    Admittedly similar questions, he seemed to have asked me more than once when he was in the village.

    Unfortunately, the answer has never changed.

    "This is the last answer." I struggled to break Xu Fang's hand: "In this world, there is no if."

    Xu Fang's voice echoed in the roaring night wind, "Really?"

    The memory blurs again, but if I think about it a little more, the headache will get worse. I hold the window coffin with both hands, and close my eyes, trying to catch more fragments that happened after the scene——

    In the dim light... I seem to have been imprisoned in a dim room, with my hands tied, someone approached, squeezed my chin and fed a pill into my mouth... But who was that person? Why can't I remember what that person looks like anyway?

    After that? Alone... I ran for my life on the mountain road, and a group of masked killers chased me down and drove me to the edge of a cliff. I retreated step by step and jumped—

    The feeling of weightlessness at high altitude is the last memory.

    Then there is the overwhelming darkness, and can't think of more in any case.

    The dull pain in my heart spread all over my limbs, my feet softened, and I slumped on the ground for a while, like falling into an abyss.

    A Zuoyan quickly picked me up: "What's wrong with Your Highness? My subordinates will immediately send Imperial Physician Zhou to come..."

    I raised my hand to stop, "No need..."

    "His Royal Highness!" Ah You was obviously anxious, "It's better to cancel tonight's trip..."

    I was saddened in my heart, but smiled, "They worked so hard and played such a good game of chess, how could Ben Gong not accompany them to the end."

    Ah You didn't know why, "They...they?"

    There's something I've always felt wrong, but I can't remember what's wrong.

    I disappeared two years ago on the birthday of the concubine. The birthday of the concubine coincided with the plum season in January. At that time, someone saw me fall from the cliff above Lingshan Mountain, but the body under the cliff was not me.

    Afterwards, I lost my memory every day because I lost my soul and lost my mind. My initial impression was that I was picked up by Xu Fang in Chenjia Village as a Hefeng.

    It was the peak season of peach blossoms in March, which lasted for two months.

    The distance from Chenjia Village to the capital would be exactly two months.

    But if I followed my previous expectations, it would have taken me far longer than two months to travel to Chenjia Village after losing my memory.

    Then there is only one last possibility left.

    After I lost my memory, someone took me out of the capital day and night, and kept my name incognito in Chenjia Village.

    And this person, only him.

    That night, Xu Fang rashly appeared on Lingshan Mountain.

    Chapter 39

    The green hills are winding and the peaks and peaks are rugged. If the lonely forest and mountains are not piles of graves, it should be a wonder of the dense forest.

    Most of the tombs here are mounds of the same size, with no names on the stele. I think it is either a dead person with nowhere to bury, or a lonely soul who died in the early years of war and plague.

    In the middle of the night, listening to the shrill wind whistling in this barren mountain, Wu Pingting led the way with a lamp in front, and A Zuo Ayou was closely guarding her. She still felt terrifying and shuddered.

    The terrain of Wanfengang is dangerous and steep, so I had the foresight to change into men's clothes before going out. When Wu Pingting saw my appearance as a Confucian student admiring the moon, she couldn't help but ask, "Why does the princess have to bring a fan?"

    I spread out the golden-edged folding fan nervously and said, "I think that I will see the legendary pineapple soon, and I will be empty-handed. It is always inappropriate."

    Wu Pingting: "..."

    The mountain wind was like a gust of wind, and the wilder and rougher it went up, almost giving people a psychedelic illusion.

    I was a little tired from climbing, and sighed bitterly, "I heard that King Rui of the former dynasty was also a famous scholar in his early years, how could he have thought of putting a secret place in such a place?"

    Wu Pingting said: "My father said that Wanfen Mound was used to bury the dead soldiers of the previous dynasty's rebellion, or it has a relationship with King Narui."

    I was slightly startled, and panting on my waist with one hand, I looked around and said, "But the ten thousand graves are so endless, where exactly did your father tell you before he died?"

    Wu Pingting paused for a while, and finally said lightly: "To the southwest, under the birch tree, next to the bluestone monument, in the ancient tomb."

    After saying that, I walked straight ahead, A Zuo A You glanced at me at the same time, and I whispered, "Follow me."

    The dark clouds cover the moon, the rough wood is small, and there are occasional green ghosts floating in the air on this empty burial and wild ridge.

    I sighed slightly in my heart.

    Even if there are ghosts in the world, and they are buried here, who will listen to whose cry, and who will not be sad because of whom.

    After walking for another incense stick, A Zuo suddenly pointed to a tall tree not far away and asked, "But that?"

    Wu Pingting stepped forward quickly, raised the lantern and said, "This is the place!"

    Another wordless monument.

    Except that the mound is slightly higher, it does not look much different from other tombs.

    Wu Pingting stretched out her hand and scratched the mound.

    Seeing this, Azuo and Ayou also stepped forward to help, and soon, a small tomb of clothes and crowns was in sight.

    I tilted my head while holding the fan, but I saw that the tomb gate was quietly hidden behind the tombstone.

    "There are thousands of graves in Qinglin Mountain, no wonder that Feng Li has worked so hard to find nowhere." I smiled, "Thanks to Miss Wu's careful attention, otherwise it would be difficult to find it in the middle of the night."

    Wu Pingting glanced at the lineup of Azuo and Ayou, "Does your Highness only intend to let these two guards deal with Feng Li?"

    "Miss Wu, you think too much."

    I gave a little signal to Azuo and Ayou. They raised their fingers and whistled, and bursts of flames lit up in all directions. Thirty-eight shadow guards appeared in unison, and began to tie the torches in their hands to the long sticks, and then embedded the long sticks into them. In the soil, in less than a while, this small piece of cemetery was ablaze with fire.

    Wu Pingting was puzzled: "What is this?"

    I smiled lightly and said, "To create the illusion that we are numerous and powerful."

    Wu Pingting frowned, "In this way, Feng Li will soon find out our whereabouts and wipe us out."

    "He won't."

    "How can you see it?"

    I thought about it and felt that I didn't have time to explain too much to her, so I said, "Because not long after we went up the mountain, Qinglin Mountain was surrounded by the commander Si Qianjun."

    Ah You glanced at me in surprise, but didn't ask any further questions.

    Wu Pingting looked at the low door of the tomb, and tried to push it, but there was no response, "Is this door sealed?"

    I found a flat rock and sat down, beckoned to A Zuo and said, "Take down this tombstone for this palace." A Zuo said, "Demolish, demolish the tomb?"

    I smiled and said, "Don't let Ben Gong repeat it a second time."

    A left did as he did.

    He dug with his family sword for a long time, but when he tried to move the tombstone, he couldn't move it.

    Ah You stepped forward to help, but the tombstone remained motionless.

    They both looked at me for help.

    I sighed and pondered: "Teach you one thing, usually when you want to move something that can obviously move but can't, it means that there is another mystery in that thing, and it is probably the key to unlocking the mechanism. "

    A Zuo A You suddenly realized, and tried to turn the tombstone left and right. As expected, the tomb door moved out one point after the tombstone rotated an inch. After the tombstone turned around, the tomb door completely opened, opening a dòng entrance.

    A Zuo looked around and said, "There is a secret passage inside, and the stone steps are facing down, so you can't see the bottom."

    I patted the ashes on my butt, stood up and smiled at Wu Pingting, "Please ask Miss Wu to lead the way, I'll follow you."

    Wu Pingting hesitated for a moment, then neatly pulled out the dagger from her boots, held the lantern, and bent over to enter the room.

    I turned to Ah You again and said, "Follow me to protect me, Ah Zuo guards the door, don't close the door, everyone else, stay in stealth."

    As soon as the words fell, the thirty-eight shadow guards disappeared like a conjuration. Looking over the mountain, it seemed that there were really only the three of us left.

    I stepped into the secret path with one foot, and Ayou pulled me and said, "I'm afraid that one of my subordinates will not be able to protect the princess comprehensively, so it's better to send more people to accompany you..."

    I glanced at her lightly: "If Feng Li enters this secret passage, the shadow guards will follow closely, it is always easier to attack from the rear; if he does not enter, our group will swarm in instead. Then he closes the stone door from the outside, starves for three to five or seven days or smokes it, and then we really can't escape."

    Ah Zuo thought for a moment and nodded, "My subordinates understand." Seeing Ah Zuo waiting to open her mouth, she stopped him and said, "Zuo, your goalkeeping mission is of great importance, and you cannot afford to miss it."

    Ah Zuo sighed and nodded reluctantly.

    The secret passage is narrow and inconvenient at the beginning. After walking a few steps, the stone wall gradually expands, and it becomes unexpectedly spacious.

    I looked left and right holding the torch, and every time I took a step, I could see the dust rising in the air, filled with the smell of dust for many years.

    Ayou followed me closely, probably because the secret path continued to go down and down, she was quite uneasy: "I don't know what purpose King Rui dug up such a secret path for? How could Feng Li be able to make such painstaking efforts? ponder."

    I said casually: "In places like the secret way, most of the secrets are not martial arts secrets, but gold and silver jewelry. The pineapple sounds like an anti-imperial court in the past, but seeing him act by himself and even his subordinates can't afford to ask for money, he should be relatively short of money. It's hard to do without money, not to mention a big event..."

    Wu Pingting suddenly said, "Feng Li may just not trust others. If he really wants to make thousands of dollars, there is no guarantee that other people will not have the intention of embezzling it."

    I nodded, "It can be seen that Pineapple still trusts Miss Wu."

    Wu Pingting looked back at me suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?"

    I shrugged and smiled and said, "If I were Miss Wu, I would not be able to take revenge on my own. Now that I know that this secret way is very important to the pineapple, I will draw a small map and post it everywhere, so that all the people in the capital, big and small. Farmers, officials and businessmen all know that there are treasures hidden here from the past, so even if the wind leaves the world, there is nothing they can do, but don’t you die of anger?”

    Wu Pingting was stunned, as if she never expected this to be one of the ways of revenge, "In this way, isn't it worthy of Jun Jinzhi's trust in my father?"

    I said, "That's why Feng Li trusts Miss Wu's character very much." Having said that, he turned a corner, and Ah You suddenly made an "ah", raised his finger and pointed to the end of the secret path, and there appeared a high wall.

    This wall is about two feet high and wide, and it is made of square-shaped bluestones.

    In addition, the remaining four sides of the stone wall are all natural rocks that have passed through the years, and there is no other way out.

    Ayou said incredulously, "Just...that's it?"

    I sighed, "Will King Rui just dig a hole and ask his son to bury himself here?"

    Wu Pingting took a closer look and suddenly said, "There are characters on the wall."

    I heard the words and took a few steps closer, but I saw that there were characters carved on the stone wall.

    I took a step back, held up a torch, and instantly illuminated the wall. I saw that every piece of bluestone was engraved with a character. Everywhere I looked, a column read "Cao, Xu, Qu, Feng, He, Sun, Gao, Ding"...." and so on.

    Ayou is inexplicable, "What are these?"
