"No need, the tree is already dead and it won't survive if we move it any further."

"Young master, what you said is not right. They say that if a person moves a tree, he will die, but if the tree moves, it will live. This man has left his hometown and is lowly, so it is not easy to survive. But if the tree is moved, it may survive. Since the master is reluctant to part with it, the old slave orders someone to move it. If you dig it up and move it to a new place, you might be able to survive.”

The voices of the two people talking faded away, and they thought they had already left the courtyard.

Bai Xia stayed where she was, feeling frightened by the young man's keenness.

Judging from his appearance, he should be blind. Since he cannot see with his eyes, his other senses are more sensitive than ordinary people. Bai Xia just wanted to hide better before, so as not to be discovered by them, but he was unexpectedly caught. The boy was discovered.

Fortunately, he didn't mean to expose her, otherwise there would be some trouble.

She took out the painting that Li Xiuyuan painted for her and took a look at it. The young man before was too delicate and unlike the young man in her painting. She thought it was not him who imprisoned Li Xiuyuan.

Bai Xia carefully searched the yard and found that the yard was very quiet, with almost no one coming.

It may also be that someone has issued a ban and they are not allowed to come over.

This is the backyard. Apart from this young man, Bai Xia saw almost no other female relatives. From the servant's broken words, Bai Xia has already pieced together the information about this mansion. This is no other place, but Gan. The residence of Chen Ping, the governor of the state.

She didn’t know much about the governor. Whether it was the villagers in Lijia Village or the refugees from Liu Yunzhai, they rarely even went to the county seat in their lives, let alone the capital city of Ganzhou. Naturally, for the governor, There is no understanding.

After just searching, I didn't see any female family members. Except for servants and servants, there were very few maids.

Could it be that the governor has never married?
Bai Xia was suspicious, avoiding the patrolling officers and soldiers while exploring the mansion.

At night, she came to the southeast corner of the mansion, in an abandoned yard. The reason why she noticed this place was because when she was checking the last yard in the backyard, she suddenly heard a scream. Although He stopped quickly, but still caught her attention.

She groped her way here and discovered this courtyard.

As soon as she arrived outside the courtyard, before entering, she discovered that there were many people hiding in the dilapidated courtyard.

She didn't dare to get close and hid carefully, observing the overgrown yard.

Until nightfall, she didn't find a chance to go in. Just as she was planning to break in, she saw a light coming from the direction of the front yard towards the backyard, and the direction was exactly the dilapidated yard. She quickly pressed down and waited. opportunity.

"Master, they are inside"

Shizi?

Bai Xia was slightly surprised. In the afternoon, she was wondering who the prince was, but she didn't expect to see him at night.

The two people walked from far to near. The one walking in front was a servant holding a lamp. He lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly.

Behind him is a six-foot-tall young man wearing a white robe with an elegant temperament. The young man has black hair tied with a jade hairpin on his head. His face is slightly feminine, his eyes are deep, and he is holding a folding fan in his hand. Partially lazy and careless.

"Oh? Are you still alive?"

The young man paused outside the yard, his eyes fell on the deserted yard, his expression indifferent.

"Alive"

"You have a pretty good life." The young man sneered, not sure whether it was a compliment or a mockery.

The two walked into the courtyard and soon disappeared into the only intact room in the courtyard. Bai Xia did not hesitate, taking advantage of the moment when the young man entered and the defense was relaxed, he sneaked into the house and discovered a dark entrance on the ground. .

People from Ganzhou Prefecture really like digging secret tunnels.

Bai Xia murmured in her heart, feeling a palpitation in her heart when she looked at the dark entrance of the cave, fighting a mental struggle between going in and not going in.

In the end, the idea of ​​going down prevailed.

Because she discovered that the prince looked very similar to the young man Li Xiuyuan drew for her. She could only say that they were closely related by blood, but they didn't look like him.

She carefully stepped on the steps leading to the secret passage, her heart pounding.Thinking there might be an ambush below, just waiting for her to fall into a trap?

Although the thoughts in her heart were messy, her movements were extremely careful. She quickly reached the end. It was pitch black below and she couldn't see anything. After taking a step, she would listen carefully for a while to make sure there was no one in front of her. , will take a step forward.

After walking like this for a while, finally, a glimmer of light appeared in front of me.

This is the place to be.

Bai Xia became more careful, and voices came from the front.

"I don't care what method you use, you must confirm whether there is a jade tattoo on Li Jialin's right shoulder. Not only do you have to confirm it, you also need to get the tattoo pattern and find the jade tattoo."

The clear voice of the young man resounded in the dungeon where the light shined. Inside, two bloody men were paralyzed on the ground as if they had no bones. When they heard the young man's words, the two of them got up from the ground and knelt down respectfully: "Subordinate "Take orders"

"Okay, order someone to treat them well, don't affect my plan."

The young man glanced at it, then stopped looking, and motioned to the person waiting aside, who quickly held up a lantern.

Seeing this, Bai Xia quickly left the secret passage and left the abandoned yard before them.

Under the guidance of the lantern holder, the young man returned to the yard, opened the door of the house, glanced at the overgrown yard, waved to the air, and a man in black landed in front of him.

"Has anyone been here before?"

"There is one person"

"Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?"

"It's a child"

The young man raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his lips, and asked in surprise: "Is that mouse that slipped through the net actually a child?"

"interesting"

"I know, let everyone be more alert."

"Yes"

After saying that, the man in black disappeared in front of the young man. The young man left the yard happily and couldn't help but look forward to it.

In fact, he would not have come here tonight, but when the two people were punished for leaking the secret passage on Monday, they sent someone to report something, saying that they only met one person after arriving in Lijia Village. Later, the man followed them back to Ganzhou Prefecture.

When they entered the secret passage, that person was nearby. The leak of the secret passage was probably related to that person.

At this moment, his men discovered the footprints of another 4 people. He immediately guessed that this person must have sneaked into the mansion.

The man sent him a message when he left in the afternoon, which further confirmed this.

"Are you his descendant? Li Xiuyuan?"

The young man murmured in a low voice.

At this time, Bai Xia's face looked ugly, because she found that she could not get out. The entire governor's mansion was defended like an iron barrel, and every exit was guarded, so there was no chance of getting out.

Thinking of what she heard in the secret passage, her face turned even darker.

Because she guessed that the reason why she couldn't get out was because her whereabouts were discovered.

Damn it, why would she go to such lengths to investigate the identity of the person who imprisoned Li Xiuyuan? Now she roughly knew that the person might be a certain prince, but she still knew nothing else.
