Chapter 68: The Secret Path
In the dark, Su Yue tightly grasped Zhou Jingchen's palm, feeling the hot temperature of her palm, Su Yue relaxed slightly, and after listening to the footsteps above gradually subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief, and felt Zhou Jingchen's hand holding her and gradually walked up, I have to say that Su Yue has lived here for a while, and she has never found a secret passage.

Smoothly turned a direction along the dark passage, and saw a faint glimmer of light ahead, so he pushed open the secret door and went out smoothly, only to find that the house where Su Rili lived was also connected to several places next to it. Now it is already in the other direction, an inconspicuous ordinary peasant carriage is waiting here, and the person pulling the cart looks like a herdsman from Hachidi.
It was not yet dawn, and the calm that had been broken by the desert not long ago had recovered a lot, and now the market had begun to sparse out with people, and the carriage was slowly moving.
"Yue'er, you seem to be nervous?" Zhou Jingchen couldn't help but smile when he saw Su Yue's serious face. He shook her palm again.
"Your Highness, I'm just worried, I don't know if the King of Youyou has lured Cang Mo away." Su Yue didn't have any sense of ease in her heart, maybe it was the changes she had suffered, and she couldn't let go of her heart.
"This Youwang is really good in this regard, I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about what is in the hands of the Youwang?" Zhou Jingchen frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused, he was smart and refused to respond to this thing head-on.
When Su Yue saw Zhou Jingchen say this, her mind suddenly flashed, "Your Highness, I once saw a picture in Cang Mo's study, and before I picked it up to watch it, I was reprimanded by Cang Mo, I don't know if the King of You is this thing?" ”
"Really? What kind of drawing is it? There was a hint of expectation in the prince's eyes, and he asked with interest.
"I also glanced at it in a hurry, but it looked like a weapon or something." Su Yue carefully recalled with her memory and blurted out.
"Oh, that's it, what does Yue'er remember what it looks like? Can you draw it again? The prince was naturally pleased, if he could know what was in the other party's hands, it would not be difficult to find something to restrain in the future.
"Su Yue is willing to try her best, and now I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to stay by my side, and it is good to return to the Xuan Dynasty." Su Yue said meaningfully, and Zhou Jingchen naturally praised it.
I don't know if it's the Youwang method, I walked safely all the way, and in the afternoon it changed to the border of Hachi.
The prince and Su Yue also got out of the carriage and came to a farmhouse hut, and as soon as they walked in, several herdsmen dressed as Hachi knelt down and greeted the prince.
Zhou Jingchen waved his hand and asked, "Is the terrain clear?" How's the preparation? ”
One of the people said with a handrail, "Your Highness, Weichen is ready, I took advantage of the situation yesterday to explore the terrain, Your Highness, please take a look!" After speaking, he took out a scroll in his arms, which was the junction between the Hachi tribe and the Xuan Dynasty, and it was marked with various notes, which showed that this person had put a lot of effort into it.
"It's so good, just open up a secret passage like this, no need to be refined, just allow one person to pass through, and strive to complete it as soon as possible, just stay away from these water sources." Zhou Jingchen took a closer look at the scroll, and was naturally extremely satisfied, and it was also impossible for him to take precautions, not only bringing people who were proficient in the topography of the five elements, but also craftsmen who dug through the secret passages, and more people from the Xuan Dynasty who were familiar with Hachi folk customs.
In this way, Zhou Jingchen ordered a group of people to quickly start opening a secret passage in the house, although the Xuan Dynasty is not far here, but it takes a lot of time, and the excavated soil needs to be treated, and the project will be slow based on these alone.
Su Yue saw that Zhou Jingchen's face was the same, but her eyes were always a little anxious. Now His Royal Highness has a limited number of subordinates, so naturally he can't get up quickly, but King Youwang himself knows it, and there are dozens of people in his hands, if he rushes to work together, he will dig all of them in two days, but he hasn't seen him appear for a long time, and he doesn't know what tricks to play.
It wasn't until the evening that Xuan Ying came to report, "Your Highness, King You, and others, your subordinates have seen the border with their own eyes, and now they have returned to the Xuan Dynasty." ”
"Hmph, Lone knows that he has so many means, it seems that Lone has been played by him once." Zhou Jingchen couldn't see much anger, after he returned to the imperial city from Yizhou, this Youwang seemed to be mediocre, but he inadvertently showed his dew, which made his father impressed him. This time, he was also assigned to come to Hachi, this kind of mental and resourceful is disguised on weekdays, but it is much trickier than King Yi, this kind of person is a real opponent.
"It's just strange that Hachi has already blocked the border, why did he and his group leave the country without anyone stopping them?" Su Yue couldn't help but wonder.
"It's really the cleverness of the Youwang, it's nothing more than that he is involved with an important force in Hachi, so he dares to go out so openly." Zhou Jingchen sneered. He also instructed Xuan Ying, "Gather everyone back, leave only a few scouts and pursuers, and all the rest help open the tunnel." ”
Su Yue saw Xuanying leaving, so she said, "I'm afraid that King Youwang will go back first, will it have any impact on His Highness?" ”
The prince did not want to tell him what was in distress at the moment, so he relieved, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about these things. We only need to return to the Xuan Dynasty safely, and all the situation will be clear. It's useless to guess too much now. ”
Su Yue saw that it was getting late, and it seemed that she would not rest tonight. I rested on my bed for a few hours.
Sure enough, the next day, the tunnel was halfway open, and the prince ordered the group to enter the tunnel. When they reached the depths of the tunnel, they buried the earth at the mouth of the passage, leaving a large gap to circulate the air, and blocked the original passage while digging.
The underground air was already thin, Su Yue was pregnant, and she didn't rest last night, there was already a pain in her stomach, her face became more and more pale, and she always felt that it seemed to be a little difficult to breathe, and the prince also noticed her abnormality, "Yue'er, hold on for a while, and you will soon be able to return to the Xuan Dynasty." ”
Su Yue smiled in return, "Your Highness, I'm fine, maybe it's because I didn't have a good rest last night." It's okay for a while. Silently touched his stomach, relaxed his emotions, pinched his arm a few times, and the intense pain hit him, only to stop the dizziness a little.
"Quick, everybody, speed up the process." The prince commanded.
I don't know how many hours later, Su Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and she couldn't speak because of the stomachache, so she called slowly, "Your Highness." "The man has fainted.
Zhou Jingchen realized that something was wrong, and picked up Su Yue, "How about it, there is no border with the Xuan Dynasty." He asked anxiously.
"Rong Chen calculates, Your Highness wait a minute." The person at the head couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat frequently, and if he went out at this time, if he hadn't left the country, he would really be in the mouth of a sheep.
"Don't calculate, get out, right away." The prince ordered, and everyone did not dare to disobey, and life and death were left to fate.
Everyone immediately dug up the passage, and a huge light was revealed, and the prince didn't care about it, and hugged Su Yue and went directly out of the dark passage.
Sure enough, rows of weapons were aimed at everyone, "Don't retreat yet, I don't even know Lonely!" Zhou Jingchen didn't have the heart to explain a lot, and the leading general took a closer look, although it was an alien costume, it was indeed a good prince, so he panicked and knelt down to ask for guilt.
