Chapter 150: Under the Guard's Camp
"I understand......" Empress Dowager Xiao nodded: "You found the armor of the Great Liao Cavalry in a secret passage in an abandoned village in Tai'an County?" β
Lin Xi replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, that's exactly the case." β
"Where is the armor now?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked.
"The armor is now stored by the guard at the door."
Empress Dowager Xiao immediately shouted: "Someone, bring the armor stored at the door!" β
The handmaid quickly walked in with great difficulty, holding a piece of armor.
"It's... The armor of the Great Liao cavalry? Empress Dowager Xiao exclaimed.
Lin Xi said: "We suspect that this Great Liao cavalry army that entered the Great Song Dynasty is the foreign aid of the rebel forces of the Great Song Dynasty!" β
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Please find out who this armor is."
"Don't look it up - look here."
"The 23-year system of unification and the Xiao Guard...... What is the Guard? Lin Xi asked.
The Queen Mother said: "The Xiao Guards are cavalry troops responsible for security patrols around Beijing. β
Lin Xi secretly took a breath of cool air: "Responsible for the safety of Beijing?" How many people are there? β
The Queen Mother thought for a moment and replied, "There are six branches in total, and each team has two or three hundred people. β
"The secret room we found in the tunnels of the abandoned village can probably accommodate hundreds of people! Please ask the Queen Mother to immediately send someone she can trust to secretly investigate the Xiao Guard! β
"Someone you can trust?" Empress Dowager Xiao smiled.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong?"
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Lin Xi and said, "Why bother, aren't you three trustworthy people?" β
Lin Xi was stunned, "Me? β
"yes, you- what, you don't want to?"
Empress Dowager Xiao's tone sank, which made the two sisters of Guanyin and longevity nervous.
Lin Xi secretly adjusted his breathing, and arched his hand: "The Queen Mother has a life, and Lin Xi will never give up." β
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Empress Dowager Xiao finally showed a shallow smile: "Still called the Queen Mother?" β
"Huh? Oh oh......" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and knelt down with a bang: "Queen Mother!" β
Empress Dowager Xiao helped Lin Xi up: "Okay, okay, you three go quickly, the investigation is important, the military camp of the Xiao Guard Army is in the north of the city, if you need anything, you can directly inform the government or the queen mother." β
"Thank you!" The three of them said in unison.
Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand, and the three of them exited the hall.
"Laughing at what?" Lin Xi caught a glimpse of the smiling faces of the two sisters when he went out.
"Mother, this is the son-in-law who recognizes you."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "If you don't admit it, you won't have a trick, the raw rice is cooked." Call the others and let's go. β
When the group left the palace, Tang Ling looked reluctant to look reluctant to turn around three times: "That's the palace, that's too magnificent, I've never seen such a big house in my life!" β
"Don't you see it now?" Li Qingyou said.
"That's what I saw from the outside, if I could go inside one day......"
Li Qingyou was shocked: "You still want to go into the palace?" β
"Tsk," Tang Ling patted Li Qingyou's arm: "No ideal, what if there is such a day?" β
Li Qingyou said helplessly: "That can only prove that you should wake up from your dream." β
"Nasty!" Tang Ling chirped.
Xi Jingyao asked on the side: "Lin Xi, I'm getting more and more curious now, you... What does it do? β
"Me? I'm a door-to-door son-in-law. Lin Xi said with a smile.
"I mean, you used to, you like... Everybody knows me. β
"Haha......" Lin Xi smiled: "I have time to tell you slowly in the future, okay?" β
"Why not now?"
"Now?" Lin Xi sighed: "It's all old things, don't mention it......"
Yanshou smiled and took Xi Jingyao's hand, and said softly: "Okay, sister-in-law promised you, I will definitely tell you when I have time in the future, and I still have to do business now, okay?" β
"Sister-in-law, I know."
"Sister-in-law is good at talking, isn't she?" Xi Jingyao suddenly heard Lin Xi's sour voice.
Xi Jingyao replied: "Yes~~ Sister-in-law is so good at talking, don't you also listen to your sister-in-law?" β
Lin Xi's face flushed, and he suddenly didn't know how to refute this.
Xi Jingyao stepped forward and whispered in Lin Xi's ear, "Do you still eat your wife's vinegar?" β
", who's jealous."
"You just have a hard mouth."
In the sound of a group of people fighting, laughing and laughing, Lin Xi could finally see the military camp in the distance.
"Let's go, let's go into the camp and have a look."
Just when everyone was about to enter the camp to investigate, suddenly a group of people came to the camp in the distance.
"They are ......"
"Hide!" Lin Xi pulled Xi Jingyao, who was still stunned, and hid in the grass in the distance for a moment.
"What are they talking about?" In the messy grass, Yanshou pulled the corner of Lin Xi's clothes and asked in a low voice.
"Too far away to hear ......"
In front of the camp, a man who looked like a general was talking to a man in a black cloak in a whisper.
The black cloak has a long hood that covers his entire face tightly, as if he is afraid that others will see his true face.
As expected, that general should be the leader of the Xiao Guard or the leader of the squad below.
After the black cloak parted with the general, his body moved, and the whole cloak swept up against the wind.
"What a handsome light skill!" Lin Xi was a little surprised, and then looked at Li Qingyou: "Brother Li, I'm sorry for you-"
"Don't worry." Li Qingyou nodded.
"Wait!" Tang Ling suddenly shouted to stop the two.
"What's wrong?"
"I ...... I'm going with you! Tang Lingqiao's face was slightly red, staring at Li Qingyoudao.
Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly didn't say anything, and pointed to his back: "Okay, come up." β
"Hey!" Tang Ling responded, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
The two ran out after the black cloak, while Lin Xi led the people closer to the camp.
"Be careful, let's lean in again......"
"Oops!"
I don't know what's going on, Yanshou suddenly stepped on the air, and a scream instantly scared Lin Xi out of a cold sweat.
Lin Xi quickly grabbed Yanshou's arm, but fortunately, no one heard Yanshou's voice.
"Quick, pull someone up......" Guanyin stretched out his hands anxiously on the side, dragging the other hand that extended his life.
"This is ......" pulled the person up, and Lin Xi carefully observed the place where he stepped on the void -
It was a square hole, no matter how you look at it, it didn't look like a natural formation, Lin Xi took out the fire and stretched it out, and found that there was still a bamboo ladder hanging on the wall.
"Ladders?"
"It's a secret passage!"
Probably due to the disrepair, the wooden plank at the entrance of the secret passage has been somewhat decayed, which caused Yanshou to smash and almost fall down.
"I'll go down and have a look." Lin Xi said that he was going down the ladder with his sword.
"Hey-you're going down alone?" Yanshou pulled Lin Xi in surprise.
"Don't worry, it's okay, if it's safe, I'll give you a signal with fire, and then you come down one by one."
"You have to be careful...... "Xi Jingyao said nervously.
Lin Xi showed an indifferent smile: "It's really okay, I'm going down-"
Lin Xi walked down alone, and looking down from above, there seemed to be a little faint light.
After a while, there was finally a glimmer of fire in the passage, and the firelight waved below, obviously Lin Xi's signal to everyone.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Yanshou was the first to rush down excitedly.
"Oops--don't worry, go down one by one!" Under the coordination of Guanyin, the group finally entered the secret passage along the ladder.
This secret passage is very long, and there are many shadows in the road.
"This is ......" As soon as Xi Jingyao fell to the ground, she saw a crowd of people in the distance of the secret passage.
"Squat against the wall!" Lin Xi roared in a low voice.
"Those people, why do you feel so strange?" If you look closely, there are indeed a lot of people wandering in the secret passages.
These people seemed to be guarding here, but the strange thing was that these were only wandering aimlessly in the secret passages, and Lin Xi and the others had been here for a long time, and no one noticed.
"It's a little ......familiar," Lin Xi was taken aback, "That's not ...... Medicine Man? β
"What is a medicine man?" Xi Jingyao wondered, she was the only one here who had never seen such a thing that she didn't know if she could call it human.
Lin Xi had no choice but to explain simply: "The medicine man is a strange person raised with a kind of medicine, these people have no thoughts, they only obey the orders of the medicine applicator, but they will increase their strength greatly, lose their sense of pain, and it is difficult to deal with ......"
"That'...... I'm afraid there are dozens of medicine people in this secret passage, right? How to deal with this? β
Lin Xi shook his head: "I can't say, there is only one way to this secret passage, and if you want to go over, I'm afraid you can only kill it!" What do you think? β
"It doesn't matter if he can do it or not, he has to try to find out!"
Lin Xi pulled out his sword and swept forward, and in just an instant, the medicine man's screams rang out.
Sure enough, these medicine men were still expected to be difficult, unless their heads were completely cut off, these people had the ability to fight back no matter what.
It's just that Lin Xi has already paid experience, and it is not a problem for him to be a medicine man at all.
Soon, the medicine man in the secret passage was cleaned up, and everyone fought all the way to the end of the secret passage.
At this time, the top of the secret passage ......
"Ahh Sneezing ...... Who scolded me? β
The two guards sat boredly in the room, looking east and west.
"I said that we both stay here every day, and we are all getting lice on our bodies...... The group of brothers outside can go to the city at every turn, and the theater Qinglou is chic, just the bad luck of us gatekeepers! β
"I said, do you miss a woman?"
"Want to have a fart? Can that girl still get out of the ground? β
"Oops!"
Before the words fell, Xi Jingyao came out of the ground with a "bang".
"Damnβ" The two guards were shocked, "Did the girl really come out of the ground?" β
Two more sounds, Guanyin and Yanshou were sent up again.
"There really are womenβ"
One of the guards finally reacted: "Silly you, it's an intruder!" β
Lin Xi instantly turned over, grabbed the necks of the two, and strangled the two of them in an instant.
"Come up!" Lin Xi stretched out his hand and pulled up all the people who hadn't come up yet.
"Ouch......" Xi Jingyao, who had just smashed her head into the secret door, was still squatting on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi heard the guard's conversation in the secret passage, and Xi Jingyao was thrown up by Lin Xi.
Lin Xi, who had done bad things, was a little gloating at this time, and he gently rubbed Xi Jingyao's head: "Don't be angry, I can't throw life extension on it......"
"Why don't you hit your own headbutt!" Xi Jingyao said aggrievedly.
Lin Xi smiled: "I was wrong, I was wrong - next time I will definitely hit my head!" Don't be angry, there's still business......"
"Humph!" Xi Jingyao pushed Lin Xi away like a coquette, and then stood up with her head.
"There's no sound outside." Zhou Baiyu pricked up his ears.
Ling Yebai said: "It looks like someone is waiting for us." β
"Yes...... Lin Xi looked at the closed door and said, "Let's go, I'll open the way." Since there are people waiting, let's go out and meet them. β
