crown prince?

"Could it be Wei..."

"This matter is not for us to control. Everyone should be alert. Take the medicine and return. Your Highness will then question him."

"Yes."

On the top of the mountain, people were lying all over the ground. They had been trapped down there for such a long time and were so exhausted when they came out. They could only lie there and breathe in the fresh air to announce their new life.

Qi Qige remembered Jiang Shangxian's words deeply in his mind. The first thing he did when he came out was to drag Xisi around to look for super large gold nuggets, but of course he found nothing in the end.

She was so angry that she said Jiang Shangxian's gossip was even worse than that of the women in the village!

What could Jiang Shangxian do? She couldn't conjure up that huge pile of gold for her. Even if she did, she wouldn't be willing to give it to him. She could only pretend not to hear him: "Hurry up, hurry up, find something to eat first. I'm so hungry that I want to chew on leaves!"

Cui Bianxu wanted to get her some food, but the dragon poison had caused so much trouble on the top of the mountain that all living things within a ten-mile radius had probably moved away urgently, and not even an ant was seen.

The group had no choice but to hurry down the mountain. Zhao Shan called out to Qiqige to show some courtesy as a good host. Xisi, not yet in the mood to rise from the serfdom, immediately refused: "If the people in our village knew where you came from, would they still want to eat? I'm afraid they'll be beaten with bamboo sticks!"

She now knew that these people were sent by the Liu family. The Liu family was hated by everyone in the Xiou tribe. If they went back with them, wouldn't they be in trouble too?

Qi Qi Ge was tired of glaring at her. She was such a person with a brain full of shit. After all, the other person had helped a lot. Even if she was not allowed to go, she couldn't say that, right?

But she didn't want to take him back, so she said, "There's a place to stay not far from here. Let's go there and rest first."

Cui Bianxu turned his head and glared at Zhao Shan. Why go to the Xiou tribe? As if they didn't have enough troubles? With their current state, if the Xiou people wanted to beat them up to vent their anger, who could withstand so many people fighting?

Zhao Shan turned his neck awkwardly and looked away. Wasn't he thinking of getting some good stuff for Aunt Jiang? Her nosebleed was flowing for two miles.

One group walked down the mountain to the left, while another group went up the mountain from the right, and they just happened to go in the wrong direction.

Looking at the dark, foul-smelling hole, Ruyi waved her handkerchief, the delicate tip of her pen raised, and said with regret, "It's unfortunate, I'm afraid this person is gone."

After hearing this, the guards who were originally annoyed were all furious. If he hadn't been so slow and dawdling, would they have been able to catch up?

"Do you want to go down and take a look?" A guard glared at him and patiently asked the leading guard.

Ruyi curled her lips, shook her head, and rolled her eyes coquettishly: "I'm afraid the things Your Highness wants have been taken away long ago. What's the point of going down now? You guys are always procrastinating on doing things. It really proves the old saying that you can't even eat hot shit."

The guard leader knew that the first half of his words was correct, but the second half made no sense. It was clearly because of him that he was unable to catch up. However, thinking that although he was not as favored by the prince as Chengxin, he still had some face, he could only sigh and say, "Look where they are going! Chase them!"

The geese leave traces when they pass by. The vegetation in this mountain is lush and lush. If someone leaves not long ago, they will definitely leave traces.

If we don't meet them in this mountain, it will be even more difficult to catch up with them on the way back.

The outside world is not like this place, where people fight without any scruples.

Qiqige and Xisi were very familiar with the roads in the mountains. The two young ladies led them around in circles and actually led them to a small path. After walking along the path for more than an hour, they saw a tiled house that was quite out of harmony with the mountains.

Jiang Shangxian collapsed halfway. Thinking about how he had lost a lot of weight recently, he shamelessly asked Xiao Cui to carry him. He opened his eyes in a daze when he heard Yingzi say it.

There were only two small houses with yellow mud and black tiles. The houses themselves were not special, but the location where they were built was special.

It was actually between two low mountain walls, with the houses next to each side, about two or three meters off the ground, supported by several thick wooden beams. Judging from the dilapidated state of the house, it must have been uninhabited for a long time.

Qiqige walked in first, introducing the place to them: "I don't know when this was built by people from the Central Plains. We all build houses with bamboo here, so why would we bother with something like this?"

It's neither ventilated nor breathable, and it's damp and stuffy to live in. Who can stand it?

So after those people from the Central Plains left, few people came to this place, and at most they came to rest for a while while passing by.

Jiang Shangxian lay on Cui Bianxu's back and whispered in his ear, "Was this done by those who came to look for Zhao Tuo's tomb in the past?"

It would take more than a day or two to aimlessly search for a tomb in such a vast mountain range. Even the people from the big clans would be willing to build a house and search slowly.

Even if this house is built, it’s useless. Looking at this, you can tell that it has not been found!

Xisi often went out all over the mountains to cast poison and look for insects, but he had stopped here many times. He took out a few coarse pottery jars and led Yingzi to fetch water, while the guards were divided into two groups to go hunting.

Everyone was so hungry that they could eat a whole pig. If they went too far, the few melons and dates they brought back wouldn’t even be enough to fill their teeth!

Jiang Shangxian looked at Gao Yu, who was carelessly thrown to the ground, and discussed with Qiqige, "If Dragon Gu is convenient, why not get this done now?"

It’s better for this guy to die early and be reborn.
