Wow!
Everyone was suddenly rescued, and their emotions were inevitably agitated. When they were dragged up the cliff by the carriage, their hands and feet were shaking and moving wildly. It took a long time before they returned to normal.
Yue Guanchao saw rumbling and shaking under the cliff. He stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down.
The river mud finally broke through the confinement of the grotto and poured down from an altitude of tens of meters. The mud and ash spewed out, making the Tianchi below turbid. Such high temperature naturally caused the water surface to boil and smoke, just like cinders poured out by cold water. , choking smoke rising hundreds of meters high!
Yue Guanchao couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. When he coughed again, the saliva in his mouth turned black.
Song Siyuan followed closely and looked down carefully. She couldn't help but feel frightened. Everyone really listened to her words and jumped off the Tianchi. The high-temperature mud alone was enough for them to drink a pot.
"Huh~, why did you suddenly come to save us!"
Yue Guanchao looked behind him. There were three carriages standing on the edge of the cliff. There were weighted iron blocks under the carriages, all with trailing hooks. The hemp ropes were tied to the trailing hooks to pull them all up the cliff. From this point of view, This was definitely not a sudden rescue, but a deliberate one.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If we don't come to save you, you will have no choice but to jump into Tianchi Lake and die."
Lou Yunxian listened to Chao Linyuan's unceremonious teasing words and stabbed him in the arm out of anger, then stood up and explained:
"This is not sudden. Since you went to the tomb, the court has been planning how to save people. In addition to the strong men left at Hualian Peak, there are also some strong men patrolling the mountains near Tianchi. As long as they find any living people If there are any traces of people, we must go to the rescue immediately.”
"The night you went to the tomb, there were several vibrations from Hualian Peak. I was afraid that you might also be in the tomb, so I took Chao Linyuan to patrol the mountain. I didn't get much rest all night, and we thought you were dead. When I saw the white eagle suddenly flying towards Tianchi, I remembered that it had a connection with you, and then I realized your location."
"You have to thank, you also have to thank this white eagle, it discovered you."
Yue Guanchao listened to Lou Yunxian's words and recalled his experience in the tomb. Those few vibrations should be the collapse of the Wangqiao and the fracture of the tomb chamber.
"Where are the stewards and those strong men?"
Chao Linyuan was looking at his cigar at the side, looking at them who were gray-headed and covered in mud. He saw that the butler Chao was not there, and his face was slightly dissatisfied.
Yue Guanchao thought in his mind that the Chao family members were gone, and it was all thanks to the words of those who had been to the grave. He wanted to scold Chao family members for being timid, but he felt that the words were very inappropriate.
In fact, it was indeed because Chao Dacheng was greedy for life and fearful of death and wanted to take credit, so he did bad things with good intentions and led all the strong men to a dead end. He wanted to rescue Chao Guanjia at the last moment, but the old man had been eaten by the pigeon. It was clean and treatment was useless, so he was sent on his way in advance.
If we tell the truth, we will inevitably end up with the reputation of killing the housekeeper of the Chao Dynasty. It will not only discredit the Chao family but also be bad for ourselves. If Chao Dacheng's family comes to seek revenge, it will be even more disturbing, and it may even implicate these strong men. The family cannot get the reward money.
He chewed the words in his mouth, and he immediately knew what to say, which was more important and more important. He simply made up a decent excuse, and said with a slight sadness:
"Young master, to tell you the truth, going to the tomb was extremely difficult and dangerous. The housekeeper and his brothers protected us all the way when we crossed Wangxiang, crossed the Nai River, visited the ancient city, encountered dragons, and fought pigs. It was a narrow escape. Unexpectedly, we were killed when we were going down to the tomb. Injured by the beast, the housekeeper and the brothers tried to cover our escape and suffered numerous casualties and were buried in the cave."
"Buried in the cave? I think you killed them on purpose~"
After finishing speaking, Chao Linyuan picked up the dagger gun on his waist and pointed it at Yue Guanchao: "Do you think I'm a fool? The old man is still alive, but these strong men are dead. Maybe it was you who caused trouble and ruined them. It’s in the underground palace.”
These words, judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, made Yue Guanchao feel like a ghost. He wanted to take action, but the carriage in front deliberately coughed several times, and then came the scolding: "Chao Linyuan, Mr. Yue is the one I'm looking for." Master, please don't be rude."
As he spoke, the car door opened, and Chao Wenshun stepped onto the ground wearing a plain mandarin jacket. There were two long attendants behind him who put on mink coats for him.
"Mr. Yue, please forgive me. The puppy is too domineering and needs little education."
When Chao Linyuan saw that all his senior officials had come out, he had no choice but to put away his pistol and take a few steps back to give up his position.
Yue Guanchao knew that Chao Wenshun had come in person. In addition to counting the treasures, his biggest concern was probably the secret medicine to cure pigs.
He understood, clasped his fists and complimented: "Don't dare, we are juniors, so naturally we have to follow the rules of juniors. Although they die, their chivalry and courage will never be extinguished. I, Yue, admire their character and promised the housekeeper before he died. , to find a good antidote for Mr. Chao."
While speaking, Yue Guanchao paid close attention to Chao Wenshun's expression. When he mentioned the secret antidote, the hypocritical Confucian official's eyebrows tightened visibly. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and continued:
"Although this journey was extremely difficult, in the end the hard work paid off and we found him."
"I found it, what is it?"
