  Ning Shu lifted the sack and placed it on her shoulder. After grabbing an oil lamp, she bent over and started walking through the tunnel.

  It was impossible to stand straight in the tunnel. Ning Shu felt that her little waist was about to snap.

  When she became too tired to carry the sack, she just dragged it on the ground. However, she eventually did get to the place.

  Above her were limestone slabs. Ning Shu pushed the slab up hard, but as soon as she managed to lift it, someone stomped down.

  Ning Shu was startled. Had someone discovered her?

  After a good while, Ning Shu pushed it a little again to make a slight gap. Through the gap she saw a pair of shoes that were embroidered with fortuitous clouds.

  “Where did this huge rat come from?” Xuan Hongyu stomped the limestone slab back down.

  Ning Shu: ……

  “Master, it’s this subordinate. Please stop stomping.” Ning Shu pushed hard to move the slab aside, then heaved the sack up first before climbing out from the tunnel.

  When Xuan Hongyu saw Ning Shu, he lifted his brows in surprise. “You’re not dead yet?”


  Ning Shu: ……

  She didn’t know why, but she really wanted to beat him up. He looked like he needed to be beat up. As expected, he knew about the fact that his death soldiers’ corpses were being hung up at the city gates.

  Ning Shu took in Xuan Hongyu’s appearance. He didn’t seem like he was a prisoner at all.

  “Master, this subordinate’s here to rescue you. Let’s go,” said Ning Shu.

  Xuan Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said uncaringly, “Leave this place to go where?”


  “Anywhere in the grand wide world.” As Ning Shu spoke, she opened the sack. Inside was a man’s corpse.

  Xuan Hongyu glanced at the corpse, then lifted his eyebrows to look towards Ning Shu.

  “Master, please come with this subordinate,” said Ning Shu. She was clearly here to rescue him, but why did things seem so troublesome?

  Xuan Hongyu looked at Ning Shu. “Then where are we going?”


  “Let’s talk about it after we get out first.” Could we get out of here first before worrying about where we’re going?

  “You carried a corpse here to use it as a replacement for this prince?” A cold smile appeared on Xuan Hongyu’s face. “Something this lowly will be able to be buried with the honor of the resolved prince and enjoy the worship of the imperial clan?”


  Ning Shu: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻


  My fricking god! He was so hard to please!
