"There are good secret guards at Yan Xiu's place. Pick a few capable ones to follow you when the time comes. You can also bring a few more servants at home, so that uncle and aunt can feel more at ease." Su Yujin said.

"Sister Jin, don't worry, I've taken everyone with me." Su Yunruo smiled and thanked, "Thank you, sister Jin, for still thinking about me. It's just that I don't need to worry about the secret guards. I already have them by my side."

A capable man is no worse than a secret guard."

Does Su Yunruo have capable people around him?

Although the Su family is wealthy, there are many skilled and loyal servants in the family.

But when it comes to people who can catch up with He Yanxiu's secret guards, there is no one.

Where did Su Yunruo get it, and his skills are no worse than those of secret guards?

Seeing Su Yujin's doubts, Su Yunruo smiled and said, "Probably because His Highness the Crown Prince agreed to this matter. His Highness the Crown Prince also felt that if this matter could be accomplished, it would be considered a piece of his credit, so he was particularly concerned about this matter."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has hired several extremely skilled people to follow me. They only work as ordinary servants on weekdays and are inconspicuous. In fact, they want to ensure my safety."

I see.

Su Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, "His Royal Highness is interested."

"To put it bluntly, I can be considered a person who can be proud of His Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally His Highness the Crown Prince should pay more attention to me."

Su Yunruo smiled with crooked eyebrows, but Su Yujin tilted her head.

Is that all?

Why do I always feel like there is something else...

——

He Yanxiu and Xing'an rode out of the capital and headed northwest.

According to what was written in Fei Ge's biography, he galloped for two hours and arrived at a mountain col that Shi Ding and Jun Song had mentioned.

This mountain is not big, and is connected with the mountains northwest of the capital. Because there is no beautiful scenery or special features, not many people visit it on weekdays. In addition, the mountains here are not high and the forest is not dense enough, so it is wild.

There are not many animals and few people come to hunt.

There is no land suitable for cultivation and planting near the foot of the mountain, so there are no villages. There are only one or two residential houses here and there. The lights are turned off in the middle of the night, and there is no movement.

It was a late autumn night, and the mountains were getting colder and colder. The cold wind that blew from time to time also made this mountain valley look even more desolate and cold.

There was no road ahead for the horses to move forward. He Yanxiu and Xing'an had to dismount their horses and tie their horses to the thick trees at the entrance of the mountain.

Walking along the rugged and narrow mountain road, Xing'an, who was holding a torch, felt a little uneasy, "Is this really true?"

"It's the path written in the letter. It's probably not wrong." He Yanxiu said.

"But there's not even a slightly flat place here, how can we..."

Before the word "Tibetans" could be uttered, Xing'an heard an extremely loud "rumbling" sound.

The sound was like muffled thunder. Although it was not harsh, it was extremely dull. Xing'an was so shocked that he stopped talking and even jumped to the side unconsciously.

But what happened next made Xing'an even more shocked.

The originally dark mountain in front of them suddenly opened a door out of thin air. Fire light emitted from behind the stone door. Shi Ding even walked towards He Yanxiu and Xing'an holding the torch in his hand, "Second Master."

He Yanxiu was also slightly startled by the scene in front of him. After looking at the cave that was dug directly into the mountain, he looked at the surrounding mountain col again and said, "Such a place was chosen. This Fan Rongxuan

It’s quite cunning.”

"There are more cunning things inside." Shi Ding said solemnly, "Second Master, come in and take a look."

Seeing that Shi Ding, who usually had a playful smile on his face, was now full of seriousness, He Yanxiu couldn't help but cheer up and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes." Shi Ding held up the torch and walked ahead.

He Yanxiu and Xing'an followed.

The cave is long and circuitous, but the stone walls are polished very smooth. There are oil lamps or candlesticks every ten steps on both sides, transoms every twenty steps, and secret doors every fifty steps...

After passing through countless candlesticks, transoms and secret doors, entering several doors, and even passing through the mountain and another mountain, He Yanxiu followed Shi Ding into the door that had been opened since entering the mountain.

The largest door.

Behind the door seems to be a valley with flat terrain. There are many houses and furnaces in it, as well as tools and equipment such as forging and smelting.

With the stars in the sky and the torches burning at this moment, He Yanxiu examined it carefully.

What is smelted in the furnace is not gold and silver, but ordinary iron.

And the half-forged iron has already taken its basic shape, looking like a curved scimitar...

Shi Ding also pulled out a huge basket and dumped all the contents on the ground.

Long sword, dagger, scimitar, spear...

"There are many more inside." Juniper said, "Not only that, there are also some armors made of refined iron, and many more like this."

Looking along what Jun Song pointed at, He Yanxiu saw several pottery basins.

The pottery pot is no different from the pottery pots usually used to grow flowers and plants, except that there are several pots of very lush and blooming flowers growing in the pottery pot.

The flowers are gorgeous and beautiful, and two of them have already withered their petals, producing oval-shaped fruits that look like flower seeds.

"This is……"

He Yanxiu's face was gloomy, "Poppy?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, they were blown away by the wind whizzing through the gaps in the valley, and drifted to every corner of the mountain.

He Yanxiu's brows were raised high and did not relax for a long time.

Fan Rongxuan is more courageous than he imagined.

And some people are more ambitious than he imagined.

When the cold wind suddenly picked up, crows flew by in groups. After circling the bare branches several times, they landed on the strongest tree.

He Yanxiu looked up for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "It's winter already. With such a cold weather, it's probably time to snow."

Snow, snow...

…

The northwest wind has been blowing for two whole days, turning the entire sky gray.

After breakfast, snow beads fell from the sky and hit the ground in large numbers.

The weather is extremely gloomy. Looking at the situation, the snow is bound to be heavy and will not last long.

Qin Yishu lingered in front of Chongyang Hall for a cup of tea, then raised his hand, "Pass my message, and set off for Yunling Temple in an hour."

The late Emperor's birthday is the day after tomorrow, and everything has been prepared at Yunling Temple.

But according to the scheduled itinerary, Qin Yishu will set off tomorrow.

The weather has suddenly changed. In order to prevent the snow from getting heavier and the mountain being blocked due to heavy snowfall or delaying the late emperor's birthday, it is an excellent choice to go up the mountain to Yunling Temple one day early.

Minghai understood Qin Yishu's thoughts and hurriedly responded, "Yes, I will send someone to pass the message immediately."

To celebrate the late emperor's birthday, the female family members of the harem are not required to go, only the emperor and a few princes, princes, princes and important officials of the court.
