Chapter 333: Come and meet me
Fox Mountain Ridge is not simply a mountain.
Instead, it is a mountain range connected by a continuous series of mountain ranges, with undulating terrain, resembling surging waves.
The mountains are filled with crisscrossing paths, which are rugged and difficult to traverse.
Especially at dusk, the miasma in the mountains is like an invisible fog, and with each breath, it feels as if an invisible force is pulling at the body.
After walking for a short while, Wu Weiwei began to feel her vision becoming blurry, and the scenery around her began to become indistinct. She felt as if countless eyes were watching her.
"Wu Weiwei, just keep walking in this direction. If you can come out of the other exit in three days, then you're lucky. Master Shen will no longer pursue the matter of you killing Miss He."
But if you can't get through this within three days, then good luck to you!
If you violate Master Shen's rules, you must accept the punishment.
After Zhuang Wenlin brought her here, he left with his men.
After the person left, a cold wind blew by, and Wu Weiwei suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She looked at the mysterious labyrinth before her, which seemed cursed. Three days?
In other words, if he could get out of the mountain within three days, perhaps she wouldn't die?
Thinking of this, Wu Weiwei tore off a dry branch and walked inside.
Suzhen Tribe.
Qingzhu received a letter saying that Wu Weiwei had been captured by Shen Bazhi's men.
Upon seeing this, Qingzhu's expression turned cold.
"Shen Bazhi, how dare you touch my woman!"
Qingzhu looked at her subordinate and said, "Go and have Chen Dazhuang come over here!"
Chen Dazhuang, who was surveying an iron ore mine with others, heard that Qingzhu was looking for him, so he quickly put down his work and ran back.
"Manager Qing, you wanted to see me?"
Chen Dazhuang looked at Qingzhu with admiration.
I thought they were just staying to help Mulan and Xue, but I never expected that they would actually take over their tribe.
However, all of this was thanks to Qingzhu. If it weren't for him, they would probably have been tricked and killed by the Suzhen tribe long ago.
The Suzhen tribe submits to the strong. If Qingzhu can quell the war between the two sides without losing a single soldier, then he is the undisputed king.
Naturally, Qingzhu has now become the leader of the Suzhen tribe, and the people here now listen to Qingzhu.
As someone close to Qingzhu, Chen Dazhuang was undoubtedly proud.
Seeing Chen Dazhuang's admiring gaze, Qingzhu pursed her lips.
"Dazhuang, now that the matter of the Suzhen tribe has been resolved, I'm handing this over to you and Qiu Ming. You two must keep a close eye on the iron mine, understand?"
"Manager Qing, are you going back?"
Hearing Qingzhu's instructions, Dazhuang was surprised.
Qingzhu frowned.
"My employer is in danger, I need to go back!"
Upon hearing that Wu Weiwei was in danger, Chen Dazhuang immediately understood.
"Understood, Steward Qing. Don't worry, I will definitely guard this place well!"
Qingzhu nodded.
Two days later.
Lu Hanting and his group finally arrived in Le'an County.
At this moment, in the Princess's residence, Liu Yun was anxiously waiting, for today was the day Qin Huaiyin would unveil her face.
It is said that the Gu poison in He Yuyan's body has been completely removed. The reason she has not woken up is probably because she has been affected by the Gu poison for too long and her body is weak.
"Dr. Chen, how much longer until Yan'er wakes up?"
The eldest princess said anxiously.
"Soon, Princess! Once the last needle is removed from the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head, the princess will wake up!"
"Okay, pull it out!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the doctor reached out and touched Qin Huaiyin's head.
"Reporting, Your Highness, Commander Lu pays his respects!"
Just then, a maidservant rushed in to report.
"Commander Lu?"
The princess was surprised. Why was he here?
Reception room.
"Your humble servant Lu Hanting pays respects to the Princess!"
"Get up!"
The eldest princess looked behind Lu Hanting and saw a black coffin placed behind him.
"Commander Lu, what do you mean by this?"
In broad daylight, he actually carried the coffin to her residence.
Lu Hanting lowered his eyes.
"Princess, I am guilty..."
Lu Hanting knelt down.
The princess looked surprised. What crime had he committed?
Just then, Liu Yun rushed in and knelt before the Princess.
"Your Highness, it was my fault. I saved the wrong person when I broke into the prison that day..."
"What did you say?"
The eldest princess was shocked.
"Your Highness, I fell for Shen Bazhi's trap. He secretly ordered someone to switch Miss Cousin with someone else. The person lying inside now is Miss Cousin's double..."
Liu Yun explained.
The eldest princess stood up excitedly.
"You mean, the person lying in Qingfeng Courtyard right now isn't my daughter, but a substitute?"
Lu Hanting had a cold and stern expression.
"Yes, she is not Yan'er."
"Where is my Yan'er now?"
Seeing his gaze drift towards the coffin, the princess immediately had a bad feeling.
Lu Hanting said with great sorrow, "Your Highness, it's my fault, Yan'er, Yan'er..."
"Report!"
Just then, a guard hurried in.
"What's the matter?"
The eldest princess looked at the guard who delivered the message, her face turning ashen.
"Your Highness, we have just received a message by carrier pigeon from Chulong Prefecture..."
The guard handed over the letter, and Granny Shi quickly stepped forward to take it.
The eldest princess forced herself to remain calm and opened the letter.
However, after seeing the contents of the letter, the princess's face turned from ashen to icy cold.
Upon seeing the letter, Lu Hanting knew it was likely detrimental to him...
Just as he was about to explain, the eldest princess suddenly slammed her hand on the table.
"Envoy Lu, how dare you! You actually dared to deceive this princess!"
Seeing the princess's expression, Lu Hanting knew that she must have learned the truth.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger! I did not intend to deceive you; I was forced by circumstances..."
"You still dare to argue? You condoned your concubine's murder of my daughter, and now you've even sent a stand-in to impersonate the princess. I ask you, what are your intentions!"
"Your Highness, that letter must have been sent by Shen Bazhi!"
Lu Hanting had already guessed the identity of the person in the letter, and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
If I hadn't arrived in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to even get through the city gates of Le'an County.
The eldest princess approached him directly.
"So what if he did? If he hadn't told me, I don't know how long I would have been deceived by you!"
Seeing the princess's angry expression, Lu Hanting's brows furrowed slightly.
“Your Highness, I admit that Yan’er was indeed killed by Madam Wu, but it was because Yan’er wanted to kill her that Madam Wu had no choice but to kill Yan’er in order to save her own life…”
"Is Wu your concubine?"
"Yes."
The eldest princess looked at him with a cold gaze.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you want to gain my forgiveness, bring me Wu's head!"
"The eldest princess..."
Lu Hanting looked up, his face showing surprise.
"What? You can't bear to part with it?"
