Chapter 552: Turtle in a Jar
Xie Siyu stepped on the ground, and the whole person flew down from the roof. He kicked his feet on the big locust tree in the yard, turned three and a half times in the air, and landed steadily!
"Good, so cool!"
Ning Chen clapped vigorously.
Jiang Zhengyang looked at Xie Siyu, and he didn't understand... Can't you just jump down from the roof? Aren't you afraid of spraining your ankle by doing so many tricks?
Just then, the snow on the tree fell down.
Xie Siyu shivered, and the snow fell into his neck.
When he used too much force on the tree just now, he shook the snow on the tree down.
Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "Ahem... Senior Brother Xie, where is the entrance?"
Xie Siyu turned and stepped forward, kicking over the stone table two meters to the left.
The base of the stone table is almost the same size as the tabletop. The stone table fell over, revealing a hole.
Ning Chen and his friends stepped forward and threw a torch in.
It's not deep below, only about three meters.
Jiang Zhengyang said, "Someone, go down and check!"
Ning Chen waved his hand, "No need, we are trapped in a jar, we can't escape, just wait... The place below is small, and the other party has crossbows, so it's not easy to deal with."
"Brother Xie, are you sure there is only one exit in this secret passage?"
Xie Siyu nodded.
In the secret passage, Qiu Qiyi and seven or eight people hurriedly walked.
"Hurry up, we'll be out soon!"
At the other end of the secret passage, in a small farmyard, he left a few people to support.
What he didn't know was that the people he left to support were all killed by Xie Siyu.
Xie Siyu personally went through this secret passage.
Qiu Qiyi and his men had already reached the exit on the other side.
A man struggled to move the stone slab of the exit, and as soon as he stuck his head out, two knives were placed on his neck.
"Don't move, come out!"
"I am Mu Anbang, the garrison commander of Lingzhou. Those inside, come out and surrender quickly, otherwise you will be served with tung oil!"
Mu Anbang shouted.
Qiu Qiyi's face changed suddenly.
This is impossible... This Yuntian Tower was originally their property, used to cover the secret agents of Emperor Yuan. It's not surprising that he knew about this secret passage, but how did Mu Anbang know it?
"Listen, everyone below. This general will give you ten breaths. If you don't come out, don't blame this general for using fire attack."
Mu Anbang shouted loudly.
"Prince, what should we do?"
Qiu Qiyi's men asked in panic.
"Why are you panicking? I'll talk to him..." Qiu Qiyi shouted at the exit: "General Mu, I'm the King of Yuan..."
"Wait a minute? What do you say you are?"
Qiu Qiyi's face darkened, "I'm Qiu Qiyi, the King of Yuan."
Mu Anbang sneered, "Who are you? Are you worthy of being called the King of Yuan?"
"Bold traitor, why don't you come out and surrender... Otherwise, don't blame me for turning you into roasted pigs."
Qiu Qiyi was furious, but he suppressed his anger and said: "General Mu, as long as you are willing to let me live, I will definitely offer you ten thousand taels of gold."
"If you are willing to go back to Yuan with me, I can guarantee that you will be made a marquis and a prime minister, and you will be rich and prosperous."
Mu Anbang sneered disdainfully.
"Qiu Qiyi, I'll ask you again, do you surrender or not?"
"General Mu, think about it again..."
"I'll think about your uncle... Come on, do it!"
Soon, bundles of hay and firewood were thrown down from the cave entrance.
Mu Anbang ordered, "Pour tung oil... light a fire!"
Tung oil was poured on dry grass and firewood, and a soldier threw down a torch, and a raging fire instantly ignited.
The terrible temperature rushed towards him, forcing Qiu Qiyi to retreat again and again.
The most terrible thing was the thick smoke.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Qiu Qiyi and others covered their noses and ran back the same way.
When the fire was almost over, Mu Anbang ordered, "Water!"
The flames were suppressed, leaving only billowing smoke.
Mu Anbang ordered to seal the exit with a large stone slab.
Now the whole secret passage has become a smoke tunnel.
Qiu Qiyi and others ran in front, and billowing black smoke chased behind.
On the Yuntian Tower side, Ning Chen and others guarded the entrance.
Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen came over with blood on their faces.
"Are you all right?"
The two shook their heads to indicate that they were fine.
Pan Yucheng said, "All the rebels have been captured!"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Lord Jiang, when you submit the memorial, you must give us a great credit."
Jiang Zhengyang nodded, "Don't worry, I will indicate your contributions one by one in the memorial."
"Ask His Majesty not to reward us too much, just a few tens of thousands of taels of gold."
Jiang Zhengyang's mouth twitched, do you think I look like tens of thousands of taels of gold?
But this time, so many rebels were captured, which is definitely a great credit.
Feng Qizhen stood at the entrance and looked around, "Ning Chen, how about I go in and catch them?"
"Don't take risks...Stay away, be careful of arrows flying out from inside and shoot you into a hedgehog."
Feng Qizhen was suddenly surprised and said, "Hey, why is there smoke? Are they making a fire and cooking inside?"
Ning Chen stepped forward, and there was indeed black smoke floating out of the cave.
He thought for a while and smiled, "It should be that they don't want to go out and surrender, General Mu chose a fire attack...Everyone get ready, these rats are coming out soon."
Jiang Zhengyang waved his hand, and the yamen runners drew their swords and waited for battle!
Xie Siyu listened carefully, "There's a cough!"
Ning Chen shouted towards the entrance: "Qiu Qiyi, come out... If I light another fire here, you'll really be roasted like a pig."
"Don't do it, let's get out... cough cough cough...!"
There were coughs one after another in the secret passage.
It seems that I was holding it back before, but now I can't hold it in any longer.
"Ning Chen, we're out, don't do anything, don't do anything, we have something to discuss...!"
Qiu Qiyi and others crawled out in embarrassment, all with gray heads and dark faces.
Jiang Zhengyang waved his hand, "Take it!"
"Wait!" Qiu Qiyi stood up, straightened his clothes, stared at Ning Chen and said, "How did you know about this secret passage?"
Ning Chen pointed at Xie Siyu, "Let me introduce, this is the person who is loved by everyone, a flower blooms, looks and wisdom coexist, and the embodiment of strength and chivalry. Xie Siyu, the senior brother of the Ghost Shadow Sect, is proficient in the Qi Sect's mechanisms. Your little secret can't be hidden from his eyes."
Qiu Qiyi looked at Xie Siyu.
Xie Siyu straightened his back, held the sword with both hands, and looked away, completely ignoring Qiu Qiyi.
The corner of Qiu Qiyi's mouth twitched!
His eyes fell on Ning Chen and he said word by word: "I don't accept it... I didn't lose to you, but to the strange people around you."
"Ning Chen, do you dare to fight me with a real sword and a real gun... If I lose, I will be captured. If I win, you let me go."
Ning Chen looked at him and burst into laughter.
"You are already a turtle in a urn, why should I risk my life with you?"
"Master Jiang, lock him up...if he dares to resist, shoot him to death with random arrows!"
Qiu Qiyi yelled: "Ning Chen, you coward, you are a coward."
"What the hell are you talking about? Ning Chen can crush you to death with one finger... If he doesn't fight you, he doesn't look down on you at all."
Feng Qizheng said disdainfully.
Qiu Qiyi sneered, "You are a cowardly gangster who only dares to rely on the numbers of people... Ning Chen, your reputation is not worthy of the name!"
Feng Qizheng was furious: "Give him a knife, and I'll fight him... If I don't beat this guy to a pulp today, my surname will not be Feng."
