In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 115 Stone Wall and Token

In the end, General Zhao told Qin Xuanyu everything in detail.

"These are all the things I know, but as for the Ghost Sect, I truly know nothing about it."

General Zhao then told Qin Xuanyu about the method and time for their meeting.

Jiang Luofeng, who had finally come to her senses, took the initiative to take on the task, seemingly wanting to make amends.

"General Zuo, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can issue a proclamation to recruit talents who are proficient in array formations. I plan to explore the Misty Forest again."

Jiang Qingyue knew that array formations were her weakness, so she urgently needed manpower.

Since they encountered the formation back then, it means that there must be some secret hidden behind it. However, they were in a hurry and were unprepared, so they could not stay any longer.

This time, with a specific goal in mind, we can explore the area.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away!"

Because General Zhao was arrested, all matters were temporarily handed over to General Zuo, who immediately prepared to have a notice drafted.

"Have you forgotten that there's someone readily available? Don't you trust me?" Qin Xuanyu didn't understand why Jiang Qingyue would go to such lengths instead of seeking help from someone nearby.

In fact, Jiang Qingyue thought that now that Qin Xuanyu's identity had been exposed, they couldn't let Qin Xuanyu take the risk with them.

"No, Your Highness, it's too dangerous!" Sure enough, General Zuo immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Yes, it's fine if we don't know his identity, but once we do, how could we possibly let him take the risk himself?

"I've been there before and am more familiar with the formations. If you find more people, it will require more time to get them to work out, which I hope will be a waste of time. Just pick some skilled soldiers from the army to come with me."

Moreover, Jiang Qingyue, have you forgotten that I also need…?

At this point, Qin Xuanyu didn't continue, but Jiang Qingyue understood instantly.

Yes, he also needs to find an antidote. "Okay."

Since the parties involved had already made their decision, it was too late for General Zuo to stop them. He had no choice but to agree and send more people to reinforce Qin Xuanyu, most of whom had already been there with him before.

This time, the group was already familiar with the route and quickly arrived at the location where the formation had been broken last time.

The group continued deeper into the formation, where they found themselves at the edge of a mountain wall covered in thorns, with no path leading to it.

Qin Xuanyu stepped forward to inspect the area and had several soldiers use weapons to pry open the plants on the stone wall, revealing a stone door.

The stone gate is carved with many patterns, mottled and complex, seemingly forming some kind of design, but it is not very clear.

However, for some reason, Jiang Qingyue felt that the trend of the pattern lines had a vague sense of familiarity.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xuanyu noticed Jiang Qingyue's expression and stepped forward to ask.

"I feel like I've seen this pattern somewhere before, but I can't quite place it."

Jiang Qingyue kept observing the pattern on it, but she still couldn't figure it out.

However, she made an unexpected discovery.

As she approached the stone gate, she felt a gentle breeze, and the air that wafted through it was exceptionally fresh, definitely free of any poisonous odors.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but wonder what material a stone door was made of, capable of isolating the poisonous barrier.

Jiang Qingyue turned to look at the group of soldiers, "Do you have any way to scrape some of the powder off this stone wall?"

The soldiers looked at each other, wondering why they needed to scrape this off, since everything was covered in dirty ash.

However, they only needed to obey orders, and even if they had doubts, they still carried them out directly.

As several soldiers were struggling to scrape the stone wall with their weapons, Qin Xuanyu noticed a detail. "Come and take a look."

Jiang Qingyue looked in the direction Qin Xuanyu pointed and saw a groove between the two stone doors. The groove was oval in shape and had some patterns on it.

When Jiang Qingyue saw the shape of the groove, her pupils contracted, and she finally remembered why this thing felt familiar.

Jiang Qingyue grabbed Qin Xuanyu's arm instantly, her emotions running high.

Qin Xuanyu signaled the soldiers to stop and retreat a little further away.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xuanyu looked at Jiang Qingyue and guessed that she probably knew something.

Jiang Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then whispered a few words to Qin Xuanyu.

Upon hearing Jiang Qingyue's words, Qin Xuanyu was also somewhat surprised. He then glanced at the groove in the stone door and stared intently at Jiang Qingyue, "Are you serious?"

Jiang Qingyue nodded, then took out a black token, which was the very token that the senior she had saved had given her.

Seeing that the patterns on the token and the grooves on the stone wall matched perfectly, the two fell silent.

Jiang Qingyue remained silent because she never expected that the senior she had saved was actually a member of the Ghost Sect, and that the poison he had been poisoned by also came from the Ghost Sect. His medical skills were probably related to the past conflict between the Poison Sect and the Medicine Sect.

Qin Xuanyu's silence was a silence about Jiang Qingyue's luck; it was hard to say whether she was lucky or unlucky.

"Shall we give it a try?" Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but ask Qin Xuanyu for his opinion.

No one knows what lies behind this stone wall, or whether there is any danger.

Qin Xuanyu shook his head. "Let's hold back for now. We don't have enough manpower. Let's see if there's any news from Jiang Luofeng. Call Wuming over, and I'll mobilize my own men. This involves things that ordinary soldiers might not be able to handle. Without some capable people, don't try to get involved lightly."

To be on the safe side, Qin Xuanyu ultimately decided not to open the stone wall, but the trip was not without its rewards.

Back in the tent, Jiang Qingyue opened the cloth bag and watched as the soldiers painstakingly scraped off the powder, preparing to make a bold attempt.

Qin Xuanyu ordered his men to guard the entrance to the tent so that no one would disturb Jiang Qingyue. Then, he went out to gather more men.

What seemed like a short day and night to outsiders was exceptionally long. If Qin Xuanyu hadn't specifically given instructions, General Zuo would have been worried that something might happen to Jiang Qingyue.

Finally, a commotion came from the tent, and Jiang Qingyue came out with a look of surprise, "Qin Xuanyu!"

As soon as the tent flap was opened, Jiang Qingyue saw General Zuo standing at the door with several soldiers, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Where is King Qin...?" Jiang Qingyue almost blurted out Qin Xuanyu's name again.

However, even though Jiang Qingyue changed her words, everyone still heard her address the King of Qin by his given name. They couldn't help but keep their eyes down and pretend they hadn't heard anything. General Zuo was even more shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

Then, upon hearing Jiang Qingyue's question, he coughed and said, "His Highness has gone out and should be back soon."

As if on cue, Qin Xuanyu strode towards them, followed by Jiang Luofeng, who was carrying something in his hand.

Upon seeing Qin Xuanyu, Jiang Qingyue couldn't hide her surprise and delight, "Qin... Your Highness!"

Jiang Qingyue quickly stepped forward and gestured towards the direction of the tent to Qin Xuanyu, her face beaming with joy.

Qin Xuanyu guessed that there must be a result.

"Let's go take a look!" After saying that, the two walked directly into the tent, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
