Chapter 1441 - 1441 The end of the path

1441 The end of the path

Gu shouxin raised his hand and chopped off the back of Lu Zheng’s neck, making him faint.

He had not slept for two days and two nights, so he needed to rest for a while.

……

Gu Xin was in trouble and the atmosphere in the Gu family was heavy.

!!

Other than the baby who was crying, the others didn’t talk much. Grandpa Gu had aged a few years overnight.

No one spread Gu Xin’s matter to chunnan city, but Gu si and Huo Yanyu were waiting for Gu Xin and Xie Zhiyi to take over the shift.

Gu shouxin sent someone to ask Gu si and Huo Yanyu to accompany the Empress Dowager and the Empress to the goddess Kingdom for a while. When the messenger returned, he received the news that Empress Xue was pregnant. They had no plans to go to the goddess Kingdom.

This was supposed to be a happy thing, but the Emperor couldn’t be happy when he heard it.

The Lang GE Kingdom’s people had planned so deeply, and such a long secret passage, how much time would it take?

On the third night of Gu Xin’s abduction, Gu Nian did not rest or sleep as she made a basket of things. Lu Zheng, who was guarding her laboratory, took the basket and headed towards the cave without a second word when he heard that she had finished.

Gu Nian wanted to follow but was stopped by Gu Hui. “We’ll go back and rest for four hours. I’ll go over in a while.”

Gu Nian, who had not slept since Gu Xin’s accident, also agreed.

Gu Nian knew that no one else in the world cared about Gu Xin more than Lu Zheng. Only Lu Zheng would always place Gu Xin first in his heart.

Even if they were a part of the Gu family, they had too many family members and could not be like Lu Zheng, who was dedicated to Gu Xin at all times.

Therefore, she was very assured to let Lu Zheng do this.

He would sleep for four hours and eat a Jade bead. He believed that he would recover his energy and then go to the cave.

Lu Zheng asked second white and the rest to sleep as well. When they reached the cave, Peng ze was there. The two of them entered the secret passage. Peng ze knew how to use it. He prepared himself and ran back with Lu Zheng.

It was another morning. Everyone felt the earth shake, but it was only for a short while. The movement was not big, so they didn’t take it seriously.

After a long while, when the smoke dissipated, Lu Zheng and Peng ze swam in the river. The smell of the smoke was not pleasant.

The two of them walked forward. The more they walked, the more turns there were. No matter how good your sense of direction was, after being circled for a while, you definitely wouldn’t be able to tell North, South, East, and West.

After walking for about six hours, they came to a fork in the road. One side was with the underground river, while the other side had no underground river.

Zhou Yuan, let’s take one each. Give me the water bag and you’ll go by the underground river. Peng ze said.

“Give me your waterskin. You go this way. Be careful.” Lu Yang said.

As he spoke, he went forward to grab the water bag from Peng ze’s hand. Then, he went to the underground river to fill two water bags with water. He took them and went to the other side without looking back.

Peng ze licked his lips and let out a breath. He took the Trotter and followed the underground river.

In the end, they didn’t have to walk for long before they reached the end of the road. They couldn’t pass through the water, and there was an iron fence blocking them.

Peng ze walked back to the fork in the road and chased after Lu Zheng.

It took him a few hours to catch up to Lu Zheng. At that time, Lu Zheng was taking a break, holding an embroidered shoe in his hand.

“Third sister’s?” Peng ze sat down.

“Yes, I am. There’s a dry well up ahead. I’ll take a break and climb up.” Lu Zheng passed the remaining water to Peng ze.

Pengze only took a small sip.

“We’ve been walking in the secret passage for more than twenty hours.” Peng ze said after drinking some water.

“More or less.” Lu Zheng stood up. general ze, wait for me here. I’ll go up and take a look.
