- After saying what she said just now, Yan Xingzhi didn't say anything more. He also knew that Liao Shi must be carrying all kinds of potions on his body, which was extremely weird, and it was extremely easy to put him down. But he still didn't say something similar to a warning to Liao Shi in advance because of this. He just looked at Liao Shi with a flat gaze, waiting for his decision.

Liao Shi looked at Yan Xingzhi, who was looking at him with such a gaze, and the not-so-bright idea in his heart was repeated several times. After a while, Liao Shi did not take out the bottle of the drug he had played extremely smoothly with, but said unusually calmly: "The road I am going to take next is more rugged than in the Great Wind Ridge, and there are still many unknown dangers, do you still want to follow?" If Yan Guang knew, could he really rest assured? ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was already equivalent to him giving in.

Yan Xingzhi also realized this, and immediately said: "Since Grandpa promised to send me to you, he must know where you are going to go." And myself, I have no regrets about this trip. ”

"Well, let's bet on providence." Liao Shi nodded, and then said: "At the next stop, if the snow silkworm in my arms hatches, I will take you with me, otherwise, that is the place where we are separated." ”

Yan Xingzhi nodded sincerely: "I obey." ”

……

In the open space between the mounds, the Yan family caravan waited in place for more than an hour after tidying up the carriage and goods, and finally waited for the passerby they had contacted before leaving.

On the official road, from far to near, soon came twelve horsemen. The twelve were all dressed in ordinary attire and did not carry sharp weapons with them. Halfway to the official road, he turned around and walked towards the Yan caravan.

There is no need for an eye-catching uniform, no need for a token that can prove his identity, Yan Yu, who was already waiting a little anxious, just looked at the two people who were leading the group, that is, he knew the other party's intention.

The twelve horsemen who were close to the Yan family's caravan were actually the two groups of people led by Lin Shan's seclusion in the west. However, the Yan family caravan was communicating with them, and they agreed to pick up people in this place and split the way, and the two groups of people did not all arrive, but the twelve horsemen who left the group were really the elites in the group. Led by a man and a woman. They are the group leader Luo Qing. and Yanagi, the leader of the second group.

However, because the Yan family reminded them in the letter, the only people they wanted to pick up were the second group of old people Qiao Cui, Liu Sheng's younger brother Lu Sheng. There are also members of four groups. But only the forest fir is missing. Luo Qing and Liu Sheng couldn't help but be full of doubts and worries.

The matter of Kyoto, after only one night, reached the second group stationed in the western region. At that time, the group was almost chaotic. Fortunately, after about half a month, the second group received another express letter about this matter, and the situation of the second group's confusion calmed down a little.

But if these two groups of people really feel at ease, they can only see with their own eyes that the forest is unharmed. Therefore, the express letter that the two groups received late last night gathered more than a dozen important people in the two groups all night to discuss for several hours, and finally only a few people were left in the group, responsible for presiding over the daily affairs of the group in the past few days, and most of the elites went out with the two team leaders.

At the beginning of the letter, the time was actually calculated, and after the second group received the letter, they had to send someone to arrive on time immediately. But because it took more than two hours for the council in the group, the arrival time would inevitably be delayed, but the twelve horsemen of these two combinations only made the Yan family caravan wait for more than an hour, and the reason for this was only known by these twelve people themselves.

Yan Yu didn't know what the real reason for the twelve horsemen was late, the letter was sent by the Yan family's channel, in fact, it was just borrowed from his family's convenient business affairs, and the content of the letter was not from Yan Yu's hand, but someone else's arrangement. At first, Yan Yu thought that it was because of the sudden change in the sky, and these people chose the wrong time when they set off.

But when the twelve horsemen approached, he couldn't help but wonder if these people were in trouble on the road.

Although their Yan family knew what these dozen or so people were doing, others didn't know that if these dozen or so people galloped like this and crossed the two capitals to come here, it would be easy to arouse doubts about the local military defense.

However, Yan Yu quickly thought of the real leader of this passer-by, the subordinates brought out by that person, and his style should not be too careless. So he shook his head secretly, calmed down and didn't think much about it, and walked towards the twelve.

The express letter stated the agreed time for this trip to pick up people, so after receiving the letter, the team leader Liu Sheng knew very well that if he did not set off immediately, it would be equivalent to missing the hour, which was in the discipline of the second group, if he violated, the punishment would be very severe.

Just looking at the handwriting on the letter, although it was a little messy and the strokes were not very steady, Yanagi felt familiar just by looking at it. Because of the dispatch of the mission, the second group received a lot of letters written by Lin Shan, although those letters have been burned after reading, but the pattern of the traces of the text has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the readers.

Because of the familiar handwriting in that letter, Liu Sheng judged that Lin Shan was very likely to be on the list of the Yan family and his party, so she knew that her side of the trip could not be delayed at all, but it still took half an hour to summon people, and it took more than an hour to assemble. But that letter was an order, and the urgency of time was also understood by Liu Sheng, so after the twelve people set off, they took a shortcut and did not spend the slightest time on crossing the city defense.

It is said that it is a shortcut, but in fact, it is only reflected in the characteristics of no obstacles, because there are no people, no water sources, and even no paths along the way. The twelve men ran wildly for four hours in a row, and when they arrived at the place specified in the letter, they were all covered in dust and dusty. The horses under the seat were also panting and snorting.

After a brief greeting, Yan Yu carefully noticed that the mounts of these people were all wearing down, so he immediately sent the horse breeding employees in his caravan to come forward for a simple inspection and care.

After that, Yan Yu was about to take this group of people to meet the people they were going to pick up, but after walking a few steps, Yan Yu hesitated to stop, looked back at the twelve people who were covered in dust, and hesitated: "The people you want to pick up all have relatively strict external injuries on their bodies. ”

When this group of people heard this, they immediately understood, and consciously left ten people to wait in place. Only the two team leaders continued to follow Yan Yu, but the two of them had already taken off the dusty clothes they were wearing on the outside, and the clothes inside would naturally be cleaner.

After Yan Yu led the two of them to approach the three vans in the middle of the caravan, he himself took a few steps back, and he did not participate in the next meeting or conversation of this passer-by, and he did not want to interfere.

Judging from the direction from which Yan Yu and his party came, the first of the three vans was the one in which Lu Sheng and Qiao Cui were riding.

Luo Qing opened the curtain and saw his old acquaintance Qiao Cui. The mood is inevitably a little complicated. It's been since they last met. It didn't take long. Luo Qing followed Lin Shan's order and dragged a few carts of books to the Kejia iron shop for incineration, where he met Qiao Cui, and he realized that he had found the second group of old people for a long time without success. It turned out that he had been hiding in the Kejia iron shop. I have been a woodcutter for more than ten years.

See each other. Originally, there was a lot to say, but then Lu Sheng's sudden appearance disrupted the order of steps of several things. On the day of the first meeting. Luo Qing originally had the intention of persuading Qiao Cui to return to the group, but because of Lu Sheng's appearance, he changed his mind.

……

……

The enclosed underground corridor is dark and damp, and strangely, does not give the feeling of suffocation and oppression.

Mo Ye was still a little anxious at first, after the vent they came in was closed, the fresh air in the underground corridor would be consumed faster by the burning torches, and even if her belief in survival was firm, she would not be able to help but die.

To do this, she asked the rest of the people to extinguish the torches and take out the fire folds that she had brought with her.

This is the fire fold developed by the Ministry of Works Zuo Shilang in his spare time, after ignition is not as bright as the kind of straw paper fire fold sold on the market, but the bean-sized flame can last close to an hour, and is not afraid of the humid environment, it seems to be an auxiliary tool specially equipped for underground fortifications. Although the two are good at the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, there is no obstacle to the two of them making friends and cooperating tacitly, and he has given Lin Shan a lot of things.

When Mo Ye left Beijing, Lin Shan prepared a comprehensive range of tools for her, and she was equipped with thirty of them at a time.

In fact, Lin Shan guessed that Mo Ye would distribute this valuable thing to his subordinates, so he brought her so much. Sure enough, when Mo Ye had not left Beijing yet, when she went to Wulitun to order troops, she sent all the items she thought should be sent.

At this time, she was trapped under the Liuli Village, there were a total of four people, and the illuminable objects carried by all of them could last for about two days and two nights. After groping along the underground corridor for an hour, Mo Ye made marks along the way, and then concluded that this place seemed strange, but in fact, this underground corridor did not occupy a large position, and even if he wanted to install a mechanism, the complicated journey would be limited.

She was confident that if she was given another day, she would be able to find a breakthrough.

The only uncertain risk factor is the flow of air. Don't suffocate inside before she can find a way out.

However, her anxiety was clearly a miscalculation, and after her emotions calmed down, she discovered the problem.

Yan Yu is a businessman, a young businessman who frequents warehouses where goods are hoarded most often, and is likely to be accompanied by a number of long-term workers who are responsible for carrying them. Therefore, these places where he goes in and out may be very tight for ordinary people, but they cannot be as tight as the tomb of an eternal coffin.

A place that can be used by many people at the same time cannot be built too mysterious, otherwise it will be very troublesome if a few people are lost in it.

And Yan Yu may have hoarded the goods here, and it is unlikely that they are as precious as gold, silver and jewelry, so there is no need to repair the warehouse to death.

When he first came down, these thoughts turned around a few times in Mo Ye's mind, and if he could repair the warehouse underground, what Yan Yu hoarded in it would not be as simple as hemp rice. However, after being trapped underground for a few hours, Mo Ye had already put away his initial curiosity, and people really couldn't burn their curiosity in part of the venue! Although Yan Yu's whereabouts are full of suspicions, he can't spend his life and death with him.

One qiē, wait until you go up first.

The fire folds were lit one after another, and there was no sign of extinguishing them, and after walking for so long, people did not feel tightness in their chests, and Mo Ye gradually relaxed his heart. This underground corridor, sure enough, had a hidden vent, which gave her a sigh of relief, ruling out the potential threat of being suffocated underground.

But the problems that must be faced remain serious.

They could light torches and light them without fear, and the dry food they carried with them was enough to eat for three days, and they had five days to find a way out.

But after five days, if they can't go out, hunger, thirst, and darkness will come up together, like three chains, and they will die here.

The threat of air blockage had been eliminated, and Mo Ye called his subordinates to put away the fire fold and light the torch again. To find a way out, you must have a clear vision.

Two days passed.

Mo Ye calculated according to the marks she had made along the way, she had been in this underground corridor no less than a hundred times, which was close to a square underground corridor, and she had touched and knocked every inch on the four walls, but the pattern of the underground corridor had not changed at all. It is as if this walkway is not dug by hand, it is natural, and there is no way out.

If Mo Ye hadn't personally walked down from the ground and watched Yan Yu and his party of more than a dozen people walk up from the ground, the long-term confined environment might really make her hallucinate similarly.

However, staying in a closed space for a long time will itself cause a lot of damage to people's willpower, and the Yamen of the Criminal Department has also developed a set of interrogation regulations in this regard, which is sometimes more effective than direct execution, which can be seen. At this moment, Mo Ye's eyes were already itchy, his throat was on fire, his neck was stiff, and his hands and feet were heavy...... After two days of walking and two days of searching, she really wanted to sit down and sleep.

Just then, she suddenly heard a muffled sound behind her.

She suddenly became agitated, and her mind cleared up, and when she looked back, she saw that it was Sorghum who was walking at the end of the road, sitting on the ground. He lowered his head slightly, rubbing his temples on either side of his forehead with both hands, as if he was suffering from a headache.

"Xiao Gao." Mo Ye subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Sorghum still held his head in his hands, and only whispered in a low voice: "After so many turns, I am dizzy." ”

Isn't she going round and round all the time? Even the blind sorghum felt it.

But what he felt seemed to be a little different from what she felt.

Mo Ye, who was aware of this, widened his eyes slightly, trying to catch the little light in his mind: what kind of difference is it?

Gu Ya, who was closest to Mo Ye behind her, noticed that the expression on her face was different, but she didn't hear her voice for a long time, and was a little worried that she would damage herself if her mind was condensed for a long time, and finally spoke softly: "Miss Mo, don't you think we have been walking in circles all along?" ”…… (To be continued......)
