Chapter 256: The Secret in the Stone Cave
On this night, Master Mi replaced the night guard in the area of the ancient castle with the servants of Mifu, thinking that the quality of the servants was better than that of the soldiers. The biggest advantage of the soldiers is to listen to orders, and only those who have a commander can play their best combat performance, and the servants also come from the army, but their combat initiative is stronger than that of the soldiers, even if there is no one to command them, they will complete the combat mission with high quality as usual.
This is a method taken considering that no anomalies have been found in the area of the manor for several days, and whether there is a loophole in one link.
The servant who was on duty at a hidden observation point on Elephant Trunk Mountain, who had eaten too much pickles tonight, was thirsty for a while, and saw the well house a mile to the north, and hurried there to get some water to drink.
When they came to the well a foot away, they noticed in the hazy moonlight that two figures were sneakily running out of the well house.
These are two suspicious people, deserted valleys, dark nights, why come here in this situation?
The servant did not bother to drink water, but stomped on them and rushed before them.
"Stop!" said the servant, pointing his sword at the two suspicious men.
The two night walkers were stunned, and one of them replied:
"Big brother, adult, hero, it's like this, we came from other places and got lost, so we strayed into the mountains, walking, walking. Ha ha. β
The servants looked the two up and down, and felt that they were walking, but to say that they had come here from other places, they should be dusty and tired, but they were not like them.
Then said:
"Since you've come here from out of town and you're lost, then come back with me, and wouldn't it be better to wait until dawn to go. Otherwise, wouldn't you get lost again?"
When the two saw that this master was still staring at him, they couldn't help but be a little flustered, glanced at each other, and ran away as soon as they raised their legs.
This is even more suspicious, you are not stealing or stealing, what are you running when you see people?
The servant shouted:
"Stop!" ran to the front and stopped the two of them.
"Come with me!"
When the two of them saw the shiny snow and the knife, they felt a chill, and they didn't cut off their legs if they ran again, so they had to obediently follow the servant on duty, and they were taken back to Master Mi's room.
Master Mi Shoubei hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was sitting there talking to Xiao Xiaohan when he saw the servants bring in two people.
Master Mi was about to ask questions, when he saw Xiao Xiaohan greet him, glanced at the two of them, and asked:
"Aren't you from the Fiscal Association, how did you get here?"
Mi-sama asked:
"What does the Fiscal Association do?"
Xiao Xiaohan told the adults, saying that in the original Eden Middle School, a small group composed of the children of the rich senior high school headed by Gao Qiu was engaged in bullying and insulting boys.
When it came to Gao Qiu, Master Mi remembered that Xiao Mi Tao and Lai Tianhu's illegitimate sons, so these two people were Gao Qiu's lackeys, but what did they do when they came to this Luo family manor in the middle of the night?
And the servant reported to the lord what he had seen.
Mi asked the two of them:
"You two are from the city, why did you run here in the middle of the night and enter the well room to do something?
One of them replied:
"Go get some water. β
"Tell me the truth!" shouted Mi-sama.
Another person also said:
"It's just to drink water, I'm thirsty. β
Master Mi whispered to Xiao Xiaohan, and Xiaohan turned around and went out.
Soon, Xiao Han came back and whispered a few words to Mi-sama, who nodded.
"This is your last chance, and if you don't tell the truth, just wait to guard the yamen. Mi said to the two.
The two members of the Finance Association looked at each other, then they both shut their mouths and said no more. It looks like it's been prepared.
"Escort down!" Master Mi ordered, and two soldiers came in and took them away.
Xiao Xiaohan went to the well room as Master Mi instructed, and found a food box hidden inside, and the food in it was still hot. When he came back, he reported to the lord, and the lord ordered him to take people to the well room to squat and arrest the people who had gone to get food.
Xiao Xiaohan didn't bring anyone else, he went to the well room by himself and hid in the dark.
Soon after, he saw a man walking from the direction of Elephant Trunk Hill, and as he went, he looked around, and when he saw that he found nothing suspicious, he strode into the well house.
The man picked up the food box in a corner of the well room, and hurried away, walking back.
At last I saw him walk to the back slope of Elephant Trunk Hill and climb to the top of the slope, so I heard three bangbang sounds, and walked down the hill again.
At the bottom of the cliff, the mossy cliff suddenly opened a door, and the man with the food box walked in, and the stone door closed again.
Xiao Xiaohan, who was hidden on the side, saw all this clearly, and went back to report to Master Mi.
η±³ε€§δΊΊ says:
"It's time, it's time for the South China Tiger to show up. Then he ordered all the soldiers and servants to go out and surround Elephant Trunk Mountain.
In the night, Xiao Xiaohan stood on the top of the back slope mountain, holding the old oak tree in his hand, remembering that the first time was the mysterious white-clothed lonely ancestor who asked him to knock, in fact, it was the revelation given to him by the old ancestor, this ancient castle, this elephant trunk mountain, everything is under the control of the lonely predecessor. Tomorrow, or at some hour, when Master Mi mobilizes and gives an order, he will hit the oak tree three times in a row, and then he can compete with the South China Tiger.
The oak tree in his hand is actually a message mechanism that connects to the stone cave below, and the tree's powerful root system communicates with the button that controls the opening and closing of the stone door in the cave, and the stone door can be opened by three vibrations.
Later, the lonely old man told Xiao Xiaohan that the stone cave under Elephant Trunk Mountain was not naturally formed, let alone dug by the aristocratic Cheng family, but was dug by Luo Yingxiong.
When Luo Yingxiong brutally killed the Cheng nobles' family and tried to enter the castle to dig up treasures, and the 200 soldiers sent in were buried in the sealed castle, he knew that it was impossible to enter from the front of the castle, so he thought of digging Elephant Trunk Mountain from the back to build an underground passage and enter the ancient castle.
But how did that demon Luo Dashuai know that the reason why this ancient castle was built on Elephant Trunk Mountain was that Elephant Trunk Mountain was a natural barrier.
The Cheng family had already discovered that the strangely shaped Elephant Trunk Mountain was a high-grade hematite mine, so when Luo Yingxiong's mountain diggers only dug into the mountain less than three zhang away, they could no longer dig in, and the hard hematite ore blocked Luo Yingxiong's action of making bloody gains, and the tunnels could not be dug up, so they had to hastily withdraw their troops.
However, the automatically controlled stone door designed and installed by Luo Yingxiong from the door mechanic from the capital was a bit technical.
In particular, the method of controlling the switch by knocking on the vibration wave generated by the tree on the top of the mountain is still relatively effective.
