Chapter 398 Betrayal
Following the twists and turns along the dark secret road, we finally reached the end.

Jiang Fuguang seemed to have tripped over something under his feet. He staggered slightly and fell into Ji Ruxuan's chest. Ji Ruxuan hugged her tightly and saw a pile of corpses lying on the ground, at least a dozen of them.

"It should be a dry well," Ji Ruxuan didn't mention the bones at the bottom of the well and helped her stand upright, "I'll go up and take a look first."

It was too dark at the bottom of the well, and the surroundings were filled with a cold, decaying aura, which was so creepy that Jiang Fuguang felt a chill running down his spine.

"You," she said a little scared, "come back quickly."

Ji Ruxuan k Fast."

Jiang Fuguang's hair stood on end as he immediately guessed what the "bad things" were referring to.

The dry well was originally an escape route. The walls of the well were uneven and there were many points of strength. Ji Ruxuan climbed up to the wellhead without any effort. He pushed open the big stone sealing the well with his hands and jumped out of a dry well.

The exit of the secret passage is located in a remote and dilapidated courtyard. Weeds grow in the courtyard and no one has been there for a long time.

It was dark, dead and gloomy all around. A gust of night wind blew, and the grass and trees opened their teeth and claws, like ghosts, and made whimpering sounds. This small courtyard must be "haunted". I think after Sheng Lilong built the secret passage, he made this place so as not to be exposed. The small courtyard is deserted.

He looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. Thinking that there were more than a dozen corpses in the dry well that had been dead for who knows how many years, Jiang Fuguang would be scared to stay alone in the well, so he quickly jumped back into the well.

"Sheng Lilong shouldn't do anything, let's go up first."

Jiang Fuguang threw herself into his arms and tightly hugged his waist with her hands. Her slender body trembled slightly in his arms. It looked like she was very frightened.

Ji Ruxuan hugged her full of arms and couldn't help teasing: "Before, at Sheng Lilong's residence, you were alone and were attacked by more than a dozen soldiers with knives. How come you were never so afraid?"

Not only was he not afraid, but he was also able to talk to Sheng Lilong.

People who are not even afraid of death are actually afraid of a dozen corpses.

"Can it be the same?" Jiang Fuguang buried his face in his chest, his voice muffled, "Let's go up quickly."

Ji Ruxuan didn't waste any words, put his arm around her waist, and after a lot of effort, he led Jiang Fuguang out of the dry well.

As soon as the two people left the small courtyard, there was a noise in the distance, and countless guards holding torches were running back and forth in the inner courtyard.

Ji Ruxuan took Jiang Fuguang and hid in a hidden corner, with the bushes blocking her figure. Several maids held up their skirts and walked towards this side with panicked looks and hurried steps.

"Oh my God, who is so bold as to kill Lord Sheng Jinbo at Madam Lian Na's night banquet?"

"Who knows? I heard that Master Sheng Jinbo was assassinated in the latrine and his throat was cut with a knife. It was really tragic."

"Ms. Lian Na was so angry that she threatened to cut the murderer into pieces and ordered the guards in the palace to search for the murderer everywhere. She didn't know if they could find him."

"Stop talking. Madam Lina has summoned all the servants in the house. She must suspect that it is a traitor. Maybe we will be in trouble."

"..."

Several maids were so frightened that they didn't even dare to say anything and quickly walked away.

In the corner, Jiang Fuguang watched the maid go away, and there was no one around. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you kill Sheng Jinbo?"

"Ok!"

It's a pity that Sheng Jinbo died too cheaply. Ji Ruxuan was a little dissatisfied: "Sheng Jinbo is Mrs. Lian Na's only son. Mrs. Lian Na dotes on him. Mrs. Lian Na has lost her beloved son. She will definitely mobilize people to find the real murderer. , As a result, there will be many omissions in the guards of Sheng Mansion." This is the escape route he arranged.

Thinking of Sheng Jinbo's unabashed coveting of her in the hall before, and seeing his serious explanation of the reason for killing Sheng Jinbo, Jiang Fuguang couldn't help laughing.

Ji Ruxuan lowered his eyes: "Why are you laughing?"

Jiang Fuguang shook his head.

The guards who were searching for the murderer finally left. Ji Ruxuan and Jiang Fuguang covered their way all the way and touched the wall of the back alley of Sheng Mansion. The wall was nearly two people high. It was built tall and strict. The wall was densely packed with many sharp tiles. .

"Hold me tight."

Jiang Fuguang wrapped her arms around his waist and clasped her hands together. Ji Ruxuan hugged her, jumped up the high wall, tapped her toes, fell safely into the deep alley, and ran towards the entrance of the alley.

Still more than thirty feet away from the alley, Ji Ruxuan stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Fuguang lay in his arms, feeling that every inch of his body was suddenly tense and full of strength.

Ji Ruxuan didn't answer. He stared at the entrance of the alley, bent down and put her down, and quickly took out the sounding arrow.

In the silent night, a sharp sound pierced the air, and two small arrows burning with fire rushed into the sky. Two sparks suddenly flashed in the night sky, exploding in mid-air, and the firelight shot out in all directions, like meteors streaking across. The sky smashed into the city.

With a cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will meet each other.

Immediately afterwards, figures swayed at the entrance of the alley, flames shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and countless soldiers holding torches blocked the entrance of the alley.

Jiang Fuguang's hands and feet were cold: "Did Sheng Lilong betray us?"

Ji Ruxuan blocked her behind him: "It should be him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard blocking the alley gave way, and in the dense firelight, Ge Lisi's face, which had become somewhat feminine, was revealed.

Wearing a breastplate and a felt hat, he was sitting on a horse and looking down at them. Soldiers with swords drawn around him formed a human wall to protect him.

Ge Lisi sneered: "Eldest Princess, you're fine!"

When he returned to Yunzhong from the Southern Dynasties, he discovered that there were problems with his body. First, he was proud of his masculine appearance, and he began to feel depressed. Even the doctor could not find any problems.

Soon after, he gradually discovered that his body hair had decreased, his voice had become a bit shriller, and his face was still the same, but not as masculine as before, with a feminine look.

He was so frightened that he consulted many famous doctors, but they were unable to do anything. Instead, there were many rumors about him being "incompetent", which made him lose all his dignity.

Ge Li thought about it and suspected that it was the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty who was responsible.

Perhaps when he was in the palace, Duke Cheng'en's government failed to plot against the eldest princess, so Princess Ning Yuan took the blame. However, the eldest princess held a grudge against him and secretly poisoned him.

Therefore, when his father wanted to set up a dragnet in Dali City to capture the eldest princess, he immediately asked his father to hand over the matter to him.

He immediately brought three hundred soldiers and came to Yuexi City. Unexpectedly, Dali City was suddenly under martial law in advance, and no one was allowed to enter except for material transportation.

 My family, who knows, I got sick for no apparent reason, with no signs at all. . . . .My voice feels like a razor blade~, uncomfortable~
