Chapter 87 Underwater Chamber
There are many undercurrents under the Yanshan Mountains. If they were really swept away by the undercurrents, no one knows where they would be washed to, and it would be difficult to search for them.
In the end, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing, Li Mucheng and Li Muyuan, Ling Luojin and Ling Yu led three teams respectively to search along the undercurrent under Yanshan Mountain.
By the time it was getting dark, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing still hadn't found anything. They hadn't received any signals from them, so they probably didn't find anything over there either.
As the sky gradually darkened, even the temperature dropped a lot. Baili Yanqing put his cloak on Su Chenyu and said, "If this continues, the temperature will get lower and lower."
The temperature gets lower as the night progresses. If they remain unconscious, they might freeze to death. We must find them as soon as possible.
"Let's keep going forward." Su Chenyu didn't dare to delay and continued to walk down the undercurrent.
When Jian Suining woke up, he felt shaky. He stared at the low cave above his head, listened to the gurgling sound of water, and realized that he was on a boat. He wanted to sit up, but after moving a little, he found that he was tied up with ropes.
Lian Qing, who was sitting at the bow, heard the noise and turned to look at Jian Suining who was lying in the cabin: "Prime Minister Jian, you are awake."
Jian Suining stopped struggling in vain, and was not surprised when he saw that it was Lian Qing. When Lian Qing knocked him off the cliff, he knew that this matter was not that simple.
"What do you want to do?" Jian Suining quickly calmed down.
Lian Qing's face was half hidden in the darkness, and his tone was inexplicably strange: "Of course I will take you to where you should go."
In just this moment, Jian Suining understood what Lian Qing meant: "After the Lian family fell into disgrace, you defected to Xixia?"
"People always strive for higher goals." Lian Qing knew that the Lian family had fallen on hard times, so she didn't want to marry those ordinary people. They would never live a happy life, so she had to plan for herself.
The boat hit the mountain wall and was blocked. There was no way forward.
Lian Qing knocked on the side of the boat three times, and a man emerged from the water. He looked at the person lying on the boat and asked, "Jian Suining?"
"Yes." Lian Qing had just answered when the man pulled Jian Suining off the boat and into the water. He then looked at Lian Qing and said, "What are you waiting for? Get down by yourself!"
The man covered Jian Suining's mouth and nose and sank with him to the bottom of the water. Lian Qing did not hesitate and jumped into the water. Not long after they disappeared, the boat also slowly sank...
It was already completely dark, and the guards were still searching with torches lit. Someone came to report, "Master, Prince Consort, we just followed this undercurrent and found that the road ahead was blocked."
"No way?"
"No, this is a dead end. Do you want to change direction?"
Su Chenyu thought for a while and said, "I'll go take a look first."
At first, we could walk on the shore, but after entering the cave, we had to take a boat. Soon, the boat reached the cave wall, and the guard leading the way said, "Master, there is no way ahead."
Su Chenyu sniffed the air and pushed Baili Yanqing's arm: "Do you smell saltpeter?"
The smell of saltpeter is very light, and if Su Chenyu hadn't been careful, she might not have noticed it.
After Su Chenyu's reminder, Baili Yanqing also noticed the faint smell of saltpeter in the air. He frowned and looked for the source of the saltpeter smell: "The saltpeter smell in this water seems to be stronger."
In the cave, the undercurrent appeared black, and under the light of the torch, it looked like a monster with its mouth wide open.
After staring at the river for a long time, Su Chenyu made up her mind: "Yan Qing, I want to go down and take a look."
