Chapter 14: The Chamber of Secrets

South of the city, Qingshui Lane.

Xu Chuan just found this, it took some effort, the alley mouth is extremely remote, and the entire Qingshui Alley is also deserted, and there is no one to see.

Following the road, it didn't take long to find the corresponding door.

The old wooden door can still be seen in the red paint of the past, and the iron lock on the door looks like it has been around for some years.

I opened the door with the key given by the proprietress lightly, and after stepping through the threshold, I found that this was really a good place to hide.

The outer yard is overgrown with weeds, and cobwebs are faintly visible inside the house.

But the question is, in such a place, how to read a book.

And, in this kind of place, there will be books?

With suspicion, he covered his mouth and nose and went to the study.

The study looked cleaner, but it wasn't much better, and the shelves were empty, and there weren't a single book at all.

But he didn't think the proprietress would be looking for a place to trick him.

There's definitely something hidden in it.

With this in mind, he looked left and right for a long time, and then he found a shallow groove on the top side of the bookshelf.

I patted the dust on the groove with my sleeve, and I saw that the groove was exactly the shape of a key.

Xu Chuan's heart moved, took out the key given by the boss lady and put it on.

There is a tight fit between the key and the groove, and there is hardly any gap.

Three seconds later, there was a click, and a three-foot-square wall tile next to the bookshelf slowly sank to the ground, revealing a stone staircase that led to the darkness underground.

Looking at these, Xu Chuan's mouth opened wide in shock.

What the hell is this lady doing, doctor? Secret agent?

Is there such a hidden talent in Qingyu Nian?

He removed the key to the chamber and walked down the stone staircase, and after a few seconds, the boom, the floor-level wall tiles rose again, perfectly concealing all traces.

After a few seconds of walking, we reached the end.

Click!

He seemed to have stepped on some mechanism, and with the sound of gears turning, a flame suddenly ignited in the darkness.

The oil lamps lit up spontaneously, and immediately, a huge secret room came into view.

Not to mention the large space in this secret room, the dry food and water prepared in the corner of the light are roughly estimated to be enough for at least two or three people to eat for a year.

As you can see, this is an extremely well-prepared and intricately constructed shelter.

Many of these institutions are at least a hundred years ahead of the present era.

He remembered the Celestial Veiners he had mentioned in the original books.

In the final analysis, in this world, whether it is Ye Qingmei or Fan Xian, they must be attributed to the Heavenly Veiners.

The Celestial Veiners have inherited the knowledge of prehistoric civilizations, and they are the only ones who can bring things beyond cognition to this era again and again.

Could it be that the proprietress is actually related to a celestial pulse in mechanical engineering? Or is she just a hidden celestial veiner?

Sure enough, the real world is far more complicated than in the novel, especially the places that the protagonist has not touched, even if he is familiar with what happened in Qing Yu Nian's novel, he can't fully understand everything in this real world.

Xu Chuan picked up a gourd of well-sealed and treated water, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, this kind of world is more interesting, isn't it?

As for the proprietress, nowadays, the more mysterious and powerful she is, the better it will be for him, so why should he bother to explore the identity of the proprietress?

Sitting quietly in the secret room, he no longer thought about the boss's wife, but began to think about the details of the Qinghong Gang.

At present, it is known that there is the leader of the Qinghong Gang, Tie Wuya, he is a seven-rank master, and his brother Nanling County Shou Chengchuan's strength is unknown, and the strength of his command is unknown, and similarly, the strength of Tie Wuya's command is also unknown.

But, if Xiao Jiu didn't hear it wrong.

It shows that Cheng Chuan is probably not the only one behind this iron boundlessness.

You must know that although Cheng Chuan, who is the county guard of Nanling County, has a high status, it is impossible for him to have any intersection with the princess of Qi State.

Not to mention wanting to take the initiative to kill the princess of a country.

Therefore, there is a high probability that there is another person who instructed Tie Wuya to assassinate the princess.

Of course, with the strength of the Iron Boundless Seven Pins, it is probably not enough to be the main force to assassinate the princess, but as a participant, I barely have this qualification.

Therefore, this behind-the-scenes commander is only afraid of a lot of background.

However, since Tie Wuya was the younger brother of the county guard of Nanling County of Qi State, it was unlikely that he would do anything for Qingguo.

In this case, the person who assigned Tie Wuya to assassinate the princess of Qi is likely to be the high-level of Qi State, but it is unknown what role Tie Wuya's elder brother, Nanling County Shou Cheng Chuan, played in this.

He didn't think about it deeply, because he still knew too little about the Qi Kingdom, not to mention, whether their conspiracies were or not, or whether the princess was dead or alive, had nothing to do with him.

What he needs to think about now is to rescue the children who were abducted by the Qinghong Gang, of course, it is best to completely destroy the Qinghong Gang.

The former is easy to say, but the latter is a bit fantastical.

You must know that even if you don't consider the power behind the scenes of the Qinghong Gang, what is just on the table is an unshakable behemoth for him.

Tie Wuya is a seventh-grade master, and there may not be a master of the same level under his command, but he must have several fifth-grade and sixth-grade masters.

Xu Chuan has been practicing swords behind closed doors for three years, and he knows that he should be a third grade according to the records on the sword technique, but he has not had a duel between real martial artists.

Three years ago, when the temple was broken, Zhang Ping's strength in his current vision is at most a second grade, and he may have built up his body method, and the others are not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, that battle could not be used as a reference at all to make a rehearsal of the dangers he might encounter.

To sum up, the risks of this trip are uncertain, the difficulty is unknown, and the future is uncertain.

In the whole world, looking around, he has nothing, and the only thing he can rely on is probably the sword in his hand that has accompanied him for three years.

...

In the middle of the day, Xu Chuan left the dark room and prepared for action.

Xiao Ba Xiaojiu is not all new injuries, almost half of the parts are old injuries, so even on weekdays, the Qinghong Gang is probably beating and scolding them, and the methods are cruel.

Maybe that's why they are so well-behaved.

After all, he promised Xiaoba Xiaojiu to rescue the girl named Xiaoqi, and he didn't want to break his trust and be the one who broke his promise.

What's more, if they don't take advantage of the disappearance of the old tooth and beard before they arouse the vigilance of the Qinghong Gang, and then when they notice that someone is beating them, they will be vigilant, and it will be difficult to do it again.

However, before the operation began, it took him two hours to familiarize himself with the entire Fenghui City, especially the distance from the Qinghong Gang to Qingshui Lane.

He knew that it was almost impossible to exterminate the Qinghong Gang in this operation, and it would already be a great gain to save more children.

But after the rescue, it is not the end, but the beginning of real danger.

He had to carefully arrange a suitable retreat route before he could retreat with his whole body.

After familiarizing himself with the route and determining the general plan, he quietly climbed through the two-meter-high wall according to his memories and infiltrated the Qinghong Gang.
