After all, they were in the mansion, and it seemed that the torrential rain wouldn't stop for a while.
Furthermore, the black-robed man appeared again yesterday, causing Lin Chuyue to have no choice but to be on guard against him.
However, they did not have the slightest understanding of this mansion. If some irresistible factor were to appear, it would be impossible for them to find a place to stay.
"Uncle Li, you have taken care of all of our lives."
Lin Chuyue's words were a little too serious, but if he didn't, she couldn't let the Uncle Li tell her his secret.
"You need to know that the Central Origin Pavilion is a Princess Qing Ling where the Hua Kingdom resides, and my identity is that of a Prince Yan's Wife. If something were to happen to the two of us, would the Duke and the Emperor let your family off?"
Sure enough, after Lin Chuyue finished speaking, Uncle Li, who had his head lowered until then, raised his eyes. His eyes that were still filled with fear, became even more panicked.
"Prince Yan's Wife, this old one's family is innocent."
The Uncle Li's expression was abnormally excited. Qingyi and Li Yu walked forward and guarded Lin Chuyue, as if they were afraid that the Uncle Li would do something too extreme.
"So, Uncle Li, it's better if you tell me what you know. It looks like the heavy rain still needs a day and a night to tell me. Last night, someone tried to assassinate Princess Qing Ling, if I didn't arrive in time, you should know the consequences."
"…"
When Lin Chuyue's words fell, Uncle Li's face instantly turned ashen.
"Could it be that she really came back?"
Uncle Li swallowed his saliva as his whole body shivered uncontrollably.
"Uncle Li, you can be at ease with us here. All you need to do is to tell us the truth about this house, especially the corpses inside the walls of the Zhongyuan Pavilion. What exactly is going on?"
"A corpse."
Li Yu frowned, even Qing Yi did not look good.
Lin Chuyue nodded her head, the light yellow figure that they saw on the walls of the Natal Palace yesterday was a human corpse, it was obvious that someone had buried many of their corpses inside the walls.
"Prince's Wife, did you really see it?"
"Yes, I saw it."
Uncle Li let out a deep sigh. He took the pipe and the pole from his waist, lit up the tobacco with a match and started smoking.
After a long while, when all the smoke had been burnt out, Uncle Li finally raised his head slowly, and looked at Lin Chuyue with even more intense fear in her eyes.
"Actually, we have to start from ten years ago."
After Uncle Li said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was considering whether or not to say this out loud. But since things had come to this point, what else was there for him to hide?
If any of Princess Qing Ling or any of them made a mistake, the lives of their entire family would be implicated.
"Ten years ago, at that time, I was also leading a group of people through this route. Originally, the weather was fine on that day, but afterwards, strong gales arose in all directions. It's like the weather now."
Uncle Li turned his head and his gaze landed on the gloomy sky outside the window. He then started to talk about what happened ten years ago.
At that time, Li Kingdom and the Hua Kingdom were in the midst of a period of conflict, but there were still many merchants that were trading with the two countries.
It was just as the Uncle Li had said.
It was a day ten years ago that Uncle Li led a caravan from Hua Kingdom to Li Kingdom.
They had also encountered fierce winds and huge waves at sea. For the safety of the merchant group, Uncle Li and the leader of the merchant group discussed and decided to head for the Uninhabited Island.
At that time, they had only heard of the existence of Uninhabited Island, and that it was in this region of the ocean.
In the end, they really did find Uninhabited Island.
After finding the Uninhabited Island, the caravan unloaded all of the goods. A moment before the storm started, they arrived at a luxurious house like the palace.
When everyone arrived at the mansion, they were warmly received by the owner of the mansion. The beautiful maids that were even more beautiful than fairies couldn't move their eyes away.
Everyone ate a sumptuous meal as they watched the beautiful and enchanting woman dance. In those few short days, it was as if they had entered into a realm of immortals.
Uncle Li was naturally the same. As a sailor, when had he ever seen such a scene before?
Perhaps due to his innate condition, he woke up much faster than others.
That night, when Uncle Li walked out of the courtyard to relieve himself, he saw more than a dozen figures swaying, which aroused his curiosity.
But because of this curiosity, it saved Uncle Li's life.
It was also because of this matter that caused Uncle Li's nightmare to haunt his body for ten years, and he would never be able to forget it.
"Uncle Li, what happened?"
Lin Chuyue, Li Yu, Qing Yi, and Gu Lang were all waiting for the next part. Outside the door, Bu Qianfan was also frowning as he listened to the story of ten years ago from the Uncle Li.
"Sigh, what a sin!"
Sighing, Uncle Li lit up his pipe again and began to smoke. Then, he slowly exhaled.
Uncle Li went out in the middle of the night to relieve himself, and after looking at the dozen or so figures, he followed.
Separated by a stone door, Uncle Li saw that the figures were all the servants of the residence. These were all women wearing long white robes and holding red lanterns in their hands.
Her beautiful and charming face was devoid of life.
This not only made the Uncle Li even more curious.
The next scene, however, forced an old man who had been sailing on the sea for decades to lie paralyzed on the ground.
"Uncle Li, stop talking nonsense and tell us what happened."
Gu Lang couldn't wait any longer and wanted to know what Uncle Li saw next. His eyes were filled with fear.
"I … I saw that the clothes on those girls were taken off, but their entire bodies were rotten!"
Gulping down his saliva, Uncle Li thought of that scene and the bag in his hands almost fell to the ground.
More than ten beautiful female servants took off their white robes, but when the last piece of clothing fell on the ground, Uncle Li saw that there was not a single part of her body that was undamaged. It was as if he was a corpse that had been there for a long time, the flesh on her body had all rotten.
But this was not the place to make the Uncle Li truly afraid.
The thing that truly left the Uncle Li reeling in fear was that it was still at a later stage.
When Uncle Li saw this scene, he had originally planned to escape, but in the end he still chose to hide in the grass.
These maids first entered the Middle Palace. When they came out, they all held a bright curved blade in their hands. This kind of scimitar was different from ordinary sabers. There were even hooks on the handle of the sabre.
In less than half a moment, the maids that came out of the pavilion had returned. This time, the maids were holding onto a business trip that was full of drunkenness and slumber.
