Chapter 188: There is no time to wait
In fact, the escape room was not completely completed, and the secret room before the yamen was very simple, and for some reason, only half of it was built and then abandoned halfway.
After Wang Shouren, who always had to think carefully about doing things, came to Ji'an, he ordered his subordinates to start building this secret room, and made great changes on the original basis. Some simple traps are set up according to the Five Elements Formation.
Hong Manjiang and the Four Swordsmen were trapped in the secret room, and it was difficult to find Wang Shouren for a while. However, if this simple formation wanted to kill them, it would not be easy.
Wang Shouren and the big and small officials had already walked out of the secret room through the narrow passage, and a group of people stood at the exit of the secret room and began to discuss.
"In my opinion, it is better to pour water into the chamber and drown these assassins who do not know the height of the sky. Wu Wending said angrily, and then called his men and asked them to prepare wooden barrels and fill the tunnel with water.
Feng Mu hurriedly stopped him and said, "By all means, if we rush into it, not only can we not drown the other party, but instead provide them with an escape route, we will definitely be in a dangerous situation at that time." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"The water flow is difficult to fill the tunnel for a while, but they can find an escape route along the direction of the water flow, so that the maze laid by Mr. will lose its effect, with their martial arts, those heavy stone slabs can only trap them for a while, but they can't distinguish the direction, but it will consume a lot of energy, why don't we wait for work, set up the mechanism first, and wait for them to throw themselves into the net?"
Wang Shouren nodded with satisfaction and said: "Pass the order, lay thirty-six nets at the exit of this tunnel, ambush the crossbowmen around, and start shooting as soon as there is any trouble, and if you still let them break through, you will set up a suspicious formation and lead them to the south." ”
General Pi was ordered to leave, and Wang Shouren led a group of officials to live in a hut, far away from the Chinese army's big tent, which was remote, originally a farmhouse, and was vacant because of the escape.
A day passed, Hong Manjiang and the others were still trapped in the secret room, they could hear the sound of each other pushing the stone slabs, but after pushing open a stone wall, they couldn't see each other.
Hong Manjiang said angrily: "Such a cunning Wang Shouren, he can actually arrange such a formation, after we go out, we will definitely break his body into thousands of pieces in order to relieve the hatred in our hearts." ”
The four swords listened to him, and no one answered him. Hong Manjiang knew that these four people were not dumb, and said dissatisfiedly: "You guys are making a noise, if you go on like this, you will not be trapped to death, but you will also be suffocated." ”
The four swordsmen were not annoyed as usual, Hong Manjiang was bored with himself, and slapped the slate in front of him with a palm, only to hear: "boom" exploded, and the heavy slate was slapped in half.
After this click, a small crack appeared in the stone slab above their heads, but in the darkness, no one could see it.
"These slabs are too much of a hindrance, so I simply broke them all, otherwise I will always be trapped in this maze, when will I be able to complete the task?"
Hong Manjiang said dissatisfiedly, and then slammed his palm, breaking a stone slab again, the four sword attendants all heard his words, and felt that this made sense, they had been trapped in this secret room for a day, and this was the only way to escape.
A huge sound of bombardment of stone slabs sounded in the secret room, and it spread far in the tunnel, Feng Mu heard the movement at the exit, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
"You still can't hold it back, this is just the trick of the gentleman. Feng Mu muttered to himself, and then hurriedly called the soldiers outside the door in.
After a soldier came in, Feng Mu said as he walked: "Go and tell Lord Wang that he will allow me to lead two hundred people and carry water to the camp tent of the Chinese army." ”
"Why is that?"
"Don't ask, hurry up and tell me, now 100,000 is in a hurry, and you can't afford to make a slight mistake. After Feng Mu finished speaking, he ran out of the door and went to his own room to get a gourd, the gourd was filled with poison potion, which he refined according to the method taught by Mo Ziye, and failed countless times before and after, and found a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants to test, which was a little small.
He was anxious, but after a while, more than two hundred soldiers had already appeared in front of him, Feng Mu saw that there were no wooden barrels in their hands, and asked anxiously: "What about wooden barrels, how can you carry water without wooden barrels?"
"Even if all the wooden barrels in the army are collected together, it will be difficult to gather four hundred for a while, and the big tent is still dozens of zhang away from the river, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Now that we can make up as many barrels as we can, the plan has changed, and everyone is lined up in a long snake formation, leaving twenty people to fetch water by the river, and passing them to the Chinese military camp tent in turn, without further ado, act quickly. ”
After Feng Mu finished speaking, he ran into the tent of the Chinese army, listening to the sound coming from the secret room, sweat was already pouring out of his forehead, not only because of the hot weather, but also because of the nervousness of his mood.
If this continues, the five people below will soon be able to break all the stone walls that block them, and then the top of the chamber will not be able to withstand the heavy pressure, and it will collapse.
This is also in Mr. Wang Yangming's consideration, but he didn't expect them to really make such a decision.
"Fortunately, this situation has been taken into account, so that the top of the chamber is already filled with fine sand, and if all the stone walls below are broken, the zenith will fall, and then the mud and sand will bury you, so that you will be abusive, so that you will not return. ”
Feng Mu's palms were already sweating, the soldier's water had not yet been transmitted, but the movement below had not stopped for a moment. Although the mud and sand pouring down could fill the secret room, he was still not at ease, the other party was not an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, so naturally he couldn't guess it with common sense.
What if the mud and sand couldn't trap them? Feng Mu was afraid that they would not die fast enough, so he planned to pour water on the mud and sand, and then mix the poison he had refined into it.
Time seemed to freeze, Feng Mu's sweat trickled down, the soldiers around him also looked solemn, the bombardment below was much quieter, Feng Mu knew that they had broken the formation, but without the support of the stone wall, why hadn't the zenith of the secret room collapsed?
"No, they have already sensed the clue, the most critical slate must not be interrupted, everyone quickly gather here, listen to my command, raise your left foot, step down together, left and right, left and right, left and right. ”
Feng Mu wanted to use the principle of resonance to trample on the ground that was already at the end of the crossbow, bury the assassins below in the secret room, and stifle their assassination plan. The cracks in the ground grew bigger and bigger, and many soldiers worked together to finally trample the ground down.
A happy smile appeared on Feng Mu's face, and at this moment, the first bucket of water finally came through, Feng Mu hurriedly poured the poison potion in the gourd into it, and then asked them to pour the water on the collapsed ground.
Immediately after, the second bucket of water came, and then the third bucket, seeing more and more buckets coming, Feng Mu's tense heartstrings were finally relieved.
But what he didn't know was that the five people below had already found the exit of the secret passage before the mud and sand poured down, and they had quickly fled towards the exit.
