Chapter 406: Infiltrate into the city

When the soldiers of the Hayi tribe attacked Pingchang City, the city was destroyed.

If this secret passage could accommodate a large group of people passing by, it would not have caused so many people in the city to die.

After listening to Guan Hou’s introduction, Li Yu nodded.

As long as you have this secret passage, it is good to have many people pass by at the same time, there is no need to ask for too much.

Li Yu made a quick decision and said, "We will set off today and take a step forward to go to Pyeongchang County!"

Chu Ren asked: "How does Your Highness plan to rescue Princess Xing and King Zheng?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Adapt to the situation! There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. I believe that you can always come up with a solution!"

Now he asked Li Yu how to save people, but he couldn't answer.

At present, he doesn’t even know what is going on in Pyeongchang City!

A long story short.

On that day, Li Yu brought Jinwu, Lu Chi, Feiwei, Tiewei and others, galloped straight to Pyeongchang County.

Originally, Hua Mei'er wanted to go with her, but after some consideration, she finally gave up.

Her current identity is a courtesan who is powerless. Didn’t she deliberately drag her back on her side with Li Yu and the others to save people?

When Li Yu and his party entered the territory of Pyeongchang County, they all changed into casual clothes and turned into pieces.

The only ones who stayed by Li Yu were Jinwu, Lu Chi, Chu Ren, Yan Wen, Feng Tang and other Feiwei's Feiwei and the senior management of the Iron Guard.

Under Guan Hou's guidance, everyone came to the northwest of Pyeongchang City.

There is an abandoned village here, very close to Pyeongchang City, about five or six miles away.

Following Guanhou into the village, Li Yu looked around.

The only houses in the village are left with ruins, and the ground and walls are covered with weeds. It seems that the place has been abandoned for at least ten or twenty years.

Li Yu asked, "Guanhou, is the entrance to the secret passage here?"

“That’s right!”

Li Yu smiled and sighed: "Tianjidao really took a lot of scheming to dig this secret passage!"

Guan Hou owed his body and did not dare to say anything.

He led Li Yu and his group to a dilapidated adobe house at the east end of the village.

The house was in a dilapidated state, with one wall collapsed and the roof collapsed most of the time.

Guan Hou walked straight into the inner room and came to the kang.

There was a moldy straw mat on it, emitting an unpleasant and strange smell.

Guan Hou covered his nose and lifted the straw mat.

Below is an ordinary earthen kang.

He jumped up and groped back and forth on the earthen kang.

Soon, he touched a thin thread.

He pinched the thin thread and slowly pulled it outwards. Not long after, he pulled out a small iron pull ring from the gap between the soil blocks.

Then, he hooked the pull ring with his fingers and pulled it out with force.

With a click, the kang surface was lifted up with a square hole of one meter square.

Guan Hou waved his hand and stroked the dust floating in the air, coughed a few more times, took out the fire stick from his arms, blew it, and took a photo into the hole.

Li Yu and others all came forward and looked down at the entrance of the cave.

It was dark inside, and I couldn't see clearly.

Guanhou said: "Your Highness, go down and take a look first!"

"Be careful!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Guanhou jumped into the hole first.

His feet stepped on both sides of the hole wall and slid down little by little.

It fell about three meters deep and Guanhou reached the bottom of the cave.

He took the fire note and took a picture of it around, then raised his head and said, "Your Highness, you can come down!"

Before Li Yu could go down, Jinwu said first: "Your Highness, I will come first!"

As he spoke, Jinwu shook his body and jumped in.

Lu Chi followed closely behind and jumped in.

Next are Chu Ren, Yan Wen, Feng Tang, Mu Fei, and Chu Zun.

After confirming that it was indeed safe inside, they let Li Yu come down.

As soon as I came in, there was a lot of space in the tunnel, and there was even a small square room that could accommodate several people.

But if you walk through the small square room and walk forward, you can't say that you are walking, but climbing.

The secret passage is only half a person high and less than half a meter wide. The space is so small that it can only accommodate one person crawling inside.

Guan Hou climbed in the front, supporting the ground with one hand and holding the fire stick in the other, and illuminating forward from time to time.

It is five or six miles away from Pyeongchang City. You can imagine how it feels like to crawl so far.

Li Yu and others only crawled for more than half an hour and were so tired that they were covered in sweat.

Jinwu couldn't help but ask, "Cunhou, how far is it?"

"Eunuch Jin, we have only walked one mile at most now!"

In this way, there are still four or five miles left!

Li Yu asked: "Where is the other end of the secret passage?"

"Your Highness, it's a dry well! Located in the south of the city."

Li Yu said oh first, and then asked a very practical question: "Since it is a dry well, when the Pyeongchang City was rebuilt, the wellhead was not buried to death, right?"

“…”

Guan Hou hasn't checked it yet.

Originally, he thought that this secret passage might never be used, so he naturally didn't care much about it.

He swallowed and whispered, "Little man...Little man doesn't know!"

Jinwu was so happy that he said ruthlessly: "Hao Guan, if you dare to let Your Highness go this time in vain, be careful of your head!"

Guan Hou was so scared that his body shivered. Just as he was about to speak, Li Yu said in a deep voice in dissatisfaction: "Golden Crow!"

Jinwu shrank his neck and said with apologies: "Your Highness, I am just scaring him!"

Li Yu gave Jinwu a blank look and said, "Stop it!"

Everyone continued to climb forward along this narrow secret passage.

Li Yu and others spent a lot of effort to finally climb to the end of the secret passage.

When people looked up, they saw that the wellhead above was dark and there was no light at all.

Jinwu held up the fire slash, looked up for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "Whyokou isn't really blocked, right?"

Lu Chi said in a deep voice: "I'll go up and take a look!"

He stepped on the well wall with his feet and rushed to the wellhead quickly.

He raised his hands and touched them upwards. It was possible to touch them. What blocked the wellhead was a stone.

He pushed hard, but the stone was still moving.

Lu Chi took a deep breath and used 70% of his strength to push the stone again.

Click! Click! Click!

The stone was loose and a series of sounds were heard.

Lu Chi's eyes lit up, he immediately stopped, jumped back from the wellhead, and said to Li Yu: "Your Highness, the wellhead has not been completely sealed, it's just a stone!"

Li Yu nodded with his eyes shining and asked, "What time is it now?"

Jinwu calculated the time and said, "Your Highness, it's almost time for Shen."

When it comes to Shen, it is three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yu said: "Let's rest for two hours, and we'll go out until dark!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Everyone sat on the ground at the bottom of the dry well.

Jinwu also took out a few pieces of dessert from the tip and handed it to Li Yu.

While eating snacks, Li Yu pondered about the next action.

He said: "Let's go to explore the Wu Palace first. It's best to catch a few 'tongues' near the Palace and ask clearly what's going on in the Palace!"

Everyone nodded and responded.
Chapter completed!
