Jun Xiqing stretched her hand out, plucking a red bean.
She suddenly had a bold thought. Deep in his heart … was there a woman?
Jun Xiqing gripped the red bean in her hand tightly and stepped out of the secret tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel was a high ground. Jun Xiqing walked out of the tunnel, the cold wind blowing against her face.
She stood on the high ground and looked down. She could see the entire Country A.
Standing here, Country A shrunk in her eyes. It was as if she had this country under her feet.
She could imagine Lu Yeming standing there with his back crossed, the wild ambition and disdain in his deep, almond-shaped eyes. That man was born to be a king.
Jun Xiqing slowly lifted her eyes. She saw a palace in front of her. "Ah Da, where is that?"
She pointed a finger.
"Master, although Country A is divided by the four dukes, there is an ancient palace in Country A and a king lives there. All these years, the four dukes have been expanding their territory, but they still don't dare to barge into this palace and claim to be the king. Legend has it that this king is the true ruler. He has a pair of eyes that seem to come from the abyss. He can spy on everyone's ambitions in the dark, making it impossible for anyone to hide."
Jun Xiqing smiled faintly.
She was an atheist, she didn't believe in such things.
"Master, let's leave Country A quickly. The Wuling Iron Steed Troop is already waiting at the pier," Ah Da said.
Jun Xiqing felt a little cold. She suddenly felt that she hadn't even seen 30% of West Duke's true colors after interacting with him for so long.
She seemed to have touched a forbidden spot in his heart through this secret tunnel today.
In a country like Country A, where people played with power, there was still an ancient and mysterious palace. It was really treacherous.
Now that Country Z had been taken over by Lei Ze and the Jun family had become fugitives, she didn't have much power on her own. If she got involved in this power struggle, she would only be at the mercy of others.
"Ah Da," Jun Xiqing suddenly called out.
"Master, what is it?"
Jun Xiqing said calmly, "I have a bad feeling today. I feel like I won't be able to leave the moment I stepped into Country A. Put my brother down. I'll leave with him separately."
"Master, what do you mean?"
Jun Xiqing's eyes sparkled. "I will place my brother in the safest place."
As she spoke, her voice softened. "In this chaotic world, I always have a way to ensure the safety and reunion of my family."
…
West Palace.
Lu Yeming rushed back with Fan Men. Seeing the unconscious servant in the living room, Fan Men's expression changed. "Duke."
Stretching out his long legs, Lu Yeming ran upstairs.
When they arrived at the door, Fan Men wanted to follow them in but Lu Yeming raised his hand, gesturing for him to stop.
Fan Men quickly retreated to the door respectfully.
Lu Yeming walked inside.
The door to the secret room had already been opened.
Lu Yeming's handsome face turned frosty as he entered the secret room.
The secret room was very quiet, his steady footsteps echoed in the room. His deep almond-shaped eyes scanned the darkness, Jun Chulin had already disappeared.
But he didn't care. His brows didn't even twitch as he quickened his footsteps to the red beans.
When he saw that these red beans were still erupting with raging flames and weren't damaged in the slightest, his frosty expression eased up a bit.
The soil on one of the red beans had loosened.
Squatting down, he stretched out his large hands to gather the soil on both sides. When he lowered his eyes, his gaze was focused and gentle …
…
At the pier.
Jun Xiqing and Ah Da stood on the steps, accompanied by the twelve lieutenants of the Wuling Iron Steed Troop. This was the soul of the entire Wuling Iron Steed Troop.
In the cold night, Ah Da asked one of the lieutenants, "Why isn't Ah Xiao here yet? Why is she always dropping the ball at such an important time?"
"Brother." At this moment, a sweet voice rang out. Ah Xiao ran over hurriedly.
"Ah Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Ah Da reprimanded her coldly.
"Brother, my stomach hurts so I'm a little late. Don't scold me." Ah Xiao tugged at Ah Da's sleeve coquettishly.
"Ah Da, forget it. Let's get out of here quickly." Jun Xiqing turned back to look at the road they had come from. It was pitch-black behind them and the cold fog permeated the air, exuding an eerie aura.
She seemed to have smelled … the scent of blood.
"Master, please board the boat," Ah Da said respectfully.
Jun Xiqing lifted her feet and walked forward.
She had just taken a step when she heard a sound. It was the sound of a sharp knife piercing through flesh. It was subtle but exceptionally clear, making one's scalp go numb.
Jun Xiqing turned back, only to see a sharp knife in Ah Da's heart. The knife had pierced through Ah Da's heart from behind.
The person holding the knife was … Ah Xiao.
Ah Da turned around, looking at Ah Xiao in disbelief. "Ah Xiao, you …"
The innocent look on Ah Xiao's pretty face faded away, revealing a sinister expression. "Brother, you should be happy. You died a worthy death. Very soon, I'll become the West Duke's consort."
Ah Da spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
"Ah Da!"
Jun Xiqing screamed, quickly reaching out to catch Ah Da's falling body.
She reached out her little hand and pressed on the position of Ah Da's heart. Hot blood flowed between her fingers and burned her skin.
Ah Da looked at Jun Xiqing. He wanted to speak, but before he could say a word, he had already breathed his last.
Ah Da didn't even close his eyes at the moment of his death.
Tears welled up in Jun Xiqing's eyes as big drops of tears fell. Ah Da had been with her for so many years, he was her closest kin.
"Ah!"
She hugged Ah Da and screamed in pain. She clenched her blood-stained hands and slowly lifted her eyes to look at Ah Xiao.
"He's your biological brother. He's your biological brother!"
Ah Xiao revealed a look of disdain. "He's my biological brother, but he's just a dog by your side!"
At this moment, a few bright headlights shone over and a few bulletproof luxury cars appeared in the darkness.
The luxury car at the front stopped and Fan Men respectfully opened the back door. The first to alight was a pair of heavy black military boots, followed by a pair of long legs. He wore a black leather jacket with a black turtleneck shirt inside, revealing a handsome face.
Lu Yeming had arrived.
His face was cold and emotionless. Only his deep almond-shaped eyes were like the eyes of an eagle in the night sky. He slowly lifted his head, landing on her tear-stained face.
