Because of the lake water, everyone's hearts were covered by a layer of shadow. If there was a problem with the water earlier, then why haven't there been so many people with problems in the stronghold yet?

If he only poisoned them after they arrived here, then … Who was that person? And when?

Mu Ru Yue originally wasn't that nervous. Even when she was warned by the red-clothed child in the village, she had only treated it as a prank. After all … If they truly had the ability, they wouldn't have warned and bluffed like this. But now, it seemed, her thoughts were too little.

The other party was truly capable. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to have poisoned everyone here.

Yun'er was the one who rushed the carriage. Aunt Black originally wanted to go, but she was stopped by Mu Ru Yue. After all, Black Aunt was a guest that they were travelling with. Even if she wanted to make use of him, she wouldn't let Black Uncle drive the carriage.

Furthermore … If Uncle Black were to go, they would be unable to guard against him bringing them to a dangerous place.

Inside the carriage, everyone felt a bit depressed. Black Martial Aunt's worry was written all over her face. She frowned, "A Yue, you said that the people from my stronghold won't believe my brand, right? [What should I do if I don't believe it?

The dan beads Master Bai gave us can't last that long. "

The aunt said worriedly.

"This …" Mu Ru Yue felt a bit helpless. She wouldn't be able to guess what she would say.

"Are you really that worried about those people in the village?" White Mirrorjade looked at the black aunt and asked.

Black Martial Aunt nodded. "Of course. We are a family."

Black Martial Aunt's words were as expected. White Mirrorjade instantly laughed. "Heh! Family? In this young master's opinion, you and that Great Elder are one and the same. As for the people in this stronghold, they are incompatible with you.

In your eyes, there is no trace of worry. "

White Mirrorjade pointed to the other person's eyes.

Black Aunt's face turned ugly: "Young Master, what did you say? Of course I'm worried about the people in the village, you don't even know how can you be so sure about your words. "

"On what basis?" White Mirrorjade was about to continue speaking when she saw that the two of them were probably arguing. Murong Yue didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said, "If it was the Great Elder, she definitely wouldn't let the people from the stronghold go out and buy them at this critical moment. Listen to what you said.

It's obvious that you guys have just arrived not long ago to purchase them. If that's the case, then the usage of the stronghold should be sufficient.

"Really?" When Black Aunt heard what Mu Ru Yue said, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Of course, I think the Elder is smarter than you, Black Martial Aunt. Moreover, he's an old man and has experienced a lot. Nothing will happen to him." As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she glared at White Mirrorjade, motioning for him to speak less.

White Mirrorjade's eyebrows shot up. He didn't continue speaking. However, White Mirrorjade was still extremely disgusted with Black Martial Aunt. This sort of disgust was extremely baffling.

Black Aunt could tell that Master Bai didn't like her, so she decided to stay with Mu Ru Yue and said passionately, "Yue, after this is over, I will follow you to the capital, right?"

"To Beijing?" Mu Ru Yue was stunned.

"Yeah, I …" I still want to find that person. Even though Great Elder had been unwilling for me to go, I still wanted to see him and tell him that I don't blame him. " Black Aunt smiled shyly.

Aunt Black was not ugly in the first place, and her smile was even more pleasing. Even the scar on her face did not look that ugly anymore.

To the capital?

Mu Ru Yue thought for a moment, then she thought about Black Aunt's situation. Perhaps after this matter ends, it would be time for Black Aunt to make her choice? The stronghold, and her own future.

Should she choose to stay in the stronghold and not let these people go, or should she let these people go and let herself go?

If she were to let everyone go, they might really be able to go all the way to the capital. However, if he chose the former, they would probably never see each other again, right?

The Black Uncle would become the successor of the Great Elder, the master of the stronghold. He then continued to stay in the village, not allowing anyone to enter. As usual.

"Yue, don't you welcome me? Is it... "Am I being rude?" Seeing that Mu Ru Yue was hesitating, the black uncle lowered his voice. He felt slightly disappointed.

Seeing her misunderstanding, Mu Ru Yue hastily replied, "Of course not. If you still want to go when the time comes, I naturally welcome you." At that time, I will accompany you to find that heartless man. "

"Really?" The Black Martial Aunt was in high spirits.

Mu Ru Yue nodded with a smile.

On the side, White Mirrorjade only watched the two of them interacting with each other, disagreeing in his heart. He then looked outside the carriage.

The horse carriage headed towards the direction of the small village. However, they only followed the map because they hadn't seen a single family ever since they left the desert.

Along the way, besides the mountain, there were some thorny paths.

"Is that true?" After around four hours, White Mirrorjade, who had been looking outside the entire time, asked a bit speechlessly.

"The map was confirmed by you guys. If you want to follow the map, you should be right." Mu Ru Yue asked.

"But on the way, there weren't even any houses." White Mirrorjade frowned.

"There are no houses here. The stronghold is located in a remote area, and if we want to go to a place where we can live, I'm afraid we'll need to spend the night here. We'll probably have to stay in a carriage tonight." The Black Martial Aunt said.

A carriage?

When the crowd heard that they were going to sleep in the carriage, they immediately felt the shadow. It had to be said that they had spent the night in the carriage and were brought to that strange village the next day.

Seeing that both Mu Ru Yue and White Mirrorjade had strange expressions, Black Martial Aunt was also embarrassed. "Err …" There are very few people here, so it's very safe. Otherwise, how can I guard it for you? "

"That won't be necessary, as long as it's safe. We can't afford to be late. " Mu Ru Yue asked.

Hearing what she said, Black Martial Aunt felt a bit more apologetic. At the beginning, they only brought them back because they were the ones who cut off the bridge. They didn't expect so many things to happen later on. He even had to trouble them.

Thinking of this, Black Martial Aunt felt regret and also rejoiced. He regretted his rudeness back then. Wouldn't it have been better to invite people into the stronghold? But fortunately, he did not let them off.

Else, the stronghold would have been completely disintegrated by now, right?

No one was willing to wait for death. Although the people in the village were obedient and listened to her and the Great Elder, that was only because she and the Great Elder had ways to deal with them.

What also did not exist were the efforts of the ancestors in those years.

No matter what, Black Aunt could not forget what the Great Elder said to her two days ago. I can't forget it either … The ancestral hall that made her feel suppressed. That was the darkness of the entire stronghold, and it was also their insistence.

There were even many times when the Black Aunt could not help but wonder what exactly she was.

No one said anything along the way. The calmest among them had probably been silent all this time. Although he had very few words to say along the way.

Only towards Mu Ru Yue would he say a little more.

However, Mu Ru Yue, who was already used to being quiet, couldn't help but worry. It was as if her entire being had changed ever since she left for the south. There was no more relaxation.

The sky gradually darkened and the group was finally unable to see the piece of sand anymore. The surroundings also gradually became lively. Outside, the nightingale was chirping, and everyone was beginning to feel sleepy.

Chen Qing stood up and said to Mu Ru Yue, "Royal Consort, let me go change Yun Er."

"Alright." Mu Ru Yue nodded. If she didn't want to go, then she would have to replace Yun Er with her. After all, Yun'er had been driving for a whole day and was probably exhausted.

Soon, Yun'er walked in, her face filled with exhaustion.
