Chapter 298 Underground Caves
Han Changdui was stunned for a moment, seeing that the wellhead was narrow, only allowing one person to go up and down, and this person could not be too strong and fat, he looked around, pointed to a lean internal guard and said, "You go down to explore the way first." ”
The lean guard should claim that it was, and very neatly nailed two thumb-thick ropes to the ground, one tied to the waist and the other in the hand, and jumped down the well, as light as a swallow, while climbing down cautiously, while firmly fixing the other rope to the wall of the well.
The light only falls on the upper half of the narrow wellhead, and the black bottom can not be found at all, the more you climb down, the deeper and darker the well is, and the wall of the well is slippery, there is no place for any strength, the sound of the internal guard climbing down is intermittent, and occasionally there is one or two knocks against the wall, which sounds very painful.
Leng Linjiang grinned when he heard this, his body shook sideways with the sound of hitting the wall, and he glanced at Yao Ji again and again, and finally he couldn't hold back, pulled her shoulder, and took a closer look.
Yao Qi frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
Leng Linjiang joked: "Let's see if you have been knocked apart." ”
Yao sighed, untied the lantern hanging on the horse's back, and tied it firmly to the roller above the wellhead.
The light fell into the well, and the thin guard looked up and continued to climb down.
Han Changdui smiled faintly, and seeing that He Zhenfu had arranged the affairs of the front hall and turned back, he ordered: "Someone is guarding here, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
Immediately, dozens of internal guards spread out outside the well, facing outward to surround the dry well, with their hands on their waists, and if there was a vision, they could draw their soft swords at any time.
He continued to say to He Zhenfu: "Ask someone to search the ruins carefully, be careful. ”
He Zhenfu claimed that it was, and pointed to more than a dozen internal guards.
The dry well was not deep, and with the bright lights, the internal guard climbed much more smoothly, but after a while, the internal guard went down to the bottom of the well, pulled the rope, and the voice buzzed from the bottom of the well: "My lord, the bottom of the well is no different, you can come down." ”
Han Changdui answered, and he was going to go down the well first.
Yao Ji subconsciously took a step forward and stopped in front of Han Changdu: "My lord, I am familiar with my humble position, so let's go down first." ”
Han Changdui's eyes moved, revealing a faint smile, the smile was fleeting, he walked in front of Yao Ji quietly, and said gently: "No need." ”
Yao Qi was stunned for a moment, and before he came back to his senses, he saw Han Changdui take a big step and walked to the well, his body moved, and he didn't even tie the rope around his waist, so he jumped down from the well, and the crimson clothes and horns fluttered along the edge of the well.
Seeing this, Leng Linjiang patted Yao Qi's shoulder with a smile, raised his eyebrows and teased: "Are you still a girl?" ”
Yao Qi pursed his lips and rolled his eyes greatly: "I'm not, you are, a real sissy." ”
“......”
There was a soft sound in the well, and a clear voice was heard: "There can only be four people standing at the bottom, and then two more down." ”
Yao Ji responded, pulled up his unkempt hair at the back of his head, and tore the corners of his clothes at random to tie them, and the clothes that were already scratched by gravel were even more tattered like rags.
She didn't want to fall off the slippery wall of the well, breaking her tendons, so she tightened her grip on the rope and hung another very small lantern on her wrist, stepping on the dim light

Fainted into the well.
Leng Linjiang sighed twice, and when he heard the dull sound of landing, he shook the hem of his clothes, wrapped it around his waist and tied it, and then tied the rope to his waist to make a strong knot, and jumped down with him.
This dry well is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the wellhead is narrow, only allowing one person to go up and down, and those who are slightly fatter can't squeeze in.
Fortunately, the few people who went down the well were all the kind of people with few bones and flesh, otherwise they would have been stuck at the wellhead, and they couldn't get up or down.
And when he went down to the bottom of the well, although he didn't suddenly open up, he could barely accommodate three people standing, but after Leng Linjiang came down, the square inch at the bottom of the well was cramped and couldn't stand people.
Yao Qi was originally standing close to the wall of the well, the damp water soaked through his clothes and stuck to his body, and the cold air drilled into the cracks of his bones one by one, which was really uncomfortable.
As soon as Leng Linjiang went down to the bottom of the well, he shouted and screamed, just screaming, he felt uncomfortable standing against the wall of the well, so he actually pushed Yao Qi, just pushing her to Han Changdu's side and clinging to her.
Han Changdui couldn't dodge, even if he dodged, there was nowhere to hide, so he helplessly hugged Yao Ji in his arms, his chin rested on the top of her unkempt hair, and the warm breath suddenly shrouded his head.
Yao Qi is not an old-fashioned ancient person, there are not so many men and women who are not pretentious, but now, her body is stiff, there is no way to retreat, and she is very responsive, she turned around and glared at Leng Linjiang resentfully, and then turned around, just to meet Han Changdu's eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Yao Qi frowned, and hurriedly turned his head to look to the side.
The smile in Han Changdu's eyes became even stronger, and when he saw that the internal guard who was exploring the path bent down and had already entered the narrow corridor, he raised his voice and shouted: "He Zhenfu, a group of three, and then twelve people will come down." ”
When Yao Qi climbed out of the well, she had been moving forward in the dark, and there were a lot of cuts on her clothes, and there was a faint pain, which was not very obvious, but this time, by the light of the lantern hanging on her wrist, she could see this place clearly.
The road is long and narrow, and there are traces of rough excavation all around, and people kneel and crawl forward in the road, and the clothes on their hands are all fine cuts cut by the rough stone wall.
It was a dry well, but it was not dry, but it was extremely damp, and the stone walls of the ravines were covered with clumps of dark green moss, and water seeped out of the stone walls, ticking and hitting the ground.
She subconsciously looked down and saw that she was covered in dark green and light green moss.
The scratched hole can be made up by sewing and mending, but the dyed moss color can't be washed off.
Yes, I have to spend money on new clothes again.
The dagger she had been thinking about for a long time was in the soup again.
Leng Linjiang followed behind Yao Qi and crawled deep into the corridor, as if he had guessed what she was thinking, and laughed lowly: "Why don't you say a few nice words, I'll give you a few spring clothes?" ”
Yao Qi snorted, didn't even look back, and followed Han Changdui to crawl forward.
Leng Linjiang put a cold ass on his face, but he was not annoyed, he just smiled.
Han Changwan heard the voice in front of him, paused slightly, pursed his lower lip, and did not speak.
This road is not very long, but the stone walls are rough and pressing, and it is particularly difficult to use hands and feet together.
The corridor is quiet and deep, only the sound of falling water, in this case, the sound of crawling is extremely clear, and Han Changdui can even distinguish this
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Each of the crawling sounds belongs to whom.
The sound of rustling became louder and louder, chaotic, and dark shadows were burned on the jagged stone wall, and it was the twelve internal guards who went down the well in turn, and climbed into the corridor after them.
In the sound of ticking water, the group climbed hard enough to have a stick of incense, and the eyes suddenly opened up.
Han Changdui lit a fire, and Yao Qi held a horse lantern to illuminate the way ahead.
The surrounding area is still a hastily hewn stone wall, but it is more open than the corridor, like an underground cave, which can make people stand upright.
Some of them stood in the small cavern, while the rest were still lying in the narrow corridor.
Although this cave is not large, there are several tunnels dug in all directions, except for the one when Fang just entered, the other corridors are also narrow and deep, and can only allow people to kneel and crawl forward.
Han Changwan looked at it for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "You came from that road." ”
Yao Qi was stunned for a moment and pointed to the top of his head: "The lowly party came down from here." ”
Han Changdui looked up and saw the raised stone on the top of the cave at a glance.
The stone was not large, but could be grasped tightly with one hand, and the surface was smooth and round, which looked like it was the result of frequent touching.
The cave was low, and the man stood up, right above his head against the stone wall, and the stone was within reach.
Han Changdui waved his hand, letting Yao Qi and the others hide in the corridor.
Then the guard stepped forward and slowly turned the stone, making a creaking sound, and kept turning it for most of the circle, until it could no longer turn, and then stopped.
There was no hidden weapon mechanism or anything like that Han Changdui had guessed, only the stone wall above his head squeaked down, revealing a black hole, and a scorched breath rushed in with ashes.
"Who?" At the moment when the stone wall fell, there was a clanging sound of swords outside, slashing at the entrance of the cave, and the white miserable light suddenly fell into the cave, illuminating most of the cave.
Those swords are engraved with the mark of the Internal Guard, which is the team of internal guards left outside when Yao Qi tracked down and arrested people, these people are still guarding here, and they want to come here and not be affected by the flames.
"It's me." Han Changdui spoke in a deep voice.
When the people outside heard Han Changdui's voice, they immediately put away their swords, and the internal guards led by them said respectfully: "I have seen the young envoy." ”
Han Changdui asked expressionlessly, "What's going on outside?" ”
Neiwei said: "Since Yao joined the army, no one has appeared here, and the fire has not burned here. ”
Han Changwan bowed slightly, grabbed the bulge on the stone wall, poked his head out of the cave, and looked around.
It was next to the high courtyard wall, and not far from it was the fire, and as soon as he poked his head out, the scorching breath rushed over him.
He frowned, was it just to dig a secret passage in such a realm just to escape from that dry well?
If you want to escape, how good it is to climb over the wall directly, and the courtyard wall is not very high.
He turned his head to look at the cave, perhaps the intention of digging this secret passage was in the other passages.
He took Yao Qi and Leng Linjiang to the ground, and coldly ordered the internal guards: "Three people in a team, carefully explore these roads, and after half an hour, go to the ground to reply." ”
