Chapter 58 The hole is flooded

Chu Ruoxi threw a stone at the pool, "There is a way out under the pool."

"Wait a minute," Yang Yiping stopped Chu Ruoxi, who was going to jump, and explained to her.

"We have been stuck here for some time, and we don't know how far we can go out. Shall we go back to the bottom of the valley to prepare some food and then explore the way?"

"No, I believe it won't take long to get out of here!"

Chu Ruoxi's tone softened: "You go into the water by one breath. You are not familiar with water. This time, let me explore the way first. Just wait for me here."

Yang Yiping disagreed, "I'm worried about you going alone. Let's go together. If there is anything, we can take care of."

Worried about her refusal, he grinned: "Don't worry, I won't drown."

The two groped for a while, and there was indeed a dark hole. However, it is not under the opposite stone wall in imagination, but on the side of the dark river when it comes, almost turning vertically.

Yang Yiping pulled her out of the water and was a little worried: "The hole is flooded. I don't know the depth, let alone where to go. Do you want to..."

"Every step is hope. The sooner you leave, the better. Go down."

Chu Ruoxi was determined to find out and did not want to delay for a moment.

The hole was very deep. The two were underwater for a long time before they came out of the water with a breath. Before they could take a deep breath, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

What a big lake!

Like the previous waterfall, a hole was cracked on the wall of the high hole, and the sun cast in, not the place of death.

Chu Ruoxi looked at Yang Yiping with a helpless wry smile: "Why is it still a lake? And it's a cave lake?"

"Let's make a mark and go ashore first."

Yang Yiping thought it very carefully. In case he can't get out, he can at least return the same way.

Jumped to the shore, Chu Ruoxi's "ah" sounded, and his body softened and collapsed in Yang Yiping's arms.

Looking around, it is completely purgatory on earth!

The incomplete skeletons are scattered around, the traces left by the fight are faintly identifiable, and there is a sword inserted in the bones...

"Don't be afraid!" Yang Yiping hugged her, stroked her hair, and comforted her softly. I'll take you to find the way."

Chu Ruoxi gently said "um" and leaned on him, but what flashed in his mind was the tragic massacre of that year.

She secretly looked at everything around her. There were at least two or three hundred bones in this hole. Will those treasures be hidden in this hole?

It is very possible for Qin Muhan to deceive them and kill these people on the spot after helping him hide their treasures!

"Ruoxi, look!"

Yang Yiping pointed to the place where the bones piled up the most, "That's the way out, but it's sealed!"

Chu Ruoxi's heart sank and blocked the way out? Is this the exit that Dong Fu said?

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, temporarily ignored the terrible bones, and looked carefully, and her eyes were full of loss. "Your Highness, they are all people who have not been able to rush through this stone gate. Is there really no way out?"

Yang Yiping looked at the lake, thought for a moment, and shook his head and said, "No, how can there be so many people gathered in this isolated cave, and..."

He kicked the knife under his feet, "This knife is only for officers and soldiers, and most of the dead are officers and soldiers."

"Do you think these people are officers and soldiers? So why did they appear here? Chu Ruoxi looked at Yang Yiping and thought, if he found the treasure of the previous dynasty in this cave, could he know?

"This is unknown. These people have died for at least hundreds of years, and their clothes are rotten."

Yang Yiping pointed to the crack projected by the light. "It's getting dark. Let's look for it again. If not, we can only go back to the bottom of the valley."

Chu Ruoxi was eager to know if there was any treasure here, and she was worried that Yang Yiping knew the secret. She was very conflicted. She nodded and looked for it with him in the cave.

There is no source of this lake. The only explanation is that the Yin River is under the lake, but they give up the idea of finding the way under the lake.

The cave is very deep, and the lake is very wide, and there is no way to find it.

"Wait!" Yang Yiping seemed to have found something and looked at the traces on the ground.

It turned out to be a rotten wheel left on the ground!

Chu Ruoxi glanced at a silver ingot that fell not far away. She quickly stepped forward and picked it up. She was overjoyed that it was indeed Daqi official silver.

Yang Yiping came up and joked, "Why, I found the treasure."

His unintentional words made Chu Ruoxi's heart beat violently and threw the silver ingot into the lake. "What's the use of this thing outside?"

Yang Yiping looked at the lake and said quietly, "These people will not die here because of the uneven division of stolen goods and killing each other!"

"Nonsense, these people are officers and soldiers. How can they kill for money? I think it's more besieging and suppressing mountain thieves."

Yang Yiping looked at her and said with a joke, "You said that it was officers and soldiers who besieged and suppress mountain thieves, but how could officers and soldiers be trapped in this cave, and the knife in his hand was a weapon used by officers and soldiers?"

"How do I know!" Chu Ruoxi was guilty and stopped talking nonsense. "Why did they die here? I don't care. I just want to go back to the capital quickly. My father and brother can't find me. I don't know what's in a hurry!"

Her words darkened Yang Yiping's eyes and followed, "That's exactly the truth. Although I'm not a tool, I can't worry about my father."

"You are hiding your life, not that you are not a tool."

"You don't blame me for cheating on you anymore!" Yang Yiping said happily, "If Sister Ruoxi can understand, I feel at ease."

Chu Ruoxi sneered at his words and said, "You are calm, and I can't panic."

"Why?"

She turned around and said seriously, "Under the world, I am the only one who knows this big secret. Will you kill me?"

Yang Yiping's expression remained unchanged. He looked into Chu Ruoxi's eyes, clean without any impurities. "I'm willing to let you know that I pretend to be stupid. I will never do anything wrong with you."

Chu Ruoxi smiled and didn't say anything about his words, but his heart was a little shaken: Yang Yiping had no choice but to show his true ability in order to save her. If he wanted to get rid of her, he didn't have to reveal his secret at all and let the monster eat her.

"Ruoxi, I..." Yang Yiping saw that she was silent and looked a little unnatural. He looked at her gently and delicate eyes. He paused and took her hand and said, "I like you!"

"What!" Chu Ruoxi suddenly shook off his hand and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you are really stupid! Have you forgotten your identity and me?"

When he was "stupid", Chu Ruoxi felt that it was just a fool's stupid move, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Isn't it a real idiot for Yang Yiping to say such a thing now?

"Identity?" Yang Yiping repeated heavily, with a trace of loss in his eyes, "He is the prince and the future emperor. I'm far worse than him."

"At present, due to the situation, I was forced to be trapped together and find a way out. We are each other. I hope that the third Highness can understand my situation and stop saying such childish words, the consequences... I think the third Highness knows better than me."

After Chu Ruoxi finished saying this, she suddenly felt melancholy. She stopped looking at Yang Yiping and turned around and said, "Your Highness, let's find the way quickly!"

There was silence behind her. She was stunned and looked back. Yang Yi stood still and looked at the faint loss in her eyes.

"Why don't you go?"

He replied, "Only by staying here can I be with you, so I'd rather continue to be trapped here."

"You're not a fool, you're crazy!" Chu Ruoxi really wanted to find out the signs of his madness on his face. In order to prevent yourself from going crazy.

Yang Yiping smiled bitterly and said, "I hope I'm crazy and a fool, so that you won't refuse me."

"I... I don't bother to talk to you."

Before changing, Yang Yiping went so crazy, Chu Ruoxi would definitely feel that this was an excellent opportunity to take advantage of his love for himself, provoke him and the prince, and it would be better for brothers to ble with each other.

But now, she hates this idea and hates him even more. She just wants to stay away from this person. It's better not to see him again forever.

"Ruoxi..."

He called out her name helplessly, stopped with a few short steps and did not keep up.

Chu Ruoxi's footsteps slowed down and then ran forward.

It's best not to come! Just take this opportunity to get rid of him and find out the whereabouts of the treasure.

She finally found the mark left by Qin Muhan.

It is not surprising that there is a hole in the hole. What is surprising is the hole in front of us. The door of the hole is opened, and a formation is set up in front of the hole, with heavy mechanisms.

This array is absolutely impossible for others to see, but Chu Ruoxi is more familiar with it - Qin Muhan taught her in those years.

Looking at the hidden array, her heart twitched. He was good at the mechanism array, but why did he choose this for layout?

She raised her steps, but she couldn't fall down. Qin Muhan was vicious, and how did she know if he would go up and die by himself!

It's unlikely. He watched himself "die" away.

Chu Ruoxi took a few steps according to the formation and did not touch the mechanism.

Entering the hole, skillfully avoiding traps and opening the mechanism, the big stone at the mouth of the cave slowly rose, emitting a faint light in the darkness.

Chu Ruoxi's tears fell, and a huge night pearl was placed in the middle of the cave, and below was a pile of mountain-like copper-footed wooden boxes.

The light emitted by the night pearl made Chu Ruoxi see everything in the cave - this is indeed the gold and silver of the Daqi treasury.

She couldn't believe that the hope of the seventh brother's personal collection a hundred years ago was really right in front of her?

Opening the nearby box was filled with white silver ingots. Looking at the money, her tears fell even more fiercely.

A hundred years later, I found the money needed to restore the country, but I was trapped in this cave and couldn't leave.

"Ruoxi...Ruoxi..."

In the quiet and deep cave, Yang Yiping's cry came faintly, and the aftertaste was long.

Yang Yiping is here!

Chu Ruoxi wiped away the tears on her face and showed fierce eyes. The secret of this treasure can't be revealed to anyone, and Yang Yiping can't reveal it!
