The bamboo raft has been completely destroyed...

The six soldiers who went to explore the upper reaches are likely to be dead, but what kind of accident they encountered is still unknown.

The scene in front of them struck the heart of everyone present, because what happened to the six soldiers was probably what they would encounter later, and no one could help but feel the same way.

This moment.

No one spoke, they just silently looked at the wreckage of the bamboo raft floating in front of their eyes in the water, making their own plans in their minds.

Even those soldiers are the same. Everyone is an independent person. Although those soldiers have no right to speak or even the right to choose, when faced with this situation, they still have their own ideas, just their thoughts.

Maybe it's not that important.

finally.

"Master Zuo Xian, what do you think about this matter?"

It was Zhang Liang who broke the silence first and looked at Zuo Ci standing aside and asked.

Yan Lu called Zuo Ci the "immortal master", and Zhang Liang also called Zuo Ci the "immortal master". It is not difficult to see that Zuo Ci should still have some real abilities now. After all, in such an environment, Zhang Liang and Yan Lu

There was absolutely no need to fool the people... even though Zhang Liang had gouged out one of Zuo Ci's eyes.

"Mr. Zhang, I think we should drag the wreckage of the bamboo raft up first and take a look at the damage. Maybe we can get some clues."

Zuo Ci calmed down, cupped his hands and said.

"Exactly so!"

Zhang Liang suddenly seemed to have been reminded, and immediately shouted to his soldiers, "Come here, quickly pull up the wreckage of the bamboo raft!"

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, a group of soldiers rushed to the river.

Then they used all possible means to drag the remains of the bamboo raft to the river bank in a short time.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the bamboo raft had been broken at the waist, and the wreckage dragged up was only half of its original size, and the remaining half had long since disappeared... As for the bamboo fragments and debris flowing down the river in the water,

Obviously it is not enough to form the missing other half of the bamboo raft.

"If it was just an ordinary rockslide, the bamboo raft would never be damaged to this extent. It is obvious that it must have encountered an unusually powerful external force."

After Zuo Ci saw it, he took the initiative to say to Zhang Liang, "I can only make two guesses based on this: One is the strange beast we have seen before. If it shows up to attack the bamboo raft, it should be possible."

The bamboo raft was damaged to this point; the other possibility is that there is some powerful mechanism hidden in the upper reaches of this underground river. If

In this case, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least as far as I know, most of the currently known mechanisms are one-time use. Once triggered, the spring pops up. If no one resets it, it will not be activated again...

And this just shows that the upper reaches of the underground river is where we want to go."

"..."

After hearing these words, Wu Liangzhong felt more and more that there was something wrong with Zuo Ci.

Because his words more or less encouraged Zhang Liang to continue sending people to investigate upstream, not to mention that it was just an investigation now, but Zuo Ci's words seemed to have determined that there must be something hidden in this secret place that Zhang Liang was interested in.

The stuff is average.

The important thing is.

After hearing these words, Zhang Liang did not raise any questions, but nodded in agreement.

Seeing Zhang Liang's reaction, Wu Liang had to wonder whether the cleared halls and passages he had walked through had given clues that he didn't know. This was why both Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci had such a firm belief.

There is a secret realm behind the underground river.

"What you said makes sense. Since there is no way to go downstream, we can only place our hope on the upstream."

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and finally said, "Now that the direction has been determined, I don't want to wait any longer. Yan Lu, please order people to make four more bamboo rafts. Counting the remaining two, we

A total of six rafts went to explore the upper reaches of the underground river. My people took the lead, followed closely by Zuo Xianshi and Wu Gongzi. Yan Lu and I were in the middle. Finally, my people took the lead. What do you think?

?”

"How can my master put his body in danger if he has a body worth thousands of dollars?"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was Yan Lu who was the first to raise objections and openly objected, "In my opinion, the master should send a few more people to investigate several times. After confirming that all risks have been eliminated, it will not be too late for the master to go there in person.

"

Wu Liang also believed that what Yan Lu said was extremely true.

Anyway, as far as he is concerned, he definitely hopes that Zhang Liang will send more people to investigate carefully, so he does not have the consciousness to be cannon fodder for others.

It's just that at this moment, given his status, he probably doesn't have much weight, so it's better to avoid talking about it.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"

I don't know what Zhang Liang was thinking, but he didn't adopt Yan Lu's foolproof advice. Instead, he glared at him and continued, "If you don't do what I say quickly, are you questioning my decision?"

After burning the incense, I want to see the bamboo raft that has been built, otherwise you are the only one to ask!"

"promise."

Yan Lu obviously wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't dare to say it out, so he had to bow and go to make arrangements.

In fact, this is not difficult to do.

The bamboo poles that were sent in before were very considerable, but now there are still a lot of them that are not used. It should be easy to make four bamboo rafts. The people are also ready, and the work can be started immediately with just a word.

However, the attitude of the few people facing this matter just now made the actual relationship between Wu Liang and the others a little more confusing:

Zuo Ci encouraged.

Zhang Liang insisted.

Yan Lu objected.

It stands to reason that Yan Lu is Zhang Liang's slave, so he should naturally be on the same side as Zhang Liang, and his opinions are entirely from Zhang Liang's perspective.

In this case, Zhang Liang should seriously consider Yan Lu's opinion, at least hesitant, instead of going his own way after listening to Zuo Ci's words, and severely scolding Yan Lu when he put forward his opinion... Unless Zhang Liang has something wrong with him.

There is a reason why taking risks is not allowed, and this reason is still unknown to Yan Lu.

And Zuo Ci may also know this "reason".

In other words, this secret realm may contain secrets that only Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci know...

This is understandable.

As a relatively experienced leader of a tomb robbing organization, Wu Liang can completely assume the roles of the two and make a reasonable inference:

Just like Wu Liang and Yu Ji.

The reason why Zhang Liang calls Zuo Ci an immortal master is because Zuo Ci has abilities that Zhang Liang does not possess but that he needs very much.

Wu Lianghui asked Yu Ji for advice when he encountered some problems in Feng Shui and interpretation of ancient texts.

Zhang Liang seems to be an ordinary person now, so he should also have some problems that need Zuo Ci's guidance. After all, he has specialization in the art. If he found some important things in the previously cleared passages and halls,

Information, but unable to decipher it, Zuo Ci might be able to help... This may be why Zhang Liang kept Zuo Ciqiang in his house, and even though he had one of his eyes gouged out, he still called him the Immortal Master.

reason.

What's more, it was Zuo Ci's wish that Wu Liang and Dian Wei came here. This shows that Zuo Ci definitely has some say in Zhang Liang.

So once Zhang Liang asked Zuo Ci for advice.

And if these questions involve some secrets, the secret will naturally become a secret between the two of them.

As for Yan Lu.

Wu Liang must have regarded him as a human being, and the soldiers in Jinyang City certainly did not dare to underestimate him, but in the eyes of his master Zhang Liang, it was hard to say whether Yan Lu was a human being.

After all, slaves have been private property since ancient times. For their owners, they are no different from livestock in the field, and their status is not as good as the pets at home.

Therefore, Zhang Liang also had reason to think that there was no need to talk to Yan Lu about some important matters.

This goes back and forth.

This creates the subtle scene just now. Although the relationship seems a bit confusing, in fact, as long as you think about each person's position and identity, it is not that difficult to clarify.

certainly.

This is just Wu Liang's speculation for the time being. Whether it is correct or not remains to be seen.

And this is definitely not Wu Liang’s idle thoughts.

He is actually looking for opportunities for himself to break the situation. Things are done by people. If he can figure out the subtle relationship between these people, he can take advantage of the situation at the critical moment, and perhaps create a situation that is beneficial to him.

situation...

Just when I was thinking about it.

"Master..."

Dian Wei suddenly touched Wu Liang lightly while others were not paying attention.

"?"

Wu Liang glanced at him sideways, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Just now Zuo Ci secretly communicated with me. He told me that if I want to keep the young master alive, I will try my best to protect him from now on and listen to his orders at critical moments. Otherwise, the young master will definitely die here today.
To be continued...
