C147 In the Alley He Thought to Himself
Night, always a good time to do things.
The man who met Xiangyi turned left and right, and who knew how many twists and turns he took. If one was not careful, he could disappear from the sight of the three people.
Yu Longchen hid among the roofs, searching for the man in the dark alley.
"He's gone." Miao Yingyu looked at the alley to her right. Her eyes were searching, but she could not find any trace of him.
"Let's go." Yu Longchen whispered and jumped down. He landed firmly on the ground at a distance of five or six meters.
Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu followed behind him. There was always a gap between their martial arts skills...
This was a dead end. There was no way out once they entered. The man was nowhere to be seen here.
The alley was dark, but it was not to the point where he could not see his own fingers.
Yu Longchen walked through the alley once, touching the wall from the outside to the inside.
Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen also fumbled around on the other side of the wall. A warm hand climbed up the cold wall, and Yuan Zhen's ears also stuck on it. Suddenly, his right hand touched something, shrank, and squeezed the thing he touched again.
That was Miao Yingyu's hand. It was soft. Yuan Zhen grabbed it. The bright eyes in the darkness looked at Miao Yingyu. She also turned her head over. He tried hard to pull his hand out but Yuan Zhen did not let go no matter what. The corner of his mouth also curled up, and his eyebrows slightly curved.
"What time is it? Let go, quickly find it! "Miao Yingyu's face turned red and could not be seen in the darkness. Her eyes were lowered and she made a few weird sounds.
"I can't bear to part with it." Yuan Zhen said this unintentionally. He was also shocked and slowly let go of Miao Yingyu.
Miao Yingyu looked down and felt happy in her heart, but it was more important to get down to business. She searched the other side again.
"Bang." Suddenly, the sound of a stone hitting stone could be heard.
Yu Longchen and Miao Yingyu heard the sound and walked to the place where the sound came from. Yuan Zhen had just gotten up from the ground and patted the dust off his butt. He looked up at Yu Longchen and asked, "How is it? Am I good?"
Yu Longchen rolled his eyes at him. Miao Yingyu smiled helplessly.
The secret switch was on the ground. It was just an inconspicuous small stone. It was probably Yuan Zhen who tripped over the stone and fell down to discover it.
Half of the secret passage was on the wall, and the other half was on the ground. From the secret passage on the wall, a fiery light appeared. It shone on the ground, pulling the three of them very long and imprinting them on the other side of the wall.
Yu Longchen squatted down and pulled the wall on top of him. He jumped into the secret passage without making any sound. After observing the secret passage for a while, he nodded at the two people outside.
Yuan Zhen jumped in first, but his landing posture was not very good, and he fell to the ground like a dog eating shit. Yu Longchen looked at him with ridicule. "Be careful!"
It could be considered as concern and blame. Yuan Zhen did not care at all. He endured the pain in his hip bone and got up. This time, he did not pat the dust on his clothes, but on his face.
Miao Yingyu also came down and gently kicked him. She scolded him with a smile, "Be careful!"
"Bang, bang, bang." The stone door of the secret passage slowly closed.
This was the enemy's place, every step had to be taken carefully.
The secret passage was warmer than the outside. Maybe it was because it was sealed, but the inside was lit up again. The bluestone bricks were laid on all four sides. Compared to the one in the Imperial Residence, this one was more luxurious. There were specially made lamps on both sides, and candles were placed there.
Yu Longchen suppressed his anger in his heart. He always wanted to kill someone to vent his anger.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at a wide area. There was a red secret door in front of them, and there were four or five people standing on both sides of it.
Yu Longchen stared at the red secret door for a while. He signaled the two to stand beside the secret door. Yu Longchen stood on one side, while Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu stood on the other side.
Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu were a little confused. They gave Yu Longchen a look. Yu Longchen only shook his head at them and pointed outside the door.
Alright, the two of them understood. Yu Longchen meant that there was an ambush outside the door. That was right. They had never heard of this organization before. Enemies in the dark were the most terrifying.
This organization could hibernate for so many years, so how could they be less vigilant?
The three of them had been in the dark for so long. They must have noticed that since they did not kill the three of them in the dark. Then it would be the exit of the secret passage. Needless to say, there should be someone holding a weapon outside waiting for Yu Longchen and the others to leave.
They looked outside the door.
There were twenty people standing outside the red secret passage. They were all dressed in ordinary cloth clothing. If it wasn't for them holding knives and swords, they would have thought that they were ordinary civilians.
At this moment, they had vicious expressions on their faces as they stared at the secret door. Even if a fly came in through the crack of the door, it would still be difficult for it to escape death.
The room was dark and there was no curtain, only a bare pillar.
There were only three things in the room - chairs, tables, and cabinets.
There were countless cabinets piled up in the huge space. They were of the same size, and when stacked together, they were as tall as a person.
Just like that, they were in a stalemate for an hour.
A few people who were waiting at the door were impatient. They asked a slightly older man standing behind them, "Hall Lord, are we being too careful? If there were really people, they would have come in a long time ago. Why is there no movement at all?"
"Yeah, there shouldn't be anyone here. This place is so hidden. Maybe it's a kitten or a puppy! "This was the man who had just met up with Xiangyi.
"Did anyone follow you when you came?" The man called Hall Lord looked like he was in his forties. On his ordinary face, there was a pair of sharp eyes under his thick eyebrows.
The man at the contact was very sure. "Absolutely not. If there was, how would I know?"
Hall Lord still had some doubts and did not respond. He looked at the wooden door as if he wanted to see through it with his eyes and see if there was anyone behind the door.
Yu Longchen and the other two heard their conversation clearly. Yuan Zhen was a little scared. Fortunately, he did not rush out recklessly. Otherwise, he would have many more skeleton eyes on him now!
Yuan Zhen pointed his mouth at Yu Longchen and pointed towards the door. Yu Longchen knew what he meant, but he still shook his head. It was not the time yet. He made a hand gesture to stop the sound.
The situation fell into a deadlock again. There wasn't even a place to hide. They could only fight a tough battle.
The three of them were ready, waiting for the person in the door.
Hall Lord did not give the order after a long time, neither did he say to retreat nor to charge. He just stood there without moving, thinking in his heart. It was good to be careful, but was the person really that smart? They were either not human, or there were only one or two of them. They did not dare to enter.
The first twenty people's gazes turned from fierce to irritated. They slowly raised their weapons and placed them beside their feet.
Hall Lord looked at their expressions and slowly walked up to them. The people who were ready to fight gave him a way out.
He stuck his ear to the crack of the door. Only the wind passed through the crack of the door and hit his ear. It was too quiet, which made Hall Lord feel dangerous.
"Squeak!" Because Hall Lord used too much strength, the two doors that were originally very close were pushed out with an unpleasant sound.
His eyes were bright. He looked at the long secret passage without blinking, as if he could see other things with his eyes.
When he turned around and touched the door, something flashed in his mind as he stared at the door that was leaning against the wall. His lips moved, but he did not utter a single word. His hands moved, and he pointed behind the open door, indicating to the person who was looking at him.
Those people were not too stupid. From their previous state, they became fierce and fierce. They slowly raised the weapons in their hands and moved step by step.
How could Yu Longchen not hear them? He was just worried about Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu.
