The Qin army that was climbing up the hillside was getting closer and closer, looking at the Qin army who was climbing up the hillside, the nervous palms of more than a dozen Yuan Shu soldiers were covered with beads of sweat.

"Take him down the mountain!" Seeing that the Qin army had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, the guards with the most ideas whispered to the others.

More than a dozen guards nodded their heads, and two of them grabbed Yuan Shu and pushed him down the hill.

Yuan Shu didn't expect that it would be his former guards who captured him.

His close guards have always been superior in the Huainan army, whether in Shouchun City or other places in Huainan, as long as they are his guards, they can run rampant, even if they kill someone, they don't need to pay for their lives.

In the past, Yuan Shu only knew that those who followed him would be taken care of by a higher level than others, but he never thought that the more this was the case, the more the guards would become selfish because of his connivance and arrogance.

Originally, he expected these more than ten guards to send him out of Xiangling and escape from the Qin army's search, but Yuan Shu didn't expect that the people who finally captured him turned out to be the people he relied on.

Escorting Yuan Shu all the way down the hillside, a group of Qin soldiers walked up head-on.

"General, discover the Huainan Army!" Qin Jun, who was climbing towards the top of the mountain, saw Yuan Shu walking towards them surrounded by a group of Huainan troops, and hurriedly drew his sword from his waist, and one of them raised his hand to point at Yuan Shu and the others, and shouted.

It was Zhou Cang who led this group of Qin troops up the mountain to search for Yuan Shu.

Hearing someone shouting that the Huainan Army had been discovered, Zhou Cang, who was not far from them, hurriedly ran over with two soldiers and two soldiers.

Qin Jun drew his sword, and just waited for Zhou Cang's order to go forward and kill Yuan Shu and the others.

Seeing that Qin Jun drew his sword, one of Yuan Shu's guards hurriedly shouted: "Don't do it, I will capture Yuan Shu and come to dedicate it to King Qin!" ”

As soon as he ran to the nearby Zhou Cang, he heard the shouts of the guards, and hurriedly waved his hand at the soldiers of the Qin army who drew their long swords and shouted, "Don't do anything!" ”

"Where is Yuan Shu?" Stopping the soldiers of the Qin army, Zhou Cang ran to the position where he met Yuan Shu and the others head-on, and shouted at the group of guards.

Seeing that Qin Jun had inserted the long swords back into the scabbard one by one, more than a dozen Yuan Shu's guards pushed him and walked towards Zhou Cang and the others.

When they arrived at a place where they were only five or six steps away from Zhou Cang and the others, the most shrewd guard bowed to Zhou Cang with his fists and said, "General, the one who is bound by us is Yuan Shu!" ”

The guard said that the person who was bound was Yuan Shu, Zhou Cang turned his head to look at Yuan Shu, looked at him from head to toe, and then waved his hand to the two Qin soldiers behind him and said, "Take Yuan Shu down!" ”

The two guards answered, stepped forward to twist Yuan Shu, and escorted him to Zhou Cang.

Yuan Shu was picked up by the Qin army, more than a dozen guards glanced at each other one by one, and the most shrewd guard bowed to Zhou Cang with his fists and said: "General, I sent Yuan Shu, even if there is no merit, it is a bit of hard work, can the general let me wait for a way out?" ”

The two Qin soldiers escorted Yuan Shu to Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang looked Yuan Shu up and down before saying to those Qin soldiers: "You don't just have hard work, you also have merit!" After capturing Yuan Shu, His Royal Highness has his own reward, and he still returns to Shouchun with General Ben to speak. ”

When Zhou Cang said this, it wasn't until the guards who were still worried in their hearts just now that they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.

"Return to Shouchun!" After capturing Yuan Shu, Zhou Cang waved his hand to the Qin army who had come with him to search the mountain and gave the order to return to Shouchun.

The news of Yuan Shu's capture quickly spread back to Shouchun City, and even Lu Bu and other generals who went out of the city to search also got the news.

I thought that capturing Yuan Shu would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, and Lu Bu and the others were also relieved after getting the news.

Liu Wei crusaded against Huainan, although he had the intention of occupying Huainan, but the most fundamental reason was to capture Yuan Shu and kill him, in addition to avenging Yang Feng, he also had the consideration that let the world's heroes know that daring to turn his back on the Han family was the only way to die.

Capturing Yuan Shu, the Qin army's movement is not small, at the foot of the Lingling Mountain, there are cavalry of the Qin army who are galloping on horseback and shouting loudly "Yuan Shu has been captured".

At the same time that Yuan Shu was captured, Deng Zhan led the dragon cavalry guard to still be in the dark passage.

Holding a torch, Deng Zhan, who was walking in the front, soon found that halfway through the dark passage, there were two forks in the road.

At a glance, the two forks in front of me are dark and swarthy, and it is impossible to see where the exit is.

Looking at the two forks in the road in front of him, Deng Zhan said to Huang Sheng who followed behind him: "Huang Sheng, General Ben leads a team of soldiers and horses to the left side, and you lead a team of soldiers and horses to the right side." Don't let that Yuan Shu escape from under our noses! ”

"General rest assured!" Holding a torch in his hand, Huang Sheng had no way to salute Deng Zhan, so he had to answer.

Nodding to Huang Sheng, Deng Zhan waved behind him and shouted, "Half of the people, come with General Ben!" ”

Divided into two ways with Huang Sheng, Deng Zhan held a torch and walked at the front of the team.

The further he went, the more he felt that something was not quite right.

Although the dark passage in front of it is getting wider and wider, I can't even feel the slightest wind.

If there is an exit ahead, at least there will be wind pouring into the tunnel.

Yuan Shu and the others fled in a hurry, and after leaving the dark passage, it must have been too late to seal the secret passage, and there was no wind, which could only mean that there was a dead end ahead.

I wanted to lead the dragoon guard behind me to turn back, but the increasingly wide secret passage in front of him made Deng Zhan give up his plan.

As he was walking forward, Deng Zhan vaguely saw that there seemed to be a fire in front of him.

The reason why it is said to be the light of the fire and not the light of the sun is because the light that appears in front of us is a small point of light.

Although the distance was very far, Deng Zhan could see that the light was evenly distributed, and there was a point of light at intervals, which did not look like someone was in front of him, but more like a candle hanging on the wall in front of him.

Seeing the point of light, Deng Zhan was even more sure of what was ahead of him, he waved to the dragoon guards behind him, didn't say anything, but his pace sped up a lot.

Deng Zhan's pace quickened, and the more than two hundred dragoon guards who followed him also increased their speed.

Getting closer and closer to those points of light, Deng Zhan could already see that what was shining was an oil lamp hanging on the wall.

There is still a lot of lamp oil in the oil lamp, and the dancing flames are burning, although it cannot illuminate the entire dark passage, it can also point out the way forward for Deng Zhan and others.

"Extinguish the torch!" When he arrived at the oil lamp at the front, Deng Zhan gave an order behind him and took the lead in extinguishing the torch.

The dragoons who followed him also extinguished their torches one after another and walked quickly towards the front of the dark passage.

After walking along the passage where the oil lamps were lit for a while, Deng Zhan suddenly raised his arm and stopped the dagoon guards from advancing.

In front of his eyes, two huge stone doors appeared.

The surface of the stone door is smooth, and between the two stone doors, there is only a long gap, which can be vaguely discerned that this is a door and not a flat stone.

Looking at the stone gate blocking the way, Deng Zhan's brows tightened.

He first looked around at the walls on both sides, and then looked up at the top of the dark passage, and found nothing unusual, before beckoning behind him and saying, "Push the stone door open!" ”

After receiving Deng Zhan's order, several dragoon guards responded to the order, ran quickly to the stone gate, and pushed up the closed stone gate.

"General, you can't push it!" Several dragoon guards worked together, but Shimen still didn't move, and after a few pushes, one of the dragoons turned around and shouted to Deng Zhan.

"Go up and help!" Hearing that he couldn't push it, Deng Zhan shouted behind him again.

More dragoons immediately ran forward, joining the dragoons who had pushed the door earlier.

The number of dragoons had increased by two or three times, but the stone gate still did not move, as if it had taken root in the soil.

Looking at the dragoon guards who used all their strength, but couldn't even shake the stone gate, Deng Zhan frowned tightly, and shouted to them: "Be careful, this general will try!" ”

After Deng Zhan's order, the dragoon guards who pushed the stone gate took a few steps back, took off their shields from their backs one by one, and blocked them in front of them to prevent possible accidents.

Not only did these dragoon guards take off their shields, but those dragoon guards who did not step forward to push the stone gate also took off their shields and blocked them in front of them, but their eyes looked at Deng Zhan without blinking.

Seeing that the dragoon guards were ready to take precautions, Deng Zhan strode to the stone gate and stretched out his hand to grope on the stone slab.

After fumbling for a while, Deng Zhan felt a finger touch a bulge.

Pressing his finger on the bulge, Deng Zhan hesitated.

This bump feels a little soft to the touch, and you should be able to press it down with a gentle press down.

Although he doesn't know much about the organs, Deng Zhan knows that many of the organs are opened in inconspicuous places.

From the outside, if you don't distinguish it carefully, the color of this raised spot is almost the same as that of the stone gate, and it is not easy to find its existence just by looking at it.

Deng Zhan believed that as long as he pressed this bulge, either the stone door would open in response, or ten thousand arrows would be fired in the dark passage, and he and the dragoons who came here with him would all be shot into hedgehogs.

"General, I'll do it anyway!" Seeing Deng Zhan's hesitation, a dragoon guard officer walked up to him and whispered.

Glancing at the officer, Deng Zhan shook his head, waved his hand at him, and whispered: "Let the soldiers be alert, maybe press here, and there will be ten thousand arrows in the secret passage!" ”

"General......" Deng Zhan was reluctant to let the officer replace him, the officer held his fists and wanted to say something more, but Deng Zhan raised his hand to stop him.

"Be careful!" reminded the dragoon guards present again, Deng Zhan finally relented and pressed the bulge on the stone door hard.
