She didn't dare to respond to this. Of course she wasn't good at this kind of organization. Others were good at it.

Si Jiang had chatted with her about this aspect in the past, and even now she only had a partial understanding of it. But with this bit of knowledge, she could roughly guess the general direction of the tunnel.

It should be said that others may not have the flexibility of "all roads lead to Rome" like Chen Baiqi. Others know the tunnel and may only try their best to find the entrance, but she did not waste this time and intercepted it directly.

"You have a sharp mind." Mengchangjun also thought of this and smiled inexplicably.

Chen Baiqi was modest.

When Feng Chen saw that Chen Baiqi was even more appreciated by Mengchang Jun, he narrowed his eyes and stopped looking at her.

However, Yuelu and others had a new understanding of her, with a little sympathy and ridicule. It was a pity that such a talented person ended up as Mengchang's favorite.

Apparently, the rumor about the spring breeze last night had spread throughout the village!

Chen Baiqi's reputation has become very dark.

System: 90% of the Dancer’s mission (1) has been completed.

The task of protecting Lord Mengchang (1) will be completed in a few hours before she can retire. Before, she thought that she could not leave Lord Mengchang if she was close to her. Later, she discovered that as long as Lord Mengchang gave her an order or "allowed" her to leave, she could stay further away.

Distance, for example, she is on a business trip, but the time limit is also limited, so Chen Baiqi usually leaves early and returns early.

Ding——System: Congratulations, the Dancer mission (4) has been completed and the reward has been successfully delivered.

The Dancer Task (4) is to find the tunnel and tell Mengchang Jun the news. Chen Baiqi has successfully completed it. She checked the system package. These Dancer Tasks (4) have low experience value, but a lot of monetary rewards. Once the system rewards arrive,

She immediately exchanged the elixir for her daughter's health and swallowed it while no one was paying attention.

When the excavation project was going smoothly, time was passing by minute by second, but Chen Baiqi was excited inside.

Because the system prompts that the dancer's mission (1) is coming to an end, she will soon be able to retire and return to her male body (eh? Something seems wrong.) and escape from the control of Lord Mengchang's devil's cave.

About the time the misty sun rose to the middle of the sky, everyone began to feel a little irritated and impatient. They began to question Chen Baiqi's words, and even more doubted whether she was just telling nonsense to waste their time from the beginning.

But before they could ask Chen Bai, the increasingly deep surface suddenly collapsed. Some people were caught off guard and screamed. As the soil fell, they fell into the mud with a helpless cry. The scene fell into chaos for a while.

At the beginning, he listened to Chen Baiqi's instructions and backed away in alarm. The gray smoke roared and billowed, covering the sky and the earth, covering all sight in the loess dust and smoke.

Chen Baiqi and the others were far away from the beginning and were not affected, but they were frightened and immediately ordered rescuers.

Wei Yan was very skilled. Although his face was covered with dust by the air waves, and his nose and eyes could not be seen clearly, he never went far. He stared at the large collapsed hole and shouted in the direction of Lord Mengchang: "Don't panic, we are fine, next step"

If the hole is not deep, you can’t fall to death!”

Then, after he waited for the shaking to completely stop, he bravely jumped down into the dark hole to find out the situation.

"Is it authentic?" Someone asked in surprise from above.

Someone from below shouted upward: "It's authentic!"

"It's really the tunnel leading to Caocheng!" someone said in surprise.

Everyone gathered around and looked into the dark tunnel that was half buried in the soil. There was a burst of noise.

Wei Xi was surprised, and Zhang Yi sighed that she was really right. Pei Nanshan tightened his hands, but his expression was unpredictable, and his eyes were bottomless.

Mengchang Jun also looked surprised. He looked at Chen Baiqi and marveled: "Just now I thought you were talking nonsense, but I didn't expect you had real information."

Chen Baiqi hehehe "..." So, in your mind, do I have such an unbearable image?

——

Now that the tunnel has been found, the natural next step is to attack Caocheng.

They first assembled the army, then tied ropes to the horses and fell into the tunnel. The horses' hooves sounded loudly, so they wrapped them in cloth. The weapons could be carried with them, and the heavy necessary items were carried by the horses. In addition, they also

Prepare enough torches, water, food, etc.

The other carriages and chariots were temporarily placed in Fuyi Village. After everything was prepared, they began to sneak into the city through the tunnel.

The tunnel was dark, deep, and even colder. It was about two meters high, but very narrow. It was barely wide enough for two people to stand side by side. As soon as a person touched the ground, he felt waves of chills invading his limbs.

They lit the torches, but there was still a white-cold chill in the passage.

Get out of the tunnel, system: Loading the tunnel map... Please do not close the system map, the map search function is temporarily closed during this period...

System: Loading the historical map... Please do not close the system map. The map search function is temporarily closed during this period...

Map updates and loading are not unfamiliar to Chen Baiqi.

Generally, entering a new instance will re-update and load the map.

However, it took nearly five minutes to load and it was still not ready. Chen Baiqi began to wonder, why is such a tunnel so time-consuming?

Is it because the terrain here is complex?

No way, she guessed that the distance from the underground of Fuyi Village to Caocheng would only take half an hour. If we took a more detour, it would take at most one hour, that is, two hours.

Chen Baiqi and Mengchangjun were walking in the middle of the team, as were Feng Chen, Wei Jian and the Yuelu disciples. This was the safest position, with the cavalry in front and the pawns behind. She hesitated, then tugged on the corner of Mengchangjun's clothes.

He said: "Why don't we stop for now and let others explore the road first."

Mengchangjun naturally reached out and grabbed her little hand and held it, thinking that she was afraid of the gloomy darkness in the tunnel, so he said, "Someone has already gone to explore the way."

"No, what I mean is that we will wait until the explorers come back to report." Chen Baiqi didn't want to attract attention by messing with him in the tunnel, so he let him hold his hand.

When Mengchang heard the words, he didn't respond for a while.

But although the two of them spoke in low voices, the tunnel was empty and very cold. Many people not far away heard her, most of them Yuelu disciples. They suddenly felt that she was moaning for nothing, delaying the trip.

After all, it is cold and dark in this tunnel. Everyone wants to get out quickly, and no one wants to waste more time.

"How can you be a mere husband if you are so timid?"

"There are many faults in the villain. If you don't leave, go. Don't let me wait for my trip!"

Because they took the majesty of Lord Mengchang into consideration, these people also kept their dissatisfaction in a low voice, but they couldn't stop the noise from being mixed and broken. Chen Baiqi's hearing ability was already better than that of ordinary people, and he suddenly had a headache from the noise of these messy sounds.

"If there are traps, hidden weapons, poisonous substances, or methane in this tunnel, and no one has passed through it for so long, it's best to be careful." Chen Baiqi turned around and scolded.

The tunnel seemed to have been drained of sound and became silent.

The group of Yuelu disciples were speechless, a little confused and frightened. At this moment, Feng Xuan asked slowly: "The purpose of digging this tunnel was just to save people. How could there be such a dangerous trap?"

?”

When the others heard that it was completely reasonable, they immediately felt confident and echoed.

Chen Baiqi knew that Feng Xuan was not on her side, but she didn't expect that he would come to oppose her at this time.

Unnoticed by the darkness, she rolled her eyes at him inelegantly.

"At the beginning, when there was cholera in the city, some infected people should not have been allowed to leave the city. Now it sounds like those strange people may be righteous, but in fact they are also right. I don't know how talented the strange people praised by the villagers are, but I don't think so.

What kind-hearted people are willing to sacrifice themselves to save everyone? I just ask you, from the villagers' mouths, how many people were infected in the city at first, and how many people were rescued after they dug tunnels?"

Another thing Chen Baiqi didn't mention was that the original intention of the tunnel was to save the villagers suffering from cholera. Is there any other hidden reason?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Naturally, they wouldn't think about this, even Chen Baiqi thought of it in a hurry.

Who would pay special attention to those who died years ago?

But Chen Baiqi knew that they only rescued one group. She didn't know how many people there were in this group, and she didn't know who they were. But she knew that after this group, the strange people disappeared mysteriously as if they appeared mysteriously.

And the existence of this tunnel has become a kind of secret.

After a moment of silence, Mengchang Jun stopped their quarrel: "Just wait for a quarter of an hour, and if there is nothing ahead, we will continue our journey."

But they waited for nearly half an hour to explore the way, but none of them came back.

"I'm afraid...something happened." Feng Xuan said with an ugly expression.

He had warned the explorers to come back on time, but now they didn't come back after the time limit. It must have been because something happened.

At this time, the map display update of Chen Baiqi's system was completed.

At the same time, the system: Congratulations, you have successfully completed the Dancer Mission (1) and the reward has been delivered.

System: Congratulations, the character has reached level 15.

Finally completing the most difficult task and getting a level up, Chen Baiqi was in a very good mood.

It's a pity that now that she has entered the tunnel, she can't leave even if she wants to. All she can do is wait until she leaves the tunnel before looking for an opportunity to leave.

Chen Baiqi suppressed his desire to stay away from Lord Mengchang immediately, and while the group of people were discussing uneasily, he opened the system area map.

The routes above are densely packed with twists and turns, but they are not long, just very winding. The route map of this tunnel is indeed complicated. Its complexity lies in the fact that there are many wrong intersections, and it is easy to enter a dead end.

But it was not as dangerous as she originally thought, so she felt relieved.

System: You have successfully completed the Dancing Girl missions (1) (2) (3) (4). The mission completeness has reached 100%. You can start the reward side mission. Do you want to open it?

Reward side mission? Could it be a reward level given to her?

Chen Baiqi guessed in his mind and chose "turn on".

Ding——System: The reward side mission successfully opened by the character, side mission (1)——Escort Mount Peinan safely out of the tunnel.

Side mission (2) - Compete with Feng Xuan in a sword fight and defeat him to establish his position as the most favored minister around Lord Mengchang.

ps: You can choose either one of Task (1) and Task (2) at will, and they cannot be superimposed, because they are rewards for any branch and cannot be refused.
Chapter completed!
