Eight hundred and seventieth chapters under the lake
Jin Xiangyu burst into tears as she spoke, with a smile on her face, but her heart was extremely painful. Bai Ling listened with mixed emotions. According to Jin Xiangyu, it was precisely because she secretly hid the vampire ginseng that she was
The Jin family found out that questioning her to no avail, so they kicked her out.
However, now that the Jin family suddenly came back, did they find something? The two vampire ginseng must have been enjoyed by the royal family. When Bai Ling entered the palace to recuperate the body of the late emperor, he had never heard of it, but
The late emperor's body was so weak that he did not use the vampire ginseng, which meant that the Jin family no longer had the vampire ginseng.
Unable to recreate the blood ghost ginseng, the Jin family gradually lost their support and status.
Based on this calculation, the Jin family, which was at its peak, suddenly moved back to Zhao'an Town, and the purpose may not be simple.
"Sister Jin, Mr. Song's health cannot be delayed. Why don't we set off to get the vampire ginseng as soon as we are ready? What do you think?" After hearing Jin Xiangyu's story, Bai Ling felt a little worried about the Jin family's conspiracy.
Bai Ling felt uneasy about Jin Lanyu's sudden visit before. Although he felt it was inappropriate, he still took the initiative to suggest it.
"Okay, I'll let someone get ready and we'll set off immediately." Jin Xiangyu had calmed down at this moment, and without even using a handkerchief, she picked up her sleeves and wiped her tears.
Bai Ling and Jin Xiangyu soldiers separated into two groups. Bai Ling set off to find Shangguan Yu, while Jin Xiangyu called the guards and servants of Zuiyan Tower to prepare the soldiers.
Bai Ling considered that the vampire ginseng had been buried in the ground all year round and didn't know what it was like now, so he asked Jin Xiangyu to bring Song Yi with him.
By the way, I also brought some pots and firewood that are convenient for decoction.
The two made an appointment to meet under the big locust tree on the outskirts of the city, and then headed there together.
After Bai Ling left Zuiyan Building, he took a carriage as quickly as possible to the recruitment office. He briefly told Guan Yu about Jin Xiangyu.
Shangguan Yu always supported Bai Ling's decision, so without saying anything, he asked Wu Yue to prepare men and carriages.
It took less than a cup of tea to get everything ready, and they were ready to set off.
"Miss Bai, let me go with you. I'm familiar with the area around this town, and I can also show you the way."
"Okay, then it's all down to Brother Wu!" She and Shangguan were indeed not very familiar with each other in the outskirts of the city, so it would be best to have someone who was familiar with the terrain to lead the way.
"Don't be polite to me, it's my honor to be able to help the girl." Wu Yue, a thick man, scratched his head and blushed in embarrassment.
On the carriage, Bai Ling leaned against Shangguan Yu, counting the medicinal materials he had brought with him, but he still felt uneasy.
"Shangguan, what would happen if the Jin family knew that there was another vampire ginseng?"
"Presumably, they already know about it and are just waiting for the opportunity."
"What?" When Bai Ling heard what Shangguan Yu said, he was so shocked that he immediately sat up.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let them succeed." Shangguan Yu reached out his hand, gently touched Bai Ling's head, and pulled her back into his arms.
Although Bai Ling had doubts, she always felt more at ease with Shangguan around, so she simply continued to lean on him and continue counting the medicinal materials.
Shangguan Yu watched Bai Ling calm down again, stretched out his hand and gently opened the curtain beside him, and there was a bit of firelight in the dark place.
We are about to reach the big locust tree, and I'm afraid it won't be peaceful along the way.
"Miss Bai, Master of Shangguan Village, we are here. There is no one here. Do you want to come down and rest first?" Wu Yue stopped, approached the carriage, and asked in a low voice.
"Well, find a clean place and let everyone drink some water and rest for a while." Shangguan Yu got off the carriage first and ordered.
Bai Ling was not in a hurry to get off the carriage, but wrapped up all the medicinal materials that he had ordered before, and also took out the medicinal powder and sachet that he had just taken out from the space.
I hope I don’t need it...
Bai Ling thought to himself and got off the carriage.
"Brother Wu, take this and distribute it to all the brothers. Everyone should be careful at critical times, and also wear these anti-mosquito sachets. The place you are going to is dark and humid, and there are inevitably some small bugs.
.”
"Okay! Thank you Miss Bai." Wu Yue accepted Bai Ling's medicine bag, thanked him seriously, and then began to distribute it to the people accompanying him.
Shangguan Yu took a few steps up to the locust tree that looked to have been growing for at least a hundred years, looked into the distance, then turned over and jumped down.
When Bai Ling saw him landing, he quickly took a few steps to get close to him.
"Shangguan, is there anything unusual?"
"It hasn't been discovered yet, but a carriage came with a few guards not far away. I think Miss Jin and Mr. Song should have arrived."
"Then let's get everyone packed up and ready to go. Shangguan, I always feel uneasy during this trip, so be careful with everything."
"Okay, Ling'er, don't leave my sight."
"Yeah, I know!"
While Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu were talking, Jin Xiangyu's carriage arrived.
Song Yi fell asleep in the carriage and did not wake up when the carriage stopped, so Jin Xiangyu directly brought the bedding and let him lie comfortably in the carriage, and then got out of the carriage.
"Sister Bai Ling, brother Shangguan, I'm ready. My carriage is in front, and you can follow behind. Thank you for your hard work on this trip!" Jin Xiangyu came up to Bai Ling and grabbed her hand, grateful.
said.
Shangguan Yu didn't answer, just nodded, and then took Bai Ling into the carriage. The group walked through the grove behind the big locust tree in the night, and arrived at a quiet small lake.
Bai Ling got out of the car and looked around. There didn't seem to be any tombs here. He couldn't help but wonder: "Miss Jin, are you sure you are here?"
"This is right here. I personally led people to bury my mother back then. I won't remember it wrong. Come with me." Jin Xiangyu waved her hand towards Hou Miaoyuan, then stepped forward to lead the way.
Jin Xiangyu walked around the small lake, then stopped on the west side of the lake, turned around and jumped in directly.
"Sister Jin!"
The lake surface rippled with water, and Bai Ling was startled by her sudden action.
She went to the lake and shouted a few times. There was movement in the lake, and soon a path branched off from where Jin Xiangyu had jumped.
The path made of stones winds all the way down. It seems that Jin Xiangyu secretly built an underground palace for her mother under the lake. No wonder no one can find it except her.
"Sister Bai Ling, you can come down now!"
Hearing Jin Xiangyu's voice below, Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu led their entourage down the gravel road. Yan Qi, the nurse of Zuiyan Tower, followed behind the team, carrying Song Yi with a cloak on his back.
The moist breath hit his face. Bai Ling held his breath and walked forward seriously. Not far ahead, Jin Xiangyu had already pulled the switch on the wall and opened the stone door.
