Two hundred and sixty-eight chapters night exploration of the valley 1
After the two of them finished talking, Fengxi and Beiming walked in at the door.
There was another person beside Beiming, who was the commander of the Right Battalion, Lord Fang.
Lord Fang presented a disc book in his hand, which wrote a list of city gate guards scheduled for fifteen days.
Gu Qingyan asked Beiming: "Does it match?"
Beiming said: "I will go back to Your Highness and I will face you. The same group of people will be on duty the day after tomorrow."
Gu Qingyan looked at King Yu. She couldn't say anything like this, and King Yu had to come forward.
"Fang Yu."
"I'm here."
"Tomorrow morning, you will personally lead the people, wait for the rabbit at the city gate, find out the people who are colluding with the black market, immediately detain them, and take over the protection of the Zuoying."
"yes."
Gu Qingyan smiled knowingly. She seemed to have helped King Yu accomplish an important thing accidentally. No, it was not, it was true.
After saying that and arranging the matter, King Yu even asked his father-in-law to take over the meal list prepared in the kitchen tomorrow.
Gu Qingyan said angrily: "The method of poisoning with food incompatible is too troublesome, I will be enough to do it once."
Then I sent my father-in-law back.
After Eunuch Chen finished his work, he replied that King Yu had notified all the imperial doctors and ensured that everything was foolproof. Gu Qingyan also said with confidence that he was going back to bed.
"Don't you stay in Changle Palace tonight?" asked King Yu.
Gu Qingyan shook her head: "If you can't sleep well, you have to play the calming song of the gods in Beiming. Looking back, you should feel haunted in your palace again."
After saying that, Gu Qingyan walked out of the door. The hall door opened and stood in the corridor. Gu Qingyan looked up and saw a full moon in front of him, and there was a shining Chang Geng Star next to him.
"Let's go." Gu Qingyan didn't say anything else and waved at King Yu on his back, then jumped and disappeared into the night sky.
King Yu looked at the direction where Gu Qingyan disappeared and looked at the vermilion city wall not far away.
"She really shouldn't be trapped."
After speaking, he turned around and entered the bedroom. That night, he passed by a little quieterly.
Gu Qingyan returned to the palace courtyard. The yard was very quiet. Xu Shaolin took Dong Xin and the others out to do business.
Their affairs are not difficult to handle, but they are a bit time-consuming. After all, they have to find the entrance to the canyon from the hillside of the forest, which cannot be found just by looking at them.
Dongling is quite good at terrain and geography. He leads the way with a small map in front of him. In less than two hours, he really finds a similar place.
"Lord Lord, there is a door here..."
Dong Ling hung on the cliff, looking at a dark place not far away, looking like a cave entrance.
"Don't worry, try it in little by little, don't go in completely."
"yes."
After receiving the instructions, Dong Ling leaned forward and stepped on the stone at the entrance of the cave. When he stood firm, he untied the rope on his body.
The entrance of the cave was very dark. Dong Ling opened the fire stick and looked around. He touched a piece of moss at the entrance of the cave. It smelled the same as the moss he touched last night, and he felt a little more certain in his heart.
He bent and walked in a few steps, and then he found that the road ahead was blocked by a big rock.
After fumbled around with his hand and a short knife, Dong Ling retreated and shook his head at Xu Shaolin.
"Lot master, it's not very much like an entrance."
"Yeah, come out."
Xu Shaolin looked around and frowned and pondered. This canyon was not as they imagined at first, and nothing existed on the surface.
To enter the canyon, you have to continue looking for the entrance.
"When you go in or out, have you heard any other movements, such as moving the mechanism away?"
Xu Shaolin asked Dong Ling.
Dong Ling shook her head. Although they were blindfolded, other senses could still perceive it.
"What about the ground under your feet when you walk?"
After being asked by Xu Shaolin, Dong Ling seemed to be inspired. After thinking for a while, he looked up and said, "Like a wood."
After hearing this, Xu Shaolin looked up at the cliff: "Let's go up and see what progress has been made by Dongxin and Dongqing."
"Yes." Dong Ling said, turning around but marking the hidden location at the entrance of the cave.
When Xu Shaolin saw this scene, he nodded in his heart.
Gu Qingyan is a carefree person. She may not care about some things, but instead trains her subordinates to be careful. Perhaps, this is complementary.
When the two returned to the mountain, Xu Shaolin saw Dong Xin trotting over.
"Lord Lord, we discovered the ladder and plank road."
Xu Shaolin's eyes lit up, and he followed Dong Xin to the side of the ladder and plank road he mentioned.
The ladder and plank road are very secret. On the shaded side of the mountain, several small mountain buns are surrounded by thick vegetation. Weeds and branches are growing wildly, and the warning sounds of animals can be heard from time to time.
This shaded face and the sun they were just now had two completely different faces.
Moreover, this place is extremely secret. The ladder and plank road are not built between the two mountains, but along the mountain at their feet, winding and hanging on the cliff walls.
If they stand up straight and look down, they can only see the abyss between the two mountains and hear the sound of the turbulent rivers under the abyss.
Dong Ling was about to lean over and take a look, but was immediately stopped by Dongqing.
"There are people living on the cliff, beware of being discovered."
After saying that, Dongqing also looked at Xu Shaolin. During the period when he was with Xu Shaolin, his observation and caution increased a lot.
He discovered something strange in this place first. The alertness that came from his heart also made him not easily discovered when he went down to test it.
But even so, they still have to think of a perfect way to go on and go on.
The four of them found a place, and Xu Shaolin asked Dongqing to briefly explain the situation below.
"Starting from the three feet of the rock wall, there is a ladder and plank road. The plank road seems to extend outward from the mountain below our feet..."
Holly said, lit a small branch from the ground and started drawing.
He and Dong Xin found this place because while exploring the way, they found a figure and hurriedly walked here. They knew something was wrong and followed them. But as soon as they chased to this cliff, the person disappeared inexplicably.
They simply had good ears and heard the sound of ropes rubbing on the cliff wall, so they could not help but startle the snake. They first hid it. When the sound calmed down, Dongqing felt that Dongxin would let the wind go down and look around by himself.
After this exploration, he had to be amazed that, on the one hand, the formation of nature has too much magnificence, and on the other hand, he lamented how amazing the people living here are.
In addition to the hanging ladder and plank road on the cliff, there are also houses built on the cliff every three meters. They are connected together, and they occupy most of the cliff. A rough count of holly, there are more than 20 households in total.
"The plank road is very narrow, at most two people walk side by side." Dongqing said, and Dongling nodded silently.
"I found a family and could see traces of life. Judging from the figures, they were dressed the same as ordinary people, but their accents did not look like those of Nanwan people." said Holly.
Xu Shaolin asked him if he could learn a few words. Dongqing nodded, and learned the tone of the words of those people in his memory, and said a few simple words.
Xu Shaolin first frowned and identified what dialect it was. Until Dongqing stumbled on the whole sentence, Xu Shaolin sneered it a little, his eyes suddenly lit up, his eyes slightly worried and surprised.
"Lord Lord..." Dongqing asked when he saw Xu Shaolin's expression change.
Xu Shaolin shook his head: "You and I will go down again, Dongxin, Dongling, you two are guarding on it."
"yes."
After responding, Dongxin began to tie a rope to Dongqing. Xu Shaolin was sure, so he didn't need it.
Thinking about it, he said to Dongqing: "Where you heard the sound of friction, you can go down and look at the traces of friction..."
Xu Shaolin explained that according to what Dongqing said just now, he had a judgment that the so-called entrance to the black market was not on the surface, but opened through some mechanism.
This means that if they are not led by anyone today, they will not be able to go in directly.
But outside this black market, there is another inhabited cliff village, so there should be a great connection among them.
He asked Holly to investigate the source of the friction sound to judge how those people returned to the mountain outside the plank road, and at the same time, they also wanted to make corresponding preparations for their spy tomorrow.
And he himself decided to go to the plank road to verify an idea in his heart.
After a little preparation, Dongqing and Xu Shaolin jumped together, then turned around and climbed onto the cliff.
After looking around, it was still calm. Holly turned windy as the bottom of his feet followed the cliff to the west to investigate.
Xu Shaolin came to the plank road with a soft foot. On one side of him was a family with bright lights.
The family closed the window, and the candlelight shone on the shadows as if it was slit.
Xu Shaolin walked past its window with his body, pressing against the cliff to avoid being discovered.
After walking a few steps forward, I saw a step extending downward. I don’t know if it was loose or because I was old, let alone standing up, even a gust of wind would make a creaking sound.
Xu Shaolin looked over, then jumped with his light skills and turned over and went down the steps.
Below the steps is a natural platform born from a cliff, which can accommodate ten families. After Xu Shaolin landed smoothly, he no longer had to lean on the cliff wall. As long as he was fast, these individual families would not be able to find him.
Xu Shaolin walked around and found some haystacks outside each household. Xu Shaolin always had a fan in his hand, and he was carrying it with him at this time.
He used a fan to send it to the haystacks and touched the hard things inside. Xu Shaolin used the fan to pick up the haystacks and saw the weapon placed inside.
These weapons are very distinctive, not only the decoration on the outside, but also because of their shape.
Xu Shaolin narrowed his eyes and felt that the matter was getting bigger.
Now that night is coming, except for the lights in the house, the cliffs are all pitch black, so these people don’t come out to walk around and just stay at home.
Xu Shaolin found a house with frequent figures, poked open the window paper and peeked in.
I saw a figure hanging clothes, which allowed Xu Shaolin to see the characteristics of their clothes. Outside were regular clothes that were everywhere in Nanwan, but inside there were different ones, such as animal skin clothes, dog teeth or wolf teeth decorative belts, and leather boots that Nanwan men rarely wear...
The people inside seemed to be talking to someone, and Nanwan language and their native language were intertwined.
Xu Shaolin understood.
