Princess Jiaojiao is fierce and charming, making him blush and heartbeat

Chapter 31 Accidental Discovery
There is an invisible secret door on the wall, which cannot be seen from the outside at all, so you have to be very careful to find it.

Xie Liangyue faintly felt a bad premonition in her heart, she took a deep breath, and said to Qiao Ji, "Let's go."

In the gloomy scene, two vague shadows hold their breath, and behind the secret door lies the unknown.

As the door was opened, Qiao Ji immediately rushed up to block Xie Liangyue.

Xie Liangyue patted him on the shoulder from behind to reassure him, then looked inside, and found that there was nothing in the dark.

It was probably a tunnel inside, Qiao Ji walked in first, groped along the side with one hand, and held Xie Liangyue firmly with the other.

If you could borrow a gleam of light from the entrance of the cave just now, then now is the real blindness.

The two didn't dare to relax their vigilance, and took every step extremely cautiously, but the further they walked in, the more humid it became, and the air was still filled with a strong salty and bitter taste.

Xie Liangyue frowned, she felt a little nauseated, she took Qiao Ji's hand and asked him to stop.

"uncomfortable?"

Qiao Ji's caring voice was very clear in the darkness. He gently scratched the back of Xie Liangyue's hand twice with his thumb to show comfort, and said, "Let's go slowly."

Xie Liangyue let out an "um", and immediately fell into a hug.

She was a little dazed, and didn't quite understand what Qiao Ji meant, why her reaction today was so strange, and she didn't have any taboos from before.

Xie Liangyue held back her physical discomfort, although it was a little out of date, she still teased the people around her.

"Guard Qiao is very arrogant today. Is the princess easy to hug?"

I thought I would get the same reaction as before, but unexpectedly, the hand holding her tightened again, and a chuckle came from above her head.

"Good hug."

Xie Liangyue was stunned by his sudden change, and even the discomfort in her body was instantly forgotten.

She leaned against Qiao Ji's chest in a daze, unable to turn her head around, but felt that it was quite comfortable to lean against.

For Xie Liangyue, Qiao Ji always felt that a series of tragedies were caused by his too much forbearance in his previous life. He felt that he must not let go of this reunion.

It's just that the timing of his waking up was unlucky, and before he could slow down and tell the other party the real situation, he was disrupted by a group of ignorant people.

Although the location is awkward at the moment, the feeling of holding her is really satisfying.

It would be even better if the messy hand on the chest could be ignored.

He was teased by Xie Liangyue's unintentional actions, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he took a step back and asked, "Is it better?"

Only now did Xie Liangyue realize what she had done, she was a little embarrassed, coughed twice and said, "Okay."

"Then keep going."

Qiao Ji took her hand again and walked forward.

Xie Liangyue closed her eyes angrily behind, complaining inwardly of her disappointment.

This time they walked for about a quarter of an hour when they suddenly heard a noise.

Xie Liangyue became nervous in an instant, and grabbed Qiao Ji's hand tightly.

"It seems to be the sound of water." Qiao Ji said.

It is not surprising that the sound of water can be heard on the island, but they are obviously in the tunnel on the mountain.

"Did we actually go down? To the bottom of the island?"

Xie Liangyue guessed.

Qiao Ji shook his head and denied it, "No, if that's the case, the sound in the sea shouldn't be like this."

That's right, if it's in the sea now, then it's the sound of undercurrents at most, but it's clearly the "squeak" sound of water.

Such a secret place, combined with what Ji Chulan said, Xie Liangyue suddenly realized that there was indeed something tricky here.

The two tentatively walked forward for a while, and after a while, there was no way ahead.

"It seems to be an exit," Qiao Ji touched the place blocked in front, and patted it twice, "This should be a stone gate, it doesn't look heavy."

Then he lay on his stomach and listened for a while.

"The sound should come from here."

He turned around and pulled Xie Liangyue closer, and said, "For a while, step back by yourself. If it is safe to open the door, you will come over. If someone finds out, you should run back quickly."

Hearing this, Xie Liangyue grabbed Qiao Ji's arm violently, "Since I'm already here, how could I put you in danger alone. I don't know if those residents are still looking for us in the mountains. If they find out that we are hiding Entering here, I'm afraid there is no reason to say it."

Her voice sank, and her tone revealed the arrogance and unquestionableness of the royal princess: "I am not afraid, and you must not be afraid."

Qiao Ji found that his girl was really different from before. The princess who was afraid of pain, timid and delicate in the previous life seemed to be just an imagination of her own, but the one in front of her was the most real.

His throat moved undetectably, and he said, "Okay."

Qiao Ji turned around, grabbed the edge of the stone door with both hands, pushed gently, and it moved.

He collected himself, took a deep breath and exerted force suddenly.

There was a "wow".

The stone door was opened.

In an instant, a beam of strong sunlight shot straight at them.

Because the two stayed in the dark for too long, they couldn't bear such intense sunlight for a while, and it took half a day for them to recover.

Seeing that there was no one inside, both of them breathed a sigh of relief without exception.

But when they walked in and saw the situation here, the hearts that had just been let go lifted up in unison.

There is a large area of ​​flat land inside, at least half the size of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

There are square pools of similar shape on the ground, and there are some streams of different thicknesses flowing slowly beside them.

"What is this?"

Xie Liangyue exclaimed in disbelief.

Qiao Ji looked at everything in front of him with a gloomy expression, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Salt Field."

"What?" Xie Liangyue was puzzled.

"They're making private salt."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Liangyue's eyes widened instantly.

According to the law of Daqu, those who sell illegal salt will be imprisoned for more than ten years, and those who are serious will be at least 30 years. If the transaction amount is huge, beheadings abound.

But such a large-scale salt factory, I am afraid that it is not an exaggeration to copy and chop all over the house.

The sudden discovery shocked Xie Liangyue beyond measure. She walked up to Qiao Ji and said, "Ji Chulan told me that the people here are all very weird. He was suspected when he went to the medical center in the city to buy medicine for you yesterday." , they seem to be very afraid of outsiders."

Qiao Ji nodded, he turned around and looked at Xie Liangyue: "This matter is no small matter, we must find a way to go back to the inland as soon as possible, and tell King Zhao about it."

After saying that, the two were about to go out, but when they were only a few steps away from the exit, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"someone is coming."
