Gu Xin thought to herself, if she had the idea of leaving things for others while she was in this cave, she would have just burned the things and wouldn't have bothered to clean them up properly. If there were no traces on the outside, it would mean that the things had been taken a long way, which would be troublesome!
Seeing that she had thought of this, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "So, we might all be wrong. Maybe no one has ever lived here, or maybe they just stayed for a while without lighting a fire. Of course, if there were any secret passages or other entrances here, then it would be even more impossible for this place to be so clean. Secret passages are all about being hidden; if you don't want others to find out, the messier the better, it's impossible for it to be so clean."
Gu Xin's eyes darted around: "Brother Yuanyuan thinks like a normal person. If there really is a secret passage, then the person who built it would have operated in reverse according to normal people's thinking. Didn't he succeed? He built a secret passage here, so everyone thinks it's impossible for there to be a secret passage here."
Lu Zheng was taken aback.
That makes sense. However, after looking around, he really didn't find any traps.
If Xin Xin is right, then what was the purpose of the person who built this secret passage?
This is not some other place in the Great Zhou Dynasty; it is the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Apart from the two countries across the Kun River, there are three other countries bordering Kunzhou.
Lu Zheng immediately started speculating about conspiracy theories.
In this life, he arrived in Kunzhou a few years earlier than in his previous life, and many things have changed. He will not view the events of this life entirely through the lens of his memories from his previous life.
So, just to be on the safe side, he called Bai Er over, intending to investigate further.
He told Gu Xin his idea, and Gu Xin naturally agreed.
The two held hands and went outside to eat. After eating, they invited Bai Er and Gu Si to join them in entering the cave.
Many hands make light work, and since this cave isn't very big, let's all search together.
I really checked it inch by inch, and it's just an ordinary cave with no traps or mechanisms.
Although Lu Zheng was relieved, he still planned to mention it to General Peng tonight and keep an eye on things from time to time.
He was certain that what Gu Xin saw was indeed a person; animals wouldn't deliberately make a cave so clean and tidy.
After inspecting the cave, the group went outside to play.
The weather was lovely today, with a gentle breeze and bright sunshine. Gu Xin took out her kite and flew it on the flat ground where they had built a snowman last year.
Gu Si and Zheng Ling and Meng Yan were in one group, Gu Xin and Lu Zheng were in another group, and Bai Er was in a group by himself.
They even turned it into a competition.
Bai Er looked at Lu Zheng and muttered to himself, wondering if his boss would be so angry he'd vomit blood if he knew that he, the leader of the Thousand Blades Sect, was following a master who was almost twenty and still wanted to fly kites.
Anyway, Bai Er understood that as long as Miss Gu wanted to play something, Young Master Lu would never refuse.
Hearing the laughter of the girls around him, Bai Er sighed, threw the kite into the air, turned and ran for a while, then started walking backwards and slowly letting out the line.
It was Gu Xin's first time flying a kite. With Lu Zheng's help, her kite flew the highest. Holding the spool of string, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits: "Brother Yuanyuan, come here and let's hold it together. The wind is too strong, I'm going to be blown away!"
Lu Zheng: "...Okay!"
Gu Xin smiled even more triumphantly. "I want to be a girl who can be blown away by the wind. I'm so delicate, even more delicate than Miss Yin!"
