On the way back, that person was really polite to Tang Xing'er, always leading the way in front, and looking back from time to time to take care of her.

Tang Xing'er's heart was very happy.

The money in her hand is enough to support her future life, and she has already begun to think about whether she will go to the flower tea shop again in the future.

Following Tang Xing'er and that person left, there were two other people - Xu Ba and Xue Meng.

The two followed from a distance.

saw Tang Xing'er being sent back to the courtyard by that person, and the two quietly left and returned to Kaifeng Mansion.

"According to the villain's observation, Dong Chun did not embarrass the apricot girl." Xue Meng said.

"When the apricot girl came out, she was still holding a cloth bag in her hand, and it should be Dong Chun who gave her some rewards." Xu Ba also said.

Bao Zheng thought for a moment.

As long as Dong Chun didn't use force to coerce Tang Xing'er, she shouldn't have worked for her like before.

"There are two laborers, you can go to rest quickly, and go out of the city with me early tomorrow morning." Bao Zheng said to the two.

The two took their leave.

They didn't know what Bao Zheng was going to do out of the city tomorrow.

At dawn, there were still few pedestrians in sight on the street, and Bao Zheng had already set off with four errand officers.

Bao Zheng's car had a jar of good wine and a very small table, and almost everyone didn't know what they were for.

Soon after the car left the city, it began to walk along a strange route, and it seemed that Mr. Bao did not have an accurate target at all, which made the driver a little dizzy.

It wasn't until noon that the car walked into a deserted territory.

At this time, it was already far away from the capital.

"Stop!" Bao Zheng suddenly shouted.

The car stopped.

Almost everyone thought that Master Bao was going to take a temporary rest here, but they saw him get out of the car and stand there observing the surroundings with a solemn expression.

"You wait for everyone to take out the things in the car, and come with me." Bao Zheng commanded.

The four men lifted a piece of tarpaulin from the back of the car, and found a few rusty shovels and a few long wooden poles underneath.

"What are you asking me to do?" Xue Meng was strange.

"Xu is the lord is too bored in the mansion, and he specially asked me to come here for recreation?" Another officer also said.

Bao Zheng walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back.

He stopped in a place where water and grass were abundant, and lowered his head, as if searching for something.

There was nothing unusual here, except that the weeds seemed a little taller than the others, and there was a strange smell floating in the air.

Under the command of Master Bao, the four of them began to dig.

At first, there were no strange discoveries, and it wasn't until Xu Ba's shovel touched something hard that several people became vigilant.

It was a huge stone slab, about seven or eight meters in diameter, and it was unusually heavy, and the four of them could barely lift a corner of the stone slab with their combined efforts.

After all means, several people finally overturned the stone slab, revealing a pitch-black hole below.

There was a cold wind blowing out of the mouth of the cave, carrying a musty smell.

Bao Zheng leaned over to check it and straightened up.

"You wait here until the official goes down to check it out in person."

"Adults, no." Xue Meng hurriedly said, "It's weird here, I'm afraid that there is an ambush, adults don't know martial arts, if you go on like this, what should you do if you encounter danger?" ”

"The villain is willing to go with the adults." Xu Ba said.

Bao Zheng thought for a while, nodded, took a wooden pole two or three meters long from the hand of another errand officer, and walked down tentatively.

Xu Ba lit a torch and followed.

On one side of the cave wall, there are steps made of stones, which are covered with damp water droplets, and if you accidentally step on a piece, the piles of tide insects below will instantly roll and escape.

After walking about ten meters, the steps no longer extend downward, but go straight down an underground walkway.

The smell of mold was stronger.

Xu Ba seemed to have a premonition of danger.

"Adults must not go any further." Xu Ba walked in front of Lord Bao, raised the torch, and looked ahead as best he could.

There were some messy piles of rubble in front of them, probably too old, and many of them had detached from their original positions, vaguely revealing a huge dark space behind them.

"Wait for the villain to come and take a look." Xu Ba said, cautiously approaching the stone.

Bao Zheng was also nervous.

It must have been the first time he had been involved in danger.

Xu Ba had already come to the front of the stone and poked his head out to look inside.

The smell rushed out, and he almost vomited.

Sticking his torch through the gap, the first thing he saw was something covered in a huge cloth.

The surface of the cloth was covered with black grease, and many places were rotten, but it was impossible to see what was underneath, except for a few rats half a foot long, staring at him with blood-red eyes.

Xu Ba planned to move a little closer.

Suddenly, it seemed as if something was stepping on under my feet.

The thing rolled suddenly.

Xu Ba's body lost its center of gravity and sat on the ground, followed by a whistling cold wind overhead.

A stone slab half a foot thick fell in the air.

The space of the corridor is small, and Xu Ba has nowhere to hide.

The slate smashed firmly into his body, revealing only one head.

The tremendous force of the downward pressure instantly shattered his bones.

With Xu Ba's scream, the entire Yongdao immediately fell into darkness.

"Xu Ba!" Bao Zheng screamed.

No one answered him, and after Xu Ba's head shook against the ground, there was no sound.

Bao Zheng took a few steps back, slipped under his feet, and fell to the ground.

"My lord, is there anything unusual?" Xue Meng, who was guarding outside, leaned over and asked when he heard the voice.

After a long time, I heard Bao Zheng's answer.

"You wait here and wait for me to go down." Xue Meng said, holding a torch and walking down.

In the corridor, Bao Zheng's black face turned pale, pointing to Xu Ba's corpse not far in front.

Xue Meng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"There's an ambush here. Adult, wait for the villain to send you out first, and turn around to rescue Xu Ba's body. Xue Meng said, and was about to pull up Master Bao to leave, but was pushed away by Bao Zheng.

Since he has already died a Xu Ba, how can he quit just now.

"It's dangerous here, and villains still have to come." Xue Meng persuaded.

As an errand officer handling the case, Xue Meng has witnessed too many deaths, even if the other party is a friend who gets along with him day and night, he has no time to pay attention to it at this time.

Bao Zheng looked very stubborn.

Xue Meng had no choice but to take the torch and follow Xu Ba's footprints and approach forward.

Xue Meng tentatively poked at the piled stones with the single knife in his hand, and then, picking up hard along the gaps, watching the powder of those stones fall off, and no more sound was heard.

Behind the rocks a large space emerged.

It's unimaginably huge, and as far as the eye can see, there is no end at all.

The thing that took up most of the space, and the pungent musty smell that it emitted suddenly made Master Bao feel that he was wrong.

Not only himself, but also Li Hui, who claimed to be smart, and Yuan Guier, who gambled with his life, were deceived by Yuan Shu in the Later Han Dynasty.

Under the cloth was covered with moldy grain.
