Marriage Beloved in Troubled Times: Madam Wants to Run Away from Marriage

Chapter 113
"Young Madam, there is nothing here!" Zhang Zhun walked over first, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, his legs shaking a little: "If I remember correctly, this place is a natural place in the north of Jiangcheng. Barrier - Qianzhang Cliff. This cliff is very deep. It is said that there used to be an active volcano below it, and this cliff stretched forward, turned around the entire north side of Jiangcheng, and continued forward until it reached Lincheng. There is no one in the middle. The bridge is available, wider than the river, and it is impossible to return to the city from here. We must not jump off the cliff, haha."

The last sentence was obviously a joke, Zhang Zhun thought that Gu Wan had led the wrong way, and it was difficult to explain clearly, so why not make it clear for him?
At most, it won't work here, everyone will go back to the city over the mountain, but there will still be some danger at the north city gate.

"Jump off a cliff, thank you for thinking about it. If you want to jump, you can jump. I regret my life. I definitely won't jump." Gu Wan also easily replied to Zhang Zhun, and went forward to find it around the small hill. , patted the stone for a while, and tapped the grass for a while, and moved forward cautiously, as if afraid of stepping on something.

Seeing this, Huo Xizhou put down the things in his hands, and was about to walk over when he heard Gu Wan happily say: "I found it, I found it! Xi Zhou, Adjutant Zhang, come quickly!"

Both Huo Xizhou and Zhang Zhun made money in a few strides.

Gu Wan then picked up a smaller stone, knocked a bulge under the pine tree, and explained: "Did you hear that, the sound is very hollow, and the inside of this stone is hollow."

"What's the use of a hollow stone?" Zhang Zhun asked.

Huo Xizhou looked at the stone. It was a very ordinary cracked stone with many lines and several cracks. It was lying in the grass and covered with green vines. No one would think there was anything wrong with this stone, but When such an empty space was under the pine tree, Gu Wan deliberately looked for it.

"Wanwan, stand back a little, I'll come."

"Okay." Gu Wan took a few steps back, and said, "I accidentally tripped over a vine before, and then I knocked my head on this stone. I can't remember where I knocked. Take this piece and take a look around?"

With that said, she handed the stone in her hand to Huo Xizhou.

Huo Xizhou's strength was stronger than Gu Wan's. He only knocked on the stone once, and heard a very relaxed "click", which was very similar to the sound of some kind of mechanism being opened in an ancient tomb.

The source of the Huo family's wealth is at least half not a secret - it was all fished out of some ancient tombs by the gold-touching team. Huo Xizhou is also familiar with ancient tombs. Hearing this voice, he knows that there must be some bright hall.

"Stand back," he said.

Gu Wan and Zhang Zhun took another two steps back.

Huo Xizhou looked around, and then estimated the distance from this place to the cliff. He felt that the space in this place is not large. If it is to place traps, it should not be possible to set up too complicated traps.So he gritted his teeth and decisively pressed down the cracked stone.

"Kacha, Kacha, Kacha." Continuous voices sounded, and the small hill trembled. After a while, a black hole suddenly collapsed on the ground. The hole could only accommodate one person. With the light of the setting sun, people could You can see that there are stone steps down, this is...

"There is a secret passage here!" The tone was already determined.

"Yes, it's this secret passage," Gu Wan said, "Do you know where this secret passage leads to?"

"Young Madam, where does this secret passage lead to?" Zhang Zhun asked, but he guessed in his heart that it must lead to the city, otherwise, Young Madam would not have worked so hard to bring him and the Young Marshal here.

"The Huo family's back mountain!" Gu Wan said, just after finishing speaking, he looked a little embarrassed: "Besides, it's still the Huo family's ancestral grave."

"What?" Now, even Huo Xizhou was frightened.

"Xizhou, you must know that after the Huo family established a foothold in Jiangcheng, the reason why they chose you to build a house is because the place is backed by mountains and the location is excellent. It's the best shady place in Jiangcheng, but as long as you go down the mountain, it's the best sunny place, so the Huo family's ancestral tomb was built on the back mountain, but the house was built under the mountain, right?"

"Yes!" Huo Xizhou nodded.

"And the reason why the back mountain is an excellent shade is also because that place has been the land of the dead since ancient times. There is an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period there. The Huo family's first military expenditure was obtained from that tomb What a good thing, it just so happens that the owner of the tomb is also surnamed Huo, so the Huo family kept this matter a secret, and since then, they have recognized the owner of the tomb as their ancestors, offering incense every day, right?"

"Yes!" Huo Xizhou nodded again.

"The tomb is very big, and there are various organs inside, but they have all been broken open by the commander. Although there is no property, there is still a maze inside. Because I am worried that I will get lost in it, so, everyone Shuai warned the Huo family not to go inside again, right?"

"That's right!" Huo Xizhou said, "However, not many people know about this matter, that is, grandma, father, a few of my father's confidantes, and I know that during the Southern Expedition, those confidantes all died Now, only me, my father and grandma know about this matter. Even my mother didn’t know about it. My father later erected a new tombstone. He didn’t write his name on it. Once the bones are moved there, no one will doubt it."

"Now, Adjutant Zhang and I know more." Gu Wan said cautiously: "I believe that Adjutant Zhang will not tell this matter, and neither will I. Moreover, I know how to navigate the maze without getting lost. , walk out of the maze and you will arrive at the tomb, and then go out through the tomb, and you will be able to walk out of the ancient tomb. It seems that the commander-in-chief likes the ancient tomb very much, so the newly made tombstone is also controlled by the mechanism. After removing it, there is a door, and you will arrive at the Huo Mansion I don’t need to tell you how to go back to the back mountain, right?”

Huo Xizhou's expression became serious: "Or, my father knew about this secret passage, but he didn't tell anyone."

Gu Wan nodded: "Maybe."

The Marshal is an extremely shrewd person. On the one hand, he turned the ancient tomb over there into the Huo family's ancestral tomb, and on the other hand, he set up various traps and obstacles in the forest here. He said it was for safety, so why didn't he protect the Huo family? The possibility of a dark passage?
——If he really knew that there was such a secret passage, it might be a life-saving passage he left for the Huo family.

But he didn't want to be discovered by her in the previous life by mistake.

"Xizhou, you...don't misunderstand me. I used to be hunted down and my life was in danger. I fled here in embarrassment. I fell into this hole by accident, so I discovered this secret passage."

She was still afraid that Huo Xizhou would suspect that she had other plans after knowing this.
