"Everything here has been pretty much done. Now we just have to concentrate on dealing with Yu Xiunan, and then we should be able to set off to meet Dongchen."
"Yes." Ye Fuxun looked at the blue sky and smiled brightly.
Bai Yuxian pinched the bridge of Ye Fuxun's jade-white nose and said with a smile: "Don't be so optimistic. It's better to be cautious. Yu Xiunan is really difficult to deal with. Don't let him notice anything.
"
"I know this, and I will not underestimate the enemy." Ye Fuxun narrowed her eyes and said, since the last time Bai Yuxian was poisoned, she did not dare to underestimate this person anymore.
Because Bai Yuxian was still in a poisoned state in Yu Xiunan's eyes, he could not go with them and could only follow them secretly, so Ye Fuxun could only face Yu Xiunan alone.
Early the next morning, Ye Fuxun set out from the Princess Mansion and went directly to the city gate to meet Yu Xiunan's team.
Yu Xiunan brought a lot of people with him. He estimated that there were hundreds of people, and they had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
Ye Fuxun came late on purpose, but he still had to say a few polite words in front of Yu Xiunan. "I'm so sorry. I didn't have a good rest last night. I got up late today and kept the second emperor waiting for a long time!"
Yu Xiunan looked at Ye Fulun with a half-smile and said, "I thought you didn't plan to come."
"Haha, how is that possible?" Ye Fuxun laughed, "Even if I don't think about myself, I still have to think about King Chen, right? His life is still in your hands, Second Emperor Brother."
"It's good that you know." Yu Xiunan looked away and got on his horse, "Let's go, don't waste any more time."
Jade Ridge is located to the south of Cangxue Mountain, thousands of miles away. It is part of the southernmost mountain range of the Western Kingdom. The mountain range spreads from east to west for thousands of miles. It is the best barrier for the southern border of the Western Kingdom.
The Jade Ridge sits on the north side of the mountain range, where it is hot and humid all year round, sparsely populated, and rarely visited by outsiders. From these aspects, it is an excellent place to hide treasures.
But the fact is that it is just a martial arts training ground that has been abandoned by Maple Grove Villa for many years.
All the way to the south, the farther we go, the more difficult it becomes. Most people who are used to living in the north will not be able to adapt to the climate when they suddenly come to such a hot and humid place.
Even people who practice martial arts all year round can't bear it, and Yu Xiunan is no exception, so he was delayed for many days.
Ye Fuxun didn't have much of a reaction. Maybe it was because Yu Siling's body had lived in Dongchen for more than a year, so she had gotten used to it.
When they arrived at a small village a hundred miles away from Cuiyu Ridge, it was almost dark. The group planned to stay in the village for one night before heading into the mountains tomorrow.
In the evening, Ye Fuxun came to see Yu Xiunan.
"If Sixth Sister doesn't go to bed earlier, why are you coming to me so late?" Yu Xiunan asked with a smile. In the past few days, he has been secretly observing Ye Fulun's every move to prevent her from causing trouble, but he
I didn't find anything wrong with her.
Ye Fuxun said: "I have a suggestion to tell the Second Emperor Brother, but I don't know if you are willing to listen to it."
Yu Xiunan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What's your suggestion?"
Ye Fuxun said sincerely: "I think you should take fewer people with you when you go to Cuiyu Ridge tomorrow, especially those who have not yet recovered. The road up the mountain is difficult after all. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it, and they will be in trouble.
other people."
"Then how many people do you think I should bring?"
"About fifty people. Fewer people will make it easier to move, what do you think?"
The expression on Yu Xiunan's face did not change, but he was already doubting the purpose of the other party's suggestion. "But I feel that there are many people and strength. If there is any danger, everyone can take care of each other."
,What do you think?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother Second Emperor, you are too worried. This is just an ordinary mountain. With so many people living nearby, what danger can there be?"
"That's not necessarily the case. There are many wild animals in the deep mountains and old forests, and there might also be man-made hidden dangers?"
Ye Fuxun pretended not to understand and sighed: "I'm just expressing my thoughts. If the Second Emperor thinks it's inappropriate, just pretend that I haven't been here and I'll go back first."
Yu Xiunan was very suspicious and had never truly believed in Ye Fuxun, so she was always on guard against her. Originally, it was better that Ye Fuxun did not make such a suggestion. He originally wanted to take only half of the people up the mountain first.
But Ye Fuxun's mention made Yu Xiunan suspicious, so he decided to go against her. This was Ye Fuxun's plan. These hundred or so people must be buried together with Yu Xiunan.
Ling, this way you can be foolproof.
Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, Ye Fulun followed Yu Xiunan and his party up the mountain.
The mountains and forests here are quite dense, and the towering ancient trees are lush and green, almost covering the sky. Only a small amount of light can penetrate. There are almost no roads inside. Even if you have a map, you will get lost accidentally.
Ye Fuxun followed Yu Xiunan. After walking for a long time, it gradually became difficult. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and said: "Brother Erhuang, we have been climbing for a few hours. Let's take a rest first. Everyone is here."
A little tired."
Yu Xiunan was eager to find the treasure, and originally didn't want to waste time, but when she looked back, everyone looked exhausted. There was still a long way to go, and they couldn't let them collapse from exhaustion.
He finally nodded and said: "That's fine, let's rest on the spot for as long as a stick of incense."
Everyone found a place to sit down and took out dry food to eat.
Ye Fuxun sat down on a moss-covered stone and looked back in the direction she was walking. She couldn't see anything but green. She couldn't help but worry a little, wondering if Bai Yuxian and the others could follow up.
Because Yu Xiunan kept an eye on her, she didn't dare to mark the route, so she could only rely on the tracking ability of Bai Yuxian and others.
We can only continue on our way.
Ye Fuxun had a dark face all the way and his eyes were full of fire, which made Yu Xiunan even more relieved.
After walking for more than two hours, we finally reached the highest point of Jade Mountain. We saw a tall mountain peak standing in front of us, and at the foot of the mountain was a cave.
The door of the cave was sealed with heavy stones, with ivy growing on both sides. The entrance to the cave was made of large rocks, already covered with moss.
Arriving in front of the cave door, Yu Xiunan glanced at Ye Fulun, who stood quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Yu Xiunan immediately walked forward and looked for the mechanism installed on the stone wall. After a while, he saw a raised stone under the vines, so he pressed it lightly.
As a rumbling sound sounded, the stone door slowly opened. Everyone curiously looked inside, but all they could see from the outside was darkness.
The few people in the lead were already eager to try and couldn't wait to go in. Yu Xiunan warned: "Be careful after entering, there will definitely be traps!"
