Chapter 61: Canyon Universe
Several of Azhuoxin's men found ropes and wooden boards and quickly dragged the dead horse away.
While they were asking for favors, they were also joking that the best thing to do in this weather is to eat roasted horse meat.
Horses are very important resources in every force. Normally, no one would be willing to eat horses. Only at times like this can they enjoy a snack.
However, these people were not stupid. Since a horse had broken into the valley, the owner of the horse might be around, so they left more than half of them to guard the entrance of the valley.
After observing the situation, Shen Yu gestured to everyone to retreat.
Wen Wan didn't understand and looked at him in confusion.
Shen Yu patted her shoulder soothingly and pulled her wrist back.
It was not until they were at the back of the valley, far away from Azhuoxin and the others, that Wen Wan finally asked patiently.
"What are your plans?"
Shen Yu smiled briefly, raised his hand and touched her head, "Not bad, you've made progress. This time you didn't ask me why I didn't go in and save people right away."
Wen Wan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm not stupid. It's a bad idea to just rush in and start a direct fight."
"You are a teachable young man." Shen Yu restrained his expression. "Although I don't understand Feng Shui and can't read the shape of the mountains, I have studied military tactics for many years and have some insight into the terrain."
When it comes to military strategy, it depends on both talent and accumulation.
Wen Wan can use some clever tricks, but she wouldn't dare say she's good at them.
Wen Wan: "So, there was something wrong with that place just now?"
Shen Yu nodded. "This canyon is steep and long, and it's snowing heavily. If we want to set up camp, it's the most taboo place. But that place is obviously the long-term camp of Azhuoxin and others."
After he reminded her of this, Wen Wan immediately understood.
"You mean... there's a secret in that valley?"
"Yes." Chen Yu frowned slightly. "Why would Azhuoxin risk setting up camp here? What on earth is in this valley?"
Wen Wan pursed her lips and asked solemnly, "Do you want to sneak in?"
Shen Yu's heart was slightly rippled, and he felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had met a close friend.
Except for the military advisor in the border town garrison, he hadn't communicated with anyone so easily for a long time.
In this world, Wen Wan is the second person who can immediately follow his thoughts.
Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "Since they have captured Wen En, and I am his nominal 'grandfather', then it is understandable for me to go find my grandson, right?"
"It's too risky."
Wen Wan felt that it was inappropriate, and the others around her also shook their heads, expressing their disagreement with his approach.
Their reaction was even greater than Wen Wan's. Chen Yu was their backbone. They would rather take on such a dangerous task themselves than let him take the risk.
Shen Yu was very persistent, "It's settled. This is a military order!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Wen Wan was worried, but they had no choice but to obey.

It was just dawn, and at the entrance of the canyon, an old man with a hunched back was staggering forward on the snow.
He seemed to have been walking for a long time, his body was staggering, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, the people guarding on both sides of the valley exchanged glances and pulled the bowstrings to their full extent. As long as they loosened their fingers, the arrow would pierce the old man's chest.
Suddenly, the old man fell on his back with a thud.
The people drawing the bows were stunned. They hadn't even started to make a move yet, and this man fell down on his own?
Then several people slowly walked around the old man.
Someone recognized him immediately.
"Hey, isn't this the old man from the Lian family?"
"Oh, it really is. He really came."
"His grandson was kidnapped by Master Xin, so shouldn't he be found?"
"Master Xin was just worried about not having any way to threaten that handsome boy, and now his grandfather has come to him. This is really great."
As several people spoke, they carried Shen Yu into the valley.
"Grandpa! Let me go!"
Wen Wan ran and shouted, and couldn't help complaining in her heart.
Why does this line sound like Calabash Brothers?
When a few people turned around, they saw a pockmarked girl stumbling towards them. Perhaps because the snow was too thick, the girl's movements were clumsy and she fell.
"Oh, it's true that fools give birth to a litter. Grandpa is a loser, and this granddaughter is also a loser."
Several people didn't take Wen Wan seriously at all and immediately burst into laughter.
Wen Wan climbed up from the snow and rushed to the men angrily, "Did you capture my brother? Let my brother go, and let my grandfather go!"
Several people sneered, and one of them directly put a knife to her neck, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will chop your neck directly."
Wen Wan: “…”
She was very straightforward and straightforward, without any hesitation.
When they saw her cowardly look, they laughed even louder.

There is indeed a different world in the valley.
It turned out that a stone cave was dug out in the middle of the valley. The entrance of the cave was not small, about three meters long and wide, and ordinary carriages could enter and exit normally.
After entering the cave, it will soon be divided into seven or eight small passages.
Wen Wan and Shen Yu were taken into the passage on the far right. The light in the passage was very dim and the air was filled with a damp stench.
After passing through the passage, there are rows of cells.
Wen Wan and Shen Yu were thrown into one of the rooms by these people at random.
As soon as they left, Shen Yu opened his eyes, and his sharp and angry gaze fell on her face.
"Are you crazy? Who asked you to follow me? Don't you know where this is? What if something happens?"
The series of questions were caused by his concern.
Wen Wan listened, but she was not anxious at all, "If you want to scold me, go ahead, I'm here anyway."
"..." Shen Yu was so angry that his teeth itched
After Wen Wan retorted, she softened her tone, "We have no relationship at all, yet you risked your life to come in and save him. I'm his sister after all, how could I really be so cowardly?"
Chen Yu said coldly: "You and he are not related at all, not siblings."
"I said it is. You are a pretty good person, how come you have such a big mouth?"
Seeing that he was about to retort again, Wen Wan raised her hand to stop him, "Stop. There are too many people here, let's not waste time arguing. If there is anything to settle, let's talk about it after we get out."
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, "Okay! When we get out, I'm going to give you a good spanking."
Wen Wan: “…”
She didn't believe that he really dared to beat her. It was just a bluff.
In addition to them, there were many other people imprisoned in the dungeon, but even with so many people, the entire cell was very quiet, without any sound at all.
There was no shouting, no irritation, and even those people were either sitting or lying down, rarely moving.
It seems like a living dead who has completely lost the desire to live.
Wen Wan's scalp tingled as she watched, and she shrank closer to Chen Yu without leaving a trace.
Shen Yu sneered, "Are you scared now?"
Wen Wan raised her head and said stubbornly, "I'm not scared, just a little cold."
