Few people?

If there are still people who are stupid enough to fall behind at a time like this, they are really careless.

"When was it discovered? Do you know who discovered it?"

Seeing that Su Changzhao asked questions in detail, Gu Qian couldn't help but admire him.

Generally speaking, in this situation, the higher-level decision makers will only care about whether to find someone or not.

But Su Changzhao did not say that he would not look for it, but he seized the opportunity to ask the key questions first.

She asked when the person was discovered missing, from which she could infer the approximate range of the missing person's activities after leaving.

Asking who it was specifically was to test Gu Qian's ability to respond.

If one reports a matter without even understanding the ins and outs of it, it only reflects one's lack of consideration and incompetence.

Fortunately, Gu Qian's answer satisfied Su Changzhao.

"The missing time is no more than one incense stick, because one incense stick ago, I have followed your instructions to count the number of people every once in a while to ensure that no one is left behind. As for who the person who fell behind is, this is also what I want to report." Gu Qian paused,

"It's very strange. Obviously, the number of people and personnel were strictly screened and included in the list. But after discovering that one person was missing, I asked the guards, but none of them recognized the missing guard."

"No one knows?" Su Changzhao asked in surprise.

"right."

Su Changzhao stroked his chin and guessed, "Could it be that he sneaked in?"

Gu Qian nodded: "I also guessed the same, so whether we should go find this person or not, I hope you can give me your advice."

“……”To be honest, Su Changzhao was a little speechless.

[There is a person of unknown background in your Fenglai team, which proves that it was your work error before going down to the pit. Now you let me make the decision and give the advice...]

Under normal circumstances, Su Changzhao would definitely not meddle in other people's business.

But the situation is different now. There may be hidden crises somewhere in the underground palace. Now we are all in the same boat and must unite.

Gu Qian also knew that it was her own fault. She was about to explain that this elite force was temporarily deployed and that Her Majesty the Empress had summoned them urgently, so she had no other choice. But before she could open her mouth, she heard Su Changzhao say:

"There must be a reason why this person quietly left the team. Send two people to look for him nearby. Don't make it public in advance. I will stop the main force and wait for you under the pretext of resting here."

"Yes, but what if we still can't find that person?"

"Don't panic. That person might be afraid of death. The underground palace is so strange. He might have deserted and returned the same way. There are sentinels left along the way. The people you send can find out whether that person has returned by asking the sentinels. On the contrary, if that person has not left, it proves that he came prepared."

"Your Excellency is right." Gu Qian suddenly realized and bowed, "Then I will go and get busy first."

Su Changzhao nodded, turned around and went back to the team to order them to rest on the spot.

Although Bai Longnu, Xiao Qinsu and Li Xing had doubts, since Su Changzhao didn't say anything, they didn't ask any further questions.

After all, after coming down from the underground palace, everyone was extremely nervous. They were already being watched by everyone, and if they gathered alone and whispered to each other, it would only cause panic among the people.

Su Changzhao found a place to sit down.

Yu Jiuchen came to his side quickly. When Gu Qian came to him before, he left consciously, but he never let Su Changzhao out of his sight.

This time when Su Changzhao is done with his work, he will of course come back and stay by her side.

Seeing Yu Jiuchen sitting down without saying a word.

Su Changzhao asked curiously, "You don't ask anything?"

"If you want to say it, you will say it yourself." Yu Jiuchen's voice is gentle.

"Haha." Su Changzhao smiled happily.

But after laughing, Su Changzhao quickly whispered, "There's one person missing from Fenglai's side."

"Um."

Seeing Yu Jiuchen's indifferent reaction, Su Changzhao understood.

[Oh, I forgot that he has practiced a unique skill. His hearing is very good now. The distance just now was not far. There is no reason why he couldn't hear it. ]

"Do you think we can find treasures in this underground palace?" Su Changzhao asked him.

“Heh~” Yu Jiuchen chuckled.

He wanted to say that he was not interested in any treasure, but when he thought about the last time Su Changzhao almost disappeared because of him and didn't want to look for treasure, he swallowed the words back.

"I think so." He changed the sentence to this.

[As expected of my Ah Heng, even his premonitions are so accurate~]

Su Changzhao said: "Ah Heng is the chosen one, and he will definitely achieve his wish."

She suddenly grabbed Yu Jiuchen's hand.

If it were someone else, Yu Jiuchen would have opened it long ago.

But the other person was his A Yao, the A Yao that he had been thinking about and admiring with all his heart.

So he placed his other hand on the back of her hand, then clasped his hands together, holding her slender hand tightly in his palms with great care.

Looking at the smile that Yu Jiuchen showed him, Su Changzhao always felt that there was a subtle hint of uneasiness in his expression.

Next second.

Su Changzhao hugged him.

"?!" Yu Jiuchen was shocked and surprised, "Ayao?"

"Don't be afraid, I won't disappear, and I won't leave you."

“…”

"Do you feel it? My body temperature, my voice, I'm right here..."

Feeling that his anxiety was understood by the other party, and being comforted by the other party at this moment, Yu Jiuchen hugged the other party back and tightened his arms, "...Yeah, me too."

Just at this moment.

“Ahem~”

Two dry coughs were heard from the side.

After Su Changzhao and Yu Jiuchen separated, they saw Bai Longnu, Xiao Qinsu and Li Xing all coming.

Su Changzhao straightened his clothes and asked, "Why are you all here?"

Bai Longnu first looked at Yu Jiuchen suspiciously. The more she looked at Yu Jiuchen, the more familiar he looked to her.

Unlike Xiao Qinsu and Li Xing who both knew Yu Jiuchen's identity, she was the only one present who didn't know, so she was the only one who was puzzled.

Xiao Qinsu replied, "Because we have been here for a long time, we want to take the opportunity to rest here and go to a nearby place to take care of our urgency. We came here to ask the Ghost King and the Queen if we need to form a team as well."

After saying this, he poked Bai Longnu, who was staring at Yu Jiuchen, with his elbow without leaving a trace.

"Ah~" Bai Longnu was suddenly hit by an elbow.

He covered the place where he was stabbed, feeling angry and hurt, but he had to agree with him despite the pain: "Yes, yes, yes."

Li Xing was standing behind the two girls and couldn't help laughing, but he never showed his emotions on his face. Even if he wanted to laugh, his smile was so small that you couldn't tell unless you looked closely.

However, Su Changzhao noticed that the way he looked at Xiao Qinsu became more gentle.

Su Changzhao: “…”

"Ayao, let's go too." Yu Jiuchen suggested in a gentle voice.

Su Changzhao looked at him and nodded, "Okay."

·

Considering that we will have to act in the underground palace later.

Everyone took this opportunity to tidy up a bit.

Su Changzhao and his group of five found a slightly remote place.

"Let's go to the right three. Lianyu, you guys go to the left. We'll meet here later." Su Changzhao said.

The other four nodded in agreement.

Then Yu Jiuchen and Li Xing went to the left, and Su Changzhao and Xiao and Bai went to the right.

Su Changzhao, Xiao and Bai each found a place to solve the problem.

But just as Su Changzhao finished solving the problem, he saw something emitting golden light in a corner not far away under the faint blue light.

This golden light is so out of place in the dark blue.

emmm……

Su Changzhao immediately showed an indifferent expression.

This is too obvious to attract people to find out.

Weren’t there many similar plots in novels and TV shows in the past?

Su Changzhao originally wanted to ignore it, but then he thought that this might be the key to triggering the plot and the opportunity to help Ah Heng get the treasure map.

He paused for a moment, then resolutely walked towards the golden light in the corner...
