"Brother Chen, look at this rut print...... What a strange rut mark, why did it disappear immediately when it reached the wall?!" Chen Xuan looked at the front with some dementia and said to Chen Jiageng.

"Don't worry, let's observe and observe, I don't believe they are hiding in there and not coming out......"

"Then I'm afraid this won't work, if they don't say stay in it for a day or two, if they stay for ten days and a half months, then we ...... Are you going to wait here?!"

Chen Jiageng smiled: "According to common sense, it shouldn't be, if they really stay in it for so long, it means that there is a big problem." ”

"What's wrong with that?!"

"After staying for so long, there are only two possibilities, the first is that they may encounter accidents inside, and the second possibility is that there is something else in it. I heard that in the south of our Great Chu Empire, there is a den of rebels, and the imperial court has not been able to find the exact location. ”

"I know what you mean, do you mean this could be a den?!"

Hearing Chen Jiageng say this, Chen Xuan's ears were pricked up.

Although he hated the God Emperor and the current ignorant and incompetent emperor in his heart, he did not want the world to be in chaos out of the people's desire for peace and stability.

Because, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life with his wife, no one wants to live a chaotic life.

"Brother, I didn't say that, it was your own crankiness......"

"Then in that case, let's just wait for a while and see what ......" Chen Xuan's consciousness swept away, looked around at the surrounding terrain, and said to Chen Jiageng.

Chen Jiageng nodded and said, "I came to this village, it seems to be called Wangjia Village, right?!"

"Yes, that's what Ji Xiaofeng's map says......"

"When I first entered this village, I felt that this place was very strange, and if you look at the wooden houses at the entrance of the village, it is obvious that someone should have just been selling there...... But we can't even find a human hair, don't you think it's strange?!"

"It's really a little strange, even if you have the door, you can't see anyone inside, so where are these villagers?!

Chen Jiageng realized something, and said loudly: "I understand, maybe these villagers are living underground in order to escape the chaos......"

"What? do you mean...... There are villagers down here?!"

Chen Jiageng groaned for a moment, patted his thigh violently, and said to Chen Xuan: "Let's go, let's not stay here, even if we stay here, I'm afraid they will not be willing to come out until ten days and a half later." ”

Chen Xuan's mouth opened wide in shock, because he really couldn't keep up with this Chen Jiageng's thinking, "Big brother, can you slow down, I'm a congenital stupid person, so let's not guard them here, where can we find them?!"

"It's simple, let's just go to the entrance of the village and wait for them, I don't believe they won't come......"

"Are you so sure that they must pass through the entrance of the village when they enter and exit?!"

"Yes, I'm sure of that, because I've looked at the mountains and rivers here, and it's like a spindle, and the whole village is inside the spindle, and the entrance and exit of the village are at the two ends of the spindle......"

"Then you can't say that, what if we get out at the other end of the spindle?!

Chen Jiageng shook his head and said with a smile: "You are too worried about the old brother, the other end has been sealed, and their entrance and exit is the place where we just entered...... It's a place that can't be opened......"

"I still don't understand......"

"You can wait a while and look at the map with Ji Xiaofeng, and the map is also drawn more clearly. Chen Jiageng said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go find them quickly, in case someone pops up over there, and they can't find us, I'm afraid it will cause them a lot of trouble. ”

"Don't worry too much about this, the county lord sisters, they still have some cultivation, although they are far worse than you...... However, if they meet someone who cultivates as high as you, then I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of a problem......"

Chen Xuan and Chen Jiageng walked back and said, "Brother Chen, there is something I hold in my heart and I have always wanted to say it. ”

"Come on, by the way, let's all go faster. I still have to look at the map again, so that there are no omissions. ”

"We just saw a lot of rut marks, but I don't know if you noticed, in addition to the rut marks, there is also a very clear line of horseshoe prints......"

"Horseshoe prints?!, do you mean ......?"

"Yes, I think this horse's hooves should be the one who fought with me at Xingzi Station, it seems to be called......

"Yuwen Li'er?!"

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "This person's name is very awkward, I can't remember it...... I saw that it sounded like a horse's...... The horseshoe prints of his horse ......"

"Haha, look at what you said so tongue-twisting, but when you say that, I really remember, maybe this horseshoe print is really what he left behind......"

"Could it be the hoof prints of other horses?!" Chen Xuan couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassment.

Chen Jiageng shook his head and said, "This is unlikely, unless someone wants to lose their head." ”

Hearing his words, Chen Xuan felt very strange, "Brother Chen, what does this horse's hoof print have to do with losing its head?!"

Chen Jiageng smiled: "This has a lot to do with it." In our Great Chu Empire, the hierarchy is strict, up to the emperor, down to the ordinary people, it can be said that it is the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, this system has lasted for thousands of years. Let's take a very small example, let's talk about the horseshoe prints of this horse...... The horseshoe prints of dignitaries and nobles have related styles of manufacturing, and the horseshoe prints of the people are also related to manufacturing, and they cannot be transgressed from each other...... Otherwise, you may lose your head at any time, and even worse, you may be wiped out by the Nine Clans......"

"Oh, so that's the case, it seems that there are a lot of things that I really want to ask Brother Chen for. Chen Xuan suddenly realized.

Chen Jiageng looked up at the sky and said, "Let's all go faster, I'm afraid it will rain this day." ”

"Okay, okay......"

"If you look at this horseshoe print, it should be for the outdoor riding of a first-class official. After walking more than a dozen steps, Chen Jiageng pointed to a clear horse's hoof in front of him and said to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan hurriedly ran two steps, squatted down, began to carefully figure out the huge and clear horseshoe prints, remembered something, raised his head suddenly, and said to Chen Jiageng: "Big brother, I saw it right, it is indeed his." But this Yuwen Li'er, why do you want to run here to a place where birds don't?! Is it really like you said, there may be a huge conspiracy here, such as a rebel base?!"

"All of this is possible, so I'm going to ask Ji Xiaofeng to look at that map, and I should be able to find some strange things from the map. ”

Chen Xuanteng stood up and said, "Then let's go quickly, and then we will go through the two thatched houses." ”

The two men stopped talking, and soon came to the entrance of the village, and they came again to the wooden houses, which were perhaps the best houses in the whole village, which they had not thought of when they entered the village.

Because Chen Xuan's hometown, Yimen Chen Village, the most dilapidated houses are better than this wooden house.

It seems that it is really in today's Great Chu Empire, due to the intrigue of the upper echelons, the life of the common people is very hard, no wonder some people want to rebel.

It seems that the worries of the two of them are not superfluous, because when they rushed to the entrance of the village, they were missing the county lord Ji Ruohua and Ji Xiaofeng.

"County Lord!Xiaofeng!We're here, where are you?!" Chen Xuan stood under the archway at the entrance of the village, raised his voice, and shouted loudly.

But there was no response to answer him, except for the sparse echoes around him.

After shouting a few times, Chen Xuan still felt very bad, turned around and said to Chen Jiageng: "Brother Chen, what do you think......?

Chen Jiageng was also sweating heavily at this time, his face was also full of self-blame, and he said in a somewhat flustered tone: "This is impossible, the person is still there just now, it is said that the two of them should be more than enough to deal with the ordinary head snake...... And that Wang Lao Er is as sleepy as a zongzi, how can he pose a threat to them, unless ......"

"Unless it's something Brother Chen, you say it quickly?!" Chen Xuan asked anxiously.

"Unless they meet a bunch of people who are stronger than us, no...... People who are stronger than them......"

"Hey, it's really a misstep that will be hated for eternity...... Chen Xuan sighed and said with regret.

"Brother, you don't use the right words to say this, you are not a woman in a green building, a woman who has lost your footing...... Let's not blame ourselves just yet, I think it's very strange that they didn't make any noise when they first had an accident. However, one thing is for sure, the attacker's cultivation is much stronger than theirs, which is why they don't have time to make a sound...... It seems that this place, this Wangjia Village, is much deeper than we imagined......"

"So what are we going to do now? Just go back?!"

"Go, look around, always pay attention to safety...... Half an hour later, we'll meet here......"

"Know ......"

Chen Xuan saw that there was no other way, so he had no choice but to agree.

As a result of the division of labor between the two people, Chen Xuan continued to search all the way back to the perimeter of the wall, while Chen Jiageng searched around the entrance of the village.

Before he could take a few steps, Chen Jiageng stopped him, Chen Xuan looked back, and saw Chen Jiageng holding the map of Ji Xiaofeng just now.

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, he walked over to take a look, and asked, "How can the map be on you, how many of them are?!"

Chen Jiageng shook his head, didn't speak, just opened the parchment map, then gently put it on the ground, raised his hand to signal Chen Xuanye to squat down, and said to him: "Don't go over there yet, let's study this map." ”

"You haven't answered my question yet, how did the map end up in your hand?!" Chen Xuan repeated again.

"When I was looking for it in this store, I saw the map on the table and picked it up. ”

"Are they in the store?!"

"No, I shouted a few times, and no one answered me......"

"It's strange, how could they possibly put something so important in the store?! There's only one possibility, they're in big trouble. ”

"That's true, you could be hijacked by someone else. I don't think they're in danger of life for the time being......"

Chen Xuan asked, "How do you say this?!"

Tan Kah Kee said: "If you were killed by someone else on the spot, there should be traces of a fight here, or you would see their ...... Corpse...... But if you look around here, it's basically the same. So there's a chance they're going to be held hostage by someone, and they should be somewhere in the village right now......"

"I wonder if it could be that Wang Xiaoer's accomplice?! His accomplice saw us escorting him somewhere at the entrance of the village, and then took advantage of our lack of attention, he took a surprise attack, rescued Wang Xiaoer, and kidnapped the two of them at the same time?!"

Chen Jiageng nodded and said, "This possibility completely exists. Let's take a look at the map first, I didn't quite see it clearly. ”

"Oh well. But I don't understand this map at all, and my eldest brother needs to point out. Chen Xuan said.

"We can't talk about pointing, let's learn from each other. You look here, here is the symbol of the village, we now have to notice that the entrance of the village is the archway is facing south and back to the north, the road into the village is from south to north, the map of these wooden houses at the entrance of the village is not drawn, from the new degree of the wooden house, the time should not exceed half a year. ”

Chen Xuan said: "There is almost some truth. This wooden house is very out of touch with the surrounding huts, and I haven't had time to ask yet. ”

"The wooden house should not be inhabited, but used to display local products, which is equivalent to the ...... of Yimen Village."

"Yes, but our Yimen field is usually really busy, and there are many people who come and go to buy and sell, and thousands of people in the whole village have to rely on the field to eat......"

Chen Jiageng echoed: "When I first went out into the city, the entanglement on my body was because of the field in Yimen Village, and the kind uncle gave me a month's entanglement before I could go to the academy to teach...... It seems that people really have to learn to be grateful. ”

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to be a very righteous person, and he is also very nostalgic......"

"Okay, let's look at this map, since this is the village field, but you can't see the people coming and going, it means that they must have disappeared for some reason, or they are hiding...... So where exactly are they hiding?!"

"Didn't you just say that if there is really an underground base here, will the villagers all go inside?!"

Chen Jiageng shook his head, thought for a long time, and then said to Chen Xuan: "I think brother, if you say the truth, there is still one point, I can't figure it out...... You said they were hiding underneath, and there couldn't be no one on the ground...... You see such a large amount of goods, if no one takes care of it in broad daylight, wouldn't it be cheaper for those petty thieves?!"

Chen Jiageng's words made Chen Xuan start to worry about the cars in Liufangting, because the cars were full of some very valuable silks.

"The village looks quite large, and the road marked on the map is ...... Didn't Xiao Feng say that one of her finger joints was about one mile, and I measured it, and the road in this village was about three miles, which means that we didn't go far just now. ”

Chen Jiageng suddenly realized and said: "That's really the case, but didn't I just say that no matter how big and deep this village is, their entrance and exit can only be here...... There is no other way. ”

"If there really is an underground tunnel or other underground space, there must be no way to mark it on the map, because no one knows what the specific path is. Chen Xuan said.

"Brother, I'm afraid I'm going to use your divine eagle, do you have a way to call it over and ask it to check the terrain of this village?!"

Chen Xuan thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, but I have to walk back a few steps, because now we are also a few miles apart, with my cultivation, I only need to walk half more before I can call it over." ”

"Okay, that's okay, without further ado, I'll look for it at the entrance of the village, by the way, it's called a husband, don't open it, I still don't believe it, I can't find the county lord them?!It seems that we still underestimate that Wang Xiaoer, I think nine times out of ten it should be held hostage by his accomplices, and now the county lord should not be in danger of life for the time being, but I don't dare to say anything else......"

Chen Xuan also felt that the matter was very urgent, so he quickly stood up and arched his hand to Chen Jiageng and said, "Brother Chen, then it's hard for you, I'm going back." ”

"Okay, go and come back quickly, remember to pay attention to your own safety, and be careful of their attacks when walking alone......"

"Little brother, I remember, big brother, you are also ......"

After speaking, Chen Xuan rushed out of the archway at the entrance of Wangjia Village like an arrow and ran all the way.

He only felt that there was an invisible force behind him, pushing him forward, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because this feeling has never been felt before, that is, when he was still a waste wood before, he ran back and forth next to Zehu, playing with his friends, but he felt very tired, and there was no other feeling.

I didn't expect that now my cultivation has reached the ninth stage of the mortal realm, and I will actually have this feeling when I run quickly, if my cultivation rises step by step in the future, I may be able to soar through the clouds.

This feeling is indeed refreshing and coveted.

Of course, the technique of soaring clouds and fog will probably have to wait until a few years later, and then it depends on the degree of his efforts and luck.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan felt refreshed, he didn't expect that running could make him feel this way, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Only then did he realize that his cultivation had reached this realm, and he no longer needed to ride any horses, and he would be much faster than riding a horse if he ran a few steps faster, even if it was the kind of sweaty BMW in the legendary Western Regions, in his eyes Chen Xuan, it was like a snail crawling on a rainy day.

After Chen Xuan slowed down, he was about to expand his mind and call for the Yimen Divine Condor, but he changed his mind in an instant, because he wanted to go and see the two brothers Chen Zhong and Chen Fangguo, these two guys may be lazy, of course, the more important thing is that those carts of treasures, those Western businessmen, who came all the way to our land of China, exchanged real money for those things.

I heard that in the westernmost Great Qin Empire, one tael of gold can only be exchanged for one or two silk ......

If there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a loss of face, and when the time comes, in front of the county lord, I'm afraid there will really be no way to explain.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's heart was anxious, he started to run again, and a gust of wind rolled up behind him, whistling and rushing forward around him, which made Chen Xuan enjoy this feeling very much, he unconsciously accelerated his speed, and approached to use all his strength.

In the blink of an eye, he could already see the Liufang Pavilion, this dilapidated pavilion should be maintained, of course, this has nothing to do with him Chen Xuan.

"Goo-Goo......

Just as he was running hard, a voice came from above his head, and Chen Xuan looked up and saw that this was his righteous condor.

Chen Xuan was overjoyed, hurriedly stopped, raised his head and shouted: "The Condor is here, I have something to tell you!"

After a while, Chen Xuan finally figured out the temper of the Yimen Divine Condor, and when it hunted, it would make a terrible scream.

But when the Condor is docile, or when he is with Chen Xuan, he always makes that kind of beautiful "cooing" sound, so Chen Xuan can react in time.

The Yimen Condor flapped its wings a few times and flew onto Chen Xuan's shoulder, and his body suddenly became the size of a sparrow, this is a magical Condor.

"Diao'er, the county lord sisters are gone, you go to the entrance of the village to see the terrain, and then find Mr. Chen from Xunyang Academy, I'll take a look first, and I'll go back to the village entrance to ......meet you later."

The Yimen Condor nodded meekly, comprehending Chen Xuan's meaning, and then flapped his wings, his body and mind became bigger and bigger, until he flew into the air, turned into a small black dot, and disappeared completely, Chen Xuan was relieved.

I thought that these treasures on my body were really a great favor to myself, and none of them were idle, so I would strengthen my cultivation after being myself, so that I could add luster to my family.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but run a few more steps, because he enjoyed the feeling of running fast, this feeling was like riding a thousand-mile horse, running fast without feeling tired, because this strong push back feeling, made him feel very comfortable.

However, when he ran to the edge of the pavilion, he did not see what he had hoped to see, namely, the six carriages full of silk.

The two brothers, Chen Zhong and Chen Fangguo, were lying on the post road, as if they had been knocked unconscious.

"Chen Zhong!Chen Fangguo?!Wake up, what's wrong with you?!"

Chen Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly helped them up and sat down against the wall of the pavilion.

However, he shook for a long time, and the two of them seemed to be asleep, but they couldn't wake up.

Chen Xuan hurriedly touched their snorts, as well as their pulses, which were no different from ordinary people, but they didn't know why they fell asleep.

Only then did he realize that he might have been hit by someone else and fell into a deep coma, and if no one rescued them, he was afraid that he would have to sleep for ten days and a half months.

However, by that time, they may not be able to wake up again, because they have not eaten or drunk for ten days and a half, and even two strong men will probably be starved to death.

Chen Xuan thought that there were still a few pills in his Heaven Swallowing Gourd, and one of them was used in an emergency.

So, he hurriedly took out two of them and hurriedly stuffed them into their mouths.

Then, as soon as the palm of the hand was forced, the elixir entered their stomachs, and then slowly melted away......

In the blink of an eye, Chen Zhong and Chen Fangguo slowly woke up......

When they opened their eyes and saw that it was Chen Xuan, they immediately showed a look of horror.
