After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

If he can make all these people die here, and even have Jun Lanjin buried with him, then his life will not have been in vain!

Lai Xiao's smile gradually blossomed in the dimly lit passage.

Upon arriving at the first entrance, the group found two passages, one on the left and one on the right.

Xie Xing spoke up without hesitation, "Go to the left."

Lai Xiao's smile froze.

He looked at the people in front of him in disbelief.

What a coincidence! It must be a coincidence!

He didn't believe she'd dodged it the first time, so he tried the second, the third, the fifth...

Continue walking to the left, and the road will be clear and unobstructed.

Lai Xiao finally stopped laughing.

He finally discovered the problem.

Lai Xiao fixed his gloomy gaze on Xie Xing.

This woman!

This damn woman!

He's going to kill her!

Everything changed because of this woman.

If it weren't for her, the princess's identity wouldn't have been discovered so quickly. At that time, she could have worked with the Xie family from the inside to deal a heavy blow to the dog emperor.

If I had known, I shouldn't have taken pity on her because she was a little girl and let her become a threat!

She should have been killed back then!

Lai Xiao was so angry that she almost bit her gums raw.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Luo Hanfeng, Xie Mingzhu, and others also arrived at this mountain.

Their arrival location was completely different from Xie Xing and the others.

Unlike Xie Xing, who circled around several times before finding the entrance, with Grand Tutor Gu's guidance, the group quickly found it.

However, upon seeing the destruction of the rocks at the entrance, Grand Tutor Gu's expression changed slightly.

He strode to the rock and peered inside. "How could someone have destroyed this rock?!"

Xie Mingzhu came up behind Grand Tutor Gu, glanced at the entrance, and said, "Could it be that someone got here before us?"

Grand Tutor Gu's expression changed drastically.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "No, no, that's impossible."

"This road is hidden; no one would ever think of coming here."

"Moreover..." Grand Tutor Gu glanced inside with a sinister look before saying, "There are many traps inside, and the passage is only wide enough for one person to pass at a time. There is no way to escape the traps inside."

"If you take the wrong path, you'll end up dead!"

"Maybe they are people who escaped separately from us and have returned here."

Grand Tutor Gu comforted himself with this thought, and said, "No matter what, let's go in and take a look first."

Luo Hanfeng stood there in silence for a while before speaking, "If someone comes... how should we escape?"

Grand Tutor Gu flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Even if someone manages to get in, we still have tens of thousands of troops inside. Let them go in alive, but they won't come out dead!"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Hanfeng believed Grand Tutor Gu's words.

The three followed them inside.

Their route was the same as Xie Xing's and the others'.

But by this time, Xie Xing and the others had already come out.

Standing atop the cliff's edge, they looked down and indeed saw a large camp below, with countless people practicing swordsmanship and spear fighting in an orderly fashion.

You can hear powerful sounds coming from within these mountains.

Jun Lanjin narrowed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, looked down at the scene below, and said in a low voice, "With a scale like this, there must be at least tens of thousands of private soldiers."

“No wonder…” Xie Yuze murmured.

Lai Xiao was trembling all over. He glanced at Xie Xing with a dark look in his eyes. "I didn't expect that someone would actually find it. There are traps inside. No one who has never been in there before could know the trick to getting through alive. Who exactly are you?!"

Xie Xing's heart skipped a beat.

They were only thinking about creating problems for Luo Hanfeng, but they didn't consider this huge point of suspicion.

Lai Xiao laughed twice, "If you were just an ordinary young lady, how would you know so much?"

"What a coincidence! What a coincidence that you know the way out of the compound?!"

Lai Xiao seemed to have finally figured out something about Xie Xing. She turned to Jun Lanjin and Xie Yuze and said loudly, "This woman is definitely not simple. Do you still want to believe her?"

"Hahaha, maybe he's some kind of spy who's after Shengda!"

He thought that although these words wouldn't immediately arouse suspicion in Jun Lanjin and Xie Yuze, they would at least be a little concerned and question her about how she knew.

But both of them just stared at him in silence.

After a long pause, Jun Lanjin lowered his head, casually straightened his sleeves, and said, "Xing'er has always been lucky and intelligent. Why should I doubt her?"

"Besides, haven't I already found this private army?"

Jun Lanjin glanced at Lai Xiao with a half-smile.

Needless to say, Xie Yuze is another one.

He looked at Lai Xiao as if he were a fool. "Xie Xing is my own sister. If I don't trust her, why would I trust you?"

"Who do you think you are?"

Lai Xiao: "..."

He looked at the two of them in disbelief.

Especially Jun Lanjin.

Is this still the legendary Prince Jin, who is suspicious, strategist, and has everything under control, not allowing any variables to exist?

With such obvious suspicious points, how could he not have the slightest doubt and just believe Xie Xing like that?!

Xie Xing listened to the two men's conversation, nodding as he spoke.

【That’s right. 】

Knowing the result is enough; the process is unimportant!

However, Lai Xiao quickly retorted angrily, "So what if you know?"

"The guards here are heavily guarded, and they change shifts every half hour. Someone will be here soon."

"How can you possibly fight against tens of thousands of troops?!"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as Lai Xiao finished speaking, a patrol team arrived.

When the patrol team looked in their direction, their eyes widened instantly, and as they raised their spears, Jun Lanjin raised his hand.

His bodyguards moved like lightning, arriving at the patrol team's side with incredible speed.

A few quick swishes.

Those men didn't even have time to make a move before their necks were slashed open.

"Well!"

A team of six people all fell down at once.

Jun Lanjin lowered his hand and turned to look at Lai Xiao.

He said nothing, but everything was understood without words.

Lai Xiao: "..."

Lai Xiao opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't even know what to say.

The group changed out of their patrol uniforms and disguised themselves.

The remaining person kept Lai Xiao under guard deep in the mountains to prevent him from causing trouble.

Xie Xing looked down, feeling a little intimidated. She took two steps back. "I don't really need to go do this, do I?"

She doesn't understand, so going there would be pointless and even dangerous for her life.

His back shoulder pressed against Jun Lanjin's armored chest.

Jun Lanjin raised his head, looked down into the distance, and said calmly, "Stay with us, that's the safest option."

I feel most at ease when I have something right under my nose.

Otherwise, if any unforeseen circumstances arise, it will be too late.

Jun Lanjin's demeanor is such that even when he's wearing the armor of a common soldier, he looks like a general.
