Wenshu was already in a mess along the way. If Shaoyao hadn't protected her from behind, she would have fallen several times.

"Feng Xing, how long will it take?"

Wenshu was indeed struggling, so she handed Xiaofuer over to the maid who served her when they entered the underground passage.

The environment here is unfamiliar, and even walking is difficult. The passage is filled with the smell of rotting corpses, which may be from rats or other dead things.

"Girl, we'll reach our destination in half an hour."

"Half an hour left"

At the current pace, it is estimated that there are still two or three kilometers to go. I don’t know where the exit of this passage is, when this passage was started to be built, and whether it was anticipated today.

"Fifth sister, Xiao Fu'er is hungry..."

"I'm hungry too..."

Just as Xiao Fuer finished speaking timidly, another boy's voice followed.

The passage is unclear and the road is difficult to walk on.

"Mrs. Fu, break off half of the pancakes in your bag and give them to the young master and the young lady."

Wen Shu followed the footsteps of those in front of her without stopping at all. It was not that she didn't want to stop, but she was worried that she would not catch up with the leader in front.

What's more, if they were slow and the eldest brother behind them caught up and stopped them, wouldn't they become sinners and bring disaster to the whole family?

Feng Xing led the way in front and listened to the girl's instructions behind him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl asked them to rest on the spot, he, as a servant, would really have no way to do it.

Xiao Fuer and his sister were fed and continued to make noise even with their mouths blocked.

Children have simple ideas, few demands, and are very easy to satisfy.

The person walking behind him suddenly stopped moving.

The guard walking behind him suddenly said, "Girl, there's movement behind us."

Feng Xing obviously noticed the movement behind him. He immediately leaned against the wall, holding his breath and pressing his ears against it.

Seeing this, Wen Shu also issued an order, "Everyone, listen up! No noise, no moving around, just stand still!"

Her words were indeed good news. Although she was just a little girl, no one ignored her words.

Following the command, the noise from the group disappeared instantly, leaving only the sounds of breathing, water dripping in an unknown corner, footsteps faintly coming from afar, and gusts of wind blowing from nowhere.

After Feng Xing finished listening, he looked at the oldest master in the room and asked, "Miss, judging from the sound, the footsteps are not messy or anxious. If I am not mistaken, the eldest master has returned!"

His eyes sparkled, and even his voice hinted at anticipation.

"No messy steps, no rush!"

Wen Shu didn't know what she was thinking about, her expression solemn. "Now everyone cheer up, speed up your pace, and reach your destination as soon as possible. If you really feel tired, you can help each other and support each other to move forward."

"Girl, have you been waiting for the master?"

Feng Xing was Wen Yao's servant after all. When he heard that the girl didn't wait for her master, he became anxious and spoke in a bad tone.

"How do you know it's Big Brother?"

"No one is chasing us, so it must be the eldest son and his group coming."

Wen Shu thought that Feng Xing was devoted to her and had no bad intentions. Moreover, he was standing there, and it looked like he would not give up until he gave an explanation.

"We have no idea where we are going, and we don't know the dangers behind us. We've been walking for so long. If it's really Big Brother and his men, they'll catch up with us in no time given their pace."

"But what if it wasn't Brother? What if our secret passage was discovered and the criminals caught up with us?"

As Wenshu spoke, there was a gasp from all around.

"What should I do..."

"We haven't even returned to our clan yet, and we haven't even left Luoyang City yet, but we're going to die in this dark underground..."

The more she talked, the more outrageous it became. If I let her continue, I would lose my composure.

The scene changed, and he continued, "Of course, what happened just now was only the worst-case scenario. What's more, if Big Brother really caught up with us, they would be behind to clean up the mess for us. I don't need to explain how dangerous it would be, everyone should know it!"

After saying this, he didn't give them any chance to question or hesitate.

He solemnly ordered, "Speed ​​up and hurry on your way now."

After that, he ordered Feng Xing in front, "Girl and boy, carry the baby in front."

After hearing the girl's analysis, my previous doubts disappeared. Besides, the girl is much calmer now.

"It's a girl"

As Wen Yao's personal servant, Feng Xing was not one to reason with the servants and guards in the girls' mansions who were used to seeing swords and sabers outside.

After following the master for a long time, his words and deeds have become somewhat like his master's.

With a stern face, he said rudely, "From now on, listen to the girl's instructions and hurry up. If anyone can't keep up with the team, unload the things in your hands. Everyone helps each other. If anyone is holding the team back..."

"When the time comes, I'll stay..."

——Stay, leave something behind.

Although everyone didn't finish their words or make them clear, everyone knew in their hearts that they had left their lives behind.

After all, this is the master's secret escape route. If you can't take the person away, then you'll have to leave your life behind.

They were all house children, which was why they had the opportunity to stay until the end, escape with the young masters of the house, and take care of them.

The other new servants in Luoyang were gradually dismissed when the eldest lady Wenjing left.

The group quickened their pace again and walked out of the passage.

As time passed, they got closer and closer to the exit, and the air in the passage began to slowly improve.

The noise behind me was getting closer and closer. Even if I didn't stick my head close to the wall of the passage to listen, I could still hear it.

"Look, girl, we're here."

Feng Xing, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke, his voice a little excited.

Feng Xing's voice sounded a little empty. He was walking in front to explore the way. He was about ten steps away from Wen Shu. His voice sounded a little empty. It was estimated that there was another bend ahead.

Because the ground was not stable, Wenshu's attention was always focused on her feet.

Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Qian Fengxing's words.

The silent atmosphere around suddenly came alive, and the people following behind obviously heard it. From the moment they entered the tunnel, they were filled with tension, depression, and fear of the unknown. Now that victory was in sight, all the fatigue was swept away.

Wenshu also quickened her pace. Sure enough, she turned back three times in a row and waited for Fengxing in front.

"Girl, look at the light ahead"

The passage was originally pitch black, and no one knew how far ahead it was. A few spots of light were circling in a regular pattern.

After swaying three times to the left, the light spot swayed two more times to the left, and so on.

"Well, this is our code for meeting. Don't worry, girl, we are safe."

The voice faintly revealed excitement.

"Everyone, cheer up! Our supporters are here. We'll be safe once we get out of here..."

"It's safe..."

"Finally escaped..."

"Wow, I thought my life was over and I was going to die in Luoyang City."

"The master is kind and didn't abandon us!"

"Yes, Master, I will never be able to save you from your kindness."

Everyone's suppressed emotions could no longer be contained at this moment.

It was as if he had found an outlet to vent his feelings, he kept on blabbering on and on, and couldn't help choking up.

"Okay, everyone, don't let your guard down. The important thing is to leave here as soon as possible."

Wen Shu just finished speaking.

"Who is where, come out!"

Interrupted by a loud shout...
