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

Chapter 99: Eliminate dissidents?

Ning Jiang was indeed quick in his actions, but at the moment he grabbed the little girl's wrist, Xihe deliberately opened her palm and her fingers touched the gold.

"I know." Xiao Mingxuan did not refute, but agreed, "I guess General Liu also found out, so he stayed."

"Little brother, can we sneak in and take a look?" Xihe asked.

Xiao Mingxuan rubbed his brows with a headache, "Tell me, how are you going to get in?"

The three inner and outer floors of the courtyard are all guarded by people. Not to mention two living people, even a bird would be shot down.

The little girl chuckled, then suddenly closed her eyes and concentrated, and a blue light appeared around her again.

Xiao Mingxuan didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

He knew that the little girl was using her spiritual power again.

After a few breaths, Xihe opened his eyes again, "Brother, there is a secret door leading directly to that room, follow me~"

Xiao Mingxuan smiled and said, "You really are always busy."

The two men came to a deserted courtyard and stopped at a well.

"Brother, this is it."

Xiao Mingxuan looked at the well and fell silent.

The well mouth is not deep, and you can almost see the bottom at a glance in broad daylight. It is only big enough to accommodate an adult. How can a secret door be installed?

"Are you sure it's here?" Xiao Mingxuan looked left and right but still couldn't find anything special about this well.

Xihe nodded, "That's what Grandpa Divine Tree said. It said we'll know after we go down."

Xiao Mingxuan reasonably suspected that the sacred tree mentioned by Xihe was a trap, but there was no other way at the moment, so he could only go ahead with it.

The well mouth is not deep, it can even be called shallow. The distance from the bottom of the well to the well mouth is the length of Xiao Mingxuan standing upright.

"Come here, I'll hold you." Although Xiao Mingxuan didn't believe that such a shallow well could be used for anything, after several adventures in the secret room, he still thought it was better to be cautious.

"Okay!" Xihe jumped into Xiao Mingxuan's arms and hugged his neck tightly.

Xiao Mingxuan held the little girl in one hand and held the rope at the edge of the well with the other hand, tentatively moving slowly down. Soon, his feet touched the bottom.

He looked around but didn't find any mechanism. He leaned back helplessly and said, "Xiao Xi'er, you'll know when your God Tree grandfather tells you, but there is no mechanism at the moment."

Xihe looked around curiously: "That's not right, why is there no reaction? This should be the place."

Xiao Mingxuan pressed the surrounding stone walls but there was no response, so he lost his temper and prepared to go up and find another way out. "Forget it, why don't we first..."

Before Xiao Mingxuan finished his words, there was a sudden "crack" sound from the stone slab under his feet. Cracks appeared on the originally intact stone slab. As the cracking sound became louder and louder, gravel splashed around.

"Oops!"

Just as Xiao Mingxuan reacted, the stone slab under his feet could no longer support him and completely shattered. The familiar feeling of weightlessness came over him again. Xiao Mingxuan could only hold Xihe tightly in his arms.

When his back touched the ground again, Xiao Mingxuan was sober. Fortunately, it was not too high. Compared with the last time, except for some pain in his back, his limbs were fine.

"Xiao Xier, let's wear more clothes next time we go out." Xiao Mingxuan suddenly brought up an unimportant sentence.

Xihe did not faint this time. After regaining consciousness, she quickly got off Xiao Mingxuan and helped him up. "Why? It's May now, it's so hot."

"You don't need to, I just need to wear more." Xiao Mingxuan knew that Xihe was afraid of heat, but he also felt sorry for his life. He fell directly into the trap twice in a row, without even a chance to buffer.

If it happens again, his body will probably fall apart.

Although Xihe was silly, he was not stupid. He immediately understood Xiao Mingxuan's hidden meaning and laughed awkwardly twice, "Little brother, I will find a more normal way next time."

Not to mention that Xiao Mingxuan couldn't bear it, Xihe's little heart was almost broken as well.

The past three months when I was out were thrilling. I fell into a secret room every time and was chased every time. This is really unbelievable luck.

Xiao Mingxuan took a deep breath and looked around. It seemed to be another secret room, but it was different from the one in the dense forest. There were no lights here, only a few candles crackling.

"Little brother, come this way." Xihe had just been protected, and now he volunteered to lead the way.

"Okay." Xiao Mingxuan was led by Xihe and took a step forward. A gust of wind whistled past his ears. The candlelight swayed gently, illuminating a corner of the secret room. White bones flashed by, and soon returned to darkness.

Xiao Mingxuan suddenly stopped and stared at a dark place. His heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat.

"What's wrong, little brother?" Xihe was about to look in that direction, but Xiao Mingxuan covered his eyes with his hand.

His voice was trembling, ringing in Xihe's ears, and sounded particularly deep in the quiet dark room, "Xiao Xier, be good. Stand here and don't move. Don't move. Wait for me to come back, okay?"

Xihe didn't understand, but she could feel the other person's slightly trembling hand, so she obediently agreed, "Okay, I won't move, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Mingxuan didn't say anything, but instead wrapped a piece of red thread around Xihe's wrist, and the other end of the red thread was tied to Xiao Mingxuan's wrist, so that if there was any movement from Xihe, he would be able to sense it at the first time.

"I'll be back soon. Be obedient and don't come over. Got it?"

"Okay, little brother, be careful."

Xihe watched Xiao Mingxuan walk towards the other side and gradually disappear into the darkness, and his heart couldn't help but rise.

Xiao Mingxuan held a candle and walked step by step towards the place he had just seen. The light of the candle approached the wall, illuminating the white bones embedded in the stone wall.

What he had just seen was part of a skull.

Who are these bones? Why are they here?
And why was he embedded in the wall and suffocated to death?

He shone the candlelight around and saw only bones of various sizes.

There are not only adults but also children. Some of them are in a hugging posture, so they are most likely a family.

The whole family was killed?

For what?
Have a grudge? Or... exclude dissidents?
Dafengzhai is definitely not a simple bandit village.

Xiao Mingxuan felt the red rope on his wrist being pulled slightly three times. Knowing that the little girl was worried about him, he also pulled it slightly three times as a response.

He turned around, took a look at the bones, and left without looking back.

Xiao Mingxuan walked back into the light, and Xihe immediately went to greet him, "Little brother, are you okay?"

Xiao Mingxuan shook his head, his expression unclear, "Xiao Xier, we have to go up quickly."

"What's wrong?" Xihe asked.

Xiao Mingxuan looked strange since he came back. Xihe looked past him and looked back, but there was no candlelight, only darkness.

"This Dafeng Village is most likely in collusion with the government. Liu Yuan and Xu Qingcheng are in danger!"
