Chapter 618: Time Changes

The county lieutenant is the chief executive of one party, and even the county lieutenant would come to such an inconspicuous place, and Liu Yu didn't believe it when he said that there was nothing to do. Seeing this Tang handle, Liu Yu instinctively thought, there is a conspiracy!

Tang Shan stepped down from the sedan chair and looked around, slightly confused. Although he may have been in contact with this group of people before, he has never been to this place, and he is not familiar with the surroundings, so he will show his wariness. The man who led the way whispered something in his ear, and because of the distance, no one could hear what was said, and soon Tang Shan followed the man into the house, while the palanquin man stayed where he was.

Because there was only one torch in this line, when Tang Shan and the guide entered the house, it was pitch black outside. When the four palanquin men arrived at this gloomy place, it was still night, so they gathered together and shrank their hands to look around, after all, it was late October, and the weather was a little cold, and they leaned together to keep warm. Although they were together, they didn't speak, obviously they were still afraid of some things, and they didn't dare to talk about it without permission.

Liu Yu waved his hand, rushed out from both sides and knocked out a few guards, and immediately pressed all four palanquin drivers to the ground. Then the four palanquins were unlucky enough to cover their mouths and dragged to a dark corner to the side, and even their clothes were ripped off. The four palanquins were suddenly in danger, and they couldn't shout out, and while they were worried, they saw a large group of people holding weapons against their heads.

"A good man spares his life."

Liu Yu asked the guards to pull the four sedan chair drivers to a distance, and changed the four guards to put on the clothes of the sedan chair and returned to the sedan chair, which made the guards let go of the mouth of a sedan chair driver. As soon as the sedan chair man saw a man and a woman come out, he was very shocked and said a word of forgiveness.

"Be honest, not honest. Send you to Hades with me. Liu Yue roared. The palanquin man nodded in fear.

"Why are you here? Be clear. Don't think you can hide it from us. ”

"Yes, yes, this good man, we are...... The sedan chair man of the county governor's mansion has just sent the county lieutenant over, and the county lieutenant and his old man are going to come to see someone, who it is, we don't know who it is, the county lieutenant just said that today is a big deal. He can't tell the whereabouts of his old man. Heroes spare their lives, we really don't know what the county lieutenant is doing, if there is anything that offends all the heroes, forgive me, ......"

Originally, he was very scared, and he spoke upside down, and after talking for a long time, he didn't say anything.

Liu Yu asked again: "Who went to find your master?" ”

"We don't know who it is, but it seems that someone sent a letter, and the lord read it. I didn't even go home. The master just married a concubine in the past two days, and he was in a hurry to go back...... In the evening. The county governor's mansion is a person, and we don't know who it is. The county lieutenant talked with him in the room for a while before he said that he wanted to come out, so he asked us to carry the sedan chair and follow the man...... Heroes, don't let us tell lies, we really don't know the way. You will spare your lives, and we, the little ones, will burn incense for you old people. “

Liu Yu frowned, these four are either small characters who don't know anything, or they are well disguised and don't want to show their stuffing and play sloppy here.

Liu Yu said to Lian Husheng: "Take it down, and deal with it afterwards." ”

Lian Husheng beckoned the guards to escort people away, Liu Yu looked at the direction of the door of the abandoned house again, and at this time, the four sedan chair drivers pretended to be by the guards were sitting there, learning from the appearance of the four sedan chair drivers just now, which looked very obscene. And after Tang Shan, the county lieutenant of Lang County, went in, he never came out.

"The head of the house seems to have entered the hall, and then even the light is gone." There are guards in charge of investigating at a high place, and after getting the news, they will send it back to Liu Yu.

"In this village, there should be secret passages and secret rooms, and it may also be a cellar, and the people in it are not simple." Liu Yu said a word, and then turned to Qu Zhu and said, "You take some people, seal all the places around you that can escape, and listen to the order to act in a while." ”

Liu Yu temporarily divided the people he brought this time into five parts, each of which had a code word of arrows and contact, so that once there was a disturbance on either side, they could form support. Because Liu Yu brought not many people, only more than 300 people, if there were too many chaotic parties in the city, they might not be able to win.

When everything was arranged, Liu Yu passed another order, asking the guards to enter the stockade, close to the courtyard, and look for the entrance to the secret room and secret passage.

Liu Yu didn't rush in, but let the guards take the lead, at this time Liu Liniang's face was a little hesitant and confused, Liu Yu asked, "What did Liniang find?" ”

Liu Liniang shook her head and said, "The slave family just can't figure it out, why did the master come?" ”

"Maybe it's your junior sister, maybe we found your junior sister before your master." Liu Yu couldn't figure out this matter, he originally came to find Mrs. Wuding, but he found Liu Liniang's junior sister, and then found that there seemed to be a conspiracy here. Whether it was Master Wuding who deliberately brought them over, or whether it was a coincidence, Liu Yu couldn't tell.

As the guards entered the mansion, Liu Yu's heart also rose. Now the two sides will exchange fire at any time and start a fight, and the secrets in this mansion will be exposed, but what will be inside, so that the old woman of the underworld and the white road can get the county lieutenant to come together, everything is a mystery. Especially when Liu Yu thought of Liu Liniang's sentence "After tonight, the world will be mine", he felt a little shuddered.

Time passed minute by minute, Liu Yu waited outside for a long time, but there was still no movement inside, and even arrows and signal flares were not issued. This means that nothing is going on inside. After a while, the guard in charge of taking the lead came out to report, saying that he had inspected the inside and found nothing.

"Gone?" Liu Yue sneered, "If you look for it inch by inch, even if you turn the house over, you have to find people!" ”

Liu Yuezhi said that the longer the time drags on, the more likely it is that things will change. A few days ago, in Chang'an City, I surrounded and suppressed the high-level of the Three Puritans, and went to the back of the bamboo basket to draw water, because these Three Puritans escaped from the tunnel. If the surrounding area is also the terrain of the day, it is easy for this group of people to escape, not to mention that there is Liu Liniang's sister making trouble, once Liu Liniang's sister plays tricks, there is no need for Liu Yu to beat the grass, and the snake will be shocked.

Liu Yu was waiting impatiently, and suddenly there seemed to be a flash of fire in the courtyard, and soon the fire disappeared again.

In an instant, it seemed as if the air around me had frozen. Liu Yu believed that this abnormal movement had alerted all the guards. They should have figured it out.

There was no other sound.

I saw it from the door of the house, which had no door. I saw a man walk out. There was no one around, and the way he walked was no different from the Tang handle who had entered before. In other words, Tang Shan followed a person in, but now he came out alone, as if he had already met someone, or came out after discussing something.

Liu Yue regarded this Tang handle as an accomplice of the rebellious party early on. Liu Yu was not polite, and directly made a gesture to take people. A bunch of people rushed up, and at the same time, the guards also rushed along the source of the fire just now.

"Who?"

Tang Shan's reaction was timely, and he was taken down, so he was cautious and shouted. With this shout, the courtyard of the house also became a mess. Because the Tang handle was "drilled" out of the soil of the courtyard, the guards did not know how to enter and exit the secret passage. I had to use a strong way to break open the entrance.

"Coax!"

There was a loud bang, the sound of the guards blowing up the ground with gunpowder.

With this sound. Suddenly, there was another shout of killing in the courtyard, and the guards had already killed them through the entrance of the secret passage that had exploded.

Liu Yu approached the direction of the yard with a short gun, and ordered: "Tie the net tightly, there can be no fish that slip through the net!" ”

Liu Yu's meaning is to let the five parts of the people cooperate with each other, and no one else escapes from the secret passage. Soon, there was a gunshot sound, far or near, all around the mansion, it was obvious that the people inside sensed the danger and wanted to escape from other exits, but they met Liu Yu's people and there was a fight.

Lian Husheng, as the captain of the advance team, took the lead in rushing to the front line, he was also the first group of people to enter the secret passage, Liu Yu looked into the courtyard from the broken wall outside the house, at this time in a dirt pit, there were some fires, and the sound of gunfire and shouting from the dirt pit continued. The guards in the back will still keep jumping down from the dirt pit, which is also the best entrance to this "rat's nest".

The battle did not last long, and soon everything calmed down. Just when Liu Yue thought that the general situation had been decided, a person suddenly "jumped" out of the secret passage, this person seemed to bounce up on the spot, jumped out of the pit directly, and fought with the guards on the edge of the pit. Although this person was dressed in black and masked, Liu Yue could tell that she was Liu Liniang's younger sister, the old woman.

When Liu Liniang saw her junior sister appearing, she didn't hesitate at the moment, and flew forward directly to catch this person.

Although Liu Yu's guards were strong, they were not martial arts masters after all, and the old woman made a series of tricks, and soon Liu Yu's guards retreated in defeat. Because the distance was too close, these guards could not accurately attack with muskets, but they dragged the old woman and gave Liu Liniang time to step forward.

Liu Liniang looks enchanting and charming on weekdays, but at this time, she is extremely agile, like a sharp arrow, and she rushes into the crowd, and then two slender black shadows are intertwined. Liu Liniang and her junior sister both use long swords as weapons, and the two intersect with blades, and they are also indistinguishable.

Liu Yu stood aside, took a short gun and measured it, the figures of the two people were intertwined in the dark night, Liu Yu didn't dare to shoot, and felt that he couldn't help for a while.

"Senior sister, turn back to the shore." Liu Liniang snorted.

When the two sides face each other, what they must avoid is to break their true breath. And Liu Liniang's opening was at a disadvantage in reaching out, and Liu Liniang's junior sister took the opportunity to oppress up, forcing Liu Liniang to retreat step by step, which was exactly like this, so that there was a gap between Liu Liniang and the "old woman".

Liu Yu smiled at the moment, Liu Liniang knew his strengths, and deliberately retreated to give full play to Liu Yu's strengths. Such a husband and wife are of the same heart, of course Liu Yu will not fail to understand.

"Bang!" Liu Yu immediately shot and hit Liu Liniang's junior sister in the chest directly.

With this shot, Liu Liniang's junior sister was like a broken kite, took a few steps back, and was forced into a corner by a group of guards. But the sword taken in the old woman's hand, and Liu Yu did not give a clear order whether he wanted to die or live, the guards did not get up and stepped forward.

"Yo! Old-timer, is this you? Liu Yu blew on the muzzle of the gun, approached with a smile and asked.

Liu Liniang was a little tired after a fight, and walked over and glanced at Liu Yu by the way, as if she was accusing him of "teasing" her junior sister.

"Stinky boy, who should the old body be, it turned out to be you!" Although Liu Liniang's junior sister did not appear in the appearance of an old dragon bell, after all, her face was covered with a black cloth, and she was also old under the black cloth.

Liu Yu smiled: "The juniors haven't seen the seniors for a long time, and I want to thank you in person." Save the arm of the juniors. ”

Liu Liniang's younger sister looked at Liu Yu. Look at Liu Liniang behind Liu Yu again. Dengshi understood what was going on. She sneered, laughed very poignantly, and said, "Stinky boy, when the old body asked you to kill her, you actually walked with her." The old body thinks that you are not far from death! ”

Liu Yu was thinking about how to capture the old woman alive and ask about the whereabouts of the Book of Heaven, but saw the old woman suddenly "crash" into the wall behind her. Just when everyone was puzzled, what was she going to do. Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.

The sudden explosion was so violent that even the earth trembled, and with this explosion, several houses not far from the mansion were instantly razed to the ground. Just when Liu Yu was lying on the ground and hiding behind the boulder, the old woman followed the opportunity at night, ran up the wall, and disappeared with a smoke.

Liu Yu stood up again, but saw that the old woman was gone. Angry at the loss of the opportunity to seize her best, even Liu Liniang was faintly disappointed.

"How could it be so coincidental. Explosion? Liu Yu muttered and stabilized his mind. At this time, most of the guards also gathered their minds and wanted to know what was going on outside the road.

Qu Zhu went to inspect it, and when he came back, he reported that there was an explosion at a place where gunpowder was buried, and only then did he have the violent reaction like an earthquake just now.

Only then did Liu Yu realize that this was not only the secret stronghold of the Three Puritans, but also a secret underground arsenal.

Soon, Lian Husheng, who was in charge of taking the lead, also came back with people, he had completed the assault on the tunnel, and returned with a group of rebellious parties captured alive.

"Boss, the tunnels below, we have opened, the tunnels lead in all directions, and we don't know where the tunnels lead, arresting a few people, and there are still people below who continue to search. If the subordinates expected it to be good, it should be that some chaotic parties fled first, and they should search in the city as soon as possible. ”

Liu Yue secretly thought, such a small county seat of Lang County, with such tunnels extending in all directions, as well as a secret arsenal, it seems that the strength of the Three Qing Sects around Chang'an City is still quite a threat to Chang'an City. It was time to launch a search in all the surrounding counties, purging the followers of the Three Puritans and digging up the hidden underground chaos with a purpose.

"The people from the government should come soon after hearing the news, so we don't have to worry about it." Liu Yu spoke, and the person walked over to Tang Shan, the county lieutenant of Lang County, who was pressed to the ground.

"Who are you?" Tang Shan heard the footsteps of a group of people coming over, and asked, "If you dare to rebel in the county seat, you don't want to live!" ”

Liu Yu stepped forward and sneered: "You little county lieutenant of Lang County, you dare to make such a mistake and collude with the rebellious party, do you think that the imperial court will not notice your actions, and you can get out of the matter for the rest of your life?" ”

Tang Shan was still very arrogant, but when he heard Liu Yu's words, he was also timid in his heart. Although he still doesn't know who Lu Dao is talking to, Liu Yu's words have already poked at Tang Shan's weakness.

"Raise his head so that he can see clearly, who am I, the rebel and troublemaker?"

Tang Shan's head was lifted by someone pulling his hair and pressing his neck, and Tang Shan's was shocked when he saw the person standing in front of him. The county guards or county lieutenants in other regions may not know the appearance of Liu Yu, but in Guanzhong, the heads of all the counties have seen the Son of Heaven and the Regent, and as the county lieutenant around Chang'an City, he has also entered Chang'an City to meet the Son of Heaven and King Lin, which is also the basic rule of officialdom.

The counties around the political core will always receive more attention than other regions. Although Lang County is inconspicuous, Kelang County is part of the garrison of Chang'an City after all.

"King Lin?"

"Do you recognize this king?" Liu Yu sneered, but he didn't entangle with this Tang handle anymore, and he didn't need to ask on the spot, some things were already very clear. Regarding the situation in the tunnel, Liu Yue believed that detailed information would come out soon, and this Tang handle only needed to be strictly interrogated, and he would not be allowed to deny it.

"Whoever is in charge, we ...... Discover a secret room. A guard suddenly ran over in a panic and reported to Liu Yu.

"Secret room?" Liu Yu didn't feel much surprised, and said, "What's in the secret room, gold and silver treasures or firearms and blades?" Or a room full of gunpowder? ”

The horror on the guard's face was by no means fake, and the fact that he saw something that shocked him to such an extent was enough to prove that the "thing" inside was very surprised.

The guard stepped forward and whispered in front of Liu Yu, a few words to be exact, and Liu Yu was stunned on the spot. Liu Yu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

Liu Liniang glanced at Liu Yu curiously, she didn't understand why Liu Yu seemed to be very disdainful of what was in the secret room just now, but now Liu Yu seemed to have been pointed, which was obviously shocked to the extreme.

"Let's go!"

Liu Yu snorted, and immediately took Lian Husheng and Qu Zhu and others, plus the guards, to go down to the tunnel where the secret room was discovered. Liu Liniang hurriedly stopped: "Lord Wang, ...... below." It's too dangerous, so let's get things up......"

"Liniang, come too." Liu Yue smiled bitterly, "Go down and take a look, there are some things, it's okay to take a look." ”

Liu Liniang also frowned suddenly, this thing actually wanted her to go down the secret passage. You must know that the previous explosion of the tunnel has made the surrounding ground unstable, if there is another explosion, the tunnel will collapse directly, and people will be buried underneath.

Liu Yu didn't even care about the danger, so obviously there was something more important than this danger.

Liu Liniang walked down the tunnel together with questions.

As soon as I came, I smelled a musty smell, accompanied by the smell of blood. The tunnels are also very damp, like a dungeon, where there is no daylight, it will always be so dirty.

Liu Liniang covered her mouth and nose, and walked towards the inside of the tunnel with Liu Yu, who was in a hurry, while the first two guards who were holding torches to lead the way walked faster.

Before arriving at the secret room, Liu Liniang felt that it was not like a secret room, but like a prison cell. Outside there was a table with an oil lamp on it, and several people who looked like cell bosses, dead and wounded, were also held on the ground alive. Inside, there was a cage with a wooden fence, and in the cage, there was a man with a dirty face, looking up curiously at what was happening outside, and he was still pulling the ground with a wooden stick in his hand.

It looked like a lost dog. Although people are very dirty, those eyes are very divine, as if in the prison of this suffering dungeon, they can also enjoy suffering and have nothing to worry about.

When Liu Yu saw this person, he couldn't help but smile on his face, there was something else in this smile, Liu Liniang looked at Liu Yu carefully, and two tears actually fell from Liu Yu's face.

This person is none other than Liu Yu's good apprentice and the former emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty, Su Yan. (To be continued......)
