It was very low and narrow, and an adult had to bend over and turn sideways to pass through. Ye Xinran and Gu Yanming walked through this narrow road, and when they reached a slightly wider passage where they could walk normally, they saw Mr. Yan waiting there.
At this moment, Mr. Yan no longer had his usual playful and funny look, but became expressionless and indifferent.
After looking at Ye Xinran, he walked to the other side of the passage.
Ye Xinran quickly followed and called out softly, "Uncle Master..."
Mr. Yan did not respond.
Ye Xinran was about to call again, but was stopped by Gu Yanming.
"Princess," Gu Yanming shook his head solemnly. "Just follow me."
Ye Xinran frowned and nodded, silently following behind Old Yan, shuttling through this maze-like place.
Not long after, they met the people who were rescued by Gu Yanming.
Gu Yanming greeted them and motioned for them to follow him.
A few people nodded and followed silently at the back.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the entrance of the cave. It was already dawn outside.
The soft morning light shone on everyone, adding a touch of warmth and a feeling of surviving a disaster.
Mr. Yan suddenly said to the people following behind him.
"We can go down the mountain from here and return safely." Mr. Yan thought for a moment and added, "After we return, take your family away as soon as possible."
Those who were rescued were overjoyed. Although they were all grown men, their eyes were filled with tears and they kowtowed to Gu Yanming and the other three.
"Thank you for saving my life!"
"Thanks……"
Gu Yanming quickly stepped forward to help him up and said gently, "You're welcome, let's go, don't waste time!"
Shang Yu was relatively calm, and just bowed to the side. Without saying anything more, he turned around, said goodbye, and left. It was quick and decisive.
After they left, Old Yan entered the cave again and headed in another direction.
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran hurried to follow.
Ye Xinran looked at the map and frowned slightly. Master Yan was taking them deeper into the back mountain!
What is he going to do?
What surprised Ye Xinran even more was that Mr. Yan seemed to know this place very well. After making many detours, he arrived at the fork and entered a passage without any hesitation. He did not encounter any traps along the way.
Ye Xinran looked at Gu Yanming behind her.
Gu Yanming shook his head. He didn't know what was going on.
Not long after he rescued those people, he encountered a group of men in black who were patrolling. Fortunately, he had the aphrodisiac pills given by the princess.
He took advantage of the black-clad men's carelessness and threw them directly at them. The black-clad men fell down, and all of them were slashed by his neck. He also looked at the bottom of their feet, but there was nothing there.
But before long, two more men in black came, and this time they brought with them a few villagers who were simply dressed and covered in wounds.
This time, Gu Yanming did not use any incense pills, but took direct action to kill them.
Knowing that it was not suitable to stay here for long, he could only lead people to walk into the passage. After a while, he got lost and didn't know where he was. He was also worried about Ye Xinran's safety.
Just when they were getting a little anxious, they suddenly saw a person coming from the opposite side. Before they could hide, the person came to them in an instant.
When he looked, it turned out to be his master.
Later, the master took them there and found Ye Xinran. He didn't know why the master was so familiar with this place.
The two followed Mr. Yan for another half an hour before finally seeing a light ahead. They walked further ahead, parted the grass, and soon left the cave.
When their eyes adjusted to the light outside, they found that they were standing in the middle of a cliff, where a large rock protruded. There was no way to go left, right, front, or back.
Looking across the cliff, Ye Xinran widened his eyes and looked ahead in disbelief.
Opposite them stood a steep mountain, and through the cracks in the mountain one could see a city stretching for miles, with ruined buildings and dilapidated houses.
Could this be the fiefdom of King Xiaoyao of the previous dynasty that the old couple talked about?
What shocked her even more was the dense crowds of people in the open space in the city center.
Ye Xinran quickly took out a telescope from the space and looked over.
"Are those soldiers?" Ye Xinran looked at the people wearing the same clothes in shock.
Gu Yanming also took out the telescope that Ye Xinran gave him and looked over.
"They are indeed soldiers!" Gu Yanming gritted his teeth, "There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 of them!"
"Twenty or thirty thousand!" Ye Xinran turned her head to look at Gu Yanming! Only then did she realize that Mr. Yan, who was standing between them, was staring at her telescope eagerly. But he didn't say anything.
This old man is actually being serious? Anyway, this doesn't suit him at all...
After Ye Xinran complained in her heart, she couldn't stand his fiery gaze anymore and could only hand the telescope over to him.
Mr. Yan didn't hesitate to take it and looked over like them, and was shocked.
You can see it from such a distance! And you can see it so clearly?
Even the hair on the mole on the face of the person standing in the front can be seen clearly!
Ye Xinran didn't know why Mr. Yan suddenly became so unfathomable, which made her very uncomfortable. She didn't care about him. She took out a telescope from the space and looked into the distance.
Mr. Yan seemed to have discovered a new world. He looked around with a telescope and saw herbs in the distance and wild rabbits running in the mountains!
Mr. Yan simply couldn't let it go and was thinking about how he could take it down and not return it to Ye Xinran.
The three of them stood on the top of the hill and observed carefully.
"Gurgle!" Ye Xinran was hungry, so she took out a bag of bread and started eating.
Suddenly a hand stretched out in front of her, and she didn't think much about it and directly handed over a bag of bread.
After finishing the bread in his hand, he reacted. Turning his head, he saw Mr. Yan sitting on the ground at some point, holding the last piece of bread in his mouth and studying the plastic bag in his hand.
