Richard controlled the consciousness body to stop instantly, and looked to the left and right, and saw that this was an underground passage several meters wide, and the many traces in the passage seemed to have been used recently.

There is no doubt that this is the tunnel used by the Sika Kingdom army to infiltrate the Soma Alliance!

Then the next thing is much simpler.

Richard didn't hesitate, determined the direction, and moved down the tunnel towards the exit.

After a while, at the end, through the cover at the exit, Richard appeared on the ground, looked around, and couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

There is no other reason, just because the location of this exit is more than ten miles north of Lanshui Mountain, which is six or seven miles farther than the range he has expanded.

From here, a short distance to the north is farmland, and a little further north is a small village with hundreds of people.

This is so unreasonable and very illogical.

If the army of the Sika Kingdom really came out of here, it would be impossible not to be discovered by the people in the village.

But it turns out that the army of the Sika Kingdom really came out of here.

What about this village......

Suspicious, Richard looked towards the village at night, and then saw someone at the entrance of the village sneakily glance at his location, quickly retracted his head and ran into the village.

What's the situation?

Richard's suspicion deepened, if it weren't for the fact that he had proved it many times before, now he really suspected that the other party saw the existence of his consciousness body.

Things are getting weirder.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Richard's mind moved, and his consciousness quickly flew towards the village, catching up with the person who had just appeared.

It can be seen that it is a short and fat man, about 1.5 meters tall, but he weighs almost 200 pounds. The bloated figure did not affect the agility of the other party, and the other party ran extremely nimblely, and after a while, he gathered in front of a thatched hut in the center of the village.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The man knocked on the door, making a noise.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a man as shriveled as an eagle's claw reached out, grabbed the man, and pulled him into the house without looking.

"Bang!"

The door is reopened.

"Squeak!"

The wooden bolt is inserted.

"Click, poof!"

While groping, the flint touched a piece, and only then did an oil lamp be lit.

Then the faint light of the oil lamp showed that it was a very shabby room, and that there was little else but a wooden bed, a three-legged table, two benches, a wooden box, a wooden frame, a stove, and a set of broken cooking utensils.

And this is also the situation of the vast majority of villagers in this era.

It was a wrinkled old man who lit the oil lamp, and it was he who had just pulled the stocky man in.

He handed the man a bowl with some turbid water in it, and motioned for the man to drink it to stabilize his mood.

Then he asked, "How's it going, Winter?"

"Village chief, it seems that no one has been found yet. The short and fat man finished drinking the water, put down the broken bowl, wiped his mouth, and said.

After speaking, he glanced at the door, making sure that no one was disturbing, and there would be no ears on the wall, the short and fat man looked at the old man and continued: "I really haven't seen a single figure, whether it is a passer-by or a soldier, it seems that the alliance has indeed found nothing." ”

"That's good. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and his face covered with old age spots slackened slightly, "This shows that the secret passage is well protected, and the traces of concealment are in place." The soldiers of the kingdom were determined not to be forced to confess to their captives, because they did not want their families to suffer. In this case, there is a good chance that the secret passage can continue to be used......"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed lightly and said with some concern: "It's just a pity, the kingdom's army is still too small, and the defense line to attack Bloodstone Mountain has lost some more, and now the back road has been cut off by the alliance and forced to the east."

If this continues, even if the kingdom's army can cause chaos and destroy the rear of the alliance, it will not be able to survive, which can be regarded as a desperate operation. Unless...... They were able to break through and come back, reopen the secret passages here, and pass through the defenses to return to the kingdom. ”

"Village Chief, if you say that, all the people of the kingdom will die?" the short and fat man was a little surprised.

"Pretty much. The old man nodded, "Sacrificing for the kingdom is their mission. But, having said that, they're all great guys, and if possible, I still hope they'll escape through the passage outside the village. ”

"But......" the stocky man hesitated, "but if this is the case, the army will break through and return to the kingdom through the passage under pursuit, and the passage will definitely be exposed, right?"

The old man gave the short and fat man a deep look: "Winter, what you said is right, it is indeed a bit worthless to exchange a secret passage for the lives of the remaining Kingdom soldiers. However, that is the premise that there is only one channel. What if there was more than one passage?"

This!

Listening to the old man's words, the short and fat man almost jumped up, glared and said, "Village...... Village Chief, there is a second passage that exists?!"

"Shhhhh

Although our village, all the people of the kingdom, have infiltrated and gathered here, it is logical that we should be loyal to the kingdom. But after so many years, some things are not so easy to say, and the human heart is the most difficult to test.

The people of the whole village, I am the most optimistic about you, as long as you can maintain your previous performance, then I will finally hand over the secret of the kingdom passage to you. When the time comes, you will be the new village chief, and you will be the baron of the latent Sika Kingdom. Don't you like Sally's girl, she'll be yours then. ”

When the short and fat man heard this, his whole face turned red with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Village Chief, if you really pass on the secret to me and let me take over your title, I will ignore Sally." That's a stupid girl, nothing but pretty. If I can become a baron and make great contributions to the kingdom and return to the kingdom to be crowned, what kind of woman can't find it?!"

"Good boy, you are very ambitious and very smart, I admire you!" the village chief praised, "but now that the limelight has not passed, it is better to be careful, and in the future, you will rest every day, go outside the village at night to keep an eye on the spot, and report it to me as soon as you find anything, you know?"

"Yes, village chief. The stocky man nodded vigorously.

"Alright, let's go back. The old man waved.

The stocky man quickly left the room.

Richard, who was standing in the corner of the room, watched the short and fat man go away, glanced at the old man, and finally understood why the tunnel entrance had not been found in the vicinity of this village, and ...... It's a spy village at all.

Don't say it...... The other party took the initiative to report, but I was afraid that they would help the army of the Sika Kingdom to cover up their tracks.

Terrible!
