The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 93 Why should we persist?
Among the group, Xihe and Liu Yuan would occasionally argue with each other, and Xiao Mingxuan also came along. The three of them together were probably no more than ten years old.

"We're here." Xu Qingcheng led the way and walked in front, looking at the huge rock in the center.

According to Jiang Zhongguo's instructions, the third huge rock in the dense forest is the entrance.

Liu Yuan looked around the stone, reached out and touched the muddy water on it, frowned and said, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingcheng asked.

Liu Yuan pulled the man over and pointed at the stone and said, "It has been raining in Jiangnan these days. The other stones are covered with thick mud, but why is the mud on this stone so thin?"

Instead, it looked as if someone had deliberately scraped it flat.

Xu Qingcheng wiped a handful of mud into his hands, then looked at the huge rocks around him, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that someone leaked the news and moved away in advance?"

The matter was so shocking that apart from Liu Yuan and the two little boys, only Xu Qingcheng, Zhong Ting and the two princes knew about it.

Xu Qingcheng suddenly seemed to sense something and looked at Xiao Mingxuan beside him, his eyes full of vigilance, "I wonder... where is His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince these days?"

Xiao Mingxuan smiled silently and said casually: "I can go anywhere, in the manor, in the restaurant, on the street, I'll be there."

After he said this, his suspicion doubled, and Xu Qingcheng looked at him with an increasingly unfriendly gaze.

"Fifth uncle, the little brother is staying with Xihe." Xihe said slowly as she looked at the adults' ever-changing expressions.

Seeing that it was Xihe, Xu Qingcheng was afraid that the murderous aura on his body would scare the child, so he quickly relaxed his expression, "Xihe, you can only meet the Ninth Prince during the day. You don't know what he does at night, right?"

Xihe didn't understand and said without any defense: "No, we were together at night too."

Xiao Mingxuan covered his face in silence, pretending not to see the murderous looks of the three men.

Zhao Chengning rushed forward and hugged Xihe a little further away, looking at Xiao Mingxuan as if he was a beast.

He hadn't looked after his baby for just a few days and he had been kidnapped?
"Sister, tell your brother what this beast did to you?" Zhao Chengning was extremely anxious and wanted to cut Xiao Mingxuan into pieces.

Xihe blinked her eyes, and after a long while she figured out the situation, she said in a confused manner: "Little brother, just bring me dinner, what else can I do?"

Xihe's teeth grew very slowly, and she sometimes had trouble chewing the uniform meals served at the National Academy. Xiao Mingxuan had no choice but to go to a restaurant outside every day to bring softened food for the little girl.

Everyone: "..."

It turns out that they are dirty.

"But you are not together all the time, and the Ninth Prince is still under suspicion." Xu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to say.

He wanted to say a few more words, but Liu Yuan suddenly patted his arm.

"Okay, Qingcheng, let's talk about it when we get back. The most urgent thing is to confirm the existence of the money, otherwise no one can explain to His Majesty." Although Liu Yuan also had doubts, he was far from being overly suspicious.

Xu Qingcheng was silent for a while, then agreed.

They triggered the mechanism according to the blueprint, and a huge gap suddenly appeared on the flat ground beneath their feet.

"careful!"

The feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over them, and they fell from the ground into a dark hole.

The cold wind whistled in his ears. Xiao Mingxuan used his strength to pull the falling Xihe into his arms, pressed the little girl's head into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

The flying sand and rocks and the raised dust blinded Xiao Mingxuan's eyes. His body was still falling. He could no longer hear the voices of Liu Yuan and the others. Only the warmth in his arms proved that he was still alive.

His body fell heavily on the hard ground. When it bounced back, a fishy and sweet taste rushed up his throat, but he swallowed it down without leaving a trace.

Light suddenly rose up around, and the entire secret room was as bright as day.

Liu Yuan coughed twice, then slowly stood up with the help of a pillar. He glanced at the three people scattered behind him, but couldn't find the two children. His heart rose to his throat, "Little guys, where are you?" Even adults couldn't stand such a high place. Would the two little guys be smashed into pieces?
A faint sound came from behind the huge model.

"here."

Liu Yuan supported himself and walked over quickly, "How are you two? Are you hurt anywhere? Are you…"

His voice suddenly got stuck in his throat and he stared blankly ahead.

Xiao Mingxuan fell on his back and head, with Xiao Xihe lying on top of him, tightly protected in his arms, unharmed.

The smile on Liu Yuan's face disappeared without a trace, and he strode forward and grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's wrist.

Xiao Mingxuan had not yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced. He subconsciously erected all the thorns on his body, was on guard, and wanted to struggle.

"If you don't want to die, don't move."

Liu Yuan froze Xiao Mingxuan in place with a cold voice.

Liu Yuan has been marching and fighting for many years and knows only the basics.

Then he sneered and said, "You really don't care about your life, but you are also really lucky."

As soon as he saw the posture of the two people, he knew that Xiao Mingxuan was using himself as a cushion, disregarding his life. If he fell from such a height, he would be half-crippled if not dead.

"Did you grab onto something to cushion your fall?"

After confirming that everything was correct, Liu Yuan let go of his hand and sat down on the ground without any image.

"If it weren't for this buffer, you would have broken several ribs right now."

Xiao Mingxuan stretched his muscles slightly, and with the help of Liu Yuan, he sat up. His other hand was still tightly holding the little girl, and he said lightly: "It seems so."

In fact, there was no cushioning object. He guessed that perhaps it was because the little girl in his arms had activated her spiritual power again that they were able to land safely.

The three people on the other side also came over, and when they saw Xihe unconscious in their arms, their breathing stagnated.

"What's wrong with Xihe?" Zhao Jinyuan moved closest and hurriedly checked the other party's breath.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh and smiled slightly.

"Why hasn't Xiao Xi'er woken up yet?"

The little girl in his arms had her eyes tightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep. If it weren't for the shallow breathing under her nose, he would have suspected that she had already...

"She was only five or six years old. She must have fainted from shock at such a young age. She woke up soon and nothing happened."

To put his mind at ease, Liu Yuan also checked the kid's pulse and said, "It's nothing serious. He will wake up in a quarter of an hour at most."

"Okay." Xiao Mingxuan responded, took out a clean handkerchief from his arms and wiped the dust off the little girl's cheek.

After all, Liu Yuan's health was not as good as before, and at this moment he had no strength to move forward, so he handed the key to Xu Qingcheng and asked him to take the two princes to check whether the treasure was still there.

Xu Qingcheng pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said: "You... don't have any martial arts skills, if you meet..."

Liu Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's not far inside. If you encounter anything, you can get back. Don't worry. Besides, I don't have any martial arts skills, but I can still escape with the two kids."

After repeated refusals, Liu Yuan finally managed to get rid of the nagging Xu Qingcheng.

"Why is this big fool talking so much? He wasn't like this before."

Liu Yuan shook his head helplessly, and when he turned around, he met Xiao Mingxuan's sharp gaze. The cautious look in his hands made Liu Yuan look sideways.

Seeing the three people going to investigate ahead, Liu Yuan came closer and asked, "Little guy, why do you insist on doing something that is destined to have no results?"
