Shi Sheng came out from behind the rock and looked at the figure that was about to be drowned by the weeds.
He thought for a moment and followed Yan Jinxiu.
Yan Jinxiu seemed to be looking for something here. She walked and stopped, constantly changing her position. Shi Sheng used an invisibility talisman and swaggered behind her.
From time to time, he would make a sound. Yan Jinxiu's servant girl was always on guard.
Yan Jinxiu was probably a little annoyed by the servant girl's state. "Xiao He, can't you calm down?"
"Miss, there's always a sound behind us." Xiao He kept looking back, but there was nothing behind them.
Yan Jinxiu also looked back. There were only traces of their footsteps. There was no one, and she didn't feel anyone's breath.
"It's inevitable that there are some small animals in the forest. Don't be so nervous. Relax." Yan Jinxiu comforted Xiao He.
Xiao He nodded.
Shi Sheng deliberately kicked the weeds next to him. The rustling sound immediately sounded in the forest.
"Miss … Miss, did you see it?" Xiao He asked Yan Jinxiu with a pale face.
Yan Jinxiu's expression froze. She stared at the weeds that had not stopped swaying. She drew a soft sword from her waist and walked over.
"Miss … Miss …"
Yan Jinxiu waved at her, motioning for her not to make a sound.
She carefully walked to the weeds and used the soft sword to pull them apart. There was nothing but wet soil.
The wind blew through the branches, and the sound of insects and birds was clear and pleasant.
Yan Jinxiu looked around vigilantly. She glanced at the swaying weeds again and turned around. "Let's go. There's nothing here."
Shi Sheng followed behind and made some noise from time to time. Yan Jinxiu was not sure if anyone was following her.
Shi Sheng did not do too much. After a few times, he stopped making trouble and quietly followed behind her.
Yan Jinxiu had a map in her hand. She found a cave according to the map, and this place, if she climbed over, would be the place where her carriage fell.
"Wait for me outside." Yan Jinxiu put away the map and ordered Xiao He.
Xiao He was a little scared. "Miss …" She felt so scared here alone.
Yan Jinxiu handed the soft sword to Xiao He. "I'll be out soon."
Shi Sheng followed Yan Jinxiu into the cave. Perhaps no one had entered the cave for many years. It was full of spider webs and some strange plants. Rats, ants, snakes, and insects could be seen from time to time.
The cave had many twists and turns, and there were many branches. Yan Jinxiu stopped to check the map from time to time. After walking for half an hour, she finally entered a larger space.
When Yan Jinxiu was checking the cave, she stepped on something. With a "kacha" sound, countless arrows were shot towards her.
She rolled on the ground and stuck close to the corner of the cave, waiting for the arrow in the mechanism to finish shooting.
Shi Sheng glanced around, picked up a few stones, and threw them at a few places that seemed to be booby traps.
Suddenly, all the traps in the cave were triggered. All kinds of traps appeared. Yan Jinxiu's corner was not spared. It was too late for her to retreat. She could only rely on herself to dodge those traps.
Shi Sheng leaned against the cave outside and watched the female protagonist show off her martial arts skills.
This Female Lead, who appeared ordinary in front of everyone, was actually an expert. Even with so many mechanisms, she only received a few scratches.
This was the so-called "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger".
Yan Jinxiu was very confused. She didn't trigger so many traps just now. How could all the traps be activated at the same time?
Finally, the traps stopped. Yan Jinxiu leaned against the rock in the corner and gasped for breath.
After resting for a while, Yan Jinxiu walked to the middle of the cave. She groped on the ground and pulled out an iron chain. She looked happy and got up to pull the iron chain.
Shi Sheng felt a vibration under the ground. It was the sound of the iron chain and the gears rubbing against each other.
As Yan Jinxiu pulled, the rock on the left suddenly began to move, revealing a larger space.
The first thing she saw was the pile of gold in the middle. It was as high as a small hill.
Yan Jinxiu released the iron chain and entered. She didn't look at the gold. Instead, she went straight to the mural behind the gold mountain.
There were many people in different postures on the mural. There were also words beside them.
This should be a set of swordsmanship and mental cultivation method.
Did the female protagonist come here for this?
Yan Jinxiu quickly looked at the mural. She probably remembered it in her heart. Then, she looked for something to destroy some key points.
Shi Sheng silently watched Yan Jinxiu's actions. After she destroyed the mural, she retreated and pulled the iron chain again. The rock moved and closed.
Yan Jinxiu quickly left the cave. Shi Sheng waited for a while. When Yan Jinxiu was almost out of the cave, he went to pull the iron chain.
The wealth here was not limited to the gold mountain. The space was very big. There were all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry. She didn't know who had looted here.
Shi Sheng put everything into the space and left the cave.
Yan Jinxiu was no longer outside. She turned to the side and looked. Yan Jinxiu and Xiao He were standing by the carriage's corpse. They were far away. Shi Sheng didn't know what they were talking about.
At this moment, the sound of fighting came from afar. A few figures shot out of the forest. There was a murderous aura.
There was only one person being chased. If Shi Sheng wasn't wrong, that person should be the male protagonist, Duan Muqi.
He was 1.8 meters tall and wore a black brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns. It shone brightly as it swayed.
He held a sharp sword in his hand. When he waved it, there seemed to be a tangible air current. It surged towards the person opposite him. He would definitely kill the person in one hit.
He was like a killing god on the battlefield. Just one look was enough to make people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
He was indeed a domineering prince.
Shi Sheng found a place to sit down. He ate melon seeds and watched the male protagonist torture the assassins.
Shi Sheng thought that the male protagonist would be injured in the end and be saved by the female protagonist. But until the end, it was the male protagonist who tortured the group of assassins.
So the male protagonist was just showing off his strength in front of the female protagonist?
"Miss Yan, why are you here?" Duan Muqi's sharp gaze swept towards Yan Jinxiu.
Yan Jinxiu's expression now looked a little weak. Her face was pale, as if she had been frightened by what had just happened. "Greetings, Royal Prince. The Princess Royal was assassinated and her carriage fell off the cliff. I split up with everyone to look for her. We found the Princess Royal's carriage here, but we couldn't find the Princess Royal."
Duan Muqi already knew about Yan Jinxiu's little tricks. He found it funny that she was pretending to be harmless in front of him. He said ambiguously, "Is that so?"
Yan Jinxiu felt that she hated Duan Muqi. Because she felt that in front of Duan Muqi, her disguise was useless.
"Yes." Yan Jinxiu lowered her head. Her long hair fell down and blocked her view.
"With the imperial guards here, why did Miss Yan come down personally?" Duan Muqi seemed to want to tear apart Yan Jinxiu's disguise.
Yan Jinxiu cursed silently. She didn't dare to change her expression. "The Princess Royal is missing. His Majesty will definitely be furious. How can the people accompanying her leave safely?"
