"Hey!" Leng Qiu had just walked a few steps when Yu Yao suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

Leng Qiu stopped and turned to look at Yu Yao, "What else do you command?" ”

"I'll go with you, take a shortcut!"

"Uh......" Leng Qiu still didn't know what Yu Yao meant.

I had to stop and wait for her.

Yu Yao remembered the lake below the cliff of the back mountain, and decided to give it a try to see where this waterway led to Cangzhou City.

Yu Yao got two slender bamboos with an empty middle and handed one to Leng Qiu.

Two more iron grappling hooks were prepared and one was given to Leng Qiu.

Leng Qiu took what she handed over in confusion.

Yu Yao was ready to stop and led Leng Qiu to the back mountain.

Since the cave leading to the back of the cliff had been blocked, Yu Yao took Leng Qiu directly to the top of the cliff and found a strong place to fix the iron claw hook.

He slowly descended the rope he carried on the iron claw hook to the bottom of the cliff, and when he reached the surface of the lake, he released the rope and jumped into the lake.

Leng Qiu followed Yu Yao to do the same action, and when she arrived at the lake, she felt how well prepared Yu Yao was.

The lake is very deep, and the slender hollow bamboo is just right to put it near your mouth for ventilation.

Yu Yao swam desperately in the direction of Cangzhou City, and in less than half an hour, she felt that the lake had become much shallower, and she could show her head when she was standing.

Since it was summer, after being in the water for so long, Yu Yao didn't feel cold, but felt very cool and comfortable.

After swimming for more than half an hour, I could vaguely see the shore.

At this time, the sky was not completely dark, and the sunset was still struggling to make the last efforts to shine.

At this time, Yu Yao was standing in the water, and the lake was only as deep as her chin.

Swim and swim, and finally swim to the shore.

On the other side of the shore was a hill, and Yu Yao stood on the shore and looked around to see if there was a hole or something.

It was found that within a hundred steps of the lakeshore, there was a stone monument.

Yu Yao climbed up the hill and walked towards the stone monument.

There was another horizontal stele under the stele, and Yu Yao beckoned to Leng Qiu, who was following behind.

Leng Qiu immediately quickened his pace and ran over, and Yu Yao motioned for him to help move the stone tablet away.

When they removed the stone tablet that was horizontal, they found a hole.

Yu Yao didn't hesitate to get in.

Leng Qiu wanted to stop it too late, so he had to follow in.

When I got to the cave, I didn't go far and suddenly realized that it was an artificial tunnel, and the inside was very smooth.

Yu Yao cautiously groped her way forward, she was sure that Qin Ruoxi had reached Nighthawk Mountain through this tunnel before.

About a quarter of an hour later, I heard someone talking on the other side of the tunnel, and the voice was not very clear.

After walking for another quarter of an hour or so, the voice on the other side of the tunnel became much clearer.

"Why did you think this good man was killed at home? Woowoo woo ......"

"The thieves must have come in through this tunnel!"

"But this tunnel is only known to the people of our Qin Mansion, and even few of us in the Qin Mansion know about it, how can outsiders know about it?"

"I heard the maid say that the woman who came from her brother that night looked a little like Li Yuyao, do you think she killed her brother after she woke up?"

"But the maids were already stunned at that time, who do you think would have stunned them? It should be the murderer! ”

There were several voices on the other side of the tunnel, and they should be discussing Qin Bin's death together.

Could it be that the exit at the other end of the tunnel is in the Qin Mansion.

Thinking of this, Yu Yao couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, she and Leng Qiu went up now, wouldn't they be throwing themselves into the net.

So he stopped and whispered to Leng Qiu, "Wait and go up again!" ”

Leng Qiu understood and stopped.

There was no sound on the other end of the tunnel.

Yu Yao didn't know what time it was outside, and it was stuffy and uncomfortable inside the tunnel.

I had to go forward.

At the end, I found a row of stone steps going up.

Yu Yao tiptoed onto the stone steps, and Leng Qiu followed closely.

When I walked to the entrance of the cave, I found an iron door, which was apparently locked from the outside.

What can I do?

I finally got here, and when I got to the last level, I got stuck.

Leng Qiu noticed the look of disappointment on Yu Yao's face and felt that there was no hope.

Yu Yao motioned for him to go down, but Leng Qiu didn't know what he meant, so he retreated down the steps into the tunnel.

Yu Yao sat crookedly on the wall of the tunnel, her soul out of her body, floating out to see what was going on outside.

The iron gate at the mouth of the tunnel looked like a small door that opened sideways inside the courtyard wall, and it was locked from the outside.

It looked like a backyard, with a stone table in the yard with stone benches, leftover pastries, and tea cups that hadn't had time to clean up.

Apparently someone had just gathered here, but now it was empty.

But how do you open this lock?

Yu Yao took a closer look at this lock, if she was really outside, it would really not be a difficult task, and she could open it with the hairpin on her head.

But now that I only have my soul squeezed out, there is really no way to get this lock.

Yu Yao returned to the tunnel and saw Leng Qiuzheng staring at her with frowning eyebrows.

He must have thought that his heart was so big that he could still sleep at this time.

Yu Yao returned to her physical body, woke up, leaned close to his ear, and told him about the situation outside.

Leng Qiu looked at her in disbelief, which clearly meant "How can you see what it's like outside?" ”

Yu Yao shook her head, sighed lightly, and didn't know how to explain it to him, so she simply ignored him, believing it or not.

After being silent for a while, Leng Qiu suddenly asked, "Where is that lock?" ”

Yu Yao described the location to him.

Leng Qiu walked up the steps, in front of the iron door, held his breath, and suddenly exerted his hands towards the position where the lock was, only to hear a "click", as if the lock had been shaken open.

Leng Qiu tried to push the door with his hand, and it really opened.

So he waved his hand at Yu Yao, and Yu Yao immediately got up and followed.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the cave, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the iron door slammed shut.

The two tried to climb over the wall, but they were covered by a large net falling from the sky.

Immediately after that, they were hoisted again, and the two were suspended in mid-air.

In this soft net, the two of them became more and more embarrassed.

"Hahahaha...... Who should I be? It turned out to be the crown princess who left the country, a good princess didn't do it, and came to be a thief? Oh~ Maybe it was a tryst with my lover and was forced to flee here......"

It was the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion who spoke, Qin Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, you misunderstood, I just want to take the small road to come to Cangzhou quickly, and I want to meet King Ula as soon as possible, oh~ By the way, this is his secret guard."

"Don't quibble with me, my brother's death, I suspect it has nothing to do with you!"

"Ruoxi, don't act willfully, this is really King Ula's personal guard, if you don't believe it, you can ask King Ula."

"Good! Let's find out the truth of the matter

Before, let's grieve the princess first! ”

Ruoxi waved her hand, and immediately a family member came over and put the two of them down and grabbed them.
