Seeing that she wasn't very interested, Zhen Wanwan didn't force her. In any case, once they got to the city, she would have plenty of time to keep bothering her.
It's also a good opportunity to check her background and her own abilities.
The passage was very narrow, barely enough for one person to pass through. Because of the cramped space, the air circulation was very slow, and Zhen Wanwan became flushed and breathless after walking for a while.
She suddenly looked at Old Master Cui and Old Madam Cui behind her; their faces were already very grim.
Zhen Wanwan was worried that they might die from lack of oxygen halfway there.
Thinking of this, she instantly became a little unsettled.
Noticing this, Cui Jinyi was also very anxious. She loosened the collars of the clothes of Old Master Cui and Old Madam Cui.
"Madam Zhen, how much longer until we can get out of here?"
Through their conversations along the way, Cui Jinyi had come to call Zhen Wanwan "Zhen Niangzi".
Zhen Wanwan looked at the all-purpose exploration device in her hand, pursed her lips, and realized that they had only gone a quarter of the way!
If things get to the later stages, won't they just faint from lack of oxygen in the tunnel?
Zhen Wanwan shook off the fantasy in her mind, wondering whether Tmall Genie would sell oxygen cylinders.
Everyone noticed the unusual situation and quickened their pace, eager to get out as soon as possible.
Lu Yunshen and his men had arrived at a secluded spot in the city. They pressed some switch, and a stone gate suddenly appeared in a section of the artificial hill.
He walked in without hesitation. After he entered, the stone door closed again. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary artificial rockery.
Zhen Wanwan and the others walked for an unknown distance, and seeing that the all-powerful explorer had already gone halfway, Zhen Wanwan was exhausted.
She wanted to sit down and rest, but the air was thin, and she was already feeling dizzy from lack of oxygen. It wouldn't be good if she fell asleep after stopping.
What made her feel a sense of urgency was that when she inquired about the Tmall Genie oxygen cylinder, the answer she received was negative.
That's why she was in such a hurry to get out; she felt she might go crazy walking in such a confined space.
"Wait! Someone's coming!"
When Lü Yunshen arrived at the entrance of the secret passage, he felt extremely annoyed.
He frowned, looking at the person next to him with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Why is it so stuffy? Didn't you turn on the ventilation?"
The guard beside him was stunned for a moment, then his face showed a look of horror. He replied in a trembling voice, "I was wrong. I forgot to open the ventilation vent!"
"What!"
Lu Yunshen glared at the guard and roared, "Are you out of your mind! Do you know who that person is?! It's the master's wife! Your mistress!"
The guard was already drenched in cold sweat from fear. He dared not imagine what kind of punishment he would receive from Zhu Yuan if anything happened to the mistress.
Lu Yunshen sighed, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "Go and open the ventilation vents! You two come with me to greet the Madam!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Yunshen watched the guard who opened the ventilation vent leave before leading the remaining people, quickening his pace towards the other end of the passage.
This passage was left over from the previous dynasty. The Prince of Anqing's fiefdom was located here. It is unknown what his considerations were when he left this passage.
Over the next ten years, money was spent to repair the passage.
Even after he left, the passage was secretly protected by his trusted confidants.
