Although Wan He suddenly issued such an order, Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised. However, Cheng Yaojin still followed Wan He's order. Wan He himself speeded up directly in the direction of the cave. Soon he was We came to the cave. As soon as we entered the cave, we found that Du Ruhui and Shang Ruyun, who were studying the map here, were gone.
At this critical moment, Du Ruhui and Shang Ruyun disappeared, which made Wan He anxious. Wan He immediately grabbed the soldiers guarding the side and shouted, "Where are Master Du and Mr. Shang?"
Wan He originally wanted to lift the soldier. But his small arms and legs meant that he wanted to lift a sturdy soldier. This was not the least bit difficult. The soldier looked at Wan in front of him with a strange look on his face. He was still thinking about whether to stand on tiptoes to cooperate. However, he immediately answered Wan He's question: "Go back to the room where Mr. Du and Mr. Shang are. It seems that they have found the entrance to the tunnel. .”
The entrance to the tunnel was found. Wan He was overjoyed when he heard the news. This could not have been more timely. Immediately, Wan He followed the direction of the soldier's finger and walked over. As soon as he passed a room, he heard something in front of him. The voices of Du Ruhui and Shang Ruyun were heard, and Wan He quickened his pace. Following the sound, he finally found the room where the two of them were.
As soon as he entered the room, Wan He saw another big hole appeared in the center of the room. The hole was deep and bottomless. He didn't know what was going on inside. At this moment, Du Ruhui and Shang Ruyun were also Standing at the entrance of the cave, he seemed to be studying the situation inside the cave. When they saw Wan He come in, the soldiers guarding the side also saluted Wan He. Wan He waved his hand and walked straight to Du Ruhui's house. He said to them, "How about this? Is this cave the entrance to the tunnel?"
Du Ruhui frowned. This was the first time he saw such an uncertain expression on his face. He only heard Du Ruhui say: "According to what is depicted on the map, it should be the entrance to the tunnel. However, no one has been sent in to try it out yet. Give it a try. So..."
"There is no time." Wan He directly interrupted Du Ruhui and explained the reason for the matter. Finally, he said: "Based on this situation, Li Jiancheng should have known that we are hiding here. The troops he sent We have eliminated them. Soon Li Jiancheng and even Li Yuan will send an army to see Yanggu. Therefore, we must leave here immediately. The only thing that can allow us to leave safely at the moment is this tunnel. We must act immediately .”
After listening to Wan He's words, Du Ruhui also agreed with Wan He's decision. Now is indeed not the time to procrastinate. Du Ruhui immediately took over Wan He's command and directed his soldiers to the camp. All the supplies and equipment were transported here. At the same time, Du Ruhui ordered ten more soldiers to be the pioneers to explore the tunnel and enter the tunnel first.
The situation in this tunnel is unknown. There is a high possibility of encountering danger if you go down the tunnel first. But these soldiers are also elites carefully selected from the Luoyang Army. They are extremely loyal to Wan He. For Wan He's safety, of course they They were willing to die. So after Du Ruhui gave the order, these ten soldiers immediately jumped out of the tunnel without saying a word.
Not long after, Tai Shifeng and Cheng Yaojin also arrived. As for Du Hao and Zhu Muwu, they stayed in the camp to direct the soldiers to evacuate. Tai Shifeng and Cheng Yaojin came with them. There were also several people from the merchants and others. Injured Zhang Qingyu. In addition to Shang Ruyun, Shang Yan, Shang Ke and Wanhe's cousin Wan Cheng, the Shang family also has Shang Ruyun's youngest daughter Shang Yuer. Shang Yuer is only a teenager. She was very cute and had a lively personality. But the atmosphere was so tense now. Shang Yue'er also sensed that something was wrong. She hugged her eldest brother Shang Yan tightly and refused to let go.
The current situation did not allow Wan He to comfort the little girl. He nodded. Wan He also followed Du Ruhui and directed the soldiers into the tunnel. After the ten soldiers went in to explore the way, the next step was by Tai Shifeng led the soldiers to go into the tunnel one after another. When there were three to four hundred people left, the next ones to go in were the four merchants and Wan Cheng. Zhang Qingyu followed closely behind. The unconscious Yi Fan was even more... Two soldiers carried the stretcher. The next soldier also held Shang Ruyun's precious books and followed closely behind. They got into the tunnel together.
After all the books and necessary supplies were transported in, Du Ruhui looked at Wan He and said: "Your Majesty, it's your turn next. Come in quickly. General Cheng, you will protect the Prince. Brother Shujie, you will also follow. Prince, let’s go together. I’ll wait a little longer.”
Although Wan He was a little hesitant about Du Ruhui's arrangement, he still followed Du Ruhui's arrangement. Now every moment was crucial and he was not allowed to waste any time. So Wan He still followed Du Ruhui's arrangement and dived in. In the tunnel.
After entering the tunnel, Wan He discovered that this tunnel was actually not narrow. Compared with the tunnel above that entered the cave, it was much wider. Not to mention Wan He, even Cheng Yaojin had a sturdy figure. It is also possible for two or three people to walk side by side. And I don’t know how this tunnel is designed. It is obviously underground. There is actually a slight breeze blowing, making the air inside not stuffy at all. It is so big A project. God knows how those remnants of the great merchants built it.
Of course, now is not the time to worry about these things. Wan He used the faint light of the torches placed by the soldiers in front to speed up and move forward. This walk took a long time because the sun and moon could not be seen underground. Wan He didn't know exactly when. In short, they just rested when they were tired from walking. When they were hungry and thirsty, they drank water and ate solid food. News came from behind. Du Ruhui and the others had safely retreated into the tunnel. And they were entering. After tunneling, Du Ruhui also deliberately re-sealed the entrance to the cave and the tunnel, hoping to hide it from the enemy.
I don't know how long they walked. Maybe it was five days. Maybe it was ten days. Anyway, Wan He and others just stayed in the tunnel. Even until the end, they just kept walking along the tunnel, relying entirely on instinct. If everyone hadn't joked and teased each other from time to time, and walked in the dark for so long, everyone would have gone crazy.
Finally, after Wan He woke up twenty-seven times, the people in front stopped. There can only be one explanation for this situation. That is, the people in front had reached the end of the tunnel. I thought At this point, Wan He was so happy that he jumped up. However, he hit the stone above his head. The pain was so painful that Wan He almost burst into tears.
At this time, Du Ruhui and others from behind also rushed over. Zhu Muwu looked at Wan He and asked, "My lord, what's going on in front? But it's already the end."
"Probably." Wan He gently rubbed his head and nodded. At this time, Tai Shifeng also sent someone from the front to ask Wan He for instructions. Sure enough, he had already reached the tunnel entrance. But it was just that The tunnel entrance was sealed by a stone slab. Although it should be able to be opened, Tai Shifeng did not dare to act hastily. He specially sent someone to ask Wan He for instructions. After listening, Wan He said nothing and just made the decision. Said: "We must be going out. Then why are we waiting here? Could it be possible that everyone will stay here and become cavemen?"
Naturally, no one knew what Wan He meant by the cavemen on the top of the mountain. However, Wan He's meaning could not be more obvious. Du Ruhui waved his hand to stop the soldier who was about to pass the order. He frowned and said, "What if According to the signs on the map, the exit of the tunnel should be near Tongguan. Tongguan is under the control of Qu Tutong and still belongs to the Li family's sphere of influence. We still have to be more careful. It is better to let Cheng The general and others will go to the tunnel entrance first. Together with General Taishi, they will open the tunnel entrance. After confirming that there is no danger, the army will exit the tunnel."
What Du Ruhui proposed was also a word of caution. Naturally, Wan He agreed to this suggestion. With a wave of his hand, Cheng Yaojin, Du Hao and Zhu Muwu all walked forward. Even Zhang Qingyu, whose injuries were almost healed, also He followed. After about two hours, news came from the front. It was confirmed that the exit was safe. There was no problem. After getting such an answer, Wan He couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately followed all the soldiers. Rush directly towards the tunnel exit.
On the way to the exit, Wan He had clearly felt that the tunnel had an upward trend. When walking, it felt a bit like going uphill. After walking for about half an hour, Wan He finally felt a burst of light coming from the front. .It was a light that was completely different from the light of the torch. Seeing that somewhat unfamiliar light, Wan He immediately felt endless joy in his heart. The pace under his feet could not help but speed up a lot.
Finally, Wan He walked to the entrance of the tunnel and stepped outside. The sun shone on his body, and he felt that long-lost warm feeling. Suddenly, Wan He felt a sense of happiness that was about to float. This was the first time Wan He felt the sunshine like this. The beauty. He took a deep breath. Wan He spread his arms and said with a smile: "Mom, this young master can be regarded as seeing the light of day again."
Hearing Wan He's words, the soldiers who came out earlier also burst into laughter. In fact, Wan He was shouting out their thoughts. The moment each of them came out, they all had the same idea as Wan He. Mommy, it's finally out.
