When the people in Bei Ming Mansion were almost gone, Nan Qingfeng stood up.

"Where are you going?"

Dongfang Chuye pulled her back almost reflexively.

Nan Qingfeng looked at him doubtfully.

"Go to the secret passage in Bei Ming Mansion to see what happened to the prince?"

Dongfang Chuye felt relieved and said, "It's okay."

The two bypassed the people gathered in front of the main entrance, jumped into Beiming Mansion, and went straight to Beiming Nan's study.

Nan Qingfeng first turned the candlestick hard, but found that it could not turn, so he followed Bei Mingnan's example and lit the candlestick first, and then turned it.

This time it turned.

"What a careful person."

Most people will try to see if there is a mechanism on the candlestick, but who would have thought that the candlestick must be lit first before it can rotate?

The tunnel underneath opened, and Nan Qingfeng took advantage of the situation and touched it.

As soon as his hands were warm, Dongfang Chuye held her hand.

"Be careful of traps."

With that said, he took the lead in exploring the way.

Bei Mingnan did leave some small traps behind, but they were all cracked by Dongfang Chuye, and nothing happened to the two of them.

Just as he was about to exit the corridor, Nan Qingfeng suddenly felt that something was not right in the air.

There is a faint smell...

It smells like a corpse.

"etc!"

Nan Qingfeng immediately stopped Dongfang Chuye who was still walking forward.

"What's wrong Qingfeng?"

Dongfang Chuye looked back and saw that Nan Qingfeng's originally relaxed and casual face turned serious.

His black and white pupils were slightly opened, looking at the stone slab in the secret room. He froze for a long time before taking a step and raising his hand to touch the cold stone slab.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Chuye was anxious. It was the first time he saw Nan Qingfeng's expression, so he asked again.

Nan Qingfeng didn't speak, and the smell on the tip of his nose became stronger and clearer.

Dongfang Chuye came to pull her, but she threw him away.

"Look for it quickly! Is there any mechanism here? Can this stone slab be opened?"

Her voice was tight and trembling, and she frantically groped around on the stone wall.

Dongfang Chuye didn't know what was going on, but he obeyed her words.

The two searched for a long time but failed to find the mechanism. Nan Qingfeng's patience ran out.

"That's enough, get out of the way, I'm going to blow up this wall."

Nan Qingfeng pushed Dongfang Chu Ye away, turned his palm, and found something.

Stick the thing against the stone wall and press the switch hard.

She stood motionless, letting the broken stones splash all over her body.

Fortunately, Dongfang Chuye had quick eyesight and quick hands to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me what happened!"

Nan Qingfeng said nothing, looking past him and looking at the blasted stone wall behind him.

Behind the stone wall is a stone room.

Inside, a female corpse was huddled in the corner, as if she was extremely frightened and buried her head deeply in her arms.

The clothes on her body were very familiar to Nan Qingfeng.

It was as if a sharp sword pierced her chest instantly, causing her breathing to become stagnant, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Looking at Nan Qingfeng's pale face, Dongfang Chuye seemed to realize something and slowly looked back.

The moment he saw Zhuo'er's body, he raised his hand to cover Nan Qingfeng's eyes with heartache.

"Let me go."

Nan Qingfeng's tone was unusually calm and calm, like cold water flowing quietly through the mountains in winter, but when it touches it, the chill will pierce your bones and flesh.

"Qingfeng..."

"Let me go." Nan Qingfeng repeated it again.

That tone was unreasonable, and even Dongfang Chuye felt an overwhelming pressure at this moment.

He slowly let go of Nan Qingfeng, but then quickly held her hand.

Her hands were so cold that if he hadn't seen her standing alive in front of him, he might have thought he was holding a cold corpse.

"Whatever you want, I will help you."

Nan Qingfeng stared at the bracelet with blank eyes and walked over.

The petite woman curled up together and looked even more petite.

Nan Qingfeng turned and looked at the four walls.

The walls are sealed and there is no mechanism to open them.

After Bei Mingnan caught Huo'er, he sealed her behind a stone wall with no intention of releasing her.

If it weren't for the stench coming out of the cracks in the wall and her innate sense of smell, she might never have been able to find the bracelet.

Suddenly, Nan Qingfeng's pupils shrank suddenly and he stared at the wall.

I didn't notice it when I came in before, but now I can see it clearly.

There were blood marks everywhere on the walls.

One after another, all of them seemed to be clawing at Nan Qingfeng's heart.

Her breathing was rapid, and her throat felt like coals were burning.

He turned to look at Huo'er's hand holding his knee.

None of the ten delicate jade fingers is intact.

The flesh and blood are rubbed away, revealing the dense white bones...

She still vaguely remembered the day she left Bei Ming Mansion with the bracelet.

She promised to take Huo'er to the top of her life and asked her if she wanted to leave with her.

Huo'er didn't hesitate, her eyes shining with excitement.

"I'll follow you! I'll follow you to the end of the world, to the underworld!"

But now, life is getting better, everything she promised has just begun to come true, but this girl...

Nan Qingfeng's heart throbbed, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with live coals, and he couldn't say a word.

His eyes were burning, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

She wanted to stand up, but in the next second, her body swayed and she fell into a warm embrace.

"Don't be like this. I will take you back to rest first. I will talk about revenge for Zhuo'er after you calm down."

"Need not."

Nan Qingfeng took a deep breath, took out the tranquilizing elixir from the medicine store, and swallowed a handful in one breath.

The usual panacea seemed to have lost its effect at this moment. Her whole body was still weak, her ears were buzzing, and she could not hear what Dongfang Chu Ye said.

"Bei Mingnan..."

She pushed Dongfang Chu Ye away, murmured Bei Mingnan's name repeatedly, and chased out along the corridor.

Dongfang Chuye looked back at Huo'er, took off his cloak, covered her body, and then quickly stood up and followed Nan Qingfeng.

All the people in Beiming Mansion have left Shangjing City at this moment. There is a small wooden house outside with a few horses tied in front of the door, which is just enough for a few people.

"Get on your horse and follow me."

Bei Mingnan was the first to mount his horse.

"Second brother, where are we going?"

Bei Mingjing'er's face was full of doubts.

Although Bei Mingnan said he would return in five days, she didn't believe it at the moment.

Seeing that all the family members were doubtful, Bei Mingnan didn't want to give in and explained.

"The eldest prince of the North has given me 50,000 elite soldiers. Over the years, they have been arriving outside Shangjing City one after another, lurking in disguise as civilians. I will go back and consolidate them before attacking the city."

"Attack the city?!" Bei Mingzhen's eyes flashed with light, "Dongfang Chuye is still in the city! How can we attack it?!"

"Dongfang Chuye is in the city, but his northern soldiers are not around. How can he stop fifty thousand elite soldiers with only one black-armored guard?"

Bei Mingzhen stopped talking.

Bei Mingnan has 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and the number of troops stationed in the upper capital is about the same.

And now the Shangjing City is leaderless and scattered, so it is not easy to mobilize.

Maybe, we can win!

At that time, he will no longer be a minister in Bei Ming Palace, but a king!

The family made up their minds and got on their horses.

Suddenly, several "whoosh" sounds were heard in the air, and the sound of breaking wind came closer and closer.

Several horses under his crotch whined and fell to the ground next to each other.

"What's going on?" Bei Mingnan frowned.
