Chapter 306: The Goddess on the Changsheng Stage
The air was filled with dancing dust, and every breath felt like spitting out mud.
Wen Wan took out the night pearl as soon as she entered the cave, but unfortunately there was too much dust and she still couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
Stones fell in the cave from time to time, and there was a constant roaring sound from the depths where stones fell.
Wen Wan walked in front and looked at the three different passages ahead with a frown.
She turned around and asked the Mobei guards directly.
"Did your Highness leave any mark?"
Several guards were shocked. "You're not a mute girl? You can actually speak?"
Wen Wan said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about this later. Since you are His Highness's confidants, you must recognize the mark he left behind, right?"
Before the guards could admire him, one of them stood up.
Wen Wan took a closer look and found that this man was the bearded man who was pulled off the horse by Shen Yu outside the valley.
The bearded man walked forward and looked at the entrances of the three passages, then pointed to the one on the right.
"Your Highness is taking this path."
Wen Wan did not delay any longer and led a few people into the passage.

The further she walked, the more frightened Wen Wan became.
In just a few days, the people of Mobei were able to dig out mines of such a large scale. Moreover, the directions of these mines perfectly avoided the hard rocks. It was simply a miracle.
If these are all the work of "Master Zhang", then we have to say that "Master Zhang" is really a capable person.
But no matter how capable Master Zhang is, Wen Wan's understanding of Wen En is not enough to make him willing to take the risk.
If you think about it carefully, Wen En values Master Zhang because he values these mineral veins.
Why are these mineral veins so important to Winn?
Wen Wan was thinking as she walked, her thoughts were in a mess. The further she went in, the thinner the air became, and her thinking became gradually duller.
The fear deep in my memory gradually emerged...
“Mmmm… Mmmm…”
Wenwan murmured, her voice choked with sobs, but her eyes were extremely firm.
Every few steps the group took, they could find marks left by Winn.
After walking for a distance, everyone had to stop because there was a dead end ahead.
The bearded man bent down to wipe the marks on the ground, then looked up in disbelief.
"That's impossible! This is clearly the mark left by His Highness! His Highness took this path."
Wen Wan squatted down beside him and looked at a simple, inconspicuous pattern next to his finger.
She frowned, stood up, raised the night pearl and wiped it against the surrounding stone walls.
Several Mobei guards were confused and saw Wen Wan raising her hand and knocking on the stone wall continuously.
Suddenly, she stopped and gave a cold order.
“Dig here!”
The guards became increasingly confused and stood still for a moment.
It was the bearded man who immediately scolded his companion in a stern voice.
"Mr. Min told us to listen to the girl! So we just listen!"
Some people were dissatisfied and whispered: "But she is a decent woman..."
The bearded man sneered, "She is not an ordinary Duanchao woman."
The bearded man's words not only shocked his companions, but also surprised Wen Wan.
Is he saying something with a hidden meaning?
Unexpectedly, the bearded man continued, "Outside the valley, I thought she just looked like a goddess, but seeing Mr. Min's attitude earlier, I guessed that she might actually be a goddess."
goddess?
What is going on here?
Wen Wan became more and more confused the more she listened.
A guard was also stunned when he heard the word "goddess".
"Big Beard, the goddess you're talking about, could it be the same goddess that His Highness enshrines on the Changsheng Platform?"
The bearded man nodded, "Exactly."
Several people looked at each other, then stared at Wen Wan carefully. After a closer look, several people suddenly gasped.
Then, without saying a word, several people picked up their swords and started digging the stone wall.
Wen Wan saw that everyone was working hard, but what the previous people said was on her mind.
goddess?
Changshengtai?
Could it be that Wen En has secretly set up an altar for longevity in the past two years to pray for her?
"Yeah..." Wen Wan choked, her eyes instantly turning red.

The more the guards dug, the more frightened they became. They could easily dig a hole in these stone walls that looked no different from any other place.
"The cave collapsed everywhere before, and the terrain has changed. If nothing unexpected happens, this should have been the entrance to a passage."
Knowing that they were confused, Wen Wan simply gave them the answer, allowing them to dig with peace of mind.
After a while, a hole one person wide was dug through, and at the other end of the hole, there was indeed a passage.
The bearded man's eyes gradually brightened as he looked at Wenwan.
"The girl has good means."
Wen Wan didn't say much. She was a professional digger. If she couldn't even tell the new and old soil, wouldn't all the years she spent in college be in vain?
What they didn't expect was that after walking along the passage for a while, they heard groaning sounds.
“Someone!”
The bearded man bravely rushed forward and soon saw five or six miners lying in a mess at the edge of a spacious passage ahead.
They were covered in dust and dying, but when they saw Wen Wan and her group, their faces were filled with a desire to survive.
Wen Wan was sharp-eyed and noticed a small porcelain bottle at the feet of these people.
There was the emblem of the Mobei Royal Court on the porcelain vase.
"Is this given to you by His Highness?" Wen Wan asked as she picked up the small porcelain bottle.
The injured miner nodded, looking grateful when he mentioned Winn.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness. Your Highness said this is a life-saving pill, and asked us to hold on for a while. If someone comes to save us, it means we won't die!"
Wen Wan asked anxiously, "Where are the others?"
The person who answered pointed in a direction.
Wen Wan immediately ordered, "Leave one person behind to lead them out, so that His Highness's efforts will not be in vain. The rest of you, continue with me."
Now, several guards have followed Wen Wan's lead and immediately acted according to her orders.
Unfortunately, as soon as they turned the corner and saw the dead end in front of them, their mood sank to the bottom again.
Below the dead-end road is an underground river with a whirlpool in the middle and traces of artificial excavation on the edge of the river.
Wen Wan: "From the topography, after this passage was dug through, it connected to the underground river. The river water flowed back into the adjacent passage, and the pressure change caused the cave collapse."
Several guards didn't understand what she said and were only concerned about one issue.
"The injured man said that His Highness was heading in this direction. Where is His Highness?"
"No, didn't he fall into the dark river?"
Speaking of this possibility, everyone's faces changed drastically.
If anything happens to His Highness, they will all be dead.
Wen Wan stared intently at the channel that flowed into the river water, and suddenly, her pupils shrank.
She raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at a palm-sized piece of cloth on the side of the aisle.
"W-What is that?"
The bearded man also saw it and panicked, "Your Highness! Your Highness is in that passage!"
