Chapter 152 Secret Passage (2) Second Update
The second year of high school students took the jug and walked towards the water vat. There was a lot of water left in the small jug, but Wu Chen was afraid it would not be enough.
Wu Chen looked at Guo Xuan again. Guo Xuan was not close at all, but Wu Chen still saw him and took three steps back.
"What are you afraid of?!" Wu Chen yelled.
Guo Xuan's whole body was filled with excitement. Could he not be afraid? If someone were to accompany Wu Chen down, he would definitely be the one bringing the government servants with him. Would it be useful to have a stomachache at this time?
"I don't need you to accompany me down. You can send a few government officials to guard the entrance of the tunnel. Also, let me remind you that if something happens to those people detained in the county government office, let alone the official hat on your head. Even the head on your neck can’t be saved!”
Guo Xuan’s heart relaxed first, and then tightened. After this relaxation and tightening, his legs completely lost control and he sat down on the ground. .
Wu Chen snorted, looked at Song Gu and said:
"This county captain needs to be carefully interrogated. The county government... I'm afraid there will be a replacement, and it's my fault. I could have thought in advance that the county government office was unsafe, but now I have to We hope Zhang San’s people will help us protect those in the Taoist temple.”
Wu Chen hummed, and then said: "No one else needs to follow me tonight. I will take my second brother down. If my second brother and I don't come back tomorrow, I can help Deputy Envoy Yu mobilize troops to seal the mountain! We can only rely on the government officials and soldiers to seal the mountain." "Don't stop."
Wu Chen said and looked at Yu. Shi'an solemnly raised his hands and said, "Deputy Ambassador Yu only needs to seal the mountain. The rest will wait for the official orders. But this secret passage must not be tried again."
The second year of high school led the team He came back with a wine bottle filled with water and stood at the entrance of the tunnel and urged: : "Hurry up, if you keep talking, it will be daybreak."
Wu Chen smiled, and just as he was about to turn around, he asked Song Gu worriedly:
"County Magistrate Already under my custody, he believed the slander and killed five hundred soldiers. It was said that the Cao family was being robbed by underworld soldiers, and the murder of the Cao family was attributed to Cao Bingshan, the younger brother of the deceased Cao Bingde. When I saw Cao Bingshan, Cao Bingshan was almost out of breath. Now he is being treated in the house. I am afraid that the county captain has some credit... …”
"Oh, coming out alive is better than anything else! Let's talk about it then." The sophomore urged again.
Wu Chen hugged Song Gu and Yu Shian, took the torch from the yamen servant, and went down the tunnel with the high school sophomore.
......
Yu Shian and Song Gu looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
Song Gu cherishes each other, but is unable to stop them.
Yu Shi'an felt a little guilty. He was obviously a good young man, but he had made things difficult for him before, which he really shouldn't have done.
The two sighed at the same time. Yu Shian braced himself and arranged for the government officials to set up defenses, leaving only one soldier beside him. He ordered the other soldier to immediately go to the nearby garrison to mobilize troops, regardless of whether Wu Chen could be safe or not. Come back, this old world mountain must be sealed!
Song Gu was waiting aside. There were not many people following him up the mountain. If he wanted to ensure the safety of the tunnel entrance, he needed to send more people up the mountain. Yu Shian was making arrangements, but he was a little anxious while waiting. The county government Are those people safe at this moment? Even if Zhang San's people are secretly protecting him, how can they protect him completely?
......
Wu Chen and his sophomore class went into the tunnel. The tunnel was much wider than the entrance of the tunnel. It could accommodate three people walking side by side. There were no steps, just a gentle slope, so walking was not strenuous. , Wu Chen held up a torch and looked at the mountains on both sides and the road at his feet. The mountains on both sides had obvious ax chisel marks and were full of potholes, but the road at his feet was much smoother.
"Do you think there is no risk in this trip?" the sophomore asked with a smile.
Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked: "How do you know?"
"If there is a risk, you will definitely go alone and not call me, and you have no arrangements. Datou, it shows that you know this trip is worry-free.”
“So you urge me to hurry up.” Wu Chen said with a smile.
"We have been out for a long time and haven't eaten a grain of rice. Aren't you hungry? Run your errands quickly and go back to have a good meal after finishing. This is what Datou taught you."
Wu Chen sighed and said: "You have been urging me for a long time, but I have forgotten what I wanted to say. You said that if we enter the cave and find several people who are still alive, they will not be able to leave and follow us down the mountain. What should we do? "
"Yes! Those people may have been tortured by Su Chang. How can we bring them down the mountain?"
Wu Chen patted the high school sophomore on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to worry now."
"Why?"
"This tunnel won't be very long."< br>
"Ah? How did you see that?"
"Look at the ground. It should have been carefully polished to make it easier for them to drag. Look at the tunnel entrance. It's so narrow. If the people they brought were awake, , just tied their hands, if there is some struggle, it is difficult for them to get in, so He must have been brought down with his hands and feet tied up, or even in a coma, so the ground needs to be leveled, but if you want to smooth the ground in the mountains, it will take a lot of time and effort. How capable do you think Prince Cheng is? How many people are arranged in the mountain? How old is he? How old are you?”
“Probably in his early fifties. Among the uncles in the official family, Prince Cheng is the most worry-free. I mean, from the outside, he only knows how to become an immortal. He ignored the affairs of the court. His sons and grandsons were all idle at home. They had no errands and did not see him. Ask the official to ask for it, otherwise he can be the prince."
Wu Chen stopped and said to himself: "I have never asked about Prince Cheng before, but why do I know that Prince Cheng has no real power. ?”
“Who are you asking?”
"I mean there must be something that makes me feel like this." Wu Chen started to move forward again.
The second year of high school said: "That's because you thought of it, but you didn't say it because of something at the time, otherwise I would have remembered it."
Wu Chen nodded and said: "Get to the end quickly."
“So short?!”
Wu Chen has heard the sound of insects in the mountains and forests.
Sure enough, soon the two of them vaguely saw a tree and vine in front of them blocking the exit.
Wu Chen and Gao Er quickened their pace. When they reached the entrance of the cave, Gao Er was holding a long sword. Without stopping for a moment, he swung his sword to cut off the vines, and then wanted to step forward and pull the vines off.
Wu Chen grabbed the second grader and said, "This thing should have a mechanism. They often go through this tunnel with people, cutting them off again and again. It doesn't make sense to make new ones."
Wu Chen said and touched the mountains on both sides of the cave entrance. Sure enough, he touched a relatively smooth stone on the right side. Wu Chen asked the second grader to twist it. He was afraid that if he didn't control his strength well, he would destroy the mechanism and be in trouble.
The second year high school student twisted the stone and the vines at the entrance of the cave moved to one side.
"It also has rails!" Wu Chen sighed, and then he thought that rails were needed to move, whether up or down or left or right.
Wu Chen smiled and shook his head. He always underestimated the abilities of people here, which was very bad.
As the vines shifted, a forest path appeared in front of us in the darkness, which was dark and a little eerie. (End of this chapter)
