How could Su Ci dare to say yes?

Fuck, I don’t know how she ended up talking about this awkward and sensitive topic.

She didn't dare to answer, nor did she dare not to answer. In the end, she had to bite the bullet and say in a flattering voice: "How can that be? Brother Yang is the best and most outstanding man I have ever met." It's a pity that he is not suitable for me.

Yang Yanzong didn't say anything. In the dark, she felt him staring at her for a long time. When Su Ci's flattering smile was about to collapse, she heard him snort and continue walking forward.

This stupid topic was somehow dealt with. Of course, Su Ci didn't know what would happen next.

After traveling together and being rescued, the two of them are indeed much more familiar with each other than before. Now Su Ci is much more relaxed when talking and getting along with others than before.

Of course, she had no time to talk now, because Yang Yanzong was moving too fast. He could see things in the dark as usual and walked on flat ground. She almost got her nose dented several times when making sharp turns, but Yang Yanzong said in a deep voice: "Hurry up." If someone took it away, this trip would be in vain, and it would be fatal to him and his side.

Su Ci knew he was talking about the account book, and thought to herself that couldn't be the case, but then she thought, with such a strong wind, there must be more than one entrance exposed.

Thinking of this, she also became anxious: "Well, let's go faster!"

We have come this far, we can’t fail at the last moment!

The two of them sped up. At this time, a fork appeared in the mine tunnel ahead. Yang Yanzong squinted his eyes and stared at it for a long time, and finally chose the one that went up.

Su Ci didn't know how he made the choice. It didn't look like he made it based on his feelings. This man's knowledge was too wide. A military officer who was born as a bloody warrior, he even knew the structure of the mine tunnel. It had to be said that he was indeed a character.

After walking for a long distance, going down and up, and turning seven or eight big bends, Su Ci felt that the mine tunnel under her feet seemed to have become wider and flatter. There were even tracks in some places, with carts of large ore on the tracks. She followed Yang Yanzong and squeezed past the mine carts sideways.

Su Ci felt that she should be at the edge of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain because she saw a crack - she didn't know whether it was caused by the previous explosion or it was there all along. It was noon outside, and a ray of light poured in from the tiny, winding crack, allowing Su Ci to finally see something.

The mine cart was black, and it was filled with ores of all sizes. The iron gray color was tinged with the unique color of silver ore, and it was very obvious in the daylight. It was so big! many! Even the mine tunnels and mine carts, after years of friction, were covered with a unique silver metallic cold glow.

——This is a rich mine with a very high silver content. It’s a big mine. If you get one of them, you will be very rich. Liu Ying may not have only one in his hands!

Su Ci believed that she had never been short of money. She couldn't help swallowing when she saw this. A surge of blood welled up in her heart. She suddenly understood the Liu Ying brothers very well. People die for money and birds die for food. It's no joke.

The gap above their heads curved forward, a little wider than before, and seemed to split into two as it extended forward. Su Ci followed Yang Yanzong and moved forward silently beside the mine cart. She looked in the direction of the gap and there seemed to be a hall ahead?

However, at this glance, she suddenly saw from the corner of her eye a black shadow passing by in the mine tunnel at the end of the hall, followed by another one!

Su Ci's heart tightened!

Before she could turn her head to see clearly, her wrist tightened, Yang Yanzong pulled her, and quickly turned over and hid behind the mine car!

Yes, there is someone.

Su Ci's heart was pounding, she held her breath, and dared not blink.

In the extremely quiet and echoing mine tunnel, once things calmed down, even she could hear footsteps.

It was very light, with a slight and quick sweep, and there was the sound of the wind blowing the clothes' sleeves shaking rapidly.

Yang Yanzong put his hand on the back of her head and pressed her face to his chest. Su Ci knew very well that since she could hear others so clearly, it must be easy for others to hear her breathing, so she quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

Without Yang Yanzong's massage, she buried her face deeply in his arms and tried to slow down her breathing.

The two men's bodies were pressed tightly together, huddled between the narrow mine cart and the mine tunnel wall.

Yang Yanzong turned slightly, his sharp eyes staring at the opposite side like an eagle.

There were two groups of people in total. He judged that one group was Ji Yuanhao's people and the other was the emperor's people.

These two groups of people seemed to have entered earlier than them, and had even confronted each other first.

Now things have come to the most critical last moment!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows stern.

In order to reduce the size, Su Ci held Yang Yanzong's waist with her hands. In the left inner pocket of his tight waist, she touched a hard object, and Su Ci couldn't help but hold it.

Yang Yanzong reached into his bosom and took out the thing. It was the bronze token they got from Feng Shang.

He rubbed it for a while. Yang Yanzong and Su Ci were both smart men. After entering the mine for so long, they both had some guesses. This token might be something that could be used to open some box or secret door to get the account books.

——Ji Yuanhao got Feng Shang. With his ability, he must have found out the details such as the location of the account book and how to open it.

And this secret key may not be in Feng Shang's hands only.

After all, the Liu Ying brothers had been caught before.

But no matter what, there is no doubt that we have to be quick now! Time is running out, and they only have a secret key as a bargaining chip.

Must keep up!

With a thought, the two groups of people quickly crossed the hall and rushed towards a mine tunnel going upward on the left. Yang Yanzong immediately dodged.

Su Ci took a quick breath, almost suffocating her. Yang Yanzong did not stop, and quickly flashed to the left side of the mine tunnel on tiptoe, but someone pulled the hem of his clothes.

He turned around and Su Ci bit her lip lightly, looking at him a little nervously.

No, don't leave her here alone, brother!

But she also knew that she didn't have any light-body skills and didn't have any internal martial arts skills. In this situation, she couldn't chase him.

Su Ci looked at him nervously.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yang Yanzong leaned over and said, "Come up!"

Su Ci raised her lips and breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly lay on his back, took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose tightly, not forgetting to flatter him in a low voice: "Brother Yang, you are so nice." He is indeed a man who can do great things and is very generous.

Big p.

She instantly lost all her nervousness, her tone became light and quick, and there was an indescribable note of joy in her clear voice. When Yang Yanzong stood up, she automatically and consciously clamped her legs around his waist and held his neck tightly with her hands, just like a sloth lying on a tree.

And now he is Big Brother Yang, not Eldest Young Master.

Sooner or later, she will piss me off to death!

Yang Yanzong snorted, held her legs, took a deep breath, and flew forward at high speed.

The wind was howling and the speed was very fast, but there was no obstacle in the darkness, even for her. This internal energy was really an anti-human thing!

Su Ci was very envious, but unfortunately she was over the age limit and could not practice anymore, so it was useless no matter how many starry eyes she had.

Su Ci lay tightly on Yang Yanzong's shoulder, staring straight ahead with her eyes wide open. After running for a while, they heard the sound of fighting, and they stopped immediately.

Stay still and listen attentively.

After listening for a while, Yang Yanzong curled his lips and smiled, then turned around and went back with Su Ci silently.

There was someone fishing up front, but unfortunately he wouldn't take the bait.

Su Ci didn't dare to speak until they were a long distance apart and Yang Yanzong let go of her and spoke first.

Yang Yanzong twisted the secret key and rubbed it for a while: "There is probably only one key."

At least, neither of these two groups of people are currently in the mine.

Su Ci was such a smart person that she understood immediately: "You mean, that was a bait to lure us out?!"

The fight just now sounded very intense, with constant sounds of weapons piercing flesh, injured people groaning, and people falling to the ground. Su Ci didn't know how Yang Yanzong heard it, but since he said it was true, it was certain.

"The place where the account books are hidden must be nearby."

Yang Yanzong's voice was light, with a stern look in his eyes. After he finished speaking, he raised his chin and motioned Su Ci to come up.

Once raw, twice cooked. Su Ci jumped up swiftly and adjusted her posture in two or three steps.

Yang Yanzong glanced at her, took a deep breath and flew forward.

Yang Yanzong's judgment was absolutely correct. After searching for about half an hour, they found a large hall. With the light coming through the gaps, Su Ci could see that the inside was very flat and clean, without any ore slag or tracks on the ground.

The ore does not come in or out through here.

It is very big and should be a natural cave converted. There are stalactites, stalagmites, some natural strange rocks of various shapes, and a small artificial stone arch bridge. There is dark water flowing underneath, and there is a dripping sound at the end, which is groundwater.

This looks like a hall used for offices or meetings, with a long stone table and chairs inside, and many lamps hanging overhead, but none of them are lit yet. There are people holding knives inside, silently hiding behind the shadows of the stone pillars, one diagonally in front and another on the left.

Yang Yanzong noticed it as soon as he came up. He glanced at the two positions and smiled silently.

Found the place.

The hall was very windy, with corridors extending in all directions. From Su Ci's angle alone, he could see seven or eight forks in the road. Yang Yanzong squinted his eyes and looked around, his gaze finally set on the triangular position where the two people supported each other - the stone wall behind the main seat at the long stone table.

He withdrew his gaze, put his arms around Su Ci's waist, tiptoed, and left silently.

This place was too close to the bait point, and any movement would be heard almost immediately from the other side. The positions of these two people were very clever, so there was no possibility of killing them all with one strike.

If you want to go in and get the account book, you must first lure away the person who is setting up a trap below.

Su Ci whispered, "What's going on? Is there an ambush?"

Yang Yanzong said a few words lightly, and Su Ci suddenly realized. Then, her eyes turned and her gaze fell on Yang Yanzong's belt.

Well, it was on the copper buckle of his belt.

Yang Yanzong's waist buckle is very simple in style and it is obviously a waist buckle at first glance, but she remembers that other people's waist buckles were not as simple as this one.

Su Ci glanced at his belt buckle, and Yang Yanzong lowered his eyes and touched it. The two of them looked up in tacit understanding and looked at each other. Yang Yanzong said, "Let's go out."

Without saying a word, he picked up Su Ci and turned around quickly.

The mine tunnel had many twists and turns and there were many forks in the road. Yang Yanzong had forgotten the original route, but after some detours, he quickly found the right direction and came out from the original entrance.

The two men ran straight to the other side of the mountain. When they arrived at the explosion site halfway up the mountain, everyone had disappeared. After identifying the secret code left behind, some people withdrew, while the others went in the direction where Yang Yanzong disappeared at the foot of the mountain. Liu Ying was also missing, presumably taken away by the former.

Yang Yanzong went down the mountain immediately.

Soon, the two found Akang and two young men named Asheng and Ajiu. Only the three of them were not seriously injured, while the others had difficulty moving. So they split into two, with the latter taking Liu Ying to retreat first, while the three of them rushed to the direction where Yang Yanzong and Su Ci disappeared.

Su Ci went to look for Yang Yanzong, but he couldn't be found. To make matters worse, the three of them were anxiously searching for him among the pile of rocks.

Yang Yanzong whistled, and the three men were overjoyed. They turned around and rushed over, quickly reporting the situation on the slope. Yang Yanzong nodded, and then briefly explained the situation in the mine. When Su Ci saw people, he immediately turned his attention to Akang's belt buckle.

This is a copper belt buckle with a shiny black luster, half the size of a palm, with a double bat pattern on it - to be honest, even if the ears of the belt were knocked off and smoothed, this thing and the secret key are very different in pattern and style, and the size will not match.

But what does that matter?

Anyway, those two groups of people have never seen the specific appearance of the secret key.

After finishing the belt buckle in two or three moves, Yang Yanzong gave a few brief instructions. Akang and the other two obeyed the order solemnly. Then, two in front and three behind, they quietly returned to the mine.

…

The same scene had been played out for twenty or thirty times. The original confidence of Zhu Lianming, the inspector general, gradually became a little impatient. He let out a breath, suppressed his temper and carefully examined the powder at the left and right mine entrances and the situation in the hall above his head. Then he came back and glanced at Ji Yuanhao coldly: "Boy, don't play tricks on me!"

Ji Yuanhao's men suffered heavy casualties in the collapse, with only seven people left around him, some of whom were seriously injured.

The people from the imperial court arrived a step late, but luckily they did not encounter the explosion and were safe and sound. When they ran over, they ran into Ji Yuanhao head-on, and the former drew his sword immediately to surround and kill him!

Ji Yuanhao didn't waste any words and immediately expressed his willingness to surrender to the court and make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

Zhu Lianming certainly knew that he might not be sincere in his loyalty, but he needed to exchange the intelligence inside the mine that the Four Princes' Palaces had.

So he accepted Ji Yuanhao's offer to join him.

Ji Yuanhao was good at planning, and later offered this strategy to trap Yang Yanzong and the secret key in his hand.

Zhu Lianming made his judgment and adopted the proposal.

They were originally full of confidence, but after working for so long, if Yang Yanzong was still alive, he should have found the entrance to the mine, right?

Zhu Lianming cast a questioning look at Ji Yuanhao.

Ji Yuanhao leaned against the stone wall and smiled: "I have no reason to deceive the general. The general also has his own judgment."

A ray of light cast through the gap fell on this man. His dark purple brocade robe with tied sleeves was stained with dust and blood, and his hair crown was a little messy, but his temperament was calm and noble. He did not look embarrassed at all, but instead had a sense of casual and unhurriedness.

Zhu Lianming snorted coldly: "It's better this way!"

He thought about it carefully and decided that this plan was indeed a good one. If Ji Yuanhao wanted to play tricks, he would only do so when Yang Yanzong appeared to seize the secret key. There was no point in making trouble now.

Zhu Lianming raised his chin and signaled his followers to prepare: "Be careful, try again."

Just as all the tracking started again and they were chasing around the hall and entering the "fighting state", Zhu Lianming's ears were sharp. He suddenly tilted his head and seemed to hear the sound of some gravel being stepped on during the clash of weapons.

In addition to powder, gravel is also sprinkled at the entrances of each mine. If someone comes, they will not be able to escape their eyes and ears unless they go forward to check!

Zhu Lianming and his confidant who was lying in ambush at the entrance of the mine tunnel heard the sound, and they looked at each other at the same time.

Zhu Lianming was overjoyed and rushed out like a whirlwind: "Who is coming?!"

Ji Yuanhao narrowed his eyes, stood up suddenly, and shot out like lightning!

Almost at the same time, except for the person who was originally named to be responsible for holding the line to prevent the opponent from making a mistake, everyone rushed over quickly!

Ahead! Three figures flashed in the mine tunnel, one after the other, and quickly turned around and ran away. Zhu Lianming immediately shouted, "Where are you running?!"

He raised his sleeves and the meteor dart whizzed after him! A fierce battle immediately broke out. The three people who were suddenly exposed were undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the mine tunnel was very narrow. The leader shouted in a low voice: "Retreat to the left!"

The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse, with a bit of natural indifference. Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Lianming and Ji Yuanhao were greatly encouraged. Zhu Lianming waved his hand and shouted: "Kill without mercy!!"

Ji Yuanhao has rushed forward to attack!

Zhu Lianming is also an expert among experts. He stared at Ji Yuanhao coldly but did not say anything for the time being. The two of them joined forces and instantly forced Yang Yanzong back several steps! Zhu Lianming stared at the inner pocket of Yang Yanzong's waist and abdomen and picked it several times in a row. The last time, he finally succeeded!

Yang Yanzong's chest and abdomen shrank, Zhu Lianming shouted loudly and jumped up, the former was a little slower, and the tip of the sword made a "ding" sound and finally touched a hard copper object!

With the joint efforts of Zhu Lianming and Ji Yuanhao, they finally succeeded in picking up the bronze medal. The black bronze medal flew high into the sky. Yang Yanzong was furious and took a deep breath. The three people on the opposite side jumped up at the same time to grab it!

Helplessly, Zhu Lianming and Ji Yuanhao's men all focused on this moment and launched indiscriminate attacks on each other! Of course, Yang Yanzong's side suffered the most attacks. If they insisted on taking it, they would be seriously injured, forcing him to retreat.

However, with Zhu Lianming and Ji Yuanhao fighting for the bronze medal with all their might, neither of them could catch it. Instead, it fell straight to the end of the mine tunnel after being thrown with great force. Yang Yanzong and the other two were overjoyed. They immediately turned around and rushed forward, leaned over to grab the bronze medal and quickly ran away!

"Chase! Chase quickly!!!"

Zhu Lianming shouted loudly, and forty or fifty soldiers from both sides split into several groups and chased after them quickly!

The shouting and the sounds of chasing faded away in an instant, and all the people disappeared in a flash.

On the other side of the battle scene, at the end of one of the mine tunnels, Su Ci and the real Yang Yanzong looked at each other, and it was done!

Su Ci's eyebrows were curved, and her joy almost overflowed from the corners of her eyebrows and lips, and Yang Yanzong finally curled his lips lightly.

Su Ci pointed towards the hall and mouthed: Let’s go then?

It was a great play directed by Yang Yanzong and Su Ci and performed passionately by Akang and the other two, which successfully attracted most of the audience.

There were a few scouts, but Yang Yanzong dealt with them silently.

Afterwards, the two men went straight to the hall and dealt with the two ambushers hiding behind the stone pillars.

Great, finally!

Yang Yanzong took out the secret key, Su Ci blew the fire stick and she squatted down and fumbled around in the dark stone wall behind the main seat for several times. Soon she found the concave card where the key was placed.

She turned around and took the secret key from Yang Yanzong's hand, paused, and carefully placed it on the groove. There was no response, so she reached out and pressed it, and immediately heard a clear "click" sound.

“There is a reaction!”

Su Ci whispered, stretched out her hand and tried to gently rotate it left and right. Then there was a slight "click" sound, and sure enough, a stone slab about one foot long and wide rose up from under the wall. Su Ci looked down and saw a box lying quietly inside.

It's finally okay!

Su Ci was overjoyed and was about to reach out to take it, but just as she moved, she suddenly felt Yang Yanzong beside her pause.

Her heart skipped a beat. What happened?

Yang Yanzong suddenly stood up and turned around!

Su Ci suddenly turned around and saw a person stepping out of the dark corridor at the end of the hall opposite the long table.

There was a slight light in the sky through the gap. The man was tall and slender, wearing a blood-stained dark purple robe. He had clear eyebrows and a graceful face. His slender fingers stroked the sword at his waist, and his movements were as graceful as playing a piano. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he stared at Su Ci and the secret compartment behind her, and his smile deepened.

His eyes then moved to Yang Yanzong. Although this man was smiling, there was a sudden chill between the two of them, as if a storm was about to come.

In this huge underground stone hall, you can hear a pin drop!

This is Ji Yuanhao.

He and Yang Yanzong deceived and lured each other, tracked and intimidated each other, each using his own methods, but in the end neither of them deceived the other.

Ji Yuanhao had few manpower, and after getting rid of Zhu Lianming, he immediately returned to the hall.

It turned out to be just as he expected!
