This stone door is carved with exquisite patterns, but there are no stone carvings in the shape of strange animals on both sides.
Xiao Chengyi looked at the stone door, and finally his eyes fell on the candlestick next to his left hand. He turned the candlestick slightly, and saw the stone door slowly opening, and the dazzling sunlight shone in from the outside.
Mu Yun'an stretched out her hand to block it. After getting used to the sunshine, she turned back to look at Xiao Chengyi, her eyes full of admiration: "Brother Yi, you are so amazing."
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly, feeling a little happy after being praised by her. The two of them walked out of the tomb side by side. Unexpectedly, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of them, and then two swords were pressed against their necks: "Who are you?"
Mu Yun'an was startled. She stiffened her neck and did not dare to move. She secretly looked at Xiao Chengyi and saw a man standing next to him. The long sword in his hand was pressed against Xiao Chengyi's neck.
But looking at the man's dress, he didn't look like the assassin who assassinated them, because they were wearing regular clothes and didn't have their faces covered. I thought that these two people should be the guards guarding the tomb gate.
Have they mistakenly entered the tomb owner's territory?
Xiao Chengyi, who Mu Yun'an could guess, naturally guessed it too. He reported his name without fear in the face of danger: "My eldest son, Yongning Marquis, Yan Jingxuan, accidentally entered this place because he was being chased. Please forgive me for any offense."
When Mu Yun'an heard that Xiao Chengyi reported Yan Jingxuan's name, he knew what he meant. After all, he was in Yan Jingxuan's face now and could only borrow his identity temporarily.
Maybe this identity can also intimidate the other party.
Sure enough, when the other party heard that it was the Crown Prince of Yongning Houfu, they looked surprised and suspicious. One of them asked again: "I wonder who this girl is?"
Mu Yun'an hurriedly introduced himself: "I am the daughter of Zhennan's mighty general Mu Rufeng, and the lord of Huihe County, Mu Yun'an."
After hearing that these two people had good status, they did not dare to deal with them rashly, so they tied them up and took them away.
Only then did Mu Yun'an clearly see the terrain they were in. They were actually in a valley, surrounded by mountains and very secluded. There were several bamboo houses in the valley, and there were patrolling guards, all in order.
When they saw strangers coming into the valley, they all looked at them carefully, which showed that they were well-trained.
Mu Yunan and Xiao Chengyi were escorted outside one of the bamboo huts. Someone went in to report. Not long after, someone hurried out. It was a middle-aged man in his forties.
The man was shocked at first when he saw Xiao Chengyi's appearance, and then walked over excitedly: "Are you Yan Jingxuan, the eldest son of Yongning Houfu?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "Yes."
The man saw that his robe was stained with blood and asked quickly: "How did you do this?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Today, the county leader and I went out to the city to race horses, but we were ambushed. I was injured a little. When we were escaping, we fell into a hole, and then we came here."
As he spoke, he looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
The man seemed a little surprised: "How did you know?"
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved and he said in a faint voice: "You have a very strong herbal fragrance. If you are not a doctor, you are someone who has been sick for a long time. But I see that your complexion is very good and does not look like someone who has been sick for a long time, so you should be a doctor."
The man was stunned for a moment, and said with some relief: "It's good to be observant." After saying that, he let them loose their bonds and said: "Come in, I will heal your injuries first."
Xiao Chengyi thanked him, and then entered the bamboo house with Mu Yun'an. He saw that it was a medicine hall, with many medicinal materials displayed in a dazzling array.
Mu Yun'an's anxious heart finally returned to her stomach. She sat down on the bamboo chair with Xiao Chengyi, and heard Xiao Chengyi ask: "I wonder what you call me, senior?"
