After the two finished talking, Fengxi walked in with Beiming at the door.

There is another person on Beiming's side, and he is the commander of the right battalion, Lord Fang.

Lord Fang held a disc book in his hand, on which was written the list of city gate guards for the fifteenth day before and after.

Gu Qingyan asked Beiming: "Is it right?" ”

Beiming said: "Back to Your Highness, by the way, the same people will be on duty the day after tomorrow." ”

Gu Qingyan looked at King Yu, she couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, and she had to come forward with King Yu.

"Fang Yu."

"The minister is here."

"Early tomorrow morning, you will personally lead people, wait for the rabbit at the city gate, find out the people who collude with the black market, immediately take them into custody, and take over the left camp of the guard."

"Yes."

Gu Qingyan smiled knowingly, she seemed to have unintentionally helped King Yu complete an important thing, no, not likely, it was true.

After speaking, after arranging things, King Yu even asked Gonggong Bu to bring the meal list prepared in the dining room tomorrow.

Gu Qingyan said angrily: "The poisoning method of food is too troublesome, I can toss it once." ”

Then he sent his father-in-law back.

Chen Gonggong came back from his work and replied that King Yu had notified all the imperial doctors to ensure that nothing went wrong, and Gu Qingyan was relieved to say that he was going back to sleep.

"You're not staying in Changle Palace tonight?" Yuwang asked.

Gu Qingyan shook his head: "I can't sleep well, I have to blow the Tranquility Comedy in Beiming, and you should feel haunted in this palace again." ”

The words fell, Gu Qingyan walked out of the door, the door of the hall opened, standing under the corridor, Gu Qingyan looked up, there was a full moon in front of him, and there was a shining Chang Geng star on the side.

"Gone." Gu Qingyan didn't say anything else, turned his back and waved his hand at King Yu, and then disappeared into the night sky.

King Yu looked at the direction in which Gu Qingyan disappeared and looked at the vermilion city wall not far away.

"She really shouldn't be trapped."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the dormitory, and this night passed in a little quiet.

Gu Qingyan returned to the palace courtyard, the courtyard was very quiet, Xu Shaolin took Dongxin and them out to run errands.

Their business is not difficult, but it is a little time-consuming, after all, it is not possible to find the entrance to the canyon from the wooded mountainside, just by looking at it.

Dong Ling is relatively good at topography and geography, leading the way with a small map in front of his head, and within two hours, he really found a similar place.

"Valley master, there is a door here."

Dong Ling hung on the cliff wall, looking at a place not far away that looked like the entrance of a cave.

"Don't worry, try it in little by little, you don't have to go in completely."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Dong Ling leaned forward, stepped on the stone at the entrance of the cave, and when he stood firm, he untied the rope on his body.

The entrance to the cave was very dark, Dong Ling opened the fire fold, looked around, and touched a moss at the entrance of the cave, the same smell of the moss he touched last night, and he was a little more sure in his heart.

I bent over and took a few steps inside, and found that the way was blocked by a large rock in front of me.

After groping around with his hand and short knife, and didn't find any hidden mechanism, Dong Ling retreated and shook his head at Xu Shaolin.

"Valley Lord, this place doesn't look like an entrance."

"Well, come out."

Xu Shaolin looked around, wrinkling his eyebrows and pondering, this canyon was not like what they had imagined at the beginning, everything did not exist on the surface.

To get into the canyon, you'll have to keep looking for the entrance.

"Did you hear anything else when you went in or out, like the mechanism moving away?"

Xu Shaolin asked Dong Ling.

Dong Ling shook his head, although they were blindfolded, their other senses could still perceive it.

"And what about the ground under your feet when you walk?"

Being asked by Xu Shaolin, Dong Ling seemed to be inspired, thought for a while, looked up and said, "Like wood." ”

Xu Shaolin listened and looked at the top of the cliff: "Let's go up." Let's see what progress Dong Xin and Holly have made. ”

"Yes." Dong Ling said as he turned around, but made a mark in the hidden position at the entrance of the cave.

It happened that Xu Shaolin saw this scene and nodded secretly in his heart.

Gu Qingyan is a big personality, she may not care about some things, but she has trained her subordinates to be careful, perhaps, this is complementary.

When the two returned to the mountain, Xu Shaolin saw Dong Xin trotting over.

"Valley Lord, we have discovered the Heavenly Ladder Plank Road."

Xu Shaolin's eyes lit up, and he followed Dong Xin to the side of the ladder plank road he said.

The ladder plank road is very secret, on the shady side of the mountain, surrounded by several small mountain bags, are covered by thick vegetation, weeds, branches are rampant, and from time to time you can hear the sound of warnings from animals.

This yin side and the yang side they were on were two completely different faces.

Moreover, this place is extremely secretive, and the ladder plank road is not built between two mountains, but along the mountain under their feet, winding and hanging on the cliff wall.

If they stand up straight and look down, they can't see anything but the abyss between the two mountains and hear the sound of the river flowing down the abyss.

As soon as Dong Ling wanted to lean over to take a look, he was immediately stopped by Holly.

"There are people living on the cliffs, be careful to be discovered."

After speaking, Holly also looked at Xu Shaolin, and during the time he followed Xu Shaolin, his observation and caution improved a lot.

He was the first to discover the strangeness of this place, and the vigilance from his heart also prevented him from being easily discovered when he went down to test it just now.

But even so, they still have to think of a foolproof way to go on safely.

The four of them found a place, and Xu Shaolin asked Holly to roughly talk about the following situation.

"Starting from the position of three feet and one foot down the rock wall, there is a ladder plank road, and the plank road seems to extend from the mountain under our feet..."

As she spoke, Holly lit a twig from the ground and drew it.

He and Dong Xin found this place because when they were exploring the path, they found a figure and hurriedly walked this way, and the two of them knew that there was something abnormal, so they followed and came, but as soon as they chased this cliff, the person disappeared inexplicably.

The two of them had good ears, and they heard the sound of the ropes rubbing on the cliff, so they couldn't help but startle the snake, and first hidden, and when the voice calmed down, Holly felt that he should let Dongxin let the wind go down and take a look by himself.

In this exploration, he had to marvel, firstly, that there was too much magnificence in the formation of nature, and secondly, he sighed at how miraculous the people who lived here were.

In addition to the suspended ladder plank road on the cliff wall, there are houses built on the cliff wall every three zhang or more, which are continuous together, and actually occupy a large part of the cliff, and the holly is roughly counted, and there are more than 20 households in large and small units.

"The boardwalk is very narrow, and at most two people walk side by side." Holly said, and Dong Ling nodded silently.

"I found a family, and I could see that there were traces of life, judging from the figures, they were dressed like ordinary people, but their accents were not very similar to Nanwan people." Holly said.

Xu Shaolin asked him if he could learn a few words, and Holly nodded, learning the tone of the people in his memory, and said a few words.

Xu Shaolin frowned tightly at first, identifying what dialect it was, until Holly stumbled and finished a whole sentence, Xu Shaolin had a slight aftertaste, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes were slightly worried and surprised.

"Valley Lord..."Holly saw Xu Shaolin's expression change and asked.

Xu Shaolin shook his head: "I'll go down with you again, Dong Xin and Dong Ling are guarding it." ”

"Yes."

In response, Dong Xin began to tie a rope to Holly, Xu Shaolin was sure that he didn't need it.

pondered for a moment, and said to Holly: "Where did you hear the friction sound, you can go down from there and look at the traces of friction..."

Xu Shaolin explained that according to what Holly just said, he has a judgment that the entrance to the so-called black market is not on the surface, but through some kind of mechanism.

This also means that they have no one to lead them today, and there is no way to go in directly.

But outside of this black market, there is another inhabited cliff village, so there should be a great connection between them.

He asked Holly to find out where the grinding sound was coming from, to determine how the people had returned to the mountain beyond the boardwalk, and to prepare for their spying tomorrow.

And he himself decided to go to the plank road to verify an idea in his heart.

After a little preparation, Holly jumped with Xu Shaolin, and then turned around and climbed onto the cliff.

Looking around, it was still calm, and Holly followed the cliff to the west to investigate.

Xu Shaolin came to the plank road softly, and on his side was a family with bright lights.

The family closed the window, and the candle flame reflected the shadows, as if they were sewing something.

Xu Shaolin walked under its window with a cat, leaning against the cliff wall to avoid being discovered.

After taking a few steps forward, I saw a step extending downward, I don't know if it was very loose in itself, or because it was aging, not to mention that people stood up, even if a gust of wind blew, it could make a creaking sound.

Xu Shaolin looked at it, then jumped lightly and turned over directly down the steps.

Under the steps is a natural platform born from the cliff, which can accommodate ten families, after Xu Shaolin lands smoothly, there is no need to walk around against the cliff, as long as he is fast, these individuals will not be able to find him.

Xu Shaolin turned around, and found some haystacks outside each house, and Xu Shaolin always had a fan in his hand, which he also carried with him at this time.

He used a fan to send it to those haystacks, and when he touched the hard things inside, Xu Shaolin used the fan to pick open the haystacks and saw the weapons placed inside.

These weapons are extremely distinctive, not only for the exterior decoration, but also because of their shape.

Xu Shaolin's eyes narrowed, and he felt more and more that the things in this had become bigger.

Now at night, it is pitch black all around the cliff except for the lights in the house, so these people do not go out and walk around, but only in their own homes.

Xu Shaolin found a room where people moved frequently, poked open the window paper and peeked in.

A glimpse of a figure hanging clothes, which made Xu Shaolin see the characteristics of their clothes, the outside is the regular clothes that can be seen everywhere in Nanwan, but there are different inside, animal skin clothes, decorative belts with dog teeth or wolf teeth, and leather boots that Nanwan men rarely wear....

The people inside seemed to be talking to someone, and the Nanwan language was mixed with their mother tongue.

Xu Shaolin understood.
