After saying that, Rong Xun immediately understood. His eyes were fixed on the guards lying on the ground in the distance. With just a tilt of his head, these people immediately covered their mouths.
One of them quickly explained, "We have no idea what you've done. We know nothing, really nothing!"
With this answer, Tang Youyou leisurely carried a large basket of bananas and walked into this place that all the dignitaries feared.
Once inside the city, most of the people were simply dressed, which had a lot to do with the money they'd been robbed of by the unscrupulous guards at the city gate.
The passers - by scurried away in a hurry the moment they saw Tang Youyou, as if she were a plague.
On the loess plateau, sand and stones were flying everywhere. Rong Xun tried his best to stand in front of her to protect his beloved from any harm.
"Xiaoyou'er, it's my fault. I've made you suffer here," he said.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou frowned and replied, "It's not really suffering. We won't go to those inns today. I don't trust the inns in this place. Let's go to Beishan Temple instead."
"Beishan Temple?" Rong Xun asked in confusion.
"Yes, exactly," she answered.
Seeing Tang Youyou's serious look, the others didn't say anything more.
Before long, they arrived at the dilapidated temple. There was no one inside. The windows were broken, the inner rooms were moldy, and there were holes in the roof. Not even a beggar would probably stay there for long.
Even a passing dog might shake its head at this place.
Seeing this, Old Man Tang slowly got out of the carriage. He looked around at everything here, and finally let out a long sigh, swallowing back the words he'd wanted to say.
Seeing Old Man Tang's hesitant look, Tang Youyou was a bit puzzled. "Old Man Tang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling wronged?"
Seeing Tang Youyou's serious face, Old Man Tang gritted his teeth and forced a smile, trying to hold back the pain in his heart.
"Of course not. How could I, an old man, feel wronged with my granddaughter? Right?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded instinctively. Then she showed an angelic smile and said, "Grandpa is so well - behaved. I don't have to worry about anything."
Old Man Tang nodded and sat alone on a small stool, quietly looking at this dilapidated place.
This was like heaven and earth compared to the Empress Dowager's Mansion. There was simply no comparison.
Sure enough, once you've gotten used to fine food, it's hard to go back to coarse grains.
On the other side, Kang Fuhai led Tang Youyou towards the foot of Beishan.
Rong Xun followed closely behind them. They came to a cave. The cave was about ten meters high and a hundred meters wide, and the interior covered several hectares.
But inside this huge cave, it was pitch - black.
Seeing this, Rong Xun immediately grabbed Tang Youyou and gently reminded her, "Madam, what are you planning to do?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou was initially confused, but then she reacted and explained, "There's something we need here."
"Something we need?"
Tang Youyou nodded. "Yes, the food we need is all here."
Saying that, Tang Youyou walked into the cave on her own. When Rong Xun tried to follow her in, he found that Tang Youyou had disappeared.
"You'er, Xiaoyou'er?"
Rong Xun called out her name uncertainly.
But his voice echoed in the cave without getting any response!
This time, he was completely panicked. Rong Xun continued walking into the cave. Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly felt someone pulling at him from behind.
Just as he was about to fight the person behind him, that familiar voice came again.
"Shh, there's someone else inside."
Hearing Tang Youyou's words, the worry in Rong Xun's heart finally subsided.
He carefully grabbed Tang Youyou's little hand and whispered in her ear, "Madam, if you leave without saying a word like this again, don't blame your husband for teasing you tonight."
Hearing Rong Xun's words, Tang Youyou broke out in a cold sweat.
She was stunned for a moment and then nodded. "Of course. Your wife will definitely tell her husband in advance next time."
Seeing Tang Youyou call herself "your wife" for the first time, Rong Xun's anger and worry disappeared.
It took him a long time to speak again. "It's good that Madam is like this."
The two supported each other and came to the deepest part of the cave. There were two red glows inside, which meant there was indeed someone else living here.
This was also within Tang Youyou's expectation.
There were always some people who would know the secret here. Some people would surely know about the food and supplies that had been stored on the border before.
By the light of the torch, they finally saw clearly the person inside. It was a ragged, bearded vagabond.
This person was extremely dirty.
Looking closely, there was no one else in this place except this man.
Tang Youyou shook her head, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Little brother, how did you find this place?"
Perhaps because Tang Youyou's voice sounded even more eerie in the cave, and this person seemed to be hearing other voices for the first time in this place, he was so scared that he immediately jumped up from the ground.
He looked at Tang Youyou in a panic, nervously sizing up the two people walking towards him.
But from beginning to end, he didn't make a single sound.
Tang Youyou looked into this person's eyes. From his eyes, she saw only two words, "ambition."
His eyes were actually the very rare yin - yang eyes.
This was a disaster star that only appeared once in a hundred years.
Tang Youyou smiled and said, "I think my question was clear enough. Please, sir, answer me. Where do you come from?"
Hearing this, this person seemed not to understand what she was saying and just stood there quietly. Behind him were the food supplies that Tang Youyou had secretly sent here before.
This person's every move was like that of a savage, and his appearance was disheveled.
This person still refused to speak. Even when he was most afraid, he could remain calm and silent.
This only meant one thing: this person had lost his humanity and couldn't speak at all.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou glanced at Rong Xun beside her and told him all her speculations.
Hearing this, Rong Xun frowned slightly, gave the man a disdainful look, and then said, "If Xiaoyou'er has other ideas, just go ahead. Your husband will always support you."
After saying that, Tang Youyou nodded and walked towards the man in the distance.
