Chapter 355: The Mechanism in the Chamber of Secrets
4 Han Mo whispered to Xue Shao, then gently patted Xue Shao's arm, bowed his arm, and did not say anything to He Xuezhi, did not say hello, and left by himself. (.)
Han Mo returned to the pavilion with a smile, sat down, and drank a glass of wine with a smile on his face before asking softly, "Shibo, do you know who sent someone to set the fire?" ”
He Xuezhi had regained his composure at this time, squinted his small eyes and said, "Don't hide it from my nephew, I really want to know who is so bold." ”
Han Mo looked at He Xuezhi mysteriously, and did not speak for a while, He Xuezhi also squinted at Han Mo, and the two looked at each other, and the light flashed in their eyes.
After a long time, Han Mo sighed and said, "It's a pity...... Shibo won't know! ”
He Xuezhi frowned and said lightly: "Is the nephew unwilling to tell me?" It's okay, it's your Imperial Army, and I don't know too much. ”
Han Mo shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but ...... I don't know. There are a total of eight people who infiltrated Miku tonight, and all of them have ...... Death! ”
He Xuezhi's body trembled slightly, but in an instant, the worry hidden in the depths of his eyes disappeared, since they were all dead, although they failed to complete the plan as they wished, they would not be in a desperate situation.
There is no living mouth, no witness, even if Han Mo is sure that he did it, then he can't do anything with himself.
With joy in disappointment, He Xuezhi's originally extremely ugly expression looked a lot better, and sighed: "All dead? It's a shame. So how do you know who's behind it? Seeing Han Mo staring at him, he said calmly: "It seems that it is a spy from an enemy country who wants to cause **, so he sent someone to burn grain." ”
Han Mo smiled and said, "I don't know who is behind the scenes, but it may not be for food, but it may be for me." Merely...... Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of catties of grain in exchange for the opportunity to rectify me is too great. ”
He Xuezhi smiled dryly: "The nephew said that he was laughing. Since there is something going on over there, I won't leave a nephew, so it's important for you to go back and deal with official business! ”
Han Mo shook his head and said, "The matter has already happened, I will go back now, it will be useless." Pointing to the wine and food on the table, he said with a smile: "What's more, the wine and food here are not exhausted, and I haven't eaten enough. Shibo won't want to drive me out of the house, will he? ”
He Xuezhi smiled faintly: "In that case, you and I continue to drink!" ”
Han Mo was stained with wine and raised his lamp, but he was thinking in his heart: "How is Li Gu's situation now?" ”
……
……
Li Gu and Wu Hai were now in the underground secret room, which was an extremely narrow passage, pitch black, without a trace of light, and the two of them were completely relying on their senses, carefully groping forward.
The two of them leaned against the wall of the passage one on the left and one on the right, and gradually walked into the depths of the secret room in tacit understanding.
They knew that there was a mechanism in this secret room, so they were cautious and cautious every step they took, and they didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and in this secret room, there were four suspected purple-clothed guards who had entered before, so they didn't dare to be careless.
After groping forward for a distance, Li Gu smelled a ** smell that was not strong but extremely clear and penetrated into his nose, he clenched the dagger, knowing that Wuhai on the other side was also fully prepared.
After only a few steps forward, he touched something under his feet, Li Gu suddenly froze his body, did not move easily, but gently probed with his toes, just probed, and immediately knew that there was a corpse lying on the ground.
He didn't know who this corpse was, but he had some judgment in his heart, if what he thought was correct, he was afraid that it was the purple guard who came in earlier and was killed here when he encountered a trap.
It was pitch black, and they couldn't see where the mechanism was, let alone whether the mechanism had been completely touched and lost its effect, so the two of them fixed their minds and continued to grope forward with their previous experience.
Soon, they came across a second corpse, still lying on the ground, motionless, and the strong ** smell indicated that this person should have also died of the trap.
Li Gu was a little lucky, it was pitch black here, and there was no trace of the mechanism, if it wasn't for these guys to explore the way first, he was afraid that he might die.
Vaguely, I suddenly saw a faint fire in front of me, although it was not very bright, but it was like a bright light in the night, which made the originally oppressive underground secret room show a trace of vitality.
Seeing the firelight, the two of them were even more careful, and the front gradually became cheerful, and it didn't take long for a circular room to appear in front of them, which was very empty, only a stone platform in the middle of the room was in the middle of the direction, and on the stone platform, an iron box was placed.
Li Gu looked from afar, and saw that next to the stone platform, there was still a corpse lying there, with several iron darts inserted in his chest, and naturally he was also killed by the mechanism.
A total of four purple-clothed guards came in, the third brother of feed, and the last one, at this time, was standing on the side of the stone platform, facing the narrow passage where Li Gu and the two were located, with one hand propped up on the stone platform, although there was a faint fire, but the distance was too far, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
In the small round room, there were oil lamps on the walls, and the two oil lamps hung one on the left and one on the right, and the glowing lights were like ghost fires under hell.
At this time, Li Gu and Wu Hai could see each other clearly, both of them frowned slightly, and did not act rashly, but the two of them had some doubts in their hearts, looking at the appearance of the standing purple-clothed guard, the alertness seemed to be too poor, and it really insulted the reputation of the dark officials.
The Way of Darkness is privately recognized as the strongest institution of the Black Flag as the Way of Darkness, with the West Flower Hall in the center and the Purple Guards at the end.
Of course, this is because Qingguo's national character is more cowardly, and it is more important, because Emperor Qingguo does not want such a dark organization to be controlled by a certain person, so the dark leader is always changing, and the commander of the purple guard who took office ranks second in ability, and the most important thing is to be liked by Emperor Qing and trusted by Emperor Qing.
Because of this, the ability of the Purple Guard's commander has not been regarded as a top person in the dark, in the early days of its establishment, the Purple Guard had several extremely capable commanders before and after, but the later it was, the more unseemly, the so-called soldiers instigated one, and they would be instigated, without a top dark leader, there would naturally be no powerful dark officials.
Ziyiwei may be the one with the largest staffing among the three dark institutions, but its ability is much weaker than the other two major institutions.
Of course, after all, it is a dark organization, and compared to ordinary spies, Ziyi Wei is much stronger.
On the other hand, Wei State, since the retirement of the first Black Shadow position, in the next ten years, the highest position of the Black Flag, the Black Shadow has always been held by Du Wufeng, as stable as Mount Tai, and it has won the trust of Emperor Wei, although the West Flower Hall under the leadership of Xue Gongyan and the Purple Guards have carried out a strong counterattack against them, and the loss is not light, but because of Du Wufeng's existence, the Black Flag is still the strongest dark institution in the world.
As for Yan Guo, a generation of dark master Xue Gongyan does not need to mention, in his hands, the West Flower Hall has reached its peak, even after his death, Yan Guo still has a strong East Flower Hall to replace the West Flower Hall, and the director of the East Flower Hall is the elusive Princess Xiu, which is also a generation of dark wizards, so although the dark institutions of Yan Kingdom have changed, the supreme commanders are all powerful figures, and the foundation of the dark institutions of Yan Kingdom has not been weakened, and they are still very strong.
……
Li Gu and Wu Hai were silent, time passed, and the two knew that they couldn't delay too long in this kind of place, and they were thinking about how to solve the purple-clothed guard.
But it was quite strange to see that the purple-clothed guard had not moved for a long time.
According to the dark rules, even if the companion dies, as long as one person is alive, he must do his best to complete the task, and on the premise of ensuring that the identity is not revealed, he can completely ignore the corpse of the companion, although it is cruel, but the fate of the dark person is cruel.
The iron box on the stone platform, if you didn't guess wrong, what everyone wanted was there, but why didn't this purple-clothed guard do it for a long time.
Wu Hai was puzzled, he frowned, looked at Li Gu, but saw that Li Gu had already walked out of the narrow passage and entered the secret room, Wu Hai did not hesitate, turned his back to Li Gu, and slowly retreated into the secret room, which was a defense with Li Gu.
Li Gu and Wu Hai entered the secret room, and the purple-clothed guard still did not react, at this time Li Gu already knew that the standing purple-clothed guard was afraid that he was already dead.
He walked slowly to the stone platform, glanced at the purple-clothed guard, and his stomach churned, and he almost vomited.
I saw that the face that the name thought was only a skeleton, and there was no flesh and skin, but because he was covered with his face, he was far away, and he didn't see it.
Li Gu looked at his hand on the stone platform, and there were only dry bones left, without a trace of flesh and skin.
This guy is only a skeleton!
"What a poisonous mechanism!" Li Gu couldn't help but say softly, he had seen many strange things, but such a cruel scene was very rare.
It didn't take long for this group of people to come in, and the other three purple-clothed guards died in the mechanism, but this purple-clothed guard turned into dry bones in a short period of time, which shows how vicious the mechanism he was in.
The two of them looked around, trying to find out what the mechanism was, but this secret room looked unremarkable, except for the stone platform, it was empty, and there was nothing special about it.
"Pick up something and go!" Wu Hai said softly.
He stretched out his hand and went to take the iron box, and just as his hand was about to touch it, he seemed to think of something, took out the dagger, and lightly touched it on the iron box, and heard the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu", and in the stone platform, several iron darts were shot out of nowhere.
Fortunately, both of them were on guard, their bodies flashed back, and they rolled to the ground, and the iron darts immediately hit the wall, deep into it.
"Sure enough, there is a mechanism!" Wu Hai said in a deep voice, he now knew that the guy who fell to the ground and died of a dart must have easily touched the iron box.
As soon as Wu Hai got up, he was about to go to get the iron box, and Li Gu had already whispered: "Be careful and there are still mechanisms!" ”
Wu Hai nodded, touched the iron box with the dagger again, and another burst of iron darts came out, and the two dodged again, so repeatedly, three times, after three rounds of iron darts, Wu Hai touched the iron box again, and no more iron darts shot out.
Wu Hai carefully tapped it again, making sure that the iron darts in the stone platform were all gone, and then he reached out and picked up the iron box.
Li Gu saw Wu Hai pick up the iron box, his expression changed greatly, he shot like electricity, holding a dagger in his left hand, and slashed straight down at Wu Hai's shoulder, Wu Hai was caught off guard, he didn't expect Li Gu to suddenly make a move, when he was shocked, Li Gu's dagger had already cut off one of his arms shoulder to shoulder, and the arm fell to the ground with the iron box, and Wu Hai's shoulder suddenly spurted blood, which was extremely terrifying.
