After breakfast, we followed Lin Nan's suggestion and hurried on our way to Yongping early so that we could find the doctor early.

After getting on the carriage, Huo Changhe said: "Lin Nan, you should take a rest first, it will take another day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm not tired."

Strangely enough, it was early in the morning and I wasn't sleepy at first, but at some point I felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and I slowly fell asleep.

Yan Ruyu glanced at him and took out the map. Huo Changhe pushed the black gauze up.

"Yongping, Yongchang," Huo Changhe pointed, "these two places are less than five miles apart."

Yongchang is the fiefdom of the lord of Yongchang County.

"If you say that this matter has nothing to do with that woman, I don't believe it at all," Huo Changhe's eyes were cold and stern, "She really tried her best for my mother and me."

Yan Ruyu thought: "Why did she lead us to Yongping instead of Yongchang?"

Huo Changhe smiled with sarcasm: "Of course you have to take your reputation into consideration. Yongping is just a village, but Yongchang is the county seat and her fiefdom. Although she is not here, it is always related to her. If something happens in her fiefdom, then she They will also be affected.”

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's right."

She tapped her fingers on the edge of the table, frowning slightly, thinking quietly.

At this moment, a secret guard blew a signal outside.

Huo Changhe got off the carriage and went to see the secret guard.

Yan Ruyu was not affected and quickly made plans in her mind.

Leaning slightly, Huo Changhe tapped on the car wall outside: "Yu'er."

Yan Ruyu raised the curtain: "What's wrong?"

Huo Changhe's face was solemn, and the sound he made from his teeth was full of blood.

"I have to go to Yongping Village."

"What happened?" Yan Ruyu got out of the car and had a bad feeling.

"Someone has set up a trap outside Yongping Village to create a massive earthquake. Once this happens, the people of Yongping Village will..."

Heavy casualties.

Yan Ruyu's face became solemn: "I'll go with you."

"Don't worry about me, I'll work hard and I should be back before dark," Huo Changhe didn't want Yan Ruyu to run around with him.

"Let's go together. Maybe I can still help you. I have a plan. I'll see Yongping's situation first before I talk about it." Yan Ruyu was determined.

"Ok."

Asking the driver to drive away slowly, looking at the sleeping Lin Nan, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe followed the secret guards and hurried to Yongping.

Yongping Village is not too close, but the road is flat, so everything goes smoothly.

Before noon, they arrived at Yongping Village.

This village is indeed not big, with only about a hundred households. It is noon, and there is smoke floating in the village. It is quiet and beautiful.

Yan Ruyu reined in her horse, not wanting to imagine this beautiful scene turning into a hell on earth.

The secret guard whispered: "Your Majesty, Princess, there is a secret passage over there, which has been dug out."

"Go and see."

The secret passage was not very wide, so two people could not walk side by side, so only one person could pass through. The secret guard led the way, and it was pitch dark inside. The secret guard was about to make a fire break when Yan Ruyu stopped him.

"slow!"

Huo Changhe asked: "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu sniffed: "It smells wrong. Do you have the night light I gave you? Turn it on."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Take it with you."

He took out the headlamp given to him by Yan Ruyu, put it on, and turned it on. The secret guard praised, "This is much brighter than Huozhezi!"

"Of course," Huo Changhe said proudly, "This is the light of the sun."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Huo Changhe is in front, Yan Ruyu is in the middle, and the secret guard is in the back.

"My subordinate walked a few dozen meters forward before reaching the end, so he hurriedly reported it," the secret guard said.

After turning a small corner, the secret guard said again: "This is it. When my subordinates got here, they didn't go any further."

Yan Ruyu nodded and said to Huo Changhe: "Your Majesty, slow down."

After taking a few steps forward, Yan Ruyu grabbed him.

In the light, there was a layer of black powder on the ground.

Yan Ruyu's expression changed instantly.

The secret guard asked in surprise: "Why are there suddenly these things here? What are they?"

He stretched out his hand to touch it, but Yan Ruyu stopped him: "Don't move!"

Cold sweat broke out on Yan Ruyu's forehead: "This is gunpowder."

"What is gunpowder?" Huo Changhe asked.

In this era, cold weapons were still used, and fighting relied on swords. Naturally, Huo Changhe didn't recognize them.

Yan Ruyu whispered: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the gun I gave you?"

"Of course I remember, I haven't used it yet. You said that that kind of thing is very powerful, so you should wait until the critical moment to use it."

"That's right, the small black marbles used in the gun are far less powerful than these things. I used a small amount of gunpowder to explode several places in the Governor's Mansion in Sucheng."

Huo Changhe was frightened, and the secret guard also turned pale.

"Let's go out and talk," Yan Ruyu leaned over and picked up a little gunpowder and put it into the space.

Once out of the secret passage, the secret guard knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Princess! It was my fault that my subordinates made mistakes and put the Prince and Princess in danger just now!"

"Get up, I don't blame you if you don't recognize this thing."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

The secret guard was very frightened: "The princess just said that a little use is enough to cause such a big disturbance in the Governor's Mansion, so these..."

"These, if ignited, are enough to cause the so-called earthquake," Yan Ruyu said with a serious look, "I don't know how many there are in here, and where the secret passages lead to."

She gently touched the hidden weapon bracelet on her hand: "We have to think of a way to get the people out of here."

First, it is convenient for her to clean these quickly, and second, it is just in case of accidental injury if the cleaning is not completed.

The secret guard pursed his lips: "If you tell me directly, they won't believe it, and the news may leak. It's better to think of other ways."

"I'm going to contact the other brothers and let's work together to find a solution."

Yan Ruyu quite admired his response: "That's right. It's true that we can't tell the people directly."

He smiled slightly and asked Huo Changhe: "Do you still remember the golden-armored Martial God and the Martial God's envoy?"

Huo Changhe's eyes brightened: "What do you mean..."

Yan Ruyu snapped her fingers, and the myna flapped its wings and flew down from the branch.

After feeding it a few grains of millet, Yan Ruyu said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll keep following you secretly."

When they came out, Yin Ding repeatedly asked them to bring Bago with them, which would come in handy if they needed to send a message.

Didn't expect it to be used so quickly.

Yan Ruyu said to the secret guard: "There is no need to contact other secret guards. It is not yet time to be exposed. The later you show up, the safer it will be. Although the matter at hand is urgent, it is not too big and it will not be a big deal."

Yan Ruyu took out some colorful feathers, which she got from King Yi's parrot.

Dress up the mynah and look full of momentum.

The secret guard took over Bage and said happily: "What should I do?"

It's a pity that Beibei is not here. Yan Ruyu secretly sighed, if Beibei was here, it would be something that could be easily accomplished.

After turning around in the space, Yan Ruyu said: "Yes."
