As he walked in, he saw some forks.
Chu Chi sent people to investigate and found that these forks all led to the same direction. It was not complicated.
Therefore, they did not take a detour and followed the passage straight ahead. However, after passing the last secret room, the scene in front of them made everyone stop in their tracks.
Corpses!
Dense piles of corpses!
Dian Wei carried his halberd and led his men forward with torches to check. The remaining passages were covered with corpses, and the floor tiles were dyed red with blood. It seemed that they had not died for long.
"Your Highness, they are the guards of the Prince of Qin.”Dian Wei replied.
In fact, Chu Chi had already seen the armor of King Qin's Mansion on these corpses. However, he couldn't figure out why these people died here.
Who brought them here? Why were these guards so obedient?
Since these guards trusted the person who brought them here so much, why did that person kill all of them here?
"Quickly look around and see if you've found the Prince of Qin.”Chu Chi said.
Dian Wei led his men and began to examine the corpses one by one.
Ji Zi looked at the corpses and said,""These guards seemed to have died from sword wounds. The person who killed them had good martial arts, so these guards didn't have the slightest ability to resist.”
" Do you think the King of Qin is behind all this?" Bai Yishu asked. After all, the only people who could make these guards listen obediently were the people from King Qin's residence. The King of Qin did not want his son to enter the capital, so he deliberately put on such a show. Then, in order to prevent the news from leaking, he killed all these guards.”
"I can't rule out this possibility." Chu Chi nodded.”
At this moment, Dian Wei returned to report,"Your Highness, there was no sign of the Prince of Qin among the corpses."”
"Oh?"
Could it be that everything was just as Ming Zhu had said? Was all of this a trick by the King of Qin? Chu Chi thought to himself.
"Come, let's go a little further.”
After passing through the passage that was filled with corpses, they walked for a short while before they reached a staircase that led straight up. The staircase was not long, and when Chu Chi and the others came out of the passage, they found themselves in a valley.
The fog in the canyon was very thick, and it was impossible to see further away.
Chu Chi summoned the deputy and asked where they were. The deputy said that this place was called "Cloud Mist Gorge", which was surrounded by clouds all year round. Moreover, there was a legend that this place was haunted. No one who entered this canyon could come out alive.
"Hmph, haunted? I think someone is playing tricks!" Chu Chi said disdainfully.
"Your Highness, should I go in and investigate?" Dian Wei asked.”
Chu Chi quietly looked at the clouds in the valley. After a while, he replied,"There's no need. Since he's already escaped, he naturally won't let us find him so easily. There will be plenty of opportunities to fight in the future.”
" Your Highness," Bai Yishu asked curiously," are we not looking for the prince of the King of Qin?"”
"Let's not search anymore. The canyon ahead is covered in clouds and fog, and our vision is not good. If someone sets up an ambush inside, we will probably suffer heavy losses.”Chu Chi said.
After that, Chu Chi led everyone back into the passage and began to return to the Courier Station.
In the Cloudmist Gorge.
A black shadow flashed past, and then a few conversations sounded.
"How is it? Has the son of the Prince of Beiliang entered the canyon?”
"No, they retreated."
"What is it? Why would it go back? Did he give himself away?"
"I'm not sure. What should we do now?"
"Tsk, what else can we do? Retreat."
At this moment, a cold female voice sounded from behind the group of mysterious people.
"Everyone is leaving just like that? His Highness has invited all of you to stay for a while.”
"Who are you?"
In the next moment, a series of miserable screams rang out from the depths of the Cloudmist Gorge. The sound really had the feeling of a ghost wailing in the night, making people's hair stand on end.
........
Chu Chi returned to his room, sat in front of the table, poured himself a cup of wine, and quietly drank it.
"Your Highness is really calm and composed." Ji Zi smiled when she saw this."You're still in the mood to drink after such a big incident.”
Bai Yishu peeled an orange for Chu Chi and said,""Eighteen years ago, the Qin Consort suddenly disappeared. Now, her child, Xiao Yu, the son of the King of Qin, has also suddenly disappeared. Don't you think this is very interesting?”
Chu Chi took the orange from Bai Yishu and stuffed it into his mouth.""It is interesting. Two princes set out together, but only one prince entered the capital, while the other's whereabouts are unknown. Don't you think this matter is interesting?”
"What will the Emperor of Liang do? What will the King of Qin think?" Ji Zi narrowed her purple eyes. His Highness was caught in the middle and probably couldn't escape for the time being.”
"Ha, what can I do? Someone insisted on shamelessly rubbing against me.”Chu Chi shrugged innocently.
"What does Your Highness plan to do next?”Ji Zi asked.
Chu Chi said calmly," Continue to enter the capital. I want to see what other tricks they can play. As long as they move more, the fox's tail will be exposed more. We will catch them sooner or later."”
"If they want to pull me into the water, then we'll have to see if their pond is big enough.”
