Chapter 238: The Abyss (I)
"Shhh......h Ah Xiu Tsai had gone down and left a mark. ”
Xu Zun leaned over and looked at the deep well that was as black as ink, turned to Huo Anu and commanded:
"Anu, you and Hou Zhen stay, pay attention to hiding your whereabouts."
"Adult ......"
Huo Anu was reluctant, but after thinking about it, it was precisely because Xu Zun trusted him that he would let himself stay on it.
"There's a small space down there, and your iron umbrella is not easy to open!"
Xu Zun saw what she meant, and reminded him in a low voice.
Huo Anu was no longer entangled, and immediately pulled into the rope with Hou Zhen.
Zhao Yu and Ani took the lead in climbing the rope down, and several other guards pulled the rope in turn and followed, and the last one was Xu Zun.
All of them had a light body and went down the rope without the slightest effort, and they did not make any sound.
Xu Zun is also considered an elite of the police force, so it is naturally not a problem to climb a rope.
After a while, Xu Zun had already climbed six or seven meters down, and as the strength of the rope gradually weakened, it showed that Zhao Yu and the others had reached the end.
However, just as Xu Zun was about to go down, he suddenly heard a sound of fighting somewhere at the bottom of the well.
"It's not good...... Zhao Yu secretly screamed that it was not good, and immediately rushed to follow the sound......
Xu Zun was frightened, his wrist loosened, and he slipped off the rope.
Because it had just rained, the bottom of the well was full of wet silt, Xu Zun didn't know the depth, he fell on it and hit a stumble, and he was about to fall.
As a result, Ani's eyes were quick, and she hugged Xu Zun in her arms, and a beautiful woman came to save the hero.
"Be careful, sir."
Ani straightened Xu Zun, but she couldn't say anything, and she heard the sound of a fight somewhere at the bottom of the well becoming more intense.
It seems that Zhao Yu and the others have already made a move with the people inside......
Jingle ......
The sound of weapons colliding was unusually clear under the deep ancient well.
I followed the reputation, but I saw a hole in the wall of the well under the ancient well, and there was a faint light from the hole, and the figure under the light flickered.
"!" Suddenly, Zhao Yu shouted from inside, "Catch me alive, I can't let him die!" ”
At this moment, Li Xing and the other guards had also rushed in, and the fighting suddenly escalated.
Ani carried the sword and went in, but she was worried that Xu Zun would lose, so she didn't dare to move.
"Ani!" Xu Zun ordered, "Let's go, let's go in too!" ”
After receiving the order, Ani lowered her head and drilled into the hole, and Xu Zun followed closely.
Inside was a dilapidated and damp hallway.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two entered, they saw Ah Xiu Tsai holding his shoulders and falling in the corner of the corridor, and blood was gushing out of the hand holding his shoulder......
"Ah Xiu Zai......" Ani shouted.
At the very same moment, the lights in the depths of the corridor suddenly went out!
"Damn! How? Zhao Yu shouted, "Fire sickle, fire sickle, ...... quickly"
Click, click......
As the fire scythe struck, the inside flashed again.
"What about people? Fast...... Find ......."
Hearing that something had happened inside, Ani immediately took a step back and protected Xu Zun again.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came out of it.
And the sound of the fight also came to an abrupt end.
After a while, Zhao Yu drooped his head and came out depressedly to report to Xu Zun: "My lord, the villain is not doing well, and he was run away by that person!" ”
What!?
Xu Zun first squatted down, checked Ah Xiuzai's injury, and after seeing that he was fine, he entered along the corridor inside.
But I saw that there was an iron door in the depths of the corridor, and inside the iron door was a secret room that had obviously been repaired.
The secret room is divided into two rooms, the outside is an office study, and the inside is a bedroom.
At this moment, blood was dripping on the floor of the study, and I saw a person dressed in the official mansion of the Ministry of Industry lying in a pool of blood, already lifeless.
Xu Zun recognized at a glance that this person was Shi Chun, the general of the Ministry of Water Resources!
"This ......" Xu Zun was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" Who was that guy just now? ”
"Yes......" Zhao Yu looked like a child who had made a mistake, bowed his head and said, "It's Cao Ding's housekeeper, this guy is so powerful, no wonder even Dongfang Shenzhu was almost killed by him......"
"Damn!" Xu Zun scolded, "What about people!? ”
"Originally, we already had the upper hand," Zhao Yu said, "We have already been stabbed several times, but I didn't expect that he actually extinguished the oil lamp, and after the light was turned on, it disappeared......
Hearing this, Ani immediately rushed into the bedroom, but saw that one side of the wall of the bedroom was open, and it was clearly a secret door.
At this moment, Li Xingzheng was standing inside the secret door with a knife, looking at the situation inside and frowning.
Apparently, the butler had escaped from here.
When Xu Zun entered the bedroom, he only felt a cool breeze coming, and instinctively felt that it was not simple behind the secret door.
Sure enough, when he approached the secret door and looked down, he was deeply surprised!
But I saw that behind the secret door was a bottomless ravine, and I held a torch to shine down, but I saw that the ravines were all made of big bluestones, although I could only see a small part of it by the light, but I could already feel the grandeur of this deep ravine!
Oh, my God!
The ravine is about two meters wide and bottomless, a veritable abyss.
The damp and cold wind blew from below, making Xu Zun shudder and his heart furious.
"Huh? Isn't that right? Ani looked up and down and asked curiously, "There is no road here at all, what about people?" ”
"He ......" At this time, Li Xing gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "He jumped down!" ”
What!!?
The crowd was amazed.
"Yes," Li Xing said affirmatively, "I saw it, he did jump!" ”
"No...... Wrong! Ani immediately shook her head, "This doesn't make sense, there is a deep ditch behind the secret door, so what's the point of building this secret door?" ”
Everyone was talking, and Xu Zun stared at the abyss under the ravine in a daze.
Before, he only learned from Chen Taiji that Xuanmiao City was a six-fold ancient capital, and the ruins of the ancient city were pressed under the capital.
But I never imagined that it would be so large-scale!
Tighten such a ravine, it will be like an abyss!
"Come on, come on...... Let it, let it ......" At this time, Zhao Yu picked up a stone from nowhere and immediately threw it into the ravine.
Everyone listened intently, and after a few seconds, there was a faint thud below.
There is water!
Everyone soon realized that this might be an ancient aqueduct.
"Oh...... My lord ......" Ah Xiu staggered into the bedroom with his shoulders covered, and said to Xu Zun, "I was incompetent, and I was discovered by them!" ”
"Ah Xiu Zai," Xu Zun remembered what happened just now, and hurriedly asked, "What happened just now?" ”
"I saw that Shi Chun had fallen into the dry well and had not come up for a long time, so I went separately with Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao went to report the news, and I followed him down to the well." "When I followed up, I heard someone talking inside, so I eavesdropped outside.
"I heard that one of the two people inside was Shi Chun, and the other was Cao Ding's housekeeper.
"I knew that the stakes were high, so I didn't dare to move, but I never expected that the two of them would have an argument, and the sword suddenly broke through the door and exposed me, so I fought with the butler......
"I didn't expect that the housekeeper's martial arts are very high, and he is not an opponent, so he stabbed a sword, fortunately, Lord Zhao rushed over at this time, and this is what happened just now!"
"Dispute......" Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "Why did they have a quarrel and have to fight for their lives?" ”
