Chapter 7: The Castle

Ye Jian entered the castle with two squads, and Lu Ming led the remaining five squads to stand by outside the castle. Secretly, Lu Ming gestured to Yun Fei and the others and issued a new mission - to search for suspicious locations under the cliff.

Yun Fei and the other two warriors understood, and with the help of the personnel, they quickly walked in the direction of the woods on the right, and soon burrowed into the night.

Yun Fei estimated the distance in his heart, and stopped not far from the place where Zhang Xing disappeared.

"Is this the place?" Zhang Ran said, observing his surroundings.

Yunfei confirmed and said, "This is it." ”

Zhang Ran and Xu Hui nodded, centering on Yunfei's location, and searched the cliff 15 meters apart.

Yun Fei first finished fixing the rope and tested the strength, then turned over and searched under the cliff.

At this time, the sky will be dark, and it will be darkest. With the sparse starlight in the sky, you can barely see 1 meter away. Yunfei searched very slowly, afraid of missing anything suspicious. It's just that the 30-meter rope is very fast, and there is still nothing to find, which makes him a little puzzled.

Suddenly, Xu Hui in the rear suddenly sent a signal - a suspicious entrance was found, and he went in first to investigate. Yun Fei hurriedly climbed up quickly, met Zhang Ran, and then followed the rope one after the other to enter the cave in the cliff.

The entrance to the cave is naturally formed, two meters wide and three meters high, enough to accommodate several people. Looking around the entrance of the cave, there are traces of sharp objects rubbing, and it is obvious that someone has entered and exited from here.

After Yunfei and Zhang Ran converged, they followed the mark left by Xu Hui all the way to the cave. The cave is deep, and the two of them are turning around, and finally there is a new discovery.

The cave in front of it was indeed naturally formed, but after 30 meters, the end of the cave was clearly excavated by hand. Judging by the trend of the cave, it is very likely that this cave leads to the ancient castle. It would obviously take a lot of money to dig such a cave, so it can be deduced that the castle must have some ulterior secrets.

Yun Fei and the others carefully walked through the 500-meter cave, and sure enough, they found a bright light in front of them. At the end of the cave is an iron door, and the light comes through the crack in the iron door. It's just that the two of them are a little worried - Xu Hui is gone, and they don't leave any information.

Xu Hui obviously entered the iron gate, but he didn't know what happened to him inside. The cave was silent, and there was no sound except for the faint breathing of the two of them. The light in the iron gate is like a temptation, and people can't help but want to plunge into the light. The two of them patiently guarded behind the door, waiting for Xu Hui to bring new information.

After waiting for a long time, the hearts of the two couldn't help but sink. There was no new information, which was clearly out of line with the Investigative Team. Then Xu Hui is obviously in trouble.

The two couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Yun Fei got up and was about to enter behind the iron gate to investigate the situation.

Zhang Ran hurriedly pressed Yun Fei's shoulder, got up and blocked the door, and stopped Yun Fei's actions. Zhang Ran gestured and ordered: You go back and tell Lu Ming and the captain about the situation here, I am here waiting for Xu Hui's news.

Looking at Zhang Ran's serious expression, Yun Fei had to be anxious and turned around and walked back. After a few steps, Yun Fei turned around again, handed his pistol to Zhang Ran, and then gestured: Be careful.

Zhang Ran nodded and put away the pistol.

Yunfei turned around and quickly returned the same way. He knew that now was not the time for emotion, and that he had to inform the two captains of what he had found in time to avoid falling into the unknown.

All the way back to the gate of the ancient castle, Yunfei found Lu Ming and whispered to tell him what he had found.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said loudly to Yun Fei: "Yun Fei, you go to see if the captain is in danger, why has there been no news for so long, the others, prepare for battle, and prepare to rescue the captain." Privately, he ordered with a gesture: Go in and inform the captain, and retreat first.

"Yes. Yun Fei said loudly, saluted, and turned to walk towards the inside of the castle.

Entering the castle and asking the maid all the way, Yunfei finally met Ye Jian in a banquet hall in the castle.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, and an old man dressed in a fine costume sat on a chair at the top of the banquet hall, drinking fine wine while admiring the dancing of the dancing queen in the middle of the banquet hall, and two beautiful maids serving by his side.

Ye Jian and the five warriors sat behind the reception tables on both sides of the hall. Four of the warriors drank fine wine and ate the fine food laid out in front of them, and they judged the six dancing girls. Ye Jian and the other warrior looked at the dancing girl intently, chatting with the earl from time to time, but they didn't touch any food on the table.

Report. Yun Fei reported, and without waiting for a response, he quickly walked in front of Ye Jian, leaning slightly sideways, blocking the earl's view.

Yun Fei said loudly: "The vice captain is a little worried about the safety of the adults, and sent me in to ask about the situation of the adults. Please instruct. Privately, he used gestures to convey the message: there is a secret room under the castle, and the exit is at the cliff 500 meters away.

Ye Jian glanced silently, and when Yun Fei saw this, he hurriedly walked behind Ye Jian and stood still.

Ye Jian stood up, bowed to the earl and said, "Count Fleiken, sorry for disturbing your Yaxing. I think I'll have to go out and talk to my men, or the rude soldiers will riot, and that's not going to be good. ”

"You're too outward, Colonel Ye Jian. Count Flacken stood up and said, "I have admired you soldiers most in my life. Defending the family and the country and not fearing death is really admirable. ”

Count Fleiken said, holding up the maid's glass that he had just emptied, and saluted, "To your noble will, we make a toast." ”

Ye Jian smiled and picked up the wine glass, shook the wine in the glass slightly, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "By the way, what about the subordinates who came in with me to search before? Why hasn't anyone come to report yet, there won't be any chaos, right?" After that, he put down the wine glass and looked out of the door with a frown.

"Well......" Count Flacken's expression changed, and then he regained his composure, and rebuked the maid beside him, "Go and ask if the soldiers have found anything in the castle?"

The maid prostrated herself on the ground in a panic and replied, "Yes, Lord Earl, I will go and ask." With that, the maid hurriedly got up again, took a few steps back, and hurried out of the banquet hall.

"Come on, come on, leave them alone, let's continue drinking, and I guess in a while, those of your men will be found. ”

Ye Jian had no choice but to pick up the wine glass again, and pretended to be casual: "Lord Earl is really enthusiastic. ”

As he spoke, a gunshot rang out.

Ye Jian's expression suddenly froze, and he said to Count Fletcon suspiciously: "Why did I suddenly hear a gunshot? It seems to be coming from the depths of the castle." ”

"Yes, I didn't hear anything, did you hear me?" said the Earl, pretending to be surprised.

Ye Jian had already seen that something was wrong, and at this time, he was not putting on a false and wronged appearance, but said in a cold tone: "I've played with guns all my life, I won't hear it wrong." It may be that I have been here for a long time, and my subordinates are worried, and there may be a conflict with your subordinates. I'll have to go out and have a look. ”

"Alas, I'm old, and my ears are a little unresponsive, and I can't compare to you young warriors. Earl Fletcon shook his head and sighed, continued, put away his smile, shook his glass, looked up and drank the liquor from the glass, savored it carefully, and swallowed it.

"There's no way around it. Count Fletcon glanced at Ye Jian and slammed the wine glass to the ground.

Suddenly, a puff of white smoke erupted from under each of the six guest tables. The white smoke quickly spread, and soon filled the entire banquet hall.

Carefully hold your breath and exit the parlor. Ye Jian said, taking the lead and rushing out of the door.

Yunfei was about to follow, when he suddenly saw a dancing girl draw a dagger from under the table, and hurriedly reminded loudly: "Be careful of the dancer." With that, he stepped forward and used his grappling skills to snatch the dagger from the dancer's hand and knock her down.

"Poof...... Poof......" came the sound of several falling grounds.

Four of the warriors who had gone to the banquet with Ye Jian had fallen to the ground, three of them were bleeding profusely, and only one was still standing, holding a dagger in his hand, apparently snatched from the dancer's hand.

Yun Fei's eyes immediately turned red, and he approached a dancer, used a grappling technique to grab the dagger, and then brushed the ground across the dancer's neck, and then quickly approached the warrior and tangled with several other dancers.

"Click. ”

There was a soft thud behind him. Yun Fei turned around, only to see that not far behind him, a dancing girl fell heavily to the ground, and her throat was crushed by Ye Jian. It was the dancing girl who was knocked down by Yunfei just now.

"Be careful and end the fight as soon as possible. Ye Jian said, and also joined the battle of several people.

With Ye Jian joining, the remaining dancers also died quickly.

Yun Fei hurriedly squatted down to check the injuries of several fighters, and found that they were no longer breathing and their pulses had stopped, so he couldn't help but shake his head sadly.

The warrior suggested, "Captain, let's retreat first." ”

Ye Jian said: "You retreat first, let Lu Ming lead the team, and storm the ancient castle." I'll go and catch the Count first. Ignoring the two of them, he quickly rushed to the corner door of the banquet hall.

During the scuffle just now, the Count took advantage of the gap and ran along the corner gate.

"Alright, let's go call for reinforcements first, captain be careful. After the warrior finished speaking, he hurriedly beckoned Yun Fei to retreat outside the gate of the banquet hall.

Yun Fei said: "You go and call for reinforcements first, and I will support the captain." ”
