Wen Xian had countless doubts about the shopkeeper. She felt that how trustworthy the shopkeeper was before, he was now suspicious.

However, she was not completely sure, so she could only try it out first.

As soon as Wen Xian finished speaking, the shopkeeper explained anxiously: "What did the girl say? I told you, my master is not here."

Oh, I want to hide it.

I don’t know what happened, so that such a professionally trained person showed his flaws.

Wen Xian waved her hand and signaled to the people who came to cover the mouths of the two people and tie them up. She was going to take people into the tunnel to find them personally.

Zhu Qing quickly stepped forward to stop her and advised: "Doctor Wen is just outside the cave. I will take people in. Don't worry, I will bring them out safely."

First of all, Wen Xian is the empress, and her safety must be guaranteed. Secondly, since he is very skilled in martial arts, he deserves to go.

Wen Xian did not persist, but sent a special force to follow Zhu Qing in. Here, Shen Cheng also sent a team to lead the way and help.

Naturally, the fires at the two entrances outside were no longer burning.

After seeing the fire extinguished, the shopkeeper couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he closed his eyes and rested his mind, not hearing anything outside the window.

Wen Xian glanced at him sideways, turned to Shen Cheng and said, "What do you think, Master Shen, of this matter?"

"If you want to wear his crown, you must bear its weight." Shen Cheng stroked his beard with unclear meaning, "The path Doctor Wen wants to take must be difficult."

He pointed to the tied up shopkeeper and continued: "They are the best example."

Maybe these people were loyal before, but knowing that the person their master wants to follow is the Empress, they may not be as loyal as before.

The same sentence, the Empress, is not acceptable to everyone.

Wen Xian nodded thoughtfully. Shen Cheng was right, but Xia Zhi had problems with these people, which she did not expect.

But everything will have to wait until Xia Zhi is found to be sure, maybe that's not the case.

I thought it would take Zhu Qing and the others a long time to come out, but only a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Qing took out the unconscious Xia Zhi.

Wen Xian's pupils shrank, and she quickly asked An Ye to take the person over, and then put her hand on Xia Zhi's pulse.

Fortunately, he just fainted, not poisoned or any other major problem.

But Xia Zhi was the only one inside, which Wen Xian never expected.

She raised her head and glared at the tied up shopkeeper, her teeth itching with hatred. What kind of confidant is this? He is an executioner who wants to kill people.

The shopkeeper lowered his eyes and said nothing, but it could be seen that he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Xian didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking, and she didn't have the energy to pay attention to him.

She tilted her head and asked Zhu Qing: "What's going on inside? Is there anyone else?"

Where is Wu Junlan, and where are Xia Zhi's other confidants? These people couldn't really leave the unconscious Xia Zhi alone in the tunnel.

However, Zhu Qing cupped his hands and said: "There was only Miss Xia inside. When we entered, we saw her unconscious and leaning not far from the entrance of the cave. As for the deeper parts, no other conditions were found."

He paused and said, "It's actually not big inside, so there won't be any missing parts."

When they were outside just now, they and the people from the government office also searched the vicinity of the woods, but did not see Wu Junlan.

In this case, there is only one possibility: Wu Junlan was not arrested at all. All of this is a conspiracy.

Wen Xian took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart.

Only the unconscious Xia Zhi was in the cave, which meant that if she had continued to light the fire, Xia Zhi would have been in trouble. Thinking of this, Wen Xian wanted to turn her eyes into sharp blades and kill the two culprits.

But the most important thing was to revive Xia Zhi at the moment. She inserted a needle into Xia Zhi's hand and then said to Zhu Qing: "Take someone to search the area nearby. Check all the places where there are tunnels."

Although it is unlikely that Wu Junlan was kidnapped, no clues can be missed. If this were true, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?

As she spoke, she crushed the silver needle on Xiazhi's hand and pulled it out. At the same time, Xia Zhi groaned and woke up.

"Madam, let's go, let's go back." Xia Zhi grabbed Wen Xian's hand and said hurriedly, "I was deceived. The second sister was not caught at all. This is a conspiracy of the Jiang family, and their people will be here soon! "

She was deceived, or deceived by the person she trusted the most.

Wu Junlan never showed up at all. This was just a conspiracy between her so-called confidant and the Jiang family.

She didn't know what method the Jiang family used to bribe her most trusted person. He also wanted to use her to help deal with Madam.

But how is this possible? Even if she is injured, she will not harm Madam.

Zhu Qing, who was about to lift his feet, turned around and looked at Wen Xian: "Doctor Wen?"

Since it is a lie, there is no need to go to Wu Junlan anymore.

"Let's go!" Wen Xian helped Xia Zhi and walked quickly to the carriage.

Judging from the level of assassins just now, the people arranged by the Jiang family this time must not be too bad in martial arts.

If we can avoid conflict, it is better not to have conflict.

However, what you say comes as no surprise.

Before he even got on the carriage, waves of sharp arrows came towards him. In a few breaths, two people on Wen Xian's side fell.

"Master, get in the car quickly." An Ye quickly escorted Wen Xian and Xia Zhi to the carriage. She followed Zhu San, guarding the edge of the car, and drove quickly.

Fortunately, the special forces and government guards reacted and immediately fought with the intruder.

Hearing the sound of fighting coming from behind, Wen Xian felt very worried. But she could do nothing but try to hold the carriage steady and not let herself be held back.

As for Xia Zhi, as the indirect instigator, she felt even more guilty, but she still had a sense of clarity.

While supporting Wen Xian and the carriage, she quickly told what she knew about the situation.

Wen Xian listened quietly. At the same time, her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the current situation.

It turned out that Xia Zhi's close shopkeeper had colluded with the Jiang family at some point.

When the Jiang family knew that Wen Xian had established herself as empress, they naturally wanted to get rid of her.

And that letter was made by them in collusion to lure Wen Xian into the trap.

The first batch of robbers were indeed just simple robbers. However, their news was deliberately released by the Jiang family.

The second wave of assassins was also arranged by the Jiang family.

They thought that with these two waves of people here, they would lose a lot of Wen Xian's people no matter what, or they could kill them directly.

But they underestimated Wen Xian's strength, and it was of little use to either side.

As for Xia Zhi being knocked unconscious, it was entirely because she wanted to go back and report to Wen Xian after knowing that she had been cheated, and that's why she was knocked unconscious.

But Xia Zhi's confidant has affection for Xia Zhi after all, and will not kill her. That's why she appeared in a coma not far from the cave entrance.
