Chapter 444: The Chamber of Secrets
Shen Yuxing held the torch in one hand and searched carefully along the wall, Yuan Fang and Yuqing watched quietly under the protection of several female soldiers' heavy shields, they were all laymen in this kind of thing, and they didn't dare to mess around. Updates are fast and ad-free.
Lin Hu brought someone over, stood at the door and asked, "Lord Yuan, do you need my help?" ”
Yuan Fang thought for a while and said, "Not for the time being." ”
At this time, Shen Yuxing had already looked at this small warehouse, but he didn't find anything, and when he heard the conversation between Yuan Fang and Lin Hu, Shen Yuxing proposed: "I can't find it, my lord, I think it's better to tear down those mechanisms at the door, and maybe you can find the main switch by following the leads of those mechanisms." ”
No nonsense, this time, it was still the Praetorian Guard, but this time they were all cautious, after all, no one knew if there were other dangers.
Soon, the walls on both sides of the passage were dug up, and what appeared in front of everyone was two huge rectangular iron boxes on the left and right, each with more than a dozen repeating crossbows in the iron boxes, as well as dense gears or something, which dazzled everyone.
Shen Yuxing exclaimed: "Good thing, this is the first time I've seen such a sophisticated mechanism." ”
Yuan Fang said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get to work." ”
Shen Yuxing nodded hurriedly, instructed the Praetorian Guard to carefully lift the two iron boxes, checked for a while, and finally found the main gear, and stuck it with an iron stick, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be okay now." ”
Yuan Fang looked at Shen Yuxing and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Shen Yuxing didn't dare to be 100% sure: "Nine times out of ten, unless the mechanism inside is not connected to here, there should be no danger." ”
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "That means you can't be sure, right?" Shen Yuxing nodded embarrassedly.
Seeing Yuan Fang's hesitation, Lin Hu took the initiative to ask: "My lord, let's go and have a look first." ”
Yuqing also said without showing weakness: "Let's go." ”
Yuan Fang hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Hu: "Then there is General Lao, but pay attention to safety." ”
Lin Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, turned around and beckoned his subordinates to come in, Yuqing glanced at Yuan Fang, knowing that Yuan Fang didn't want to let himself take risks, so naturally he didn't want to say anything, and ordered his female soldiers to give Lin Hu a part of the heavy shield for protection, Lin Hu thanked him repeatedly, and after his people were ready, a team of Praetorian Guards raised heavy shields and slowly walked into the passage in a circle, walking towards the heavy brass gate.
The mechanism of the gate was already stuck, and there was no way to open it normally, so Lin Hu had to pry it hard with an iron stick, but fortunately, these soldiers of the Praetorian Guard had the strength to forcibly tear down the gate.
With a bang, the heavy gate fell, and at the same time, Lin Hu and the Praetorian Guards around him formed a shield wall with heavy shields, and they were half-crouched down and hid behind to prevent the mechanism inside from firing hidden weapons.
After a while, there was no movement inside the gate, Lin Hu threw two torches in, and found that there was a not wide corridor inside, probably only enough for the three of them to walk side by side.
After throwing something into it and testing it a few times, after making sure that there was no danger, Lin Hu took the lead and walked into the road, carefully pushed forward, and lit the torches and oil lamps on the walls along the way. After walking for more than 20 meters, a T-junction appeared, Lin Hu hesitated for a moment and turned to the right first, disappearing from everyone's sight.
After waiting for a while, Yuan Fang couldn't wait and said to Yuqing, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
Yuqing did not object, called more than a dozen heavy shield hands, and formed a defensive shield array in the same way, Yuan Fang, Yuqing, Sang Rou, and Jieyue were protected in the middle, and carefully entered the passage. Soon, the group came to the T-junction, first looked to the right, only to see Lin Hu and they were dozens of meters away, there was also an iron gate, they were using the method just now to smash and pry, Yuqing looked at Yuan Fang and asked: "Are we waiting here or going over there?" As he spoke, he pointed to the passage on the left.
Yuan Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to the left." ”
Yuan Fang and the others only walked a few steps, and then they heard a muffled sound behind them, and then, a wave of qi was used, Yuan Fang hurriedly looked back, it turned out that the door had been pushed by Lin Hu and them, and before Yuan Fang could ask, he heard a series of exclamations.
Yuan Fang and Yuqing glanced at each other, and they all turned around and ran towards Lin Hu's side, Sang Rou and Yuyue followed closely with all their vigilance, and those female soldiers followed with heavy shields at the end.
In front of Lin Hu is an oval space, the area is not large, more than 100 square meters, at this time, there are two burning torches on the ground of the hall, which Lin Hu threw into just now, and what makes everyone exclaim is that there are many shelves around the hall, on which there are countless gold and silver neatly stacked, looking at it, it is unimaginably many anyway.
Lin Hu stood at the door, did not go in to avoid suspicion, but turned around and waited for Yuan Fang to arrive, and ordered his subordinates to get out of the way.
When Yuan Fang and his entourage came to the door, they were also stunned by the precious metals that exuded a soft luster inside, and for a long time, Yuan Fang swallowed his saliva and said, "Damn, how much silver does this have." ”
Sang Rou stood behind Yuan Fang, put her hands on Yuan Fang's shoulders, looked inside on her tiptoes, and said with some excitement: "Brother-in-law, it seems that most of this is gold." ”
Yuan Fang just wanted to go in, but Lin Hu reminded: "Lord Yuan, be careful. ”
Yuan Fang suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly held his steps, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's the first time I've seen so much money, I'm impulsive, impulsive." Lin Hu smiled indifferently, waved his hand to beckon a few subordinates, walked in with a shield, and shook around it a few times to make sure that there was no mechanism before returning to the door and making way for it.
Yuan Fang was very satisfied with Lin Hu's knowledge, patted him on the shoulder and said, "First merit." ”
In just two words, the meaning of the meaning is quite important to Lin Hu, and Lin Hu hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your promotion." ”
Yuan Fang waved his hand: "It's not me who promoted, these are all things you have exchanged for loyalty and bravery, and you deserve it." ”
At this time, Sang Rou and Yuqing had already entered the hall, Sang Rou picked up a gold ingot, and took a bite of the dust on it, and said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, it's real gold." ”
Yuan Fang smiled: "Yuqing, I'll leave it to you here." ”
Yuqing nodded and said, "Well, I'll make it clear." ”
Then, Yuqing said to Sang Rou, who was still immersed in surprise: "You go and call the ice geese in, by the way, let Xia Yi and Qingru lead people to block the nearby area, and no one is allowed to approach, and then ask Yu Jingqiu and Lin Menghan to go back to the palace immediately to report to His Highness." Sang Rou bowed and took the order to leave.
This side was handed over to Yuqing, Yuan Fang was quite relieved, and took Lin Hu to the left passage.
