Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

The mine was pitch-black, with only a ray of silvery moonlight pouring in from the narrow hole above the head.

Liu Shu has been hiding here for ten days, and he has been worried for ten days. He not only wants to survive, but also wants to return to the capital alive.

It's a pity that more and more people came these days, so he had to hide in a narrow rock crevice to avoid being chased and killed.

Another group of people came tonight, and by chance they heard King Jing mentioned in their conversation, and Liu Shu knew that His Majesty had sent someone here, and the next thing he had to do was to wait for Fu Mingjue to bring someone over.

After confirming that the men in black had left, he slowly squeezed out from the cracks in the stone, took out the map he was fumbling for, and walked to the deepest part of the mine.

Liu Shu found out that this iron mine was discovered by Zhao Guanglin in the third year of Yong'an, and told Song Yinian about it, but Liu Shu didn't think that Song Yinian was the mastermind behind the scenes, and there must be someone above him.

These years, the secret letters that Song Yinian handed over to the capital are the best evidence.

Liu Shu didn't dare to light the fire, so he could only walk in the dark.He knew that this iron mine was not just an empty cave with secrets hidden in it, but also an unspeakable and shocking secret.

After walking in the dark for an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the end of the mine.

It is dark in front of my eyes, and I never know what will be under my feet before I take the next step.

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he was startled suddenly, and stepped back again and again: "Why, how could it be like this?"

The master stood beside him with his hands behind his back, and said: "Yes, thanks to Song Yinian who came in time, otherwise we would be doomed."

It was very quiet here, only the slight sound of his breathing. He took out the fire pocket, and the rising flame instantly illuminated the entire cave.

"I don't know."

Liu Shu took a few steps back nervously, pretending to be calm and said, "What's the use of killing me? As long as these things are still there, the world will know this secret sooner or later!"

Liu Shu stared at him with wide eyes, and swallowed his last breath with hatred and unwillingness.

Endless darkness overflows the blood, and the secrets hidden here will eventually be swallowed by darkness.After daybreak, some people will be immortal, and some will be infamous for thousands of years, but those shadows will step on their blood and move towards the light little by little.

Zhao Guanglin smiled triumphantly, and walked down the tower with his arms around his shoulders: "You still can talk, go, go to Yuexi Tower to drink, it will be a celebration banquet!"

Fu Mingjue's face darkened, and he continued to say: "I originally planned to return to Beijing at the end of last year, and then go to the Cai family to propose marriage, but something happened in the northern border during that time, and I couldn't go back. Good friends, has she mentioned Aya to you?"

No one told Ji Shuyu about Cai Fuya's entry into the palace, nor dared to tell him, Fu Mingjue would naturally not be that villain, after all, there are more important things right now.

In the early morning of this day, Ji Shuyu brought people to Yuan'an County.

After finishing his work in Tongzhou, he asked King Jing'an for orders to return to Beijing.

Liu Shu held onto his hand tightly, and said with blood in his mouth, "You, you are treason."

Zhao Guanglin watched them go out of the city, and sighed softly: "Finally, I have sent this big Buddha away. After tonight, I will be able to listen to the music leisurely."

After Ji Shuyu organized the team, he saluted and reported the situation to Fu Mingjue.

After making this decision, Ji Shuyu followed Fu Mingjue to Ghost Cliff Valley.

Fu Mingjue corrected his expression: "Why is this king asking about the girl's family? If you want to know, just go back and see for yourself."

Fu Mingjue gave a faint "hmm" and said, "Gather in an hour and go to Guiya Valley."

He hesitated for a long time, and only managed to utter a dry sentence: "My lord, my name is Ji Shuyu, my father is Ji Youhuai, and Ji Linyuan is my elder brother."

Ji Shuyu was embarrassed, and decided to change the question: "Actually, I met the princess before I left Beijing, and she encouraged me to go to Aya to confess my love."

No one responded to him, only a painful whimper accompanied by the sound of a sharp knife piercing into flesh.

Fu Mingjue gave him a cool look: "Speak up if you have something to say."

"My lord, don't say that, the success of this plan is all due to you!"

When Fu Mingjue saw him, he hesitated for a moment, but looking at his stern expression, he probably didn't know what happened in the capital.

When Ji Shuyu heard this answer, he didn't feel disappointed. With Fu Mingjue's temperament, he was content to listen patiently to such a bunch of words.

"It's me," he chuckled twice, "Lord Liu, long time no see, it's a pity we just met, you're leaving—"

"Yes!" Ji Shuyu followed him into the yamen silently after letting people go down, as if he wanted to ask something.

When he asked the last sentence, Ji Shuyu's heart almost jumped into his throat. After staying in the military camp for a year, he became more courageous and killed several groups of horse thieves, but against Fu Mingjue, He was still in a panic!

"It doesn't matter sooner or later, this secret will be revealed after tomorrow." He approached Liu Shu step by step, and gradually revealed the knife hidden in the dark, "Master Liu, you are a good official. During your visit to the northern border, the common people Everyone praises you very much, don't worry, I won't let you bear the stigma, your name will be passed down forever."

"Well," he scratched his head, and asked courageously, "My lord, I haven't been back to the capital for a year, and my parents haven't written to me in the past few months. Do you know their recent situation?"

"Hahaha good!"

At this moment, a deep and piercing laughter suddenly sounded in the darkness: "I didn't expect to be discovered by you."

"." Fu Mingjue felt that there was something wrong with his brain, "This king knows."

Hei Yi smiled lightly, held the knife and pushed it a little further, leaned into his ear and said, "Yes, but you are the only one who knows, and you are about to die."

The fire folder in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, Liu Shu was stiff all over, and slowly turned his head to look at the blurred figure in the darkness: "Is it you?"

"That guy Song Yinian is so cruel, no wonder he can sit in the magistrate's position, but I can only be a small county magistrate in this mountain forest," he clicked twice, "I'm still not as good as him—"

The hearty laughter of the two gradually faded away, as if they had foreseen the final victory of this chess game.

Half an hour later, Fu Mingjue and his party had arrived at Ghost Cliff Valley.

Ji Shuyu handed him the map: "My lord, this is the topographic map of the mine that the general gave me. The road inside is clearly marked, but it is difficult to find the entrance."

Fu Mingjue scanned it roughly, and said: "Take someone down to search first. After finding the entrance, don't act without authorization. Remember to be careful, there may be assassins hidden inside."

"This subordinate understands." Ji Shuyu got the order, and immediately led his people down the side path.

After they left, Fu Mingjue led another group of people to the bottom of the valley.
