Shi Jinchen arrived at the agreed location on time last night, and Jian Qiuying had indeed been waiting here since a long time ago.
"You really did come. I was not wrong about you." A man dressed in black clothes stood on a branch. His tone was still cold, but now it seemed as if he was somewhat satisfied.
"Cut the crap." Shi Jinchen did not want to waste any more words with him, and immediately dismounted, "Yesterday, did the words in your paper count or not?"
Jian Qiuying glanced at him sideways, "Of course, if you want to save him, then come with me." After saying that, he jumped up from the tree branch and dashed into the dense branches in front of him. He did not seem to be worried that the people behind him would not be able to keep up.
He then rode the horse and led the group of elite guards behind him to follow him. The road became more and more deviated with each turn, and with the Jian Qiuying leading them, they actually arrived in front of a firm stone wall with vines wrapped around it. It was very normal, but this was clearly a path to death!
"What do you mean, you want to break the contract?" Seeing that the black clothed man had brought him to a dead end, Shi Jinchen took out a soft whip from his waist.
He quickly stepped forward, and started to feel around the stone wall. No one knew what action he took, but after a moment, the stone wall actually gave a response, and he discovered that it was a hidden door!
"Follow me." Jian Qiuying's tone was cold and indifferent, as if he was unwilling to have too much to say to others. Shi Jinchen was at a loss for words, he knew that he had acted like a petty person just now, and thus, without saying a word, he entered the secret passage.
"Prince, it's a rut mark!" The guard's cry of surprise suddenly came from the front. Shi Jinchen naturally noticed it too, and beneath his feet were two ruts, the horse carriage which suddenly disappeared into thin air had actually entered broken sword cliff through this secret pathway.
No wonder his subordinates could not find any information on the broken sword cliff. It turned out that he had concealed it so well. The ground was extremely moist, and water droplets occasionally dripped down from the top of his head. Shi Jinchen brushed the water droplets off his head in disgust, and he sneered.
"If you keep walking forward, you will be able to exit this secret passageway. Whether you can save Yue Hua will depend on your ability." He had already brought along Shi Jinchen and the rest of his men for so long. If he were to continue to stay here, he would definitely be discovered by the others in the valley.
"Humph, inform your Thief Head, quickly hand over the Xiao Sui. I might consider making his death look better." He was confident that he would be able to escape with his Xiao Sui.
After listening to his words, Jian Qiuying gave him a cold glance. It had to be said that although this Fourth Prince seemed to be extremely confident, he might really be able to take Yue Hua away.
Shi Jinchen thought for a bit, and then let the large group of people find a place to hide themselves after coming out of the cave, leaving only a small portion of them to go with him to investigate. Once he found Xiao Sui, he would release Firestar Stone for the rest of the troops to come and support him.
After making such arrangements, the guards stealthily left the cave without a sound. After splitting into two teams, one group closely followed Shi Jinchen while the other large group hid themselves among the rocks.
At this time, Xiao Sui still did not know that Shi Jinchen and the rest had already entered the broken sword cliff under the secret guidance of Jian Qiuying. She was still locked in the stone room, and it could be said that she was completely unaware of the news from the outside world.
Therefore, when Autumn appeared in front of her that night, she was not surprised at all. "Didn't you say that you couldn't be served? What are you doing here? Are you joking with me? " Xiao Sui purposely looked away from autumn, as if he was a stranger.
Nightfall pursed his lips and said hoarsely, "Lord Left Protector ordered me to bring Master out for a walk."
"Going out for a walk?" Xiao Sui looked suspiciously at Late Autumn, obviously not believing this explanation.
"Late autumn is loyal to Left Protector and Master, he will not lie to you."
"Oh?" Xiao Sui suddenly sneered, "Aren't you deceiving me with a lot of things? Do you think I'll fall for it? " She then turned around, "If it was really Jian Qiuying that sent you here to see me, then what about him? Why didn't he come to me himself? "
"Lord Protector has matters to take care of, so he asked this subordinate to come and invite him in his place." Late autumn endured the bitterness in his heart, and still insisted on letting Xiao Sui follow her out.
Looking at the opened stone door, Xiao Sui was slightly moved, but she was more afraid that this was a trap, or perhaps that Ke Zheng was the one who wanted to plot against her.
"Xiao Sui." Nightfall suddenly said.
"W-what?" When he suddenly heard the familiar name in the latter part of the autumn, Xiao Sui was in a bit of a daze. It had been a long time since anyone had called out to him like that in this stone room of the broken sword cliff.
"Master, please trust me this time." Master, please trust me this time. As she spoke, she kneeled down heavily in front of Xiao Sui. The sound of her knee hitting the stone was exceptionally ear-piercing.
"Hey, why are you kneeling down!" The Xiao Sui jumped in fright from Wan Qiu's actions, and hurriedly tried to help her up. "I believe you, I believe you! Why do you still keep on kneeling down?
"Xiao Sui... Master, thank you. " When she raised her head late autumn, tears had actually flowed down her face.
"Come with me." After drying her tears, it seemed like she didn't want to delay any longer. She had just used the Left Protector's name to send away the assassins and servants, but this group of people could come back at any time after they discovered that something was wrong.
She tightly held onto Xiao Sui's right hand, and with a tap of her feet, she jumped down from the stone door.
AHH!" The little tassel cried out in alarm, thinking for a moment that he had fallen off the cliff again. "She only realized that the chamber she was in was halfway up the mountain. The moment she stepped out, it was like a mountain stream. For those who knew lightness skills, going up and down was as natural as going up the mountain. For those who didn't know lightness skills, going up was like ascending the sky.
Who thought of such a vile idea, to place a house in the middle of a mountain, did they really think of themselves as birds? Even if this person's qinggong is so good, why not live on a tree … She would never have imagined that this stone chamber was built by a craftsman from the cliff that she had asked for. Now that she had lost her memories and complained about it, it was truly decades.
The two of them had performed quite well with their lightness skills, and their Xiao Sui s had been leveled as if they were walking on flat ground when they went down the mountain. The two of them stepped on the protruding rocks to jump down, and very quickly, their feet stepped on flat ground.
After landing, Xiao Sui took the opportunity to look around, and realized that the broken sword cliff Mountain Stone was towering, without a single blade of grass growing, and other than the tall parasol tree planted beside her stone room, there was nothing much to look at. She couldn't help but be a little perplexed, autumn said that Jian Qiuying had asked her to bring me out for a walk, but this place did not have any trees outside of the stone room watching over it.
