Stepping on the slippery and muddy riverbank all the way forward, I asked Yun Chu curiously: "When did you find out that the dark river you passed earlier is not a real tributary of this dark river, otherwise we wouldn't need to turn back and break the rock wall at all." ”

I'm really curious, because I grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and I always feel that although the river network is intertwined and complicated, the water is flowing, and there are always tributaries to connect them.

"The dark river we passed on that dead end road before should have been a collection of spring water from the mountains, passing through the underground and flowing all the way to the Hongjiang River, but it didn't intersect with the road we broke," Yun Chu explained.

"Xiao Ling'er, you ignore the gap between the two," Yun Chu grabbed my arm and walked around a clump of unnamed weeds, "This grass is poisonous, stay away." ”

"I told you before, the underground passage of Cangyan has always been undulating, but the overall direction is deep underground, which means that the dark river we saw through the stone wall is much higher than the other dark river we encountered on the way later, and the two are not related."

I understood, and subconsciously remembered that before I passed through my previous life, the dense subway lines in the city had been tossed from Line 1 to more than a dozen lines, and it was said that more than 20 lines would be opened in the future. Just that little space, I have to dig deeper and deeper, not to mention that I haven't had time to sit on the deepest line 17, just I crossed the 10th line before I came, the depth is no longer comparable to the first line, digging so many channels, and I am not afraid of geological subsidence.

"If I'm right, this water doesn't flow into the Hongjiang River." Yun Chu whispered.

"Where does the water go? Could it be that Chen Yuqing is right, is it flowing to the place where the treasure is buried? So, back then, the river was a project, and it was dug out by man? I was surprised and asked, "Where does the water in this river come from?" “

"This water may have infiltrated along the cracks in the rocks, or it may have weathered the rocks and there were springs flowing in from other places, but this water was certainly not stored at the beginning of the project. Otherwise, there will be an impact on the entire burial site. Yun Chu answered me again.

On the way to the underground, suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance, which startled the entire team to change their faces.

"The pursuers have arrived?" Chen Yuqing spoke first, "If it were my people, I wouldn't be so big." “

After he finished speaking, he cast his suspicious eyes on Lan Tianfang, who shook his head, and the same confused expression appeared on his beautiful face: "It can't be my people, this is not their style of doing things." “

"It's not good, so let's say, is it the people who are chasing the Nine Princesses here?" Chen Yuqing turned his gaze to the Ninth Princess, who was listening to the movement silently.

"I don't think so. If you listen carefully, this voice is clearly coming from underground, I remember you said that the people who were chasing the Nine Princesses came to capture Cangyan by water. Calculate the time, it's not so fast, the people on both sides of you must be blocking the road, full of calculations, and they can't come faster than us. Otherwise, your people would be too incompetent. Yun Chu spoke with ridicule.

"Can't you even delay a little time?" He added, "How did you train?" Looking at Chen Yuqing with slightly reproachful eyes, the latter quickly shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, it won't be my person." “

After a loud bang, it wasn't long after the separation. It was another loud bang, and even though it was far away, I could still hear a lot of movement from there.

"Such a big deal. Could it be that gunpowder is being used? Chen Yuqing raised his head abruptly and said, "If it's such a barbaric method......"

He glanced at Lan Tianfang, and said affirmatively: "It's the centaur from the Flame Country." “

"Not bad," Yun Chu nodded in agreement, "I think so." “

"Centaurs from the north. It should have been my brother's men, and the secret guard of the Sea Country received my brother's order to come from the northeast. The two of them must have met. "It dawned on me.

"No, Xiao Ling'er, it shouldn't have happened, Xuanyuan Jingya's people may have found a way to bypass the pursuers."

"So, is it fake to be close to each other, and the source of provoking this war is here?" I looked at Yun Chu and said the question in my heart.

"The Flame Country has been fighting continuously over the years, externally, trying to expand its territory, and internally, it is not very peaceful, it is estimated that their treasury is not very abundant." Lan Tianfang interjected and said.

"Xuanyuan Jingya's ambition is definitely more than that," the ninth princess said calmly, "She knows that because of the climate and geography of the country of lakes, the land is rich in products, and it must be inevitable to obtain this land, but knowing that there is still a large treasure, how could she refuse such a thing as icing on the cake, to be precise, she wants to seize the land, but also to take this batch of underground things for herself." ”

"Young master, didn't you say that the path we are taking now is the right way to lead to the burial ground? How could the centaurs of the Flame Country make such a big move, and the position is clearly below us? ”

"In the entire underground of the Capture Rock, we have walked through more than one passage before, there may be many, you think, the people of the Flame Country came from the north, we came in from the southwest foothills, I judge that the biggest possibility is that they took a dead end, found that something was wrong, and wanted to reach the treasure before the others, at this time, in order to seek speed, simply use gunpowder to destroy."

"I'm not afraid of ruining the whole treasure." I muttered, shook my head, and said, "Only a madman can do such a barbaric method." ”

I'm only halfway through what I've said, and this kind of method of doing things looks like the barbaric demolition team I saw on the news before the crossing.

The tools are quite advanced, and the gunpowder is used, which is similar to the overall blasting!

"Her style has always been like this, junior sister, did you only know today?" Lan Tian smiled and glanced at me.

That expression instantly reminded me of the incident in the Dingbei Palace, I couldn't help but be happy, and I was about to say a few words to him Your money is coming, isn't it here to arrest you back.

I suddenly remembered that the ninth princess was still by my side, and I watched her treat her brother a little bit along the way, so I still swallowed that sentence and didn't say anything.

I don't think Lan Tianfang wants everyone to know about those things.

I silently exchanged glances with him, and I felt that he understood everything I was thinking.

Tacitly, we nodded to each other.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yuqing interjected and said a little unhappily, "Is there any other secret?" ”

I ignored him and tugged at Yun Chu's sleeve: "I don't know if it's Xiao Jue, if it's him, I'm not worried." ”

Thinking of the time when Yun Chu was injured in Dingbei Wangfu to save me, my heart tightened, and I couldn't help grabbing his arm, this time if the chasing soldiers attacked, I must block him behind me, even if my skills are not as good as others, I can't be a burden to him, and once again let him be injured in order to protect me, absolutely not.

Yun Chu patted the back of my hand comfortingly, he should understand what he didn't say.

Chen Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "The people of the Flame Country are so generous and use gunpowder to blow up the underground passage, don't they know that there is an underground river here?" ”

Yes, I also thought about it, so if they broke through the stone wall layer and accidentally connected to the water of this dark river in front of us, wouldn't it flood the tunnel?

I was a little gloating and happy, and it was better that it would have saved us the effort of clearing the enemy without much effort.

"The soldiers and horses of the Flame Country, are they not familiar with water?" I thought of the large desert in the other country, and I couldn't help but ask Lan Tianfang, "Senior brother, you know the enemy better than me, but you can talk about it." ”

Lan Tianfang nodded and said: "You are right, the terrain that the people of the Flame Country are best at fighting must have nothing to do with water, if they accidentally open up the stone layer connected to this dark river and the tunnel, all these waters will go down, and only a few people can escape." ”

"Why don't we stop here and wait and see the results." Several people high-fived and agreed.

"It's best to finish off this gang of minions on the periphery of the treasure land, otherwise it's really over there, there are many organs, and the field for doing it is not big, and if you don't carelessly touch the mechanism, you will have to burn the jade, and these minions are not worthy of our burial." Chen Yuqing sat down, lowered his head and casually grabbed a weed to play.

"That grass is poisonous!" I hurriedly spoke.

"Ah," he hurriedly threw the grass, and his fingers quickly became red and swollen.

Chen Yuqing raised that finger and looked at Yun Chu with a pitiful expression.

Yun Chu ignored him, and after a long while, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve and threw it over.

"Thank you," Chen Yuqing took it with a smile, and raised her eyebrows at me with some difficulty, "See, I hurt my right hand, it's inconvenient." ”

I ignored his expression, and he turned his gaze back to the Ninth Princess, who was chatting happily with Lan Tianfang, and didn't even glance at him.

"Childe, I'll help you." Ah Si, who had not spoken, looked at Chen Yuqing and saw that no one was paying attention to Chen Yuqing, stepped forward to take the medicine, and gestured clumsily to serve him the medicine.

"Ahh Chen Yuqing screamed and looked at Ah Si complainingly.

"No, it won't." People looked at him very sincerely and said, "This kind of injury, we mountain people generally don't deal with it, at most spit a little saliva and wipe it, and it will be fine in half a day." ”

"Saliva?" Chen Yuqing quickly put her hand back and said in disgust.

"Yes," Ah Si's expression became more sincere, "but ordinary people who would go to get poisonous weeds by themselves, they were accidentally injured when they were in a hurry or hunting, and who would be stupid enough to catch them by themselves, and they are not brainless." ”

"......" Chen Yuqing's eyebrows wrinkled when she heard this.

"This knife looks so good." I happily said to Yun Chu, "Honest people are reasoning when they speak." “

The rumbling sound came from afar, and it sounded every once in a while, and the men and horses under Xuanyuan Jingya of the Flame Country were really industrious.

There was a loud bang, and the dark river in front of us suddenly fluctuated, and then it was like a floodgate, and it flowed rapidly forward.

"It's really accurate, haha, the Dragon King Temple has been flooded." The sound of water came, and Chen Yuqing held up his fingers that were swollen like carrots, and said happily.
