Chapter 473: Entering the Secret Passage
At night, it is very quiet, and when so many people are gathered in the middle of the night, the movement is naturally very large.
Originally, Xia Zhixue had already slept, but suddenly such a big battle also woke her up.
After getting dressed, Xia Zhixue walked to the door.
When he opened the door and looked at the soldiers outside the room, running briskly in the same direction, doubts flashed in his eyes.
It's so late, why are these garrisons still in such a big battle?
With doubts in her heart, Xia Zhixue also followed those soldiers over.
Following the direction of those soldiers, Xia Zhixue soon saw Ouyang Huaiyu.
At this time, Ouyang Huaiyu changed his usual clothes, and put on armor again, showing his heroic appearance.
After looking at Ouyang Huaiyu in civilian clothes for so long, she suddenly saw Ouyang Huaiyu wearing armor again, and Xia Zhixue was also a little unaccustomed to it.
Xia Zhixue walked to Ouyang Huaiyu's side: "You're so late, what are you doing with the summoners?"
Xia Zhixue looked at the soldiers who were still wearing armor in front of Ouyang Huaiyu and asked suspiciously.
Seeing Xia Zhixue coming suddenly, Ouyang Huaiyu looked at Xia Zhixue apologetically and said, "Did you wake you up?"
Xia Zhixue shook her head: "You haven't told me why you are gathering soldiers around the palace so late?"
Xia Zhixue looked at Ouyang Huaiyu and continued to ask.
But at this time, Ouyang Huaiyu did not answer directly, but looked at Xia Zhixue and said with a smile: "The clue to Luo Licheng's whereabouts has been found."
"What? Got it? A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Zhixue's eyes, and even her mouth opened wide in surprise.
After all, so much time has passed, and it is already very unlikely that Luo Licheng's traces can be found, so after Ouyang Huaiyu said that he found clues about Luo Licheng, Xia Zhixue would be so surprised.
"That's right, you can come with me later." After Ouyang Huaiyu finished speaking, his eyes looked at the team in front of the deputy marshal who was forming a team.
The people were still slowly converging, because he had gathered all the soldiers who were patrolling the palace here.
Soon, everyone was together.
"Come with me." After Ouyang Huaiyu finished speaking, he turned around and led a group of people towards the court hall of the palace.
After passing one step after another, I walked for a long time before I reached the court hall where the ministers were deliberating.
Everyone was standing in front of the dragon chair, and they had to go through some steps to get to the top of the dragon chair.
Ouyang Huaiyu turned his head, looked at Xia Zhixue and said, "You come with me."
Saying that, Ouyang Huaiyu took Xia Zhixue to the dragon chair.
Under the dragon chair, there were gatherings outside, and the deputy marshal was standing aside, looking at the magnificent scene around him, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at the exquisiteness of the palace.
took Xia Zhixue to the side of the dragon chair above the court, Ouyang Huaiyu pressed slightly behind the dragon chair, and suddenly there was a sound around, and soon, a secret passage appeared in the eyes of the two.
I didn't expect there to be a secret passage here!
The secret passage was built behind the dragon chair, and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, and from the entrance of the cave, you could see a lot of dust, but in the middle of the dust there seemed to be a footprint that a person had stepped on. Zero-One Reading Network
Building a secret passage in other places, Xia Zhixue would not be so shocked, but this is above the court!
Under the noses of so many people, he actually built such a big secret passage, and it seems that Luo Licheng also left from here, so Ouyang Huaiyu gathered the troops so late.
Ouyang Huaiyu turned his head, looked at Xia Zhixue and said, "Now that Luo Licheng has disappeared for a while, if he doesn't pursue again, I'm afraid he will really escape without a trace."
Xia Zhixue nodded, indeed, if you don't catch Luo Licheng in a hurry, then the original slight possibility will also disappear.
According to Luo Licheng's thoughts, he will definitely poison the people of the country in the dark, and only by catching Luo Licheng can he feel more at ease.
That is, after Xia Zhixue's idea fell, Xia Zhixue heard a voice coming from her side.
"Pick a small team, follow me in first, and the rest of us are here to prepare." Ouyang Huaiyu looked at the deputy marshal standing below the court and said coldly, this time, he must catch Luo Licheng!
After hearing this, the deputy marshal immediately replied: "Yes!"
Ouyang Huaiyu originally planned to take a small team of people into the tunnel first, to find out the situation inside, and after reaching the end, he would know where it was, and then send someone back to inform the team to rush there.
But this series of plans, Xia Zhixue was not in the plan at all, Xia Zhixue also heard it, so she immediately ran to the front of the secret passage and blocked Ouyang Huaiyu's way: "I'm going too!"
"What danger is here, we still don't know, you wait here with the deputy marshal first, and I'll come and pick you up later." Ouyang Huaiyu looked at Xia Zhixue in front of him and persuaded him, he didn't want Xia Zhixue to go in and take risks.
This secret passage was cultivated by Luo Licheng, and they didn't know if there were any mechanisms in it, if they rashly brought Xia Zhixue in, it might hurt Xia Zhixue
All of this is for Xia Zhixue's consideration, why doesn't Xia Zhixue know?
But she still stopped at the entrance of the cave, looked at Ouyang Huaiyu and said angrily: "If you don't take me, then wait for you to go in, and I'll sneak in alone!"
Ouyang Huaiyu heard this, and suddenly became helpless.
After thinking for a while, Ouyang Huaiyu said again: "You can go in with me, but you can only keep walking in the middle of the line!"
Ouyang Huaiyu also knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless, so Ouyang Huaiyu simply agreed.
Even if there is danger in the secret passage, as long as he walks in front to remove the danger, Xia Zhixue is also safe.
Ouyang Huaiyu thought of this, but sighed helplessly in his heart, his own woman, crying, also want to be spoiled.
And Luo Licheng is now alone, and there is not a single soldier around him, even if there is danger, it is only on the way to the tunnel. I don't know if there are traps, but after going out, he found Luo Licheng, and he was not afraid of how Luo Licheng would hurt Xia Zhixue.
With Ouyang Huaiyu's consent, Xia Zhixue's originally angry little eyes immediately changed, and she immediately looked at Ouyang Huaiyu with a smile.
It is at this time that man is ready.
Before this, the soldiers arranged by Ouyang Huaiyu to prepare torches also arrived at the court.
A total of seven people were arranged, and now the seven people who went to prepare the torches each carried a pile of torches in their arms, and then distributed them to the soldiers who were ready.
Ouyang Huaiyu glanced at the small team that was about to follow him in, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Follow me."
The group soon entered the tunnel, which was pitch black and lacked any light.
Fortunately, at the beginning, Ouyang Huaiyu asked people to prepare torches, so it would not be dark.
Ouyang Huaiyu walked in front of the team, and Xia Zhixue also listened to Ouyang Huaiyu's words and walked in the middle of the team.
However, those soldiers were also interested, and they did not crowd Xia Zhixue too much, but separated some space, so that Xia Zhixue would not feel unhappy, nor would she pull too open.
