Chapter 49: The Tunnel

Carefully put away the three packs of highly poisonous poison, and then buried the old man's body, and memorized the coordinates of this place firmly in case the people of the Li family came to find the corpse in the future.

After disposing of all traces and making sure that no one else would notice it, Wednesday cautiously returned to the villa, stood on the top of the hill and looked down, realizing that the battle was nearing its end. The people in the manor were obviously unprepared, and the people brought by Simon were quite fierce, and the swordsman who had fought alone at the door of the hotel the night before was also there, carrying the big sword and rushing to the front, invincible, and there were still not many people who were his opponents.

In addition to the strong swordsman, there is also a mage who is also very good, it is a thunder mage, a string of thunder and lightning crackles outward as if it does not consume mana, whether it is a single point or a skewer, it is also next to each other, almost no exceptions, I don't know what level.

In addition, Wednesday also saw Simon's figure, he was releasing magic behind the crowd, but it was inconspicuous, and the magic released should be the wind system, the specific special effects are not obvious, and I don't know if the wind magic itself is like this or Simon himself is retained.

However, depending on the situation, there should be no problem with the battle, and the battle can be resolved in another three or five minutes. Wherever Margaret is hidden, she will be rescued.

Thinking of this, Wednesday cautiously walked away from the warband, and then returned the same way.

On the way, I saw a bunch of people galloping on horseback, just on the way to the manor. Wednesday hid on the side of the road and peeked, but did not find the figure of the young city lord Hill, it seems that Hill and his son also have scruples, and they dare not show up in person, so they can only let their subordinates do it. In this way, even if the person next to Margaret finds them, there is room for exculpation.

Thinking about that, Wednesday stopped worrying about that. The people on Hill's side were obviously a little caught off guard, and they were much weaker in momentum, and they were certainly not the opponents of Margaret's group. And in a battle at this level, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him, and it is useless to return. Therefore, Wednesday decisively and quietly went back to the city.

The gates were calm, as if nothing had happened, but if you looked closely, you could see that there were many spies hiding around the gates. Most of these spies are actually just ordinary people, but it is clear that they are deliberately disguised, and they should be deliberately targeting Margaret and them.

On Wednesday, he ignored those spies, generously paid the money and entered the city, starting from the east of the city to slowly look for the house in Li Yuming's mouth, the sixth courtyard of B in the east of the city. I thought it would take a long time to find it, but after entering the city from the east gate, I found the number B in the east of the city that the old man said in a few minutes.

The so-called courtyard B No. 6 in the east of the city is actually the house where Margaret lived last night, so the so-called tunnel should be the one used by those people when they kidnapped Margaret. Thinking of this, Wednesday rolled his eyes and laughed, thinking that it would take a lot of time to find the old man's relics, but now it seems that it should be a no-brainer.

Why is Wednesday so confident? You must know that the courtyard is the mansion of the city lord Hill, and even at this time, there are many soldiers guarding outside, and it is very difficult to sneak in.

But don't forget, it's the tunnels, not the yards, that need to be infiltrated on Wednesday. And although the exit of the tunnel is remote, it is seen by Wednesday and Simon, as long as there is no one else in the tunnel, Wednesday can easily pocket the things left by the old man.

The exit of the tunnel is in an uninhabited alley, and if ordinary people really can't find it, it's quite well camouflaged. But when he knew the specific location on Wednesday, it was naturally difficult for him. Pushing a stone away from the corner of the alley, digging with a ring knife to find the metal plate stop, then pried it up and carefully moved it to the side.

After lighting a torch, Wednesday jumped in with the ring knife in hand, and only after adjusting to the dim light did he touch inside. This tunnel is quite spacious, two meters high and more than one meter wide, and is rammed and supported by timber on all sides. From the entrance to the end, there is a length of about fifty meters, which is already quite long.

But the problem is that after searching carefully on Wednesday, I still haven't found where the so-called cheats are. Could it be that Li Yuming was lying to himself? Wednesday instantly vetoed this idea, because according to the situation at that time, Li Yuming was completely unnecessary, because he still had to ask him. Under normal circumstances, if Li Yuming lied, then Wednesday would definitely not help Li Yuming do those things.

Thinking of this, Wednesday continued to search, only more carefully. Li Yuming is one of Hill's imprisoned subordinates, and he must be watched by someone all the time. It is only in such a tunnel, where the light is not good, and the chance of escape is almost zero, those who guard him may relax a little, and Li Yuming will have the opportunity to hide his secrets and experience.

It's just that if you want to hide something here, it must be very hidden, and it is a place that ordinary people can't notice, and it is also a place where Li Yuming can stay for a short time without attracting the attention of the guards. So, in such a tunnel, what location meets this condition?

Wednesday cautiously walked a few steps back and forth through the tunnel, then looked up thoughtfully at the plank above him. If there's one place in this tunnel that doesn't stand out, it's the top of the tunnel. Even if the tunnel is enough for normal people to stand here, people will still unconsciously bow their heads and bend down when they come in, so that the top of their heads is the least noticeable place.

Then look at the planks that are paved up at the top, and look carefully for them from beginning to end on Wednesday. When his neck was sore and sleepy, a simple humanoid pattern was found on a wooden board. The pattern is simple, just a sitting posture cross-legged, and it is clearly drawn in a hurry.

Wednesday hurriedly reached into the gap in the plank, but did not touch anything. Could it have been discovered? Wednesday thought about it unwillingly, and looked at the pattern in deep thought, the last stroke of the pattern seemed to have been drawn in a hurry, pointing diagonally to a thirty-degree direction.

Seeing this, Wednesday followed the location of the stroke and found another gap more than five meters away. ecstatic put his hand in, and sure enough, he touched something and quickly took it out. Just as he was about to check, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and Wednesday quickly put the things he had just arrived in his inventory, then extinguished the torches and ran outside.

Out of the tunnel, Wednesday patted the dirt off his body, and then returned to the hotel like a passerby.

The innkeeper was busy with his work, and when he saw Wednesday, he was stunned for a moment, "Sir, when did you go out?"

Wednesday's eyes widened in amazement, "I just went out, and I said hello to you, did you forget?"

The shopkeeper slapped his head, "Oh, look at my memory, I'm sorry." ”

Wednesday waved his hand, "It's okay," said the boss, who was still a little puzzled, and then went upstairs. He calmed his breath at the door, then knocked on the door.

But half a minute passed, and it was still quiet, "Chrissy?"

There was still no movement, and Wednesday was in a hurry, and he slammed the door open with his heavy shoulder, and then rushed in. The room was quiet, and Chrissy, who was supposed to be sleeping or getting up, was gone. I touched her quilt, it was already cold, and it seemed that she had been away for a long time.

But the door was from the inside, so where did Chrissy leave, where did she go, or was she taken captive?

Walking around the room, he found no information about Chrissy or any signs of a fight, and Wednesday's heart sank to the bottom at this time, and he couldn't figure out what had happened in the half night he had been away.

At this moment, the little Dandan, who had been lying on Wednesday's shoulder, suddenly squeaked and jumped to the window and swung his paw at Wednesday.

Wednesday rushed to the window and looked out, there was no trace, and asked suspiciously, "You mean, Chrissy left here?"

Dandan, standing on top of Wednesday's head, jumped high and sniffed hard before pointing the direction to Wednesday.

Although he didn't know why Little Dandan's movements were so weird, he could only believe in it at this time, so he followed the direction it guided. Two minutes later, I climbed over a courtyard wall and came to a room.

Wednesday put his ear to the door and listened, but he didn't expect the door to open automatically, "Come in, young man," an old voice came out. Wednesday walked to the door with a sneer, "I'm sorry, I was rude," and then looked up and saw Chrissy standing in the room, and relaxed slightly, "I'm looking for someone." ”

"Hahaha, I know, I know," sat an old man with a white beard sitting in the room, drinking tea with a teacup on crutches in one hand and the other, and said with a hearty smile: "I knew you would find here," and then said to Chriss, who was waiting on the side: "Go, go, get out of here as soon as possible, the land of right and wrong is not suitable for a long time." ”

Chrissy bowed quietly, "The student will say goodbye and visit the door another day," and then walked out with Nana, pulling Wednesday and turning around.

It wasn't until she went out of the gate that Chrissy breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's so dangerous, I thought I was going to be caught again." ”

Only then did Wednesday ask, "What's going on?" I don't know why just now, looking at the white-bearded old man who seemed to be weak, I felt a little palpitation, and I felt like a knife and axe were coming. At this time, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, but he still quickly asked Chrissy what happened.
