Chapter 504: Chapter 503: A scene of terror! _1

The two quickly squatted and crawled out, taking in the surroundings.

Overhead, it was pitch black. There were a few small trees nearby and a mountain wall behind them. As they left, the exit behind them had returned to its original state, leaving no trace of an entrance!

They had exited the tunnel!

They were incredibly relieved and their excitement was indescribable.

"Let’s go! Let’s find out where we are."

Coming out from underground, they didn’t know exactly where they were. But they had exited the tunnel and the danger to their lives had been removed; their tension eased up.

Worried that Pan’er wouldn’t be able to walk, Qin Yi carried her for a while then supported her and walked some more.

They didn’t know whether they had taken the wrong direction or what, but they walked until dawn and still had not found a house.

Finally, they saw a small stream and decided to follow it downstream.

After walking for over two hours, they saw a small village.

The village was very small. The villagers mainly relied on hunting for their livelihood, so there were traps all around, and each household had dried wild game and animal skins hanging all around.

They were relieved to see people and quickly entered the village to ask for water.

Although the villagers were not particularly welcoming, they also did not reject them.

Upon asking, they were both dumbfounded!

"Are you saying, this place is within the boundaries of Yongzhou Prefecture? Are you sure there’s no mistake?"

"We’ve lived here for generations, how could we be wrong?"

The villagers looked at the two sympathetically, "Did you two get lost in the deep mountains and find your way here? Actually, it’s not surprising. The Deicide Mountain Range is so large, it’s normal to get lost."

Is it really normal?

Can anyone tell them how they ended up from the northern Changze County of Deicide Mountain to the southern Yongzhou Prefecture within the Deicide Mountain Range?

Due to the large number of beasts in the Deicide Mountain Range and the thick forest, no one dared to venture into it. No one has ever been able to cross hundreds of miles of the Deicide Mountain Range.

To get from Changze County to Yongzhou Prefecture, they had to take a detour. That’s a journey of more than twenty days by carriage!

If they were to walk, it would probably take one to two months to complete.

But now, they had only spent two days, including their time wandering underground, to appear within the boundaries of Yongzhou Prefecture. How could that not be surprising!

But as surprising as it was, they naturally wouldn’t reveal this to anyone. Even if they did, probably no one would believe it and might even think they were mad.

They thanked the villagers.

Paying with a few copper coins, they bought some coarse grain dough bits soup, then said goodbye to the villagers and continued walking towards the main road.

They walked a long distance without speaking.

"Do you think, that tunnel... could it have gone straight through the Deicide Mountain Range, so..."

It wasn’t until there was no one around that Qin Yi finally hesitated to say, unknowingly voicing Su Pan’er’s thoughts.

"Hmm! I’m afraid that’s the answer. But, I guess that tunnel won’t have just one exit; there may be other exits leading to different territories."

The rascal pig had been walking together with them from the start, staying by the wall without moving.

Then it suddenly disappeared.

At the time, it looked particularly scared, but now, thinking back, the rascal pig probably hit the fake wall and exited through another exit.

That should be the explanation for that terrifying scene!

Qin Yi nodded.

If they could thoroughly understand the formation in the underground tunnel and utilize it for military maneuvers, then...

"According to historical records, the founding emperor of our Great Zhou Dynasty was brave and wise, and his army always appeared like magic, as if they had heaven’s help! In the final battle to unify the world, he led a surprise attack from behind the enemy, caught the opponent off guard, burned the enemy’s food and cut off their retreat. Finally, the opponent... the opponent committed suicide on the battlefield."

Qin Yi glanced at Su Pan’er, but didn’t continue.

"Are you saying that the founding emperor used this underground tunnel?" Su Pan’er’s eyes lit up.

If this is true, the truth could be that he didn’t have any special courage or intelligence as the historical records claim, but simply that he used this tunnel!

Obviously, this tunnel is of great significance to the Great Zhou Dynasty, even contributing greatly to its establishment.

"This matter is of great importance, Pan’er, you must not reveal a word of this to anyone. Understand?"

Qin Yi instructed solemnly.

"Don’t worry, I’m not stupid."

Su Pan’er rolled her eyes. She wanted to live longer, so why would she invite trouble?

Following the direction pointed out by the villagers, the two walked for about two hours before finally reaching the official road. Walking for about another half an hour, they found a relay station.

By this time, both of them were exhausted and thirsty, looked haggard, their clothes were ragged, and they were dusty from head to toe. They looked little better than beggars.

As they got closer to the relay station, the postal worker inside tried to turn them away.

Fortunately, in these times, money talks!

Information about the payment of silver quickly changed the mood of the postal worker, who welcomed them in with a wide smile and arranged for them a quiet and clean room.

They paid for some food, drinks, and clothes. They took a bath, changed clothes, and ate a big meal before finally settling down for a restful sleep. The feeling was like being reborn.

"Do you think the people in Changze County are still looking for us? And what about Old Cheng? Is he out yet? What should we do next? Should we go directly back to Changze County or head straight to the city?"

Su Pan’er asked a barrage of questions.

"They will definitely be looking for us. However, since we’re already here and we can’t sprout wings to fly back, after a few days let’s fabricate a backstory and find a way to send a safety letter back. That should be enough."

Qin Yi thought for a while: "As for Old Cheng, we don’t know whether he went into the tunnel or not. As for where to go in the future, since we are here, let’s go straight to the city."

He thought of Ye Han’s letter from a few days ago.

With their current location, if they returned to Changze now, they would have to return to Yongzhou next spring. Since they were already in Yongzhou City, they could now take a boat north directly to Shengjing.

Back in the county government office, most of the urgent affairs had already been dealt with a few days ago, and the remaining was being managed by Old Cheng in secret, so there would be no problems.

Going back would just be a hassle! Better to just keep moving forward!

However, how would they explain their sudden appearance in Yongzhou City?

Apparently, they would have to take their time travelling. Qin Yi immediately made this suggestion.

Su Pan’er was always one to go with the flow.

Thinking of the letters from the capital saying that her Original Body’s mother was seriously ill, going to the capital to visit her would be convenient, and she immediately nodded in agreement.

"That’s the only way! This way, we have ample time. We can enjoy the scenery along the way while slowly moving towards the city. It will be like going on a vacation!"

Her suggestion instantly lit up Qin Yi’s eyes!

"That’s a great idea, let’s do that!"

He had just finished speaking, when he felt a sudden kick to the hand he had placed on Su Pan’er’s stomach, leaving him stunned.

"Did... did he just kick my hand from inside your belly?"

Qin Yi was thrilled!
