The emperor and Zhong'er have been in the secret passage for so long, will they encounter any danger?
Fortunately, he heard the knocking sound again, but it was difficult to distinguish the direction.
When General Chu was worried, he saw Xiaolei running towards him again.
"General Chu, help me. Brother Bai Xiao and Su He entered the secret passage in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion half an hour ago and never came out again. We went in and walked to the end, but no one was found."
"Another secret passage?"
General Chu frowned and paced.
"Again?"
Xiaolei naturally didn't know where the "again" General Chu came from.
Seeing that General Chu was in no mood to respond to Xiao Lei, the soldiers quietly told him.
"The Emperor and General Chu have also fallen into the secret passage."
Xiaolei's eyes widened in shock, what should he do?
General Chu tried to calm down and carefully analyzed the current situation.
Such a secret secret passage should only be known to the Northern Barbarian Emperor and his confidants. Even if he interrogates others, it will probably be useless.
They had just conquered the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, and they should have immediately informed the world, stabilized the people's hearts, and deployed the army.
However, if the news of the disappearance of the emperor and Bai Xiao leaks out, there is no guarantee that public sentiment will not be shaken and a riot will occur.
If we suppress it again at that time, we will become passive and waste time and energy.
"Come here, block the news and take all the northern barbarians away from here.
For those Northern Barbarian ministers, interrogate more details about the Northern Barbarian Kingdom so that they have no time to think wildly.
Go find some tools and smash through the ground!"
"Yes, General."
General Chu didn't know where the Northern Man Emperor was now, controlling the mechanisms in the secret passage.
But now, capturing the Northern Barbarian Emperor is a small matter, but rescuing people is a big deal.
"Guard Xiaolei, you also take people to demolish the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion! Don't be afraid of causing trouble, just say that you want to arrest the Imperial Preceptor, it will just scare the Northern Barbarians and delay time."
"Yes, General."
At this time, Jun Lingyun, Qing Feng, Chu Wenzhong, Bai Xiao and Su He in the tunnel were also trying to save themselves.
It's just that there are many forks in this secret passage, and there are countless traps. Every step they take is extremely difficult, for fear of triggering another mechanism.
As soon as Jun Lingyun opened a door, he immediately turned sideways and closed it, because hot flames suddenly spurted out from inside the door. If he had been half a step slower, he would have been turned into charcoal!
Qing Feng and Chu Wenzhong were so shocked that their three souls lost their seven souls.
Chu Wenzhong took a step forward:
"Your Majesty, why don't you do it yourself to open the door? Leave it to me."
Qingfeng has already walked to another door.
"Little General Chu, please don't steal my job."
Bai Xiao and Su He on the other side had just used Qinggong to pass through a passage full of rats.
The passage smelled of rotting meat, which showed that these rats were raised by humans.
Thinking of the plague in Yunxiao Kingdom a few days ago, Bai Xiao's fists clenched.
That’s thousands of lives!
It is true that the royal family of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom committed a heinous crime by attacking ordinary people! How could he be born into such a family?
General Chu, who was on the ground, watched the soldiers smash for a long time, but only made some small holes in the stone slab.
He simply took the heavy hammer from the soldier's hand and smashed it himself.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of heavy beatings echoed throughout the hall.
The soldiers watched with bated breath, once, twice, three times...
"There's a crack, there's a crack!"
They shouted excitedly, and then rushed to smash the crack. General Chu moved his numb arms, and really wanted to curse.
What kind of stone is he *? It’s harder than a hammer!
It wasn't until dark that they finally dug out a small hole as thick as an arm.
The soldiers quickly lay down on the ground, followed the small hole, and threw a firecracker down while shouting:
"Your Majesty, General Chu, are you down below?"
Unfortunately, not only was there no response, they also didn't see any trace of anyone.
"General Chu, there is no one below!"
When General Chu heard this, he went to the entrance of the cave to have a look.
He turned his eyes around, and indeed he only saw an empty stone chamber.
General Chu scratched his head anxiously, where had the emperor and Zhong'er gone?
Didn't it fall? How could there be no one?
Could it be that there is a secret door down there and they found their own way out?
"Smash, keep smashing!"
If it didn't work, he demolished the Northern Barbarian Palace! I can't believe that no one can be found!
At the same time, Chu Yunxi, who was far away in the Royal Palace of Yunxiao Kingdom, was looking at the peaceful sleeping faces of the two children, feeling extremely satisfied in his heart.
The children are safe and sound, and the medicine shop she asked Si Qi to open has been successfully opened with good results.
The people were not only happy but also knew that there was a female medical officer in the palace.
At this time, many families who did not allow their girls to study also changed their minds.
Maybe, my own female baby will be able to be as glorious as the female medical officer in the future.
The number of female students sent to the academy has increased significantly, and Chu Yunxi is happy for them from the bottom of her heart.
Xiaolian looked at Chu Yunxi from time to time. Not only was the Queen eating and drinking well these days, she didn't show any signs of anxiety at all. She didn't understand.
"Queen, I would like to ask you a question."
Chu Yunxi waved her hand and asked the wet nurse to take the child back to the house and sleep. She glanced at Xiaolian funny.
"When did we, Xiaolian, become so cautious when speaking?"
Xiaolian immediately smiled ingratiatingly, leaned closer and asked:
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you why you don't seem to be worried about the Emperor at all?"
It would be fine if the emperor and the empress did not get along, but it was clear that the empress and the emperor were inseparable and had a deep relationship.
Chu Yunxi thought of what she saw in the library tower.
Jun Lingyun's journey was smooth, and the army was approaching the northern barbarian capital. As expected, he would be able to capture the northern barbarian country in a few days.
In such a situation, although she still dared not be careless, she would not be so anxious anymore.
After looking at Xiaolian who was full of questions, Chu Yunxi smiled mysteriously.
"Because I go to bed early."
"Ah?" Xiaolian was confused. What does this have to do with going to bed early?
"Xiao Lian, I heard that you got a new painting. Did you give it back as a gift?"
Chu Yunxi successfully changed the topic, and Xiaolian immediately turned into Honglian.
"Oh, it's true that Si Qi can't hide anything."
"Oh, it seems that our Xiaolian has grown up and has our own secrets."
Chu Yunxi's eyes that seemed to see through everything made Xiaolian's little heart beat fast.
"I, I'm going to make the bed for the Queen."
Xiaolian ran into the inner room, Chu Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled, she will protect her people in this life.
After getting into bed and falling asleep, Chu Yunxi found Jun Lingyun's biography and read it.
Ever since Jun Lingyun left Beijing for the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, this has been the first thing she must do after falling asleep every night.
"Jun Lingyun and his sworn brother Bai Xiao reunited, and the defenders of the northern barbarian capital either died or surrendered.
Mu Qier and others responded in the capital, the city gates were wide open, and Jun Lingyun led his troops directly into the Northern Man Palace."
Chu Yunxi felt relieved. Sure enough, everything was going smoothly as planned.
Jun Lingyun and her father and brother should be back soon, right?
