Chapter 114: Hiding Place
"This place...... Weird. Tengu looked left and right for a moment and muttered quietly.
The interior of the room is like a distorted space, and when viewed from the top, it is diamond-shaped, narrow in front and back, and open in the middle. The staircase starts on the third floor and goes down until it is completely submerged into the depths of the earth.
Since the entrance is on the third floor, it is likely to be hidden in a certain room, considering that there is a green building on one side and an inn on the other, it must be difficult for outsiders to figure out the layout of its room, and this is indeed a suitable place for concealment.
The question is, who built all this?
Li was keenly aware that it was definitely not the Donghai Gang - they were just outsiders, and it was unlikely that they would be able to build such a building within a building under the noses of the residents.
The inside of the corridor was unguarded, and it was clear that the Donghai Gang thought that this place was hidden enough, and as long as the outside was not breached, no one would be able to break in.
Li raised his front paws, motioned to follow, and then leaped forward, landing smoothly on the top of the stairs.
A fox and a dog descended the spiral staircase, and the surrounding wooden walls turned into gray-blue bricks, and after descending almost thirty feet, the two demons reached the ground.
What appeared in front of them was a narrow, damp passage.
Since there is only one path, there is not much to choose. Li hurried into the passage and trotted forward—the light in this place was much darker, and there was only a candlestick in the distance, and it was difficult to spot the fox hidden in the shadows without paying attention.
Then the passage branched off. Some of the forks in the road were not even lit at all, and it was pitch black at the end, and it was unknown whether it was abandoned or used to confuse people.
This made Li confirm his guess once again - to build such a complex labyrinth underground, it is by no means possible to complete it overnight. And judging by the obsolescence of the masonry, it should have been around for a long time.
After thinking about it, Li decided to follow the widest path. The East China Sea Gang is not a monster, and they definitely prefer to stay in a bright and spacious place.
After walking dozens of steps, she finally saw the first living person.
A man in a loose robe with a long knife at his waist slowly walked down the passage. His hair was visibly shaved, except for a short tuft of pigtails on top of his head. One side of the arm has a blood print similar to that of Aoko, but only one is red.
Lai, who had been prepared, immediately turned around and retreated to the nearest fork in the road.
The man held a torch and looked like a guard. He looked around boredly, not even realizing that there were two more infiltrators in the darkness. He didn't even look inside as he passed the fork in the road.
"We're in the right direction. Li whispered, "Keep going." ”
Obviously, this person is a core member of the East China Sea Gang.
Seeing this dressed person means that they are close to the other party's base camp.
Sure enough, this time I didn't go far before the scenery suddenly changed, expanding from a passage to a rather spacious underground lobby.
The place is almost thirty or forty feet square, with an arc at the top, and light shining in the center, like a patio. There is a sound of water flowing under the patio, and there is a culvert buried nine times out of ten, which is convenient for the people who live here to take water and sewage.
I can't imagine that there is such a landscape under Jinxia City!
It's no wonder that the Dock Gang has changed a handful after handful, but no one has found out the whereabouts of the Donghai Gang.
"Can we go back?" Sanhui pulled Lari back.
There were more than fifty Dongsheng people gathered in the lobby, and at least four of them had a three-petal red blood pattern, if measured by Qingzi's strength, these few were all quite difficult to deal with.
Not to mention the Wu Gang, if such a group of people act collectively, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the local government to fight, unless the garrison of Shenzhou is mobilized.
At this time, it is completely certain that this is the hiding place of the Donghai Gang!
Li nodded, and was about to turn around and return when everyone suddenly stood up and bent down in one direction.
"Wait. ”
Seeing this situation, Li couldn't help but stop.
On the other side of the lobby, a wooden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a snow-white coat and a high hat walked out from behind the door and stood in front of everyone.
Seeing the other party's outfit, Shanhui's body suddenly shuddered!
"That's—the people who settled down, why...... He's going to be in a place like this!?"
Li found that Shanhui was showing his fangs and seemed to want to pounce on him.
"Hey, don't be stupid. She hurriedly pressed the other party's head, "What if the other party is the An family? Don't forget where we are!"
"My hometown...... It was slaughtered by the An family. Shan Hui replied with difficulty, "There are a thousand families, and no one except me has survived." ”
"Calm down, you're just sending you to death if you rush forward now. Li originally planned to stay a little longer to see what this person wanted to do, but it was a little difficult for Shanhui to control her emotions, so she had to leave the underground lobby with the other party in advance.
Back at the Privy Council's office, Lai recounted his findings in detail.
"Anyway, if it weren't for this stupid dog, we might have found out more. ”
"I'm sorry......" Shanhui let out a whimper, and his neck shrunk a little.
"It's understandable to want revenge, but the premise is to make sure that you can survive, after all, there is more than one An family. Xia Fan was relieved, "It's enough to have this information in addition—at least we've caught the enemy's tail." It's hard work, and now that Operation Cloud Removal is over, it's time to move on to the next step of the extermination plan. ”
"Xia Fan, are you sure you're going to do it so soon?" Li looked worried, "To be honest, I didn't expect the situation to be so serious before I saw the East China Sea Gang's lair. Assuming that those four people have the strength of Qingzi, the Lingbu will have to face four Fangshi who ask questions and even test the grade of the front at the same time, this is definitely not a problem of the *** Lake Gang, you are facing an opponent comparable to the Privy Council of Jinxia City. ”
"I agree. But there are many dreams at night, and if it drags on, the variables will only be greater. Xia Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had long known that the Donghai Gang had infiltrated Jinxia City, he didn't expect that the other party had infiltrated to such an extent - under the feet of the government and the privy council, secretly gathered a team comparable to the strength of the city defense army, no wonder the Wang family was so fearless.
There is also the An family in Shanhui's mouth - according to the May Witch Maiden, the treatment of the Fang Shi from the An family, or the Onmyoji in the Dongsheng Kingdom, is comparable to that of the national teacher, even if this person's status is low, he will not be reduced to such a state, and he will deign to get involved with the East China Sea Gang, right?
Dongshengguo sent such a group of people, just to guarantee the delivery of private salt in Xiacheng? Xia Fan always felt a little unbelievable.
They may have other plans.
As for what the plot is, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to disrupt the enemy's pace before the other party, so that Dongshengguo's plot has no way to do is the best countermeasure.
"Don't worry, the Donghai Gang is a bit beyond expectations, but they also have a fatal weakness, and we are not without a chance of winning. After thinking about it for a while, Xia Fan already had a countermeasure in his heart, "For this battle, I need to hold a tripartite meeting, now come with me to the princess's Fengyang Villa." ”
