Chapter Twenty-Eight: Open Sesame

readx;?“ What to watch? Xue Ziliang saw that the child had recovered his breathing, took a few breaths, and shouted to a kind of "onlookers" around him, "Did Wen Xinyi catch it?" ”

"Report!" A sergeant walked down from above, Xue Ziliang recognized that this was the second platoon, and the platoon commander had been sent to the back after being wounded by a feather arrow on the wooden bridge. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "Chief, there is no one on the fourth floor!" ”

"What?" Xue Ziliang had just finished artificial respiration, and he was still a little dazed, how could Wen Xinyi be gone? This local tyrant can't have the ability to escape from the land, right? "You take your squad down there to search for the body, and all personnel continue to maintain the siege of this island in the middle of the lake, and no personnel are allowed to enter or leave!"

Seeing that the sergeant saluted and turned around to take his squad downstairs to inspect the corpse, he couldn't help but turn around the third floor twice in frustration. In the third floor, in addition to him and the two heralds beside him, there were the woman and two children who had just been rescued, and now the three of them were nervously huddled together, and the woman's small feet were wearing high shoes, and it was obvious that they were shivering.

"You don't have to worry, we won't kill people at will." Xue Ziliang explained to them the prisoner policy of the Senate army, and in order to prevent them from understanding this Mandarin with an old and beautiful accent, the naturalized people herald on the side also specially translated it once. Unexpectedly, the woman didn't have a panicked expression, but quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Xue Ziliang, and called Engong in her mouth, making Xue Ziliang and the two soldiers next to her inexplicable.

"The little girl was originally from Suzhou, abducted and trafficked to Mingzhou by human traffickers, and after several rounds here, she was later bought by Wen Xinyi. Fang Cai Wen Xinyi asked the little girl and the two young masters to hang themselves in order to slow down the pace of the kings, but she didn't want the king to be able to exert his magic power for the life and death of the young master, so that the young master could come back to life. ”

"I'm going?" Xue Ziliang felt quite speechless, "You can actually let a woman and a child hang themselves to slow us down?" Is this still a human thing? Tiger poison doesn't eat children! ”

The woman thought for a while, nodded as if she had made up her mind, and said to Xue Ziliang word by word: "Engong, the little girl is willing to hand over Wen Xinyi to you, but I beg to give the little girl and the two children a way to live." ”

Xue Ziliang nodded and said: "We are not murderous people, as long as you don't have blood debts on you, you will naturally not be harmed, and I can guarantee this in the name of the Senate." ”

The woman hurriedly kowtowed to him, then resolutely got up, and Shi Shiran walked downstairs. Because she had small feet, she didn't walk at a big pace, and she seemed to float on the stairs, which made Xue Ziliang, who was used to seeing the female posture of wearing high heels and crackling all the way, feel new in front of him, but he instantly remembered the pair of small feet he saw before, and he couldn't help but shudder. In some museums in the United States, he has seen a lot of information about small feet, and at this time, he saw the true embodiment of small feet here, and suddenly countless materials that made him feel disgusting flew in his brain, and he quickly shook his head to expel these messy thoughts.

The woman took Xue Ziliang and a few soldiers to the first floor, and turned around to a room that didn't look special.

"This is Wen Xinyi's study, no one is allowed to come in on weekdays, and the little woman has only come here by chance, if Wen Xinyi wants to escape, I'm afraid there is only one way here." The woman pointed to the room and stepped back.

Xue Ziliang and a few marines walked into the room, the door of the room hung diagonally on the door frame, the soldiers who should have been searched before kicked it open, the room was overturned with desks, stools, bookcases and so on in the room, there was a central hall hanging on the wall, and a few calligraphy and paintings were hanging on the side, but I didn't see anything special.

"Comrade Lieutenant, I think...... It's unlikely that anyone could hide here, right? A soldier next to him looked around the room.

Xue Ziliang looked around for a week, and always felt a little awkward, but he couldn't think of anything that caused the awkwardness, and at this time, he turned around several times inside, but he couldn't think of it at all, so he had to walk out again.

The few prisoners lying on the ground in the hall on the first floor who were not dead were also completely dead at this time, after all, although the bayonet has a limit on the killing distance, the guys who were poked by the bayonet in the battle and did not get timely rescue rarely survived.

"The lockdown continues, no one is allowed to come in or out of this house." He gave the order and walked up the bridge. Since he didn't find Wen Xinyi, he still looked back a little unwillingly, and at this glance, he couldn't help but start to breathe rapidly. The study I had just entered was on the west side of the room, and from this position, the length of the outside of the room was longer than the length seen from the inside.

"Stop!" He hurriedly shouted at the soldiers who were walking out. For a while, his subordinates jumped for a while, and they all picked up their rifles and looked around.

"Lada Zhang, bring your class with me!" Xue Ziliang was secretly surprised while shouting, he couldn't remember the name of the squad leader before, but he shouted it as smoothly as he wanted at this time, Zhang Adaa was not ambiguous at this time, and hurriedly gestured to the soldiers behind, and immediately followed Xue Ziliang to the room.

Xue Ziliang rushed into the study with someone, and kicked the brick and wood structure of the house, and soon found that a section of the wall of more than one meter was empty, there must be a secret door or something, and it definitely needed to be opened from the outside. However, they didn't have to think about looking for the switch to open the secret door at all, and soon a few soldiers under the leadership of Zhang Ah Da found a few axes from the firewood room on the side of the courtyard, and directly began to chop on the wall.

Sure enough, after a few chops, a small hole appeared in the wall, and then a group of soldiers pulled and pulled down the empty wall, and a cool breeze blew from the hole, making a group of soldiers shiver.

It's a downward path.

Several soldiers looked down, Xue Ziliang hurriedly stopped, and at the moment when they retracted their heads, two more feather arrows shot out of it, one of which also pierced the military cap of a marine.

"Listen, the people inside, you lay down your arms and come out and surrender, and you can fight for ......" Before the soldier could finish speaking, two more feathered arrows flew out, so frightened that he sat on the ground and was able to dodge these two arrows.

"Grenades!" Xue Ziliang gestured to the soldiers next to him, and the soldiers took out a few grenades from their pockets.

This is a strange work of the Senate's military industrial system, since the beginning of the design is intended to use cast iron shells to make grenades, but it was found that the power of black detonators is insufficient, many grenades are either divided into two after exploding, or are divided into several huge pieces, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the target. So the military industry turned its attention to bamboo. The power of this bamboo shell grenade is also very small, so the bamboo shell is covered with a thin iron sheet of prefabricated fragments to ensure lethality, this kind of grenade because of the congenital lack of charge detonating power, the lethality is always very limited, at most it can only be guaranteed to play a role within a radius of three meters, and it also needs to be pre-ignited with fire, just like playing thundering firecrackers and exploding fish in the old time and space. Some of the veterans of the military group often ridiculed that this kind of grenade is not as good as the thundering firecrackers of the old time and space, at least the speed of burning after the thundering fuse is ignited is still controllable, and although this group of people have been involved in all walks of life, none of them have ever made firecrackers, and some of the fuses made burn quickly, and some of them cannot be lit for half a day, which is simply a collection of fake and shoddy products. However, this problem was solved by the arrival of a few hawkers, these hawkers sold firecrackers from An Yuncheng to sell, the fuses of these firecrackers are quite good, and the burning speed is even, so the special investigation team raided the firecracker shop that night, and arrested the boss's family to Dongfang Port, after a period of brainwashing and purification, the whole family became an important member of the military industry.

However, despite this, because the incendiary fuse is always uncontrollable due to moisture or the speed of burning, according to the code, at least three grenades should be thrown into such a narrow space to prevent the enemy from pulling out or extinguishing the burning speed too slowly. At this time, the Marines at the entrance of the cave threw more than a dozen grenades into it, and although the people inside did not know what they threw in, they also knew that it was definitely not a good thing. All I could hear was chaos inside, screams and the sound of stepping on something and slipping, and soon it calmed down amid a series of explosions.

Then Xue Ziliang took out a flashlight and a pistol from his pocket and was the first to walk in. They first looked at the two recalcitrant people who were killed, although they had been blown up beyond recognition, but according to their clothes and body shapes, they were definitely not Wen Xinyi. Xue Ziliang let out a long sigh and looked forward, this is a long tunnel, about one and a half meters wide and two meters high, according to the humidity coming from both sides of the tunnel and the direction of travel, this is straight to the bottom of the lake, there is no wind blowing in front, probably leading to a certain secret room.

Soon the tunnel extended to a door, followed by a few soldiers quickly opened the door, everyone was directly stunned, this is like the treasure house of the forty thieves in Alibaba, full of gold and silver treasures and all kinds of strange things, there are seven or eight large water tanks in the distance, and many dry food and salted meat and other foods stacked on a table, it seems that if it is not found, the two people who were killed in the tunnel just now and Wen Xinyi can live in this secret room for at least more than a month. There are still a lot of letters on the table on the other side, Wen Xinyi opened it and saw that there were some unintelligible words on it, and I heard a few literate naturalized people who had been pirates before next to him say that this was a pirate's document, and a few of them were still Zhong Bin's, and there were also Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong and others.

"I'll go, is this a pirate's den?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look around, and at the same time ordered his soldiers: "All the things here are sealed, no one is allowed to take them, search everywhere to see if there are any secret doors or something, since this is a pirate den, there must be other secret doors!" ”
