I carefully walked to the entrance of the cave and found that the entrance of the cave had been artificially sealed. Now the seal has been destroyed.
When we walked into the cave entrance, we found no traces of animal habitation, and it was very dry inside the cave entrance.
Su Yining did not dare to walk in rashly. She first took out the Ganoderma lucidum Xiangrui that she had prepared, and casually dug a hole under an old pine tree to create a growing environment.
She took out the flare that Leng Yi gave her, silently said in her heart that she was sorry for those people, and sounded the flare to wait for the response from others.
As soon as the signal flare went off, the guards who were looking for her in the mountains also saw her and hurried to her side. At the same time, Leng Yi at the bottom of the mountain also sent people up the mountain.
Since a large amount of gravel had been cleared from the mountain, it was easier to go up the mountain, and everyone arrived at their destination in less than an hour.
What caught his eye was their princess holding something and giggling, hehehe.
"Leng Si, please see Princess, are you okay?" Leng Si's frosty face had a hint of anxiety, and his deep brown eyes looked up and down to see if anything was okay.
"What do you guys do for a living? You can actually lose someone by asking you to follow the princess? Go to the punishment hall by yourself!"
Several guards felt aggrieved, and even so they did not dare to refute at all. Indeed, it was their responsibility for the loss of the princess.
"Leng Si, stop talking about them, it's my fault... Look what this is, I just dug it!" She was also afraid that the guards would be punished because of her, so she hurriedly said a few nice words.
But Leng Si didn't think so. Whatever the master does is the master's freedom. The guard's rule is to take good care of the master. If something goes wrong, it is the guard's responsibility.
"Master, you don't have to say good things to them. If the prince were here, they would know more clearly what the consequences would be." His cold tone sounded like the god of death who could harvest lives at any time.
Su Yining twitched the corner of his mouth and quickly changed the topic: "Ahem, look at this big mushroom, it's different from usual!"
"..." Leng Si's usually cold face couldn't help but crack. He blinked and rubbed his eyes again, and finally had to believe that what the princess was holding in her arms was actually Ganoderma lucidum.
This Ganoderma lucidum is about the size of a small millstone, reddish-purple in color, and has a uniform and smooth pattern like growth rings.
Her voice also had a vibrato: "Princess, where did you pick this from?" Such auspiciousness... auspiciousness? At this time, his eyes were stunned, and he stared at Su Yining for a long time, speechless.
She casually pointed to the pit not far away and the wooden stick with dirt next to it, and fell into silence again.
The princess first found a radish and ginseng from the backyard garden, and now she went into the mountain and dug up a Ganoderma lucidum as big as a millstone. She no longer knows what words to use to describe it.
"Xiaosi? What's wrong with you?" She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him. It could be seen to the naked eye that the cold-faced guard became a little dull.
"Uh, it's okay. If nothing happens to the princess, let's go down the mountain! It's too dangerous in the mountain when it gets dark." Leng Si thought that he should go back first. He couldn't be the only one to enjoy this surprise.
Su Yining did not answer, but walked toward the cave with Ganoderma lucidum in her arms. She had a hunch that the cave would give her a surprise.
"Hey, why is there a cave here?" It was too dark, and some people didn't even notice that there was a cave here.
"Let's go in and take a look." The princess said. Naturally, the guards immediately made a judgment and lit torches to illuminate the surrounding area.
Leng Si was very experienced. He knelt down and looked at the sealed mud bricks with a very serious look on his face.
"Let's go in." He took the lead and entered.
The dim firelight illuminated the situation inside the cave, and it was discovered that the cave was much larger than expected, with obvious signs of manual excavation.
There are some discarded straws and wooden frames of unknown use in the cave walkways.
The further you walk inside, the more cluttered it becomes, with many discarded sacks.
The cave was surprisingly dry, with no trace of moisture.
"This cave is very old. I don't know when it was excavated. At least there are no records in modern times." Leng Si recalled the modern history and introduced it.
The mountains and forests around the capital have always been strictly controlled. If the village had not been burned to death and a large number of infected people were killed, it would not have been idle for so many years.
Mostly Su Yining was able to buy the mountain because she was crazy and stupid. In the eyes of many people, she was a spendthrift. Even if she opened a few shops and made money, it would be difficult to change people's impression of her.
This is also the reason why the emperor approves so quickly. On the other hand, it is to show his benevolence and let all the families see him. He is a benevolent king and he will not treat him badly even if he is a fool.
An hour later, they visited all the places in the cave.
It is almost certain that this was a place where soldiers and food were stored in previous dynasties or more distant dynasties, and it may also be a place where private soldiers were kept.
The interior of the cave is divided into four parts, each part has traces of life and is divided into several areas.
"This should be a place where I once lived." Looking at the bed boards and rotten bedding scattered on the ground, they were preserved because of the dryness of the cave.
"Look above!" Su Yining raised her head and could see the stars in the sky outside through the hole above her head.
Combined with the soil on the ground, this should be a planting area.
Su Yining didn't say much but glanced at Leng Si. After the two exchanged glances, they remained silent in a tacit understanding.
"Ah, I'm hungry, let's go back!" She said lazily, and walked out of the cave without interest, as if she came here just on a whim.
Hot spring villa.
Su Yining called all the trustworthy people around him and looked serious.
"Leng Si has already told you what happened today, right?"
The leader, Leng Yi and Chen Zhong, also understands the seriousness of this matter. He doesn't know what will happen in the future, but what he should do now is to keep it secret.
"Princess, the four guards accompanying you today will not appear in the capital in the future." Leng Yi was ruthless and decisive in doing things, and he always dealt with the root of the problem.
Only the dead can keep secrets, especially for such a serious matter. If they are sold by someone with intentions, this cave will definitely become the weakness of Prince Zhan's Mansion in the future.
"Wait a minute, Leng Yi. This cave has been on the mountain for so long. Maybe the nearby villagers who have entered the mountain also know about it. Wouldn't it be too radical to silence them directly?"
Su Yining didn't want someone to die for no apparent reason, so she couldn't help but try to dissuade her.
"Princess, Leng Yi, please calm down first." Seeing the tension between the two sides, Chen Zhong hurriedly acted as a peacemaker.
Leng Yi is the commander of the bodyguards. In the absence of the prince, he is responsible for the stability of the mansion. Once an unknown factor appears, he will definitely use thunderous means to eliminate it.
Although Su Yining married into the palace as a princess, she was... she was just a princess, not a mistress.
"There is no need to talk about this matter. The princess hopes you know that the situation in Prince Zhan's Mansion is not optimistic and cannot be tolerated by women. If the guard's nonsense causes bad consequences, no one can afford it!"
She had to admit that what Leng Yi said was right, and she was indeed soft-hearted.
