Master Liang's smug tone clearly made Lei Jiang uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. She could only say coldly, "I know, I will bring it over in a moment. It is best if you don't play any tricks. Master has said that you must see the item in half a month at the latest. Otherwise … even if you have the emperor behind you, it is useless! "
Master Liang's smug laughter stopped. After a while, he finally said, "I know, do not worry. I know the relationship between the Prince and your master. I am not someone who does not know the limits. As long as you give me the token, I promise to deliver the item to you when we reach Nanzhao. "
"That would be best!" Lei Jiang said. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. The room finally returned to silence. Only Master Liang's slightly muffled breathing could be heard.
What to do? The four stood in a hidden corner. Han Mingxi signaled with his eyes to Sickly Scholar. Sickly Scholar lowered his eyes. A dark smile flashed across his already dark face. Han Mingxi's body trembled as she looked pitifully at Master Liang, who was pacing back and forth anxiously. I wonder what kind of torture this old man will be subjected to?
A short while later, Lei Jiang's footsteps sounded again. Lei Jiang, who had returned to the room, threw a small wooden box to Master Liang with a dark expression. "I have already ordered people to deal with those four people. You have the item. In a moment, I will send someone to send you to the capital of Nanzhao." Master Liang opened the box and looked inside. He nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, since this is the case, we will not waste time. Where are my steward and guards? " Lei Jiang snorted disdainfully. "Your steward's legs are still weak and can't walk. As for that guard, he is even more useless. When he came down, he fell off the cliff. The people of the Central Plains are useless! "
"You!" Master Liang suppressed his anger and said, "I know, send me to Nanzhao as soon as possible."
"Very good." Lei Jiang nodded in satisfaction. "Rest first, we will depart soon."
Outside the hall, Ye Li glanced at Han Mingxi. Han Mingxi shook his head silently. There were indeed many corpses at the bottom of the cliff, but they were all bones that had been exposed to the wind and rain for many days. Zheng Kui's body was not among them. Most likely, Zheng Kui didn't slip and fall off the cliff. Instead, he was killed by these Southern Wilderness people.
Sickly Scholar wasn't in a hurry to do anything to Master Liang. This was because the two Southern Jiang people who were poisoned to death by Sickly Scholar had already been discovered. The originally quiet underground palace suddenly became noisy. Master Liang left under the protection of many guards. Ye Li and the other three could only split up to avoid being searched by the guards and prepare to leave. An San naturally went with Ye Li. Han Mingxi could only follow Sickly Scholar unwillingly.
"Young Master, we …"
Ye Li shook her head and said, "Let's not leave yet. Let's go in and take a look." Without Sickly Scholar and Han Mingxi in the way, it would be easier for them to act. He carefully sneaked into the depths of the underground palace. This underground palace wasn't too big. It was only divided into seven or eight rooms. The two of them searched through all the rooms, but they didn't find anything useful. Finally, they stared at the room in the deepest part of the room. Unlike the other rooms, this room's door was tightly shut. There were two Southern Wilderness people standing guard at the door with weapons in their hands. Ye Li glanced at An San and skillfully made a hand gesture: You left, I'll right!
An San nodded. The two lightly approached the door. Then, at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, they restrained the two guards. An San silently twisted the other person's neck. Ye Li looked at the unconscious person in her hand. She frowned and placed the person in a hidden place. Looking at the lock on the door, Ye Li frowned. She took out a golden hairpin from her sleeve and gently twisted it. She pulled out a sharp golden needle from the golden hairpin and twisted it a few times in the keyhole. With a kacha sound, the lock was opened. Ye Li nodded to An San who was in the dark. She pushed open the door and flashed through the door. An San vigilantly squatted in the dark and watched the movements all around. After a while, Ye Li flashed out from inside and locked the door again.
Probably because Han Mingxi and Sickly Scholar's group attracted too many forces, Ye Li and An San clearly felt that the number of people searching was much less than before. Along the way, they followed the markings that Han Mingxi secretly left. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the two saw the light of the cave entrance in front. But at the same time, there was still a distance from the cave entrance and they could already smell the dangerous fragrance of flowers coming from outside. It was exactly the same as the fragrance of the flowers on the mountain. An San took out a few pills and handed them to Ye Li. Ye Li crushed them and put them under her nose to smell. She whispered with a smile, "Where did you get these from Sickly Scholar?" Without outsiders present, An San's expression became a lot more lively. With a slightly proud smile, she said, "That's right, he has too many poisons on him. I was afraid of making a mistake so I didn't dare take more. This is the kind of medicine he gave us before. It can last for about half an hour. "
"Great." The two people each took a pill for a quarter of an hour. An San took the lead and walked to the cave entrance to take a look. Only then did she turn around and beckoned to Ye Li. The two carefully flashed out of the cave entrance but were stunned by the scene in front of them. In front of them was a vast expanse of bright red. The cave entrance was less than two meters below the cliff. At the bottom of the valley, there were all big red flowers blooming. Moreover, almost every flower had a red and black snake coiled around it. There were even some that climbed and wandered on the flower branches. Ye Li could finally understand Han Mingxi's mood when he couldn't help but curse when he came down. This damned place really made people feel a chill in their bones. However, the exit was in such a dangerous place. It wasn't arrogant of the Southern Border people to not have to be on guard.
"Can we go over?" Ye Li pointed to the cliff and asked.
An San looked and nodded, "It shouldn't be a problem."
"Be careful. If you fall, no one can save you." As long as they fell into the sea of flowers, they would be swallowed by the flowers and snakes in an instant. An San frowned, "How will young master go over?" He could use qinggong to fly over, but he definitely couldn't bring someone over. Young master's qinggong probably wasn't enough for him to fly over. The terrain here was too low and ropes couldn't be used. If he wasn't careful, he could be bitten by the snakes that could jump up at any time. Ye Li helplessly sighed, "This broken place really gives people a headache. However, if we can get out, this adventure is worth it. You go over first. I'll go another way. "
An San didn't move. Although he knew that wang fei was very strong, he really couldn't see any other way. It wasn't safe to stay here. Although there was no one here now, it didn't mean that no one would come.
Looking at An San's stubbornness, Ye Li helplessly waved her hand, "Forget it. I'll go over first. You stay here and watch. After I go over, you can go over. I really don't know why you guys are so stubborn. "An San said in a deep voice," We are young master's Shadow Guard. Naturally, we should put young master's Shadow Guard first. "Ye Li rolled her eyes at the sky," Thanks. It would be better if you had more confidence in me. "
It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that Ye Li climbed out of the cave. Using the dagger in her hand, she climbed up the cliff. Before she climbed a bit, she would look down at An San who was following behind her and ask, "What are you doing?" An San said in a deep voice, "I'm with young master."
