"Brother Song. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Hua Meng excitedly walked into room 1105 from the corridor, looked left and right and didn't see Song Qi, so he asked Mingyu, "Miss, where is Brother Song?" ”

Mingyu chuckled and pointed to the cave, "Look, he's under the hole." ”

Hua Meng looked down at the bottom of the cave and saw that Song Qi was busy moving the bluestone slab, and Mao Yong was standing next to him to help him hold the torch. Hua Meng squatted down and glared at Mao Yong, who shrugged helplessly.

Hua Meng shouted below: "Brother Song, we have discovered a new situation. ”

"What's the situation?" Song Qi didn't raise his head, but just said in a sullen voice, grabbed the two ends of the bluestone slab with both hands, and pulled it out hard.

Hua Meng said: "Do you know who we saw? We found that Zhai Fu was sneaking around at the door of the inn. After Zhai Fu saw our people, he left. I sent someone to keep an eye on him quietly. It is estimated that his whereabouts will be found soon. ”

"Of course Zhai Fu covets this huge amount of silver, otherwise why would he go to all the trouble to draw that silver map?" Song Qi said in a rough voice under the cave.

"You're doing the right thing!" Mingyu said approvingly to Hua Meng, "Zhai Fu really wants to get this Tibetan silver, and he will definitely not let Tudou take this silver." If we find Zhai Fu, maybe we can find Tudou, and finally we can find the whereabouts of Tibetan silver. ”

"If we work together, we might be able to find the whereabouts of the hidden silver!" Song Qi said, pulling the bluestone slab out of the side hole with all his might, revealing a hole in the ground that was four feet wide and five feet high in front of him. Song Qi took the torch from Mao Yong's hand, bowed down, and stretched the torch into the hole, the firelight illuminated the side hole, Song Qi saw that there were obvious messy footprints printed on the hole, and it extended about three or four feet in front of him, and then turned to the right and was out of sight.

"How?" Mingyu looked down at the cave from above and asked with concern.

"Now I'm sure the silver was taken from this cave." Song Qi laughed.

Mao Yong laughed and said: "With this hole, we can follow the vine and find the soil bucket." ”

"That's great!" Hua Meng said happily, "Then do you want Zhai Fu to continue to follow?" ”

"Of course!" Song Qi looked up at Hua Meng and cut the railroad to the forefront, "Although Zhai Fu and Tudou are both coming for Tibetan silver, their motives and positions are different. Tudou came to steal the silver, representing a certain force against Ximen Liu, Zhai Fu was instructed by Ximen Liu to assassinate me, representing the power of Ximen Liu. Maybe Ximen Liu sent to Liuyun County doesn't know Zhai Fu alone, let's trace Zhai Fu's whereabouts, and we can find the other people sent by Ximen Liu. ”

"I see!" The flower is as fierce as a dream before waking up.

Mingyu looked down at Song Qi, whose face was covered with dirt, and asked with a smile: "Since Tudou is against Ximen Liu, can it be said that Tudou is our friend?" ”

Song Qi thought for a moment and said, "In a sense, the enemy of the enemy can be our friend. But as far as Tudou is concerned, he is not. First of all, he did not oppose Simon Liu head-on, so his position is not clear; Secondly, he is the scum of Dream Island, and we don't need such friends; Third, he stole the hidden silver, which is tantamount to opposing us. ”

"Well, you're right!" Mingyu said.

"Brother Song, so what should we do next?" Hua Meng asked.

"As I said, we'll work together." Song Qi said briefly, "You continue to track down the whereabouts of Zhai Fu and Tudou on the ground. I followed his footsteps along this hole. ”

Hua Meng glanced at Mingyu and then at Song Qi, "This is not good!" Let me go down the ground and find out. ”

"Brother Song, you better let the head of the flower sect do it." Mingyu pleaded.

"Half of the things on both sides are done, and it's not good to make temporary substitutions!" Song Qi spread out his hands and said, "Let's divide our labor." Mingyu, you sit in the General's Mansion as the commander-in-chief, Brother Hua, you continue to track down the whereabouts of Zhai Fu and Tudou. Mao Yong and I went down the hole in the ground to investigate. ”

"Okay!" When Mingyu heard Song Qi say that he wanted to take Mao Yong with him, he was also a little relieved and gave in very generously, but he still put forward the condition and said, "I won't go back to the General's Mansion." I'm here to stay. She was worried that if someone filled in the hole, Song Qi and Mao Yong wouldn't be able to come back.

"Okay!" Song Qi could understand Mingyu's worries, so he didn't insist.

The two carried enough equipment. torches, which are indispensable lighting tools; Shovels, in case the exit of the hole is sealed, can be opened with a shovel; ropes, in case the exit of the cave is a cliff; water and dry food, in case the cave is too long, and it takes a day and a night; Repeaters, swords, this is a must-have weapon for self-defense.

said that it was two people, and in addition, he brought two soldiers, mainly to let them take things. Drilling such a narrow hole in the ground, too many people will get in the way.

Mao Yong insisted on walking in front, but Song Qi couldn't resist him, so he could only give in.

The hole is not too small to climb, and it is not too big to walk upright. Mao Yong held a torch in his hand, bowed his head and bent his back, took the lead in drilling into the hole on the side, and slowly marched to the front, Song Qi followed with a shovel in his hand, and the two soldiers behind followed closely with various things.

After walking three or four feet, the hole turned to the right, and they continued in the direction of the hole. After advancing three or four more feet, the hole turned another turn. After that, the hole got higher and higher, and it was almost normal to walk upright. It looks like there is no house overhead, that's why they dig with impunity.

After walking for a pillar of incense, I reached the end of the cave, and there was no way to go left and right in front of me. The total length of this cave is more than 100 zhang. In order to steal the Tibetan silver, Tudou actually dug such a big hole in the ground, it seems that he did spend a lot of work, and his helpers are definitely more than four people.

Mao Yong held the torch and shone it around, touched it with his hand, and said, "It seems that there is no way." ”

Song Qi stepped on a small puddle of water under his feet, and he was about to say how there could be water here, when a drop of cold water dropped on his face. He looked up at the top and saw a vertical hole above his head, and the inside of the hole was dark.

Mao Yong raised the torch high and stretched it into the cave to take a photo, and now he saw the situation in the cave clearly. The cave above is a round hole three feet in diameter, and the four walls of the hole are covered with stones, which looks like an abandoned well. The top of the well was sealed by a huge stone, and there was not a single light.

Song Qi held the shovel high and stood on tiptoe, unable to reach the bluestone slab above his head. Song Qi whispered: "Presumably the top of this cave is the exit!" ”

"yes." Mao Yong said slowly, "This should be the exit." But is it the wilderness or the street outside the exit, or is it inside the houses? We don't know. If it's a wilderness and a street, it's fine. If it's in someone's house, I'm afraid it's more troublesome! Todou and his accomplices must have lived in it. ”

"Let me get close to the slate and listen to the movement outside." Song Qi said that he asked the two soldiers to squat directly under the hole, and he held the top of the cave with one hand and stepped on the shoulders of the two soldiers with his foot to make them stand up.

The two soldiers stood up against Song Qi, and Song Qi also stood up straight on their shoulders, the top of his head was still a foot away from the bluestone slab above, and if his hand was stretched up, he could reach the bluestone slab on it.

Song Qi pressed his ears against the wall of the cave, held his breath and listened... (To be continued.) )
