"Well, okay! It's possible that something is really left behind." Ye Xinran's eyes were full of green light. Since she had come across it, she would not be polite.
They walked around the area again and found two men in black in a farmyard in the corner of the village.
They hid quietly in the dark and watched the men in black take action.
One of the men in black said, "The master has instructed us to be alert if we encounter the exile team from Wucheng Palace. Don't show your true colors. They won't stay for long."
"It's also that guy's fault. He lost his temper and insisted on chasing after us. He deserved to be killed!" said another man in black.
"So what should we do? Just wait?"
"We will go back in the second half of the night. Don't come here recently. Even if someone finds out, they won't be able to find us."
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran listened to their words. Ye Xinran quietly used her mouth to signal, "Wait!" Gu Yanming nodded.
Gu Yanming looked at the man in black in deep thought. The people behind the man in black knew him and wanted to avoid him. It was conceivable that this place was very important to them.
The two hid in the dark. Ye Xinran was so sleepy that she leaned her head on Gu Yanming's shoulder and fell asleep. Gu Yanming held her waist to prevent her from sliding down. He also kept an eye on the man in black.
He waited until the second half of the night until the man in black took action, then he woke up Ye Xinran, and then followed the man in black to the back mountain.
On the cliff at the back mountain, there was a cave blocked by plants. Ye Xinran and Gu Yanming carefully followed the man in black into the cave. After turning a few corners, they could no longer see the man in black.
Gu Yanming was startled and took out the flashlight that Ye Xinran had given him before. He lit up the cave and the two walked for a while, but still could not see the figure of the man in black. There were many forks in the cave.
Ye Xinran thought, it's not good to walk around like this, I need to use a map.
Suddenly, they hit something and their feet felt empty. Before they could react, they both fell down!
The ground returned to normal again.
Two men in black came out from a corner.
"As expected, the master is so good at predicting things! I didn't even notice someone was following me!"
"King Wucheng's martial arts are almost unrivaled in the world. It's strange that we can detect him. Let's go back and report to the master."
The two walked to the other side of the passage.
Ye Xinran was held in Gu Yanming's arms and kept falling down. Fortunately, the flashlight in Gu Yanming's hand did not fall, so it could still illuminate. The space was about three meters square, vertically downward, surrounded by flat walls, and there was no place to stand.
Gu Yanming quickly took out a sharp dagger and stabbed it into the wall to slow down his descent, but it didn't help much. After a while, the dagger couldn't withstand the force and broke. They fell quickly again.
But this also gave Ye Xinran time to react. She thought quickly, gritted her teeth, and took out a large wardrobe from the space.
With a "clang" sound, it got stuck in the middle of the passage.
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran fell on the wardrobe with a bang, causing the wardrobe to fall several meters further.
Even with the preparation, Ye Xinran still felt dizzy, not to mention Gu Yanming, who took him a long time to get up.
Gu Yanming shone the flashlight around and looked at the thing under his feet, his face full of confusion.
"It's really strange, the bottom of this trap is actually... a wardrobe???"
Ye Xinran's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything.
"Why do you look so familiar?" Gu Yanming took Ye Xinran's hand and said to her in surprise.
"It's exactly the same as the one in my room! Look, there are still traces of the scratches I made by accident!"
Ye Xinran also took a closer look, and sure enough, it was collected from their new house during the exile! This was embarrassing.
"This one is definitely just more similar!" Ye Xinran said reluctantly.
Gu Yanming nodded.
"Our wardrobe is made of golden nanmu wood!" Gu Yanming sighed, "It was my mother's dowry. I heard it was a genuine item made by Master Wu himself! There are only three sets in total! It's very valuable! It's probably been confiscated now! It can't be here. I guess I saw it wrong."
After thinking about it, Gu Yanming stepped on it hard.
With a "hiss", the cabinet dropped another half meter.
Ye Xinran was startled and quickly grabbed Gu Yanming: "Don't step on it, you will fall down!"
She gave an ugly smile and said, "I guess this is not the bottom, the bottom is still below!"
Gu Yanming was startled, and looked down through the gap between the cabinet and the wall. It was pitch black. He could not see anything.
Ye Xinran was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she took out a flare from the space and threw it down.
The two saw the flame of the flare falling down, and after waiting for a long time, they heard the sound of it landing on the ground. Then they heard the sound of many things rubbing against the ground.
"Uh, Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, there is a snake cave below!"
Gu Yanming pursed his lips. If it was just him, it wouldn't matter what happened, but there was also the princess. He had to find a way to take the princess out.
"It's not possible down there, we can only go out from the top." Gu Yanming said seriously.
Ye Xinran nodded.
Gu Yanming shone the flashlight upwards, but it was still pitch black and he couldn't see the top.
After all, they had fallen a long way.
Ye Xinran thought about it and decided to give Gu Yanming some psychological support.
"Your Highness, um, didn't you say before that I can use sleight of hand?"
Gu Yanming nodded. He still remembered that the princess had made so much gold, silver and other things disappear, which really scared him.
"In fact, I can also conjure things!" Ye Xinran lied. "So, Your Majesty, don't be too surprised. Of course, don't tell anyone else!"
Gu Yanming stared at Ye Xinran, "Is the princess going to transform something outside?"
If the princess could really conjure up things, then he would conclude that the princess was a fairy.
Ye Xinran felt her back crawling with fear when he stared at her, but she had no other choice in order to get out.
She took out the elevator from the space and pressed the switch. The ladder automatically rose until they could no longer see it.
Gu Yanming's eyes widened. This! This is so useful! It is more useful than the ladders they used on the battlefield. It looks light, small, and can rise very high.
Now, it is confirmed that the princess is a fairy! No wonder she knows everything! There are so many things she has never seen!
Gu Yanming felt that he must have done good deeds in his previous life or the life before that, so God sent a fairy to his side in this life.
"Your Highness, please go up the ladder first! I'll cover you!" Ye Xinran said.
Gu Yanming frowned and shook his head in disapproval. "Princess, you go first! I'll cover you!"
Seeing that he insisted, Ye Xinran turned her eyes and said, "I'm afraid there is danger up there, so Your Majesty should lead the way!"
Gu Yanming thought about it and realized that Ye Xinran was just making an excuse, but he was also afraid that there really was an ambush, so he sighed.
"You must follow me closely! I'll go ahead and take a look at the situation first."
Ye Xinran nodded.
