Chapter 106: Don't Rob Me
The place of Cangyan is full of weirdness.
Just looking at the expansion of waterways in the land of lakes in the past, sacrificing a large area of the tributaries of the Hongjiang River to bypass this place, the facts are in front of us.
Now the whole team is deep underground, but we don't know if this dark river hangs above us or under our feet.
I have always believed Yun Chu's judgment, and since he has answered, I am bound to continue to ask.
Tapping his fingers on the rock wall for a long time, he calmly stated: "It should be not far from the rock formation, looking at the direction of the water, the current height is about the same as our position, if we go further into the cave, it is not excluded that there is a drop in it, in other words, we may also see this dark river on the way ahead." ”
I was relieved that it didn't pose a threat to our safety.
The range that the torch can shine on is limited, and it can only be counted one step at a time, and there is not much point in thinking about it.
At this time, I suddenly remembered, what have I ignored since last night until now?
Wandering over the team, I stood up and asked, "Where is the dog that Ah Si brought with me?" ”
"You're slow to react enough," Chen Yuqing said with a smile, "I just remembered this now." ”
Ah Si has never said much, and hesitated when he heard this: "Chen Gongzi asked it to deliver the letter." ”
"You left a trick?" I relaxed even more when I heard the answer, and said with a grin: "Did you send a letter to your group of subordinates, and send some people to help us?" ”
Without waiting for Chen Yuqing to answer, Lan Tian said gently: "When I sent Xiaoru, I also thought of the problem of manpower, so I found someone to leave a letter for the nearby post station, and my people should also arrive today." ”
"Don't rob me," Chen Yuqing glanced at him and smiled, "What." The things on this side of Cangyan seem to be really attractive. ”
The Ninth Princess interrupted and sneered: "As long as you don't come to ask for my life, you can come as many people as you want, but I have something to say first, the mechanism inside is strange, and you will have to sacrifice your men when the time comes." ”
At this time, she didn't seem to mind the people who came to covet the treasure.
The Ninth Princess added: "With the amount of information I already know, there are a lot of things, and with manpower, even if I can reach it safely, I will only be able to take it out, and for me." There is something more important than gold and silver, and when the time comes, I can take what I want. “
"So, I don't mind if you come for a piece of the pie. It's okay with Brother Tianfang, or it's on your side. The Ninth Princess turned around and said with a smile, her eyes flashing quickly towards Chen Yuqing.
Yun Chu's judgment was very correct, and he didn't travel long. The underground river appeared in front of us, and in the face of the river in front of us, Tianfang grabbed the stones on the ground and threw them in, confirming the depth according to the splash.
Chen Yuqing grabbed Ah Si and easily crossed to the other side of the river.
Tianfang looked at the flow of the river and glanced at Yun Chu: "This water looks like it flows into the Hongjiang River." “
Yun Chu agreed with his judgment and nodded: "Not bad." It should be into the Hongjiang River. ”
"If there is a small boat, can you float all the way to the Hongjiang River along this dark river?" I thought to myself.
"This can't." Tianfang smiled, "I'm afraid that there will be a gap between the dark river and the Hongjiang River, and if you drift down the river, the boat will definitely capsize." ”
"What are you grinding and chirping, do you want me to come over and rob someone?" Chen Yuqing on the other side said loudly. With an indescribable expression, "I thought you still had to fight." I didn't want to rob you guys. “
He raised an eyebrow at me.
As soon as the words fell, Yun Chu had already restrained me with the crook of his arm and flew lightly across the river.
The ninth princess was naturally brought over by the heavens.
The people had once again gathered on the other side of the river and continued along the cave.
"Huh." The Ninth Princess said, "Why is the road here narrower again, it looks similar to when I came in before." ”
I raised my hand to touch the stone wall above my head, and when I looked closely, I saw that the roof of the cave was no longer made entirely of stone, but mixed with a lot of dirt.
It seemed that we had reached the section of the road that had been dug out by man, and after walking for a long time, my suspicion was confirmed, and the traces of artificial excavation on the cave wall gradually increased, until it suddenly became clear in front of us, and we had walked a section of the mound road to a huge stone chamber.
The Ninth Princess was a little excited, and she stayed at the wall of the stone chamber, carefully examining the traces on it, as if to find something out of it.
The rest of the people turned around, exchanged glances, and said in unison, "I didn't find it." “
"This is just an ordinary stone chamber." Yun Chu said affirmatively, "Let's continue to hurry." “
Walking out of the stone room, it was another road carved out of the rocks, which was slightly wider than the previous section, and I always felt that there was a wind blowing over, and I was about to ask Yun Chu if it was my illusion, when I suddenly heard Ah Si, who was walking at the front of the team, shout.
Because he was scolded by the ninth princess just now, Ah Si's voice was obviously much softer this time.
We followed him out of the passage, and for a moment we were all stunned, and several people looked at them silently speechless.
From entering the Cangyan Mountain to now, for the first time, I have a feeling that I don't know what to do.
In front of us is the same stone chamber as the road we just passed, and the whole is much more spacious and taller, but there are three large and small caves facing the cave that we came out of when we came.
In this way, I have encountered a fork in the road in front of me, choose one of the three, how to go?
I looked at the three holes of different sizes in front of me, as if I heard them say, choose me, choose me, I am the right way.
Dizzy, the best way at this time is to wait for the military advisor in the team to sit down and discuss.
Actions are faster than thoughts, and I sat on the ground, waiting for the big men on the trip to discuss the decision.
The nine princesses beside me also sat down next to me, leaving the problem to them.
Chen Yuqing, Lan Tianfang, and Yun Chu seemed to have already discussed, and each chose a path to walk in, and I looked at the back of one of them a little nervously.
Ah Si sat down beside us silently.
In less than a cup of tea, they came out of the hole they had entered and had a brief conversation.
I watched Yun Chu come out, and my hanging heart finally let go, and I quickly got up and stepped forward.
According to their judgment, it was best to walk all three paths, but because of the limited time and the fact that they were walking each path at this time. I couldn't see the end of the road or come out of a stone chamber like before, which proves that all three roads are quite deep.
The best way to do this is to divide into groups and extend the exploration time, and if nothing is found, come back here to converge.
Several people are action-oriented, and Yun Chu pulled me over, so naturally he wanted a group.
Blue Sky Fang undoubtedly wants to protect the Nine Princesses.
The remaining two, of course, can only be Chen Yuqing and Ah Si.
Chen Yuqing pursed his lips and disdainfully the other two and said, "You guys grabbed it really fast this time." ”
If you can't make a new discovery or judge that it is the right path, you will turn back and meet in the stone room.
I walked the middle road with Yun Chu, and the hole was a bit bigger than the other two.
This time, Yun Chu was ahead of me. Holding a torch, he motioned for me to follow him.
He walked unhurriedly, and I followed him closely.
It was the first time that the two of us had the opportunity to be alone. I tugged at Yun Chu's sleeve and said, "Stop, I have something to ask you." ”
"Hmm," Yun Chu stopped and turned to me, placing the torch diagonally in the middle of a protruding slit in the stone wall of the cave, the light of the fire reflecting his face. The transfiguration on his face was still there, only a pair of eyes were deep that I was familiar with, "You want to ask why I'm so keen to do this?" ”
"Yes, I don't understand, our destination was not originally the country of lakes, and you and I are not familiar with the nine princesses. This treasure hunt is also a matter of life and death, but you seem to have followed without hesitation, I don't understand. ”
In the silence, Yun Chu smiled faintly.
I stepped forward. added: "What are the treasures in the Capture Rock? Too much to fight for your life? ”
I tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "But you don't look like a person who is short of money." ”
This time, Yun Chu finally laughed, he raised his hand and tapped it on my forehead, and in an instant, his eyes were like water, beautiful. Although the disguise on his face has not been removed, this smile can't hide the elegance.
He lifted the hem of his clothes. I just sat down and raised my hand, and I almost fell into his arms.
I quickly straightened my posture and sat down side by side with him.
"Do you count how many pursuers we have along the way?" He looked at me with a smile on his face.
"There's no way to count, anyway, we're either being hunted down or walking on the road to being hunted and killed." I sighed, couldn't help but glance at Yun Chu again, and then sighed in my heart: The side face is so good-looking.
"No matter how many chasing soldiers there are, no matter how many chess pieces are used, we would not have expected that we would have spare time to take care of other people's affairs at this time, and I would never have imagined that we were not in a hurry to rush to the outside of the Lake Country or find people in the territory to connect, but turned back to capture Cangyan."
"Xiao Ling'er, as I told you, the way of using soldiers is ever-changing, the more you don't play cards according to common sense, the greater the confusion you will naturally have for the enemy."
"Besides, if you take this trip, you don't know if you have gained anything, don't forget that we haven't even found any trace of the target yet, at best, we have just arrived at the periphery."
Running all the way, this moment is extraordinarily quiet and comfortable, although it is in the dark and somewhat oppressive mountain road.
After resting, we continued the rest of the way, and according to the agreed time, we each walked in about three teas, because there was a delay in the middle of the way, and the rest of the road was quickened to make up for the little time that was delayed.
We hadn't even reached the scheduled time, and we hadn't even had time to consider whether we were on the right path and whether we needed to turn back and rejoin the other two groups, when the next stone chamber arrived.
"Why is there a new road here," I looked at the two caves that appeared in front of us at the other end of the stone room, and I didn't know where to lead, I looked up at Yun Chu helplessly, "How do you choose now, choose one of the two, or turn back?" “
"Shhhh......h
The face looked alert: "Someone is coming from the other side!" “
