marriage contract

A hole suddenly appeared on the ground, and it was impossible for Chu Junyi not to notice it, but before he could react, he fell down.

The only thing Chu Junyi was lucky about was that the hole extended downwards at a slant. When he fell, he only fell on his back and buttocks, and slid all the way along the wall of the hole without encountering any sharp stones.

On the way down, he thought about grabbing something to stabilize his body, but the hole was very dark and deep, and he didn't dare to stretch out his hand. The black light fumbled indiscriminately. If he broke his arm again, he would have no place to cry. .

Fortunately, he still remembered that he was carrying a dagger. He took out and held the handle, and after pulling it out, he quickly stabbed at the cave wall below him. With the help of his body, he turned over and his whole body was hung on the cave wall.

The back and buttocks were scorchingly painful from the cave wall, Chu Junyi took a few breaths, and then looked up.

The top of the head was pitch black, but in the darkness, light could still be seen coming in. The light formed a pattern, but it couldn't illuminate this place.

Chu Junyi sighed, the light came in through the cracks on the mountain wall, and people outside couldn't detect it at all. If it wasn't too dark here, maybe even he wouldn't notice it.

That's right, Chu Junyi has already remembered where he saw this pattern, so he doesn't expect to go out from above, he just hopes that Mr. Ma will not destroy the mountain wall in a twitch, otherwise the inside will collapse.

With the dagger in his hand, Chu Junyi stopped and walked on the cave wall, and finally saw the bottom.

Chu Junyi took a few deep breaths, pulled the dagger out of the cave wall, and when it fell to the bottom of the cave, he still couldn't stand firmly, and sat down on the ground.

But... Chu Junyi looked up at the hole in the top of his head, if he just slipped all the way down like this, he might be paralyzed from the fall.

After resting for a while, he got up and patted the dust on his clothes. Chu Junyi's eyes had almost adapted to the darkness. Although he could only see the outline, he could still use his hands to cooperate.

It's not that he doesn't want to use the fire, but who knows if there are still people here, a little fire suddenly appeared in Hei Bulongdong, and anyone who is not blind can see it.

The darkness blocked his sight, but it could also protect him, otherwise, in his current state, if he met someone, he would probably deliver food to them.

Chu Junyi recalled the pattern he saw just now, then calculated his location, picked a path, touched the wall on the right, and walked slowly.

While walking, I thought: Are they probably going crazy?

The third master Ma, Zhu Ning and the guards around Chu Junyi outside were really going crazy. This man fell down just fine. Now that he is dead or alive, how can he not be in a hurry?

People who hadn't found out the clues before also saw the way. There is a secret passage under this mountain, and Chu Junyi didn't know which mechanism he encountered, but he was unlucky enough to be tricked.

Ma Sanye was very remorseful. Not long ago, he patted his chest and promised to take Chu Junyi back unscathed. Now that this person fell into a pit right in front of his eyes, he wished he could slap himself twice. He only hated before No one is chained around.

Zhu Ning was in a hurry, and Xue Hu and the others were frighteningly dark. They were just trying to protect Chu Junyi's safety, but in the end the protected person was lost, and most likely fell into a den of thieves. What's the matter... The expressions on everyone's faces became even uglier.

Someone on this side is going crazy, and someone on the other side is going crazy from fright. The herbal picker holds his head in his hands and keeps shouting, "Monster! There are monsters! Monsters are going to eat people!" His voice broke. Sound up.

Third Master Ma was about to vomit blood anxiously, and the voice of the herb picker was still echoing in his ears. He really wanted to slap him to death, and roared angrily, "Fuck you! Call me to kill you again!"

The herbal picker was so frightened by his ferocious expression that he fell silent, covered his mouth with both hands, and swallowed all the words he wanted to blurt out.

"Search! Give me an inch-by-inch search!" Ma Sanye yelled at his subordinates.

Xue Hu and the others had already been groping on the mountain wall. They didn't know which mechanism Chu Junyi encountered, but it must be on this mountain wall.

The people under Ma Sanye also started a carpet search. During these days, they can be seen that their boss really respects that Chu Liuye. Sincerely.

Those people don't understand the pain in Ma Sanye's heart. Chu Junyi is their family's benefactor, and this kindness is not just as simple as saving his father.

If it weren't for the news he gave Jin Lu, it would definitely not only be Master Ma San who would die alone, but even a group of brothers around Master Ma San would not be able to escape. As for the matter, once Master Ma San died, the news would leak out immediately, and it would be their family members who would be unlucky.

When Master Ma San was trying to understand these things, he broke into a cold sweat all over. No matter how good he has done in front of him, the emperor will only see the results. There is no good fruit to eat.

Just like the second master Gu, even if he dies, he must hand things over to the emperor. Apart from his own responsibilities, he is also afraid that the emperor will anger the Gu family.

And his situation is not as good as that of Master Gu, because he is not sure about sending things back to the capital before he dies.

Ma Sanye has always remembered Chu Junyi's kindness to their family, but now he has lost the benefactor before he repays the kindness. Let alone whether his father will beat him to death if he finds out, even if he himself Can't pass this level.

There is also Gu Chengzhi, Ma Sanye has been his brother for more than 20 years, and he knows Gu Chengzhi's temperament very well. You can know that he and Chu Junyi are still so sticky after ten years of marriage. Death, it is estimated that their brother has achieved the end.

Thinking of this, Ma Sanye wanted to stab himself twice, while leading the team to find the agency, while thinking about whether to apologize with death.

In any case, the man had to be found.

Chu Junyi in the underground passage was leaning against the wall to rest. He had already walked a certain distance, and the road below would be much easier to walk.

He had only seen this underground labyrinth-like secret passage in books, and it was the first time for him to walk through a real secret passage.

From the year when Gu Chengzhi went to war, Chu Junyi often used reading to pass the time. He didn't like to read orthodox books, but he especially preferred miscellaneous books, just like how Master Chu hid letters.

The books he has collected over the years are astonishing both in terms of type and quantity, and with the addition of the collection left by Mr. Chu San, it will definitely leave most people in the dust.

To put it bluntly, there are no more than five people in the capital who are better than him in this respect.

People who are more interested in this aspect than him do not read as many books as he does, and people who read more books than him will not be more interested than him.

Most of the people who can read books in such a large amount are officials and scholars. They read books purely to enrich their experience.

Books on miscellaneous studies are idle books. If you read too much, you will lose your tune and fail to learn well. The elders must take care of them.

There are really not many people like Chu Junyi who have separated families without elders, have a large number of books in their hands, and are very interested in miscellaneous studies.

The mechanism that Chu Junyi encountered before was also recorded in the book, but he didn’t remember it at the time. After the mechanism was activated, it had to be manually pulled back to its original position before it could be activated again. And that mechanism...in Chu Junyi’s situation. He said that he went out from other exits when he was playing with that thing.

Seeing that he had almost rested, Chu Junyi got up and walked forward. After turning two forks, he suddenly stopped.

He had been thinking about how to get out before, and then he was just calculating the way to go next, and he temporarily put aside other things, and now he knew the way out, so he couldn't help but think of a question: Why did the emperor insist on letting him come?

In fact, he has been thinking about this question, but he can't think of a reason. It is estimated that Ma Sanye doesn't quite understand it, but he is doing it according to the emperor's wishes. He wants to let Chu Junyi follow him, and there is no need Whatever he does, as long as he follows, then Mr. Ma will be considered to have completed what the emperor asked him to do.

But why him?It is enough to have a herbal picker to guide the way. Chu Junyi will be thankful if he does not get lost when he enters the mountain. Why do you have to let him come?

Looking at the dark tunnel in front of him, Chu Junyi swallowed, and his heartbeat began to speed up unconsciously. Does the emperor know that he recognizes this place?Impossible, how could the emperor...know?

Chu Junyi suddenly remembered those books. The books that recorded this secret passage were not collected by him later, but the books left by Master Chu San. Those books... were all manuscripts, and he could recognize that they were Master Chu San. Since the book was copied by Mr. Chu San, then... who owns the book originally?

Chu Junyi took a deep breath, took another step, and walked towards the exit.

In terms of the number of books, no one can compare to the royal family. It is not a secret that he likes to read miscellaneous books. As long as the emperor knows that his family has these books, it will not be surprising to let him come here.

Even if he couldn't guarantee 100% recognition of these secret passages, at least half of the chances were that he would, which was better than the army wandering around like brow flies in the mountains.

Thinking of this, Chu Junyi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and muttered in a low voice: "Your Majesty..." The voice was very light and weak, and it disappeared invisible as soon as it came out.

Regardless of what the emperor who carried out "use everything to the fullest" thought in his heart, anyway, Chu Junyi would definitely not stand idly by if he recognized this secret passage.

But the most urgent thing is to get out as soon as possible. Although he is not afraid of the dark, staying in the dark for a long time is not good for him.

Just when Chu Junyi was thinking that he would reach the exit after walking for a while, he suddenly saw a bright light in front of him. He walked over cautiously and looked in with his head slightly. He saw an open space around the corner, and three people were sitting in the open space. among.

Chu Junyi didn't dare to make a sound, and listened intently to the commotion inside with bated breath. The three of them were just chatting, and there were not many really useful words.

Chu Junyi listened for a while, and his brows slightly relaxed. Hearing what they said, the people in the mountain had almost evacuated, leaving only a few people here to guard the mountain.

This is good news for Chu Junyi, he doesn't know martial arts, if he faces one or two, he might be able to run away, but if there are more people left behind, he probably won't be able to fly out even if he grows wings.

Seeing that those people were not saying anything useful, Chu Junyi raised his hem and walked very carefully into the secret passage leading to the exit.

The dramatic scene in the novel is to step on a branch or a stone while sneaking away, making a noise and being discovered by people, and you can laugh it off when you read a book, but it really makes people vomit blood when it happens in reality, who knows how many people are around here .

Chu Junyi's luck was pretty good, and he didn't make any sound until he passed two forks. He put down the clothes he was clutching, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking up, he could see bright light above the secret passage, and the sky could be seen in some places, the secret passage was no longer so dim, and his footsteps could be a little faster.

Just when Chu Junyi was thinking that the exit was not far away, several people appeared in front of the secret passage he was walking on.

"Who?!" The leader on the opposite side yelled, and rushed over with a few people behind him.

Chu Junyi: "..." I must have missed the almanac when I went out today!

Throwing the few pills in his hand, Chu Junyi turned and ran away.
