Chapter 372: Aftermath (2)
What makes people feel strange is that the two sides have been shooting each other with bows and arrows for such a long time, neither Ruyan nor Ruiz and the others have shown up, and they don't know where they are hiding now.
Qing Yu frowned tightly and looked at Liang Dong with a puzzled expression. Liang Dong shook his head gently, his downwind ears didn't hear any sound, and he didn't know if there were special soundproofing measures in the dungeon, or if Ruiz and the others were deliberately covering up their tracks.
Qingyu thought for a while, then went back and discussed with Ji Yaohua and Deng Yong, who came in with a new batch of people, for a while, and then made a decision. Their group is stronger than Ruiz and the others, and there is no reason to give up their advantages casually.
Deng Yong divided the dozens of sergeants who entered the middle courtyard into three groups, one group followed Qing Yu, Su Zhi, Zhang Jiyu, Sun Xiuqing and Wuhua Monk Five, walked straight to the middle gate together, and marched towards the deepest part of the underground palace.
The second group of people followed Ji Yaohua, which she took the initiative to propose, and Ji Yaohua will take Liang Dong and Zhou Wan'er and more than ten sergeants to march towards the warehouse in the depths of the underground palace.
There are not only warehouses there, but also pharmacies and dining rooms nearby, where there are all kinds of medicinal materials that An Yunshan has scavenged over the years, and it is very likely that the antidote to the toxin in Ji Yaohua is also among them.
Although Zhou Wan'er has begun to help Ji Yaohua detoxify, no one knows how long this process will take, and taking Zhou Wan'er to the warehouse area, it is very likely that she will directly find out the antidote to the toxin in Ji Yaohua. Even if she can't find an antidote, Zhou Wan'er can use some traces of medicinal materials to help Ji Yaohua detoxify.
The third group of people was led by Deng Yong himself, not only these people who are now in the underground palace, but also the continuous reinforcements that came behind were also under Deng Yong's unified command. After all, he is the nominal commander of this army, and they don't need too many people to clear the surplus, so it is common sense for Deng Yong to be in charge.
Deng Yong needs to do a lot of things, not only does he lead his soldiers, occupy the entire underground palace little by little, and eliminate all those who dare to resist; he also has to keep an eye on the traces of Ruiz and others, once he finds something, he will immediately lead people to come forward to surround it, and at the same time send people to notify Qing Yu and others; when others are in danger, Deng Yong also needs to send troops to support in time to ensure that the task is finally successfully completed.
However, after all, Deng Yong was born in the army, so he is naturally handy in dealing with these things, and it is very suitable.
Assigned to everything, the group nodded silently, and then parted ways. Anyone in this line may encounter Ruiz and his group, except for Qing Yu and his group, who are sure enough, everyone else may encounter the end of the group. But they must stubbornly entangle Ryze and his gang to prevent them from getting out easily, while waiting for their companions to come to their aid. Among them, if you are not careful, you may die directly.
Liang Dong and Zhou Wan'er followed behind Ji Yaohua, and they were tightly protected by several catchers on both sides with long shields in their hands. The group entered another cave in the dungeon from the corner door on the left, and kept moving forward and groping.
A man in black held his breath and hid behind a corridor pillar, holding several hidden weapons tightly in his hand, and just as Liang Dong and his party had just stepped into this corridor, he immediately turned around and sprinkled the hidden weapon in his hand in a starry manner towards the location where everyone was. However, just as he was letting go of his secret weapon, a long arrow had already pierced the sky and pierced his throat.
Ji Yaohua's long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, drawing an arc in front of her, and as soon as she vomited her true qi, all the hidden weapons were absorbed on the long sword, and she couldn't help everyone at all.
"Let's go!" Ji Yaohua glanced back at everyone, waved her hand, and beckoned everyone to continue walking.
Along the way, the group had already passed through several caves, and at every moment someone was attacking from the shadows. However, there were no real masters among these people, and as soon as they appeared, they were shot through the throat by Liang Dong, who had discovered one step in advance. Even if there were any fish that slipped through the net, Ji Yaohua could be enough to prevent any attacks from hurting them.
The group passed through several more caves and finally came to the warehouse. Ji Yaohua whispered to the others: "A few of you guard the entrance of the cave, and anyone else comes in, Liang Dong, you and Wan'er come in with me." ”
"Hmm!" Liang Dong nodded lightly, hesitated slightly, and reminded in a low voice: "Lord Ji, it's better to be more careful, the treasury is heavy, and it is impossible for An Yunshan not to send someone to guard it." Besides, they don't know about your poisoning, and there is a good chance that there will be an ambush here. ”
Hearing Liang Dong say this, Ji Yaohua was slightly stunned, but she quickly nodded, although there was some confusion on her face, the hand holding the long sword had already tightened.
Ji Yaohua groaned slightly, asked for two torches from several fast catchers, handed them to Liang Dong and Butterfly, and said with a fierce face: "If we are ambushed, you two will set the entire warehouse on fire for him, I don't believe they are really willing to give up everything here." ”
"Hmm!" Liang Dong and Zhou Wan'er glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. Ji Yaohua is right, if there is really an ambush inside, the place in the warehouse is narrow, and there are not many people who can do it at the same time. As long as you set fire to the storehouse with a torch, you will definitely be able to escape.
Seeing that Liang Dong and the two understood, Ji Yaohua turned her head to look at her subordinates, and continued to order: "Now you go out alone, bring all of our people here, block all this area, and don't let anyone enter and leave at will." Got it?"
"Understood!" the many catchers present immediately sighed and responded at the same time. Ji Yaohua helped the emperor to exterminate Cai Xiang's party this time, and her prestige was great among the six gates, in fact, everyone knew that it must be Cai Xiang who secretly plotted to kill the gods. The others are just in charge of doing it, and Cai Xiang is the one who is really planning secretly. Cai Xiang this time, in fact, is equivalent to avenging the god of hunting.
For Ji Yaohua to take over the six doors, almost everyone thinks that it is the most suitable, including herself, who originally thought so. But after Liang Dong's reminder, she gradually realized the risks involved.
Of course, Ji Yaohua can also use other means to try to sit in the position of the leader of the six doors for a longer period of time, but this will also bring certain risks. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and it is impossible for Ji Yaohua to put the future and fate of herself and her sisters in the hands of the thoughtful emperor. So after Liang Dong talked to her, it didn't take long for Ji Yaohua to make a decision in her heart, but all this had to wait for her to detoxify the poison in her body.
As soon as she entered the warehouse, Ji Yaohua began to take Zhou Wan'er to look around, while Liang Dong cautiously guarded the surroundings.
Zhou Wan'er inspected the things stored in the warehouse while helping to find the antidote to the toxin in Ji Yaohua's house. But it wasn't easy. There was a lot of mess in the warehouse, mainly food and some weapons such as swords.
Liang Dong also went over to check it out, but there was nothing good or valuable here, if nothing else, it should have been searched by Ruiz and the others first.
This time the death confrontation mission, the overall situation is basically decided, the fate of An Yunshan's side is irretrievable, unless they can directly wipe out Liang Dong and his party, otherwise, they can only wait to return to the space, and then be directly wiped out. Therefore, looking for something valuable in An Yunshan's private treasure trove and going back to sell it to the mission space may be able to offset their fate of being wiped out.
"There's no antidote here, it seems that we have to find it somewhere else!" Zhou Wan'er said to Ji Yaohua with some embarrassment.
"It's okay!" Ji Yaohua shook her head lightly and said calmly: "I don't expect to be able to find the antidote directly in the warehouse. If the antidote really exists, it should be hidden in the pharmacy, and the probability of hiding there is greater. ”
"Well, let's go to the pharmacy and have a look!" Liang Dong whispered, and took the lead in the direction of the pharmacy.
There was a small door in the storeroom that led to the dining room next door, and the pharmacy was next door to the dining room. This area has been blocked by the six doors under Ji Yaohua, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave at all except for his own people.
Liang Dong walked cautiously into the dining room, which was much narrower than the storeroom, and the rock walls on either side were full of jars full of fine wine.
"Some of these wines are ordinary fine wines, some are violently poisoned wines, and some are specially made medicinal wines. The poisoned wine I drank was obtained from this, so I suspect that the antidote is also in it. Ji Yaohua pointed to the wine cave on the rock wall and explained to Zhou Wan'er, her face was extremely solemn.
At the beginning, Ji Yaohua had searched here several times, but in the end she still didn't find anything, and even let Ruyan bump into her. But fortunately, although she did not find the antidote to the poisonous wine at the beginning, she did find the antidote to restrain the smoke and disguise technique, and finally played a great role on the night of the palace coup.
