After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

But there's no point in being anxious.

She had no choice but to play the role of a loyal guard every day and follow the mysterious man around.

But as she ran, she discovered something was wrong.

"There were so many people in the Hongzhou garrison before, why are there so few now?"

She was puzzled, but could not investigate because she could not leave at will.

Fortunately, it was her turn to rest these few days, and she finally found an opportunity.

"Tao Zhu, go and follow them, I'll go investigate the case."

The little girl protested against this, but was ignored.

"I'll try to come back as soon as possible, and you'll need to cover for me then."

Tao Zhu had no choice but to agree with a bitter face.

They came to Hongzhou just for this matter. If hiding in the Shen family could solve the problem, she wouldn't have to fight so hard.

Because Nangong Yuan felt something was wrong, something was very wrong.

While following the mysterious man on missions these days, she discovered that the equipment of the garrison here far exceeded the specifications.

These military equipment were generally controlled by the imperial court, and it was difficult for outsiders to tamper with them.

So where do their things come from?

Thinking about this, Nangong Yuan's scalp tingled.

"This group of people must be doing something big, I need to know."

At least we can prevent problems before they happen...

After she went out, she rode to the parade ground. Because she didn't dare to go through the main gate, she had to go over a small hill on the west side.

But there are also many sentry posts here, and the security is very strict.

Nangong Yuan looked around and found a cave.

This place is very hidden, it should be a tunnel dug during the war.

The entrance was very hidden. If she hadn't had some impression of it from having been here several times before, she probably wouldn't have been able to find it.

“It’s too stuffy here.”

There is no air circulation in the tunnel, and it is not very wide, so people have to bend slightly when walking.

She took a few steps and then took a rest.

Soon they were about to see the exit. Nangong Yuan was about to go out, but the next moment his face changed.

The long sword was unsheathed and chopped down towards a distance.

Ding!

The clear sound of swords rang out in the tunnel.

Nangong Yuan finally saw the other person's face clearly. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The man who came had a ghost mask and withdrew his hand when he saw this.

"I should be asking you."

His tone was a little cold, and his expression when he looked at Nangong Yuan was not very friendly.

Nangong Yuan asked, "Didn't you go to Fuyang? Why are you here?"

"I failed to find any results when investigating the case. Suddenly I remembered that Yijianmen was in Hongzhou, so I caught up with them to take a look."

He definitely didn't tell the truth, and Nangong Yuan was too lazy to pursue the matter.

"Okay, but how did you find this tunnel?"

She had followed the mysterious man here several times before, so she noticed something was wrong.

"There was a war in Hongzhou before, and I asked someone for a map."

No wonder he found this place.

Nangong Yuan said: "Okay, since you are here you must investigate, let's do it together."

The man hesitated for a moment, but was interrupted by Nangong Yuan: "Hello, you just threw it away after use, and now you don't trust me anymore."

Chenlou has no comment on this.

"Okay, but you have to follow me and do whatever I say. Don't act on your own."

He was skilled in martial arts and had a sharp mind, so Nangong Yuan agreed.

The two of them walked forward a few steps, and Chen Lou grabbed her.

"This way."

Sure enough, there was a very hidden cave entrance on the far left, covered with black vines that looked like rocks.

"You are familiar with this place."

"Of course, we can't just rush forward with all our passion."

After saying this, he glanced at her, afraid that others might talk about her without knowing it.

Nangong Yuan rolled her eyes: "You can bully others now, that's a step forward."

"Each each other."

It became darker inside the cave. Nangong Yuan wanted to light a fire, but was stopped by him.

"There are people ahead, be careful."

A flame can easily become a sitting duck in the dark.

So the two of them staggered forward, stumbling.

Sometimes when Nangong Yuan bumped into him, he would immediately cover the part that got bumped and complain: "Is your body made of steel? How can it be so hard?"

"Tsk, nosy."

Although he said that, he still honestly held Nangong Yuan's arm to prevent her from hitting the rock.

Soon, Nangong Yuan smelled the scent of oil lamps.

"Someone?"

Chen Lou nodded slightly, and the two of them leaned against the stone without moving.

After a while, they stuck their heads out and found that there were oil lamps burning not far away and large groups of people passing by from time to time.

"These people...are they the garrison troops? Why are they staying here?"

Chen Lou saw her puzzled expression and asked, "Didn't you find anything here?"

"Oh, don't mention it. I was disguised as a guard in Yu Chengye's house, doing the work for others. How could I have the time to investigate?"

Hearing this, a smile flashed across his deep eyes: "Then why not leave."

"No, it's not possible. We finally got in. If we leave now, we might alert the enemy."

The two men waited for a while before seizing the opportunity to knock out one of the guards, put on their clothes, and then sneaked in.

“I didn’t expect this place to be so big.”

Chen Lou said: "When the Xisha Islands invaded, the people of Hongzhou dug underground caves for refuge, accommodating at least a thousand people."

"No wonder, it's just a little crowded."

The two followed a large group of people and lined up to get food.

People were working hard in the distance, while others were cursing inwardly.

"When will this day of hiding from place to place end?"

"That's right. I haven't seen the sun for several days. I don't even know what year it is."

Someone sighed: "It can't be helped. Our master is engaged in a business that can lead to death."

"But when this is done, everyone will enjoy delicious food and drinks!"

Everyone then became happy and started joking around while eating.

Nangong Yuan held her portion and ate it carefully, looking around from time to time.

Because there were so many people, not everyone knew each other.

Chen Lou's face was very expressionless, no different from last time.

The two people huddled together and didn't look very noticeable.

"After we finish eating, everyone will go to the mountain for training. Come back quickly after you're done. Got it?"

A captain in armor came over, arranged some tasks for them, and then left.

It can be seen that the underground team is not very well-trained.

Nangong Yuan knew why, because the mysterious man had been on Nanshan Mountain recently.

That's where the bandits gathered. His focus was there at the moment, so it was normal that he didn't pay attention to it.

When it came time for training, half of the people went out and the other half stayed underground.

Nangong Yuan and Chen Lou stayed secretly.

The cave is divided quite finely, with food and drinks provided, but the living quarters are in a large bunk bed with ten people in one room.

The conditions are tough, no wonder those people are cursing.

"It looks like there's nothing to see here."

The next moment, Chen Lou was seen walking forward and rummaging through the rice bag.
