Chapter 170: The Valley

Sun Tie scurried out of the cat's waist, listened carefully to the movements around him, turned around and beckoned, and walked forward quickly with everyone, only to turn a corner, a huge cave appeared in front of him, in this dark night, like the blood basin of a giant beast, quietly waiting to choose someone to eat.

Xu Zizhen visually inspected it, this cave entrance is several zhang high, and the width is even more able to accommodate three carriages to enter and exit side by side, thinking of the words of the two Western Xia generals, it seems that this is really the place where fireball carts are produced, that is, extreme artillery, otherwise that kind of big guy can't get out of the cave at all.

Liu Feng had already searched around without waiting for orders, he was born in Lian Feishi, his eyesight was excellent, and he was particularly dominant in this dark night, and after sweeping it around, he lowered his voice and asked suspiciously: "Why is there no one guarding the door here?" ”

Xu Zizhen also felt strange, even if this was already the boundary of Western Xia, but the Gongshutang would not be so slack in defense if it was an important matter related to the success or failure of the war such as extreme artillery here, right?

Sun Tie smiled: "Don't worry, everyone is here, but they are not young and old, and there are no less than twenty of them." ”

Xu Zizhen is not surprised that there will be martial arts here, after all, this is the place where extreme artillery is made, which is the key to the success or failure of this war, he glanced at the dark and gloomy hole, and soon had an idea, pulled Liu Feng and Shui Liuli over, and explained a few words in a low voice.

"That's it, let's go!"

Time was pressing, Xu Zizhen didn't delay any longer, and threw himself into the cave with an order, Shui Liuli followed closely to his side, Sun Tie led the way, and Liu Feng followed him in a flash and didn't know where to hide.

Reaching out in the cave and not seeing the five fingers, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, this place must be destroyed today, he gritted his teeth, reached out and grabbed Shui Liuli's hand, and followed Sun Tie to run in.

Sun Tie seems to be extremely familiar with the terrain here, and under his leadership, the three of them turned around and ran around in the dark, and they didn't know how long they ran, just when Xu Zizhen was about to run out of patience, a light suddenly appeared in front of him, and his vision suddenly opened up, and Sun Tie's footsteps stopped.

This is the end of the cave, but there is a cave mouth in front of him, and a flat and wide valley suddenly appeared outside the cave entrance, Xu Zizhen immediately reacted, the cave he passed through just now is just a passage connecting this valley and the outside of the mountain, and it can be said that it is completely isolated from the outside world in the heart of Gaolan Mountain.

While secretly praising the Three Peerless Hall for finding such a good place, Xu Zizhen had quickly observed the situation in the valley, as he expected, the valley was completely different from the quiet and dead silence outside, there were people everywhere here, all of them were wearing short black clothes, the cuffs and trousers were tied, and a leather belt was tied around the waist that was much wider than the ordinary waist, and all kinds of tools were inserted in the leather belt.

Xu Zizhen didn't have to guess, he knew that these must be people from the Gongshu Hall, because there were all golden ripples ranging from one to three on their clothes, just like Wu Luo's clothes.

Dozens of tall and large wooden carts were neatly arranged near the entrance of the cave, which were extremely artillery, and several craftsmen were loading stone pockets or wheels one by one, with a focused and serious expression. Xu Zizhen hid at the entrance of the cave and counted carefully, there were a total of twenty-one craftsmen, most of them were one or two ripples, and there was only one middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard, and three ripples were painted on the placket.

There was no one else in the valley except for these twenty-one people, those Wu Luo didn't know where Lu Dao was hiding, Xu Zizhen didn't bother to guess, and rushed in with a loud shout, and the Tang knife was already showing out at the wrist turn.

"Don't move!"

Everyone in the valley was startled by this sudden shout, and many people were even so frightened that their tools fell to the ground, they were just craftsmen, and they never cared about fighting and killing, and Xu Zizhen's appearance suddenly scared them a lot.

Xu Zizhen stood majestically at the entrance of the cave with a Tang knife in his hand, glanced coldly at everyone in the valley, and pointed at the middle-aged man with three ripples: "You, get here!" ”

The middle-aged man was probably the only one of all the people here who was not affected much, and even his face didn't change much, when he heard Xu Zizhen call him, he just looked up at him and said lightly: "What advice?" ”

Xu Zizhen was stunned, this kid has good courage, is it Wu Luo pretending?

Seeing that he didn't speak, the middle-aged man walked over a few steps, looked at Xu Zizhen and said, "Your Excellency entered my hall at night, what do you want?" ”

Xu Zizhen laughed angrily at him, and raised the knife in his hand: "Don't you have long eyes, do you still have to ask?" Lao Tzu is here to kill, to kill! ”

The middle-aged man still said nonchalantly: "Who does Your Excellency want to kill?" ”

Xu Zizhen pointed to the valley: "All of you! ”

"Oh? I don't know why? ”

"Why?" Xu Zizhen snorted, pointed at those extreme artillery pieces and said, "You are doing these things to attack our city, and I have to destroy you as soon as possible?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at him with a strange look and said, "If your Excellency is cut down, I wonder if you want to seek revenge on the person with the knife or the knife?" ”

Xu Zizhen's mouth circled him, but his eyes always looked around, in order to use this time to lure out the secret martial arts, but until now he didn't see a single person appear, he couldn't help but be a little strange, and didn't answer the middle-aged man's philosophical question, but asked: "You people here?" ”

The middle-aged man also wondered: "Who else do you want to find?" ”

Xu Zizhen was very troubled by the tepid attitude of this middle-aged man, and couldn't help but say: "Where is there so much nonsense, don't say that Lao Tzu is murderous, if you want to live, get out of the way for me, and wait for Lao Tzu to burn these broken things." ”

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man nodded, and suddenly said amazingly: "Xu Gongzi is powerful and powerful, but he is so kind-hearted, Du admires!" After speaking, he bowed deeply.

This time it was Xu Zizhen's turn to be surprised: "Do you know me?" ”

The middle-aged man grinned: "Xu Gongzi has forgotten that he is a person in the three unique halls." ”

Xu Zizhen's nerves were all tense at this time, and he subconsciously found that something seemed to be wrong with this matter today, and the words of this surnamed Du seemed to reveal a message, that is, he had already been known by the Three Peerless Hall when he came here.

At this moment, as soon as the middle-aged man raised his hand, the twenty craftsmen suddenly quickly surrounded him, each holding a steel knife in his hand, and surrounded Xu Zizhen and the other three.

Xu Zizhen suddenly came back to his senses and shouted: "You are not a worker!" ”

The middle-aged man didn't explain, still smiling, and shouted softly: "Take it!" ”

Twenty craftsmen pounced together, Xu Zizhen was just about to swing his knife to resist, but a strange scene happened in front of him - five of those craftsmen suddenly turned their blades and slashed at the others, and they shot quickly and fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, those five people solved the other fifteen people, and Xu Zizhen didn't even react, and there was a dead body lying on the ground in front of him.

The middle-aged man suddenly walked up to Xu Zizhen, and smiled again: "Du Jin has been waiting for Xu Gongzi for a long time under the order of the left envoy. ”
