Gu Qingying really didn't expect Wanyan Tiancheng to come here.
With Wanyan Tiancheng's people helping with matters in the valley, Gu Qingying doesn't have to worry anymore.
He and Wanyan Tiancheng walked to an open space and stopped.
With the breeze blowing on his face, Wanyan Tiancheng looked at Gu Qingying's side face with some obsession and said: "You must be very tired during this period!"
Logically speaking, eating and sleeping outside every day should be tiring, but Lu Qingying didn't feel it. The main reason was that she had space.
When you are tired, take a bath in space, take a good sleep, and drink some spiritual spring water, and all your fatigue will be gone.
Of course, you cannot tell Wanyan Tiancheng these things.
He smiled softly and shook his head: "I'm not particularly tired. It's much better than when I was at the border. So you're here all because of me?"
She has been in contact with Wanyan Tiancheng for so long, and she understands Wanyan Tiancheng's temper and work style. Compared with Li Cangjue, Gu Qingying admires Wanyan Tiancheng more.
Wanyan Tiancheng did not deny it, and said with sincere eyes: "I don't trust you to come here to suppress bandits. It just so happened that I followed you secretly before my normal time to arrive in the imperial city."
He was really worried about Gu Qingying and always worried that Gu Qingying would be in danger.
Therefore, I decided to follow him secretly so that I could protect him secretly.
Gu Qingying's heartbeat was a little fast, and Wanyan Tiancheng's words about not trusting her kept popping up in his mind.
He reached out his hand and gently covered his chest, feeling his heartbeat.
Is this a heart-pounding feeling?
Wanyan Tiancheng didn't know what Gu Qingying was thinking. He thought that Gu Qingying was feeling unwell, so he worriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Qingying's face turned slightly red, she shook her head and said, "I'm not uncomfortable."
Wanyan Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Minghe very wisely found a chair in the valley and asked someone to move it in front of the two of them.
Now, the two of them can sit down and talk.
Gu Qingying did not dare to look directly at Wanyan Tiancheng. For some reason, she felt that Wanyan Tiancheng's gaze was too hot.
The heat will make her heart beat faster.
Trying to be as natural as possible, he said: "After Zhao Jiang and his group have been captured, we will have to clean up the other bandits. But suppressing the bandits is not the key. The key is to catch the officials who colluded with these bandits behind the scenes."
Both she and General Gu knew who the people who colluded with the bandits were, but they had no evidence.
Wanyan Tiancheng's tone was extremely gentle: "Don't work too hard, and don't push yourself too hard."
He felt sorry for Gu Qingying every time, because he was too sensible and considerate of others.
Gu Qingying leaned on the chair and didn't care about her appearance.
At this moment, Ming He ran over in a panic and said: "Zhao Jiang escaped alone into the cave under the cliff."
They were arresting people, but they didn't expect Zhao Jiang to take the opportunity to escape.
Cave?
Gu Qingying quickly followed Minghe to the location of the cave.
But under the cliff, there was a very narrow cave entrance that was as tall as a person.
Wanyan Tiancheng ordered people to go search first.
Gu Qingying was worried and followed in. Once inside the cave, she realized that there was a different world here.
Because the mountains are relatively high in this area, there are many caves.
Some caves are connected to the outside world, and some are dead caves.
Just like the cave where Zhao Wei and his group were captured before, that one was a death cave.
The torch was lit, and Gu Qingying decided to search for it personally.
Of course Wanyan Tiancheng was worried about Gu Qingying, so he followed him into the cave.
The entrance hall of this cave is relatively large, followed by a narrow cave passage with stalactites hanging above the head and various strange-shaped stalactites beside it.
Wanyan Tiancheng looked at the three forked roads in front of him and said, "Which way should we go next?"
He didn't expect the cave to be so intricate.
Gu Qingying must catch Zhao Jiang. He stood at the entrance of the three caves and observed carefully before saying: "Let's take the one on the right, and the rest will be divided into two teams and choose one to go!"
She chose the cave where she was most likely to encounter Zhao Jiang.
Wanyan Tiancheng just glanced at Ming and the others.
Immediately these people divided into two teams.
Wanyan Tiancheng followed Gu Qingying to the cave on the right as a matter of course. Minghe looked at the backs of the two people leaving, hesitated for a moment and finally did not follow.
He knew his master's thoughts very well, so at this time, he should create some opportunities for the two of them to be alone.
Gu Qingying held the torch and walked forward slowly. From time to time, he would look around to see if there was any place to hide. After walking about a few dozen meters, he heard the sound of running water.
She frowned and said, "This is an underground river. I just don't know if the underground river leads to the outside."
The road ended where there was an underground river. She looked at the river carefully. The water here was not deep, and she had to walk into the water for the rest of the way.
This season is very cold.
He looked back at Wanyan Tiancheng worriedly and said, "How about you wait for me here?"
Wanyan Tiancheng looked at Gu Qingying helplessly, how could he let Gu Qingying go on an adventure alone.
He said softly: "Do you think I am someone who has left you alone? Let's go forward and look for it together!"
Gu Qingying lifted up her skirt, rolled up her trouser legs and entered the water.
The water was very cold, and Gu Qingying frowned imperceptibly.
Wanyan Tiancheng also felt the temperature of the water and said, "Otherwise, I will chase it alone. Can you wait here for me?"
This proposal was also rejected by Gu Qingying.
Gu Qingying shook her head and said, "No, since we are here, we will come together."
After walking not far, Gu Qingying heard the sound of relatively fast water, and quickly stopped and said: "There should be a small waterfall ahead, and the sound should be quite high."
After saying that, she walked to the shallow shoal where there was no water. At this time, she saw a piece of rag on a stalactite.
Instantly, Gu Qingying became alert.
"He should be nearby."
This cave hall is quite large, and the two torches did not illuminate all the corners.
Wanyan Tiancheng looked around cautiously and said, "What should we do next?"
I have to say that the other party is very cunning.
Gu Qingying looked around seriously and said: "Looking, let's not go too far and look slowly."
Since the road is gone, she believes that Zhao Jiang is still in the cave.
Otherwise he wouldn't be stupid enough to jump.
Zhao Jiang, who was hiding behind a stalactite, carefully watched the torches getting closer and closer.
He thought he could escape, but he didn't expect that he ran into this cave in panic, which turned out to be a dead end.
The big knife in his hand gave him a bit of psychological comfort.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to give it a try.
Gu Qingying carefully distinguished the various sounds coming from the cave.
Not far away is a large stalactite.
And Wanyan Tiancheng was beside him.
"Be careful." Wanyan Tiancheng said with concern.
Gu Qingying nodded and immediately looked behind the stalactites warily.
"Come out!" Gu Qingying stopped and said.
Zhao Jiang was not sure whether Gu Qingying really knew he was here or was tricking him into coming out.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Jiang walked out.
There are only two people on the other side, maybe he can still give it a try.
Wanyan Tiancheng also looked at the stalactites with vigilance.
