Although Qin Qi had only been in the town for a few years, with his good sense of direction on land, the government building in the distance was getting closer and closer, and after a while, at the corner of a street, Qin Qi saw two people wearing border guard uniforms like him.

He hadn't even seen a figure for a few miles just now, but now that he saw his partner, Qin Qi's nervous mood instantly relaxed, he forgot what he saw on the shore of the Long Lake, and couldn't wait to say hello. As a result, when he just raised his hand, he was covered by a rough hand full of ravines, Qin Qi's eyes turned to the right, and he immediately made a movement to draw his sword.

"Be quiet, it's me." A familiar voice came from behind.

Qin Qi gently pressed the half-drawn sword back into the scabbard, and he turned around and looked back, it turned out to be Bethleto.

"Why are you here?"

Baillito pulled Qin Qi to the wall, looked at the two "border guards" on the street, and confirmed that he had not been found before he put his mind down and talked to Qin Qi.

"The party has been disturbed by a group of savages, and I have just come from home," Baillito said, with a very sorry expression on his face, "and I haven't even had a glass of barley beer." ”

Qin Qi was almost not angry to death, when did he still care about whether he drank beer. He didn't dare to scold, suppressing his anger, after all, anger didn't do him any good.

"Bethleto, what's going on at the party?"

"There was a group of people posing as border guards who had taken a large number of noble officials and commoners hostage and hid in the government building," Burlito said, pulling his pipe from his clothes unhurriedly, "as if they were Novat's robbers, who had already been there once last month." ”

"Novat robbers? What about the guards over there? Qin Qi asked urgently.

"They're locked up inside, too. Tans and Lingyue are inside. Burlito lit his pipe, took a few puffs, and glanced to the side, "Now the two men on the street are looking for the real border guards, if you had just passed, you probably wouldn't have returned." ”

Qin Qi stuck his head out, snooped for a while, and found that these two people were indeed not patrolling, but looking around sneakily.

"Bethleto, they all said you were very good, why didn't you save them?"

"Who did you listen to? I'm just going to make gadgets. Baillito looked at Qin Qi with a surprised expression, "Let me be an old man to fight with so many robbers, and others are probably not willing to fight me." ”

Qin Qi stretched his waist up and looked at Bethlito speechlessly, he originally thought that Bethlito was some kind of robber terminator.

"So what to do? We can't sit idly by here, what if they kill the hostages? ”

"Don't worry, kid"

"How can you rest assured in this situation?"

Baillito glanced at the street with a disdainful look.

"I have informed the captain of the border guard in the next town, and he will be sending someone over soon. Besides, the robbers came in for nothing more than one purpose, booty. If they are going to negotiate, we have to have enough people to negotiate with them. ”

"I see, Bethleto, you are clever."

"But what we need to figure out at the moment is, what is the situation of this group of robbers in the government building, and what are they doing in it?" Bethleto's gaze shifted to Qin Qi, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "We have to send someone in." ”

"It won't be ・・・・・・" Qin Qi glanced down at himself, and suddenly understood what Baillito meant, "Okay, I know, but how do I get in?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this." Baillito confidently said, "I have my own way of doing this." However, now there is a problem, you have to clean up these two people on the street, and by the way, let them breathe a little bit, and when the time comes, they are afraid that they will report the news. ”

"I don't think it's a problem."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Qi drew out his long sword, his strength was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, he sprinted quickly, and when he was still two meters away from the two imposters, the long sword in his hand waved a gorgeous arc in the air, and a head turned a few times in the air, and hit the ground with a "snap", and what was left not far from the head was a convulsive headless corpse, as well as a fake border guard who was splashed with blood and full of panic.

Qin Qi withdrew his long sword, he didn't know why he had such agile swordsmanship, there was a force in his body that invisibly controlled him, and his body was as light as his soul. Noticing the dazzling red light of the ruby on the long sword, he naturally pointed the blade of the sword at the neck of the fake border guard, revealing a stern look and asking coldly.

"What do you want here?"

With a "poof", the person in front of him knelt down, clasped his hands into fists, and desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy, this kind of scene was indeed a little different from the scene of the duel in Qin Qi's imagination.

In less than half an hour, Qin Qi had already tied the imposter with hemp rope to a strong knot, stuffed a ball of wheat stalks into his mouth, and threw it on the notch for feeding the horses. Bertotto, on the other hand, haphazardly hid the people with wheat stalks, and brought a few wooden barrels filled with water and placed them in front.

In Qin Qi's eyes, this kind of inferior and ugly disguise had the effect of having no silver three hundred taels here, he couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to stop Burlito's senseless behavior.

"Hey, Bethleto, okay, don't get it, no one will see it."

Baillito looked at Qin Qi with surprised eyes, and his mouth formed a small circle.

"How do you know that there are no of his accomplices nearby, and if they are discovered, they will be alarmed."

"Well, you've thought about it more thoroughly. You also knew their intentions just now," Qin Qi pulled Berlito out of the stable, "They want to find something in the government building, and they also plan to use hostages to get out, is there anything valuable in this government building?" ”

"I don't know, who knows what those aristocratic officials put in the government building." Baillito looked disdainful, "I don't usually deal with them. ”

"Your granddaughter Lingyue is still inside."

"This kid is as smart as I am, don't worry."

"Okay then," Qin Qi looked a little impatient, he didn't want to discuss this with Bethlito anymore, "Then you can quickly tell me how to get in." ”

"Hmm・・・・・・" Buritto held his chin in thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head again.

"Come with me."

Qin Qi followed Bethleto around the alley for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a white granite wall. This place was not far from the government building, Qin Qi didn't understand what the old man Bethlito meant, he took a closer look at the stone wall, which was covered with children's graffiti, advertisements for the sale of various goods, and mercenary recruitment papers, and some strange stone carvings.

"You're not going to let me go and be a mercenary, are you?" Qin Qi made a joke with Bethleto.

"It's a little late now," said Burlito, with a very serious expression, not at all the grin that he had just had, as if he had become a different person. "It's a door."

Door? Qin Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes and wander around the wall with his hands and feet, hoping to find something related to the concept of "door", such as handles, keyholes, and so on. It's a pity that after touching it for a long time, I haven't touched any clues, but the palms of my hands are black and shiny.

"You can't open the door like that." Bertto gently pushed Qin Qi away, and pointed the top of the staff towards the wall, cyan fluorescent lines slowly appeared on the wall, and the outline of a door appeared in front of Qin Qi's eyes, the upper part of the door was a semicircle, and along the edge of the semicircle was a slender white snake, this white snake was very similar to the giant snake that Qin Qi saw on the sea and in the long lake, but it was too small in size and its body was stone.

Bethlito continued to tap the White Snake with his staff and shouted to get up. The White Snake actually opened his eyes, stuck his head out of the wall, and looked at Bethlito sleepily. Bethlito withdrew his staff, stood up straight, and said in a solemn tone: "I am a guest from the west, tell your master, open the door, and I will enter." ”

The white snake nodded at Bethleto, turned around and burrowed into a black hole in the center of the door, and after a while, the stone door bounced out of the wall, accompanied by the sound of "snort", white smoke spewed out from the crack in the door, and a stench that seemed to have been brewing for thousands of years came to his face, Qin Qi couldn't dodge, and was smoked by the stench, and immediately goosebumps fell to the ground.

"How many years has this door been closed? The smell is comparable to thousands of years of stinky tofu. Qin Qi covered his nose and complained.

"This gate was built by the High Fasage Rath for the town of Long Lake two hundred years ago," Bethlito fanned the evil aura in front of him, "Rath is an expert in making doors, his doors can be hidden in the walls, and there are many such doors in Kannan City, the capital of the Fashi Kingdom, you should be glad that you still have the opportunity to see this kind of door." ”

"Does the door lead directly to the government building?"

"No, you'll have to walk through the underground passage for a while, which was used by people to hide from dark creatures, and the long lake was a paradise for wild beasts back then."

Bethlito pushed the door open hard, Qin Qi glanced inside, it was dark, there was no light, after the stench dissipated, it was an endless cold wind coming out from the inside, the sound of the wind whirring passed in his ears, and the whole door looked like a beast with its big mouth open.

"Bethleto, you don't want me to be alone in there, do you?"

"How so?" Baillito deliberately raised his voice, "I'll escort you inside for a short while, and when it's almost time, I'll have to walk back myself to pick up the border guards from the next town." ”

"That's pretty much it." Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's get started."

After that, Bethlito and Qin Qi burrowed into the black hole, and at this time, the stone door quietly closed, the fluorescence on the stone wall disappeared automatically, and everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
