After pondering for a moment, Su Liu tentatively spoke:

"Mother-in-law, why don't you come with me?"

When she said this, she was not sure. After all, who would follow someone they met for the first time.

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly took her hand and nodded sincerely:

"Good boy, I am willing to leave with you. No one knows this place except Qingbi. You must be a very important person to her."

Hearing this, Su Liu's heart softened and he gently held her back:

"Actually, I don't have a good place to go. I may have to wrong you, mother and son, and live in the servants' room of the General's Mansion, and I must never step out of the room on weekdays."

She warned him very seriously. After all, Wen Ruoshui was still in the general's mansion. If she were to find out, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

The old woman did not hesitate and simply agreed to her request:

"It would be nice to have a place to eat and live. We are not picky."

Su Liu also smiled and added:

"However, I can ask Qingbi to take care of you occasionally, and the family can be reunited."

She looked at the two of them carefully. The woman was relatively short and thin and could disguise herself as an ordinary maid. As for the little boy, he looked about the same age as Shen Leyan, so he could just keep it with him.

If you hurry back home while it's still dark, there shouldn't be any problems.

So, she and Nineteen took the mother and son back to the general's mansion and placed them in another more remote servant's room.

Normally this place is used by guards, but since Nineteen doesn't need it, it can be freed up.

As for Qingbi, she still wants to live with Su Tao, so naturally she has to avoid it.

When Qingbi came back the next day, she saw that her mother and brother were safe and sound. Naturally, she was surprised and happy, and almost kowtowed to Su Liu again.

"Okay, okay." Su Liu grabbed her and asked, "Is the matter done?"

Qingbi nodded, with a confused expression on her face, "I handed the letter to the eldest lady. She seemed very anxious and immediately called someone to prepare the carriage."

Hearing this, Su Liu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he quickly asked:

"Then did she say when she was going to go out?"

"The eldest lady didn't say the exact time. She was probably planning to leave at dawn." Qingbi shook her head gently and replied.

Hearing that this was the case, Su Liu also cheered up. It seemed that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

She found Shen Luochen and Nineteen again. After discussion, the three decided to stay outside the door of Wen Ruoshui's room until she went out.

The General's Mansion was quiet in the middle of the night. Shen Luochen and the three of them were hiding on the eaves in the dark, looking at the closed door and waiting patiently.

Su Liu speculated that with Wen Ruoshui's character, he must be secretly preparing at this time and would not leave the general's mansion immediately.

"But what if she never leaves?" Nineteen asked with some confusion. His figure looked particularly tall and tall in the moonlight.

"Don't worry, maybe she has other secret passages." Su Liu analyzed, "Let's listen carefully to what's going on inside and wait and see."

That's what she said, but after the day's torment, she herself was exhausted, and she just wished that she couldn't buy a cup of iced coffee to refresh herself in this day and age.

Especially when three people are squatting, unable to speak to each other, and just staring quietly in one direction, it is really easy to get sleepy.

Just when her upper eyelids were already fighting with her lower eyelids, she finally heard rustling noises coming from the room. Su Liu suddenly woke up and looked at each other with Shen Luochen and Nineteen beside him, and nodded tacitly.

After a while, I saw a figure dressed in black pushing the door open. Although she was covering her head tightly, judging from her figure, she must be Wen Ruoshui.

As they had judged, she did not leave directly from the gate, but slipped out through the unguarded small door on one side, where the carriage she had called in advance also stopped there.

I saw Wen Ruoshui looking around and quickly getting into the car.

Just when Su Liu and others were preparing to follow closely, the carriage suddenly whipped away and galloped away. By the time they reacted, it was too late.

"Quick, keep chasing!" Su Liu immediately shouted loudly and jumped off the roof himself.

Shen Luochen and Nineteenth responded at the same time, and the three of them rode wildly, chasing after each other.

The carriage galloped along a winding path, and the scenery on both sides quickly receded. Su Liu couldn't help but frown. The carriage's route was really quite eccentric.

However, if Wen Ruoshui wants to go out to do some shady things, she will definitely avoid crowded places as much as possible. This trail must have been chosen by her.

However, because of this, the trail became more and more difficult to walk, the carriage swayed, and the speed gradually slowed down.

Su Liu and others not far away also slowed down and kept a distance of not too far but not too close.

If her guess was correct, Wen Ruoshui should lead them to the underground black market during this trip.

I don’t know when it started, but layers of fog gradually began to appear around me. The sky and the earth were completely white, making it difficult to see the way forward and the way back.

"Oops, we have to follow closely." Nineteen said with an alert tone from the fog.

Su Liu and Shen Luochen also looked at each other, speeded up, and followed closely.

The vision in front was too blurry, and only the outline of the carriage could be vaguely seen.

After an unknown amount of time, the fog gradually dissipated, and a gloomy and eerie scene appeared in front of the three of them.

It was a black forest, with towering trees that looked eerie and eerie, as if they had been deserted for a long time. Upon closer inspection, I found that the trunks of each tree were engraved with inscriptions of various shapes, which seemed to be a kind of mysterious writing. .

"Could this be the so-called underground black market?" Su Liu frowned as he looked at the strange scene in front of him.

There was a thick musty smell in the air, as if this forest had been sealed for thousands of years and no one had ever set foot there.

"Probably." Shen Luochen nodded and replied.

"It seems that the entrance to this black market is indeed hidden. I didn't expect to find it until I walked into the dark forest." Su Liu shook his head helplessly.

She looked up at the sky. It was getting brighter, and a few dark red clouds were floating by, adding a touch of terror to the already gloomy black forest.

The three of them carefully stepped into this strange black forest. The musty smell in the air became more and more pungent and thick, making people feel a little unbearable. The ground of the black forest is covered with all kinds of strange-shaped stones. There are also some green moss growing on the stones. When you step on them, they are slippery and make people feel a little uncomfortable.
