"Find!" Chai Rong was obviously angry at this time, his voice was low, and his voice was not small.

After hearing Chai Rong's shout, more than a dozen of Chai Rong's personal soldiers began to look around the house. They removed the heavy blankets and landscape paintings that had been hanging on the walls, and found many secret passages.

Xiao Hongtao also stepped forward to check, and found that there were many secret passages, there were about 20 in the whole house, the hole mouth extended obliquely downward, the materials supporting the entire secret passage were all stone, the hole was not big, about 1.5 meters in diameter, just enough to allow an adult to bend down to enter, perhaps because of the result of long-term use, the stone slab at the entrance of the cave was very smooth, and there was a trace of luster in the dark. Xiao Hongtao guessed that these secret passages should lead to the small houses around them, and those Khitans should have passed through these secret passages to those low houses, and then escaped from those houses. But this was only his conjecture, there were no windows in the room, the light was dim, and the direction of these secret passages was not clear.

After finding the secret passage, Chai Rong immediately ordered his soldiers to go down and investigate. So, the leader of Chai Rong's personal soldiers chose more than a dozen soldiers, changed into short clothes, tied ropes to their bodies, took torches, and climbed down from the secret passage.

But then something strange happened. After the dozen or so people went down, they quickly disappeared into the dark secret passage, and the ropes were getting longer and longer, and the speed of each rope sliding was almost the same.

Later, the ropes left outside the cave were nearing the end, and the ropes were still disappearing into the secret passage. Finally, in the end, only a short piece of rope remained. At this time, Xiao Hongtao felt that something was wrong, and he had calculated in his heart that the distance between the middle nave and the low house next to it was about twenty meters, and now the length of the rope that was dragged into the secret passage was obviously more than twenty meters.

Xiao Hongtao looked up at Chai Rong and found that Chai Rong's face was very ugly, his eyes were staring at a hole, watching the rope continue to slide down.

"Holy Lord, something is not right. After thinking about it, Xiao Hongtao still expressed the doubts in his heart: "This rope is almost at the end, but no soldier has sent a signal yet." ”

Chai Rong suddenly realized something, and hurriedly ordered to pull the rope back. Xiao Hongtao found that the soldiers who pulled the rope didn't use much force at all, and the rope was pulled out by them, and in the end, they found that there was nothing at the other end of the rope, and all the soldiers were gone!

Everyone present began to be afraid, you must know that the people who went down just now were all Chai Rong's personal soldiers, and they were all leaders in the army in terms of martial arts and experience, so many people disappeared in such a short period of time, and there was no sound.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Hongtao was also a little scared: he had an ominous premonition from the beginning of this place, first dozens of Khitan soldiers disappeared out of thin air, and now more than a dozen soldiers who went down also disappeared quietly. Xiao Hongtao originally thought that those Khitan soldiers might not have gone far, and after Chai Rong's personal soldiers went down, there might be a fight, but now the situation is that they have disappeared collectively, and there is not even a shout.

Xiao Hongtao went up to check the rope and found that the break of the rope was very neat, and it should have been cut by a very sharp blade. Seeing this, Xiao Hongtao didn't understand even more, there were only two possibilities for the rope to be cut, one was cut by the Khitan soldiers who went down first, and the other was that Chai Rong's personal soldiers found something and took the initiative to cut the rope. The first situation is relatively easy to understand, which means that the Khitan soldiers are waiting for Chai Rong's soldiers to go down, maybe they used tools to control Chai Rong's soldiers, and then cut the rope, but if this is the case, Chai Rong's soldiers should be aware of it, and at least make one or two calls. But the reality is that Chai Rong's soldiers all disappeared without making a sound. The second situation is more difficult to understand, these people are Chai Rong's personal soldiers, most of them are from Chai Rong's hometown, and they have been with Chai Rong for many years, and their glory and wealth are all due to Chai Rong. If they took the initiative to cut the rope, there was only one possibility, and that was that they saw something more tempting than following the current emperor, and under the temptation of this kind of thing, they all cut the rope and went after something new.

But, in either case, there is a lot of uncertainty beneath the secret passage. Thinking of this, Xiao Hongtao was ready not to wade into this troubled water, he left the entrance of the cave, left the crowd, turned around and walked towards the seat in the middle of the room, after standing for a long time, he wanted to sit down and rest. Sitting on the seat, Xiao Hongtao found that the stool was designed to be very wide, and after sitting down, his arms couldn't touch the armrests on both sides at all. At this time, Wei Jiang also followed, holding a torch to light the wall lamp next to the seat, and the light illuminated the area near the seat. Xiao Hongtao realized that there was something strange on the seat: there was a palm-sized red butterfly mark on the armrest on the right hand, which was exactly the same as the one tattooed on Xiao Hongtao's body.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongtao couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did he appear again, does this Yizhou City have an indissoluble fate with him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongtao couldn't help but reach out and touch it, he found that this butterfly mark was carved up, and it was a relief technique, the whole butterfly carving was vivid, fluttering its wings, especially the head of the butterfly, under the light, the red red looked very gorgeous, as if a living butterfly lying on the arm of the stool. Xiao Hongtao leaned his head closer again and found that the body of the butterfly and the light reflected by the head under the light were slightly different, as if they were not of the same material. In order to verify his idea, Xiao Hongtao stretched out his index finger, tapped the butterfly's body, and reached out to press the butterfly's head.

Suddenly, he felt that his index finger was empty, and the butterfly's head was completely sunken, Xiao Hongtao hurriedly withdrew his fingers, thinking, this is over, such a beautiful butterfly has been broken.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from behind the seat where Xiao Hongtao was sitting, attracted by the sound, Xiao Hongtao looked back, and saw that there was another hole above his head, Xiao Hongtao stood up and found that it was another secret passage, and the upper edge of the secret passage also had a beautiful butterfly pattern, but the head of this butterfly was black.

At this time, Chai Rong and the others also saw this secret passage and walked towards this side together.

Walking closer, Chai Rong said to Xiao Hongtao: "Third brother, this is the will of heaven, it was God who asked you to open this secret passage." Xiao Hongtao was on the spot, not knowing what to say.

After observing the entrance of the secret passage, Chai Rong said: "Why don't you bother the third brother to make a hard trip, help me go and see where it leads inside, can you?"
