What if I want to be a queen?
Chen Jian'an found a flat and secluded cave, got off his horse, tied it to a big tree nearby, and planned to spend the night here tonight.
"I'm going to find some hay and lay it here. They won't find it here so quickly. Let's rest for the night and find a way down the mountain tomorrow at dawn."
The whole mountain is so prestigious that even if all the people in southern Xinjiang form a circle, they still can't completely surround the bottom of the mountain. If they can find a breakthrough tomorrow and the two of them disguise themselves as villagers after descending from the mountain, there is hope that they can
Leave southern Xinjiang.
Jiang Fu nodded, took off her cloak and spread it on the ground, sat on it, patted the seat next to her, and motioned for Chen Jianan to sit over.
Chen Jian'an hesitated for a moment, then sat next to her, put his hand into the lapel of his clothes and took out a piece of chestnut cake wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Jiang Fu.
"Eat something to replenish your strength. If you feel sleepy, lean against me and rest for a while. I'll call you when it gets dark."
Jiang Fu smelled the sweet smell of chestnuts, took the oil paper bag, opened it, took a piece and put it into her mouth. The sweet taste instantly melted on the tip of her tongue.
"How do you know I like chestnut cake?"
She tilted her head and looked at the man beside her. Her heart was as sweet as her tongue.
"As Yao Niang said, I have already sent her and Yang Cheng out of the city. They should be on their way out of southern Xinjiang now. You don't have to worry about them."
Chen Jian'an said something to reassure her, Jiang Fu nodded, and suddenly realized that she didn't need to worry about anything when she was with him.
Some people are afraid that they will be tired, hungry, or worried about the people around them, so they will do everything they can for themselves.
She touched her chest and felt that something had changed since she got on Chen Jian'an's horse today.
"I won't tell you some things, but I believe you have guessed that General Huo has been rescued by my people and is currently hiding in Fuhu Village.
I came to southern Xinjiang this time to detoxify General Huo. As long as the general wakes up, he can accuse Yan Mingxi of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and bring him down completely."
In Chen Jian'an's hand, he held the dagger Jiang Fu gave him. The blade was slightly curled because he had blocked the assassin's blow before. A small gap was cut out in the middle, and it felt uneven.
Seeing Jiang Fu take a bite of chestnut cake, her cheeks were bulging like a chipmunk, Chen Jian'an chuckled and said:
"I know that you have secretly helped me many times. Whether you want to reap the benefits and move to the West Factory, or you are happy with me and have helped me many times. I will thank you today."
Jiang Fu waved her hands cheerfully, without any intention of repaying a favor. To be honest, everything she did was not for Chen Jianan, but for her father. She really deserved this thank you.
"Don't say any more polite words. You also saved my life and brought me chestnut cake, so it's even."
Her generous and free expression fell in Chen Jian'an's eyes, making him smile even deeper, and raised his hand to touch Jiang Fu's head.
"okay, I get it."
His intimate tone made Jiang Fu, who had always been rejected by him, feel a little uncomfortable.
She lowered her head and took a bite of the pastry, and asked tentatively:
"You have moved to Yan Mingxi with all your heart, but have you ever thought that perhaps the corruption in the imperial court was not due to treachery, but to the emperor's own stupidity?
Haven’t you ever thought about… replacing it?”
Chen Jian'an was a little surprised that she suddenly said such outrageous words. After two seconds of silence, he shook his head.
"What I have worked hard for all my life is peace in the world, peace and prosperity for the country and the people. As long as the people can live a good life, it doesn't matter who is sitting on the dragon throne."
His expression didn't seem to be fake, he really looked like a humble gentleman with the world in mind.
Jiang Fu suddenly became frustrated and complained in her heart why he was so hopeless. She chewed the chestnut cake in her mouth to vent her anger and said angrily:
"Then what if I want to be a queen!"
Chen Jian'an just thought she was joking, shook his head and laughed. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a light in front of him.
When he raised his head, he saw that half of the sky in the distance was lit up.
Jiang Fu stretched her neck and looked down the mountain, and saw a faint flash of fire. The fire was riding on the wind and spreading rapidly towards the mountainside where the two of them were.
"Are they crazy? They want to set fire to the mountain!"
Jiang Fu's pupils shrank, and the half piece of chestnut cake left in her hand fell to the ground.
Chen Jian'an stood up suddenly. How could a person run as fast as a fire? If the fire spread, the two of them would be unable to fly!
"What on earth did you do, and why did the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang suddenly want to kill you?"
Chen Jian'an looked at her suspiciously, always feeling that he had done something terrible behind her back. Otherwise, why would the emperor even do such things as burning mountains?
Jiang Fu looked up in the direction of the palace with some guilt.
The Queen...should be dead now, right?
"I...I just took revenge. That bitch Sang Qi is probably mad and wants to die with me."
Jiang Fu said bitterly, if she had known better, she should not have attacked the queen so early.
That's right, it shouldn't have been so early rather than sparing her life.
Jiang Fu didn't know what kind of person her mother was, but she had sent her out of the palace to save her life, and she was always indebted to her.
From the beginning, Jiang Fu had the idea of killing the queen to avenge her, which was considered as fulfilling the mother-daughter bond between the two.
"I'll leave here before the fire comes up."
Chen Jian'an said and went to lead the horse. Jiang Fu picked up the cloak on the ground and was about to go find him when her hand accidentally touched the sand brought up by the cloak. Her hand was completely black after being rubbed.
She looked at her palms in the firelight, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Look, this is mineral sand...there must be a mine near here, we can hide in the mine!"
Chen Jian'an heard this and looked towards the cave behind him. If this was a mine, there would probably be a mine tunnel in the cave!
"Go in and take a look!"
The two led the horses into the cave. Chen Jian'an took out a fire stick from his arms and blew it. The fire illuminated the situation inside the cave. Sure enough, there was a bottomless mine deep in the cave.
The mine is very deep and wide, and you can walk in it even with a horse.
"Let me tell you, I am blessed with great fortune and I will never be burned to death by that bitch Sang Qi."
Jiang Fu groped her way and walked at the front. The road under her feet was uneven and had a lot of gravel. It looked like no one had walked around for a long time. It was probably an abandoned mine.
The further you go inside, the more humid the cave becomes, and the horses' hooves slip on the wet stone surface.
"There seems to be the sound of water flowing ahead. There is probably an underground river. It is too dangerous to take Feiyun down. Let's leave him here for now and pick him up after we find a way out."
Chen Jian'an said and let go of the horse's reins.
The bay-red horse was not at all unhappy about being abandoned by its owner. Instead, it happily licked the mineral salt on the cave wall.
Jiang Fu touched the mane on its forehead.
"Wait here obediently, we will come back to pick you up."
After saying that, the two of them continued walking forward side by side.
The cave becomes narrower as you go inside, and traces of digging can still be seen on the stone walls, which should be the roads dug during previous mining.
The two of them walked for a full mile before reaching the end of the cave. The sound of water flowing from the narrow entrance came out, and Chen Jian'an walked out of the cave in the lead.
As soon as they exited the cave, their vision suddenly opened up, and the endless mines and underground rivers appeared in front of them.
"Holy darling, is this a mine or a weapons depot? With so many munitions, you want to blow up the entire southern Xinjiang!"
The mine is vast, with various weapons and explosives neatly placed. There are thousands of swords alone.
There were several large boxes placed in the corner against the wall. Chen Jianan walked over and opened one. It was filled with silver ingots.
"It seems that southern Xinjiang is not peaceful either. Some people are hoarding supplies here and preparing to rebel."
Chen Jian'an picked up an iron sword and looked at it. They were all made of fine black iron, which was as sharp as clay. Being able to gather so many swords must not have happened overnight.
Jiang Fu walked forward and picked up a bag of explosives.
It would be great if she could bring them all back. Then her father's mission would be completed in minutes. With these things, Yan Mingxi and the Dog Emperor would be blown up to the sky. Then whoever she wants to take the throne can be
ascend the throne.
"This underground river is living water. If you swim in the direction of the current, you may be able to lead outside."
Chen Jian'an put down the weapon in his hand and walked to the river, stretched out his hand to explore, then turned to Jiang Fu and said.
Jiang Fu looked at the explosives in her hand, and then at the river in front of her, with a confused expression:
"I'm not good at swimming. Going into the water will probably hold you back. Why don't you go down and find a way out first, and then come back to pick me up?"
There was an undercurrent surging underwater, and it was indeed dangerous to enter the water rashly. In addition, she was not good at water. Chen Jian'an nodded and agreed to her suggestion. After telling her not to run around, he turned around and jumped into the water.
The water in the underground river was freezing cold. After entering the water, Chen Jian'an was like a flexible fish, swimming against the direction of the current.
After he left, Jiang Fu stood on the shore and waited for a moment to make sure he would not suddenly turn back. She bent down to pick up two explosive packets and walked in the direction they had just come from.
There is such a huge underground treasure house, now that you have seen it, there is no reason not to take it!
She planned to blow up the exit so that no one could take out the contents. When she returned to Mingxia, she would find a way to find someone to slowly transport the contents out.
The noise of the explosive explosion was not small. Even Chen Jian'an in the water felt the vibration. However, when he came back, Jiang Fu was already sitting obediently by the river, with her two snow-white little feet still stretching into the river to play.
Water, you can't tell at all that she just fucked a big one.
"I have found the exit. The end of the underground river is in a cold pool at the foot of the mountain. Come down and I will take you out of here."
