The problem of family affection is gone for the time being, but other problems still cannot be ignored, especially the catastrophe caused by Ji Ya. After several days of investigation, Wu Maheng found that although there are actually many villages in this place, as Ji Ya described, there are really few big persimmon trees at the entrance of the village, and then he checked the geographical location, and there is only one suspicious target left, this one, just waiting for Ji Ya to identify.

Ji Ya is a smart person, she knows that hypocrisy has to be timed, this is not Nanwu, a group of foreigners around her are eyeing her, and the relatives around her will not feel very sorry for her, so when Wu Maheng sent someone to invite her, she got into the carriage without saying a word.

But, not here!

"Ji Ya, are you sure?" Ji Tang arrived one step ahead of her, and had already seen the entire village roughly, very ordinary, he thought it was some secret, but he never thought that it was completely wrong.

"Brother Prince, I'm sure." Ji Ya looked at the persimmon tree at the entrance of the village again, "I have lived in that place for a long time, even if the people around me change, the layout of the house will not change." What's more, this persimmon tree is nowhere near as big as that one! ”

Just isn't this one big enough?

Wu Ma Heng was very helpless, so to speak, the others were even more impossible, because this was the biggest one he found, no matter how big it was, it might be wild.

"Wild?"

It turned out that Wu Ma Heng unconsciously said his thoughts, which also just reminded Ji Tang, he suddenly thought of a bold possibility, worthy of Wu Ma Heng, who had been with him for many years, just a look, he understood.

"Come on, search for it, and mark all the places with big persimmon trees nearby, especially those with large open spaces!"

As soon as these words came out, even Ji Ya also understood.

"How is that possible, those houses ...... How could it be ......"

Ji Tang is a direct person, so he doesn't care what Ji Ya is thinking, but sarcastically: "Third sister, I'm afraid the villages are built specifically for you, and the third sister has a lot of face." ”

Ji Ya's face was a little paler!

After all, the persimmon tree is one of the most critical features during the search in the past few days, and many people have noticed it. There are many stout wild persimmon trees in the vicinity, but there is only one place with enough open space in the vicinity.

When the group came to the marked place, Ji Ya recognized it at a glance, it was this persimmon tree, she was alone in a foreign country, when she was homesick, she would always come here to see, it was a certain distance from the village, but it was safe, the most suitable, but now......

There is no need to ask Ji Ya for verification, Ji Tang instantly understood, and Wu Ma Heng also consciously led people to search, but there is really nothing to search here, and you can see the end almost at a glance. On the surface, this is an ordinary open space, if there is anything special, it is so neat, so neat that there are few weeds.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we are too late, there is not even a single extra brick here!"

In fact, there is no need for Wu Ma Heng to report, Ji Tang has already thought of the result, but he still refuses to give up, "If you search carefully, there will always be clues." After speaking, he looked at Ji Ya again, "You have been back and forth for many days, do you remember the exit of the secret passage?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Ya reflexively turned her head!

Following Ji Ya's gaze, Ji Tang saw a seemingly ordinary pile of miscellaneous stones.

"There's just a big rock."

Oh! It turns out that the secret passage has also been destroyed!

Ji Tang took a few steps forward, Wu Ma Heng followed, and the two of them simply cleaned up the pile of miscellaneous stones with their own hands, and sure enough, they found that it was different. Although the ground is very flat, if you look closely, you can still see traces of artificial covering, Ji Tang glanced back, and Ji Ya nodded very affirmatively.

"Come on, send the third princess back." Ji Tang plans to dig up this secret passage, but obviously, this is a more troublesome matter, and it is not a matter of letting Ji Ya wait, there is nothing here, and there is no place to do if you want to rest. But I never thought about it, but Ji Ya didn't want to.

"I'll wait under the tree."

Seeing Ji Ya's resolute attitude, Ji Tang didn't say much, and his subordinates quickly brought tools and began to dig. There was nothing iconic here, and the secret passage was deliberately filled, and it was really troublesome to know the direction by digging, the scope and depth were uncertain.

When he came to a foreign country, except for the secret guard, Ji Tang didn't bring anyone at all, this time Wu Ma Heng brought it, but it wasn't much, so he wouldn't let the dark guard come out to do this, so Ji Tang simply mixed with the people and did this work in two shifts.

Not far away, when Ji Ya saw Ji Tang doing it himself, there was no other expression on her face except shock. She still remembered that her father had told her that as a princess, if she could not do it herself, she didn't need to do it herself, otherwise what would she want those subordinates to do. This sentence had a deep impact on Ji Ya, so much so that she didn't use chopsticks when she ate when she was a child, and it was a certain time when the empress protested directly to the emperor that she began to eat by herself, but this was only limited to when there were outsiders.

A few people had just had lunch when they went out, but it was already dark at this time, and in the process, someone brought water and food, and Ji Tang and a few people ate some briefly, and planned to continue digging.

"Third sister, let's go back early." Just when Ji Ya was napping, Ji Tang walked up to her, didn't do anything, sat directly on the ground, Ji Ya looked at herself, at least she still found someone to move a stone and lay a veil.

Seeing Ji Ya's movements, Ji Tang knew what she meant, and said lightly: "Third sister, don't dislike it, even if Ji Yan is here, she will be the same as me." After that, without waiting for Ji Ya to explain, he said directly: "It's already dark, we are really big today, we can only go all at once, the third sister should go back." ”

Ji Ya looked at it, the pit was already a little big, but she still hadn't dug the secret passage, and she didn't feel the need to wait, anyway, if she found anything, Ji Tang would send someone to call her.

Ji Ya nodded, got up and was about to leave, this is a very delicate position, the pit is too big, if Ji Ya wants to go back, she has to pass by the pit, but when she passed, there was a subordinate who thought that the light was not good, and suddenly blew up the fire fold, intending to light the torch.

At this moment, it seemed that something shook Ji Ya's eyes, she looked carefully at the pit, but she didn't see anything, she wanted people to check it, but when she turned around, she saw Ji Tang who was talking to Wu Ma Heng, and remembered his words again.

Second sister? Ji Ya pursed her lips and calmly descended the ramp.

Ji Tang originally turned his back to Ji Ya, but he didn't see this scene, Wu Ma Heng opposite him looked at it squarely, his expression was very surprised, seeing Wu Ma Heng's expression, Ji Tang naturally looked back.

When Ji Tang walked to the edge of the pit, Ji Ya had already found what she wanted, it was a small hand stove, which was also what Ji Ya liked to carry around the most, it was not cold at this time, Ji Ya just used it to fill some spices, and when she sold her jewelry, she also hesitated, but in the end she kept it, this hand stove was accidentally lost, but she never thought it was here.

Obviously, the hand stove fell to the ground inadvertently, the lid had been opened, and the spices were sprinkled everywhere, but this made Ji Tang instantly excited, and the secret passage was found!

Ji Tang immediately concentrated all his hands and dug near the hand stove, and sure enough, he didn't dig far to find the lid of the hand stove, which was already a little deformed, but it was definitely not stepped on by their people, it was just two small objects, but Ji Tang determined the direction of the secret passage and directly ordered the others to speed up.

"No matter what, it's impossible to block the entire secret passage." Ji Tang was very excited, and then thought of Ji Ya again: "Third sister, let's wait, I'm afraid it's not far away." ”

Sure enough, after digging in that direction for less than an hour, a swarthy hole appeared in front of me.

This is not the dirt secret passage as you imagined, and there are still some green bricks in the passage, but since it has been destroyed, it will also look scattered. Ji Ya was sure that this was where she had been, and that there was no fork in the road.

After Ji Ya's confirmation, Ji Tang sent someone to explore the way, Wu Ma Heng and the others were waiting outside, and after a long time, the pathfinder came back, only saying that the other end was also blocked.

Really!

Now that he has found out this, Ji Tang has already thought about the things behind, how can he only block one end? This is simply digging his own grave, but this is enough, he doesn't plan to check it slowly by himself, it's troublesome.

When he returned to the inn, Wu Maling was waiting at the door, and he didn't talk nonsense, just told Ji Tang that the Emperor of Great Qi had sent someone to investigate the matter, and it had arrived in the evening.

"That's very good." Ji Tang smiled, "Send someone to tell the government about the secret passage." ”

The next day, news suddenly spread in the city, saying that there were tomb robbers haunting, and a secret passage was dug up, and the tomb robbers were captured by the government, and this secret passage was also guarded by the government.

Another day, news came out of the city, saying that the secret passage had been opened, and the government had recruited hundreds of people, digging day and night, and finally found the end, where there were countless dead bodies, and it was not the grave of a rich man. Somehow, someone accidentally connected this incident with the mysterious forest, and for a while, the people in the city were panicked, and even worse, they directly said that behind the forest was Huangquan Road.

No matter what kind of wind and rain there is outside, Ji Tang and the others have completely ignored it, and there is only one thing they want to investigate, that is, who is the person who deceived Ji Ya.

With the arrival of a person, this matter finally has some eyebrows.

It was a very ordinary morning, Ji Ya was alone in a daze at the window, and suddenly a familiar voice came from the door-

Subordinates, see the three princesses!
