He looked at Yao Qi, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he always had a bright smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes at all, and a pair of apricot eyes were like unmelted ice in the harsh winter, the cold was pressing, revealing endless coldness and alienation.

She is always like this, she is kind and laughing to everyone, and throwing good words out as if she doesn't want money, but after getting along for a long time, she knows that she is actually the most cold and reckless in her bones, does not pay attention to the rules, and does not communicate with others.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a faint anger in his heart, wanting to conquer, subdue, and make her obedient, and this thought swept like a wild wolf, but his face did not show a bit, and he looked at Yao Qi lightly for a moment, and then looked away as usual.

It's a hedgehog, then pluck out her thorns.

If there is a backbone, then her backbone.

With such an experience, the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, but Leng Linjiang was used to enlivening the atmosphere, and after a few gags, it passed.

Seeing Han Changwei walking not far away with his hands behind his back, and talking to the internal guards who were searching the ruins of the fire, Leng Linjiang quietly touched a piece of flax cake, stuffed it into Yao Qi's hand, and said with a dry smile: "Ah Qi, come, I've been busy all night, eat the cake cushion." ”

Yao Qi was indeed hungry and tired, the burnt fragrance of sesame seeds went straight into his nostrils, glanced at Leng Linjiang lightly, took the flax cake and took a bite hard.

Leng Linjiang smiled: "That, I really have no malice, Jiu Chao is really a good person, you really want to learn from a saint, and you don't mess up?" ”

"You're still talking nonsense!" Yao Qi was so angry that he was about to smash it with the cake.

Leng Linjiang hurriedly dodged: "I was wrong, wrong, wrong, no more nonsense." ”

Yao Qi pursed his lips, clenched his back molars, and threatened in a low voice: "Leng Linjiang, let me tell you, it doesn't matter if I don't have a heart for him, I didn't have it before, I don't have it now, and I didn't have it in the past, if you drag me and him together indiscriminately, I will cut off my robe with you!" ”

With a "boom", Leng Linjiang was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned and motionless, and only after a while did he promise in a loud voice: "Don't worry, if I talk nonsense again, it will make me rot my tongue." ”

Don't be funny, Ah Ji wants to cut off his robe with him, then he can only be sorry for Jiuchao.

About half an hour later, the internal guards who went down to the bottom of the well came up one after another, all of them in ragged clothes and gray faces, and one of the captains saluted and said, "Young Envoy, there is a discovery underground." ”

Han Changdu's eyes suddenly lit up, he walked over quickly, and said in a deep voice, "Say." ”

The lieutenant pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Most of the secret passages underground are impassable, used to hide people's eyes and ears, only a few secret passages are built with iron gates, and another secret passage is covered with mechanisms, and the internal guards are dismantling the mechanisms. ”

Han Changdu's heart froze, his face was still expressionless, and he bowed slightly: "Lead the way, go down and have a look." ”

The group staggered down the well again, and first went to the secret passages where the iron valves were built.

These passages are also extremely narrow, and the uneven stone walls are marked by the internal guards.

At the end of the climb, the place was a little more empty, and people could stand up, and they saw a cast-iron gate more than one person high.

The cast iron valve was untold how many years had passed, and the surface was stained with rust, like a dark red pattern engraved on the black plain door.

This cast-iron gate is a whole iron plate, and the stone walls on the upper and lower sides are inlaid with a tighter seam, as if the molten iron was poured directly here, and even the green and blue moss covered with the stone walls

, none of which appear in the gap between the cast-iron gate and the stone wall.

There are no locks on the cast-iron gates, and there is no place to open them.

Leng Linjiang was stunned in front of the door for a moment, and said, "This thing, it has to be blown up with explosives." ”

Yao Qi looked at the bare cast-iron gate with his hands behind his back, and nodded solemnly: "This kind of credit must be left to you, you will blow it up." ”

Leng Linjiang frowned, how did he feel that Yao Qi was digging a pit for him again, he raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when he heard Han Changdui cough lightly.

Han Changdui flicked his fingers and said slowly: "You blow it up slowly, let's go out first." ”

Leng Linjiang finally understood, and used explosives to blow up the gate, and the gate was blown open, but this secret passage also had to be blown up, and he would definitely not be able to escape.

He sighed, not annoyed or angry, but patted Han Changdu's shoulder, and smiled maliciously: "Jiuchao, you have learned badly." ”

Han Changwan was extremely embarrassed, coughed lightly, walked to the cast iron gate, and reached out to touch it back and forth.

The gate was indeed made of a single piece of iron, bare to the touch, and although there were some slight unevennesses, there were no gaps that could be pried.

It was quiet in the tunnel, no one spoke, all looking carefully for a mechanism that could open the cast-iron gates.

The light of the fire shone on the gate, and the cold light of the cold iron flickered, like a cold star in the sky.

The crowd carefully probed the stone wall and the gate inch by inch, but surprisingly found nothing.

Han Changdu's face suddenly sank.

Having dug so many secret passages in such a place, and taking great pains to cast such an impregnable cast iron gate, it is definitely not for a dead iron plate to be kept, it must have a use for this thing, and there must be a way to open it.

His hand rested on the gate, and the chill ran down the palm of his finger and climbed to his arm, chilling to the bone.

A thought flashed through his mind.

He turned his face sideways, pressed against the cast-iron gate.

After a while, his face changed slightly, and he beckoned to Yao Qi: "Come here and listen, what kind of sound is this." ”

Yao Qi hurriedly went over, leaned on the cast iron gate and listened, and the more he listened, the more strange his expression became.

Leng Linjiang also put away his playful expression, and also leaned on the door to listen.

A faint rattling sound sounded behind the gate.

It was like a trickle flowing through the underground.

It was like a frightened bird spreading its wings and flying away, the wind shook the leaves, and countless cold night dew dropped.

After a moment of silence, the three of them straightened up together and looked at each other strangely.

Leng Linjiang frowned and took the lead in speaking: "This is, the child peesing?" ”

Yao Qi burst out laughing, and couldn't stand up straight with a smile: "How many children do you have to pee to have such a big water sound!" ”

Han Changdui was extremely embarrassed, a little blush seeped out along his ears, he could say this kind of private matter so bluntly, and only the two people in front of him could do it.

He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "There must be water outside this cast iron gate, there is no doubt about it, but how deep the water is, how big the water is, and where the water comes from, but it is not known

。 ”

With that, he turned his head to look at Yao Qi.

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Everything is under the orders of the young envoy." ”

Han Changdui pursed his lower lip, gave a stack of orders, and then led people straight to several other secret passages that also had gates.

Not surprisingly, the cast-iron gates were identical, and there was no mechanism to open them.

Things have come to this point, Han Changdui is not in a hurry, there are so many cast iron gates at the same time, naturally something is weird, since these doors are useful, so wait for the rabbit, you can always catch one or two useful people.

Everyone retreated to the entrance, and Han Changdui ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and drew the direction of these secret passages with gates with memories from memory.

He then asked, "Where is that secret passage with a mechanism?" ”

The lieutenant pointed to a dark road to the east, bowed and said, "Over here." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in the corridor with a lamp.

The damp breath came to the face, and the green and blue moss appeared on the stone wall endlessly, and the brown and yellow stone wall was actually dyed into a verdant patch.

As soon as he entered the Yongdao, Han Changdui noticed something unusual, this Yongdao was obviously different from other Yongdao, and it seemed to be more humid.

He followed behind the lieutenant and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are left in front of you to dismantle the mechanism?" ”

The lieutenant replied respectfully: "A total of six internal guards have been left. ”

A group of more than a dozen people crawled forward silently, the clothes on their bodies had already been worn out by the rough stone walls, and the damp water vapor soaked through the tattered clothes, invading the body, cold and piercing.

I don't know how long I climbed, but the lamp in my hand could only illuminate a small area under me, and everywhere I could see was a dark stone wall, and the sound of light water droplets broke the silence drop by drop.

Suddenly there was a noisy voice in front of him, and the deep corridor suddenly brightened up a little.

The captain who was leading the way in front breathed a sigh of relief, and said with implicit joy: "My lord, it's just ahead." ”

The group of people suddenly sped up their crawling speed.

As we got closer to the light, the corridor gradually became spacious.

From the beginning of crawling, you can slowly hunch forward, and finally you can straighten up and stride forward.

The internal guards who broke the mechanism in front of them heard the movement, turned around together, and saw Han Changwan and his party coming over, and hurriedly saluted: "Young Envoy." ”

Han Changdui nodded and said, "What's the matter?" ”

One of the guards stepped forward and pointed to the empty front and said, "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't been able to find the news room of the agency, but if you want the secret room in front, you must pass through this mechanism." ”

Han Changdui stared at it for a long time.

The road ahead was not very long, and at the end stood two closed iron gates, on which a large lock was pressed, but the mist was endless, and it was impossible to see the appearance of the iron door and the lock.

The road to the iron gate looked empty, but no one dared to move forward easily, after all, the road was full of arrows, and the stone walls were splashed with scattered bloodstains, which had long since dried up and blackened, and looked like it was old.

Han Changdu's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "In addition to the arrows, there are also mechanisms next to it." ”

The internal guard bowed his head and said, "The lowly rank hasn't had time to trigger the mechanism." ”

Han Changwan glanced at the internal guard lightly, and beckoned to the back: "Yao joins the army, you come and try." ”
