Lady Wan Guan

Mo Yu told them what they had discovered.

Ji Yunchen couldn't help but clench his fists: "No wonder the amounts of ore on both sides match. It turns out that the trick was to subvert one's strengths and replace them."

Therefore, the decline in the production of refined iron and steel is explained.

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Mo Yu, take us to the place where you and the adults are separated."

There are only two possibilities now, either Gu Zhouting was caught, or Gu Zhouting had an accident.

"Okay, but everyone should be careful. It's very close to the cave, and they should still be looking for me and the adults."

Everyone followed Mo Yu quietly, and almost ran into someone searching the mountain. Everyone became more cautious and even breathed softly.

After walking for almost an hour, they came to a valley and Mo Yu pointed to the opposite side.

At this time, the morning light was slightly shining, and you could clearly see the cave on the opposite side, and there was a group of people patrolling.

"This is where your Excellency and I separated. At that time, our horses were discovered by them. I was responsible for leading those people away and letting Your Excellency go first." At that time, he walked in a hurry and did not look at which direction the Excellency was going.

Jiang Wanning looked around: "Ask, which direction were the pursuers at that time, and which way did you go?"

Mo Yu said: "The pursuers are coming from the southeast, and I am running to the northwest."

Jiang Wanning pondered: "The cave is in the west, Mo Yu is heading to the northwest, and the pursuers are coming from the southeast. Therefore, Gu Zhouting may have gone due east or northeast."

Ji Yunchen nodded: "Let's search separately. Jiuli and I will go to the east."

"Okay, no matter whether we find him or not, after three hours, we will retreat to the place where we found Mo Yu and rendezvous. If we find someone, we will add a dot in the marked circle."

The five people divided into two teams and looked for Gu Zhouding.

No one expected that Gu Zhouting would have gone deep into the mountain.

There was a crack in the mountain where he fell. Out of curiosity, he got in and took a look. As a result, when he walked into this crack, which could only allow one person to pass, there was a cave. As he walked, he heard the sound of "ding-ding-dong-dong". , he followed the sound, passed through a crack, and was shocked by the sight in front of him.

This is a huge cave. There are about a hundred people in the cave. They are carrying people, lighting fires, and forging iron. It is a busy scene.

It's like an underground smelting workshop.

They stole the iron ore and transported it here for smelting and processing.

What they want to do is self-evident.

But, who is the owner of this underground workshop?
  The sky was getting brighter, Jiang Wan Ning was like an experienced hunter. From the broken dead branches on the ground and the slightly fallen weeds, he could tell that someone had passed by here. As for whether the people passing by were the people in the cave or Gu Zhouting. It was hard to say, she could only follow the traces and keep moving forward.

While walking, Jiang Wanning suddenly stopped.

I saw a long and wide slip mark on the dead leaves in front of me.

The skid marks go all the way down.

Jiang Wan Ning carefully grabbed the tree trunk and walked down.

"Little lady, be careful." Xiao Pan followed nervously, fearing that the little lady would fall.

After walking about three feet away, I saw the first narrow deep ditch below. It was so dark below that I couldn't see the bottom. I didn't know how deep it was.

She suspected that Gu Zhouting had fallen.

Jiang Wanning picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the ditch. After a while, a muffled sound came.

Fortunately, the bottom is not hard rock.

Jiang Wanning said: "Mo Yu, we have to go down and take a look."

"I'm going to cut a vine."

Mo Yu quickly cut down a few vines, tied them into knots, and pulled them hard to check the strength. After confirming that there was no problem, he tied one end of the vines to the trunk and climbed down the vines.

Soon disappeared from sight.

After a long time, Mo Yu's voice came from below: "It's over, there are all rotten leaves below."

"Look and see if the master is here." Jiang Wanning said.

Mo Yu took out the fire fold and lit it, and looked around by the light of the fire.

This was a narrow mountain crevice, and Mo Yu quickly discovered it. “I found the jade pendant that the Lord dropped.”

Jiang Wanning was delighted, and Gu Zhouting fell down as expected.

"Xiao Pan, you take care of it from above, I'll go down and take a look."

Xiao Pan said: "Little lady, I'd better go down."

"Don't argue with me. I fell from such a high place and I don't know if I was injured. I'm a doctor. I can help if I go down. And if those people come, you have martial arts and you can run away." , I can’t run.”

Xiao Pan was speechless, what the young lady said was right.

"Lady, please be careful."

Jiang Wan Ning grabbed the vine and climbed down bit by bit on the slippery rock wall.

She didn't have the strength of Mo Yu's hands, so it was quite laborious to climb.

The rough vines bruised her palms.

Jiang Wan Ning gritted her teeth and continued going down.

"Mo Yu, I'm coming down."

No response below.

Stinky Moyu, where have you gone? I don’t know how to respond.

Suddenly her feet slipped, and Jiang Wan Ning failed to grab the vine and fell straight down.

I squatted on my butt and fell into the rotten leaves. Although there was a layer of dead leaves to cushion me, it still hurt when I fell from such a height.

Mo Yu heard the noise and hurriedly came back and helped her up.

"Are you all right?"

Jiang Wan Ning rubbed her butt: "It's okay, didn't you see the adults?"

"I only found the jade pendant that Your Excellency dropped. By the way, this gap is very deep. You may have walked along the gap," Mo Yu said.

"Then let's look for it along the gaps."

The two of them walked along the gap one after the other. At the narrowest point, they had to turn sideways to pass, but as they walked, the inside suddenly became empty.

Jiang Wanning asked: "Mo Yu, did you hear anything?"

Mo Yu listened for a while and said, "It sounded like the sound of iron being struck."

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Yes, this crack goes west and probably leads to the cave."

If Gu Zhouting had come here, he would have definitely heard the sound and would have followed the sound to investigate.

"Continue to go."

Jiang Wanning had something to gain, but Ji Yunchen was not so lucky. They were discovered by Lao He's people.

Ji Yunchen and Jiuli started fighting with them.

But there were many people on the other side, and they whistled to call for support.

The two of them did not dare to fight, and they fought and retreated.

During the embarrassing retreat, Ji Yunchen was still thinking that fortunately it was not Jiang Wanning who was discovered, otherwise it would have been terrible.

He was the one who brought Jiang Wan Ning here. If something happened to Jiang Wan Ning, Gu Zhouting would not have to scold him to death.

Bai Wu got the news and Lao He discovered the two people.

Bai Wu was very excited. For two days, he was so worried that he didn't dare to close his eyes. He was afraid that the two people had run away. He had already prepared for the worst. If he still couldn't find the two people today, he would have to inform Mr. Ming. .

This workshop will also be closed, three years of operation will be destroyed, and their organization may even be in danger of being exposed.

Fortunately, the person was finally found, and Bai Wu quickly brought a team of people to support him personally.

As long as the person is caught, the secret here can be kept, otherwise no one will be able to bear Master Ming's anger.
