Chapter Twenty-Nine: Return to Fengdu Again

This collapsed black hole is bottomless, and I don't know where it leads.

Tang Yun took a stone from the side and threw it down, and after a long time he didn't hear an echo, Ah Qiao was next to him, his face was also pale. Several people knew in their hearts that King Yan was estimated to be more than lucky.

Although the empress left, King Liang did not. At this moment, the prince was surrounded by many hundred horsemen and Ruoshui, his expression was indifferent, and there was no sadness or joy.

It is true that King Liang's biggest opponent in the court is His Royal Highness King Yan who fell into the abyss. At this moment, Tang Yun even considered whether it would be the Liang King's tricks. However, Tang Yun quickly denied this idea, not to mention that this may directly put the empress in danger, once King Yan died, the biggest suspicion still fell on King Liang.

King Liang wouldn't be so stupid.

A fast horse ran over, and a eunuch held the holy decree and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, the internal guards and the guards of the forbidden army must rescue His Royal Highness King Yan as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

The Empress had decreed, and an anxious mood burned in everyone's hearts.

"Haven't you found the rope yet?" Ah Qiao angrily questioned Ruoshui beside him.

A few of them were quick to find ropes from a nearby spice shop that trapped the goods. These ropes are cowhide ropes and are strong and durable.

The rope was tied to a Wakasui body, and she fell down, and several other people grabbed the other side of the rope together and began to stretch down little by little. It's just that the rope has come to an end, but it is no longer possible to get close.

"Not enough rope!" The one below shouted.

"Look for the rope again and put it together!" Ah Qiao ordered.

Soon, Ruoshui found a few more ropes and tied the ends of the ropes into a dead knot, so that the ropes would soon be extended.

"She's almost to the end!" Ah Qiao muttered.

The rope continued to stretch downward, but at this moment, several Ruoshui who were holding the rope suddenly exclaimed, they couldn't control their strength, and fell straight back. That rope, lost the weight of the traction.

Someone cut the rope.

Ah Qiao lay on the edge of the crack and said angrily: "Release the rocket!" ”

"Captain, there's still someone down there!"

"Listen to my orders and release the arrows!"

The strong bow held by Ruoshui was covered with an oilcloth on the iron head of the arrow, and the flame could always burn after it was ignited. They stood next to the rift, firing several arrows downward.

There was a flash of fire in the air, and with the help of this firelight, a figure could be seen shaking under the rift.

There's someone down there!

"The assassins are down here, you quickly find enough rope, let's go down from here!" Ah Qiao shouted loudly.

With the help of that firelight, Tang Yun could clearly see a structure similar to the eaves, this structure he had seen, that was built in the ghost city of Fengdu, all the imitations of the houses of the Shendu.

They wanted to build a secret god's capital, so they built a dark city underneath the ground.

There must be someone lying in ambush under this rift, and you don't have to guess to know that they are the dead soldiers responsible for the broken end. Since these people didn't catch the empress, catching King Yan was also a huge gain.

Tang Yun didn't stay here any longer, he relied on the route in his memory, found a fast horse, and rushed to Nanshi. Now, I can only hope that the entrance to the ghost town is not closed.

Between the North and South markets, there is a Luo River, and there is only a spacious bridge connecting the two places.

This bridge is very prosperous on weekdays, but today is the day when the water and land puja of Longchen Temple is held, and the gods are almost to the point of empty alleys. It's also a little deserted compared to usual.

"Get out of the way!"

Tang Yun shouted as he raised his horsewhip, and walked quickly towards Nanshi with one person and one horse.

Tang Yun's target was Yongtaifang, next to Nanshi, and as soon as he entered the alley, he could smell the familiar smell of livestock. There are many people from the Western Regions living here, Tang Yun turned a street corner and happened to see the restaurant hidden in the alley.

The restaurant seems to be closing, and there is a guy outside cleaning up.

The guy saw Tang Yun, and then caught a glimpse of the embroidered python brocade on Tang Yun's body, his eyes were wide open, and he turned around and was about to close the door.

Of course, Tang Yun wouldn't give him this opportunity, so he pulled out the tiger head knife and threw it at the guy. The tiger head knife arced through the air, and pinned the man's hand to the edge of the door frame.

"Ahh My hands are gone! The guy let out a heart-rending scream.

Tang Yunsan ran forward in two steps, pulled the knife out of his palm, grabbed the man's head, and kicked him into the restaurant. The guy staggered and fell to the ground.

"Drink! Death! ”

As soon as Tang Yun stepped into the first floor of the restaurant, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and saw the shopkeeper holding a long knife in his hand, and slashed at Tang Yun.

Tang Yun turned around to dodge the shopkeeper's knife, grabbed the shopkeeper's arm with one hand, and twisted it in the opposite direction. The shopkeeper screamed, his arms clicked, his head was full of cold sweat, and he was convulsed in pain.

At this moment, the guy on the other side also got up from the ground, picked up a stool from the side, and slapped it at Tang Yun.

Tang Yun twisted the shopkeeper in front of him, and the shopkeeper's forehead collided violently with the stool, and he was directly knocked out of blood by the stool. The shopkeeper wailed and was pushed away by Tang Yun.

A hint of panic finally flashed in the man's eyes, and he wanted to escape, but Tang Yun hooked a stool with his foot and kicked at the guy.

The guy was hit by a stool, Tang Yun rushed behind him, and the knife in his palm cut directly, and the blood rushed wildly, and the guy fell to the ground weakly.

Squeak –

The door to the tavern was pushed open, and the shopkeeper faltered, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape.

Tang Yun strode over, grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, and dragged him back from the door. The shopkeeper's forehead was full of blood, his eyes were a little white, and he was even a little delirious.

Tang Yun said coldly: "If it doesn't end up like him, just tell me, did you do it in Beishi?" ”

A sneer appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and he looked at Tang Yun with a smile: "You...... It's late!"

Tang Yun noticed a flash of determination in the shopkeeper's eyes, and the shopkeeper suddenly poked out his head and slammed directly into Tang Yun's knife. The sharp blade directly cut through the neck of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper covered the neck of the blood gushing, opened his mouth, and finally fell to the ground weakly.

Tang Yun took a deep breath and came directly to the backyard of the restaurant.

There is a warehouse in the backyard dedicated to storing wine, and you can smell the intoxicating aroma of wine from a distance.

The passage, which was originally hidden under a jug, appears to have been nailed with wooden planks and topped with masonry. However, the cement here seems to have just been pasted, and the place is dark and damp, so the cement does not dry out immediately.

Tang Yun lifted the masonry open, and then found a hammer from nearby and smashed the plank, finally revealing the passage.

The dark passage leads to no one. Tang Yun didn't hesitate and went straight into the passage. The planks underneath began to slide, and the passage didn't seem to be treated in any way.

The evacuation of these people was really urgent, and I am afraid that when the incident began, the people behind it did not notify them, but waited for the matter to be completed.

Tang Yun thought in his heart, and suddenly a glimmer of light appeared in front of him, and it turned out that he had reached the end of the passage.

Call!

Tang Yun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he hurriedly used his two hands to support the stone walls of the passage around him, but the speed of falling was too fast, and the wooden plank under the seat was very smooth, and he couldn't stop at all.

Under the passage, there should have been a lot of quilts. But now all those buffers are gone!

Tang Yun fell directly from that height, and there was a thatched hut below, Tang Yun fell from above, and landed heavily on the top of the thatched hut. Those houses made of rudimentary thatch and mud could not bear Tang Yun's weight at all, and the roof collapsed directly.

Tang Yun fell heavily to the ground, his nose was filled with a bloody breath, and he felt that his limbs seemed to be numb and unable to move.

However, the people around here seem to have disappeared, and the noise that is happening here is not noticed by others.

Tang Yun was relieved for about a long time, he struggled to get up from the ground, and only felt that there was no place in his body that didn't hurt.

He had fallen a high distance, but fortunately there was a dilapidated thatched roof as a cushion that removed most of the gravity.

Tang Yun held a knife in his hand, and his whole person was hidden in the dark, walking down a long corridor and going deeper. When he came, he saw a lot of people around here, but now, the whole underground seemed to fall into dead silence.

Tang Yun came to the towering stone pillar, he climbed up the ladder, and there was a torch in the room on the stone pillar, which emitted light.

Tang Yun pulled out the knife and opened the hidden door with his other hand. The moment the door opened, it was pressed against the man's neck.

"Open the floodgates!" Tang Yun said sharply.

The man didn't respond, Tang Yun felt something unusual, he turned the man around, this gatekeeper was dead.

Tang Yun climbed down from the stone pillar, found the mechanism, and the gate slowly opened.

The entire ghost city of Fengdu was plunged into darkness, Tang Yun walked all the way over, passing by the gambling hall and the Qinglou people went to the empty building, and the entire city seemed to fall into a dead silence.

Could it be that the people in the entire ghost town of Fengdu have all left.

Is it really worth exchanging such a city for a Yan King?

King Yan is not the empress, he is dead, the empress is still in power, and King Liang also has one less rival to compete. But the ghost town of Fengdu is gone, which is definitely a major loss for the forces behind it.

There is only one possibility, the group of people behind them, they want to kill the empress, but they inadvertently captured King Yan.

They will definitely be unwilling, Fengdu Ghost City is such a big force, if they want to transfer, they need enough time.

In the quiet alley, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves. Far and near, it gradually came.

Tang Yun rushed to the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from, and there was a horse that ran to Tang Yun's side alone.

There was a man lying on the horse.

This person's back was covered with blood, and blood kept spilling from his mouth, his eyes looked at Tang Yun, and suddenly there was a glimmer of hope. With trembling fingers, he pointed to the northwest of the ghost city of Fengdu.
