Chapter Sixty-Nine: Shocking Underground Armory
Meng Juntong, Xiang Ming, and Xue Ding rushed out of the Taishou Mansion, and at this moment, the sound of the hooves of dense war horses and the footsteps of foot soldiers were already heard outside the street.
The military camp stationed in Yangguan City is quite a long distance away from Taishou Mansion, one is located in the west of the city, and the other is in the east and north of the city, and it seems that someone has already informed the military camp in the morning.
"Where to escape?" Meng Juntong subconsciously turned his head to Xiang Ming and asked.
In the face of hundreds of troops, it is absolutely impossible for them to rush out head-on, and besides, they still have war horses, and they ride on foot, which is almost looking for their own death, and they can trample the people under the horses into flesh with one charge.
Xiang Ming was familiar with the environment here, so Meng Juntong first thought of Xiang Ming.
However, without waiting for Xiang Ming to speak, a voice came from the Folding Corridor not far away, and that voice Meng Juntong knew, it was Xue Ying's voice.
Because the Taishou Mansion itself is a place of prosperity, and in any case, it is also a mansion divided by a vassal state, and ordinary ghosts and evil spirits dare not approach at all, so Xue Ying did not follow Meng Juntong into the mansion at that time.
"Sister, here~! Xue Ying leaned out half of her body and waved her hand at Meng Juntong.
Xiang Ming was about to speak, when Meng Juntong pulled Xue Ding: "Brother Xue, this direction." ”
"Hey," Xiang Ming opened his mouth wide, but Meng Juntong had already pulled Xue Ding and ran out.
Xue Ding didn't ask anything now, since Meng Juntong knew his sister's name, and also knew that their brother and sister were from Beiyan, she must know something about his sister, whether his sister was dead or alive, he wanted to hear what Meng Juntong had to say.
Not long after the three of them rushed into the quiet alley, hundreds or thousands of heavily armed Daqin soldiers had already gathered in front of the Taishou Mansion.
Lin Meng walked out of the Taishou Mansion and glanced downward: "Pass the Taishou Order, Yangguan City will be closed immediately, no matter what, you must find all the assassins who attacked the Taishou Mansion at night tonight." ”
"No~!" the sergeants below replied in unison.
Xue Ying took the three of them down a very hidden alley, and even Xiang Ming, who had lived here for several years, never knew that there was such a place. Originally, there were no alleys here, and there were houses on both sides, perhaps because of the distribution of this public land, so the two families each moved the outer wall of their house more than a foot inward, so that a path of more than two feet appeared, which was enough for one person to pass through quickly.
"How did you know that there would be this road," Xiang Ming couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and asked Meng Juntong.
Meng Juntong replied casually: "It was Xue Ying who told me." ”
"Xue Ying, when did she tell you? Xiang Ming couldn't tell the truth of Meng Juntong's words.
Xue Ying had died more than half a year ago, if she knew Meng Juntong before she came to Yangguan City, then it stands to reason that Meng Juntong could not have been targeted by the people of Taishou Mansion, and Xue Ying herself was imprisoned in Taishou Mansion as soon as she arrived in Yangguan City, where could she be so familiar with the situation outside Taishou Mansion.
But looking at Meng Juntong like this, it doesn't look like he's lying at all.
In this way, Xiang Ming, who has always been known for his cautious and thoughtful thinking, was a little confused.
Xue Ding was very quiet, from beginning to end, he didn't speak, only when he heard Meng Juntong say Xue Ying's name, his eyes lit up slightly.
Xue Ying's soul has always floated on Xue Ding's side, her tears can't stop flowing, but she didn't cry, of course, even if she cried, Xue Ding couldn't hear it.
"There's a dead end in front of the alley," Xiang Ming said, pointing to the earthen wall at the end.
"No," Xue Ying seemed to be answering Xiang Ming's words: "There is a kiln there, and there is a secret passage in the kiln, which leads directly to the outside of Yangguan City. ”
Meng Juntong was stunned, how could someone dig a kiln in it, and there was even a tunnel connected, which was not at all like what ordinary people would do.
Meng Juntong quickly ran under the wall as Xue Ying said, there was a thick layer of hay piled on the ground, and there was nothing wrong with it on the surface.
She knelt down on one knee and threw the hay from the ground in one hand to the side, revealing a kiln door.
Xiang Ming frowned, he was a spy sent into the Qin State by the Chu State, he received the strictest intelligence spy training since he was a child, and the Dragon Shadow Forbidden Army under his command was the earliest spy agency established in the Seven Kingdoms, he was confident that he could infiltrate any city and master every corner of it.
Before that, Xiang Ming also thought so, but what he didn't expect was that in addition to their Chu State Dragon Shadow Forbidden Army, there were also forces from other countries that had infiltrated here. I don't know the ghost, I don't think I have dug a secret passage connecting the inside and outside of the city.
"What are you still doing in a daze, come in!" Meng Juntong shouted at Xiang Ming, who was stunned in place.
Xiang Ming came back to his senses, and the look on his face immediately softened: "It's here." ”
The three of them jumped off the kiln one after another, and it was still late at night, and there was no light in the kiln, and it was pitch black.
"Hey, you've stepped on my shoe. Meng Juntong snorted softly, Xiang Ming followed behind her, and stepped on her cloth shoes without paying attention.
"I'm sorry," Xiang Ming said, taking out a fire fold and lighting it with a snap.
The crimson flames jumped, and the light illuminated every corner of the kiln.
The space of this kiln is very large, and I don't know how much larger it is than the kiln where ordinary people store grain.
But the current scene scared the three of them.
Where is this underground kiln, this is simply an underground armory.
On the walls on all four sides hung all kinds of swords and blades, and there were many of them, at least hundreds, which were enough to arm an elite team.
In addition to swords, there is also armor, but these armor are not the hard plate armor used by the soldiers on the battlefield, but some very elaborate leather armor, although the defense is not as good as the plate armor, but it is very light.
Meng Juntong and they may not know, but Xiang Ming knows that this kind of armor is specially prepared for them who are hidden outside the battlefield.
It's just that looking at the style of this armor, it's really hard to tell which country set up a spy agency.
In addition to these, there are also crossbow machines of different weights and lengths, in terms of scale, Xiang Ming feels that this armory is much more complete than the Dragon Shadow Forbidden Military Camp set up in Yangguan City, where they are located.
"Who are you!" Xiang Ming looked at Meng Juntong again, his gaze was already on guard, this was the inevitable reaction of a spy general to the incomprehensible things around him.
But looking at Meng Juntong's stunned expression, it was obvious that before entering this kiln, she didn't expect such a scene here.
Having seen thousands of people and faces, Xiang Ming was almost certain that Meng Juntong's surprise was not faked.
Xue Ding walked to a war knife by the wall, reached out and gently touched the back of this knife: "This is not a Qin war knife, it is an old Yan knife." ”
"Old Yan Dao?"
Xue Ding nodded: "It is the first sword of the Warring States that was created during the period when Yan Mu Gongtie was a strong country." ”
He actually saw the war knife of the deceased country here, and Xue Ding's expression was a little stunned.
"But how can there be an old Yan Dao here, could it be said that this is a stronghold established by the Yan Kingdom early in the morning? But hasn't the Yan Kingdom been destroyed for many years? ”
