Li Xiaoran nodded and disappeared with her men.

After General Guo and the others returned to the north camp, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The old generals quickly perked up and set up defenses before resting.

“By the way, Mr. Xia, how did you know that something had happened to us? Did you receive the message we sent you?” General Guo thought of something and asked.

Xia Changtian shook his head when he heard General Guo’s words.

“We didn’t receive any news. A woman called Shu Ruyue barged in and said that the generals were in trouble. She asked us to bring troops out to help you guys! At first, we were skeptical, but when the consort came out, she convinced us to bring our men over and we happened to encounter you guys being surrounded!”

General Guo was stunned when he heard Xia Changtian’s words.

“The consort? Where did she come from?! ”

When Wu Ke heard General Guo’s words, she said, “General, the consort is the woman who saved us in the thatched hut today!”

After General Guo came back to his senses, he was a little surprised.

“You’re saying that woman is the consort?”

“That’s right. I heard their people call her the consort! On second thought, it makes sense! If she wasn’t the consort, would a woman like her interact with us?” Wu Ke said.

When General Guo heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

“Go and send someone to investigate Luo Cheng. Once there’s news of Luo Cheng, report it immediately! The Third Prince is missing now. Luo Cheng and the Third Prince are on the same side, so let’s go and seek refuge with Luo

Cheng! ”

The others actually had the same thought, so they nodded.

On Luo Cheng’s side, after being trapped, he remembered what Wu Qinghe had told him and took out the first brocade bag.

There was only a note in the brocade bag. It said that the chance of survival was in the southwest direction.

After Luo Cheng received the hint, he began to look for the southwest side of the imperial mausoleum.

As expected, they discovered a secret room in the southwest.

The secret room wasn’t filled with gold, silver, or jewelry, but with a lot of food, firewood, and a well with an endless source of water.

After resolving the urgent matter, Luo Cheng and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Since they didn’t have to worry about their resources, the group began to think of a way to leave the imperial mausoleum.

“When the imperial mausoleum was built back then, there must have been another way out!” Zi Zheng thought of something and said, “We found food, water, and firewood here, so it seems that these things have been prepared for many years. In that case, perhaps there’s a way out nearby?!”

Zi Zheng’s words reminded Luo Cheng, so he quickly got up and looked around the secret room where food was stored.

Just as Luo Cheng leaned against a wall, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After he quickly took out his sword and knocked hard, he immediately identified some problems from the knocking.

“The back is empty! Quick, come over and tear open these places!”

Luo Cheng’s words immediately gave everyone hope and they walked towards him.

Soon, a pa.s.sage appeared in front of Luo Cheng and the others.

“Hahahaha, as expected, it’s in the southwest!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Soon, the group walked in along the pa.s.sage.

There was air coming in through the pa.s.sage, so there had to be a way out.

The group walked forward with hope. After an unknown period of time, they were stunned.

Because they realized that the exit in front was actually blocked and it was obvious that someone had blown up the exit!

“How did this happen?!” Zi Zheng became anxious!

When Luo Cheng saw this, his gaze darkened.

At this moment, Luo Cheng thought of something and took out the last brocade bag.

However, this time, the brocade bag actually had the message: wait quietly!

Although he didn’t understand, Luo Cheng still asked everyone to stop and rest.

After an unknown period of time, Luo Cheng’s eyes opened.

After sitting up straight, Luo Cheng listened attentively.

“Did you guys hear that? I think there’s movement! It seems to be coming from the blockade over there!”

When the others heard Luo Cheng’s words, they immediately held their breaths and focused on paying attention to the sound of the movements.

Sure enough, there was another sound.

Everyone perked up when they heard that. Then, hope rose in everyone’s hearts.

As time pa.s.sed, the sounds got closer and louder.

Luo Cheng thought of something and quickly let everyone retreat. Then, he waited patiently.

After an unknown period of time, the blockade outside was suddenly pushed open. A gust of air blew in, and cheers erupted. “We’re done. We’re finally done digging!”

Soon, someone walked over.

Luo Cheng and the others became vigilant and held their swords tightly.

After the first person walked out and looked around with a torch, he saw Luo Cheng’s face.

“Brother Luo Cheng, I finally found you!”

It turned out that the first person to run in was none other than Wu Qinghe, who had brought the Shu family to save Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng was overjoyed to see that it was Wu Qinghe.

“What are you doing here?”

Wu Qinghe said happily, “If I hadn’t come, how would you be able to come out?! I divined that you would turn misfortune into blessings, but there were obstacles on the way, so I quickly brought people over to take a look! As expected, when I found a way out, I realized that this place had been blown up, so I dug for two days and two nights before the blockade was cleared!”

Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “Alright, since we’ve dug a way out, let’s leave this place first! We can’t stay for any longer!” Wu Qinghe thought of something and nodded.

“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go out quickly! Madam must be worried outside!” As they spoke, the group walked out.

After walking for another two hours, the group finally saw the light of day again.

Upon smelling the fresh air outside again, Luo Cheng and the others felt as if a lifetime had pa.s.sed.

They had only been trapped in the imperial mausoleum for a while, but it felt like a long time.

“Brother Luo Cheng, what should we do now? Are we going to deal with the people in front of the imperial mausoleum?” Wu Qinghe thought of something and asked.

“Let’s leave this place first. Tell me about the situation outside on the way!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Don’t worry about the people guarding the imperial mausoleum. Let them think that I’m still trapped!”

Wu Qinghe nodded and left with Luo Cheng.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran and the others had also received a letter from General Guo. As long as Mr. Luo was still around, they were willing to submit to him and pull King Fu down from the throne..
