Chapter 244: Secret Path

"It's terrible enough," on the way to the Temple of General Daye, Xu Zun couldn't help but say with emotion, "If such a person is used by bad people and is not good for the imperial court, then it will not be good!" ”

"My lord, you don't have to worry too much," Zhao Yu said on the side, "A master like Yue Jinglei can't find a few in the entire Great Xuan.

"Besides, if you can practice peerless martial arts, most of these people are strong-willed people and will not be easily bewitched."

"That's true," Dongfang Enchanted said, "The reason why the Queen Mother established the Divine Capture Division was to recruit these masters of the rivers and lakes and let them serve the imperial court.

But today, there are very few masters who are willing to contribute to the imperial court.

"But then again...... There are not many who are against the imperial court, especially the top masters. ”

"Tsk......" At this time, Ani interjected, "I'm really curious, that female ghost, oh no...... Our bitter mother, is it really the opponent of this Yue Jinglei? ”

"Well...... everyone's estimates, and obviously no one can give an answer.

"By the way," Dongfang Enchanting was curious, "I don't know what kind of character the woman Yue Jinglei said is?" ”

"Oh, a friend." Xu Zun gave a vague answer.

"What do you say...... Huo Anu knew Xu Zun's mind best, and knew that Xu Zun didn't want to mention the bitter mother more, so he changed the topic and asked, "Could this Yue Jinglei's sudden appearance be related to the case we are going to handle now?" Isn't that a coincidence? ”

"Probably not," Dongfang bewitched thought, "If he is really from the Xuanmen, how can he be so flamboyant?" ”

"Yes," Zhao Yu echoed, "In my opinion, this Yue Jinglei is still a rule, if it is really unfavorable to us, I'm afraid it will ...... Alas......"

"Won't it?" Huo Anu was obviously unconvinced, "Do you mean that there were so many of us just now, and it was impossible to capture him?" ”

"It's hard for me to say if I can beat him or not," Zhao Yu replied, "but if you really want to catch him, you will never be able to do it."

"As the saying goes, if there is no diamond, he can't do porcelain work, if he is not absolutely sure, it is impossible for him to choose to meet Lord Xu at the gate of the Neiwei Mansion!"

"Then ......," Huo Anu said worriedly, "Lord Xu, do you really want Ku Niang to compete with him?" ”

"Hehe," Xu Zun smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I have the ability to order Ku Niang?" As I just said, I'm only responsible for getting the word across. If you can't fight or not, I can't call the shots! ”

While they were talking, as the carriage stopped, everyone had already come to the back of the Temple of General Daye.

After getting out of the car, I saw a row of dilapidated bungalows behind the General's Temple, with seals on them.

Obviously, this is where the underground entrance is located.

Zhao Yu opened the door first, but saw that the beams inside had collapsed, dilapidated, and there was garbage everywhere.

"Come with me, in the innermost part."

Dongfang Enchanted spoke, and immediately led everyone into the depths.

Beside them, there were guards holding torches, and everyone walked through the houses until they came to the innermost one.

It used to be a place of worship, with broken portraits hanging on the front wall and a collapsed shrine.

Looking next to the shrine, there is a thick mound of earth mixed with bricks.

"Huh!?" At first glance, when he saw the mound, Dongfang Enchanted said in surprise, "This...... This place has been sealed before, this is ......"

Xu Zun stepped forward and quickly smelled a fresh smell of earth, it was obvious that these soil had been dug up not long ago.

Next to the mound, there was a large hole that had been dug up, and the inside of the hole was pitch black and bottomless.

"Special Envoy Xu," Dongfang Enchanted said excitedly, "it seems that we have found the right place, and this must have been dug up by the Xuanmen Rebel Party." ”

"Yes," Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, "going down from here, it's very close to the palace, maybe you can really find them!" ”

"It's very deep down here," said Dongfang Enchanting, "when this place was first sealed, those gamblers made a rope ladder, and it felt like it was three or four feet long.

"There are big bricks down there, like tunnels, but ......," she reminded, "there are a lot of forks in the road below, and it's easy to get lost if you go wrong, so we still have to be prepared to go down......

……

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

At the beginning of Yin, the people of the Divine Capture Division arrived with equipment, about twenty or thirty people, plus the Inner Guard Mansion, a total of forty people were ready to dive underground.

They brought not only rope hooks and weapons, but also pine oil torches, compasses, and some dry food and water.

No one knows when they will have to go down this time?

Dongfang Enchanting wanted to go down in person, but due to serious injuries, she could only wait outside.

Xu Zun asked Huo Anu and Hou Zhen to stay outside, while he asked Zhao Yu and Ani to follow him into the underground to check.

Someone from the Divine Catcher Division had gone down before, so he led the way at the front.

As the rope descended, Xu Zun entered the pitch-black underground.

Three zhang is equal to ten meters, and Xu Zun feels that he has descended to fourteen or fifteen meters.

The bottom is indeed paved with green bricks, and its material is similar to the culvert found under the dry well of Shi Chun's house before, but it is drier than there.

"Adults be careful......"

At this time, the voice of the passerby was heard in front, and it turned out that after descending to the bottom, the aisle became extremely narrow, and even a slightly fatter person could not pass through.

Everyone was holding torches, and coupled with the large number of people, the space was even more cramped.

However, after passing the narrow passage, the situation improved slightly, but the tunnel was still too narrow to breathe.

In this way, everyone walked around the tunnel, and I don't know how long they walked, and finally came to a more spacious place.

But I saw that there were huge stone pillars and beams collapsing here and there, and the stone pillars and beams intersected, forming several open spaces.

Ooh......

Xu Zun felt incredible, but judging from these stone pillars and beams, they were by no means used in ordinary buildings.

Sure enough, there were people in front of the Divine Catcher who were talking about it, saying that these stone pillars and beams came from the palace of a certain dynasty.

Passing through these spaces, there are more and more forks in the road, and almost everywhere is passable.

"My lord, my lord......" At this time, Xu Zun, a catcher of the Divine Capture Division, shouted to the front of the team, pointed to the mark on the ground and said, "Look, the footprints here are all fresh, indicating that someone has been here recently!" ”

Under the illumination of the torches, Xu Zun saw that there were indeed some footprints on the ground.

According to his experience, the footprints were a mess, large and small, and apparently more than one person.

Moreover, those smaller footprints seem to have been left by women.

Woman......

It seems that it should be a female assassin?

Seeing that the footprints might have been left by the Xuanmen rebels, everyone became more and more excited, and immediately chased them down in the direction of the footprints.

Turning around these places where the stone pillars and beams are elevated, and not far ahead, a damp cool breeze blows in front of you.

This felt familiar, and sure enough, after walking for dozens of meters, a bottomless ravine appeared in front of me.

Looking down, it was the same as what I had seen in the dry well secret room before, all of which were culverts and ditches made of large bluestones.

However, the ditch here is badly damaged, and there are many boulders and beams in between.

Seeing this, the people of the Divine Catcher Division immediately prepared to rappel the rope.

"Wait," Xu Zun reminded, "look for them first and see if they have left any traces?" ”

Hearing the warning, everyone immediately searched carefully along the edge.

When Xu Zun turned around, he saw a familiar figure, but he saw that Ku Niang had already appeared behind him at some point......
