The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 98 The Secret of the Dugu Family

It has been three days, and there is still no sign of Dugu Feng and his group. They did not stay at the post station. Could it be that they did not return to the Xiongnu?

Mu Yunxiao looked at the small border town, Liangcheng, that appeared in front of him, and felt a little panicked.

This was the only way out of Zhao State to reach the Xiongnu. If Dugu Feng wanted to go back to the Xiongnu, he had to take this road. He slept in the open air and chased all night, but he failed to catch up.

Could they have surpassed them? Impossible, the Huns had hundreds of men and horses, so it was impossible that there would be no trace along the way.

There are two possible scenarios for this speculation: one is that Dugu Feng did not return to the Huns at all; the other is that they ran faster than Mu Yunxiao.

The person who ordered a search for the Huns team had not yet responded, so Mu Yunxiao ordered them to go to Liangcheng to rest first.

Dusk enveloped Liangcheng, and the surroundings looked mysterious and desolate.

In an ancient tomb in Liangcheng, Bai Xinyin woke up slowly, her head was dizzy. She remembered that she seemed to be dizzy by a gust of fragrant wind, yes, she was dizzy by the intoxication. The fragrance was weird, and she was a little tired at the time, so she was bewitched.

She touched her cloth bag. Fortunately, all her personal belongings were there. But who changed her clothes? She was not wearing this dress when she came here. This one was made of the best material and was obviously not ordinary.

Where is this? She looked around and found that this was a tomb that looked quite old. She tried to recall what happened before, but found that her memory became blurred. Bai Xinyin felt an inexplicable fear in her heart, and she decided to leave here as soon as possible. She groped for an exit and finally found a secret door on a wall. Pushing the door open, there was a dark passage outside. Bai Xinyin walked carefully along the passage, hoping to find a way out.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps and was startled. She quickly hid in a nearby tomb. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Bai Xinyin's heartbeat accelerated with nervousness. She quietly looked out and saw a figure walking towards her.

It's Dugu Feng! How could he be here? Bai Xinyin's eyes widened, her heart full of doubts. Dugu Feng held a torch, lighting up the entire tomb. His eyes were cold and firm, as if he was looking for something.

Bai Xinyin held her breath, fearing that she would be discovered by Dugu Feng. She secretly prayed that Dugu Feng would not enter the tomb.

However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. Dugu Feng stopped at the door of the tomb where Bai Xinyin was hiding. He slowly opened the door and stepped into the house.

Bai Xinyin's heartbeat almost stopped. She had no way to escape, so she just showed up. Dugu Feng saw her and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Are you awake?" Dugu Feng's voice was gentle and considerate.

Bai Xiyin stared and asked, "Did you order someone to knock me out and bring me here? Who did you collude with? The queen? And why did you bring me here?"

Dugu Feng did not answer her question, but said to himself: "There is a huge secret hidden here, and only you can solve it."

"Oh? I can solve it? How do you know I can solve it? Besides, even if I can solve it, you can just tell me and solve it. Why did you go to so much trouble to kidnap me? Are you sure this is not some conspiracy?"

Dugu Feng smiled bitterly: "If I invite you directly, not to mention whether you are willing or not, even Mu Yunxiao might not be willing. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

"You know this is a bad idea, right? If you knew it was a bad idea, just let me go. By the way, who changed my clothes?"

"It's not that we can't let Ayin go back. You are a doctor and you must have a talent for medicine. Please help me look at this book. As long as you can decipher it, Ayin can leave on her own after you decipher it. Oh, the little maid helped change Ayin's clothes, so you can rest assured."

Bai Xinyin glanced at Dugu Feng half-doubtingly. He seemed to be sincere, so maybe he really wanted to ask for something. However, she knew that he was a cunning man, so it was better to be careful.

"Are you so kind? You won't lie to me about anything, right?" Bai Xinyin asked half tentatively and half affirmatively.

"I will never lie to anyone in my life, but I will never lie to you, Ayin, you know I like you..."

"Shut up!" Bai Xinyin said, "We can be brothers and discuss medical skills, but we can forget about love. There's no chance of love between us. Don't add to my psychological burden!"

Bai Xinyin thought to herself, I am sealed, I am indifferent to the seven emotions and six desires, it doesn't matter if I have them or not. Besides, I like Mu Yunxiao more than you, I want to find someone I like to sleep with. There should be a first come first served rule when queuing to buy things, right?

Dugu Feng was not annoyed, and smiled calmly: "It's just my wishful thinking, is that ok? It has nothing to do with you, but you can't put pressure on A Yin."

"That's right. You like yours, and I don't like mine. The boundary between Chu and Han is clear. I always stand firm. Well water should not touch the sea water. If well water touches the sea water, it will become salty. You must remember this clearly!"

Dugu Feng smiled cheerfully: "Okay, okay, I will keep A Yin's teaching in mind."

Bai Xinyin felt so uncomfortable listening to these words.

As he spoke, Dugu Feng handed Bai Xinyin an ancient book, which was covered with traces of time.

Bai Xinyin took the book and opened it. There were some strange pictures and words recorded inside. She looked at Dugu Feng in confusion, not understanding what the book meant.

Dugu Feng pointed to a pattern in the book and said, "The people of my Dugu clan are born smart and excel in everything they do. But I don't know why? For the past five hundred years, all the men of the Dugu clan have not lived past the age of thirty-six, as if they were cursed. Before he died, my father told me that the secret to cracking the code is recorded in this book, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one has been able to crack it. I hope you can help me crack it and save the lives of countless people in my Dugu clan."

"Isn't it good to die early and be reborn early? Besides, it's the lives of your people, it has nothing to do with me." Bai Xinyin grabbed a strand of hair at the back of her head and twisted it around her index finger, with a casual look on her face. What she meant was, if I help you untie it, what's the benefit?

Dugu Feng was so smart. He didn't get angry when this little fox was trying to negotiate with him. He smiled and said, "Whether you can solve it or not, I will reward you handsomely. If you can't solve it, I will give you ten thousand taels of gold. If you can solve it, I will give you one hundred thousand taels of gold."

"Is there such a good thing? I feel more and more that this is a trap. But the life of the Hun king is worth more than 100,000 taels of gold."

"If you want to untie it, Ayin, just ask. As long as I can give it to you."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, Ayin. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have to wait until now. I would have just done it the moment you fainted." Dugu Feng walked over and was very close to Bai Xinyin.

"Yeah, that seems to make sense." Bai Xinyin pretended to be stupid on purpose, thinking that only by pretending to be stupid could the other party let down his guard.

"Tell me, can I get out of here by myself?" Seeing Dugu Feng approaching, Bai Xinyin took two steps back and asked deliberately.

"Ayin, don't worry. There are so many traps here. With Ayin's knowledge of traps, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out."

"Are you threatening me?" Bai Xinyin almost jumped up and almost wanted to show off her national quintessence.

"No, Ayin, I just want you to study hard. If you go out, it will be difficult for you to concentrate on your studies. Please forgive me for being selfish." Dugu Feng said with a false salute.

Bai Xinyin was filled with curiosity and she decided to put aside her prejudice against Dugu Feng and see if she could solve the mystery.

But how do I inform people outside that I am here?
