Chapter 18: The Underground of Washington
When night fell, everything was silent, dark clouds were dense, and the half-moon moon hung on the horizon, and there was not half a star in the whole sky.
I saw that the treetops suddenly moved, and a 'rustling' sound was heard, and I saw two black shadows 'whoosh' to the wall, and after a while, it was as quiet as death.
At the head of the wall of Washington, two black masked heads popped out, and seeing that there was no one around, two strange figures jumped down from the wall. The two shadows, one high and one low, bypassed several guards who were keeping vigil and walked into the back house.
These two sneaky figures are Hua Jiu and Yucheng An.
The two took advantage of the hazy moonlight and groped all the way to Hua Yu's room. The snoring was well-balanced, and it was clear that he was asleep. Hua Jiu first cut a small hole in the window, then took out a slender bamboo pipe from his waist, pointed at the hole, slowly inserted the pipe into it, and then took off his mask and blew lightly on the other end of the pipe.
After a while, I saw that the smoke emitted by the ** incense was permeating around Hua Yusi, and slowly dissipated. **Incense is colorless and tasteless, but people who inhale it will be dizzy for a few hours, and she still ran a long way to find it.
Yucheng An saw that the smoke had dispersed, and motioned for Hua Jiu on the side to go in, and then whispered, "We only have less than two hours. With that, he pushed the door open and walked in, took out a fire fold, and took a picture of it. Hua Jiu nodded, re-enclosed the mask, and followed him with cat's footsteps, looking around with wide eyes.
Hua Yu's room is full of paintings, basically all kinds of characters, it can be seen that this person is very fond of collecting calligraphy and paintings. One of them is a man in armor and a military uniform, presumably a self-portrait of Hua Yu, which looks majestic.
Hua Jiu was groping around on the wall while looking at these paintings, and heard the master say that there would be mechanisms on many walls, and a secret door could be opened with a touch.
However, after groping around, I didn't find anything, so I had to give up and go back to the study. There is only a screen between Hua Yu's study and bedroom, which looks very simple. There was only an inkstone and a few books on the table, and nothing but a wooden sword hung on the wall.
Hua Jiu really couldn't find anything unusual, but he saw Yu Cheng'an looking at some scrolls by the bookshelf, so he asked him softly, "What did you find?" ”
Yucheng An shook his head, apparently finding nothing.
The two of them have been here for nearly an hour, and if they continue like this, they will probably be trapped in the Bahe Array.
At this time, Yucheng An hurriedly walked towards the bedroom as if he suddenly thought of something, and Hua Jiu followed in puzzlement, and saw him come to the self-portrait of Hua Yu just now.
"Today I asked you where you would put it when you got a fortune, and you didn't think about it, so you said you would put it on you." He turned his head to look at Hua Jiu.
She nodded, as if she understood, then raised her head and looked at the painting, looked at it and suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The organ is on Hua Yu's body, as you said, how to put so many gold belts on the body, and this painting is painted by him, so it means that the organ is on this painting!" ”
"Quite possibly."
After speaking, the two of them took action, busily fumbling and observing the painting. In less than a moment, Hua Jiu found a bulge at the edge of his eyes and looked towards Yucheng'an in surprise. He nodded, motioning for her to press down.
Then after pressing, I heard a sound of 'squeak', and I saw that Hua Yu's bed had risen two meters, and he was still sleeping very dead due to the effect of ** incense. The two of them were shocked, thinking that it was better to use the incense, otherwise such a big movement would definitely wake him up.
However, the two of them slowly moved to the side of the bed, only to see a piece of black pressing, Yucheng'an handed the fire fold a little, only to find that Hua Yu's bed was not an ordinary place, but a dark grid, with a wooden staircase connected to a passage.
Hua Jiu couldn't stop the excitement in her heart at this time, and took the lead to go down first, she stepped on a step, slowly descending, and the stairs that only allowed for the width of one person did not know where it led. Yuchengan told her to be careful in the back, she didn't know what would be in front of her, so she had to pay attention to every step.
The two managed to reach the level, and when they looked up, they were at least four meters tall. After coming down, it was pitch black in front of me, surrounded by walls, and it was supposed to be a secret passage. Then the two of them continued to grope forward, and before they had walked a dozen steps, they saw an iron door appear in front of them, the door was unlocked, and it could be opened at any time.
At this time, Hua Jiu excitedly tugged at Yucheng'an's sleeve, as if to tell him that the vault must be here. But he felt that it was not so simple, and told her not to act rashly.
"Don't forget, there are still thousands of people down here, can you deal with it?"
Hearing him say this, Hua Jiu thought that he suddenly lost the excitement just now, and began to be a little nervous.
"So what do we do?" She asked.
Yucheng An made a 'shhh' gesture at her, and then slowly walked towards the door, leaning against the wall and listening to something. "There are two people at the door." He said softly suddenly.
Inside the iron gate, two red-clothed guards stood motionless on both sides of the door, like a stone statue, making the two people outside the door pause their footsteps.
They must be dealt with first, Yucheng An looked at Hua Jiu with a look, and the two thought of a piece, and nodded at the same time. Immediately, with a touch of toe on the ground, the two of them sucked to a height of two meters, with their backs against the wall, fighting for their breath.
Yuchengan quickly hooked the door open with his feet, and after hearing the movement, the two people in the door rushed out, but saw that there was no one around. At this time, Hua Jiu on the wall jumped down and set them to sleep, and after a while, the two of them fell to the ground and fell into sleep.
"That's it." She breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her eyebrows at Yucheng'an, who had just landed, with both hands on her waist.
After giving her a thumbs up, the two of them walked towards the door again. There is still a walkway in front of you, and unlike the darkness outside, the walls are lit with kerosene lamps, which are a dull yellow, which can extinguish the fire.
After walking a few steps, Hua Jiu, who was more alert, heard a strange movement, and then Yu Cheng'an on the side suddenly said: "It's not good, there is a mechanism!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several bows and arrows whizzing from the front and shooting at the two of them.
The two of them reacted quickly, then flew into the air a few times, leaning over the wall and rushing forward, quickly avoiding the arrows.
It's so dangerous, Hua Jiu patted his chest, and before he could recover from the thrill just now, his highly tense nerves were tense.
At this time, Yucheng An, who was next to her, pulled the corner of her clothes and motioned her to look ahead.
At the end, an oversized room appeared, with torches lit on the pitted stone walls, and about a hundred elite soldiers gathered together, and among them
A woman dressed in Central Plains costume is chained and trapped in an iron cage.
