After waiting for a while, there was still no response, so she opened the quilt and got out of bed. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sound outside the room.

The next moment, the door of the house was opened from the outside, and a familiar figure suddenly appeared in sight, which made Song Baoling freeze on the spot.

The first thing Jun Tingsheng did after entering the room and closing the door was to look at the bed. When he saw the person standing barefoot on the ground, he was startled for a moment, and then quickly walked forward and pulled her to sit beside the bed.

"You are wearing too little, be careful of getting cold."

While talking, he wiped Song Baoling's feet clean with the handkerchief he carried with him, and then stuffed Song Baoling's feet into the bed together.

Song Baoling blinked at the person in front of her and felt a warmth in her heart. After Jun Tingsheng sat down, she asked: "I looked for you just now and couldn't find you. Where have you been?"

"I went to inquire about the news."

"How's it going?"

"It's not good. It's not as simple as I expected."

Jun Tingsheng had no intention of hiding it from Song Baoling. He had to let her know that this operation was complicated, so as to avoid unnecessary dangers.

Song Baoling's heart became heavy, and the scene in the dream came to mind again. She didn't know whether she should reveal it to Jun Tingsheng.

If the other party asked about the reason for the dream, how should she explain it?

The next morning, the two of them packed up and prepared to go out. As soon as they reached the yard, there was a knock on the door.

Jun Tingsheng signaled Song Baoling to hide with his eyes, then walked behind the door alone and asked in a low voice: "Who?"

"Excuse me, are you the Crown Prince of Chengyang?"

The person outside the door asked back, and Jun Tingsheng immediately became more vigilant and asked again: "Who are you?"

"The lower official, Zhao Quanwan, is the magistrate of Liuzhou County and has come specially to greet the crown prince."

Jun Tingsheng was a little surprised. Except for Jun Yelan and his father, no one else was informed about his coming to Wuzhou. How did this person know about it?

And they were able to find their hiding place so accurately. Could it be that they were spotted on the way here?

Jun Tingsheng calmed down, then opened the door, looked at Zhao Quanwan who was bending down to salute, and asked casually: "How did Mr. Zhao know that I am here?"

"Liuzhou City is not big, and there are usually no outsiders. I just received the news today."

Zhao Quanwan always had a smile on his face. He looked at Song Baoling walking over and saluted her.

"Your Majesty, this place is remote and this young lady may not be able to adapt to it because she is still young. How about staying at the official's house temporarily?"

Jun Tingsheng knew that the other party came with bad intentions, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to find out, so he agreed.

The two of them followed Zhao Quanwan to the mansion. Food was already prepared on the table, but the food looked a bit plain, as if they deliberately created an appearance of incorruptibility.

"Eating at home has always been simple, but today we have added a few dishes. I hope the prince will not dislike it."

After Zhao Quanwan greeted the two of them to sit down, he ordered his servants to get wine. While pouring wine for Jun Tingsheng, he said: "This is the wine made by the official himself. Although the ingredients are very simple, the taste is still very good."

."

Every word and deed revealed that his family was poor and his official position was incorruptible, but he didn't know that there was a saying that said, "There is no three hundred taels of silver here."

Jun Tingsheng saw through it without telling him, he just dealt with it casually. After all, he knew there must be something wrong with this person just from the empty powder magazine.

In the middle of the meal, Song Baoling saw that the time was right and left under the pretext of urinating. He went to the backyard and released the little snake. He followed it around the mansion. When it reached a certain place, the little snake stopped and stopped moving forward.

"Is there a problem here?"

Seeing the little snake nod its head, Song Baoling stepped forward and carefully looked around, and found a secret passage.

She tried various methods to enter, but in the end she was unsuccessful. Seeing that it had been a long time, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, she had to give up and return to the dinner table.

Jun Tingsheng also noticed something was wrong when she left. Although the dishes on the table in front of her were very simple, the tableware they used were valuable items.

Ordinary people may not understand this, but they come from the capital and have seen many good things since they were children. They can recognize them as long as they look carefully.

The two of them looked at each other and ate calmly. Jun Tingsheng and Zhao Quanwan were chatting and laughing at the dinner table, like like-minded friends.

"Uncle, I don't want to live here, I want to go back."

After dinner, Song Baoling suddenly acted coquettishly and wanted to go back to the small courtyard where he lived. Seeing this, Jun Tingsheng pretended to persuade him: "There is no one to serve you there, so just stay in Mr. Zhao's house."

"I don't want anyone to serve me, I want to go back."

Jun Tingsheng sighed at the right moment and nodded helplessly in agreement, "Mr. Zhao, thank you for your hospitality today. I will take Ling'er back first."

Zhao Quanwan tried his best to keep the two of them living in the mansion, and several people went back and forth. Finally, Jun Tingsheng successfully left the mansion on the grounds that Song Baoling did not like living with strangers.

Back in the small courtyard, Song Baoling let the little snake out for air, looked at Jun Tingsheng who was drinking tea, and walked forward hesitantly.

"I just discovered a secret passage in Magistrate Zhao's mansion, and I think he is very problematic. You must be careful about him in the future."

Jun Tingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, "How did you discover the secret passage?"

Since it is a secret passage, how could it be easily discovered.

Song Baoling knew this and had no intention of hiding it. He truthfully told the little snake about exploring the road.

"Your little snake... can find the way?"

"Well, I only found out later."

"Then can I borrow it from you?"

Jun Tingsheng suddenly asked to borrow the little snake. Song Baoling was stunned and subconsciously asked: "What do you want it to do for you?"

"There's something wrong with that gunpowder magazine. It's been so long that not even half of it has been manufactured."

"Do you suspect that the gunpowder was hidden?"

"It's possible."

Hearing this, Song Baoling thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let the little snake help explore the path. Maybe we can find something."

Jun Tingsheng took the little snake to the gunpowder magazine and secretly put it in when no one was around. But not long after, the little snake suddenly swam out.

"Didn't find it?"

Seeing the little snake swim to his feet, Jun Tingsheng squatted down and tried to pick it up with some disappointment. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the little snake suddenly changed its direction and headed towards the back of the powder magazine.

Before setting off, Song Bao Lingling specifically told him to believe in the little snake. Jun Tingsheng thought that since Ling'er had said so, he should just believe it once, so he immediately followed him.

Behind the gunpowder magazine was a barren mountain. The little snake seemed to have discovered something and kept walking inside. Jun Tingsheng knew that he had no other choice but to trust the little snake.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the little snake suddenly stopped under a big tree. Jun Tingsheng sensed something was wrong and immediately walked over lightly.

"That is……"

Jun Tingsheng's face was full of shock. Just at the foot of the mountain opposite, he saw an identical gunpowder magazine, and the door was heavily guarded.

Could it be that this is the real powder magazine? The one outside is a cover?

"Hiss..."
