Chapter 36 Suspicion

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You can even be killed even if the princess is by my side, but do you think I can leave my beloved wife in the dangerous and unpredictable halfway?" Da Ji Zhongyuan suddenly spoke loudly.

"Since I have decided to take the princess to the tomb, it means that I am ready to take all these risks. I am a husband and wife of the princess, how can I repent? If I don't even have the ability to protect my wife today, how can I protect the descendants of the Daji family in the future and protect the people of the Yin Realm? Your suggestion is not only humiliating the princess, but also humiliating me!"

"Your Highness!" Ah Zhong still wanted to persist, but Zhifeng and others saw that Daji Zhongyuan was already angry and could not watch the wall again, so they hurriedly pulled Ah Zhong back in secret, hoping that he would say less.

From beginning to end, Gu Gesang watched this scene like an outsider.

A Zhong’s loyalty is not adulterated, but Zhu Yi... She has always respected Da Ji Zhongming in the past, but this time she talked back to A Zhong for her?

The feeling that was wrong in her heart became even stronger.

"No need to say more, keep moving forward." Daji Zhongyuan said coldly.

Zhifeng, Zhiyan and Azhong continued to be at the forefront, each showing their magical powers to explore.

Gu Gesang called out softly that he was hungry, and Zhu Yibian hurriedly brought the food to her. Gu Gesang came out of Daji Zhongyuan's arms and signaled him to leave first, while he slowed down and walked with Zhu Yi.

She held Achai in one hand and Zhu Yi, who was peeling her a biscuit bag, looked intimate, but her expression showed some displeasure.

Seeing this, Zhu Yi smiled slowly and said softly, "My lady, don't take Lord Zhongming's words to heart."

Gu Gesang flattened his mouth, "He said right, I'm just a burden... You don't have to eat, I just want to eat... Don't peel it too loudly, and he should complain about how lazy I'm eating..."

"Everyone of Zhongming is as famous as he is, and he is dedicated to the interests of the entire Daji clan. Sometimes he will inevitably be too straightforward when speaking. His mind is always good. Lord Zhongming is not disrespectful to the princess." Zhu Yi caressed Gu Gesang's shoulder, looking very comfortable.

Gu Gesang was still not very happy, "I'm married, aren't I also a member of the Daji family? But I think his attitude towards me is far less good than that of Daji Zhongyuan! You are different. I think you are always thinking about me from my perspective!"

"The Empress is too good, I just do my duty—"

Gu Gesang interrupted Zhu Yi anxiously, "Don't call yourself a slave in front of me in the future. I am a modern person and I am really not used to this feudal etiquette system... You call yourself me, and you will get used to it if you say it a few more times. If the Zhong Butler dares to criticize you, just tell him that it is my request."

"...Empress, Zhu Yi doesn't want to see you and Lord Zhongming have a dispute over me..." Zhu Yi looked embarrassed.

Gu Gesang had a determined aura and held the compressed biscuit and took a hard bite, "How dare he argue with me? I am a dignified princess - cough cough..."

Gu Gesang, who was choked by a piece of biscuit residue, coughed repeatedly, and accidentally coughed out the Ziwu leaf in his mouth. Zhu Yi hurriedly wanted to open the box and get a new one, but it seemed that he could not find the box any longer.

At this moment, the sound of a snake spitting a letter from the cave!

"Be careful!" As soon as Zhifeng finished shouting, a huge snake head fell from the sky and approached Gu Gesang, as if he smelled delicious food. The scarlet snake with a copper bell-sized eyes were filled with greed light.

Zhixue waved his hand and stroked the air, and a sharp blade appeared in her palm. She bravely held the sword and stabbed the giant snake's triangular head, but she didn't expect another exact snake head to appear in the darkness!

"It's a three-headed snake monster!" Zhi Lei was the first to recognize the enemy, "Don't look in their eyes!"

Zhiyan turned over and restrained the second snake head. After Zhifeng padded, the golden-backed sword slashed fiercely at the third snake head.

However, the snake monster's skin was very thick, and the three ghost guards had been dealing with it for a long time, but they could not cause fatal injuries.

Gu Gesang turned his head and looked at Daji Zhongyuan, "Why don't you go and help?"

"The three-headed snake monster has great ambitions and has the attribute of being strong when it encounters strong. If I deal with it, its lethality will definitely be several times that of now." Daji Zhongyuan explained.

Gu Gesang nodded immediately, "Then according to this logic, if I deal with it, I can minimize its lethality. Then, with one sneak attack, wouldn't you easily get rid of this road blocking stone?"

Daji Zhongyuan glanced at her deeply.

That's right, but...

"You really make me look at you with admiration. The little girl who was so scared to shrink into a group when she saw a ghost before was about to come to cooperate with my ghost guards to fight the three-headed snake monster?"

"Don't praise me anymore... Look at Zhifeng and the others, it's so dangerous..." Gu Gesang couldn't help laughing and crying.

Daji Zhongyuan still didn't move. He turned his head to look at Zhu Yi, and asked in a slightly cold voice: "Has Ziwuye been found yet?"

"Ah... I found it." Zhu Yi hurriedly presented the wooden box containing the meridian leaves.

Seeing Gu Gesang re-emerge with his own eyes, Daji Zhongyuan then turned into a ghost form and jumped into the air. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly drilled into a certain snake's mouth.

Seeing this, Ah Zhong knew that Daji Zhongyuan had made some arrangements, so he hurriedly called Zhilei to cover Gu Gesang and retreat.

"Retreat?!" Gu Gesang felt unbelievable, "Zhong Yuan--"

"The snake monster is about to explode, hurry up! Retreat!" Ah Zhong no longer cared about saying respectful words.

Gu Gesang was finally pushed behind a stone wall by them, and his feet stood firm. Suddenly, a huge muffled sound was heard, followed by countless sounds of stones hitting the mountain wall.

The air was filled with the smell of fishy snake blood, but the two academic schools, A Zhong and Zhi Lei, seemed to not bother with the blood of snake monsters. They hurriedly took out the Qiankun bag on their bodies and collected a precious yin medicine such as the three-headed snake blood into their own white crystal bottle.

Confirm that there was no danger outside, Gu Gesang hurriedly broke away from Zhu Yi's hand and ran to find Daji Zhongyuan's figure.

The black cat light of Achai slowly floated in front of Gu Gesang's sight, illuminating the way forward for his master.

Among the piles of snake corpses, Gu Gesang met Daji Zhongyuan.

Compared to her, who was covered with bloodstains on her shoes, Daji Zhongyuan was like a person who had just arrived in this cave, with a clean and refreshing body, and there was no trace of a snake's belly.

He could have thought that Daji Zhongyuan would be fine earlier, but at this moment, Gu Gesang was still very excited to see him safe and sound. He trotted to him and hugged his neck tightly.

Da Ji Zhongyuan liked Gu Gesang's clingy look very much, and kissed her on the cheek, hugged her for a while before checking the other people's injuries.

In addition to Zhixue consuming a lot of spiritual energy, everyone else is also energetic.

Gu Gesang generously gave up two pieces of Ziwuye to supplement Zhixue's physical fitness. Ah Zhong felt sorry for him, but when he saw that Daji Zhongyuan had no objection, he resisted what he wanted to say.

"In terms of time, we have been in the grave for a day and a night. Is the Empress tired? There is a beehive cave in front of me, and I have been here through the maze of the wheel. We can go there for a while." Zhi Lei scratched his head, "The terrain of this underground cemetery is complicated, so I also need to stop and study the next direction."

Everyone came to the beehive cave where Zhilei had surveyed the terrain as he said. They saw that it was indeed the same as the situation he had temporarily named it. Looking around, they looked like the stone walls filled with small holes.

Daji Zhongyuan used a dead leaf in the cave to create a big blanket for Gu Gesang. Zhu Yi spread it on the ground and asked Gu Gesang to go and sleep.

Gu Gesang had eaten again, and watched Daji Zhongyuan and his group of people in a daze to practice praying to the west, and slowly fell asleep.

After falling asleep, Gu Gesang had a dream. In the dream, she and Zhu Yi slept on the same bed, but for some reason, Gu Gesang suddenly felt very scared. She looked at Zhu Yi's calm sleeping face in surprise, and always felt that something bad would happen in the next second.

As soon as this thought flashed through Gu Gesang's mind, Zhu Yi suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were empty and had no eyes!

"Zhu Yi!" Gu Gesang woke up screaming in his dream.

When she woke up, her head was resting on Daji Zhongyuan's thigh. When she opened her eyes, she saw the unparalleled face. Her heart was frightened by the nightmare and fell back to its original place.

However, Daji Zhongyuan didn't seem very happy.

"Oh, now after sleeping and having nightmares, the first reaction is to call Zhu Yi instead of husband?" He curled his lips, like a child who had lost candy.

Gu Gesang didn't know where to explain it. She looked around and saw Zhi Lei and Zhixue resting in both east and west directions, and asked in a low voice: "Where is Zhu Yi?"

"If you ask her again, I will--"

"Husband, I think Zhu Yi... is very suspicious." Gu Gesang hugged Daji Zhongyuan's arm intimately, with an expression that was extremely serious. "Although there is no evidence to prove my intuition so far, I just don't feel relieved."

After all this, Gu Gesang was still worried that Daji Zhongyuan would not believe him.

Unexpectedly, Daji Zhongyuan bowed his head and kissed, "When I leave the tomb, I will send her back to the Yin Realm and come and serve you."

"Don't worry..." Gu Gesang lay in Daji Zhongyuan's ear and whispered quietly.

After resting, everyone set out again.

They first found a strange forest underground, but later they found that the hanging hair on the trees was actually all human hair, which scared Gu Gesang to caress his chest repeatedly.

Then the way was blocked by a blood river. Floating corpses appeared in the river from time to time, with terrifying shapes and legs. There were also piranhas with long legs attacking ashore.

But the people who had survived these difficulties finally entered a quiet flat ground. If it weren't for the stone wall above their heads, Gu Gesang would have thought they had walked out of the ground as they walked.
