Chapter 222: The Chamber of Secrets (1)
The three pro-soldiers turned into the courtyard, and just saw Zhao Xiyan's master and servant being carried into the house. Six women of different ages rushed over with murderous expressions on their faces. All of them are quite weak.
"Quickly release the signal." The two pro-soldiers struggled to resist, chanting as they spoke.
Xu Qiliu, the leader of the small leader, quickly took out a black ball from his sleeve and threw it into the air. The orb made a strange noise and burst open in midair, emitting a blazing white light.
As soon as they see this signal, the soldiers in the nearby streets of Fang City will immediately rush over.
Xu Qiliu threw out three in succession, making sure that he could see them within a radius of thirty miles, before he pulled out the long knife with a calm face.
Those women were very ruthless. Xu Qiliusan didn't dare to be careless, one person resisted two, and he couldn't rush in for a while.
With a scream, a woman was stabbed in the abdomen, bleeding profusely.
That woman was also ruthless, regardless of her own knife, she suddenly pounced and wanted to die with Xu Qiliu. Xu Qiliu calmly frowned, waved his long knife, and simply slashed the woman under the knife. He kicked another woman six feet away and rushed into the house.
The situation immediately reversed. Replace it with two pro-soldiers pestering each other.
The house was so big, Xu Qiliu rushed into the east wing first. At a glance, I saw the portrait next to the dressing mirror, and the face of the young man who spurred the horse was so familiar.
Xu Qiliu's eyes turned red instantly, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.
Zhao Xiyan is indeed under house arrest here.
He wiped his eyes vigorously and rushed to the west wing.
As soon as the door opened, a sharp sword stabbed silently. Xu Qiliu narrowly avoided the past, and another long sword came.
There were two people in ambush here.
Xu Qiliu's skills can rank in the top ten among the pro-soldiers, and the combination of these two women is not his opponent. However, it was more than enough for them to keep him here.
Oh no, there must be a secret passage in this house. They want to hide Miss Zhao's master and servant in a secret passage and take them away.
Xu Qiliu's heart sank, and the long knife in his hand became more and more powerful.
After a short fierce confrontation, the woman fell, and Xu Qiliu was also hit by a sword, and the blood flowing from her waist and abdomen quickly soaked her clothes, staining a large area of blood.
Xu Qiliu didn't say a word, continued to swing the knife, fought on his left shoulder and hit another sword, killing another woman with one sword.
From rushing into the house to now, it is only two sticks of incense.
Xu Qiliu ignored the severity of his injuries, and he didn't even have the time to bandage and dress, so he searched all the empty rooms in the house.
Zhao Xiyan and the hosta disappeared as if out of thin air.
A familiar voice rang out in the courtyard.
It's reinforcements coming.
A group of three people, plus Xu Qiliu and a total of six, quickly subdued the remaining women. The other party died three dead and wounded five.
Before he could ask, another group of people came.
The person who came turned out to be Xu San.
Seeing the golden hairpin on the ground and the portrait of Xu Jing in the house, Xu San's eyes turned red.
I finally found Miss Zhao.
Xu Qiliu was covered in blood, and Xu San's eyes swept away: "You go to bandage and dress." Then he instructed one of his soldiers to question, and he led the rest of the men to carefully search for the entrance to the secret passage.
The room was searched room by room, the walls were knocked one by one, and the utility room and clean room must not be spared. Even thatched huts have to be searched carefully.
Half an hour later, the soldiers from within thirty miles arrived.
In the small house, nearly thirty people gathered.
"Xu San, the people of the Terracotta Division were alarmed. It's already outside the house. A pro-soldier whispered.
Xu San said coldly: "Send them away." Let's just say that a precious object was lost in the palace, and we traced the whereabouts of the thief and traced it here. ”
"What about the families in Hulu Lane?"
"Go search. Perhaps, the exit of the secret passage is in these houses. ”
"Today, I will search this alley to the bottom of the sky, and I will also rescue Miss Zhao."
……
The two secret guards, carrying the unconscious Zhao Xiyan hosta master and servant respectively, walked forward in the secret passage a few feet below.
This house was bought by Childe a year ago. It is not easy to dig a secret passage under a private house. Therefore, this secret passage is very narrow.
The entrance to the secret passage is on the wall of the well in the backyard, and the secret passage is hundreds of meters away. The exit is a house, two streets away from it, which is used to confuse the public and hide people's eyes.
The most ingenious thing is that there is also a secret passage hidden in the secret passage, and the secret room is below the secret passage halfway.
The two guards bowed down and entered the real secret passage, smearing the wall a few times, and the door closed silently.
The next passage became narrower and narrower. They walked a few steps with their heads bowed before they reached the secret room.
There are several vents in this chamber, and people are not bored in it. There is no need for oil lamps and candles here, and a few night pearls worth thousands of gold are randomly embedded in the wall, shining brightly.
The secret room is about five meters long and four meters wide, and contains a large bed, a table and two chairs, some snacks and dry food for wrapping in the stomach, and a bucket of water. You can hide here for three to five days.
It was only at this point that the two secret guards breathed a sigh of relief. Each of them placed the person on his back on the bed.
"What do we do now?" A dark guard with a few black moles on his face had a sad face.
The other secret guard was quite tall, and his expression was much calmer: "What are you afraid of." We have to send out the message every day. If there is no news out, it means that something has happened. At most, one day, Childe will send someone. ”
The black mole secret guard sighed again, looked at Zhao Xiyan who was unconscious on the bed, and said in a low voice: "This Zhao Sixth girl is really a disaster. Childe is so wise and powerful, this time she is really dizzy for her. ”
"It doesn't matter if a few of us live or die, when the master comes back, the son is so good at asserting the use of secret guards, the master will definitely be angry."
The tall dark guard was expressionless: "We do what we are told, and we will do whatever the son tells us." Don't talk about this nonsense out of tune. ”
Zhao Xiyan's master and servant on the bed didn't wake up, and the black mole secret guard sat down on the chair: "We can't do anything now, just stay here!" If Childe comes first, we still have a chance to live, and if we are found by the personal soldiers of the prince of Beihai, the two of us will be dead. ”
The tall dark guard still looked cold: "Hmm." ”
The day is dead.
The Black Mole Guard rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Time slipped by little by little.
Zhao Xiyan's fingers moved. Immediately afterwards, the hosta also woke up, stretched out her hand to cover the back of her head, and shouted before she opened her eyes: "Save the girl!" ”
Zhao Xiyan opened his eyes, endured the pain in the back of his neck, and reached out to hold the hosta's hand: "Hosta." ”
The hosta opened her eyes hurriedly, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Miss, they have found it, and they are going to save us out." ”
Zhao Xiyan smiled in his eyes: "Yes." ”
