Ning Chao's voice was not very loud, but it made people feel a strong murderous aura. Those people didn't dare to say much at the moment, and rushed out.

Zou Meng also finished everything at this time.

He didn't even look at the direction of the apse, but at Ning Chao.

Ning Chao didn't speak, nor looked at the direction of the apse, waved his hand and made a move.

Everyone in the Ming Palace who was present knew what this gesture meant.

That is: Withdraw!

At this time, Zou Meng asked with hindsight, "Is Mu Doctor also in the back hall?"

Ning Chao nodded, but Zou Meng was puzzled: "Don't care about him?"

"Are you going to question the prince's order?" Ning Chao didn't answer a rhetorical question, his tone of coldness was obvious.

In fact, he didn't want to talk to Zou Meng like this, but his heart was also hanging. The situation he saw when he entered the apse just now made him uneasy, and things exceeded the prince's expectations!

But now, he couldn't report to the prince at all. Ning Chao was also a little panicked at this time, but he couldn't panic.

Zou Meng was very upset, but since it was Bei Mingxuan's order, he really couldn't question it. He just snorted, then glared at Ning Chao, and then left the hall with someone.

Ning Chao didn't care about Zou Meng's stare at all. He just looked worriedly in the back hall. For a long time, he turned around and went out without hesitation.

Ruan Jiujiu coaxed Zhao Zhifu to go deep into the tunnel, and the more she went, the more she felt that her idea was correct, because Zhao Zhifu was obviously very familiar with the tunnel.

There was no way to go, but under the guidance of Zhao Zhifu, there was no way to go.

This suffices to show that Zhao Zhifu really has a secret to dig, and Bei Mingxuan has been following along too, which shows this even more!

Ruan Jiujiu was suddenly a little excited. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the anxious and sweaty Zhao Zhifu: "Master Zhao, are you this year?"

Zhao Zhifu was in a state of chaos. He suddenly heard Ruan Jiujiu ask him, but he was still such a thoughtless sentence. He was taken aback, but he didn't dare not answer: "There are forty out of three in the next year."

"Forty-three years old, it is the prime year. At this age of Mr. Zhao, the family is also very prosperous?" Ruan Jiujiu seemed to be chatting, "How many wives, sons and daughters?"

Zhao Zhifu felt that Ruan Jiujiu was a bit inexplicable, but he dared not answer.

"Xiaguan has only one wife and three concubines, and only five children."

One wife and three concubines, just five children?

Ruan Jiujiu really wanted to slap the fat and big-eared guy on his dead hand. She thinks of monogamy and thinks that Zhao Zhima is a big scumbag!

Twitching the corner of her mouth and holding back the slap she was about to shoot, she asked again: "Your Madam must be a virtuous and virtuous person. Actually, this princess likes children the most. It's better to let Mrs. Zhao take your family. The child came to see this princess?"

Like kids? Zhifu Zhao said in a cold sweat: "That's not good for the princess. The wife and children of the official are not in Ningzhou City."

"Oh? Where is that?" Ruan Jiujiu looked at Zhao Zhifu with a quiet look.

Zhifu Zhao subconsciously wanted to blurt out an answer, but a cold voice rushed in front of him.

"Zhao Qian's wife and children are both in the capital. His wife Feng was born in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. It is said that when he was young, he still had handkerchiefs with General Ruan's wife Xiao Clan!"

The amount of information in these few sentences was so great that Ruan Jiujiu's heart suddenly tightened.

She just asked Zhao Zhifu just pretending to be chatting, not because she was bored, but trying to find out about Zhao Zhifu's secrets.

Since Zhifu Zhao is far from being as simple as she saw, and even a key figure, then starting from him is another way.

What is Bei Mingxuan robbing? And also told her so much!

Zhao Qian? It must be the name of Zhao Zhifu! And the house of Zhongyong Hou Mansion?

Ruan Jiujiu was now very upset that the original owner lived in the noble circle of Kyoto but didn't know anything. She tried hard to recall, but she had no impression of any Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and the surname Zhao...

Zhongyong Hou's Mansion is very honorable when it sounds like a famous head. Zhao Qian's wife is from such a noble background, so Zhao Zhifu, Zhao Qian, must also have an unusual background, but she also has no impression.

So what Bei Mingxuan told her was completely useless!

But why is he so kind suddenly? No, he is definitely not kind!

Ruan Jiujiu hadn't heard Bei Mingxuan's words, his face was cold, but Zhao Zhifu was sweating all over.

Although he was born in the Zhao clan, he was only a dark game. He grew up living away from the center of the Zhao clan since he was a child. Even his official position was learned through hard work by himself. On the bright side, he has never used the power of his family.

And his wife Fengshi was indeed from the Hou Mansion, but she was just an offshoot.

Of course, all this is just to hide his identity. Even his name and hidden characters also mean hidden and unshakable. His existence is also to be used by the family emperor one day.

But why does Bei Mingxuan actually know?

He is a first-rank prince, how could he put his eyes on a small local official like him, not to mention that he actually knew that his wife was from the Houfu!

Zhao Qian felt cold in his heart, faintly feeling that what he thought was a good thing to hide seemed to be just his self-righteousness.

Ruan Jiujiu didn't intend to ask any more, anyway, no matter what kind of information she asked, the information she asked would lose its meaning because of her lack of information from all parties.

What's more, she didn't want to lead Bei Mingxuan's love.

She pushed Zhao Qian a bit, and asked impatiently, "Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Zhao Qian trembled all over, his eyes sank, and suddenly he looked forward, revealing a strange look in his eyes.

Of course Ruan Jiujiu noticed and stared at him closely.

Zhao Qian said: "Just ahead!"

The place he was referring to was a door, a door that even people like Ruan Jiujiu who didn't understand mechanical skills could see.

This is a bright door!

Ruan Jiujiu dragged Zhao Qian to the door quickly. Zhao Qian was obviously resisting, but Ruan Jiujiu's strength was not what he could resist.

He was pulled to the door by Ruan Jiujiuqiang.

Bei Mingxuan also followed, and even further away, Qianyin also quietly followed, but did not dare to get too close.

She faintly felt that something bad would happen.

"What's behind this door?" Ruan Jiujiu asked Zhao Qian coldly.

Zhao Qian seemed to be extremely frightened and wanted to stop Ruan Jiujiu: "There is nothing behind this. The next official persuaded the princess to go back!"

"Are you stupid to be this girl? Tell me now that there is nothing in it? Just looking at your nervousness makes people feel unreliable!" Ruan Jiujiu grinned back, she really felt that Zhao Qian's brain was wrong. , Tell her to go back now?

Why did you go?

Zhao Qian shrank his neck, his fat face looked a little shrinking, and he said helplessly: "What the official said is true!"

Ruan Jiujiu slapped it over: "Let's open the door for me!"

Zhao Qian was obviously frightened by the light of Ruan Jiujiu's fingertips. He dared not say anything, and hurried to open the organ.

Ruan Jiujiu watched Zhao Qian's movements seriously, but unfortunately, she heard the sound of opening the door and couldn't understand how Zhao Qian opened it.

The door opened slowly, so Ruan Jiujiu soon saw a black hole in front of him, and the inside of the door was also dark.

Ruan Jiujiu now believes that there must be something behind the door, but in fact she just thinks this thing is weird and secret, but she can't imagine what will happen after she comes out.

She subconsciously glanced at Bei Mingxuan behind her.

He stood there with a cold expression, Ruan Jiujiu looked at his expression and immediately felt annoyed.

She stepped forward, her fingertips flashed lightly, and said to Zhao Qian, "Go ahead!"

Zhao Qian looked scared, but in front of a stronger force than him, he could only give in.

Zhao Qian walked in, Ruan Jiujiu also stepped up to follow closely. Since Zhao Qian is leading, she is not afraid of any trap.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Bei Mingxuan followed.

After the three entered the door, behind the door was a dark room with a pearl embedded in the ceiling, so there was light in the room, but it was extremely dim. Ruan Jiujiu had no lights on his hands, so it took a long time to get used to seeing the whole dark room.

But it was an empty dark room!

Ruan Jiujiu stared at Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian shrunk his shoulders, stepped back two steps, leaned his back against the wall, and said innocuously: "Xiaguan said that there is nothing in it."

"You are so foolish as the princess?" Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and snorted. "If you take the princess here, you tell me that this is an empty dark room and there is nothing? You think this princess is so funny?"

Zhao Qian didn't panic right now, his eyes stopped for a moment on Bei Mingxuan behind Ruan Jiujiu, and he said in a low voice: "This is indeed what the princess sees, there is nothing, and the lower officials don't know what the secret is here. , Maybe the prince knows."

Bei Mingxuan?

Ruan Jiujiu looked at him and wanted to say that he was familiar with this tunnel. Except for Zhao Qian, it was Bei Mingxuan. She strayed into the tunnel before and met Bei Mingxuan and Ning Chao. The two of them were very familiar with the tunnel. .

Zhao Qian said again: "I really don't know the next official. I only know that there is a dark room here. But what is the specific situation and what secrets are there? The next official really doesn't know. This is all the next official knows ."

Zhao Qian spoke frankly, and now his life is in Ruan Jiujiu's hands, there seems to be no reason to lie to her.

But Ruan Jiujiu felt that not only Bei Mingxuan was not credible now, but Zhao Qian was also not credible.

The reason she couldn't judge was that she knew too little information.

All this is because of Bei Mingxuan, who lied to her from beginning to end!

Ruan Jiujiu was annoyed, and turned his head to Bei Mingxuan said, "Master, you know here..."

She didn't finish asking a word, Bei Mingxuan suddenly stretched out her long arms and grabbed her. Ruan Jiujiu was about to retreat subconsciously, but as soon as she retreated, she felt a force coming from behind!
