Chapter 108: Underground Tunnel
"Tie your hands and take them?"
Ming Qimeng reacted suddenly, and said secretly, now is not the time to be in a daze, I have to get out quickly. Thinking of turning the horse's head and ignoring the others, he fled as fast as he could towards the mouth of the cave, even ignoring the fact that his horse's hooves kicked over several of his own men one after another.
As soon as Zong Jiyuan saw it, he naturally couldn't let him escape like this, and the long whip shook and threw it out from behind, wrapping around his neck, and then pulling it back, and the dream body was pulled backwards involuntarily.
The long whip was tightened tightly, and Ming Qimeng was strangled out of breath, his face was flushed, and he instinctively grabbed the soft whip wrapped around his neck with his hand.
Seeing that he shouldn't be able to escape, Zong Jiyuan asked,
"Tell me, what the hell is that 'Overlord Village'?!"
“……”
Hearing her mention the words "Overlord Village", Ming Qimeng was obviously stunned, but he was still struggling unwillingly, and he actually freed his right hand and swung his knife to slash at the long whip.
When Zong Jiyuan saw that although his soft whip was specially made, ordinary sharp weapons could not destroy it, but if there was any treasure knife in the thief's hand, wouldn't it damage his beloved long whip, so his wrist trembled slightly, and he saw that the whip body was instantly loosened. And Ming Qimeng kept struggling backwards, and as soon as the whip was released, neither of his hands grasped the reins, and his body flashed, and he actually fell off the horse.
Although the moment he fell, the soft whip in Zong Jiyuan's hand also left his neck, but at this moment, the cave was already in chaos, and several thieves were scurrying around on horseback, and they actually dreamed of the second village master who was just about to get up from the ground, and directly knocked him to the ground. Before he could get up again, two more thieves fled and trampled over him, and the dreamer was trampled to death by the hooves of his own horses.
When Zong Jiyuan rushed forward to check again, where was his life, and those thieves who fled indiscriminately were shot down by the strong crossbow in the hands of Sobra's own soldiers in the next second.
In this way, in the chaos, none of the thieves who tried to escape from this road escaped the net, and all of them were eliminated. After everything in the cave calmed down, Zong Jiyuan also found Wei Xingyin among the corpses of the thieves, this guy was slashed under the horse by Sobra who met him head-on.
Although he couldn't ask what he wanted to know, he felt a little regretful, but after all, they had successfully completed their mission along the way, and Zong Jiyuan was a little relieved.
After counting, six of the officers of the county government were wounded, not serious, but they needed to be bandaged as soon as possible, and only one of Sobra's own soldiers suffered some abrasions, and to everyone's delight, none of them were killed.
Zong Jiyuan asked the wounded people to rush back to the hunting house to treat their wounds, and take a rest, and he and Sobra and Diao Sanlang sorted out their men, rested for a while, and then went down the road in the direction of Pingliang Village.
At this time, the east has begun to turn white, and the shouting and killing in the direction of Pingliang Village has gradually subsided a lot, but there is still thick smoke and fire rolling out. Under the guidance of Zong Jiyuan, the group arrived at the main street at the entrance of the "village" in a short time.
The corpses of the slain thieves could be seen everywhere on the streets, and some officers and soldiers guarding the roadside saw Sobra and hurried over to give their respects.
"Major General!"
"Well, excuse me,"
Sobra looked majestic, and nodded slightly,
"How's it going here?"
"Back to Major General,"
The soldier straightened up and replied earnestly,
"The thieves on the ground have been bulldozed, and the two generals, Lang and Xiang, have entered the crypt to capture the rest of the thieves along with the inner line sent by the Admiral's Mansion."
"The Crypt?"
When Sobra heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
"Where is the location of the crypt?"
"Uh......"
The soldier looked left and right,
"I don't know the specifics, but I just watched them head northwest of the village."
"Then let's go too."
Of course, Sobra was saying this to Zong Jiyuan.
And Zong Jiyuan was concerned about what the soldier just said, "The thieves on the ground have been bulldozed", so how is Miss Li Xiaoyue now? Where is Wang Yu at this time?
When he was doubting himself, he turned his head to look at him, and said,
"Okay, we might as well go over and take a look."
To the northwest, isn't that the direction of the courtyard where Satsuki lives-
While walking over there with everyone, Zong Jiyuan secretly thought to himself in his heart.
The place where Xiaoyue lives is also where You Chunyao's son You Kun lives, so it seems that there must be a secret hidden in that courtyard, just now only Ming Qimeng and Wei Xingyin were blocked, but the two brothers of the Yu family were not seen, could it be that there are other passages......
Sure enough, as they walked forward, the guards gradually increased, until they came to a place that looked like a blacksmith shop from the outside.
"Major General, the entrance to the crypt is in this room."
"Oh, let's go check it out."
Sobra said curiously.
Zong Jiyuan nodded, walked into the house with him, and saw that it was very spacious, and all the tools needed to strike iron were available, but there was no fire in the furnace. Not only that, but there was a five-foot-square hole in the hearth, which looked like the entrance to the crypt that the soldiers had called.
After reading it, Sobra turned back to the general and asked,
"How many people did the two generals Lang and Xiang bring down?"
"There were more than three hundred brothers who went down before and after."
The general replied.
Zong Jiyuan listened, frowned and said,
"In this case, the space down here must be small, and there is a good chance that there are other exits."
"That's right,"
Sobra was also very clever, and immediately understood what she meant, and immediately turned back and commanded,
"Pass my general order that all intersections must be strictly guarded, and this village will be surrounded by me, and not even a mouse will be allowed to run away!"
"Huh!"
The general next to him agreed, turned around and ran out to give the order.
Sokala looked at Zong Jiyuan again and asked,
"Shall we go down and have a look?"
"This place has been discovered, and there are so many people going down, those thieves will definitely not pass back and forth from here again, as long as they are left to guard, we might as well go and see elsewhere."
Zong Jiyuan pondered.
Sobra thought for a moment and felt that she was right, so she nodded,
"Okay, so where are we going?"
"We'll talk about it then."
The two of them returned to the street with their entourage, Zong Jiyuan still couldn't let go of Xiaoyue's side, so he slowly turned to the courtyard not far away, raised his hand and pointed,
"Have you ever checked that house?"
