Chapter 529: Contra
A burly man, with more than a dozen sergeants armed with crossbows, and a man with a very ordinary appearance led the way in front.
"Mr. Wang may have seen the traces of his predecessors?"
The big man with a thick strip of cloth wrapped around his back asked softly.
This big man is Li Zhenfan, and the Mune man who was called Mr. Wang by King Li Yan is the little king who intercepted Li Zhenfan and was captured.
Xiao Wang was very glad that the superfluous sigh at that time saved his life. The three words Miss Four may not be strange to others, but for a Mo Dao hand instructor who has been unknown in Huaiyang Road for 20 years, Miss Four has always been an exclusive title - Wang Jiehua, the fourth miss of the Wang family.
Li Zhenfan's subconscious reaction, there must be a reason. So the horse that was about to stab Xiao Wang's chest instinctively deviated from the direction, and then Li Zhenfan, who has always been ruthless in killing, kicked Xiao Wang unconscious.
It turned out that Li Yan was right, and after Xiao Wang woke up, he quickly figured out what was going on. Xiao Wang has the same purpose as him, both are to save Xie Shence.
After that, things were simple, Li Zhenfan provided manpower supply, Xiao Wang pursued clues, more than ten people were ready, and although the latter did not arrive first, they gradually followed.
During this period, when King Li Yan passed by the camp where the mercenaries followed by Xiao Wang, he saw stinking corpses all over the ground.
So not surprisingly, King Li Yan was tracking the traces of that group of mercenaries at this time, wanting to slaughter them.
It seems that King Li Yan, who has put down the main rescue mission and ignored it, has done this very well, first, this group of people has really hurt heaven and reason, and they should be punished for their crimes. Second, it is also because, according to Xiao Wang's description, this group of people is very good, if they are not very embarrassed, or they have already responded, so as long as they are found, they are likely to find clues, and then they can let go of the killing ring.
Xiao Wang raised his hand and lay on the ground, which is a commonly used listening technique in the army. More than ten people stopped together, King Li Yan made a gesture, more than ten short crossbows began to be wound, and the fingers of all the sergeants silently attached the trigger, and when an order was given, the enemy in any direction within fifty steps pointed by King Li Yan could be shot into hedgehogs.
"There's a river ahead, and it's not far away." Xiao Wang got up and patted the soil and grass on his body as if nothing happened.
King Li's gesture changed again, and the sergeants rested on the spot without the slightest noise.
"There is no river for more than ten miles in a row, and the gang is not in a hurry, they must have rested. There is a big river ahead, and it is just right to camp. According to the speed of our tracking, if the direction is correct, in an hour or two, catch the gang, and we will know the situation of the rabbit cub. ā
Xiao Wang nodded, but did not answer. Because he was not sure whether the previous group of people was related to Xie Shence, or Emperor Jin and Wen Chong.
In fact, he is the same as King Li Yan, and he doesn't have much hope. It's just that chasing and killing these people, firstly, because the situation is compelling, it is better to have a goal than a headless fly, and secondly, because the traces left by this group of people are vaguely like the habits of the people in Jindu. This is not something that King Li Yan can see, this is a unique ability that Xiao Wang has.
In the end, there is hope. King Li Yan didn't believe that Xie Shence died like this, but Xiao Wang couldn't believe it.
After resting for a while, further on, there was indeed a raging river, and a sharp-eyed soldier could see the tent two or three miles upstream at a glance.
After that, it's a roundabout outflanking -
The more Xie walked the more he felt a little dizzy and tinnitus, and it felt like walking in a big drum that had been hammered.
Xie Shence shook his dizzy head, and then said angrily, "Are we walking under the river?" ā
Murong Duan said, "Yes." ā
Xie Shence was stunned, took a sip, and scolded, Murong Duan didn't need to listen to it to know that he was talking about those craftsmen of the Great Chu Dynasty whose heads were clamped by donkeys.
Just as Xie Shence really didn't understand why those people would bury such a huge complex deep underground, Xie Shence didn't understand why these people would set the exit under the riverbed.
Xie Shence didn't know, but Murong Duan knew. Compared with the blind eyes of others about the secrets of history, many confidential files, even those that only the direct children of the royal family are qualified to see, can be consulted at will. Some of the powers are greater than those of the Admiral of the Knights.
After all, Xie Shence still has Emperor Jin above, and he is not surnamed Tian, but Murong Duan is the undisputed female overlord in the royal family of Yan State, and his status cannot be equal. What's more, what Xie Shence didn't know was that Murong Duan was the director of the Yan Kingdom's Royal Library, in other words, the Yan Kingdom's Royal Library was located in Xingdao, the headquarters of Yuchizi, Murong Duan's actual home.
Therefore, Murong Duan knew that the two masters of heaven and earth were not really stupid, let alone their heads were clamped by a donkey, but because the design of passing under the river and opening an opening from the other side of the river can make the greatest use of the rise and fall of the river and solve the problem of tomb robbery.
In fact, their worries are unnecessary, because until today, when the Great Chu Dynasty fell to the country for more than 200 years, such a thing as tomb robbery has not happened once.
Well, in fact, for two hundred years, no one in this world knows exactly where the Imperial Pavilion is and where the door opens.
Use the rise and fall of the river to stop tomb robbery, so today, Murong Duan and Xie Shence will go against the design of the heavenly master and open the door when the water rises, so that it is possible to avoid being shot into mud by the crossbow designed by the master craftsman.
This is not an easy task, not to mention how to pass through a mile-long underground river and a pool of piranhas, and even if it does, you must always be on guard against poisonous arrows flying from somewhere.
Xie Shence didn't know anything about this, and Murong Duan didn't dare to ask, and he didn't know how to ask. And even if he asked, Murong Duan would not answer him if he was in a bad mood.
Finally, after walking out of the last gate modeled on the construction design of the Great Chu Imperial City, there is only a stone gate that can only allow one person to pass through.
It's the end of it.
The stone gate was damp and lubricated, and there was no moss, and Xie Shence smelled an extremely strong stench.
Stepping on a few fine rotten bones, Xie Shence realized that they were left by a mouse who didn't know how to die that year.
Murong Duan took out a torch wrapped tightly in oiled paper and sealed with a layer of wax on it, lit it and glanced at Xie Shence.
Xie Shence was a little panicked by him, glanced at the black hole and asked, "Hey, there won't be anything in there, right?" ā
Murong shook his head, thanked Shence for putting down his heart and raised his feet to step forward.
However, just when Xie Shence's left foot stepped into the stone gate and his right foot was not yet strong, Murong Duan said, "I don't know either. ā
Xie Shence felt that his body was a little stiff, and he maintained a posture of stepping forward with one foot extremely embarrassing.
Murong Duan didn't give him a chance to speak, and kicked Xie Shence in the back, letting him take the initiative to step forward and "walk" three steps before Murong Duan followed. She was very satisfied with Xie Shence's performance.
The road ahead was dark, and the air was insufficient, not only did it have some difficulty breathing, but even the flames of the torches were pitiful, and they looked like they were sick and hung on to their last breath if they were about to die.
"Why do I think I hear water?"
Xie Shence turned around and asked nervously again.
Murong Duan didn't frighten Xie Shence anymore, nodded honestly, and said, "There should be a big river above our heads." ā
"Just walk over there and get out, right?"
Murong Duan listened to Xie Shence's innocent tone, and sighed in her heart that those who don't know are stupid, but in the end, she didn't deceive Xie Shence, she once again honestly hit Xie Shence: "No, after here, there is an underground dark river about a mile or so, after that"
"Oh my God! Swimming so far? ā
Murong Duan looked at Xie Shence strangely and said, "It's not swimming, it's diving." ā
Xie Shence's face changed greatly.
"You're crazy! Dive a mile! Can you do it? I don't believe it! I can't do it anyway. Don't drown me, you crazy, I haven't lived enough! Dive a mile, you can figure it out! Lao Tzu is dying, starving, dying of exhaustion, and he doesn't want to be drowned! If you want to die, don't pull me! ā
Murong Duan sneered: "I want to go back now, it's too late!" This door doesn't require three people to open at the same time than the one that comes in, but it requires at least two, so I can't get out without you. And if you won't let me or get out, I don't mind killing you now. ā
Xie Shence opened his mouth, inexplicably sad and indignant, and then there were signs of compromise.
However, Xie Shence finally decided to make one last struggle.
"Then you have to tell me what else will happen after that, if this lurks, more than once, you might as well kill me now."
Murong Duan said: "This kind of lurking, just once"
Xie Shence's spirit was shocked.
"There should be a piranha in the back."
Xie Shence: ""
After a few breaths, I heard Xie Shence roar angrily: "Murong Duan, are you a special mother who will die if you don't say half a word?!" ā
Murong Duan shook his head and said, "Also, we need to open the door when the water is rising, and then pass through the stone forest, surface without triggering the crossbow and gun mechanism, and climb the stone cliff to get out." ā
Xie Shence: ""
Is this Contra? But who told Lao Tzu before that he had three lives to test the waters?
After a long time, a weak voice asked, "Your Highness the eldest princess, why don't we go out through the door where we came in?" ā
"Because, that door is blocked by rocks, he can open it, but with the strength of the two of us, it will take at least a year to dig up those blockages."
Xie Shence gave up.
He thought in his heart that he really lost.
"Then why did you come in at the time?"
Murong Duan was silent, as if he had thought about it, before he said, "I'm just curious, I want to come in and take a look." ā
Xie Shence ignored Murong Duan's lame reason, he had been injured to the point of death by Murong Duan's half-sentence critical hit, and the remaining amount of blood was only enough to use for schemes, and it was not enough to fight or even fight.
"I'm going to get out I can't die here, yes, I'm going out, I'm going to get out!"
Xie Shence said loudly: "Murong Duan, since you know the mechanism here, then you must have a way to get out, right?" You must have thought about it, didn't you? ā
The honest Murong Duan shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it. ā
After Murong Duan finished speaking, he still found that his eyes were burning at her, so he asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ā
"I'm waiting."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the second half of your sentence."
Murong Duan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No." ā
"None?"
"Well, no. I'm done. ā
Murong Duan added: "It's just a sentence. I didn't think about it. ā
Xie Shence leaned against the wall.
"You don't have big breasts, why are you so brainless?"
"What did you say?"
Murong Duan was furious to find that Xie Shence's eyes were staring directly at his chest.
Bastard! At this time, there is still the heart to think about this? Murong Duan felt that his fists were a little itchy.
And staring at someone somewhere in a perfect arc under the soft armor, round but not huge, seemed unaware of the looming crisis.
Round, one hand forehead is not, bowl lid no, no, no, boat? It's not right, it's capsizing!
Murong Duan found that he couldn't stand someone's naked eyes anymore, and those eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and those two pig hands seemed to be about to climb up.
So Murong clenched his fists and punched again.
"Ahh Hahaha! I thought about it, I thought about it! I know how it passed! ā
Someone jumped up at a speed far beyond normal reactions, dancing with their hands, and hitting their heads on the top of the tunnels without realizing it.
At the same time, there was a "bang", and the muffled sound of the fist in close contact with the stone wall echoed in the stone path.
"Huh? I'm just thinking of a way, why are you so excited? ā
"IāI'm not excited."
Xie Shence said disdainfully: "You are clearly excited." Also, the appearance of a lifesaver is always something to be thankful for. ā
"I really don't!" Murong Duan's voice already carried a trace of annoyance and ninety percent annoyance.
"Cover it up, otherwise what are you hammering the wall for? You see, the fists are swollen. ā
"I said I didn't!" Murong Duan yelled.
Xie Shence shrunk his neck and whispered, "No, no, why are you so excited?" ā
"Hmph, in fact, there are still there, but I don't dare to admit that my IQ is lower than mine"
