Chapter 336: Mysterious Ancestral Hall
"Chic, you and Xiaoli are waiting for us here." Zi Yang looked at Qinhan Village in the distance and said.
"Why don't you take us? I'm going too! Xiaoli hugged Lao Wang's arm and didn't let go, for fear that he would never come back.
On the way back to Qinhan Village, Lao Wang added fuel and vinegar to his experience of "drowning" in the water, emphasizing how righteous and awe-inspiring he was at the moment when the oxygen ran out, and how he regarded death as home...... After a period of fanciful description, Lao Wang successfully established a glorious heroic image in the eyes of everyone.
"Really? Is that so? Xiaoli opened her two big eyes and asked Ziyang and Su Rui.
Zi Yang and Su Rui had to nod helplessly.
Don't say it, girls really eat this set, when Xiaoli looked at Lao Wang again, her eyes had already turned into stars.
Now that I heard that Lao Wang was going to "sacrifice his life to die" again, Xiaoli said that she would follow her to the end of the world together.
Zi Yang shook her head, this simple little girl really didn't know how to write the word "death".
"Comrade Xiaoli, you also have an important task here." Zi Yang comforted us: "You have to help us guard Sharma." β
"Huh? I? I've surrendered, I'm on the same side as you! Sharma panicked.
"This is also for your good, now Wang Yangming and they think you are dead, if you appear in Qinhan Village at this time and are seen by the Gurkha mercenaries, your family will be in danger." Su Rui said comfortingly.
Sharma suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes!" Then I'll stay here and not leave. β
"In order to prevent you from rebelling again, we have to wronged you." Zi Yang took out a rope and gave Brother Chic a look.
The dashing brother understood, and pressed Sharma to the ground and tied it up.
Probably because the attack was too heavy, the painful Sharma kept begging for mercy: "Hey, little brother, you are light, we are a group of ......"
Brother Chic didn't dare to be careless, he still remembered how much he suffered when he was captured in the woods, and Sharma didn't take him lightly at that time.
"Hey, don't say it, Brother Chic's hand binding technique is quite exciting, don't you think Lao Xia is quite sexy when he is tied up like this?" Lao Wang said with a grin beside him.
Brother Chic's face flushed: "You ...... Be careful. β
After getting rid of the three "troubles", Ziyang and the others quietly went to Qinhan Village, and when they arrived outside the village, Wang Juan suddenly stopped, and everyone knew that she had sensed the Gurkha mercenary.
Wang Juan pointed to a house at the top of the hill and said, "There are a few people gathered in that house, but they are too far apart, and the terrain is more complicated, I can't see how many people there are, so I have to get closer." β
Jin Guoqiang looked at the people around him, Xiao Hei naturally didn't need to say that he was strong, plus himself, Ziyang and Lao Wang, the four of them were the main force of the attack, and Su Rui could take care of Wang Juan. In terms of weapons, in addition to a few dog-legged scimitars, they also had pistols captured from the Gurkha mercenaries, and the three that Ziyang had brought under the water had already been discarded during the flight, and now there were three left.
Jin Guoqiang assigned a pistol to Ziyang and Lao Wang, and everyone lowered their bodies and slowly approached forward. Seeing that the outline of the building was getting clearer and clearer, Zi Yang suddenly had a familiar feeling in his heart, wasn't this the house of the village chief Qin Xianghe?
When they reached a place only a few dozen meters from the house, the team stopped.
"There were two people in there." Wang Juan said.
"No, I saw thirteen people entering the village before, why are there only two left, and what about the others?" Jin Guoqiang said with a frown.
Wang Juan closed her eyes and meditated carefully and said, "That's right, there are only two peopleβat least there are no others within a few hundred meters around. β
Jin Guoqiang nodded: "Others may have gone out to investigate, let's solve these two first."
When he came to Qinhan Village last year to investigate the mysterious incident, Jin Guoqiang inspected all the buildings in the village, and specially went to the village chief's house to be a "guest", and was familiar with Qin Xianghe's structure in the house.
"This house is much taller than the other buildings in the village, with a separate courtyard and a two-story house, with three rooms on the ground floor, and according to Wang Juan's description, two mercenaries are standing diagonally in the leftmost house."
Jin Guoqiang used two stones to represent the two mercenaries on the ground, and then said to Zi Yang: "These two sides are exactly where the windows are, I am in a group with Lao Wang, Zi Yang and Xiao Hei are in a group, let's outflank them from the left and right respectively, and wait for the two to be subdued." It is not known where the other mercenaries are, so be careful to act covertly and do not shoot unless you are forced to do so. We want to act consistently, and in order to facilitate communication, I will teach you a few simple sets of tactical gestures. β
Jin Guoqiang stretched out his hand and made a few sets of gestures, explained while talking, and then asked Ziyang: "Do you remember clearly?" β
Ziyang nodded.
"Okay, let's go!"
The two groups of people took advantage of the dense vegetation in the village and quietly outflanked them in two ways.
Zi Yang and Xiao Hei quietly touched the back of the house, and poked out half of the window to look inside the house. Wang Juan's sensing was very accurate, and a mercenary was standing opposite, his face facing the door.
If that's right, there must be another mercenary standing next to their window.
Jin Guoqiang's head also poked out from behind the opposite window, and stretched out two fingers to gesture with Ziyang.
Ziyang panicked, what do you mean? I haven't taught this gesture before!
Jin Guoqiang gestured a few more times. Zi Yang was completely confused, and said that a gesture represents a meaning, what does it mean for you to compare a set of combination punches?
When he was hesitating, Xiao Hei had already pushed open the window and jumped in, Zi Yang was startled, and hurriedly raised the gun in his hand and pointed to the opposite side.
The Gurkha mercenary saw a black shadow suddenly jump in, the mp5 in his hand was horizontal, and he just wanted to pull the trigger, but suddenly a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out behind his back, grabbed his neck and twisted it, "click", the mercenary fell to the ground softly, and he didn't understand where these hands came out until he died.
Jin Guoqiang twisted the neck of the Gurkha mercenary, jumped into the house with a bow, and searched the other rooms with a gun in hand.
Zi Yang climbed through the window and climbed into the house, and saw that Xiao Hei had already finished the Gurkha mercenary next to him - the man was knocked unconscious before he could touch the gun with both hands.
At this time, Lao Wang kicked the door open with a bang, held his gun in both hands and shouted: "Don't move, all raise your hands." β
Several people in the room stared at him like they were looking at him.
"Am I late? The battle is over? Lao Wang asked in a daze.
"Go and bring Wang Juan and the others here, it's safe here." Jin Guoqiang instructed Lao Wang Dao to unload the submachine gun of the Gurkha mercenary and carry it on his back.
Zi Yang tied the unconscious mercenary's hands behind his back, retrieved a roll of tape from his backpack, and circled his mouth a few times.
"You come here and have a look." Jin Guoqiang said to Ziyang.
Zi Yang and Jin Guoqiang entered another room, and saw a big hole in the ground, and a table was poured next to it, Zi Yang was nervous, and hurriedly pointed the muzzle of the gun at the hole.
After a while, Su Rui and Wang Juan also walked in, and they were also taken aback when they saw the hole in the house.
The diameter of this hole is less than one meter, and there is a circle of green bricks on the side, and judging by the smoothness of the edge of the green bricks, there should be people who often climb in and out.
"This hole is hidden under this cabinet, and we haven't even found it before." Jin Guoqiang looked at the bulky wooden cabinet next to him and said.
Found such a hidden hole in the house of village chief Qin Xianghe, Ziyang understood what was going on with a little bit of brain.
"This should be the secret exit of the dungeon."
Jin Guoqiang looked at Wang Juan and said, "Can you sense something?" β
Wang Juan shook her head.
Su Rui took off the tactical flashlight from the mercenary and shone it into the cave, there were several pits dug on both sides of the cave wall, which seemed to be a place for people to climb up and down, and a few meters below was the bare bottom of the cave, and there seemed to be a passage next to it.
Jin Guoqiang took a deep breath, "I'll go down and reconnoitre!" β
Jin Guoqiang hung the submachine gun on his chest, stepped on the pit on the wall of the cave and carefully drilled down, after reaching the bottom of the cave, he bowed his waist and entered the passage next to him, and after a while, the probe came out and shouted: "Ziyang, you take Wang Juan down." β
Zi Yang handed the submachine gun to Lao Wang, "Look at the fainting mercenary, it's handed over to you." β
Ziyang and Wang Juan climbed down from the pit one after another, and sure enough, there was a passage more than one meter high next to the bottom of the pit, and after bending down and walking a few meters inside, a circular stone chamber appeared in front of them, and a hole appeared in the middle of the stone chamber, and a huge stone plate was placed next to it.
On one side of the stone chamber there is a huge offering table, which is densely packed with wooden tablets, on which are carved with several rows of characters in small seals. A thick candle was placed on each side of the offering table, and Jin Guoqiang lit the candle, and the stone room became bright.
Su Rui also climbed down from above, and after seeing the scene inside, he glanced at Ziyang, and the two knew that the tablet on the table should be the heirs of the Qin army, and this must be the place where Qin Xianghe paid tribute to his ancestors.
The hole in the center of the stone chamber should be the secret passage to the underground palace. The extremely heavy stone plate should be the sealing stone pressed on the entrance of the cave, and now the sealing stone has been opened, and looking down from the entrance of the cave, the inside is dark and bottomless.
Wang Juan leaned over and looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't feel anything." β
"There's no one underground?"
"No, the hole is too deep to be out of my senses."
Everyone looked at each other, Wang Juan's sensing distance was more than 100 meters, if even she couldn't sense it, then how deep should this hole be?
Su Rui silently calculated and said: "Qin Xianghe's house is at the highest point of the village, and the vertical distance from the waterhole below the mountain is more than 300 meters, if the water level of the waterhole is level with the underground palace, it means that the depth of this hole is also around 300 meters." β
"Didn't Qin Xianghe already blow up the tunnel? Then this hole must be blocked underneath, right? Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and asked.
Su Rui shook his head, "The tunnel has been opened, I don't know how they did it, but there is indeed air flow at the entrance of the cave, you can feel it carefully." β
Ziyang carefully poked her head above the entrance of the cave, and there was no feeling of a breeze other than the cold and wet air.
But he trusted Su Rui's judgment. The tunnel that was blown up by Qin Xianghe is open again!
Jin Guoqiang nodded, "Wang Yangming's subordinates are all professional soldiers, and there may be demolition masters in them, they should have used the method of directional blasting to dredge the secret passage again." The muffled sound we heard just now must have been the sound of an underground explosion coming from through this hole. β
Ziyang's face turned pale: "So, Wang Yangming has already brought people into the underground palace?" β
