Scheming Prince’s Conceited Consort - C197
After staring at the perseverance on Gu Shiyi’s face for a good while, she finally nodded at Gu Shiyi.
“Since you insist on going in, let this subordinate accompany you, Princess!”
After Mo Sheng finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Gu Shiyi would reject him, he quickly embraced Gu Shiyi’s waist and flew towards the Southern City’s Jiang Family Courtyard once again.
Gu Shiyi was unable to do so and could only allow Mo Sheng to make his own decision. Although the time that he and Mo Sheng had spent together was very short, and even the words that they could talk were extremely limited, but Gu Shiyi could still see that Mo Sheng had made a decision that even if there were ten oxen, he wouldn’t be able to pull them back.
Situ Jing felt chills throughout his entire body, and when he woke up, he found himself in an extremely dark and cold space.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from in front of him. Situ Jing quickly stood up from the ground and found a very hidden spot to hide. At the same time, he took out a dagger from his leg and prepared to attack and defend himself at any time.
Two men wearing white clothes, white scarves and white masks walked over to where Situ Jing had been lying with torches in hand.
The torch made the surroundings very bright, and at the place where Situ Jing was lying before, there was nothing other than a long sword.
“Eh, there was clearly a sound, but why is there no one there?”
“Do you see that sword? It might have been the person who luckily escaped from the cage, but he dropped the sword!”
“That makes sense. Let’s go back, we’ve been out for so long and haven’t brought anything back. The boss will definitely go crazy.”
One of the white-cloaked men looked around and urged his accomplices to follow him. He then took the lead and walked back the way they came.
Until the light disappeared and the surroundings became quiet once again, only then did Situ Jing carefully walk out.
Just now, Situ Jing remembered why he was here. The moment he entered the Jiang Family Courtyard, the moment his feet landed on the ground, he touched an unknown mechanism, causing him to suddenly fall into a hole in the ground.
The moment Situ Jing heard the conversation between the two white robed men, he knew that this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. Where exactly was this place, and what secrets were there?
Situ Jing walked very carefully like a cat. This stretch of dark passage was very long, making Situ Jing feel as if he had already walked out of the boundaries of Liyang City.
The sky in front of him started to grow brighter and brighter. On this path, Situ Jing walked with extreme caution, because he saw that at the end of this passage, stood two armored soldiers.
Fortunately, other than the two soldiers, Situ Jing did not see any other patrolling people. This also made Situ Jing’s situation a little easier.
Situ Jing extended his hand into his calf area, and took out a small crossbow that Gu Shiyi had upgraded to, aimed at the soldier, and pulled the trigger.
In that moment, the two soldiers fell to the ground. In Situ Jing’s heart, he thought, the Soundproof Crossbow that Gu Shiyi modified, was indeed a necessary item to kill and rob!
Situ Jing then took a look at the two soldiers who were dozing off on their own before he took a good look at the scene at the back of the passage.
The only difference was that the lighting tools here were all fist-sized Night Pearls, just like the stars in the night sky, and were embedded with the roof of this cave. Not only was it beautiful, it even made this enormous space abnormally bright, so much so that even if a mouse appeared, it would be unable to escape their eyes.
Furthermore, the eyes that were monitoring him were spread out to every corner of this space. With just a glance, Situ Jing sucked in a breath of cold air.
Situ Jing’s eyes suddenly saw the two soldiers that she had taken care of. Without thinking, he pulled one of them who had the most similar build to him over from the hole.
After taking off the soldier’s armor, Situ Jing put it on himself and used the disguise technique that Gu Shiyi gave him to look exactly like the soldier’s. At the same time, he did not forget to hide the soldier’s body.
Just like this, Situ Jing swaggered into this space that was bright as day, and did not attract anyone’s attention or suspicion.
Furthermore, Situ Jing discovered that inside this dimension, there were quite a few soldiers dressed in the same type of armor, which greatly facilitated his movements.
Situ Jing realized, in this space, other than the armored soldiers who were secretly hiding in the shadows to spy on him, the thing that he saw the most in this space was a man in a white robe.
They were all carrying trays or boxes as they travelled back and forth between the rooms that were built into the underground space. Right at that moment, a patrolling soldier happened to pass by the rooms and patrolled at the entrance. Situ Jing skillfully entered without noticing anything amiss.
After crying for a while, Situ Jing was at the door of one of the rooms when he saw the caravan that had entered during the day.
At this time, they had already changed into white robes and white scarves. One by one, they poured the liquids from the transparent bottles into a relatively larger transparent bowl.
This scene, Situ Jing felt as if he had seen it somewhere. After carefully recalling it for a while, Situ Jing finally rang out.
He had heard from Gu Shiyi that this was called experiment. Situ Jing was not surprised that Gu Shiyi knew of this, but he felt that what these merchants were doing was too inconceivable.
Gu Shiyi was not someone who came from this world. Situ Jing already knew that Gu Shiyi possessed a lot of technology and civilization that was much more advanced than this world.
So did this group of people come from the same world as Gu Shiyi?
When he thought of this, Situ Jing’s first thought was to destroy this underground space and capture all of those foreign merchants alive. This group of people, Situ Jing’s only feeling now was that they were in danger.
But suddenly, Situ Jing felt a heavy blow on the back of his head, causing him to unwittingly fall onto the ground.
A few white robed men with foreign faces ordered Situ Jing to be carried into one of the rooms with strange expressions on their faces.
