Chapter 66: The Dark Road Unknown Path
(The willow branches of that year are no longer green this year.) () Share a song: If you love me, you will hug me. )
Seeing the assassin who appeared in Lingbi Fang reappearing, Su Qin was secretly happy in his heart.
Turning his head to look, the man was wearing a coarse linen coat, a pair of green silk shoes on his feet, and a hat on his head, at first he was close to Su Qin and forced Su Qin to walk along the place where there was less crowd with a short blade, and later saw that Su Qin and Mu Ye did not shout or show signs of resistance, so he withdrew the short blade hidden in his sleeve, but judging from the few people who followed him later, he did not take Su Qin and Mu Ye lightly.
When they assassinated Lu Zhenyu, they dispatched three people, and against Su Qin and Muye, they actually sent six people, seeing this kind of formation, Su Qin smiled bitterly, thinking that these people really looked down on themselves.
Su Qin's lower abdomen felt an inexplicable pain at this time, Su Qin looked at the assassin who was following him, bit his lip lightly with his teeth, and continued to follow these people to turn left and right, and his understanding of Lihuo City only stayed in Su Qin, who knew a few official ways, although he walked with his head down, he was very careful to remember these alleys that he couldn't name.
And Makino kept looking at Su Qin with his eyes all the way, and Su Qin always shook his head slightly, telling him not to act rashly.
A group of eight people walked back and forth in the dark, walked a few streets, inserted a few alleys, deviated from the crowded official road, passed through the central area where the rich lived, and finally came to a slum in the eastern district.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and compared with the Fire City and other cities, the people here will inevitably have a sense of superiority, and this sense of superiority comes from the foot of the Imperial City - the power of the Son of Heaven, although some of them are not living well here, but they are the people of the Yan Kingdom and the Fire City, and they have seen the world better than the people of those remote towns, right?
It's really just a kind of psychological self-comfort.
Just like what the wizard said to Su Qin when he was very young, he would rather be a phoenix tail than a phoenix, and the same is true for the civilians in the eastern district of the fire city, Liujiu Hutong is set here, in addition to the many green buildings, there are many restaurants, the further east, the fewer the restaurants, and in the end, those wine shops are just one or two private houses, and there is a wine word hanging at the door.
Su Qin heard the wizard say that this place, Dongcheng District is the worst from the fire city, there are no rich people here, they are all some foreign population from other cities or servants in large households live here, there are many underground gambling houses here, in the words of the wizard, this place can be summed up in three words, dirty, messy, poor.
Seeing that they brought themselves here, Su Qin frowned, but he didn't say anything, just like that, he walked for another half a pillar of incense, these people stopped at a dilapidated private house, looking at the humble scene in the garden, Su Qin looked around, the private houses here are connected, and a shout in the courtyard will definitely come far away, is his guess wrong?
The person walking in front reached out and knocked on the wooden door, someone opened it from the inside, there was no light in the house, and no faces could be seen, and when Su Qin and the others walked into the house, the person closed the wooden door, and then lit the candle.
The nine people stood in the room and looked a little crowded, the person with the candle in his hand first looked at Su Qin and Muye, and then looked at the assassin who appeared in the Lingbi Fang, the man stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, the person with the candle in his hand nodded, put the candle on the lampstand, and then walked towards the bedroom in the back room.
Su Qin turned his head to look at a bookcase in the house, and before he could see the layout of the house, he heard someone say to him to go.
After speaking, someone pushed Su Qin to the inner room, the person who came into the bedroom before was gone at this time, and a three-foot black hole appeared in the corner of the earthen kang, I don't know what was in this place before, Su Qin stood in the distance and could faintly see the light coming out of it.
Looking at the basement, Su Qin suddenly understood, someone had already taken the lead in getting in, and Su Qin and Makino had to walk towards the basement.
In the end, only two people were left on the ground, and the rest all went into the basement, watching the others walk into the hole, and a person in the earth house reached out and touched the kang on the earth, and then the hole suddenly closed, and there was no trace to be seen.
If Gongsun saw this scene, he would probably sigh, after all, the subtlety of the design of this kind of darkroom mechanism that dares not to use any barrier is amazing.
The scene underground exceeded Su Qin's expectations, Su Qin originally thought that the underground was just a basement to store sundries, but when he walked down the crowd nearly two feet deep, there was no room, but a one-person high tunnel appeared, and the tunnel extended to the east, with many torches already burning on both sides.
As he walked inside, Su Qin's surprise in his heart became more and more serious, the tunnel was lined with houses with wooden doors, he didn't understand how there could be such an existence under this seemingly simple wooden house, and it seemed that this underground world had existed for a long time, to dig out such an underground world, I'm afraid it wouldn't happen overnight, right? How much manpower and financial resources would it take, or do such a big project under the noses of those sensational Qilin Army in Fire City?
There was a time to take a cup of tea, Su Qin's face had already shown a trace of horror, the world below was too big, the big one was unimaginable, Su Qin didn't know how the ventilation of this underground world was set up, staying below not only didn't feel depressed, but also didn't feel dull, Makino was also surprised to grow his mouth, he followed Su Qin closely, kept turning his head to look around, because there were too many curves, Su Qin had been remembering the direction of walking, from coming in to the east, although he turned a dozen turns, but he felt that he was still going east。
This underground passage is about to leave the Fire City, right?
Through the gap in the wooden door of a room, Su Qin glanced hurriedly, and was shocked again when he saw what was inside, if he was not mistaken, there was a room of weapons inside, with long knives and spears, although it was covered with dust, but the blades still seemed to glow with cold light in the dark.
"Where are you taking us here?" Su Qin forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, pretending to ask calmly, his voice sounded in the tunnel, there was no impatience, no uneasiness, just like when friends meet each other and ask each other how they are doing.
"What, scared?" The assassin who appeared in Lingbi Fang paused and glanced back at Su Qin, who only saw his face clearly at this time, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was about forty years old.
"I just feel like I don't know when it's going to end. Su Qin said this, and smiled, "You won't take me to visit your underground world, will you?"
The man snorted coldly, looked at Su Qin without saying a word, and then turned around and continued to walk forward.
Su Qin secretly sweated in his heart at the moment, he felt that he was still careless, and he had ruined the good things of these people in Lingbi Fang...... Before, Su Qin guessed that these people might know some secrets from eighteen years ago, so he showed up and wanted to find out something from them, but he ignored the purpose of these people, just like at this moment, he knew their secrets under the Fire City, if they didn't agree for a while, wouldn't they be wiped out by them?
Gently tugging at Mu Ye, Su Qin secretly told Mu Ye to let him be ready to do it at any time, how these people's kung fu Su Qin didn't know, but from a while ago in Qingyun City and Mangguo Warriors to the tribe's Strange Beast Peak and those tiger people, although Su Qin was not blindly confident in his kung fu to the point of being able to go across the world, he knew that what the wizard said was right, as long as he didn't meet those perverted Qi Sect masters, Su Qin believed that he could protect himself.
The tunnel finally came to an end - a space of nearly ten zhang in length and width, about one zhang high, like a small square.
There were some wooden pillars in the square supporting the dirt above the space, there were two rows of chairs and some wooden tables inside, and in the huge space, except for the people who had advanced on the ground before, there was only Su Qin and the others.
"Brother Yi, someone brought it over. The assassin in Lingbi Fang said in a hoarse voice, and after speaking, he came to Su Qin, pushed Su Qin, and then greeted the others, and they all withdrew from this place, closed the wooden door and guarded outside.
"I'm Liu Yi. Liu Yi looked at Su Qin, who was looking around, and then pointed to the chair on the side, "If you're tired, you can sit down." ”
Su Qin shook his head, looked at Mu Ye, followed him and walked a few steps, came to the center of the square, and looked at a painting pasted on Liu Yi's back, which depicted a middle-aged man with a handsome face, standing gracefully on a mountain peak with a folding fan in his hand.
"What do you have to ask?" Liu Yi glanced at Su Qin, and seeing that he was very interested in the painting behind him, he found a chair and sat down.
"What are you bringing me here for?" Su Qin looked away from the painting and stared at Liu Yi, he didn't see anything from Liu Yi's appearance, but those people dared to leave themselves and Muye alone with Liu Yi here, which was enough to show that they were not afraid that they would threaten Liu Yi's safety - since this was the case, then this Liu Yi must be a master, but looking at Liu Yi's dress, he looked like a poor scholar.
"If I say that you stop us from killing Lu Zhenyu, is it enough to say that the enemy's friend is your own enemy?"
Seeing Liu Yi say this, Su Qin smiled and shook his head slightly, "If you regard me as your enemy, then you won't go to great lengths to bring me here, there must be some other purpose." ”
"Clever. The corners of Liu Yi's mouth raised, "Bringing you here has nothing to do with you preventing us from killing Lu Zhenyu." Speaking of this, Liu Yi stared at Su Qin, "I'll ask you a few questions first, you answer me, and I'll tell you the reason." ”
"Don't try to deceive me. Liu Yi said and looked around the square, "This place is full of organs, as long as I do it, you will die without a corpse, and don't think about doing it to me, you are not my opponent." Liu Yi said this very confidently.
"You ask. Su Qin lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then looked up at Liu Yi and said.
"Have you seen a man named Mo Li in the tribe?"
Hearing this question, Su Qin was stunned, how did this Liu Yi know that he was a member of the tribe, and ...... Looking at Liu Yi's appearance, it seems to be a little familiar, how can the hidden edge in those eyes be so similar to the brocade-clothed man he met in the tribe?
Thinking of this, a layer of fine sweat broke out on Su Qin's forehead.
