Chapter 41: Discovering the Tunnel
Su Qiwen really wanted to follow his sister and Murong to leave, everything is completely different from before, he is no longer an ignorant scholar who cares about everything every day, but an exiled prisoner with his hands covered in blood.
He has to understand that people's hearts are sinister and the world is impermanent, and he must understand the responsibility on his shoulders as the eldest son of the Su family.
He needs to grow, he needs to transform.
"This time, the eldest brother doesn't have to go, we are not going to kill people, but to check the bandits' lair, but someone needs to watch here, so the eldest brother stays to protect them in case there is an accident."
Su Yue said truthfully, indeed she wanted to leave with Murong to check where the bandits' nest was, and if it was destroyed by the way, it would change later.
This gang of bandits is not simple, they dare to come to intercept the team exiled by the imperial court, either they have eaten the gall of the leopard, or they are not afraid, they are not afraid of being caught by the imperial court.
Why not be afraid, that is, they have confidence.
They just want to see where the bandits' confidence is.
"Okay."
Su Qiwen also knows that someone needs to stay, so he will stay, and it is also his responsibility to stay.
Su Yue and Murong Li glanced at each other, and the two disappeared into the dense forest in a blink of an eye.
With Su Yue's spiritual power, the two of them can avoid the beasts well, and at the same time search for where the bandits' nest is in the forest.
The two searched for a long time, but there was no trace of bandits.
The two of them wondered that bandits passing through this forest must have left traces.
But there was nothing, and the grass in the forest showed no signs of being trampled.
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "Murong Li, did you say that they dug tunnels, and they are tunnels when they go in and out?" β
If there is no earth, it must be underground, and the bandits do not have wings, and there is no heavenly means of transportation here, so it is impossible to fly from the sky.
Murong Li nodded, he also thought so: "It should be from the tunnel, so many people, it won't be the first time to come out to rob, it's impossible not to leave traces, I think it should be from the ground, let's look carefully." β
Saying that, Murong Li took Su Yue's hand and went back to the place where the fight was originally made, and the entrance and exit must be nearby.
Murong Li's strong and powerful hands held Su Yue's petite and soft little hands, and both of them had strange feelings in their hearts, Murong Li was a little happy in his heart, his little woman did not reject him, holding such a delicate and soft hand, he liked it very much, and he wanted to hold her like this for the rest of his life.
And Su Yue glanced at him, just in time to see his perfect jawline, this man is really good-looking, good martial arts, good looking, not bad for her, such a man is still her fiancΓ©.
Su Yue had a feeling that happiness had suddenly come to her.
Murong Li seemed to feel Su Yue's gaze, and smiled back, this smile made Su Yue dazzled, she took a deep breath, it was really a beauty looking back and smiling.
Su Yue glared at him, this guy used a beauty trick on her, and then stopped looking at him, Murong Li simply picked her up and flew back to the vicinity of the fighting arena to check.
Su Yue was held by a man for the first time, flying in the air for the first time, smelling the good smell on Murong Li's body, her whole body was dizzy.
She was fascinated by this man.
When he arrived, Murong Li gently put Su Yue down, and at an angle she didn't see, the corners of his lips hooked slightly.
The little woman blushed and her heart beat faster, did she like him?
This section of the road is relatively wide, with mountains on both sides, and according to this terrain, it is really suitable for robbery.
The two of them looked at Qin and the leader, who had almost cleaned up at this time, and were arranging a fire to cook.
The two of them searched carefully at the foot of the mountain.
The hard work paid off, and half an hour later, Su Yue found that there were traces of movement in a place, which was overgrown with weeds, and it was a very inconspicuous place, but there were traces of being pulled.
The two of them quickly came here, and sure enough, there were many footprints on the ground.
Su Yue: "It should be here." β
Murong Li nodded, and used a Tang knife to cut down the grass, and then a hole that only allowed one person to get out was revealed, and the entrance of the hole was blocked by a wooden plank, Murong Li kicked the door and jumped in first.
Su Yue shook his head, it was dark and not in the middle of winter, could he see it?
But thinking that he has internal strength, he should be able to see at night, but she has the mental power to ignore the night.
However, Su Yue still took out a flashlight from the space, anyway, the Tang knife was taken out, and it didn't seem strange to have some strange things come out.
After Su Yue entered, he held the flashlight high, Murong Li looked back at the flashlight in her hand, very curious, he took it from Su Yue's hand to see if he saw that there was no reason, and returned it to her: "Let's be careful." β
I'm afraid that there is an ambush or mechanism in this tunnel, don't be a little bit of these bandits.
Su Yue nodded and followed Murong Li cautiously.
This tunnel is one person tall and two people wide, and it is estimated that it has been decades old.
"Be careful."
After the two walked for a while, less than a foot away in front of them, a trap was set there, and Su Yue immediately reminded him.
The two walked to the trap, Murong Li removed the obstacle above, and sure enough, there was a pit more than one person high below, and the bottom of the pit was full of sharp bamboo pieces.
This gang of bandits is really cunning, they dare to make traps like this in the tunnels they walk, and they are not afraid that their own people will accidentally fall down.
It can be seen that the bandit leader is a thoughtful and cunning man.
The two of them crossed the trap and walked on, and from time to time they saw a small compartment on either side of a tunnel, in which were placed tools for lighting, and some dry food.
Of course, there are still a lot of traps, if Su Yue doesn't have the mental power to check it, it will really be impossible to guard against.
"Fortunately, the bandit leader was destroyed, this bandit is really not simple." Even Murong Li sighed.
"No, the bandits who are not afraid of the imperial court still have brains to some extent."
"Wait a minute, let's pay attention, I don't think that with a few brushes from that bandit leader, he shouldn't have the brains to arrange these."
Murong Li seemed to think of something and reminded Su Yue.
When fighting with the bandit leader, looking at his fierce appearance, it seems that he is not a smart man.
Of course, people can't look good, but a reminder is right.
"Okay, I guess they must have some kobold military advisor, if so, do you say catch alive or kill?" Su Yue asked.
"Let's see when the time comes, if it can't be used by us, kill it."
"Hmm."
The two of them talked as they walked, and in less than half an hour, the two walked out of the hole.
The entrance of the cave is also at the foot of a mountain, and the two of them stand at the entrance of the cave, looking at the scene in front of them.
It is a large valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a small village, at least a hundred households, and many of them are still smoking from the rooftops.
