"It seems that the group of men in black have been secretly following us."
Zhou Yixuan added.
"I suspect they are the Red-Faced Man's men."
After he said that, he turned his head to look at Tan Manxing.
"Miss Tan, if you have something urgent to do, you can leave first. Brother Tong and I will be leaving soon."
When Tong Le Ren heard this, he pursed his lips and said nothing as he looked at Tan Manxing who was bandaging his wound.
Before the two of them could speak, Tan Zhi looked at her pleadingly.
"Senior Sister, why don't we let them come with us? This forest is so big, and we don't know if there will be a second wave of those men in black."
As soon as she finished speaking, her words came true. In the distant woods, there was a sound of birds being startled and flying away.
Zhou Yixuan looked at the situation, raised his eyes to look at Tan Zhi and spoke to stop him.
"No need, Azhi. They are after me. You should leave quickly. I will only be a burden if I follow you."
This time he didn't even plan to bring Tong Le Ren with him. After saying that, he pulled the horse beside him and prepared to lure away the men in black.
Tong Leren saw Zhou Yixuan like this and quickly reached out to grab him.
"Hey, Zhou Yixuan, let's go together. We'll be safe once we reach the Xiangjiang River not far ahead."
"Senior Sister~"
Tan Zhi looked at Tan Manxing with some reluctance.
Tan Manxing looked at the pleading in her eyes, and seeing that the two were about to leave alone, he finally made a decision.
"Tong Leren, Zhou Yixuan, let's go together."
"The place Tan Zhi and I are going to is very dangerous. It may be even more dangerous than facing those men in black. If you want to come, follow us. If you want to leave, leave."
She left the decision to them, signaled to Tan Zhi that she could leave, and then turned and left first.
Tan Zhi looked left and right, wanting to say something to Zhou Yixuan, but felt a little hesitant.
As a result, she stomped her feet and chased after Tan Manxing.
"Brother Zhou, please think about it!"
Zhou Yixuan and the other person who stayed where they were looked at each other.
"Brother Zhou, what do you say?"
The child musician asked.
Whether they followed or not, they couldn't stay here anymore and had to leave quickly.
"I'm worried that following them will cause trouble for them."
"What about you? Brother Tong, what do you think?"
Zhou Yixuan asked back after he finished speaking.
"Well, I really want to go."
He looked at the backs of Tan Manxing and the other man, scratching his head and grinning foolishly.
He had thought that his encounter with Tan Manxing had ended there, but now that they met here by accident, he didn’t want to miss the excitement in his heart again.
"Then let's follow."
Zhou Yixuan made a decision quickly without delay.
As Tan Manxing walked away, he was not surprised by the sound of horse hooves behind him.
They will come.
Soon, the four of them, led by Tan Manxing, came down into the depths of the forest.
Without wasting any time, she quickly pressed the mechanism at the bottom of a huge rock according to the map in her memory.
There were weeds and thorns all around here, and no one could have imagined that there would be a man-made mechanism here.
Scrape——
A secret passage leading underground was revealed in the central open space.
"This is?"
Tong Leren looked at the revealed secret passage and looked at Tan Manxing in surprise.
He has lived in Xiangzhen for so many years, but he has never heard of any secret passage in this forest!
"Let's talk inside."
She looked at everyone in surprise, then went in first after saying that.
Tan Zhi whispered "Senior Sister" and quickly followed.
Zhou Yixuan walked in third place, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.
Tong Leren saw that the three of them had already gone in, looked at the dark stairs, swallowed nervously, and followed them in.
Tan Manxing came to the bottom and looked at the pitch-black dark passage. He took out a fire tongs and lit it.
Only then did she begin to explain what was going on.
"This is General Li's tomb. There might be something in there that the red-faced man wants to take. I came here this time to take something away as well."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Yixuan and the other man, her gaze lingering more on Zhou Yixuan.
Zhou Yixuan looked into Tan Manxing's eyes, his gentle expression not changing at all.
Tong Leren seemed a little excited because of these words.
"Wow! I didn't expect this cave to have such a background."
He tilted his head back and looked carefully at the aisle, and found that the walls were indeed beautifully carved.
"Indeed, I heard a rumor that after General Li died, he was sent back to his hometown for a grand burial because of his past contributions. I never thought that Xiangzhen would be his hometown."
He recalled the legends he had heard while traveling far and wide, and spoke in amazement as he moved closer to the wall to feel it.
"Everyone be careful, don't touch the mechanism."
Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren, who was almost sticking to the wall, frowned and gave him a warning.
"Miss Tan, how did you know this place?"
Zhou Yixuan, who was standing by, stared at her and asked.
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."
He looked into Tan Manxing's cold eyes and explained gently.
"I found out."
Tan Manxing looked away. Although she didn't say it clearly, everyone present understood that she didn't want to say it.
And they wisely didn't ask any more questions.
Zhou Yixuan looked at Tan Manxing who was walking in front of him, and his eyes were somewhat deep as he looked at her back.
The few of them walked forward silently for a while, and Tan Manxing, who was in front, suddenly stopped.
She raised her hand to stop the people from walking.
"etc."
"Ah, what's wrong, Senior Sister?"
Tan Zhi almost hit Tan Manxing's back. She rubbed her nose and spoke in confusion.
"There's a mechanism ahead."
Tan Manxing looked at the road surface that was exactly the same as the one he had just walked on, squatted down and observed it carefully.
"Is the trap underground?"
Tong Le Ren had no doubt about her strength, and at this moment he stretched his neck and stared at the ground in front of him and guessed.
"No, overhead."
She looked up.
"Tong Leren, you go first, and everyone else should follow as quickly as possible."
Tan Manxing is usually bored in the valley. In addition to studying poisonous insects, he also likes to study the secret techniques of mechanical mechanisms.
When she got here, she clearly realized something was wrong under her feet.
The mechanism is under the feet, and the attack comes from above the head.
When Tong Le Ren heard this, he swallowed nervously, not worrying that she was lying to him. He gritted his teeth cautiously and rushed forward.
Seeing him move, Tan Manxing quickly pushed Tan Zhi.
"Miss Tan, you go first, I'll cover you."
Seeing this, Zhou Yixuan did not leave, but hurriedly spoke on the spot.
"Stop talking nonsense and get going."
At this time, Tan Manxing was too lazy to argue with him and gave him a push as well.
Zhou Yixuan wanted to say something, but in the end he could only say something apologetically and ran forward.
"Miss Tan, hurry up and catch up."
Since the mechanism was not very long, it was activated after the first person walked past it, but she and Zhou Yixuan were delayed for a while.
So when the two of them were walking halfway, hidden weapons flew down from above their heads.
Tan Manxing sensed the approaching danger, swung his whip to knock the hidden weapon away, and moved flexibly in the corridor.
Although these blades attack quickly, they fall very mechanically.
In the end, the two of them passed through this dangerous secret passage without any danger.
