Autumn mist rises over the fields, and the countryside is filled with the smell of cooking smoke.

People work in the fields early to start the busiest autumn harvest of the year.

Pian Huan was waiting at home for the news of Hu Shoufu's death. She was a little restless and hesitant about whether to take the initiative to go into the mountains to find Gu Jianxing. After all, Hu Mingyu was about to get engaged to Gu Jianyun. Should she also hurry up and marry Gu Jianxing? They became acquainted with each other and used Gu Jianxing's strength to fight against Hu Mingyu. When she was hesitating, Gu Jianxing's young man Guan Feng came.

"Miss Hu, can you go up the mountain today?" Guan Feng bowed respectfully to Pian Huo.

Pian Huan had met Guan Feng several times, but she had never seen Guan Feng act as arrogantly as a servant of Prince Rui’s Palace in front of her. Moreover, Guan Feng’s attitude toward Pian Huan revealed a hint of humility and respect. From this, it can be concluded that It can be seen that Gu Jianxing, the master in charge of wind, is not an arrogant and rude person.

She raised her eyes to look at the sky and saw that it was still early. She nodded to Guan Feng, turned around and went to the kitchen to say hello to Lu, and followed Guan Feng up the mountain with the bamboo basket on her back.

When Guan Feng saw that Miss Hu had been invited, he was very happy and was busy leading the way.

In order to avoid the folks who were harvesting in the fields, Pian He and Guan Feng took a detour. Guan Feng walked very fast. By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, Pian He was already panting from exhaustion and said he wanted to take a rest first. rest.

Guan Feng looked around and saw that there was no one else here, so he sat down on the big rock at the foot of the mountain, followed by Pian Huan.

Pian Huan took a deep breath and asked Guan Feng: "Can you tell me what exactly your master wants me to do?"

Guan Feng glanced at Pianheng, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing.

The mouth is quite tight.

Pian He looked at the dense woods and said, "When you go up the mountain from now on, you go your way and I go mine." Taking such a long detour is not only tiring but also wastes time.

She walked the same way up the mountain alone, and it was fine when she met the villagers working in the fields, and there would be no misunderstandings. However, it was different when she went up the mountain with Guan Feng. She had to avoid everyone's eyes, otherwise she would attract everyone's attention. of gossip.

"Yes." Guan Feng did not say anything this time, but responded with a heavy voice. He also felt that it would be better for the two of them to go separately. His feet were fast, and Hu Pianxuan obviously couldn't keep up.

After resting for a while, Pian Huan gained strength, and then the two set off to go up the mountain again.

When he got close to the tiankeng, Pianheng opened the map to see what deployments the other party had made near the tiankeng so that he could have an idea.

Pian Huan analyzed the two sides from the map and visual inspection. The place where the yellow dots gathered the most was under the sinkhole. It seemed that they had already started mining.

The other party set up tents around the tree hole to protect the entrance to the sinkhole. There were also many people scattered around the sinkhole. These people should be acting as guards.

When they got close to the tiankeng, Pian Huo discovered that there were many thick ropes hanging on the steep stone walls around the tiankeng. There were already passages into the tiankeng. These ropes were useless, so these ropes were used to cover up the existence of the tree hole. , causing hunters who set foot nearby to mistakenly think that they were following these ropes to enter and exit the sinkhole.

Following Guan Feng into the tent area, no one came forward to question or stop Pian Hao. Pian Hao didn't look sideways, raised his head and chest, and continued walking inside with Guan Feng, directly coming to the entrance of the tree hole.

The map was always open, and she had figured out the surrounding situation, so she naturally dared to follow Guan Feng into the tree hole.

The tree hole was obviously dug large enough to easily accommodate a tall man.

Pian Huan followed Guan Feng into the tunnel in the tree hole and walked down the steps that were wide enough to accommodate two people walking side by side.

Pian He lamented how quickly they moved. Not only did they expand the entrance and exit of the tree hole, but they also expanded and repaired the tunnel. Going up and down the tiankeng would not stain clothes, which was embarrassing and more convenient.

After walking down the more than two hundred meters deep tunnel and arriving at the bottom of the sinkhole, Guan Feng took Pian Hui directly to see Gu Jianli and Gu Jianxing.

Pian Huan followed Guan Feng into a large and luxurious tent. When she saw Gu Jianxing and Gu Jianli, she felt that Gu Jianxing was the most exquisite ancient man she had ever seen. There is no trace of femininity. I didn't expect that there is someone more noble and refined than Gu Jianxing.

Gu Jianli was a young man with a tall and slender figure, eyebrows like ink paintings, skin as white as jade, and eyes like stars. His eyebrows did not have the arrogance and ostentation of the prince of the palace, and his body exuded a unique masculinity and nobility that made people unable to resist. ignore.

After Pian Huan bowed to Gu Jianli, while looking at him, Gu Jianli also looked at Pian Huan with sharp, knife-like eyes. Pian Huan showed no fear and allowed him to look at him.

Gu Jianli found it very strange that ordinary women would not be afraid when he looked at her from head to toe, and the timid ones would have been so frightened that they would have knelt down.

But as for Hu Pianhan, he was generous and allowed him to look at her, neither humble nor overbearing. Gu Jianli put away his scrutinizing eyes.

Gu Jianxing, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, it's getting late. Let's take her to the pothole."

Gu Jianli also felt that it was getting late, so he raised his hand, with sharp eyes and full of momentum. The two guards standing aside immediately came to him and respectfully waited for his order.

"Take Miss Hu to the pothole." Gu Jianli ordered the two guards in front of him, turned around and sat in front of the desk.

Although Pian Huan had never seen what the emperor looked like, she had watched many TV series. When they met for the first time, she felt that Gu Jianli had the majesty and nobility that an emperor should have, and the aura he exuded made people feel invisible oppression. .

"Brother, I'll go too." As he spoke, Gu Jianxing had already walked to Pian He's side.

Gu Jianli glanced at Pian Huan again, nodded and agreed that his second brother could follow him and take a look.

After Gu Jianxing and Hu Pianhuan followed the guards and left the tent, Gu Jianli picked up the brush at hand, dipped it in ink, and began to write the memorial.

Pian Huan followed the two guards to the vicinity of the pothole, and saw that the pothole was not the pothole connected to the creek where the gold was picked up last time, but a pothole on the other side. The terrain of this pothole was relatively high and there was no water.

Pian He looked at the map in the system and knew why they wanted help from outsiders.

The first level inside the pit is a tunnel network composed of seemingly chaotic tunnels. At the end of the complex tunnel network, there are three tunnels that lead to the second layer of tunnels. Which one of these three tunnels should I choose? I don't know, because it is beyond the two miles that the map can display. Pianheng can only conduct further detection after entering the pothole to know which path to choose.

The complex network of tunnels on the first floor is like a maze. If someone who is unfamiliar with it enters the complex network of tunnels on the first floor, they may not be able to get out until they die. Even if they get out, they will have to face a second choice.

Which of the three tunnels should we take?

Where does it lead to?

Pian He thought, the reason why they asked her for help was because she found the tunnel into the sinkhole, right? They don't have to follow the rope in and out of the sinkhole.

With the help of the map, Pian He was able to quickly pass through the complex network of tunnels on the first level, and then further determine which of the three tunnels to choose to successfully enter the second layer of tunnels.

But the question is, why don't they focus all their energy on mining gold, but on exploring the mysterious holes at the bottom of the tiankeng? What is their purpose?

Pian He glanced around the map and saw someone mining gold on the other side of the sinkhole. The location was right where she picked up gold before, indicating that her previous guess was correct.

Instead of using all their manpower to mine gold, they want to allocate part of their manpower to detect mysterious maze-like holes?

Then the detection of potholes must be more important than the mining of gold, otherwise they would not pay so much attention to this pothole.

Their ultimate goal determines what Pian He wants to do, and even if she can help, she must hide her abilities.

The most, most, most important thing is, can she escape safely afterwards?

Pian Huan felt that things like crossing a river and tearing down a bridge, unloading mills and killing donkeys, killing birds and hiding bows, and killing rabbits and cooking dogs would most likely happen to him.

They are mining gold in the tiankeng!

Mysterious potholes are more important than mining gold.

How could she, a person with no support, participate in such a highly confidential matter? How can we escape safely?
