Chapter 80: Night Exploration of the Valley of the Wicked
In the Valley of the Wicked, the mist in the valley was blown away by the breeze. The moonlight, which was hidden by the clouds, slowly peeked out, and by the bright moonlight, the three of them hid in a jungle and carefully investigated the situation in the valley. There was silence all around, and there was an occasional nightingale or two. After observing for about a quarter of an hour, the three of them decided to quietly detour through the dense forest, from the tree jungle to the town of the Valley of the Wicked, so as not to accidentally be targeted by the spies who were still lurking in the valley.
The jungle is surrounded by vines and thorns. Although the road is rough, it also proves to be extremely safe. After walking around the jungle for an hour or two, the three of them finally came to the side of the town of the Valley of the Wicked. From a distance, the town of the Valley of the Wicked was silent. When the three of them had waited for a quarter of an hour and were about to go out, a fast horse rushed into the town, and stopped in front of a house, and when the rider knocked on the door, he saw a man come out of it and say something to the man, and welcomed the rider into the house.
"Sure enough, there is a problem, didn't this town be abandoned a long time ago?" Lin Xia looked at the scene just now and asked the two.
"No problem, we won't come. There's definitely a big fish going to bait tonight. Jiang Qiu grimaced and said with a smile at Lin Xia.
It was late at night, and although the dew soaked the clothes of the three of them, the three of them were still in high spirits and crouched in it waiting. Around the time the moon set in the West Mountain, the three of them felt that the people hiding in the town of the Valley of the Wicked had rested, so they chose to come out quietly.
"Let's go to the house where the man on the horse rode before to take a look, if there is a situation to control it first, if you can't control it, kill it directly!" Li Chengfeng directly ordered and said.
Jiang Qiu and Lin Xia nodded and followed Li Chengfeng outside the house together. Li Chengfeng listened to the meeting at the door first, and then pushed the door directly in. But when he entered, he found that the room was empty except for a table and four benches.
Li Chengfeng walked in with the fish intestine sword in his hand, and after looking around, his expression gradually became solemn. At this time, dozens of arrows suddenly shot out of the wall, flying towards Li Chengfeng.
"Be careful!" Lin Xia, who was deep outside the door, shouted.
I saw him fly quickly, and the sword of fish intestines shot down the arrows that flew towards him. After a while, when there were no more arrows shooting from the wall, Li Chengfeng stopped and still looked at the surrounding walls vigilantly. If it weren't for his strong martial arts, Lin Xia's three-legged cat kung fu would have been shot into a hedgehog in minutes.
After discussion, the three of them came to a conclusion, that is, the reason why the mysterious man on horseback who the three of them saw knocked on the door of the house and disappeared with the person who opened the door should be that there is another secret passage in this room, but the three of them have not found it yet. So the group began to grope around the walls, but for safety not to touch other mechanisms, Lin Xia was left outside the house.
Outside the door, Lin Xia was muttering and complaining that the two of them would not let her in at all.
I saw that Li Chengfeng found a dark grid on the wall, so he called Jiang Qiu to help together, and the two of them could take care of each other, not to mention that Jiang Qiu's martial arts were not low. The two of them cautiously pushed away the dark grid on the wall, only to see Li Chengfeng reach out and press it at the dark grid, and there was a click, and the two of them were shocked and instantly became vigilant, but they waited for a long time without any reaction.
While the two were still waiting, Li Chengfeng's fingers placed on the mechanism gently snapped the mechanism. With a bang, the floor under the feet of the two suddenly opened, because the two never expected that the secret door of the mechanism would be under their feet, so one of the center of gravity was unstable, and the foot lost its direction, and fell into the mechanism under the feet. The secret door of the mechanism suddenly closed again.
Originally, the design of the mechanism here is a flap mechanism, and when a person stands on it, due to the force under his feet, it is easy to fall into the mechanism if he is not careful. Originally, Li Chengfeng and Jiang Qiu were strong in martial arts, and these organs were not enough to trap the two. But people make mistakes, horses stumble, and everything has an accident.
Just as Lin Xia, who was standing outside, didn't hear the sound of the two in the blink of an eye, but there was a rumbling sound, he walked into the house in a panic, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen. Before she could react, several sword-wielding men in turbans appeared behind her, dressed in the same outfit she had seen in the battle in the Valley of the Wicked.
"Girl, don't look for it, if you don't want to die, come with us. Your friends are already waiting for you below!" After speaking, two younger men with knives and turbans stepped forward and tied up Lin Xia.
When Lin Xia was blindfolded and tied with her hands and escorted to a prison, after taking off the black cloth that covered her eyes, she saw that she was already in a dungeon, but what surprised her even more was that she found a woman lying on the straw in the prison, this person was not her, and she officially disappeared Murong Zihua who was robbed.
Lin Xia walked over, turned his back to Murong Zihua with his bound hands, and shook it for a long time, and then Zihua woke up leisurely.
"Miss Wang, why are you tied up......? Where are we?" Murong Zihua said in surprise, and reached out to untie the ropes that bound Lin Xia's hands.
"It's a long story. Zihua, how did you get caught here? We've all been worried about you since you disappeared. Lin Xia hurriedly asked Murong Zihua.
"That night I waited alone in the inn for you to return, but at the end of the day you did not return, so I went back to my room and slept, and then I knew nothing until now. Murong Zihua also looked at Lin Xia in confusion and replied.
"That night, when we returned from the Valley of the Wicked, we found you missing at the inn, and found a note on the table in your room that said that you had been kidnapped, and that if we wanted to save your life, we should stop pursuing it. Lin Xia glanced at Murong Zihua and said slowly to her.
"Is that the work done by the people of Yanyu Hall, preventing you from continuing to investigate Yanyu Hall?" asked Murong Zihua after hearing this.
"Hmm, Yanyutang, yes, why are we so stupid, how can we think that this matter is the work of the City Lord's Mansion?" Lin Xia patted his head and said.
"What's the matter, Miss Wang?" Murong Zihua hurriedly asked as if she had suddenly thought of something.
"Thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise we might have only thought of one answer. We were preconceived. The first thing that came to mind was the big battle in the Valley of the Wicked, the people of Yanyulou and the turbans with knives were enemies, and in the end, both were defeated, and they searched for evil things from the goods on the car, so they subconsciously thought of everything as a matter of course to the hostility of Yanyulou, and the city lord went up. Lin Xia muttered to himself.
