Chapter 242 Preparation (Second update)
Wu Chen pointed to the iron gate at the end and said:
“If the iron gate is destroyed, the river water will naturally pour into the tunnel, and the bottom of the river will be revealed. , those four monsters are most afraid of light, and if there is sunlight, I don’t need to take action, just pretend that they don’t exist, and then dig the bottom of the river. If there is a dark room, they will definitely be able to dig it out. No matter where the entrance to the secret passage is, I will Palm down, that's the entrance , when you enter the secret room, all the answers will come out."
Xing Yun pointed to the iron door and asked: "How to destroy the iron door? I have tried it before. The iron plate is thick. If you can't find it. How to open it, think of it I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy the iron gate manually. "
Wu Chen said: "I'll go and see first. Destroying it shouldn't be the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is how to destroy it at the same time. Drowned.”
...
Li Heng was sitting by the river, with the old eunuch serving beside him. The people who had followed him came back one after another.
These people have gone down this secret passage countless times. This time they were just playing with the officials. There was no need for them to report anything, so they would naturally come back faster.
Wu Chen was still at the iron gate in the secret passage, discussing with Xing Yun how to save his life while bringing in the river water.
“...We still need to find someone to dig the secret passage downwards and dig out a slope so that the ground in the secret passage is lower than the bottom of the river so that water can pour back. The road in the secret passage is lower. Here I am. The water level will not be too high. Even if I cannot leave immediately, I will not drown. As long as I have a rope on my body, I will not be washed away by the river.”
Xing Yun frowned and asked: "Can you push down this iron gate alone?"
"It can't be pushed down! There used to be a dark room in front of the iron gate to prevent the iron gate from standing directly in the water, but the air humidity was too high. Iron gates are inevitable The rust is stuck in the mountain. It’s too hard to push it down. I can only shoot a few holes, preferably here, but I can’t exert my strength in this position.”
Wu Chen squatted. I got down and tried it. He stood up again and said: "Today, I will order someone to dig down the ground in the secret passage. The lower the better. After dawn tomorrow, I will try..."
"Try? If you want I'm not sure, be careful to enter the palace!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't let you go. It's not easy to find someone as smart as me! Besides, the methods are all tried and tested, and you know this iron gate. Thick..."
"If I join forces with you..."
"You should take a rest. With you next to me, I have to consider not to hurt you when I use my strength. It is really troublesome."
" You..."
"Go up, Your Majesty is waiting impatiently."
...
Wu Chen told Li Heng his idea. Today he would dig a tunnel first, and tomorrow he would destroy the iron gate and dig the bottom of the river. If he was lucky, he would be able to see where the silver was hidden tomorrow. If he failed tomorrow, Wu Chen would think of another way.
After listening to Wu Chen's words, Li Heng was silent for a long time and said, "Maybe it can be done in one day?"
Wu Chen immediately thought that Li Heng might have left the palace secretly.
Wu Chen looked at Li Heng, who was frowning, and then looked up at the sun above his head, and said:
"Send more people down and dig down two feet in an hour. , I will go down and try to destroy the iron gate. As long as the river water can be poured back, the remaining It's easy to deal with, there is no sunshine, we also have torches, and there are many people, I should be able to deal with those monsters, at worst, I will be beaten to death, let's do it! That one and that one, two generals! Let’s see how many people can be mobilized?”
The old eunuch Liu Jinzhong looked at Wu Chen who was giving orders in surprise. Just when he was about to say something to stop him, Li Heng said: "It's all at Wu Chen's disposal."
...
Wu Chen finished arranging the soldiers. , then went back for lunch. He knew that he would have to use all his strength to eat milk later. The iron gate was not as easy to destroy as the cave.
High school sophomore Xu Da, Song Gu, and Yu Shian were all curious to hear what happened because they did not follow Wu Chen in the morning, but Wu Chen was in a hurry to eat and had to go to the river to prepare after dinner, so he did not have much time. He only said a few words, and the four of them wanted to follow, but they couldn't follow without an order, so they could only sit and ponder.
After Wu Chen ate, he hurried back to the river.
Li Heng also went back to eat. Apart from being surrounded by soldiers, there were no mounds of earth beside the river. I think the earth and rocks dug out from the ground must have been transported to the exit.
Li Heng was not there, but Chen Zhong was sitting by the river.
Wu Chen walked over with a smile and said, "Sir Zun is in great spirits."
"Except for the lack of pleasures in fish and water, the cleansing and entering the palace are very good." Chen Zhong looked at it Talking to the river.
"I don't see how good you are! I said, if the government makes a decree, I will kill you first. I am not joking. Xing Yun is not my opponent."
< br>
After Wu Chen finished speaking, he walked to the tree. There were several kinds of ropes placed under the tree. Wu Chen picked them up and looked at them one by one, as if he didn't even notice Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong's fair old face twitched, and then said: "I am saving your life."
"Then I have to thank the Secretary properly." Wu Chen took a A thicker rope was used to test the strength. He only used two parts of his hands and the rope broke instantly.
"I will find a good family for Nanzhu. Not only will he be rich and prosperous, but he will also be able to take charge of the family."
Wu Chen picked up another rope and tied it around his waist to try it out. Said: "I'm going to thank Si Zun on Gu Ping's behalf, but I will make the final decision on her marriage, so I won't bother Si Zun about it."
"She is my adopted daughter..."
"You are old, and you can still dance for a few more years... Let's make a bet." Wu Chen turned to look at Chen Zhong with a smile: "If you can stand up before returning to Kyoto, I will listen to you in everything, and I will do it if you ask me to do it." Body, if you let me enter the palace, I will enter the palace. If you can't stand up..." Wu Chen stopped his smile and said seriously: "You'd better not get involved in my affairs anymore, otherwise, you won't be able to stand up. ."
After that, Wu Chen turned his head and started playing with the rope again.
Chen Zhong's face turned a little pale, thoughts of killing immediately flashed through his mind, and then he felt a cramp in his stomach...
...
Wu Chen smiled as he watched the old eunuch Liu Jinzhong and several soldiers holding up unknown leaves and waving them vigorously at the place where Chen Zhong left just now. There were also soldiers who shoveled and shoveled the ground where Chen Zhong had just passed. The shoveled soil was taken away, then covered with loess dug from nowhere, and sprinkled with water.
Wu Chen knew that Lao Hei could only torment Chen Zhong, but he could not kill Chen Zhong, but this torment alone was enough for Chen Zhong to enjoy.
After everything was packed, Li Heng came with Xing Yun.
Li Heng told Wu Chen that the underground tunnel had been dug. Wu Chen said that he would go down first to take a look. As soon as he jumped down, Xing Yun followed him.
Wu Chen didn't say anything. The two of them checked along the road and found that the terrain was indeed lower than before. After a quick inspection, the two returned to the ground. Wu Chen began to tie a rope to his body, and told Xing Yun to find a few more people to hold one end of the rope, and to send someone to protect the official's house. The thing in the river was indeed afraid of light, but it must be protected. If there is something wrong with me, why am I suddenly no longer afraid?
