The road twisted and went, and it was not known whether it had been more than half an hour or an hour, and the people in the carriage had not spoken again since they got into the carriage.

Wang Li gradually felt that his arms and waist began to weaken, and the sweat of the bean was dripping with dust, so he almost couldn't hold on, and suddenly heard a sound of "hoo" coming from the top of his head, and the sides of the carriage also lit up, and the carriage slowly stopped.

Wang Li turned his head to look over and found that Chen Poyu was also beading with sweat and his teeth were clenched. Just as he was about to signal, he heard a few muttering voices overhead, and the carriage set off slowly, slowly into the darkness, and the smell of earth and dampness came to his face.

Is this a cave or a cave?

Or maybe it's what the crowd calls a dark hole!

Wang Li blinked, and saw a gloom all around, as if there was a faint firelight, except for the sound of the chariot and horses, there was no sound of breathing and talking, and he held on for about half an hour, and patted Chen Poyu with one free hand, and the two of them gently floated down from the carriage like two bats.

When the carriage was gone, the two got up from the ground again.

Wang Li looked around, only to see that the top of his head, both sides and under his feet were whole boulders, the boulders were soaked in water, ticking and ticking, and they seemed more silent in the dimness, occasionally one or two torches were inserted in the cracks of the stones on both sides, swaying and swaying in the dark, and a road about three meters wide was winding in the dark, and the two ruts were snakewalking.

"Looks like this is the cave, let's go!"

Wang Li gestured slightly, and the two of them zigzagged forward about three or five hundred steps along the rut, and suddenly saw the fire shining in the corner in front of them, and the sound of scolding, iron, wheezing and some faint moans accompanied by sparse footsteps came one after another.

Wang Li hurriedly made a gesture, and the two of them stopped and put their ears on the stone, listening to the footsteps from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer. The two glanced at it, and saw that there was a protrusion above the boulder on both sides that was just enough to accommodate him, Wang Li got up and jumped to grab the protrusion, took advantage of a harrier to turn over, twisted his waist and turned up, a dagger was inserted in the crack of the stone, and he freed up a hand to hold Chen Poyu and shook it, Chen Poyu took advantage of the situation and kicked it up.

As soon as the two of them hid, they saw two black-clothed men walking out of the corner, holding a staggering young man in both hands and slowly coming out, a knife against the big man's neck, and turning towards another road, the knife was cold.

"You damn eagle dog, a lackey of the imperial court, if it weren't for Deputy Envoy Tan's previous desire to spare you a dog's life, would you still be allowed to live until now?"

The two of them scolded the big man as they walked, and suddenly heard a gust of wind, and looked up to see two figures pounced on the two like goshawks, and before they could speak, their lips were covered to death, and there was a sharp pain in the erection neck, and then the consciousness gradually dissipated, and the head gradually drooped.

The big man in the middle suddenly lost his support and was about to fall to the ground, Wang Li and Chen Poyu hurriedly hooked up the big man, one of them held the two black-clothed men with one hand, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, don't make a noise, you can still move?" We are here to save you. ”

The big man smiled, although his mouth was full of blood, his face was full of blue, but he still stubbornly borrowed the hands of Wang Li and the others, and slowly stood up: "Hehe, I can't die yet." Thank you two for saving your life! ”

Chen Poyu gave a thumbs up to the big man: "Sure enough, it's a good man!" ”

"What kind of hero am I, have you ever seen a hero who has been beaten and his nose is swollen? Or the two of you bravely entered the Taiping Road Secret Cave, this is the wise and brave hero! The big man smiled bitterly, raised his head, glanced at Chen Poyu, and then turned to Wang Li, only to feel that this person was very familiar, his mouth gradually took on a round shape, and he couldn't close it for a long time, "You, you are Wang joining the army?!" ”

"Yu Kuai? You're not ......" Wang Li also looked at the big man in surprise, that person was the Wang Yang thief Yu Kuai who escaped from the entrance of the vegetable market that day.

Yu Kuai smiled bitterly, broke free from the support of Wang Li and Chen Poyu, bowed to Wang Li, got up and said: "Yu Kuai, the guard of Cao Cao, the thief under the gate of Wei County, greets Wang to join the army!" ”

Supervising the thief Cao?

This is Mission Impossible, Infernal Affairs! It seems that Zhang Ze can do a county too much, and it is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Through a big drama of robbing the law field, Zhang Ze not only wiped out the Taiping Dao forces in Wei County, but also took the opportunity to quietly bury his own people into the Taiping Dao.

It's just a pity, it seems that this anti-plot has become a turtle in an urn!

Wang Li nodded, helped Yu Kuai and asked, "Since you two went deep into the thief's nest on the order of the envoy, now that your brother is not here, you are seriously injured, but you have been discovered?" ”

Yu Kuai didn't disagree with Wang Li who deduced the incident so quickly, but just looked at Wang Li with a look of shame: "That's right!" Han Xu and I are the guards of Cao Cao, the superintendent of the thief, and we are usually only by the side of the envoy to protect the safety of the Jun family, and we have never been photographed by anyone.

Therefore, the lowly two were ordered by the envoy to enter the thief's lair, and won the trust of the master and commander of the gate, and soon entered this place, that is, the arsenal of the Taiping Dao bandits.

The humble post was overjoyed for a while, thinking that he would soon be able to send the news back to Yecheng and wait for the arrival of the envoy's army. Who would have thought, at this time, he met a person, causing Brother Han to die, and his subordinates almost returned to the underworld because of this! ”

"Who?"

"Tan Po!" Yu Kuai gritted his teeth and was full of resentment.

This person again? Wang Li's face gradually turned cold: "Tan Po? But what about the thief Cao under the door of Liyang County? ”

"That's the man!"

Yu Kuai spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, his face was extremely resentful, and the blue tendons on his forehead were rising: "Tan Po, this thief and Brother Han are both from Qinghe and are from the same township. In the past, when he was in Qinghe, Tan Po gambled with others to fight with one enemy and three enemies, if it wasn't for Brother Han to rescue him in time, he was afraid that the thief would have died at that time, so according to this relationship, this thief happened to know Brother Han, and knew that Brother Han was also a thief under Wei County.

Brother Han and I happened to be ordered by the master of the Taiping Dao Mountain Gate that day, and the master of the gate inspected the dark cave, but we didn't want to bump into Tan Po's dog thief, who completely ignored Brother Han's life-saving feelings, was ungrateful, and told the origin of Brother Han in one word.

The two of us didn't notice it for a while, and the martial arts were low, and the two fists were hard to beat with four hands, and they were captured by Tan Po and a group of Taiping Road bandits. The master of the sect knew that I had only been ordered to sneak into the Taiping Road, and he was very angry, and he beat us both with a whip and beating, and gave us both a bowl of muddy and yellowed water, and we fell asleep.

After about an hour, the two of us slowly woke up, only to find that our weapons and armor had been stolen, and there were several ropes tied to our bodies. After waiting for about half an hour, a few people hurriedly took us to a grotto, that is, the armory of the Taiping Dao Mountain Gate.

There were about seventy or eighty big men in the cave, all of them looking sluggish, but their actions were as usual, and they were working hard to move the wooden boxes in the grotto. It is estimated that there are two or three hundred wooden boxes, some large and some small, some long and some short, but the wooden box is extremely heavy, and it takes three or five big men to move it.

There were also a dozen or so guards with weapons in their hands, patrolling back and forth, scolding and whipping those big men from time to time. We were already in a daze, and we couldn't remember anything else in our minds except their voices, and we did what they said. ”

"And then?"

Wang Li saw that Yu Kuai's expression was a little sluggish, but his words were clear, and he hurriedly asked.

A trace of shock flashed on Yu Kuai's face, and he continued: "The two of us were driven into the grotto by them, and like those big men, we were responsible for the shipment of the wooden box. After moving like this for two or three days, I don't know if it was because we had practiced martial arts or other reasons, we gradually felt that the medicinal effect of the bowl of water was getting weaker and weaker, and our minds were becoming clearer and clearer, and then we suddenly found that the crowd in the grotto was getting smaller and smaller.

It turned out that these people were all people who had been taken captive from nearby counties, townships or villages, and had been gathered here more than ten days ago. After working day and night every day, half a bowl of gū rice porridge in the morning, and two hard nests in the evening, where they could not even drink enough water, those who were no longer there were all sick or tired or starved to death, and they had long since been thrown into the pit of the dead. ”

"And nearby counties and villages? And what's going on with the Dead Man's Pit? Wang Li and Chen Poyu glanced at each other, and a chill welled up in their hearts.

Yu Kuai exhaled slowly, nodded, the block in his heart stretched slightly, but his face became more and more depressed: "I only knew it when I heard a few guards talking, there are two villages nearby and Hongfengdu who have been poisoned, and there are more than a dozen people who have been taken captive here from Puyang at the farthest, but because of the remote terrain, no one knows." ”

Puyang? Puyang, East County, Yanzhou? It's a few dozen miles away.

These damn thieves!

Wang Li clenched his fists, but listened to Yu Kuai continue: "Earlier yesterday, another person fell in the grotto, so two guards ordered me and Brother Han to carry that person to the pit of the dead. The pit of the dead is a large pit where they specially abandon the seriously ill or dead corpses, and there are thirty or fifty corpses piled up in the pit of the dead, and the stench is scattered everywhere, and it is unbearable to see. ”

As he spoke, Yu Kuai's face suddenly soothed, the corners of his eyes were hideous, and a mouthful of bloody phlegm spit on the face of a man in black before he continued: "It was this stench that made the two of us completely sober up. The two of us quietly discussed, planning to continue the disguise and secretly rescue the other men. Unfortunately, when we were acting last night, we were accidentally discovered, and the Han brothers were beaten to death by them in order to cover their humble duties, and the humble positions were once again held in solitary confinement in a dark cave. ”

"Brother Han is dead?"

It's a pity, this brave and resourceful, affectionate and righteous good man!

Yu Kuai nodded, pointed ahead with a resentful face and said, "My lord, this road leads to the dead man's pit!" An hour ago, Tan Po's thief suddenly broke into the dark cave, asked the lowly anti-water to rebel against the court with him, and recommended the lowly to be his team deputy, otherwise I will have to live and not die! ”

It turned out that Tan Po had already returned an hour ago.

Wang Li said secretly, but listened to Yu Kuai and continued: "My lord, to be honest, now this court has long lost the support of the people, and he is humbled to serve as a guard under the envoy of Lord Jun's disciple Cao District, but he can't talk about how much loyalty he has to the court, it is nothing more than because he is loyal to his duties, so that the king is not bad to my brothers and others."

But how can I be willing to take refuge in an organization that has just killed my life-saving brother and hated the people? So he scolded the Tan thief and refused to obey. As a result, he knocked him to the ground with a punch and kick, and then ordered the two to throw their lowly duties directly into the dead man's pit. ”

Loyalty? !

What has His Majesty the Emperor done for our people to make them ignore and kill themselves?

Not to mention being loyal to the monarch and protecting the country, this is our most real lower-class people!

Wang Li nodded secretly, but heard a faint voice from behind, hurriedly pulled Yu Kuai, and Chen Poyu and the three of them supported the two black-clothed people, a ray of fierceness flashed in their eyes, and said as they walked: "Let's go to the dead man's pit first to dispose of these two people, and then make plans!" ”

A group of people turned around and finally came to a hall, which was about thirty or forty square meters, eight or nine meters long and four or five meters wide. Empty, two huge stone pillars stood on both sides, and three or five steps in front of the stone pillars, stood two heavy stone gates.

Yu Kuai pointed to the stone door and said, "My lord, the dead man's pit is behind that door, I have been here with Brother Han before!" ”

Wang Li nodded, threw the black-clothed man in his hand to the ground, walked quickly to the stone gate and pushed his hands inward, but he heard the two people behind him exclaim in unison: "Be careful!" ”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew on his face, and behind the stone pillar, a man and a gun came in the air.

The gun is like a dragon, and the clothes are like snow!
