The group rested in the deserted temple for a day, but did not wait for the monk to come back.

Jiang Ningwan closed her eyes and slept for a while.

But she was not asleep.

Halfway through, I saw Qin Shuangchi get up and walk out of the deserted temple. He said something to a few people outside, but I couldn't hear him because the distance was too far.

But it always feels weird.

Before they knew it, night had fallen. After Jiang Ningwan had finished her meal, she asked Qin Shuangchi, "Aren't you going to take me somewhere?"

Qin Shuangchi nodded and took her hand, "It's a bit far, let's go."

Jiang Ningwan stood up, and Yan Huixue and Xiao Fuxue followed suit.

But Qin Shuangchi said: "I can only take you with me this time, and I can't let too many people know."

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and then turned back to glance at the two of them. "Then you guys wait for me here."

The two were a little worried, after all, it was so late.

But thinking that the King of Chu had brought people with him and would surely be able to protect the general, he gave up.

Jiang Ningwan followed Qin Shuangchi out of the deserted temple and rode their horses for a long distance.

There is no wind or snow tonight, but the light in the wilderness is dim and the wind is cold, which makes people feel uneasy.

Finally we arrived at a small farmyard, which was also pitch black.

There was still tea on the stone table in the yard, and there were several used teacups, which had been covered by today's wind and snow.

While his men were guarding outside the yard, Qin Shuangchi took her into the room alone, lit a candle, and opened the secret door on the ground.

There is a dark room underground, but it is pitch black and you can't see anything.

Jiang Ningwan looked at him in confusion, "What is this?"

Qin Shuangchi held up the candle and said, "This is where we are temporarily hiding. It's very safe. Let's go down and talk in detail."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan nodded.

Just as I was about to go downstairs, I suddenly twisted my ankle and cried, "Ah!"

Almost fell.

He subconsciously supported Qin Shuangchi beside him.

He quickly reached out to support her, "Are you okay?"

But at the moment when she was about to stand up straight, she staggered again and pushed him down with great force.

The stairs were narrow and steep, and he had no place to stand. He rolled all the way down the stairs, "Ah..."

Finally, he heard a loud thud and was in so much pain that he could hardly get up.

"what are you doing?"

A voice mixed with doubt and anger came from below.

Jiang Ningwan smiled coldly and pretended to be panicked, "You didn't fall, did you? I didn't stand firmly and accidentally pushed you down."

"Then come down quickly."

The sound coming from below was echoing, and the dark room seemed to be quite large.

Jiang Ningwan simply closed the secret door and locked it, "I'll be right there."

"What are you doing! Jiang Ningwan!"

An angry voice came from downstairs, and someone was trying to come up the stairs.

But Jiang Ningwan quickly closed the secret door and locked it with a dagger.

He quickly ran out of the room and tried to leave the yard, but the person outside the door subconsciously drew his sword to block him.

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What are you doing? You don't even recognize me?"

Several people were slightly startled and immediately put away their swords. "Is the princess going out? Where is the prince?"

As he spoke, he looked into the yard.

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. I'll be back soon. The prince is waiting for me in the room."

But after hearing this, they looked confused and suspicious, and had no intention of letting her go.

"Princess, please go with the prince. It's very dangerous in the wilderness."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, "You won't let me go out?"

Several people lowered their heads, "I'm sorry, Princess."

Jiang Ningwan snorted coldly, and the next moment the palm wind had reached the other party's chest, "Who are you?"

Realizing that Jiang Ningwan had noticed something strange, everyone immediately drew their swords and attacked.

During the fight, Jiang Ningwan whistled.

Soon, a large number of people rushed out from the dark bushes, quickly surrounded them and killed them.

"General!" Xiao Fuxue immediately stepped forward, "Who are these people?"

Jiang Ningwan shook her head. "I don't know. We'll know after we interrogate their leader."

She turned and went back to the room in the yard.

When Xiao Fuxue opened the secret door, a dagger was swung from below, and Jiang Ningwan kicked him down.

Holding the candlestick, he slowly walked down the stairs.

Xiao Fuxue and others drew their swords and followed.

Seeing so many people, the other party immediately panicked and didn't dare to attack again.

Looking at Qin Shuangchi's face, Jiang Ningwan frowned and ordered angrily, "Take off the mask."

The other party could not hide the panic between his brows, and under the threat of the sword, he slowly took off his mask.

What appeared before my eyes was indeed another face.

Feeling cheated, Jiang Ningwan was furious. He drew his sword and slashed at him, "How dare you, you bastard, lie to me!"

"Did you leave the letter too?"

If even the letter is fake, it means that Qin Shuangchi will not appear in Fengyuan City.

I was happy for so long, but it was all in vain.

This made her feel a little upset and angry.

The man was hit in the arm and covered the wound in pain. "What letter? I don't know!"

"When did you find out? My disguise was flawless!"

The man's voice also changed. It was no longer Qin Shuangchi's voice.

Jiang Ningwan was confused. Who on earth were these people?

"The mask and voice are quite real, but fake is fake. How could I not recognize my own husband?"

When they met and hugged each other in the miasma forest, she didn't feel any familiarity.

The letter clearly said not to stay in an inn, but this guy asked them to go back to Fengyuan City and stay in an inn. Qin Shuangchi would not be so disorganized.

More importantly, all his behaviors were very cold, even talking to his subordinates behind her back. Qin Shuangchi would not do that.

Yan Huixue lit the candle in the dark room, and the light illuminated the surroundings. It seemed that someone had lived here for a long time.

It's just rather simple.

Jiang Ningwan brought a chair and sat down. "Who are you? Who sent you here? Why did you disguise yourself as Qin Shuangchi and approach me?"

The man was reluctant to speak.

Yan Huixue pulled out a knife and kicked the man to his knees. "I don't have any other skills, but I'm best at torturing men. I'll use this knife to pick the tendons in your hands and feet, dig out your kneecaps, nose bones, and eyes..."

"I'll make sure you're in so much pain you want to die but can't."

The sinister voice gave the man a chill.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am from the Five Absolute Sect and am good at imitating other people's voices. I have never done anything bad!"

"Someone hired us to hunt down the King of Chu. The body we fished out earlier couldn't be confirmed to be the King of Chu's, but we can't find him anywhere."

"Someone in the capital of Daning State spread the news that the Princess of Chu was coming to the north, so the boss made a plan to capture you and use you to threaten the King of Chu to show up."

"We've deployed spies to monitor several important locations in the North. As soon as you entered Fengyuan City, we received the news and rushed here."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, "That monk from the deserted temple is your spy?"

"Yes."

Jiang Ningwan chuckled. "So you tricked us into going to the miasma forest, and then showed up to save me, making me believe you were Qin Shuangchi? Isn't that a waste of time?"

The other party glanced at the people around him and said, "Your men are all strong in martial arts. I just want to capture you, not fight you. What if I can't defeat you..."
