Xie Xuanye took a few bites, put down his chopsticks, stood up, picked up his sword and walked out the door.

Ruda didn't understand what happened to the commander who was just fine. He quickly chased after him, "Commander, where are you going? You haven't finished eating yet!"

Unfortunately, all he could see was Xie Xuanye's back.

After Qin Shuhuang took her lunch break, she found Xie Xuanye guarding the door of her room again.

She also took it upon herself to send away the housekeeper sent by Luo Chu to treat her.

Qin Shuhuang smiled helplessly and did not go out again in the afternoon. He only read in the room and rested.

Early the next morning, as soon as Qin Shuhuang got up, Xie Xuanye quickly entered the room.

He glanced around, and Qin Shuhuang waved the four mute maids waiting around him to leave.

When only Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye were left in the flower hall, Xie Xuanye stepped forward and handed a thin bamboo tube to Qin Shuhuang.

"Your Highness, the news just arrived."

Qin Shuhuang quickly opened the bamboo tube, then took out a rolled up note inside and unfolded it.

After reading it, Qin Shuhuang frowned instantly, and she handed the note to Xie Xuanye next to her.

What was recorded on the note was the investigation results of the guards in the past few days.

The whereabouts of the four elders of the Liu family whom Luo Chu asked her to help investigate were indeed strange.

Three of the four people will definitely leave the Liu family mansion every three days.

The three people left Guangnan City with their guards and did not take the same road. After leaving the city, they went to a nearby village and then disappeared in the village, never to be found again. Three days later, the carriage of the three elders of the Liu family would leave. The village returns to the city.

The three elders in the carriage returning to the city never showed up. The carriage drove directly into the Liu Family Mansion from the side entrance of the Liu Family Mansion.

The strange thing is that when the three elders left the Liu family's mansion, a servant claimed to have seen several elders in the inner courtyard of the Liu family's mansion.

How could a person disappear out of thin air and then appear somewhere else in an instant? There is only one possibility!
Xie Xuanye said with a stern face: "There is a secret passage in the village they went to? And then they returned to the Liu family mansion through a secret passage?"

Xie Xuanye looked into Qin Shuhuang's eyes and said this. Obviously this was Qin Shuhuang's guess.

Qin Shuhuang frowned, "Since there is a hidden secret, why do they still put on such a show?"

"To hide people's eyes and ears! I don't want others to know what they did or transported through the secret passage! This thing must be very important to the Liu family!"

Xie Xuanye is right, otherwise the Liu family would not be so careful.

What on earth could be so important?
Qin Shuhuang sent someone to the front yard to ask Luo Chu to come over for discussion.

When Luo Chu read the note and listened to Qin Shuhuang's analysis, his expression also became serious.

Qin Shuhuang said: "Mr. Luo, is there any way to arrange for us to find out?"

Luo Chu had a vague feeling that these were the truth about the Liu family that he wanted to discover. His eyes darkened and he responded, "Tomorrow, three of them will leave the Liu family's mansion and go to the village outside the city. I will let people know tonight. Make arrangements, let’s go check it out together tomorrow.”

Qin Shuhuang raised his eyebrows, not expecting Luo Chu to go in person.

"it is good!"

Everyone had a good rest that night.

Early the next morning, Qin Shuhuang was dressed as an ordinary young woman by her maid, hiding her appearance, and went to the front yard of the Liu family's mansion with Luo Chu, Xie Xuanye, and Lu Da, who had also changed their clothes.

Qin Shuhuang was led by the maid into a carriage occupied by servants of the Liu family. Xie Xuanye and others followed the carriage disguised as ordinary servants.

After two cups of tea, the seventh elder of the Liu family took Chang Sui into the front carriage.

The Seventh Elder asked Chang Sui to greet him, and a team of more than ten servants escorting three carriages set off and left the Liu family's mansion.

She was not the only woman in the carriage Qin Shuhuang was riding.Including her, there were seven women in total. Seven people were crowded into one carriage, which was really depressing and crowded.

The women in the carriage with her were about the same age as her. Judging from their clothes, they were all servants of the Liu family's mansion.

In the carriage, a woman said anxiously and worriedly: "I don't know whose family we will be assigned to..."

After spending some time, Qin Shuhuang successfully found out the purpose of the seventh elder bringing these women.

Some of them are older maids in the Liu family's mansion who have not yet been married, and some are young widows whose husbands have died.

The Liu family will take them to villages where tribesmen gather and betroth them to male tribesmen who have not yet married.

The carriage drove out of the city gate in less than half an hour, and then ran all the way to the suburbs.

After driving for another half an hour, we arrived at a village.

This village is different from those that Qin Shuhuang has seen before.

There are stone walls around the entire village, and there is a huge bamboo gate at the entrance of the village. It is less like a village and more like a well-defended fortress.

Strong men from the village guard the entrance to the village, and people entering and exiting the village are inspected.

At the beginning of the team, a guard showed his waist card, and they were put into the village.

After they entered the village, the village's huge bamboo door was closed again.

This village is built on a mountain, with the majestic Guangnan mountains behind it.

After entering the village, the team headed straight to the end of the village. There were very few villagers walking on the road in this village. There were a few children, and there were also strong men with weapons from time to time, but they did not see a woman, whether old or young. Yeah, I didn’t even see it!

Qin Shuhuang quietly lowered the curtain of the carriage and suddenly felt even more strange.

The motorcade reached the end of the village and turned into a farmhouse.

This house is very large, surrounded by earthen walls, and the houses in the yard are taller and neater than those of ordinary villagers.

As soon as he knocked on the door of the house, a young man ran out of the house.

He quickly opened the door and welcomed the entire convoy into the courtyard.

After everyone and the carriage entered the courtyard, the young man carefully closed the courtyard door again.

After the carriage stopped, the curtain of the carriage where Qin Shuhuang was sitting was pulled open from the outside. The guards of the Liu family mansion asked the women to get off the carriage and enter the main room in the courtyard.

After Qin Shuhuang and the women of the Liu family entered the main room, the stewards gave each of these women a cloth towel and asked them to cover their eyes.

He said that he would take them to the allocated clan home.

Although the women found it strange, they obediently covered their eyes with cloths.

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Xie Xuan Ye Luda who was not far away, and covered his eyes like the other women.

However, she kept a careful eye and kept the mask loose. After a while, she could loosen it a little and be able to see the surrounding situation.

After being blindfolded, Qin Shuhuang and other women were taken to the room next to the main room by the Liu family elders and guards.

The room was sparsely furnished but very clean. There were quilts and pillows on the wooden bed in the corner, which was spotless. It was obvious that people slept here every day.

Through the deliberately left gap, Qin Shuhuang saw that the stone slab in the center of the room had been pried open, revealing a large hole for one person to enter and exit.

Afterwards, everyone entered the hole one after another.

Sure enough, the Liu family has a secret secret! (End of chapter)
