Chapter 153: Down the Tunnel
After three rounds of going back and forth, everyone entered the shop, and only Bai Yingping was still outside with the pursuers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The last time was really thrilling, if Bai Yingping hadn't dragged around the intersection for a while, the location where they got off would have been discovered.
Ye Cheng leaned his back against the wooden door for a long time.
Everyone gathered around the door, looking anxious. Zhu Ziju, who has always been calm, asked a little anxiously this time, "Eighth brother, where are the white brothers?" ”
At this time, Yin He walked out of the shop with a serious face.
The man who opened the door for everyone immediately greeted Yin He and said, "Shopkeeper, as soon as I opened the door, they poured in."
Ye Cheng hurriedly took a breath and replied to Zhu Ziju's words, "He will be back soon, you guys pay attention here" After speaking, he walked up to Yin He and explained very apologetically, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Yin, I was supposed to come back tomorrow night, but we were found out and had to come over early"
Yin Yan looked up at the people standing in the doorway, and then said to the man next to him, "You go down and tell them to open the tunnel as soon as possible." The action was ahead of schedule, everyone went into the tunnel, and I came later."
"Yes," the man walked towards the back of the shop.
"Action?" Ye Cheng was a little curious when he heard the tunnel, and looked slightly in the direction where the man was walking, but there was a wall blocking it, so he couldn't see the situation in the backyard.
Although I don't know what kind of action Yin Hao and they are digging the tunnel? But now being able to avoid more than 10,000 value-added soldiers underground and enter the Heavenly Ancient Kingdom has helped a lot.
This will Yin He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "You remember to wait for what you see, and don't ask why you hear anything." You just have to follow honestly, and come with the old lady."
Yin Hao turned and walked towards the back of the shop.
Ye Cheng hurriedly stopped, "Shopkeeper Yin, wait, we still have one person who hasn't come back, we have to wait, it's the one who came with me today"
"Then you guys wait and come over quickly," Yin Hao said and walked towards the back of the shop.
At this time, time passed little by little, and there was no movement outside, very quiet. The night gradually darkened, and the cold air of the wind and snow blew in through the crack in the door, and everyone calmed down and felt the cold of the wind and snow.
Ye Cheng leaned his back against the door, and his mouth kept puffing into his hands. I was still very anxious in my heart: "Bai Yingping, where have you been?" Come back soon."
At this time, the man just now came out again and urged, "It's night, the shopkeeper has ordered action, let you hurry over"
Ye Cheng hurriedly bought some more time, he knew that Bai Yingping would definitely come back. Straighten up to face the man and say, "Wait, our friend will be back soon."
Bai Yingping did not return for a long time. Zhu Ziju also felt that something was wrong, and came to Ye Cheng's side and whispered, "Eighth brother, what should I do now?" Brother Bai, will he...."
"Bang Bang Bang"
At this time, the door rang three times. Everyone suddenly fell silent and held their breath as they looked at the door.
Ye Cheng hurriedly turned around and stuck to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Bai Yingping, is it you?" ”
"It's me"
Hearing Bai Yingping's voice, everyone in the shop smiled, and their worries finally eased.
Ye Cheng hurriedly opened the door, and after Bai Yingping came in, he stretched out his head and went out to take a look. There was no one in the dark street, only the snow that was still falling.
He quickly retracted his head and closed the door, and asked behind Bai Yingping, "Where did you go just now?" Why did it take so long to come back."
Bai Yingping patted the snow on his body and explained, "After going out to the street and losing the carriage, I wanted to see if it was possible to get out of the city, so I used the feather crane to go to the city wall to take a look." At the west gate, I heard a soldier say that the four gates of the county town were already full of soldiers."
As she spoke, Bai Yingping looked at Ye Cheng with a stern face and continued, "We have no way to escape from the city."
Hearing Bai Yingping say this, Ye Cheng lowered his head and pondered, he thought of those soldiers who did not chase into the city, they had always been very strange before, but now they understood. Those pursuers wanted to catch turtles in an urn, but the pursuers didn't expect that they would secretly cross Chen Cang.
But Ye Cheng was a little suspicious of them, and Yin He only said to help them, but did not say how to help. He kept guessing in his heart what the action in Yin He's mouth was going on?
"Do you want to go or not," the man urged again.
Ye Cheng looked at Bai Yingping with a suspicious attitude and said, "We don't need to go out of the city, let's go and see Shopkeeper Yin."
Fasten the door and follow the man down a corridor, where you can see someone carrying two baskets of dirt coming out of a house. Walking around, Ye Cheng saw that the dirt was freshly dug.
Entering that house, Ye Cheng was suddenly a little surprised! The house was full of shovels, hoes, baskets, and ..... It's all some digging tools.
There was a hole near the door, and several men were in charge of pulling up the baskets of dirt at the entrance, and several baskets were already placed around the hole.
As a basket of dirt was pulled up, a man under the cave shouted, "Shopkeeper, the tunnel has been opened"
Yin He stood next to the entrance of the cave, patted a man on the shoulder after hearing the voice, whispered something, and then walked up to Ye Cheng and said, "You follow me down the cave, remember what I said just now, don't ask anything"
Ye Cheng nodded. Although I promised not to ask, I still wondered where this hole would lead in the end?
Yin Hao looked at the man who led Ye Cheng and them in and said, "You guys will go down the tunnel after the aftermath" After speaking, she walked back to the entrance of the cave and slowly climbed down the hole.
Ye Cheng hurriedly followed.
At this time, Bai Yingping grabbed Ye Cheng's shoulder and said, "Be careful of deception"
Yin He's actions also made Ye Cheng very strange, and he was also worried about fraud. It is not like this tunnel was dug only for them, and it is impossible to dig the tunnel as soon as I saw Ye Cheng, it should have been dug a long time ago, but the purpose of the excavation is not clear.
Ye Cheng turned his head and said, "If you come here, you will be safe, besides, there are still a large number of value-added soldiers outside to hunt us down, we have no choice" Then he looked at everyone and continued, "After going down to the tunnel, everyone be careful, and shout loudly when you encounter something"
Ye Cheng was the first to go down, and then climbed down one by one.
The tunnel below is narrow and has no end in sight, allowing only one person to move forward. And the light was dim, and there was a rectangular groove in the mud wall at intervals, in which torches hung it.
After carefully advancing in the tunnel for a while, I felt a chill coming down from the top of my head. Ye Cheng touched the dirt on the top with his hand a little strangely, and he could feel that the soil was very cold in the palm of his hand.
"What's going on? Shouldn't the underground tunnel be so cold, isn't it very far from the ground? ”
As he passed through a groove where the torch was placed, Ye Cheng took a closer look. Suddenly, I noticed that there was a bamboo tube above the groove, and the flames were also flickering under the bamboo tube.
