Ouyang Yunyao thought: Is this still the same Chu Chenjing? How did this guy become so shameless?

This time they entered the cave in the opposite direction from the first time they came. They walked along a small path in the cave that they had not checked. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, they entered a larger cave. This cave was about two meters wide, with no end in sight. The further they walked, the wider it became.

Half of the cave was flooded. Chu Chenjing threw a stone into the water. The water was quite deep! The further they walked, the larger the water surface became. In the end, the two could only walk along the mountain wall.

At this time, two small boats came into their sight. There was no one on the boats. Could this be the main passage in and out of the cave?

Ouyang Yunyao thought: So that's how it is. Those people in the cave weren't just carrying weapons, but were preparing to carry them to the boat? No wonder there were several carts parked nearby.

"Ajing, do you know where this is?"

"This could be a tributary of the Cang River. They should have entered and exited through this waterway."

"Well, nine times out of ten."

"A Jing, let's put on our invisibility cloaks in case there's someone ahead of us."

"Ok."

Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing turned a small corner along the rock wall, and suddenly they saw a clear view in front of them. The cave entrance was 20 meters ahead! There was also a piece of water outside the cave. You could see that the water in the cave was connected to the water outside the cave, but you couldn't see much because the cave entrance was not very big, only less than three meters wide.

Although the two were wearing invisible cloaks and were not afraid of being seen by others, they could not go any further as there was no road ahead.

Ouyang Yunyao asked, "There's no one guarding here. Aren't they afraid that someone will come in from here?"

Chu Chenjing said, "Maybe they are in a hurry to transport the weapons, so the guards just went to move the weapons?" As he spoke, he took out the telescope that Ouyang Yunyao gave him and looked at the entrance of the cave. You wouldn't know until you see it. It turns out that there is a big iron gate at the entrance of the cave. Maybe it's because they need to transport things. At this time, the iron gate is open, and there is a body of water outside.

"Yaoyao, look, there is an iron door at the entrance of the cave, and maybe there is some mechanism. The door is open now. This looks like Cangyan Lake?" Chu Chenjing took out a map from his sleeve to check it out.

"Don't they have a boat? We can go out and take a look."

"We don't know what the situation is outside, or whether there are people there. We can't act rashly." Chu Chenjing didn't want Ouyang Yunyao to be in any danger.

Chu Chenjing has confirmed that outside the cave is Cangyan Lake. Although it does not belong to Guannan Prefecture, the lake is located at the junction of Nanjun Prefecture, Guannan Prefecture and Cangyu Prefecture.

"Watch me!" Ouyang Yunyao took out two bird flight monitors from the space, turned on the switch, released the two birds, and handed one of the monitors to Chu Chenjing, while she checked one herself, and both of them put on headphones.

Now Chu Chenjing can use the high-tech products he has seen with ease. The bird flew through the cave and flew over the lake.

The two of them grasped the entire water surface situation through the monitor. The lake was like a reservoir, with cliffs on both sides of the lake. The cliffs were half submerged in water, which was a bit steep, but also very beautiful, somewhat similar to the Three Gorges in China.

Through the monitor, we can see that there is a small open space next to a cliff opposite the cave, which seems to be a small dock, with two small boats docked here. Ouyang Yunyao controlled the bird to fly closer. There is a small cave on the cliff, and several people are ambushed in the cave. They are holding bows and arrows to monitor the lake and the cave entrance.

"A Jing, that was close. Look at the mountain opposite. There is a cave with archers inside!"

"Well, across the way is Guannan Prefecture. I didn't expect that the emperor's uncle would use this body of water to train private soldiers and forge weapons. In this deep mountain valley, it is really not something that ordinary people can think of."

"Aren't there usually any fishing boats here? Why hasn't anyone discovered this cave?"

"Yaoyao, this lake connects three states, and this side of the cave belongs to Nanjun State."

Chu Chenjing told Ouyang Yunyao about the topography of this area. "The upper reaches of this lake is a tributary of the Cang River. On one side is Cangnan County of Nanjun Prefecture, and on the other side is Guannan Prefecture, the fief of Uncle Nan." Chu Chenjing operated the monitor in his hand and pointed to Ouyang Yunyao on the monitor screen.

"But the areas near the lake in Cangnan County are all mountains, and you can only enter Cangyan Lake by boat from the tributaries of Cangnan County. But this lake is very strange, and the places connecting the upstream and downstream are all gourd mouths, which means that large ships cannot enter. This is not a waterway, so there are few ships from Nanjunzhou coming here."

Chu Chenjing operated the monitor in his hand again, letting the bird fly higher, and pointed at the mountains for Ouyang Yunyao to see.

Ouyang Yunyao watched him operate smoothly and couldn't help but sigh, "A Jing, I didn't expect you to be so good at operating this monitor."

"Yaoyao, this is really a good thing, so magical!"

Ouyang Yunyao asked again, "Then there are no other fishermen in this lake?"

"Yes, there are people fishing in Cangyuzhou, but they are far away from here, and the waterway here is narrow, so generally no fishing boats come here. At most, they go to the center of the lake."

"Then there is no one fishing in Guannan Prefecture?"

"Guannan Prefecture is Uncle Wang's territory. He will never allow ordinary people to come here. Who dares to come?"

"Then where does this lake water lead to?" Ouyang Yunyao seemed like a curious baby, asking questions one after another.

"There is an outlet in front of the lake, which can be considered a tributary, and there are mountains on both sides. This tributary goes all the way to the mountains in southern Xinjiang. There are swamps and miasma around there, and few people can go there."

Ouyang Yunyao thought: No wonder the King of Guannan made such exquisite use of this lake and was not afraid of being discovered, what a unique geographical condition!

That southern Xinjiang sounds like the Xiangxi Mountains in China.

Ouyang Yunyao asked again, "Then Guannan Prefecture borders Southern Xinjiang?"

"Yes, at that time, my grandfather appointed Uncle Nan as the emperor here, and also wanted him to guard against Southern Xinjiang. But Southern Xinjiang has always been on good terms with us."

The two of them looked around and basically understood the situation. Chu Chenjing said, "Yaoyao, we have almost figured out the situation. It's not easy to get out from here. Let's quickly return the way we came."

Ouyang Yunyao put away the bird monitor in her hand and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two returned to the valley along the same route and left the valley through the crevice that Hong Haotian pointed out in the morning.

After leaving the valley, Ouyang Yunyao looked at the clock in the space. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

Chu Chenjing didn't say anything, he just put his arms around Ouyang Yunyao's slender waist and climbed over the mountain through the grass and trees.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Chu Chenjing sent a signal, and Ouyang Yunyao released two horses from the space. The two men mounted the horses and drove quickly along the official road towards the Nanjun provincial capital.
