In the stuffy secret room, the heat is steaming, making it difficult to breathe.

The people trapped here are squatting on the ground, some constantly undressing, some constantly wiping their sweat with their wet clothes.

Sima Xin squatted somewhere at the entrance with his head downcast, looking like he had nothing to love.

Yes, the idea of "negotiation" that he proposed earlier was obviously unrealizable.

There was a fire burning outside, and as soon as the stone door was opened, there would either be a flurry of arrows outside, or a large number of soldiers would rush in, or something like a fireball, and he would not be allowed to go out to negotiate.

Things have developed to this point, and the one thing Ning Zangfeng wants to do most is to kill Xu Zhen and the others.

Otherwise, he would not have ordered the fire.

There's no way, there's really no way!

The trapped beasts are still fighting, but even if they want to fight now, they can't fight at all, and all that is left for them is to sit and wait for death.

"Boss," at this moment, Jing Liang and a few other surviving catchers came to Dongfang Meiyan, and said resolutely, "As soon as the door opens later, a few of us will rush out first to attract firepower, and then you will go out again, and strive to break out of the encirclement......"

Jing Liang's meaning is that a few of them will be cannon fodder and fight for opportunities for Dongfang Meiyan.

"No," Dongfang Meiyan decisively vetoed, "If we come together, we have to go together." ”

"Boss," Jing Liang was anxious, "there is no other way!" ”

"No," Dongfang Meiyan was extremely resolute, "Don't say it again, that lieutenant surnamed Ning knows my details, and there must be a net outside, even if you cover desperately, I won't be able to rush out!"

"And, then, everyone here will ...... too."

As she spoke, she looked at the people in the secret room, her eyes gradually dimming.

"It doesn't matter," said the old mother, who shook her head and sighed, "Anyway, you will die, and you can do whatever you want." Just ......"

Despite this, it can be seen from her stunned eyes that she still has one more thing on her mind that she can't let go.

At this moment, Dongfang Meiyan found that Xu Zhen was not in her sight, and looked up, only to see that Xu Zhen was still checking every corner of the secret room.

He vigorously removed the bookshelves or bookcases, and then carefully examined the walls behind him.

"It's useless," said Reihime, "I've been here for almost ten years, and it's clear that there is no secret passage here." ”

"Old mother," Xu Zhen asked from a distance when he heard Lian Ji's words, "There are so many blowholes in the secret room, where do they lead?" ”

"Well...... "I don't know, do I, I have to block them too?" ”

Who knows, after asking, Xu Zhen gave up observation and walked back slowly.

"Old Mother," he asked, looking around the chamber, "when was this chamber built?" Why was it built above ground and not underground? ”

"Well...... this one," said after a careful recollection, "This is the place where important documents are stored, because the documents are more important, so they can't be built underground, they should be afraid of the tide and seepage, right?"

"Well, I really don't know when it was built, and even less where those bloads lead! How to ......"

Lian Ji found that Xu Zhen frowned thoughtfully.

And Dongfang Meiyan and Sima Xin had seen Xu Zhen in such a posture several times, and they all stood up immediately.

"Xu Zhen," Dongfang Meiyan urged, "Do you have a way?" Say, do you need to tear down the wall, we can try! ”

"Yes, yes," Sima Xin echoed, "tell us quickly, do you suspect that there is a secret passage here?" ”

"Old mother," Xu Zhen asked another question as he turned to the mercy of him, "Let me ask you, who else knows about this secret room besides you?" ”

"Huh? Well...... "Pity Ji was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and replied, "Except for me, there are only four people who know where the secret room is, and they ...... Hmmm......"

As she spoke, she looked at the two remaining Jinjuin men.

Two of his subordinates were also dry, and one of them said, "Pavilion Master, now there are only two of us left!" ”

"That'...... What about the other two? Xu Zhen asked.

"It should ...... I guess I died in battle, right? The other party replied.

"Are you sure?" Xu Zhen asked again.

"No...... It seems like...... Hmmm......" The two Concert House agents hesitated, apparently the answer was no, they were not sure of the fate of the other two.

"I'm the last one to come in, there shouldn't be anyone alive outside!" After Dongfang Meiyan interjected, she turned to Xu Zhen, "Xu Zhen, why are you asking this?" ”

"Well," Xu Zhen thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I already have a way!" ”

"Huh?" Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Xu Zhen's eyes were resolute, and he said one word categorically: "Wait!" ”

Yes?

Everyone turned from joy to surprise, but they didn't expect Xu Zhen to say such a word.

"There was a fire burning outside, but not a single air hole was coming through the smoke." Xu Zhen began to explain, "This secret room is next to the kitchen of the demon building in front, and the back is connected to a private house, which is obviously covered by a private house.

"Because the front is next to the kitchen, the secret room naturally had to be built with fire prevention in mind at the beginning, so I concluded that there must be a hollow wall outside the secret room, so ...... We will not be burned to death by fire. ”

Oh......

Hearing Xu Zhen's words, everyone's hearts were slightly relieved.

"The stomata are not smoking," Xu Zhen said again, "It means that the stomata are connected to the ground outside, at least, we are not suffocated." So...... We just need to – wait! ”

"Wait...... But ......" Sima Xin felt inappropriate, but he had nothing to say.

"I see," said Lian Ji, who had already understood, "We know that there is no exit in the secret room, but Ning Zangfeng outside does not, so he may have thought that we had already escaped along the secret passage!" ”

"Oh......" Sima Xin suddenly realized.

In this way, everyone realized that in fact, the most difficult situation now was Ning Zangfeng outside.

Ning Zangfeng's identity has been exposed, his task of "finding the container" can no longer be completed, and Fang Wuzhi cannot be found, which can be described as an extreme failure.

In addition, he has worked hard for many years, and those spies and masters who have been ambushed and installed in Daguan City are now dead, and they are naturally suffering huge losses.

With such a bad performance, no matter what force he represents, his boss will definitely not be able to spare him, so I'm afraid there is not much time left for him!

Now, the only thing he can do is to kill Xu Zhen and the others as soon as possible.

However, he wasn't sure if there were any other passages in the secret room, and would Xu Zhen and the others have already run away along the passages?

It is conceivable that the current Ning Zangfeng must be as anxious as ants in a hot pot.

In this case, Xu Zhen's decision is obviously the most reasonable.

They only need to wait, they only need to consume, and they can use the weapon of "time" to counterattack Ning Zangfeng!

After sorting out the stakes, everyone was relieved.

Although they knew that after the fire attack, Ning Zangfeng would inevitably have to smash the wall and demolish the house, but for the sake of now, they could only wait with peace of mind.

"Old mother," Sima Xin thought of a question, and asked Mercy Ji, "Do you have dry food in this secret room?" ”

She didn't answer, just shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

"Won't it?" Sima Xin grinned, "Next to the kitchen, there is no dry food saved." Since you don't cook, why put a saliva tank? ”

"Fire prevention." Recy replied.

"It's okay," Dongfang Meiyan pointed to the water tank, "as long as there is water, it will be okay to support it for ten days and a half months." ”

Hearing this, Sima Xin could only grin again.

"Xu Zhen," and at this time, Lian Ji finally asked Xu Zhen the most important question for her, "Can you really guarantee that Fang Wuzhi is safe?" ...... the hell Where did he hide him? ”
