Just when the four of them were at a loss, a rush of footsteps came from far and near.

The four of them hurriedly turned over and found a place to hide.

I saw a man in his thirties running to the place where Xu Ao had just lifted the cover, and seeing that the dirt around the cover had traces of being turned, his face immediately changed, and he turned around and whispered: "Don't come here yet!"

The footsteps behind him stopped abruptly.

I saw that the man carefully inserted a stick of incense on the ground, took out a fire fold from his arms, and lit it. He sniffed vigorously at the gray-white smoke rising above his head.

Only then did he open the lid with extreme caution. As soon as he opened the cover, he noticed that something was wrong.

I saw that he suddenly drilled down, and after a while he drilled up again, and looked left and right for a long time, but he really didn't find anything, and then he whistled and called his companion over.

Not far away, a team of middle-aged and elderly people hurriedly ran over, and the oldest one was protected in the middle with a package. The younger ones are armed with sticks to protect them.

"Ngawang, how is it going to go down?" asked the old man, who was apparently the leader of a group.

The young man named Ngawang shook his head.

"Why? Is there those barbarians from Beidi down there?" asked a younger old man.

"No, it's the bottle that was under the lid that's missing. Ngawang then made it clear what he had seen and heard below, not even letting go of the small details of the extra pair of boot prints.

"Then you mean, the bottle was taken away, and there is no one down there?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "This is a good thing, without that bottle blocking the way, everyone doesn't have to suck the awakening incense that will break the life." That's a good thing. A good thing. “

"Grandpa, it's a good thing not to have that bottle in the way. But did Grandpa ever think that the bottle was taken away, proving that there were people other than the green clothes who knew about this secret passage? Our planned escape from this secret passage could be discovered. If someone finds out, I'm afraid that none of us will survive by then. Ngawang was clearly more worried about being caught.

"I took the bottle. A voice suddenly came from the haystack not far away, and a group of people suddenly shuddered.

"Who's there!" asked Awang boldly, picking up a stick dropped by his companion.

"Xu Ao, the deputy general of the Qin army. These two are the generals Xu Hu and Sun Xiansheng. This is ......" Xu Ao reacted at this time, and after so long, he didn't even ask what the name of the doorman was.

Fortunately, the doorman was also clever, and hurriedly took over Xu Ao's words: "My name is Hu Yuzhong, and I am a doorman of the Liu family in Xianyang." “

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the old man in the center burst into tears: "Are the adults here to rescue us?" When the prisoners were exchanged a few days ago, those young dolls were all replaced. The villain still thinks that he can't go back to Daqin in this life, but he can't think of it, he can't imagine that the adults still remember us. “

The three of them were silent for a while. Especially Sun Xiansheng, his expression was a little tangled.

"My lord, we were sleeping just now, and suddenly there was a chaos, the guards were killed, and the cell door was opened, was the army coming?" asked the slightly younger man with hope.

Xu Ao shook his head: "Beidi civil strife, there was a guy who killed the guy in green clothes in Ah Wang's mouth, and then killed all the way out. Let's take advantage of the chaos...... Get you out. Xu Ao hesitated slightly, but decided to follow this statement.

"Just four people?" the old man was stunned for a while, not to mention him, even if everyone here didn't believe it, just four people could save them all.

Only the man, Ngawang, gradually turned cold.

Xu Ao is really difficult to ride a tiger at present, so he has to nod and say yes.

The faces of the crowd suddenly darkened, and it was obvious that they had no hope of escaping.

"You don't have to worry, if you are young and in good health, go out after us. The older ones will hide in the passages, and in a few days the army will come and get you out. Sun Xiansheng saw that Xu Ao didn't seem to know what to say, and hurriedly said for him.

Ngawang shook his head first: "I'm not leaving, I'm with my grandfather." My lord, although we come from humble backgrounds, we are not fools. You obviously didn't come to save us, otherwise you wouldn't have just three or four people. You're here to kill us. “

"Ngawang, how can you guess a few adults like that, and apologize to a few adults. The old man was angry, and he raised his hand to slap him.

Ah Wang dodged back, and the slap suddenly hit the air, but it was the old man himself who stumbled and almost fell: "Grandpa, you also understand people, since they are here to kill us, why should we please them." “

Only then did everyone react completely, and they were immediately excited.

Sun Xiansheng wanted to explain something more. Xu Ao pressed the hand he was about to wave: "Don't say it." Our original plan was to kill them if we couldn't save them. “

Ngawang clenched the stick in his hand: "Are you going to do it?" “

Xu Ao not only did not make a move, but opened his hands and signaled them to see clearly that he was not ready to make a move: "If I want to kill you, whether it is the poison in my sleeve or I take action myself, none of you can escape." “

Xu Ao pointed to the cover on the ground: "If there is no passage, maybe we will really kill you all." You should also understand that the reason why the thirteen countries of the Central Plains of Kyushu were able to fight against the barbarians and all kinds of demon beasts was because they were ahead of their technology. And your presence may wipe out that advantage. So no commander will allow you to live and pass this on to the savages. “

Everyone obviously understood this, and most of them looked discouraged, but no one said anything to refute it.

Xu Ao saw that they all agreed with his statement, so he cleared his throat and continued: "Since you also understand, you should understand that the fundamental purpose of our coming is not to kill people, but to ensure that these techniques will not be passed on. Therefore, if there is a chance to get you out, we will still get you out. “

Ngawang pointed at the four of them: "Just the four of you, you want to save us from the million-strong army?"

"It's better to try than to give up, isn't it?" Xu Ao smiled: "If you are sure that no one outside the green robe knows about this secret passage, I will be seven or eight points sure that I will take you out." “

Everyone exchanged their heads, and after a while, they agreed on their opinions, and the old man was the representative: "My lord, we all listen to the arrangements of the adults, and we can do what the adults command." “

"Okay, then I'll assign the task. ”
