Chapter 393: Ning Hanmo? Is it you?

Not waiting for Ning Qiancheng's reply, she directly entered the last cave entrance; following Bai Zhi's habit, she would definitely be close to herself, so it was the middle cave entrance.

Then there was only one……

Wait!

Wait again!

Jiang Yunchu's steps grew faster and faster; lightness skill could not be used in the sealed cave entrance, but she kept running, causing sweat to drop from her forehead one after another.

On the ground lay corpses, scattered weapons here and there, and some miscellaneous things; she had no time to observe, only knowing to rush forward, to walk forward.

But……

This path led to a dead end, a stone door blocking her way.

Ning Hanmo? Is it you?

Ning Hanmo? Jiang Yunchu shouted loudly, her trembling hands patting the stone door, carefully waiting for a response from inside.

But there was none……

Quiet and still, not a sound from even a sparrow.

Even the sounds from other passages seemed cut off, not a single sound reaching her.

Boom!

Inside again came the sound of an explosion; Jiang Yunchu could be certain, this was the passage.

She began searching the surroundings for mechanisms, searching for half an hour; her thoughts grew more chaotic, her inner anxiety grew, for if one were to say who she cared about most in the world, it would certainly be these two children, even more dear than the Jiang family, the Kang clan, the emperor's maternal uncle, and the Zhuang clan.

Because these two children were the first warmth she felt in her two lives as a human.

Ning Hanmo, Ning Yue Xue, are her children!

Hah!! She closed her eyes, exhaled a breath, forcing herself to calm down.

Her current anxiety cannot save the children, it would only waste time.

Silence!

Standing before the stone door, she took three deep breaths, forced herself to calm, then opened her eyes; a cold gleam flashed in them, filled with strong killing intent.

She began along the stone wall, searching, recalling the cave she had just taken wrong, pondering the differences between the two caves.

Eyes!

Jiang Yunchu's sword in her hand directly stabbed into a spot; the rabbit on the stone wall, in the first cave, here too there was a rabbit, but this place had black eyes inlaid, yet this rabbit was a rabbit without eyes!

Just at this moment……

Boom——

That blocking stone door opened from bottom to top; just as it opened a small gap, Jiang Yunchu rolled from the ground and went straight inside.

Ning Hanmo! Jiang Yunchu roared loudly, yet still there was no response; inside this stone door was another passage, the lights on the walls flickering, casting the passage in a dim yellow glow.

At this moment, Bai Zhi also saw the anxious Jia Chuan; because the middle passage was farther, correspondingly they had gone deeper, when Bai Zhi found Jia Chuan, her expression changed.

Master!

Continue forward, be careful, outside matters we will handle. Bai Zhi, though anxious, steadied Jia Chuan.

Jia Chuan saw her anxiety, his steady voice replied, 'I trust the Dean, and I trust them.'

Afterward, the black-clad youth turned steadily and continued forward; if not for his tightly clenched fists, one would surely believe his words.

Their companions had their own gates to breach; he had his mission.

Jia Chuan tightly closed his eyes, 'Continue exploration.'

Yes!

Whether it was the Wang Fu guards or the regular Wang Fu army, at this moment everyone, looking at the youth leading the team, felt a sense of conviction rising within.

Emotions, everyone has them.

Being able to restrain emotions—that is the bearing of a great general!

And this youth, how old is he? He can steady his mind, be rational; following someone like him, they will feel at ease.

But, does he have no emotions?

No, he does; it's just that reason triumphs over emotion.

Jiang Yunchu continued forward exploration, walking a very long way, she saw a second stone door; before this stone door, she quickly thought of how to open it, what exactly does this cave have? Could it be laid with one mechanism stone door after another?

Having calmed down, Jiang Yunchu quickly found the way to pass; the chaotic lights on the wall returned to their original positions, and the heavy stone door slowly opened.

But……

When she entered inside, a volley of arrows shot out from the disordered opening……

Mother! Ning Hanmo stared wide-eyed, seeing the arrows relentless, while the white-clad woman was in the midst of the arrow storm.

He raised the small steel sword in his hand, lunged forward straight into the arrow zone, blocking in front of Jiang Yunchu; his tiny body seemed to give Jiang Yunchu limitless energy.

He's unharmed……

That's good!

All worries, at this moment were set aside; she asked for little, only hoping these children would be safe and sound.

You little brat, what are you doing coming over? Can't your mother's martial arts handle it? Jiang Yunchu cursed.

But the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her current mood.

Ning Hanmo hehe laughed, 'Whether Mother can cope or not is her own ability.'

How could a son watch his mother fend for herself?

Hearing Mother's scolding, his heart felt warm; isn't this just like ordinary folk, a mother's helpless reprimand to her child?

He too is someone who has a mother!

I'll shout three-two-one, we'll retreat together! Jiang Yunchu quickly said; these small openings, who knows how many feathered arrows were set, already half an hour has passed, yet the feathered arrows show no sign of stopping.

Three!

Two!

Withdraw!

Jiang Yunchu let out a loud shout; the mother and son rolled in unison, tumbling out of the arrow attack zone, their movements perfectly matched.

"Congratulations, you're still alive." Jiang Yunchu saw Ning Hanmo; although he had some scrapes on his face and wounds on his arms, overall he was still intact, missing nothing.

"Sorry to worry you, Mother, it's the son's fault." Ning Hanmo lifted his head, saw the worry in his mother's eyes, stepped forward, and hesitantly embraced Jiang Yunchu's waist. "Mother, I will live, no matter how great the difficulty, I will live."

If he died, he knew, his mother would go crazy.

Just as if his mother came to harm, he too would go crazy!

He understood, so he lived; as long as he could draw a breath, even if every day was hell, he would live, because someone at home waited for him, to return home…

Jiang Yunchu gave his head a hard pat: "A real man, a big tofu, walk upright, stand proper, what's with all the fidgeting?"

Ning Hanmo felt a pain on his head; after over a year of body training, how could he not feel the wind?

But he didn't want to dodge!

"Yes!" The little boy left his mother's embrace, his face still breaking into a goofy smile.
