Chapter 559 Finding the Secret Passage

After listening to Peng Zhou's suggestion, Liang, Chai and Salmon all felt that it was feasible.

There really isn't any other way than this.

It's not enough to go to the day to investigate, only come back at night.

After some deliberation, the four of them found a place where no one was and hid and waited for it to get dark.

Peng Zhou was prepared and brought back enough food from the market town to feed four people. Ate dinner and sit back and wait until it gets dark.

After it was completely dark, the four of them took tools and weapons and groped their way in the direction of the Zhenyi compound where Gongyi lived. Come under the wall and look for it all around.

No matter how big your city is, there should be sewers. What about domestic water without sewers? And also! What about rainy days? Where does the rain go?

Generally, the city has open sewers, no! It should be called a water outlet. This outlet usually leads directly to the outside, leading to the river. But! This kind of place is generally guarded during the period of war readiness, and it is guarded like a city gate.

In addition to such open outlets, there are also quite a few real underground waterways, that is, dark water channels.

Besides! Generally, there is a secret passage to the outside. In case the castle was breached by the enemy, the nobles and other important people fled from the castle.

Just like the Hongyi Castle where Peng Zhou's twin wife lives, there are secret passages. It's just that! If you are not the master of the city, you will never know about these secret passages.

Finding a high ground, Peng Zhou looked around, and after frowning a few times, he suddenly laughed.

He vaguely felt that this high place seemed to have some kind of relationship with the city of the town.

There are no trees on the highlands, only bushes, which are not so noticeable. But! It's close to the city. Assuming that you look down from the castle, you can't see anything unusual here. But! Often this kind of unattractive place is very mysterious.

"Let's go! Let's go to the back of the hill and have a look! I just think! The hill seems to be man-made! Peng Zhou guessed.

"Artificial?" Liang and the others asked puzzled.

Peng Zhou lowered his voice and said, "I doubt it? There is a secret passage inside the city leading to the outside, and it is likely that it leads to this small hill! You don't think so? ”

"This?" Liang and the others naturally didn't know why.

"This little hill probably came later." Peng Zhou explained: "It is likely that this was the place where the people who built the town lived in the past. It's also quite possible! It is the living area where the people who dig the tunnels live temporarily. They live here, and then they dig tunnels into the city below. The excavated soil is piled up here, and then it forms a small hill......"

"What's the secret way? Don't all the people who dig the dark way know? Liang and the others asked puzzled.

"How many people did the king build a mausoleum? But in the end? Someone else knows where their mausoleum is? Peng Zhou explained.

"This?"

"When the secret passage is repaired, these people may die unconsciously, or suddenly disappear from the world. They were all killed, just as they were those who built a mausoleum for the king. ”

"This, this, this?"

"What are you kidding? Which king's tomb did not have funerary goods? If it were known, where their real tombs were? Isn't it going to be stolen sooner or later? Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"It's Too Cruel 1"

"It's horrible!"

"Ditch! There's a ditch there! Coming to the place under the hill with his back to the city, Peng Zhou pointed with his hand and said.

"Ditch!"

"What's wrong with the ditch?"

"Dry ditch!"

Liang, Chai and Salmon still didn't understand, and asked suspiciously.

"Just think? They came out through the tunnel, could they escape without taking cover through the ravine? Isn't it? Peng Zhou explained.

The four of them came to the bottom of the dry ditch, which was overgrown with thorns and could not be passed at all.

"This? How is that possible? Ryo asked again with suspicion.

"It's artificially planted, just don't let people come here! Walk! Keep going! Attention everyone! Is there anything suspicious on the ditch walls on both sides? If there is something suspicious, it is likely to be the exit of the secret passage. Peng Zhou said firmly.

"This?"

"According to my estimate! The tunnels in this city may have never been opened. So! There are so many thorns growing in here. And! It's been a thorn for years, hasn't it? Furthermore! Generally, if the dark tunnel is discovered, it will be abandoned and cannot be restarted. Peng Zhou introduced very expertly.

In fact! Where is he so expert? It's all Zhuangzi's survival content.

And also! A good example of this is Hongyi, where the secret passage is set up in the city wall. Other than that! In the castle of Hongyi, there is also an underground palace. Isn't it?

Ancient society was so chaotic that if you didn't learn to protect yourself, you wouldn't even know how you died.

"This! Here's the problem! "Suddenly! The salmon that walked behind screamed.

"What's the problem?" Peng Zhou and the others paused and asked in surprise.

The salmon struck a flat stone hidden in the ditch wall with a wooden stick in his hand, and reminded: "Listen? What's wrong with this stone? It looks like it's empty inside! ”

Talking! The salmon struck again with a stick.

Under his blow, the slab stone standing on the wall of the ditch made a "buzzing" hollow sound.

"That's not right!" Chai suddenly discovered: "This stone is not here, but here!" ”

"What's wrong?" Peng Zhou asked.

Chai explained: "Coming from the Chengchi Control Tunnel, the exit should be on the ditch wall on this side, not on the ditch wall on this side!" Isn't it? ”

Ryo blinked in the darkness and said, "Maybe it's what people think is smart." ”

Peng Zhou smiled and nodded, "Yes!" Maybe that's where people are smart! Let's not get complacent too early, after opening this place, it may be a cellar or something, and where the real secret exit is, it will take time to find it! ”

"Open?" The salmon smashed the flat stones with a stick, but it didn't work at all. The flat stones didn't move.

"Dig!" Peng Zhou took out the prepared copper shovel and started digging.

Everyone worked together, and it was just a matter of one, two, three, and they dug out the flat stones. Inside! Sure enough, it was a cellar-like cave.

First release the "poison gas" inside, and then light the torch to go down. Really! There's nothing in the cellar, and you can't find the exit to the secret tunnel.

"Underground! Ground floor! The salmon stamped the ground with his foot and said, "The ground seems to be empty!" I've heard people! What if this is the case that Peng Zi said? The bottom should be topped with a large stone slab or something, and then filled with earth. When they came out, they opened the mechanism underneath, and the slate sank down, and the exit came out! ”

"Dig down!" Peng Zhou agreed.

Really! In a matter of moments, I dug up the big stone slab below.
