Chapter 146 Back Mountain Cave (3) 2nd update
The stone is not light. Wu Chen ordered another person to wait at the same place. If he walked down the slope, if he didn't pay attention, he might take the stone with him. Roll down.
Wu Chen walked down the slope with a stone in his arms, put the stone down, and then began to wait.
The second grade of high school students hurriedly asked: "Why don't you roll the stone down?"
Wu Chen said seriously: "Deputy Ambassador Yu's soldiers are still down there, and we don't know what's down there. The situation, let’s wait until the soldiers who are going down find them and move away.”
Yu Shi'an glanced at Wu Chen. He had just thought of saying something to stop him, but he didn't say anything when he saw Wu Chen put down the stone. Now that he heard Wu Chen say this, he couldn't help but have a new view of Wu Chen. At least he was still In terms of benevolence and righteousness, it is not an arrogant person who completely disregards the life and death of others for the sake of merit.
Song Gu stood beside Yu Shian and saw the change in Yu Shian's face, so he took the opportunity to talk about the case of Jiang Shan, the magistrate of Anping County, who murdered seven people. Just after he finished speaking, he heard Yu Shian's words The soldiers shouted from the bottom of the mountain: "Report to Deputy Envoy Yu, they are still alive. "
Yu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Bring him back to the county for treatment immediately!"
Wu Chen turned his head and looked at Yu Shi'an, at least it could be seen from his tone and expression. , Yu Shian is still very worried about the safety of his soldiers, and this alone makes him stronger than Chen Zhong.
Wu Chen waited for a while, then squatted down and rolled the stone down the mountain, and then carefully examined the changes on the mountain.
Sure enough, where the stone rolled down, there was a sharp edge that bulged out and then fell back. You couldn't find it unless you looked carefully. The weeds covered it all very well.
Yu Shian, sophomores in high school and Song Gu also saw it.
Wu Chen tried another stone on the other side of the vine, and the sharp edge also fell down.
Wu Chen stood up and looked up at the sky.
Song Gu said: "At the moment, I only suspect that the vines are the entrance of the cave. If it is really the entrance of the cave, it seems that there are traps on both sides and below the entrance. It will be difficult to reach the entrance of the cave without preparation. There is another way. From where we are standing now, aim at the vines below, find a tree, tie the rope, and slowly go down.”
Yu Shian asked: "The entrance to the cave is covered with vines. It doesn't look like someone has come out from here, and there is no place to stand around. How are the traps set up?"
Wu Chen first turned around and faced the forest and asked: "You came out of this vine. The entrance of the cave?"
"Yes."
Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "What we see now is during the day, and Su Chang expected that I would come last night. ”
Song Gu had an expression of enlightenment.
Yu Shi'an frowned and looked at Wu Chen. He had always believed that Wu Chen must have a plan to carry him when he went up the mountain today. Although he didn't know what Wu Chen's plan was, he probably couldn't escape taking credit for it. Making an originally simple matter extremely complicated would make things difficult for him. Chen Zhong, and even the officials trusted him more.
But everything in front of him made Yu Shian feel that his idea might be wrong. It couldn't be that Wu Chen designed this performance for him, right?
At this time, Wu Chen said again:
"When I come at night, those ghosts will lead the way, and they will also come to this place, but I want to see clearly what is around the entrance of the cave, just by the moonlight I'm afraid it will be difficult! Maybe like Song Tixing said, if I see vines in some areas below, I will tie a rope. Go down and try, that way, Su Chang will get his wish! Now I know why when I told him about going up the mountain today, he looked so despairing..."
Yu Shi'an hurriedly asked: "He How do you know that you will take the risk yourself instead of ordering others to test it first?"
Wu Chen smiled and said:
"Not to mention whether he knows me well, but he knows that I never take idlers with me when I go up the mountain. I just said that I can't see what is in the weeds at night, and there are many mechanisms in this." After using it for the first time, people around me fell into the cliff. If he is very qingqi, he will naturally try it himself. Even if I am timid and cherish my life, I will send more people to try many times. According to his logic, I should transfer most of the policemen in the house and the yamen servants in the county government. It was originally a fake death. In this way, he would There is a chance to escape."
Song Gu said: "He knows that if you come during the day, you will definitely see something fishy, and I'm afraid you won't be fooled easily."
Wu Chen pointed out. He pointed at the vine and said:
"It can't be seen clearly at night, but as Deputy Ambassador Yu said, if someone had been in and out, how could the vines be all over the cave entrance without any gaps? And the side is almost straight up and down. I'm afraid his mechanism was set up inside the cave. ”
Yu Shi'an snorted coldly and said: "Didn't you say there are ghosts leading the way? Those ghosts don't know about this?"
Wu Chen nodded seriously and said:
"They really don't know. Their bodies were in the cave. Su Chang said that as long as the cave was destroyed, their bodies would also be destroyed, and they could leave. So they only knew how to lead the way. The cave was destroyed, but they didn’t know that they were also deceived by Su Chang. The cave couldn’t be destroyed, but they couldn’t get in. Anyone who got close would die. When our people tried again and again and lost their lives, Su Chang pretended to be dead and came back to life. You can go back to the cave through the other entrance."
"If I go back and serve Su Chang, I don't believe I can't find out where the other entrance is!" Gao Er said loudly.
Song Gu shook his head and said: "Wu Chen is still not sure whether Su Chang's words are true or false. How many of the words you tortured and forced to confess can be believed? And after these two comings and goings, the people alive in the cave are probably It can’t hold us in.”
"Is there anyone alive in the cave?" Yu Shi'an asked in surprise.
Song Gu was also a little surprised. He had roughly stated the purpose of going up the mountain this morning. Why did the deputy envoy not remember it so quickly?
It’s not that Yu Shian doesn’t remember, he just doesn’t believe it.
"If I hadn't rescued the people inside as soon as possible, why would I have gone up the mountain in such a hurry? I can have a good deal with Na Su Chang to see whether his soul-obsessing technique is more powerful or mine. Psychology is more powerful. Just look at Su Chang's calculations. He I don’t mind that we know the entrance to the cave, but we are confident that the cave will be cleaned up in a short time, or that these few days will be enough for him to get something. It’s hard to say yet..."
Wu Chen wrinkled He frowned and said:
"Su Changying never thought that he could fake his death. He even thought that he could subdue me in the illusion, making me believe that the murder of five hundred soldiers was the work of evil soldiers. The other arrangements were just in case, exposing the entrance to the cave. It should be his last resort. According to his logic, we must use all our skills to deal with this hole, but he didn't expect those ghosts to betray him. "
Wu Chen said. Walk up the slope.
"What do you mean? No hope of saving?" the high school sophomore caught up and asked.
Wu Chen said: "Of course I want to save him! I don't know when I can ask Su Chang. I don't know if calling him by his name will help. I have to starve him for two days anyway. It may be easier, but still, Someone knows where the other cave entrance is"
"Who?"
"Yu Hong!"(End of this chapter)
