Chapter 276 Living worse than a beggar
Xu Muhua changed to an ordinary carriage this time, and the monkey king also took a ride in the carriage. He was so curious in the carriage that if Xu Muhua hadn't stopped him, he would have lifted the top of the carriage!
After arriving, he went directly through the small door, and there was no need to worry about being seen.
The monkey king led her to the location of the tunnel.
They were quite smart. They knew to use something to disguise the tunnel after digging it.
After tearing off the disguise, the tunnel was exposed.
Liang Ming and Wu'er looked at each other and were a little frightened.
Miss (eldest lady) what are you doing? Why dig a tunnel in a house?
It looks like you are preparing to do something bad!
Liang Ming felt that the cold sweat on his forehead was about to come out again.
Sure enough, the young lady can't stay still for too long!
Wu'er was also a little worried, but she is a staunch follower of Xu Muhua! She only considers what Xu Muhua is going to do, and doesn't consider whether it is appropriate or dangerous.
Of course, she is worried, and she doesn't want to see the young lady get into trouble. But if the young lady wants to do it, she will help her keep watch!
Seeing the tunnel, Xu Muhua was about to jump down - Liang Ming stopped her quickly.
Xu Muhua: "Something wrong?"
"...Young lady, what are you doing? Where does this tunnel lead to? Is it safe? Is it dangerous? What if someone finds out?"
He wants to protect the young lady!
"Don't worry, no one will find out. As for where the tunnel leads to, if you are interested, let's go together!"
Wu'er heard this and said quickly, "Miss, I will go with you! I am strong, and if we encounter any danger in the tunnel, I can still stop it."
Liang Ming also stood up immediately, "I will go with you too!"
Xu Muhua saw this and said with a smile, "Look at how nervous you are. If you don't know, you would think I am going to open a tunnel to the palace!"
"Miss!"
"Big Miss!"
Wu'er looked at her helplessly. How dare Miss say anything out loud? She is so outspoken!
"Hehe, we are all family, it won't be a problem, I won't tell anyone outside. Okay, don't worry. Let's do this, Liang Ming, you stay and guard it, we all go in together, what if someone comes in and finds out? Wu'er, follow us!"
Liang Ming felt that what she said made sense, someone had to be left behind to guard the entrance, it was indeed unsafe for everyone to go in.
"Okay, I'll stay and guard it!" After everything
was arranged, Xu Muhua, Wu'er, and the Monkey King entered the tunnel.
Why bring the Monkey King along? Xu Muhua and the two girls didn't feel safe either, with the Monkey King around, they could at least handle some of the trouble.
If someone found out, they would push it out as a shield, and at most people would be surprised why there was a monkey here. They would never think that the monkey followed outsiders in to get information intentionally.
This way they will definitely be able to fool people.
The tunnel is indeed quite wide, Xu Muhua and Wu'er can walk side by side in the tunnel. It's just too short, so they have to use their hands and feet. But they are professionals after all, and the tunnel is dug flat and smooth, not rubbing the feet at all!
Wu'er finally understood why the lady had specifically told her to bring knee pads before going out! It turned out that they were going to crawl in the tunnel! Without knee pads, their knees would be damaged if they crawled like this!
There is no light in the tunnel, so they can only crawl in the direction of the tunnel. Considering that the journey is not very far, Xu Muhua did not bring any lighting tools - in fact, she couldn't bring any even if she wanted to, the tunnel is so short, what could she use?
Oh, if she had a night pearl, that would be great!
She didn't know how long she had been climbing, but Xu Muhua felt exhausted before she finally saw a glimmer of light.
After seeing the light, she immediately climbed forward like a chicken with blood injected. Her speed was so fast that Wu'er behind her was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she quickly caught up with her!
Finally she climbed to the entrance of the cave. She carefully stuck her head out and saw an enlarged face of a turtle. She was shocked! She
climbed out using her hands and feet, followed by Wu'er, and finally the Monkey King.
Compared with the wolf-like Xu Muhua and Wu'er, the Monkey King was much better!
"Is this turtle the turtle that Xiaoban mentioned?"
Xu Muhua squatted down.
"It should be."
The Monkey King replied.
"Let's do our work first!"
Wu'er put down the tools on his back. The Monkey King used his natural climbing ability to reach the mouth of the well in a few steps and tied the rope. Xu Muhua used the rope to climb out of the well, and finally Wu'er.
As soon as they got out of the well, all they saw was desolation! It didn't look like an inhabited yard at all, but rather a yard that had been abandoned for a long time.
And there was no one in sight, and no sound of people coming and going.
But this just made it convenient for them to do things.
"Wu'er, you stay outside and keep an eye out. If you see someone coming, notify me immediately."
Wu'er didn't know what the young lady was going to do, but still nodded obediently: "Miss, don't worry, I'll pay attention!"
Based on the clues provided by Daban and Xiaoban, Xu Muhua quickly found the room where the man was locked up.
She pushed the door tentatively at first. There was no movement inside, so she carefully pushed the half-closed door open.
As soon as the door was opened, she smelled a suffocating smell! Xu Muhua subconsciously held her breath and hid aside. After a while, she walked in fearlessly.
The man locked with iron chains did not move at all when he heard the movement, like a wooden sculpture. There were windows in the room, but they were sealed and covered with opaque cloth. As a result, only the door had light coming in, making the room look very dark.
It was just as Daban and Xiaoban said, the man was even worse than a beggar!
"Hello, can you hear me?"
Xu Muhua asked as she slowly approached the man.
The man was still motionless, his long, messy hair hanging down, completely covering his face. It was impossible to see what he looked like, nor what expression he had on his face.
It's almost impossible to tell which side is the front and which is the back.
Xu Muhua muttered for several sentences, but the man didn't respond. She was worried, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
If this man is the prince consort, he will definitely react to the three words "princess"!
She rolled her eyes and said casually: "Oh, it's so boring. I wouldn't have come here secretly if I had known. It's better to go to the princess's mansion and talk to the princess, and listen to her talk about the prince consort's past!"
