In less than half an hour, the four bamboo rafts were completed.

It has to be said that the craftsmanship of these ancients was quite good. Although the bamboo raft looked a bit crude, Yan Lu stepped forward and shook it vigorously a few times. The bamboo poles were arranged together and were very stable. Without experience,

No matter how big the wind or waves are, it shouldn't be a problem for a few people to cross it.

Of course, with only four bamboo rafts, there is obviously no way to carry all the people here across the river at once.

However, judging from Zhang Liang's appearance, he probably has no intention of adding more. He probably plans to use these bamboo rafts to make more trips back and forth, sending people there in batches.

And Wu Liang, Zuo Ci and Dian Wei must be in the same group as Zhang Liang.

As for which batch they will be arranged in, it still depends on Zhang Liang's wishes.

Wu Liang is not in a hurry. Until now, he still has not fully figured out who is involved in an underground palace this time. What has been discovered in the vestibule of this underground palace that has been explored by Zhang Liang and others?

I don't know anything, but I can't ask directly, so it's best to just wait and see what happens.

"You make the arrangements."

After the two bamboo rafts entered the water first and floated smoothly, Zhang Liang nodded to Yan Lu.

"promise."

Yan Lu saluted, then looked at the heavily armed soldiers nearby, and then nodded to a dozen of them, "The six of you will go to the lower reaches, and the six of you will go to the upper reaches. With the effort of a stick of incense, no matter whether they have been detected or not,

At the end, immediately turn back and report the situation, and then the master will decide whether to continue to explore in depth, do you understand?"

While talking, Yan Lu took out two incense sticks and two small incense cauldrons from somewhere and handed them to two groups of people respectively.

"promise!"

It can be seen from the expressions of these soldiers that they were actually a little uneasy going to lead the battle, but this uneasiness could not offset their awe of Zhang Liang, so no one dared to raise objections at this time.

After a while.

They had fixed the small incense cauldron at one end of the bamboo raft. After everyone got on the bamboo raft, they lit the incense stick and inserted it into the small incense cauldron.

"Go ahead. Master Zuo Xian will be here to pray for you. Afterwards, the master will record the rewards for your achievements. Don't betray the master's trust."

Yan Lu encouraged the soldiers on the two bamboo rafts respectively.

"I am willing to serve Duke Zhang!"

The twelve soldiers saluted Zhang Liang in unison, and finally used a bamboo pole to push the bamboo raft upstream and downstream respectively, and soon disappeared into the dark cave.

Looking at their backs, no one said anything, not even the slightest cough.

What will be their next fate?

No one can tell clearly.

Especially those soldiers who were not selected. Although they do not have to worry about their own safety for the time being, they also have a feeling of empathy. This time it is not their turn, but it will always be their turn...

Just at this time.

"Da da da..."

Suddenly, a series of rather rapid footsteps came from the passage behind him.

Everyone turned their heads and subconsciously looked towards the passage. This passage was their only way in, and it was very tightly guarded. At least no one in Jinyang City could break in now.

Therefore, the footsteps must be from Zhang Liang's men.

The footsteps sounded very fast, and it was easy to imagine that something more urgent was probably happening outside, so someone hurriedly came to report to Zhang Liang.

really.

After a few breaths, two soldiers wearing winter clothes ran out of the passage and ran straight to Zhang Liang.

"What happened to be so alarming?"

Zhang Liang had already frowned and asked coldly.

"Mr. Zhang..."

Although a soldier was out of breath, he still saluted Zhang Liang, but he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Come and tell me!"

Zhang Liang nodded slightly.

"Nuo, Xixisuosuo..."

The soldier just swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to force himself to catch his breath a little, and then carefully approached Zhang Liang's ear and began to whisper. His voice was very low, and he covered it with his palm so that no one could hear clearly what he was talking about.

Zhang Liang said something.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang was curious and at the same time began to miss Bai Jingjing unconsciously. If Bai Jingjing were here, he might be able to get an idea.

Just when everyone was a little curious.

"fox?"

Zhang Liang suddenly asked loudly and without hesitation, "Our defense is so tight that even a fly can hardly fly in on weekdays. How did this fox get in?"

"Mr. Zhang..."

The soldier was so frightened that he trembled and quickly raised his hand to explain to Zhang Liang.

"No, it's nothing serious, just say so!"

Zhang Liang glared him back impatiently and said angrily.

"In reply to Mr. Zhang, the fox got in through all the communication holes on the door of the ancestral hall. The subordinates were guarding the door and did not dare to be careless. However, this fox was extremely alert. When the subordinates saw it sneaking in, they immediately

I slashed at it with a knife, but I didn't expect it to dodge it, and in the end only a small section of its tail was cut off."

The soldier quickly took out a furry tail about an inch long from his arms, and said with a grimace, "Then my subordinates did not dare to be careless, and ordered their companions to continue to guard the gate, while leading a few people to continue the pursuit.

Unexpectedly, this little beast escaped to the secret passage behind the altar in just a blink of an eye. When an acquaintance chased him, he climbed down along the rope of the bell. His subordinates hurriedly taught others to

The subordinate put it down, but when he got down there, there was no trace of it. So the subordinate had to search all the way to the depths. Until here, he never saw any trace of it. He didn't know where it was hiding.

Where is it..."

"This secret realm has been completely cleaned up by us. There are not many places to hide."

Zhang Liang still frowned and said.

"That's it. I know that my crime is unforgivable. Please give me another chance. I will go back and investigate carefully. I will never let this little beast hinder Mr. Zhang!"

The soldier immediately expressed his position again, "If we can't find this little beast, I will raise my head to see you!"

"No need!"

Zhang Liang waved his hand, "It's just a little beast that can't do anything bad. It doesn't matter if you find it or not. You can go back and stay there for a while. I'll note this for now. If you put anything else,

If you break in, don't blame me for being unkind."

"I have thanked Mr. Zhang, and my subordinates have shed tears of gratitude. From now on, I will judge Mr. Zhang as a man of meritorious deeds."

The soldier felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Liang.

It can be seen that Zhang Liang is definitely not such a talkative person on weekdays. It is a rare situation that this soldier can avoid punishment, so he reacted like this.

"Master is doing business, why don't you leave quickly?"

Seeing the soldier kneeling on the ground and kowtowing endlessly, and a hint of impatience appearing on Zhang Liang's face, Yan Lu stepped forward and took the fox tail from the soldier's hand, and then gave a stern drink.

"promise!":.

The soldier finally noticed Zhang Liang's expression, quickly stood up and bowed to Zhang Liang again, and then ran out with another soldier as if fleeing.

…

Although this small episode did not have any impact on Zhang Liang and others.

But it gave Wu Liang a huge surprise. He had every reason to believe that the fox was Zhen Mi's fox servant. When she failed to find Wu Liang at the appointed time, she actually used her own means to find this secret place.

After all, under normal circumstances, wild foxes are very timid and rarely appear in places where people are. Even if they just smell the scent of people somewhere, they will choose to stay away.

But this fox did the opposite, so its identity was naturally very suspicious.

It's a pity that the soldier actually cut off part of its tail, which inevitably made Wu Liang feel a little distressed. After all, it came here for his adventure...

With this thought in his mind, Wu Liang had already made a decision.

Didn't he just get the "history" that can regenerate severed limbs?

Since "History" can regenerate severed limbs, a small tail should be no problem. Regardless of whether it is considered a waste of natural resources, Wu Liang must use "History" to regenerate this little thing's tail.

As for the soldier who cut off its tail.

Wu Liangze did not intend to argue with him, but took the initiative to charge the account to Zhang Liang. If he found an opportunity, he would definitely settle the old and new accounts with Zhang Liang.

But this is all for later.

What we should do now is to continue to wait and see what happens, understand the situation here first, and then wait for opportunities to act.

And with the addition of this little fox servant, it means that Zhen Mi has been involved, which is undoubtedly a huge help to Wu Liang.

After all, the fox servant is small and agile, and can easily reach places they can't reach. And with Zhen Mi's thousands of years of experience, she might be able to see some things in this secret realm that they can't understand.
