Tan Er asked in surprise: "Where did he die?"

Meng Qianqian patted the coffin gently and said, "It's empty. Some people will take care of their funeral affairs before they die. This kind of coffin made of golden nanmu is rare. It should be prepared by the prime minister for himself after a hundred years."

Tan Er folded her arms: "A hundred years? He can forget about it!"

Meng Qianqian pushed open the coffin lid.

The little wolf cub immediately tried to crawl in.

Meng Qianqian lay in the coffin.

Bai Yuwei's face changed: "Hey - why put a living person in a coffin? Aren't you afraid of bad luck -"

"I want that too!"

Tan'er giggled, climbed into the coffin and lay next to Meng Qianqian.

The little wolf was digging the coffin frantically.

"I know, I know." Bai Yuwei picked up the little guy and put him in.

Tan'er hugged the little guy.

Meng Qianqian said to Bai Yuwei: "Little sister, Tan'er and I will go down first. You can come down when there is no danger."

"No! We have to go together!"

Bai Yuwei decisively joined them.

Tan Er was squeezed so hard that she stuck out her tongue: "It's so crowded!"

Meng Qianqian supported the coffin lid with both hands.

The moment it closed, the bottom of the coffin suddenly opened, and the three men and the wolf fell down.

"catch me!"

Bai Yuwei swung out a whip suddenly, wrapping around the lamp stand on the wall.

However, no one reached out.

Bai Yuwei was anxious: "You two, catch me!"

Tan'er looked up, touched the little wolf cub in her arms and said, "Come down."

Bai Yuwei looked down and saw that she was less than a foot away from the ground.

She cleared her throat, put away the whip and jumped to the ground.

Meng Qianqian smiled.

Bai Yuwei frowned: "Don't laugh at me!"

Tan Er stuck out her tongue: "I'm just laughing at you, Lue!"

The little wolf cub couldn't wait any longer, so he jumped out of Tan'er's arms and looked forward panting.

Meng Qianqian took out a fire starter and blew it to illuminate a long secret passage.

Bai Yuwei was shocked: "Such a long secret passage, how big a secret room must have been dug in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Meng Qianqian held up the fire stick and said, "Maybe there is more than one secret room."

The bigger the secret room, the more they will gain from this trip.

Bai Yuwei suddenly sighed: "Your Central Plains court is so complicated. We in Miaojiang don't have so many problems."

Tan Er asked curiously, "What does Miaojiang look like?"

Bai Yuwei followed and answered proudly, "We in Miaojiang don't have a prime minister or a minister. We only have elders from each tribe. The people of Miaojiang respect the Miao King and will never allow anyone to be more powerful than him. My grandfather is a man of many people in Miaojiang. If someone dares to plot against him, my grandfather doesn't need to do it himself. The elders of the eight tribes will tear that person to pieces! Miaojiang is united, and that's not for nothing!"

Tan Er spread her hands: "Even if there is, you don't know it!"

Bai Yuwei argued: "There will be no traitors in our Miao area! Unlike you in the Central Plains, you say the country belongs to the emperor, but the court is about to become the world of the prime minister."

Tan Er said: "So we have to get rid of him!"

Bai Yuwei asked the question that had been hidden for a long time: "Can't we just issue an imperial decree to execute him? Don't you have a saying in the Central Plains that if the ruler wants his subjects to die, the subjects must die?"

Tan Er looked at Meng Qianqian: "Really, sister?"

Meng Qianqian nodded: "That's what they said."

Bai Yuwei immediately straightened her back: "Look! That's why I said you are just asking for trouble."

Meng Qianqian said softly: "If the emperor could execute a great contributor for no reason, there wouldn't be three provinces and six ministries. The prime minister's power has penetrated too deeply, and his reputation among the people is also high. If he is killed for no reason, civil strife will surely occur, and he may be forced to rebel, which will cause heavy casualties. The Great Zhou has been in war for years and can't afford such consumption."

Tan Er said word by word: "This is called stabilizing the country!"

Bai Yuwei whispered, "You're the only one who understands."

Tan Er put her hands on her hips and said, "I know more than you anyway!"

"arrive."

Meng Qianqian said, looking at the wall at the end of the corridor.

The wolf cub stood on its hind legs and kept digging at the wall with its front paws.

Bai Yuwei touched the wall and said, "This is a wall. Is the secret room behind it?"

-

"What do you mean by the heir of Qianji Pavilion?"

In the dim secret room, Lu Yuan's expression became more serious.

Chen Long said: "My adoptive mother is the eldest sister of Qianji Pavilion, one of the disciples of the old Pavilion Master. She grew up with her fellow junior brothers and was known as the golden boy and jade girl of Qianji Pavilion. Her junior brothers also wanted to marry her. Unfortunately, during one of the training trips, my adoptive mother met my adoptive father, and the two of them quickly got married."

"I don't really understand the rules of Qianji Pavilion. I also heard about it from my uncles and aunts. My adoptive mother gave up the position of Pavilion Master in order to marry my adoptive father."

Lu Yuan had a vague guess in his mind: "The Pavilion Master is——"

Chen Long said: "My adoptive mother's fellow disciple, who later became the leader of Qianji Pavilion."

Lu Yuan: "Qianji Pavilion holds a grudge against Shangjia because of this incident and colludes with the Loulan people to retaliate against Shangjia?"

Chen Long said coldly: "It's ridiculous, right?"

Lu Yuan sighed: "This is not absurd, it is evil, the most heinous evil."

Not even sparing children is an evil ingrained in one's bones.

"The sound of water stopped."

Chen Long suddenly stood up and looked up vigilantly, "Are we going to start filling the tank with water?"

Just as he finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared on the top from somewhere, and a drop of water fell down.

Chen Long reached out to take it.

Lu Yuan pulled him away: "Be careful!"

The water droplets fell to the ground, emitting a silvery light under the candlelight.

Lu Yuan said: "It's cinnabar, it's poisonous! Hold your breath!"

Chen Long held his breath and looked up, only to see the crack getting bigger and bigger, with cinnabar dripping more and more. At first it was just individual drops of water, but soon they formed a line.

Lu Yuan's face turned ugly.

This is too fast.

He had been injured, and his internal strength couldn't hold out for long.

Meng Xiaojiu, if you don't come, I will really have to be a widow again.

Boom——

The stone door was opened.

"elder brother!"

Meng Qianqian quickly pulled Chen Long out.

Lu Yuan, who was ignored by his beloved wife: "..."

When Meng Qianqian was pulling Chen Long, she had already seen that there was another person in the secret room, but by the time she reacted, her brother had already called out.

It’s over, it’s over. This is a big mess.

Lu Yuan walked out of the secret room with a gloomy face.

Meng Qianqian quickly pressed the switch and closed the stone door of the secret room, then looked at him with a smile on her face: "Husband, why are you here too? Isn't it only my brother who is included in the plan?"

"plan?"

Chen Long frowned.

The next second, his instep felt hot.

The little wolf cub finally peed.

After peeing, he raised his little head and showed the same arrogant expression as Baoshu.

At this moment, what else doesn't Chen Long understand?

"Lu-Yuan-"

Chen Long roared like a vicious dragon, raised his knife, and chased Lu Yuan all over the secret passage.

Meng Qianqian shook her head helplessly and amusedly.

Was it the same between my brother and Chu Nan in my previous life?

Or is it that Chu Nan is not as bad as Lu Yuan?
