Chapter 1879: Good Strength
Along the way, he made countless crescent-shaped marks. Every time he made one, he imagined in his mind the good days of prosperity in the future. Xirong City was far behind him.
"She promised me that as long as I completed the task, she would fulfill all my wishes."
Baisi could not help but smile. With the mark he left behind, someone would come looking for him soon. Then he would be able to escape from slavery and no longer have to work like a slave and live in fear.
At the same time, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also received the signal sent back by the secret guards. The familiar mark made Chen Changli and Wan Shufang look serious. They had recognized that this was not a simple crescent shape, but the secret language of the previous dynasty.
In order to prevent information from being leaked, people in the previous dynasty created a secret language to convey messages.
"It seems that this matter is really related to the late queen. This is a secret language unique to the previous dynasty. If we hadn't seen it when we fought it, I'm afraid we wouldn't have recognized it."
As Wan Shufang spoke, her expression became increasingly uglier. More and more clues pointed to the late queen, which meant that their opponent had always been that person, and that person had even become stronger.
This would make Wan Shufang feel frustrated, as she had been fighting with her for so long but there had been no progress.
Seeing Wan Shufang's dejection, Amir was called away by the King of Xirong, so there were only two of them left here. He reached out, took Wan Shufang into his arms, and his warm lips fell on Wan Shufang's forehead.
"Shufang, this is not our fault. It's because the late queen was too cunning. She has been lingering on until now and even poisoned the people. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. If you're tired, take a rest and I'll take care of these things."
His tone was indescribably gentle, and only when facing Wan Shufang would this man, who was always cold in the eyes of outsiders, show this kind of expression.
This comfort made Wan Shufang feel much better. She hugged Chen Changli back and said, "How can I let you face it alone? No matter what happens, we are together."
After hearing Wan Shufang's words, Chen Changli felt even more guilty. He had resigned from his official position in order to take Wan Shufang out to enjoy life and see the beautiful scenery.
As a result, the subsequent troubles arose because the remnants of the previous dynasty were not dealt with completely.
"It's all my fault. If I had dealt with the person right away, you wouldn't be so hard-pressed now." Chen Changli's eyes revealed guilt. Wan Shufang quickly raised her head and reached out to smooth his frown.
"Emotions are always mutual, Chen Changli, stop taking all the responsibility on yourself."
"I..." Chen Changli was about to say something, but when he met Wan Shufang's determined eyes, he was defeated and smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay."
"Then let's get ready and close the net."
"it is good!"
Wan Shufang and Chen Changli walked out of the room and arranged for other secret guards to get ready. Everything went according to plan.
At this time, in the suburbs.
Bai Xi waited for a long time, and finally someone came to find him. After the secret signal was given, Bai Xi finally felt relieved.
He took out the token with a smile on his face and said, "I am Baisi, take me to see the master."
The masked man in black took the token, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned the token to him: "Follow me."
The two men walked one after the other. Baisi was very excited and wanted to talk along the way, but seeing the impatient look on the man in black, he suppressed his inner excitement.
The secret guard sent by Chen Changli also saw the man in black. Even though he was some distance away, he could feel the man's strong internal energy and was probably quite powerful.
He didn't dare to follow too closely and could only follow from a distance to avoid being discovered and unable to defeat two people.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the man in black brought Baixi to a big mountain.
"Why is it a mountain? Why did you bring me here? Where is my master?" The bare mountain wall was daunting. Bai Xi was very alert and kept a distance from the man in black when asking questions.
Seeing his action, the man in black couldn't help but sneer: "Idiot."
He glanced back with the corner of his eye, then quickly looked away. Regardless of what Baixi thought, the man in black groped on the wall of the mountain.
Then, a rumbling sound was heard, and a stone door at the side opened, revealing a little light from inside, but it was unclear whether anyone lived there.
"Let's go, there are good things waiting for you inside." After saying this, the man in black took the lead and stepped in. Baisi thought about it, and finally desire overcame fear, and he followed.
The secret guard didn't dare to follow them. After seeing the two people go in, the stone door closed. He watched from a distance for a while before leaving a mark and leaving.
"I have to go back and tell my master as soon as possible." After making the decision, the secret guard quickly returned to the mansion and reported what happened here to Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
After Baixi and the man in black entered the stone gate, they walked inside for a long time, but Baixi did not meet the person he wanted to see. He did not become suspicious. After all, he had exchanged secret codes with the man in black and had seen the token, so it was impossible for this man to lie to him.
As Baisi went deeper into the cave, it became dark and gloomy with only a little light. Perhaps the darkness gave Baisi some courage. The closer he got inside, the more excited he became, and he even linked arms with the man in black.
"Hey, little brother, let me tell you, the master has promised me many benefits. When I meet her and fulfill her wish, I will give you some of the benefits as well."
"Don't be so aloof. Maybe I will ask my master to ask you to come here to be my bodyguard." Bai Xi's voice became louder and louder, and the expression on his face became more excited, as if he was immersed in his own fantasy.
Baisi has been a slave since he was young. Over the years, he has suffered all kinds of insults. He has worked hard step by step and finally climbed to a certain height. But in the end, he found that he is still a slave and can be beaten or killed by his master at will!
He resented the unfairness of fate, so he cooperated with that man, and had been relying on the idea of looking forward to the day of turning things around to hold on until now. Now that he was about to succeed, how could Baisi not be excited?
But before he could come out of his fantasy, a faint light in front of him caught his eyes, and the scene in front of him suddenly became bright, and the man in black slowly stopped.
“Are we there yet?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger flashed with a cold light. Before Bai Xi could react, he was stabbed in the throat by the other party.
He covered his bleeding neck with his hands, his pair of black eyes filled with disbelief, staring at the dagger in the black-clothed man's hand, as if asking why.
Seeing him like this, the man in black kicked him away. Facing Baixi's unwilling and resentful look, he wiped the dagger elegantly.
Before Baisi died, the man in black walked up to him, squatted down, and spoke slowly: "You didn't even know you were being targeted, you idiot."
"Killing you can be considered as relieving the master's worries."
