After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 303: Saving One More Person

Nanling

In the same dark night, a group of people walked silently in the mountains and forests.

The group walked into a cave.

They didn't light the candles until they entered the cave.

In the light of the candles, Ye Wuwei, Yao Guangzhi, Lei Dahong and others appeared.

This is also a tall cave with several branches leading into it, and it is unknown where they lead to.

But the cave they entered this time was not the cave where Shui Changqing and Mu Yili met before.

Just as the candles were lit, two people appeared from the fork in the cave: Mu Yili and her uncle.

"Commander Ye."

"Miss Muyi, Chief Shi."

Ye Wuwei's expression was somewhat solemn:

"I'll spare you the pleasantries. I suspect there was a traitor among the people you met with Master last time."

This was the answer Ye Wuwei got after thinking about it.

Mu Yili and her uncle exchanged a glance:

“We’ve thought about that possibility.

But if that were the case, the news of my arrival in Nanling would certainly not be hidden from Mu Yiyang, but the fact is that I have been safe the entire time."

"The person who kidnapped Master is not necessarily Mu Yiyang's man."

"Do you have any suspects?"

"No.

Did the family that came with you last time have any secret rooms or forbidden areas?"

Ye Wuwei still hadn't figured out what force had kidnapped Shui Changqing, and what their purpose was. But his intuition and reason told him that it must have been the work of the person he had met last time.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to know Shui Changqing's location so accurately.

Ye Wuwei wanted to search every house.

"Do you think the Shui family master is imprisoned in a secret room or forbidden area?"

"Ah."

Mu Yili's uncle thought for a moment:

“Nanling has many mountains and caves, and every big family has its own secret place. I don’t know them all.

I will now take you to what I know.”

"Thank you, Chief Shi."

Mu Yili's uncle felt a little ashamed: "I hope you don't blame us."

Hearing that Ye Wuwei was a close minister of the emperor, he was worried that Ye Wuwei would vent his anger on them, but after meeting him, Ye Wuwei only discussed the matter at hand, which made him feel guilty.

He couldn't help but sigh:

As a close minister of the emperor, Ye Wuwei is so upright, it seems that the emperor is not much worse.

In this way, they don't have to worry about the emperor changing his mind after the matter is accomplished.

……

They took advantage of the night to investigate the two secret places, but did not detect any trace of Shui Changqing.

It was already the Yin hour.

"Commander Ye, the Luo family's forbidden area is not far away.

The Luo family is also a big family in Nanling, and their influence is similar to that of our Shi family.

The Luo family's forbidden area has a long history and has never allowed outsiders to enter. Not even the Muyi clan has ever entered."

Ye Wuwei understood what Mu Yili's uncle meant:

You must not be discovered when entering the Luo family's forbidden area, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Got it. You guys wait outside and I'll go in and investigate alone."

"The Luo family's forbidden area is different from the two places we just explored. I wonder if there are any traps inside?"

"I'll be careful."

Ye Wuwei still hasn't found Shui Changqing's mark, and he feels very heavy.

When they reached the Luo family's forbidden area, Ye Wuwei instructed Yao Guangzhi and the others:

"You guys hide outside. I'll send out a signal flare if anything happens."

Yao Guangzhi really wanted to enter the forbidden area to investigate on behalf of Ye Wuwei, but he didn't have the ability to remain unnoticed, so he had to obey orders.

After practicing internal skills with Qi Wushuang for more than a year, Ye Wuwei's night vision ability has improved a lot.

Even without lighting a lamp, Ye Wuwei could see the road clearly and avoid being tripped.

The road leading into the Luo family's forbidden area is very complicated, like a small maze.

There are mechanisms in the maze that will sound an alarm once touched.

Ye Wuwei was somewhat glad that he was the only one who came in. If it were someone else, they would definitely have triggered the trap.

Ye Wuwei carefully avoided the trap and chose the exit based on his feeling.

There were several times when Ye Wuwei took the wrong path and ended up in a dead end.

Fortunately, Ye Wuwei had received professional training and had a strong sense of direction. Even if he reached a dead end, he could quickly turn back and choose another way.

It took Ye Wuwei nearly an incense stick of time to walk out of the maze and reach the Luo family's forbidden area.

As soon as he entered the Luo family's forbidden area, Ye Wuwei saw the red "SOS".

I don’t know if it was drawn with blood?

"SOS" is the international Morse code distress signal. It is not the unique communication symbol between Ye Wuwei and Shui Changqing, but "SOS" should also be unique in Qi Dynasty.

Could it really be left by the master?

If it was the master, why didn't he use the secret code that only he and he knew?

Without having time to think about it, Ye Wuwei started to investigate.

Perhaps because it was night, the guards in the forbidden area were all asleep and no one noticed Ye Wuwei's arrival.

It is also possible that the road to the forbidden area is too complicated and the guards did not expect that a stranger could break in.

Ye Wuwei found the basement.

The basement is a series of closed rooms, and the people inside cannot be seen from the outside.

After entering the basement, Ye Wuwei sensed a human presence. He rushed to a room and whispered, "Master?"

"who are you?"

It was a woman's voice.

Not Master!

Ye Wuwei was about to leave when Shui Changqing's voice came from another room: "Wuwei?"

Ye Wuwei was overjoyed and rushed to Shui Changqing's room. "It's me, Master. Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Ye Wuwei took out the "master key" he had prepared long ago and unlocked the door.

After the door was unlocked, Ye Wuyi saw Shui Changqing at first sight.

After confirming that Shui Changqing was not injured, Ye Wuwei said, "Let's go out."

At this moment, the voice of the woman from before rang out: "Take me away, don't call anyone."

Ye Wuwei looked at Shui Changqing, and Shui Changqing nodded.

Ye Wuwei used the "master key" to unlock the room where the woman was.

After opening the door, a strong stench mixed with various smells almost made Ye Wuwei faint.

Ye Wuwei didn't even see the person inside and dodged to the side: "Follow me."

The woman didn't say much and followed Ye Wuwei and Shui Changqing briskly.

Although he didn't look back, Ye Wuwei knew from the smell that this woman was following them steadily.

Very rhythmic.

Arriving in front of the "maze", Ye Wuwei whispered again: "There are traps in here, follow me closely."

Ye Wuwei was not worried about Shui Changqing, but he was worried that the woman would touch the mechanism.

But even after leaving the "maze", the mechanism was not opened.

A thought flashed through Ye Wuwei's mind: Who is this woman?

After the three of them left the Luo family's forbidden area, Yao Guangzhi and others came to meet them.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"It's okay, leave first."

Yao Guangzhi and the others saw that there was one more person, so they left quickly without asking any questions.

Mu Yili's uncle led everyone to a dark place:

“This is the Shi family’s territory, it’s very safe.

It's not advisable to move during the day, so you stay here for now and I'll send you off tonight."

"Chief Shi, are you sure that Robi doesn't know about the existence of this place?"

"This was originally a refuge prepared for the Shi clan members in the event of a catastrophe. Only the Shi clan leader knows about it."

If it weren't for ensuring the safety of Ye Wuwei and the others, Uncle Mu Yili wouldn't have brought everyone here.
