It was pitch black inside the hidden passage.

However, with Xu Xiao, a master, leading the way, there is no hindrance.

It's about tea time.

Xu Xiao stopped and casually volleyed a few fingers around the periphery.

At this moment, Shen Lian stood close and stared at it, Xu Xiao actually had a few more strands of hair between his fingers.

"Yes, there are often women in this place, and they have different identities. ”

Xu Xiao just glanced at his hair, and recognized that he belonged to a different woman.

Cao Wuxi seemed to be unsurprised by Xu Xiao's ability to identify and flick his fingers, and nodded:

"If it's in the right direction, this place must have something to do with the Maikos. ”

Xu Xiao took the lead again, and picked up a lot of hair on the way.

A moment later, a fork in the road appeared in front of me.

The three of them continued to walk, and on the left side of the fork in the road, there was a wide and long space.

There is a blood trough embedded in the floor of the space, and a large amount of blood has dried up. There are also torture instruments such as hanging rings on the walls, which are stained with blood.

Shen Lian looked up and could see that there was a thick iron plate embedded in the top.

"It should be possible to go up here, and if I'm right, it should be a private place leading to the Doge's Palace. ”

Xu Xiao raised his head and stared, and after a while, he nodded again and said:

"It's very tightly sealed, and it needs to be opened, and it was really premeditated. ”

Cao Wuxi looked around the bloodstains everywhere and hummed:

"It seems that these blood stains are from disobedient Maiko. ”

Shen Lian and Xu Xiao both nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, let's see where this secret passage leads to the outside world!"

Xu Xiao continued to lead the way in front, and Shen Lian and Cao Wuxian followed, continuing to move forward in the dark path.

After the fork on the right, the road becomes narrow.

But it's surprisingly long, as if there is no end to it.

Shen Lian calculated silently all the way.

The three of them are all masters, their feet are fast, and Xu Xiao's gaze is like a candle to lead the way. After walking for more than half an hour, he came to the end again.

At the end is a sheet of iron with a thick shape and a heavy ring.

Xu Xiao stared for a moment, shook his head and said:

"It has to be opened from the outside. ”

Cao Wuxi frowned and said:

"If you don't go out and see, how do you know where you lead?"

Xu Xiao groaned:

"I'll see if I can open it with skill. It's just that you two should pay attention, if someone from the outside world comes to obstruct it, it must be eradicated quickly, and you can't go through the cracks and startle the snake. ”

Cao Wuxian said coldly:

"What kind of people are there related to this secret passage? Let's kill a pair! You can just open the door!"

Both of them are ruthless people...... Shen Lian nodded silently.

Xu Xiao still lightly palmed and cut on the edge of the iron plate.

In an instant, the faint and changeable shock opened again.

"Shen Lian, my Senior Brother Xu's 'Spirit Rhino Palm Finger' is a superb technique in the high-level Xuangong. If you look closely, you may have some insights. ”

Cao Wuxian said with a smile.

Shen Lian was indeed figuring out Xu Xiao's move.

It seems that Xu Xiao cut his palm at a very high frequency, or pointed his fingers, and played a soft and infinite power.

This force oscillates within the environment, which is equivalent to forming a strange web.

Xu Xiao was able to rely on the feedback of his strength to spy on the weaknesses in the environment.

If it is against the enemy, then where the opponent is weak, Xu Xiao can sense it in an instant.

Such a superb exercise, coupled with Xu Xiao's unique 'Ancient Relic Eye Pupil', should also be a strong person standing at the peak in the Six Rank Realm.

By constantly cutting his palm, Xu Xiao seems to have found the weakness of the road sealing iron plate.

Immediately, with the dexterity of his fingertips, he began to remove the built-in mechanism.

Titicaca......

In the faint sound, the seemingly thick and tall road sealing iron plate was actually opened slightly.

Xu Xiao even controlled the rhythm of the opening, making the iron plate move slower and more cautiously, so as not to be detected by the outside world.

Eventually, a crack leaked through the iron plate for the baby to get out of.

Cool air from the outside permeates in.

There is a faint smell of rust, as well as a mixed smell of fishy and animal fat.

Xu Xiao stood beside the gap, pressed his fingers on the tip of his eyebrows, and stared at the environment outside the gap with the pupil of his right eye.

"It's an entrance and exit surrounded by several rockeries. ”

"A hundred steps away from here, it should be the Cao Canal in Zhongcheng District. ”

"The Midtown Cao Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion is stationed outside. If my guess is correct, the Maiko who went out of this secret passage should have taken the Cao Canal waterway, and then entered Shenke Lake and flew away. ”

Shen Lian and Cao Wuxian have been in Luodu for a long time and know the situation of Caoqu.

The Cao Canal in Zhongcheng District is a specially opened up waterway.

Fishery, wild game, yams and other things from Shenke Lake enter Zhongcheng through the waterway.

Since Zhongcheng was under the full jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace, a Cao Wu Battalion was set up to manage Cao Yun.

Nearly 100 Maiko are silently transported and left by boat, it is really impossible to know. As long as the moon and the dark wind enter Shenke Lake, it can disappear.

"What a good idea!"

Cao Wuxian snorted, "Dig out a ten-mile secret road, lead to the Cao Canal, secretly load it on a ship and transport it away, and you can disappear without knowing it." ”

After Xu Xiao observed, he got a positive answer. Cut his palm again, and slowly closed the road sealing iron plate with skill.

"Shen Lian, your inference that the truly trained Maiko have been replaced since then, and the evidence is conclusive. Then the rest of the investigation can only be done by you alone. ”

Xu Xiao groaned, "After all, Wu Wei and I are both Jinyiwei, and once we show up, we will startle the snake, and I am afraid that all clues will be interrupted." ”

"The lowly office understands that the follow-up work will be done with all its might. ”

Shen Lian thought for a while, and then said:

"I need all the detailed information of the Cao Wu Battalion, whether there are cultivators or not, and who are the most suspicious. ”

"Leave it to me, and it will be delivered to you by messenger tomorrow." Cao Wuxian nodded.

。。

Return to the Shen Mansion and wait for a day.

The exclusive carrier pigeon of the city defense battalion sent the information that Shen Lian needed.

Inside the basement of the Shen House.

Han Qingtian, Fei Yuqing, and Bao Shihu, the three of them sat around, waiting for Shen Lian's arrangement.

Shen Lian had already told the three of them the key points in the intelligence.

"Han Er, after our plan is implemented, you will create a conflict and attract the attention of the Cao Wu Battalion. It's okay to file a lawsuit and make trouble, but be sure to delay it for three days. ”

"Okay, I remember everything you said, don't worry!" Han Qingtian nodded.

Shen Lian raised the letter in his hand:

"Our goal is to lure and capture Hong Botong, the commander of the Caowu Battalion!"

"Hong Botong is an eight-grade Taoist sorcerer, and he is separated from the Governor's Mansion on the surface, and he is only in charge of Cao Yun. But the arrangement for Maiko's escape this time must have been made by him. ”

"Catch him, you can force out the information and find the clues to pursue the Maiko!"

"My lord, he is the head of the Cao Wu Battalion and a cultivator, how can we lure him out?" Fei Yuqing asked with a frown.

Shen Lian's face became strange, he couldn't help but smile, and said:

"Hong Botong has a peculiar hobby, he likes male style, and the more handsome he is, the more he likes it. ”

"......" Fei Yuqing.

"......" Bao Shihu.

"......" Han Qingtian.

The air suddenly became quiet.

But Bao Shihu and Han Qingtian seemed to hear Shen Lian's meaning, and they both turned their heads and looked at Fei Yuqing.

Fei Yuqing: "???"

He shivered as he looked at everyone's malicious eyes.
