Chapter 336: Mysterious Ancestral Hall
"Xiaosha, you and Xiaoli are waiting for us here." Zi Yang said to Qinhan Village in the distance.
"Why don't you take us? I'm going too!" Xiaoli held Lao Wang's arm and refused to let go, fearing that he would never come back.
On the way back to Qinhan Village, Lao Wang added fuel to the fire of his experience of "drowning" in the water, emphasizing how righteous he was and how he looked at death when the oxygen was used up... After a splashy description, Lao Wang successfully established a glorious and majestic heroic image in the eyes of everyone.
"Really? Is that true?" Xiaoli asked Zi Yang and Su Rui with her big eyes open.
Zi Yang and Su Rui had no choice but to nod helplessly.
Don’t say, girls really take this trick. When Xiaoli looked at Lao Wang again, her eyes had turned into stars.
Now I heard that Lao Wang was going to "sacrifice his life and die" again, Xiaoli said that she would go to the world together with her.
Zi Yang shook his head. This simple little girl really doesn't know how the word "death" is written.
"Comrade Xiaoli, you have important tasks here, too." Zi Yang comforted him with kind words: "You have to help us guard Sharma."
"Ah? I? I have surrendered. I am the same as you!" Sharma said in panic.
"This is also for your own good. Now Wang Yangming and the others think you are dead. If you appear in Qinhan Village at this time and are seen by Gurkha mercenaries, your family will be in danger." Su Rui comforted her kindly.
Sharma suddenly realized: "Yes, yes! Then I will stay here and not leave."
"In order to prevent you from betraying you again, we have to let you down." Zi Yang took out a rope and gave Brother Xiaosha a look.
Brother Xiaosha understood it and knocked Sharma down to the ground and tied it up.
Perhaps because he was too heavy to start, Sharma kept begging for mercy: "Hey, brother, be gentle, we are from the same group..."
Brother Xiaosha didn't dare to be careless. He still remembered how much hardship he suffered when he was captured in the woods. At that time, Sharma did not treat him lightly.
"Hey, don't say that Brother Xiaosha's hand binding technique is quite exciting. Don't you think Lao Xia is so sexy when tied up?" Lao Wang said grinning from the side.
Brother Xiaosha blushed: "You guys... be careful."
After getting rid of three "troubles", Zi Yang and the others quietly touched Qinhan Village. When they arrived outside the village, Wang Juan suddenly stopped. Everyone knew that she had sensed the Gurkha mercenaries.
Wang Juan pointed to a house on the top of the hillside and said, "There are a few people gathered in that room, but they are too far away and the terrain is relatively complicated. I can't see how many people there are, so I have to get closer."
Jin Guoqiang looked at the people around him, and there was no need to mention Xiao Hei's skills. In addition to himself, Zi Yang and Lao Wang, the four of them were the main forces of the attack, and Su Rui could take care of Wang Juan. In terms of weapons, in addition to a few dog-legged scimitars, they also had pistols seized from the Gurkha mercenaries. The three pieces that Zi Yang and the others brought underwater were already discarded during the escape, and now there are three left.
Jin Guoqiang assigned a pistol to Zi Yang and Lao Wang, and everyone lowered their bodies and slowly moved forward. Seeing the outline of the building becoming clearer and clearer, Zi Yang suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. Isn’t this the house of the village chief Qin Xianghe?
When we arrived at a few dozen meters away from the house, the team stopped.
"There are two people inside." Wang Juan said.
"No, I clearly saw thirteen people entering the village before, why are there only two left? What about the others?" Jin Guoqiang said with a frown.
Wang Juan closed her eyes and meditated carefully and said, "Yes, there are only two people - at least there are no one else within a few hundred meters around."
Jin Guoqiang nodded: "Others may have gone out to investigate, let's solve these two first."
When I came to Qinhan Village to investigate the mysterious incident last year, Jin Guoqiang inspected all the buildings in the village and went to the village chief's house to be a "customer". He was familiar with the structure of Qin Xianghe's house. As a special forces captain with extremely high tactical qualities, it was not difficult to recall the scene at that time. He immediately drew a simple sketch on the ground and began to make strategic deployment:
"This house is much taller than other buildings in the village. It has an independent yard and two-story house. There are three rooms on the ground floor. According to Wang Juan's description, the two mercenaries stood diagonally in the house on the far left."
Jin Guoqiang used two stones to represent the two mercenaries on the ground, and then said to Zi Yang: "These two sides are exactly where the windows are. I am the same as Lao Wang, Zi Yang and Xiao Hei. Let's encircle them from the left and right respectively to wait for the mechanism to support these two people. At present, I don't know where the other mercenaries are, so you should pay attention to concealment when you have to do it. Don't shoot until you have to. We must keep the action consistent. In order to facilitate communication, I will teach you a few simple sets of tactical gestures first."
Jin Guoqiang reached out and made several sets of gestures, explained while talking, and then asked Zi Yang: "Did you remember it clearly?"
Zi Yang nodded.
"Okay, go!"
The two groups of people quietly surrounded the two groups by covering the dense grass and trees in the village.
Zi Yang and Xiao Hei quietly touched the house, looked out from the window and looked into the house. Wang Juan's sense was very accurate. A mercenary was standing opposite, with his face facing the door.
If that's right, another mercenary should have stood next to their window.
Jin Guoqiang's head also poked out from behind the window opposite, and stretched out his two fingers to compete with Zi Yang.
Zi Yang was panicked, what does it mean? I haven’t taught this gesture!
Jin Guoqiang compared a few more gestures. Zi Yang was completely confused and said that one gesture represents another meaning. What does it mean to use a set of combination punches?
While hesitating, Xiao Hei had already opened the window and turned over and jumped in. Zi Yang was shocked and hurriedly raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the opposite side.
The Gurkha mercenary suddenly jumped in when he saw a black shadow. He was about to pull the trigger. A pair of big hands suddenly stretched out from behind, and he pushed his neck and twisted it. With a "click", the mercenary fell softly to the ground. He didn't understand where the hands were stretched out until he died.
Jin Guoqiang broke the neck of the Gurkha mercenary, owed to his body and jumped into the room, holding a gun to search for other rooms.
Zi Yang climbed into the room and saw that Xiao Hei had already dealt with the Gurkha mercenary next to him - the man was knocked out before he could touch the gun with both hands.
At this time, Lao Wang slammed the door open, held the gun in both hands and shouted: "Don't move, raise your hands."
Several people in the room stared at him like a psychopath.
"I'm late? The battle is over?" Lao Wang asked blankly.
"Go and bring Wang Juan and the others here, it's safe here." Jin Guoqiang ordered the old Wang to remove the submachine gun from the Gurkha mercenary and carry it on him.
Zi Yang tied the knocked mercenary behind him with both hands, found a roll of tape from his backpack, and walked around his mouth several times.
"Come here to take a look." Jin Guoqiang said to Zi Yang.
Zi Yang and Jin Guoqiang entered another room and saw a big hole on the ground, with a table falling next to it. Zi Yang felt nervous and hurriedly pointed the gun at the entrance of the hole.
After a while, Su Rui and Wang Juan also walked in and were also surprised to see the hole in the house.
The diameter of this hole is less than one meter, and there are a circle of blue bricks built on the edge. Judging from the smoothness of the edges of the blue bricks, people should often climb in and out.
"This hole is hidden under this cabinet, we haven't noticed it before." Jin Guoqiang said, looking at the bulky wooden cabinet next to him.
When the village chief Qin Xianghe found such a secret cave entrance, Zi Yang understood what was going on with a slight use of his mind.
"This should be the secret exit of the underground palace."
Jin Guoqiang looked at Wang Juan and said, "Can you sense anything?"
Wang Juan shook her head.
Su Rui took off the tactical flashlight from the mercenary and shone it into the hole. Several pits were dug on both sides of the hole wall. It seemed that they were the place where people climbed up and down. A few meters below was the bottom of the hole, and there seemed to be a passage next to it.
Jin Guoqiang took a deep breath, "I'll go down and reconnaissance!"
Jin Guoqiang hung the submachine gun on his chest and stepped on the pit on the hole wall and carefully drilled down. After reaching the bottom of the hole, he bent his waist into the passage next to him. After a while, he leaned out and shouted: "Zi Yang, take Wang Juan down."
Zi Yang handed the submachine gun to Lao Wang, "Look at the fainting mercenary, I'll hand it over to you."
Zi Yang and Wang Juan climbed down from the vertical pit one after another. Sure enough, there was a passage more than one meter high next to the bottom of the pit. After bent down and walked in for a few meters, a round stone chamber appeared in front of him. There was another hole in the middle of the stone chamber, and a huge stone plate was placed next to it.
On one side of the stone room, there was a huge altar, which was densely filled with wooden tablets, and there were several rows of characters engraved in small seals. There were thick candles on each side of the altar. Jin Guoqiang lit the candles, and the stone room became brighter.
Su Rui also climbed down from above. After seeing the scene inside, he looked at Zi Yang. The two of them knew that the tablets on the altar should be the descendants of the Qin army throughout the ages, and this place must be where Qin Xianghe paid homage to his ancestors.
The entrance of the cave in the center of the stone chamber should be the secret passage leading to the underground palace. The extremely thick stone plate should be the sealing stone pressed on the entrance of the cave. Now the sealing stone has been opened. Looking down from the entrance of the cave, it is dark and bottomless.
Wang Juan leaned over and looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, shook her head and said, "I can't feel anything."
"No one is underground?"
"No, the hole is too deep, beyond my sensing range."
Everyone looked at each other. Wang Juan's sensing distance exceeded one hundred meters. If even she could not sense it, how deep would the hole be?
Su Rui calculated silently and said, "Qin Xianghe's house is at the highest point of the village. The vertical distance from the pool at the foot of the mountain is more than 300 meters. If the water level of the pool is level with the underground palace, it means that the depth of the cave is also about 300 meters."
"Didn't Qin Xianghe have already blown up the tunnel? Then the hole should be blocked, right?" Zi Yang asked at Su Rui.
Su Rui shook his head, "The tunnel has been opened. I don't know how they did it, but there is indeed air flowing at the entrance of the hole. You can feel it carefully."
Zi Yang carefully poked his head above the hole. Apart from the wet and cold air, there was no feeling of a breeze blowing on his face.
But he believed in Su Rui's judgment. The tunnel that was blown up by Qin Xianghe was opened again!
Jin Guoqiang nodded, "Wang Yangming's subordinates are all professional soldiers, and there may be blasting experts. They should have used directional blasting to clear the secret passage again. The dull sound we heard just now should be the sound of the underground explosion coming from the entrance of the cave."
Zi Yang's face turned stern: "So, Wang Yangming has brought people into the underground palace?"
Chapter completed!
