A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 412 Happy like a child

Hu Boyuan didn't discover anything. He didn't look back at what happened in the past. What happened is in the past. What's the point of looking back? Let the past be the past!

They soon reached the bottom of the cave. There was no passage ahead, but a stone slab hung overhead. Hu Boyuan had already passed through and waved his hand, and the slab swung open. Hu Boyuan was the first to exit, followed by Qiqi, Zhou Jingze, and Yunming. The slab was beneath a broken table, likely used for cutting vegetables. This must have been an abandoned woodshed. It was exposed to the elements, but it hadn't been demolished.

They walked out of the woodshed and saw the abandoned house of the Marshal's Mansion.

They laughed. The exit was right under their noses, but they hadn't discovered it. This underground passage must have been many years old. No one knew which dynasty built it. It must not have been built in just one or half a year.

Qiqi asked Yunming to report to her uncle, and the three of them repaired the stairwell they had entered. That was probably where the excavated soil was transported out. They simply piled it on the dam, so no one would suspect anything. It was a brilliant move.

The three of them quickly returned to the moat and covered the stone slabs. Qiqi then took out some waterproofing agent from the space and applied it to the joints of the stone slabs, preventing water from leaking downwards. They then laid a layer of soil, returning to the original shape.

This passage will become a secret passage for the border city, which is more beneficial for protecting the border city. If a neighboring country attacks the border city, a team of soldiers can be sent through the passage to sneak attack the enemy, and then cooperate with the enemy from inside and outside to quickly retreat.

They quickly returned to the Marshal's Mansion, where Yun Ming had already reported everything. Zhao Liancheng instructed him to continue cleaning the moat without making a sound. There was no need to tell more people about this underground passage; the fewer people who knew, the better, as this would keep it a secret.

Qiqi placed all the gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons into a storage ring. He gave it to his uncle, who then instructed him how to use it after he had him acknowledge it with a blood oath. Soon, Zhao Liancheng moved a box of gold ingots out of the storage ring.

He jumped up with joy like a child. He also saw many things inside. This was also the first time he knew about storage rings. He originally thought that storage rings were only things in martial arts legends and never took them seriously.

This time, Qiqi gave him one and placed all the items from the underground passage inside. This excited him immensely. This niece and her friends were truly amazing. They were incredibly skilled, possessed all sorts of goodies, and had constantly surprised him since childhood. Now, she and the Crown Prince didn't want all the gold, silver, and weapons, so they gave them all to Bianguan City. He grabbed Yunming, pinching his face. Was this true? He had given it all to them. He watched Yunming nod and cry out in pain before he stopped.

Qiqi, Zhou Jingze, and Hu Boyuan watched them laughing and jumping high, but they all smiled silently. They didn't say anything, letting them calm down before speaking.

"Uncle, I'm leaving first. Please calm down. I'll come to you tomorrow to discuss your taking over the Yongning Kingdom." After Qiqi finished speaking, without waiting for her uncle to reply, they took off into the air and returned to Fuxiangju.

Ling Xuzi was still drinking tea on the top floor of Fuxiangju, waiting for them to come back.

Qiqi told her master about their trip to the underground tunnel tonight. Ling Xuzi then said, "This underground tunnel must have been there for many years. It must have been built by a prince exiled by the emperor, who wanted to raise a private army to overthrow the dynasty. It's possible that they never used it, which is why they stored so much gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons. Now that it's been discovered, it's becoming military funds for the border city garrison. That's great! The Great Zhou has saved some military funds again."

If you hadn't come, they would have opened the underground passage and taken out the things inside. The passage would have been destroyed. Because they didn't have the ability to seal the cover, the water from the moat would have flooded into the underground passage, and the passage would have been destroyed.

"Master, your analysis is correct. We have set up formations at both exits. When we leave, we will teach the remaining marshals how to break and repair the formations. They will use them as secret passages to effectively guard the border city."

They stayed with the master and chatted for a while before going to rest.

Qiqi was awakened in the middle of the night. Rumbles of thunder streaked across the sky, signaling a heavy rain was about to begin. She got up and quickly closed the window. The weather was a bit hot, so they left it open.

The sky was thick and dark, and dull thunder roared, making people feel uncomfortable. Lightning flashed in front of the window, emitting a dazzling light.

The heavy rain was pouring down. The two of them couldn't sleep because of the heavy rain.

"Qiqi, is everything okay with the river being blocked by my brothers? I'm worried it's raining heavily upstream and the moat is overflowing. Should we go take a look? If it's overflowing, we can help clear it."

"Okay, I'll get two raincoats, we'll put them on and use our spiritual energy to protect our bodies, so we won't get wet."

They soon reached the moat outside the city. The rain was pouring down, and in the distance, flashes of lightning illuminated the mountains. They watched as the rain from the mountains poured down, gathering in the moat. They reached the mound of earth the brothers had blocked off. The rain had been falling for over ten minutes, with no sign of stopping. The water level in the blocked moat was visibly rising.

"Brother Jingze, we're here at the right time. If the heavy rain continues for another half hour, the river will be full and may even overflow. The people outside the city will suffer."

They divided the work, each using their own skills to gradually move the soil blocking the moat onto the dam. The dam was raised a few centimeters. Soon the moat was cleared, and they also helped to clear the silt at the riverbed. The water from upstream immediately began to flow, and the water level upstream dropped to a safe level.

The two of them stood on the dam, watching the water rush downstream. Enshrouded in spiritual energy, they looked like two luminous bodies. If anyone saw them, they might have mistaken them for some alien species!

Just as they were about to go back, they saw many people holding lanterns and shovels, and they saw that they were lined up. They knew that the soldiers who were protecting the city had arrived. It might also be because of the rain.

Qiqi and the other two removed the spiritual shield, fearing that they would scare the ordinary soldiers, and went forward to meet them. They saw the three brothers Yunming, Yunyue, and Yunliang leading a large number of soldiers to them.

"Brothers, why are you here in such heavy rain? Are you worried about the dam?" Qiqi asked

"Qiqi, Prince, why are you here too? It's raining heavily, so go back! We'll dig out the soil that's blocking the moat and then go back." Yunyue said.
