Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: I’m Going to Find Her! (Third Update)_1 Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: I’m Going to Find Her! (Third Update)_1 Ten guards, upon hearing Tong Sanlang’s words, immediately started searching throughout the room.

A moment later, they made a discovery.

Underneath the pile of firewood in the woodshed, there was a secret tunnel.

The reason they had found it so quickly was that the firewood was scattered, and the anomaly was apparent at a glance.

The tunnel was small; jumping down, one found the space less than a meter high, requiring one to walk bent over. With the light of the torches, it was clear that there were fresh crawling marks on the ground.

The marks were fresh; it seemed Jia Cheng had not run far.

Realizing this, Tong Sanlang, without a second thought, bent down to pursue.

Seeing this, the other guards hurriedly stepped in to stop him, “Scholar Tong, this is too dangerous. We should call for more people to come, and we can all go down together.”

The tunnel was pitch-black and less than a meter high; one could only crawl inside.

No one knew where it led, and staying inside was too oppressive. If something were to happen to Tong Sanlang, they couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang, deeply sensing the reason in their words, said, “Then find someone to send a message, have the Imperial Guards patrol around an area of five miles from the Imperial Palace, and see if they can find Jia Cheng’s tracks.”

“And what about you?” the guards asked him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. A Jia Cheng who knows no Martial Arts won’t affect me,” Tong Sanlang said as he took the torch from their hands and started moving forward with a bent back.

Jia Cheng had not been gone long, and there was still a chance to catch up. If he were to escape due to any delay, Tong Sanlang would bear a great sin.

Emperor Yongan and several others had already been deeply poisoned, and since he had received Yang Wenxiao’s orders, he had to take charge at this moment and had to capture Jia Cheng.

Seeing him stooped with torch in hand, truly proceeding along the tunnel, the ten guards exchanged glances, and finally, one of them stepped forward and went to the Imperial Palace to find Yang Wenxiao.

Arriving at Da’an Palace out of breath, he relayed Tong Sanlang’s words while panting heavily.

Qiao Xiaomai stood by, feeling rather horrified, “What? Tong Sanlang went into the pitch-black secret tunnel all by himself?!”

This fool, did he really need to be so desperate!

She didn’t hide the concern on her face, and Yang Wenxiao glanced at her, instructing Ren Zhong to do as Tong Sanlang had said.

Qiao Xiaomai bit her lip and said, “Your Highness, I would like to take a look at Jia Cheng’s house.”

“What are you going to do? Add to the chaos? Just stay here,” Yang Wenxiao refused without a second thought.

Yang Hao sat to the side, looking anxious. Hearing Qiao Xiaomai’s words, he advised, “Miss Qiao, Tong Sanlang is probably already deep inside the tunnel by now. Even if you go, you won’t be able to see him. It’s better to stay here and wait.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai unconsciously bit her lip, “I want to find him. I don’t feel at ease about his safety.”

That Jia Cheng was someone who used poison. She wasn’t worried about Tong Sanlang in a fair fight, but she feared the opponent’s sneaky tactics!

Imagining what might happen, her little face gradually turned pale, “I need to go find him!”

As she spoke, she moved toward the entrance of the hall.

“Come back!” Yang Wenxiao, seeing this, shouted sharply, “Stop her!”

Da’an Palace was the safest place in the entire world, and he had promised Tong Sanlang that he would ensure Qiao Xiaomai stayed by his side without taking a single step away.

If Tong Sanlang was risking his life to find Jia Cheng, then he could not break his word.

“No, I have to find him!” Qiao Xiaomai pushed Ren Zhong, who was blocking her path, aside and ran towards the entrance of Da’an Palace.

Caught off guard by her push, Ren Zhong stumbled a few steps back, his eyes wide with surprise. Then he hurriedly ran after her, “Miss Qiao, you can’t go!”
