Looking at the beautiful face that was blown by the wind, Qiu Cheng had to admit that he was moved.

The big rivers and lakes in the first heart are a kind of persistence in one's own heart, and the big rivers and lakes that the second one sees are the deceitful and chivalrous rivers and lakes that exist in real reality.

The third river and lake is the lover in front of you.

After Jiang Xinyue finished eating the oranges, she got up and walked to the bottom of the steps by the river, washed her hands with river water, and Qiu Chengyun hurriedly swallowed half of the orange in her mouth, and then ran to the river and washed her hands in the same way.

Jiang Xinyue looked at Qiu Chengyun, and suddenly scooped some water with her hand and splashed it on Qiu Chengyun. Now that it is autumn, the river is still very cold, splashed on the face by the river, and the autumn carrier is full of excitement, a little cold.

Qiu Cheng thought about it, dipped his index finger in some water, and then clasped his index finger with his thumb and flicked it lightly on Jiang Xinyue's head.

The two of them seem to be flirting.

Jiang Xinyue covered her head and laughed silently, Qiu Chengyun wiped her face, wiped off the water stains on it, and laughed too.

"Go up. Qiu got up and stretched out his arm to Jiang Xinyue.

Jiang Xinyue read Qiu Chengyun's lips, put her hand on Qiu Chengyun's palm, and Qiu Chengyun pulled her up.

It's slightly cool to the hand and a little soft. This is the feeling of autumn carrying.

Big hands are warm and powerful. This is Jiang Xinyue's feeling.

Qiu Cheng pulled Jiang Xinyue and prepared to go up the steps, when he suddenly felt that there was a vacant salary under his feet, and under the stone bricks of this step, it seemed to be hollow.

Qiu Cheng squatted down and looked at the big stone slab, Jiang Xinyue also squatted down suspiciously, looking curiously at the place where Qiu Cheng looked at.

Jiang Xinyue gestured, asking what was wrong. In the past few days, Qiu Cheng has also made up some sign language, so he can roughly understand what Jiang Xinyue wants to express.

"It's nothing, let's go, I'll take you back to the inn." Qiu Chengyun smiled, pulled Jiang Xinyue up, and when he left, he looked back at the stone slab on the steps, thoughtful.

After sending Jiang Xinyue back to the inn, the two made an appointment to go outside the city tomorrow to "enjoy the water", because Jiang Xinyue especially likes to be in a daze at the water, so Qiu Chengyun called the time he and Jiang Xinyue spent together "appreciating the water".

Qiu carried back home, and now this is the Qiu family's secret stronghold in the Chu State.

After arriving home, Qiu carried to the backyard, at this time there were not many people in the stronghold, many of them went out to do tasks, their daily task was to wander around the place, collect all kinds of information related to the Chu State, even some local myths and legends they had to collect.

In short, as long as it is information, whether it is useful or not, they have to collect it.

After the collection is completed, it will be handed over to the person in charge of this stronghold every day, and the person in charge will conduct a preliminary screening, and seal some really useless news, leaving it to be viewed in the future in case it is useful, and the useful news will be packed and sent back to Wei Guoqiu's house on a later date.

The Qiu family's Jianghu intelligence network, compared with Emperor Wei's "Zhaozi" agency, will not be inferior, every day from all over the world to collect tens of thousands of news, and useful news will also be thousands, key news, maybe a few months just one or two, these two will be rushed to the palace for Emperor Wei to see.

There are also two old locust trees in the backyard, not just when they were planted, but they are said to have existed before they moved here.

The autumn carrier circled around the two old locust trees, round and round, and just looked at the surface, and did not see anything wrong.

Qiu Cheng stepped on the ground inch by inch with his foot, but there was no hollow sound, which means that the ground under his feet is all solid, even if there is a hollow place, it will only be outside the soil layer several zhang thick.

Digging down a few zhang thick, this is a big project, and it is impossible not to be discovered when digging.

The autumn carrier looked up at the old locust tree, and it was strange to say that the old locust tree did not bloom this year. He didn't see the fallen flowers when he came, so he also inquired about the people here, and learned that the old locust tree had been blooming for a few years, but it didn't bloom this year.

Qiu Carrier saw that there was no one around, and his body jumped to the branch of the old locust tree, and only then did he come up, and the branch of the old locust tree that he stepped on made a crisp sound, and it was broken.

Qiu Cheng stretched out his right hand and grabbed another branch, so he didn't fall, he looked at the broken branch in front of him, this was clearly a dead branch, so it broke with a little force.

"Sure enough, there is something inside. "Autumn carried climbed to the top of the tree and was surprised to find that this old locust tree was hollow!

The trunk of this old locust tree has been hollowed out by people, and the hollowed out part is enough for an adult to easily drill into, it seems that this is the real reason why the old locust tree did not bloom this year, this old locust tree, has died.

Autumn carried the jump to another old locust tree and found that the same was true, and the interior was also hollowed out.

Autumn jumped down and fell to the ground, and went back to his room as if nothing had happened, and when it was dark, he ran out of the room, and came to the two old locust trees that had only wooden piers left, and walked to the riverside steps in front of him, and turned the stone slab open.

Below, sure enough, it was empty, enough to accommodate an adult to enter, and the autumn carrier did not hesitate, went directly into it, and then moved the stone slab up with his hands.

The space under this is large enough, it is a very wide secret passage, and Qiu Cheng has been walking along this secret passage, he doesn't know if it is really the same as he guessed.

After walking for about a stick of incense, he felt that he had walked a downhill road, and then climbed a steep slope of almost 90 degrees, and the drop of the steep slope was probably tens of meters, and when he climbed to a certain distance, he found some tree roots.

When he saw these roots, he knew that they were not far from what he had guessed.

Further up, there was a hollow tree trunk, which he had seen during the day, and it was the trunk of the two hollowed-out old locust trees in the backyard of the Qiu family's stronghold in the Chu State.

Two of the old locust trees were hollowed out, and the other, fearing that it was leading to another place, climbed out of the old locust tree in autumn and drilled into the trunk of the other old locust tree, which was still a steep slope of nearly 90 degrees, and he probably drilled down dozens of meters.

This time, the secret passage is relatively narrow, and those who are a little fatter may not be able to pass smoothly, but Qiu Cheng is fortunate that he is slim enough.

"So long?" Qiu Cheng frowned, this time he had been gone for half an hour, and he hadn't reached the end yet.

"If this is calculated, this distance is probably out of the city. Autumn carried silently estimated.

Finally, after walking for a full hour, Autumn Carrier reached the top of the secret passage, and there was a wooden plank in front of him blocking the way, and Autumn Carrier carefully removed the plank.

A strange smell came, and Qiu Cheng sniffed it, it was a foul smell.

Qiu Cheng glanced out, and when he found that there was no one, he pushed off the plank and climbed out, and with a chirp, he stepped on something, wet, soft and slippery, and he looked down to see that it was a piece of......

There was a humming sound around him, he looked left and right, his expression instantly froze, this is a pig barn......

Soon, the autumn carrier determined its location, which is a farm ten miles away from Hanyang City, which is contracted by a farmer to raise pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc.

After some investigation, Qiu Carrier didn't find anything too valuable, so he suppressed the disgust in his heart, and got into the secret passage from the pig barn and returned to the stronghold.

Qiu Cheng returned to his room and thought about it carefully, if he caught this inner ghost now, would it be appropriate?

After thinking about it all night, Qiu Carrier got up early in the morning, found the person in charge of this stronghold, revealed his identity, and after determining the identity of Autumn Carrier, the person in charge immediately called everyone together according to Autumn Carrier's instructions.

Qiu Carrier doesn't worry that the person in charge will be an internal ghost, because the person in charge of each stronghold has 100% loyalty to the Qiu family.

After a group of people were gathered, they all looked at Autumn and whispered.

"What do you want to do with that?"

"I heard that this is our young master Qiu's carriage!"

"Our young owner, won't you?"

......

"Everyone, be quiet, this is our young owner, the young master of the Qiu family, Qiu Cheng, gathered everyone today because the young owner wants to ask something, and the people who will be asked by the young owner must answer any question truthfully, otherwise they will ......"

The eyes of the person in charge of the stronghold swept over everyone, and those people subconsciously lowered their heads.

As the person in charge of the stronghold, he is not only capable, but also very powerful, and has an absolute iron fist, otherwise these people would not obey him, and these people are afraid of the person in charge of this stronghold in their hearts.

"I think everyone knows me, we've been together for more than half a month, although most people haven't crossed paths with me, but it doesn't matter, I want to play a game with you next. Qiu said.

"Games?"

"What game?"

"Playing games?"

Many people asked subconsciously, showing a stunned expression.

"The rules of the game are very simple, I ask you to answer, what about the name of the game, just call who is the inner ghost. Qiu Cheng said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color, and everyone looked at their left and right, there was a spy among them?

After Qiu Chengyun said this, his eyes kept falling on the more than thirty people, but everyone's expressions were almost the same look of surprise.

Qiu Cheng frowned, walked up to the first person in the first row, and asked, "Do you eat pork?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and shook his head stupidly, not understanding why Qiu Chengyun asked this question.

Qiu Cheng snorted, making sure it wasn't this person, and he moved on to the next target.

"Will you go to the river?"

The man shook his head blankly.

Qiu Cheng snorted again, and also ruled out the suspicion of this person.

Next, the autumn carrier used the same method, and soon excluded more than half of the people.

Looking at the remaining few people, Qiu Cheng looked at them for a while, each of them was very nervous, just from the surface, Qiu Cheng couldn't see anything, but these five people all had a rotten smell.

The smell was the rotting smell of dead insects in the trunk of the hollowed-out old locust tree, mixed with the pungent smell of some rotten wood.

These people are all suspicious.

The autumn carrier took the five people away from the scene, and those who remained at the scene told the person in charge of the stronghold to watch and not run around.

After some careful interrogation, Qiu Chengyun walked out of the room with the back of his head, and it turned out that the suspicion of these five people was also ruled out, these five guys, went out to eat roasted bugs yesterday, roasted bugs baked with pear wood.

These five people also have enough heavy tastes......

Qiu Chengyun returned to the scene with five people, pacing back and forth in front of everyone, this inner ghost, can't he find out? If he can't find out this person today, it will inevitably startle the snake, and the stronghold here can't even be wanted.

At this moment, Qiu Cheng suddenly turned around, looked at the person in charge of the stronghold, he stepped forward slightly, wanting to smell the smell of the person in charge of the stronghold, just now he didn't suspect the person in charge of the stronghold, so he didn't care, but now, although he didn't want to think about this possibility, he still had to guard against it.

The autumn carrier had just stepped forward, but the person in charge of the stronghold took a step back and stayed away from the autumn carrier.

Qiu Cheng suddenly raised his head and stared at the person in charge of the stronghold.

The person in charge of the stronghold also stared at Qiu Carrier, and his eyes were a little indifferent.

"It's you?" Qiu Cheng really didn't want to believe that the person in charge of a stronghold was the least likely to betray the Qiu family, but this happened anyway.

"It's me, it's not me. The head of the stronghold smiled.

"You killed him?" Qiu Cheng was furious, understanding what the person in charge of the stronghold meant.

The person in charge of the stronghold spread his hands, and then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, grabbed his face, pulled hard, tore off a human skin mask, grabbed it in his hand, and shook it at everyone.

At this time, the sound of neat footsteps came from outside the door, and the autumn carrier instantly changed color.

Everything points to disaster.
