Chapter 062 [Sharp Guan Yu]
The Assassin League guards swung their shovels, and after a while they had dug a small pit in the loose soil. Half a moment later, one of the guards excitedly shouted, "The little one has been dug up." ”
Liu Bei eagerly moved the torch closer, and Xu Shu lay down and picked up the loose soil with both hands, gradually revealing a skull. The frightened Xu Shu fell backwards, and the guards were also surprised.
Liu Bei pressed the horror in his heart, and ordered: "Keep digging." ”
"This ......" the guards waved their shovels. Although they are accustomed to killing, disturbing the ancestors who have entered the earth will invite misfortune. The people in the rivers and lakes believe in this set the most.
Guan Yu said: "Dig quickly." Below may be the treasure. ”
Against the treasure, the guards were ruthless, continued to dig, and immediately the earth flew up. As a result, one skeleton after another was found. Liu Bei, who watched it, sighed. It is speculated that these deceased were all craftsmen who built this majestic underground palace.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Rang asked in the back. Since he fled the mansion last night, he has contacted the members of the Assassin League in the city, calming the hearts of the people and stopping an operation that has thrown themselves into the net. In order to find the holy decree as soon as possible, he sneaked into the palace of King Xiao in the dark and asked if there was any new news about the defeated Jin. I didn't want to see the guards gathered around, so I shouted angrily.
"What are you digging with a shovel? Where's the lost money? Zhang Rang asked again. The guards were taken aback and explained, "Lord Defeated Jin is doing business in the stone chamber, and the new Lord asked us to dig up the treasure. I didn't expect it to be all bones. ”
Zhang Rang took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a corpse, and asked, "Where did the new adult come from?" ”
The guards searched around, but they couldn't find it. "I was here just now."
"! I never ordered anyone else to come. But you have relied on others for your good deeds, and you will be punished with a month's worth of money. It's all packed up for Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu said that there is no treasure here! Zhang Rang cursed and walked towards the stone room. Entering the stone room, Zhang Rang shouted: "Defeat gold!" Defeat the gold! ”
There was only an echo in the stone room, and I saw that the door curtain was shattered, and it was thrown to the ground in a mess. I immediately became suspicious in my heart, and when I looked into the back room, I saw that Defeated Jin and Xiao Dali were tied to the stone couch, their eyes wide open, and they couldn't speak. Zhang Rang stepped forward to take out the rags in the mouth of the defeated gold, and the defeated gold shouted: "My lord, spare my life!" ”
"What's going on? Who broke in? ”
"Liu Bei broke in with two people." Defeat shouted.
When Zhang Rang heard Liu Bei's words, he immediately turned around and flashed out of the stone room, and did not loosen the ties between them, and immediately gathered all the guards in the basement, a total of 100 people. Seal off exits and search everywhere. However, after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it. Upon closer inspection, there was another leak: the dark passage through which the bones were excavated.
Zhang Rang didn't say a word, and immediately led people to search with torches.
At this time, Liu Bei and the three of them were walking in the dark passage. When Zhang Rang was drinking behind the guards, Liu Bei recognized from his voice that he was the murderer who robbed bamboo slips on the street that day. immediately pulled Guan Xu and the others to hide quietly in the guards, and slowly retreated to the underworld.
"Fortunately, the adults are sharp-eyed, otherwise we would have been captured now." Xu Shu walked in the dark.
"It's pitch black, you can't see anything. It's better not to go. Anyway, it's a dead end ahead. Guan Yu stopped.
"The real culprit can't find us elsewhere, and sooner or later he will find him. Let's get to the very back now and get some rest. After a while, there was inevitably a fierce battle. Liu Bei sighed and rested against the cave wall.
"Big brother, if you asked me to do it just now, maybe we would have gone out by now." Guan Yu was a little unconvinced.
This is true. You said it too, maybe it's true. You can fight, Xu Shu and I can't. When he and I are captured, you still have to be arrested? ”
Guan Yu felt that what he said was reasonable, and was silent for a while. The passage was extremely dark and strangely quiet, only the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat, which was more terrifying than hell.
"Although the air here is turbid, it is impossible to say anything if there is no place for ventilation in such a long passage." Xu Shu's words woke Liu Bei up. He immediately said: "I remember that the second brother saw the traces of excavation at the end of the passage. And this passage zigzags and goes straight up, and according to the depth of the basement, this passage should lead to the outside. It means that someone wants to dig it out from here. ”
Guan Yu said again: "Yes." How did we not think of it. Judging from the bones just now, it is very likely that this passage was dug by the buried craftsmen before their deaths. The reason why you keep going up is that it is an escape exit. If you dig further, you may dig outside. ”
Liu Bei also said: "It should be not far from the ground." We all know that earthworms live underground, which means that there is actually a small amount of air underground. And the reason why we breathe for so long without feeling tightness in our chests in this passage is because it is close to the ground and there is a small amount of air that exchanges with the outside world. ”
"Humble duty understood. This passage is not far from the ground. Xu Shu was overjoyed, and immediately said with a bitter face: "How can you dig without tools?" ”
"Hey, I've got it here." Liu Bei said and slammed the shovel in his hand on the cave wall, making a metallic sound.
"When did the eldest brother take it? Why didn't I notice? Guan Yu said happily.
"I wanted to use it as a defensive weapon, but I didn't expect it to be useful. Ha ha! But it's a strange cumbersome. Liu Bei laughed.
"No wonder something was dragging out of thin air just now, it turned out to be a shovel. Ha ha! Xu Shu said with a smile.
In the dark passage, the three of them laughed and hurried forward. They were to dig the entrance to the passage before the Assassins could find it. I don't know how long they walked, but the three of them came to the end. Guan Yu picked up the shovel and spread his arms and dug hard.
Half an hour later, footsteps and shouts rang out in the passage. Liu Bei exclaimed: "I chased after me so soon." ”
"How about Brother Guan, how much have you dug up?" Xu Shu asked hurriedly.
"It's not settled yet. Only dug a long distance. Guan Yu sighed.
Liu Bei secretly said that he had to hold back the Assassin League. "Second brother, let's dig it, you go and block the Assassin League. Can you be sure? ”
"In such a narrow range, no matter how many of them are, they can't exert an advantage." Guan Yu said as he handed the shovel to Liu Bei and touched it to the Assassin League alone.
He hadn't gone far before a dark light appeared in the passage outside the bend ahead. Guan Yu secretly thought that the passage was slightly higher than that of people, and immediately calculated it in his heart, and caught the other party off guard.
More than a dozen zhang away, Zhang Rang urged the defeated gold to move forward. Defeat Jin knew that the other party's red face was very bad, so he urged Xiao to move forward vigorously. Xiao Dali could not be delayed, and took the lead in the passage cautiously with torches and a few guards.
They all brought weapons, including bows and arrows, how to deal with Liu Bei and others, Zhang Rang had already thought about it. drove the other party to the end of the passage and arrested Liu Bei to change Jiaoshuo. If it really doesn't work, shoot them to relieve their hatred.
Defeated Jin said in his heart that he would fight together, so he went straight to Liu Bei and arrested Liu Bei, and the red face could only be captured, and he would make up for it.
The group slowly moved forward, their eyes glued to the darkness in front of them by the light of the torches, to prevent the other party from sneaking up. Especially when I was near the end, I was extra cautious and slowed down. They have a hundred people, and they believe that the other party is already a turtle in the urn, and victory does not have to be fought for a moment. Because "victory" can't run away.
The group came to a corner, and they all stared calmly at the possible sneak attack ahead. The defeated gold pushed Xiao Dali, and Xiao Dali had to move forward slowly. He secretly said that if there was a sneak attack, he would be the first to be hit, so he was extra careful.
First, move the torch as far forward as possible and take care of the bend. Then the head tilted back, slowly probing over the inflection point. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that there was nothing after the inflection point. He beckoned behind him, "Everything is normal. ”
Defeated Jin secretly said that Liu Bei and the others might have escaped. We're still here to frighten ourselves, it's a little too stupid. Reluctantly followed Xiao Dali.
At this moment, above their heads, Guan Yu was supporting the left and right walls with his limbs, clinging to the roof of the cave. The long beard was already hidden in his underwear, not for fear of hanging down and exposing his target, but for fear of being burned by the hot smoke of the torches.
Dan Feng observed the pedestrians under him, and secretly rejoiced that they were all scaring soldiers. When I saw the arrow traps behind them, my heart sank, and I must grab a few of them to guard this corner and block them here. At the same time, seeing Zhang Rang's steady pace, he only said that the other party was a good player.
At this moment, Guan Yu did not hesitate any longer, his feet loosened, his body naturally drooped, and he immediately stepped on the defeated gold under his feet, and at the same time, the tiger fist attacked, knocking over the two guards behind the defeated gold.
The guards were attacked by this surprise and immediately retreated in a panic. Xiao Dali, who was walking in front, only heard the sound of whirring wind behind him, and was about to turn back, Guan Yu kicked it vigorously, and Xiao Dali's head slammed into the cave wall, * burst out, and died on the spot. Guan Yu didn't stop for a moment, stepped forward with both feet, and instantly killed the three guards walking behind Xiao Dali. Defeated Jin was about to stand up and flee, Guan Yu turned around and spun out a kick, and Defeated Jin's big head turned around his neck a few times, whining and mourning!
In the blink of an eye, five people have been killed. The swiftness of the action and the sharpness of the attack made the Assassin League guards amazed and did not dare to step forward to fight. Zhang Rang felt even more glad when he saw it, if he attacked not the defeated gold but himself, I am afraid it would not be much better than the defeated gold.
Guan Yu flashed back to the corner, dragged Xiao Dali's corpse that fell at the inflection point, and avoided the corner with the arrow holster and longbow on his back. There are a total of ten arrows in the dark number arrow sleeve.
"Come forward, rush forward, he's alone, let's pounce and kill him!" Zhang Rang urged loudly, and the voice was particularly loud in the silent passage.
The guards in the middle and behind the team didn't see Guan Yu's skills, and immediately shouted after hearing Zhang Rang's voice. Although the guards in front were not scared, the other party was indeed alone. And there are no weapons. So he shouted violently and rushed towards the inflection point.
"It's good to come! Look at how many of you are not afraid of death! Guan Yu scolded secretly and pulled out an arrow, thinking that there were only ten arrows to spare. Immediately pulled out Xiao Dali's matching knife, and when he heard the other party's voice, he was already approaching the corner, and immediately jumped out, shaped like a ghost, and the long knife waved, and the seven frontmost guards were splashed with blood on the spot. Guan Yu did not take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and dodged and retreated to the corner.
The guards who were shocked by this scene couldn't open their mouths, and they didn't dare to step forward when they looked at each other. Zhang Rang also saw that the other party was a martial arts master, and what was even more terrifying was that the other party had a calm and decisive character. First, they took advantage of their unpreparedness to carry out a sneak attack, and then obtained weapons to defend them. can still be so careful in such an unfavorable situation, the other party is definitely a terrible character.
