Chapter 571 Under the Lake

It was a bonus. ()

With this map, things are much easier.

Immediately, Lu Heng took a group of people and others to the Shu Wangfu that had been captured.

There were 5,000 elite soldiers accompanying him, and in the end, Lu Heng also brought Lu craftsmen with him.

With this old horse to help guide the way, the matter of rescuing His Majesty should go much smoother.

The group scurried through the streets, kicking up a cloud of dust. The people who were closed behind closed doors poked their heads out one after another to look. I was nervous. Suspicious of what might happen.

When they arrived at the Shu Palace, the soldiers in charge of guarding hurriedly greeted them.

After Lu Heng turned over and dismounted, he didn't say a word, and directly led everyone into the palace of the King of Shu. The group walked through the porch to the back garden. After seeing the vast and atmospheric lake in the garden, Lu Heng stopped.

Because it is winter and the wind is cold, the lake is covered with a thin layer of ice.

It was already 10 o'clock in the middle of the day, and the sun was shining on the ice, reflecting a dazzling light.

By the lake, the withered trees, the few remaining dead leaves, fell on the ice, and as the cold wind blew, it streaked across the ice.

On the ice, there are several ice caves of about one meter. The soldiers stood in the ice cave, snorting and probing towards the bottom of the lake with the long wooden poles in their hands.

"Did you find anything?" Lu Heng stretched out his hand and sighed into the palm of his hand. Turning his head, he looked at Zhao Yunyi, who was in charge of guarding the Shu Palace.

"This lake is deep! Nothing was found! Zhao Yunyi shook his head and sighed. His eyes were a little dark, and it looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"What is that soldier doing?" After Lu Heng glanced at the lake, he suddenly found that a soldier was holding a horn iron on the water, with his ears attached to the back of the horn, as if listening to the movement in the water.

"Hehe, he said he was listening to the movement in the water!" Zhao Yunyi didn't understand the soldier's movements either, and asked before, but got such a ridiculous answer.

"Did you hear anything?" Lu Heng's interest increased greatly, and he asked with a smile. Templars,

"I caught a lot of fish!" Zhao Yunyi smiled awkwardly, and a look of shame appeared on his handsome face.

Seeing this, Lu Heng stared at Zhao Yun and was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, Lu Heng looked away, looked at the lake, and said with emotion: "Zhao Jiangyun, if you are a woman, you will definitely be confused by countless talents!" ”

Zhao Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and her pretty face turned even redder.

Seeing Zhao Yunyi lowered his head in embarrassment, he didn't dare to speak. Lu Heng laughed out loud and waved his hand to dispel the awkward atmosphere. raised his hand, pointed to the soldier who was listening to the movement in the lake with a loudspeaker, and said to Zhao Yunyi: "He doesn't have to be a soldier, when the matter in Beijing is settled, let him go to the Ministry of Industry to serve!" ”

Hearing this, the surrounding officers and soldiers were dumbfounded.

There are those who are envious, those who are jealous, and even more, who lament that this soldier full of whimsical ideas has made good luck.

From an ordinary big-headed soldier, he became an official of the Ministry of Industry. That's just the way it goes.

Zhao Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Really? ”

"What do you say?" Lu Heng laughed, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, then waved his hand, and led Wang Shichao and the others towards the direction pointed out by Craftsman Lu.

Behind him, Zhao Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.

Zhao Yunyi, who was excited, turned around, put his hand to his mouth, and shouted loudly to the lake: "Song Yingxing, you kid has good luck!" ”

On the lake, a soldier named Song Yingxing heard the general's voice. Confused, he looked up. Seeing the general standing there from afar and beckoning to himself, Song Yingxing was puzzled, but he also smiled and beckoned.

[Appendix: (Song Yingxing, the author of Tiangong Kaiwu)]

"What the hell is called, hurry up!" Wang Shichao turned around, slapped a sentence on the back of Zhao Yunyi's head, and scolded with a smile.

……

The group walked around the lake and walked to the rockery.

Craftsman Lu, who had been following Lu Heng's side, jumped out without waiting for Lu Heng to summon him.

I saw that after the craftsman Lu jumped up and down on the rockery for a while, his figure finally stopped next to a small green pine tree on the rockery. ()

"Found it?" Lu Heng took a step forward and asked.

Craftsman Lu nodded, pointed to a round pebble under the root of the small pine tree and said, "This is this stone!" ”

Then, Craftsman Lu raised his hand and pointed to a place on the rockery where no traces could be seen, and said seriously: "The secret door is here!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Heng nodded, and then pulled Lu Yushi back dozens of steps. Waving his hand, let Zhao Yunyi step forward with the bow battalion and sword and shield hands.

At the same time as a soldier stepped forward to pull the stone, dozens of soldiers with strong crossbows beside Zhao Yunyi hid behind the sword and shield hands, and the crossbow arrows were aimed at the secret door of the rockery.

"Ready!" Zhao Yunyi, who was waiting for the battle, waved his hand vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Open!" ”

The soldier who was squatting under the tree, after hearing this, held the pebble with both hands, twisted it hard for half a circle to the left, and then twisted it to the right again.

Boom, after the cobblestone pulls. The rockery, which was intact and intact, suddenly fell to the ground.

A one-person-high rectangular stone door, a black hole, appeared in front of him.

And at the same time as the stone gate appeared, dense feather arrows suddenly shot out of the stone gate.

"Bang bang!"

The strength of the feather arrows was extremely strong, and hundreds of them were shot out in an instant. Changed the shield in the hand of the sword and shield soldier to a hedgehog.

A few feathered arrows flew through the shields.

Ah Gui, who was standing beside Lu Heng, saw this, stepped forward without changing his face and blocked in front of Lu Heng. I didn't see him make any movements, just waved his hand casually, and a few feather arrows were rolled back.

Plop ......

The stone door stretched out, and after a few muffled sounds, the rate of fire of the arrow suddenly slowed.

And Zhao Yunyi, who was hiding behind the shield, seized this opportunity and immediately ordered the archers to fight back.

Bang bang bang......

The sound of the bowstring vibrating sounded one after another. Hundreds of arrows shot from the crossbow arrows, like a plague of locusts, densely pressed into the stone gate.

After a volley, a series of screams suddenly erupted from the depths of the stone gate.

"Shoot!" Zhao Yunyi took this opportunity and gave the order again.

A group of soldiers who were already ready to shoot behind hurriedly stepped forward and poured out their feather arrows towards the deep division gate.

After the third volley, there was no sound coming from inside.

It was only at this time that the cautious Lu Heng ordered Zhao Yunyi to light a torch to protect the Lu craftsman and bring people in.

Subsequently, Lu Heng, who was not at ease, also walked in.

Anyway, with Agui by his side, Lu Heng will go to Daoshan and Huohai.

Lu Heng went in, and Hong Fatzi had no choice but to follow in.

Wang Shichao is His Majesty's loyal guard, so naturally he has nothing to say.

However, Hong Fatzi is not his style to dare to venture in.

"Do you still remember what the old man told you in your house when I visited Queen Jin?" Entering the cave, Hong Fatzi also changed his hippie smiling face in the past. Seeing Lu Heng looking at him in surprise, Hong Fatzi smiled and said lightly.

Lu Heng smiled slightly and nodded.

The group slowly stepped down the steps. Zhao Yunyi led the lead with sharp soldiers, followed by A Gui and Lu Heng, as well as Hong Fatzi and Wang Shichao and others.

Maybe it's because he knows that Agui's martial arts are world-famous and extremely brave. Hong Fatman, who was still righteous and awe-inspiring just now, also secretly approached Lu Heng's side. looks like he's scared of death.

After walking about ten meters deep, I finally reached the bottom.

On the ground, there were more than a dozen silent corpses.

On these corpses, at least dozens of feathered arrows were inserted. The death was horrific and horrifying.

Zhao Yunyi, who was walking in front, thought about it, grabbed a panting one, and asked about the road below. But after seeing this situation, I couldn't help but look a little ugly.

He turned his head and glanced at the military advisor. The look in his eyes was full of apology.

Lu Heng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn't mind.

The group then continued to walk forward.

After walking in this damp and cold underground passage for a while, Craftsman Lu, who was closely protected by Zhao Yunyi, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yunyi asked curiously.

"There's the first mechanism ahead!" Craftsman Lu had seen the fierce battle at the entrance of the cave just now, and at this time, after seeing the dark front, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said nervously.

When Zhao Yunyi heard this, he looked at the front with a solemn gaze, protected Craftsman Lu and took a few steps back, and waved his hand behind him: "Sword and shield soldiers step forward!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the three sword and shield soldiers stepped forward together, raised their shields, and blocked the passage in front of them.

Subsequently, Zhao Yunyi personally took a bow and shot an arrow inside.

With a bang, the feather arrow came out of the string.

Shot into the pitch black ahead.

A moment later, there was a sudden clanging sound ahead, and sparks flew everywhere. If it weren't for the danger at this time, the fat man who boasted of being full of economy would definitely chant a poem and admire the spectacle in front of him, like fireflies flying in the sky.

Then, wait for the tinkling sound to fall after the time of a cup of tea. Zhao Yunyi sent someone, the torch, to explore the way.

In the faint light of the fire, Lu Heng and the others, who were staying in place, clearly saw that on the walls of the four-sided passage, the ground was full of dense feather arrows.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They looked at each other and gasped.

Then, the crowd passed through the first mechanism without danger.

When it came to the second mechanism, Zhao Yunyi threw out a stone, and as a result. Not far in front of him, the ground that was incomparably intact suddenly collapsed in half. One soldier was caught off guard and almost fell into the pit. Simply, Zhao Yunyi, who was behind him, was quick and picked him up.

Then, a soldier stepped forward and lit it with a torch.

Glancing at the caving pit, the soldier was sweating profusely.

It turned out that in this two-meter-deep pit, there was also an upside-down blade. The dense sharp knives, in the faint firelight, refracted a terrifying cold light, which made people's hearts chill.
