Chapter 12 Chapter 12: Small Boat(12)

Xiyuan nodded; "You have done a good job, you should not be just a centurion for being so calm when encountering major events." Hearing the words, De Qiu couldn't suppress it, and suddenly his brows were filled with joy, he held back and didn't say anything, but his fair face was flushed with excitement.In Xiyuan's words, he was clearly saying that he would be promoted, and in Xiyuan's capacity, De Qiu had no doubts that his words would not be fulfilled. "Don't worry," Xiyuan smiled, "It's not difficult to be promoted, but you have to wait until I really dig out a little princess from the hole."

"Little princess?" Lu Guichen suddenly understood. "Yes, Uncle said, if you don't get here, you can't tell anyone, and you didn't tell you along the way. According to various news in the past two days, Ying Wuyi didn't take that charming Princess Xiaozhou seriously at all, and led the troops to break through He neither took her away nor executed her on the spot, so the princess should still be hiding somewhere here. If De Qiu's information is accurate, there may be a delicate little beauty hidden in this bad-smelling cave." Xi Yuan tried to stretch his head to look inside, but it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, only heard the faint sound of dripping water.

"Have you ever seen the princess? How do you know it's a little beauty?" Lu Guichen followed him to look around. Xiyuan thought for a while: "Princess, she is naturally a little beauty. Our Princess Ji in the Tang Dynasty is also a beauty. I think that all princes will definitely not marry an ugly woman, so no matter how ugly the father is, the daughter will not marry her." How ugly is it? This princess Xiaozhou is a descendant of the royal family, the child of the Chu Wei king, and has been a beautiful mother, a beautiful grandmother, a beautiful great-grandmother, so she must be a beauty."

Hearing what he said, Lu Guichen couldn't help laughing, he couldn't figure out where Xiyuan's strange ideas came from. "But I heard that Chu Weiguo is the heroine." He said. "The heroine's husband may be a peerless beauty." Xi Yuan turned to talk to De Qiu, "What is down there?" "It's an abandoned well. The subordinates found a handyman here and asked about it. He said that when the Shangyang Pass was built seven hundred years ago, the water level of the well was higher than it is now. The location of the underground water veins under the Shangyang Pass It was very deep. At that time, only twelve wells were drilled with all the manpower. Later, the water level dropped, and this well could not pump water, so it was abandoned. However, there is still a water vein under the well. Therefore, it is very cold in summer, so someone proposed to dig a warehouse from the wall of the well to store fresh vegetables and meat, and it is said that it will not rot for a month."

Xiyuan looked along De Qiu's pointing, and there was a dark square opening on the side of the deep part of the well wall, which seemed to be a small stone door. "Hiding in this kind of place, I'm afraid that people will rot, but there are still vegetables and meat?" Xiyuan didn't believe it. "However, the handyman said that after the princess and her party were intercepted, they were indeed placed in this barracks, but he didn't see the princess and the female family members leaving. If you want to see people die or see corpses, the subordinates of this camp have already searched , there are no other suspicious clues." De Qiu said.

"Believe it or not, I can't let go of this opportunity. If a beautiful corpse is really found, the generals of the various countries will probably look even worse! I'll go down and have a look myself." Xi Yuan stretched his hand back. De Qiu immediately handed over the torch.This young centurion was extremely intelligent, and when he brought Lu Guichen and Xiyuan here, he brought four torches soaked in tung oil and a bundle of long ropes with him.Xiyuan and Lu Guichen each took two sticks, one sticking to their backs in their belts, and the other in their hands.De Qiu also drew out his saber, looking eager to try.

"You stay here, and I will go down with Young Master Chen." Xi Yuan turned his head and glanced at him, "Arrange your subordinates and the fifty people we brought around to be on guard. Without my order, no one is allowed to go down the well." !" "Major General... This subordinate dare not take on the responsibility." De Qiu was stunned. Xiyuan didn't look at him, he fixed the rope to the stone pier where the horse was tied, and tied the other end to Lu Guichen's waist and his own.Then he glanced back at De Qiu, and smiled: "Why, look down on us pampered and pampered children? Young Master Chen and I are in Daliuying, Nanhuai City, but we are also well-known figures, so what's the point of going down the well?"

De Qiu looked at the majestic young general, then at the dignified but peaceful barbarian boy beside him, and the other two were also looking at him.The three looked at each other, all showing the kind of smiles that only young people have.De Qiu has always been cautious, but now he feels that there is not that much difference between himself and the noble barbarian young master and the promising family general. "Your subordinate must order!" De Qiu bowed his head and answered firmly. Xiyuan untied the rope, took the lead in going down, and carefully climbed down the cracks in the wall of the well.He lit the torch, and suddenly the well was lit up, and a large group of buzzing mosquitoes was startled and flew upwards.
