Chapter 6 Exploring the dungeon again

10days ago Historical fiction 9
In the evening, a shower fell, soaking the dry soil. The fragrance of soil and grass drifted in the air. This rain swept away the sultry heat, making people feel refreshed.

But Mu Guiying felt more and more dull, the Grand Tutor Pang Ji's power was the sky. Not only the court and harem, but also the people also put a lot of eyeliners, and they were actually doing evil under her nose.

Mu Guiying felt a little strange. During the morning court today, she argued with Grand Master Pang about Pangjiazhuang. Grand Master did not insist much, nor did he see Concubine Pang intervene. He just asked for ten days to move out of the manor.

Is it almost the day when the Taishi rebelled?

Madam, the young man has gone to find out that Pangjiazhuang is not going to move out today, everything in the village is as usual! Send out to inquire about Pangjiazhuang's family and report back

I understand, you go back and rest! Mu Guiying waved her hand and said

The night is getting deeper and deeper, there is no moon tonight, and the sky is covered with dark clouds, as if there is a bigger rainstorm brewing

Mu Guiying didn't sleep all night last night, but she felt heavy eyelids and was drowsy

But the rebellion of the Grand Tutor really made her feel uneasy

The war disaster in the northwest has resurfaced, and the famous general Di Qing has led the most elite imperial guards in the capital to set off for Huanqing.

Today's Bianliang is no different from the empty city

Pang Ji's younger brother, Donghai Gong Pang Qi, has led his troops to the Central Plains to assist the Taishi in clearing out the Hujia rebels.

The Taishi held the Beijing soldiers in his hand. If he wanted to rebel, it would be easy to rebel.

no!

Mu Guiying slapped the table and said to herself that the evidence of the crime must be found before the rebellion of the Grand Tutor, and the emperor must report it to the emperor to prepare early!

Having made up my mind, I changed into Ye Xing's clothes again, with a flying knife hidden in my sleeves, a short arrow used as a hidden weapon, and a steel knife inserted on my back, and I was going to visit the second-study dungeon.

Just now I opened the door and saw my son Yang Wenguang walking towards me

Mother... Yang Wenguang was stunned for a long time when he saw Mu Guiying, and then noticed the night clothes on his mother and said, "It's so late, what should my mother do in this outfit?"

Mu Guiying frowned and asked back: What are you doing like this?

Yang Wenguang stammered: Last night, my grandmother took my child to the Jinshui River to watch the river lanterns. The child felt very beautiful, so today I asked the Gao family's children to watch the lanterns by the river.

Mu Guiying said: There may be variables in the city recently, so it is better to go out less at night!

Yang Wenguang nodded and said: Mother’s teachings, children should remember that it is just that mothers will leave the house tonight?

Mu Guiying said: You must not mention this matter to Taijun and your wives, so as not to worry them.

Yang Wenguang knew that Mu Guiying was going to take the risk, so he said: Since the mother told me, how dare I refuse to obey? But when the child saw that his mother was in a bad mood today, why don’t he rest tonight and go again tomorrow night!

Mu Guiying shook her head: No, this matter is imminent, it is important to the world, and I have to go for my mother!

Yang Wenguang said: Since this is the case, let the child go with his mother, so he can also help!

Mu Guiying said: This is a dangerous trip. You have not yet improved your martial arts skills. You should rest at home. If you don’t go back tonight, you will be able to lie tomorrow morning. Daowei’s mother went to the riverside dam early in the morning!

Considering that the passage from Pangjiazhuang to the old city at Bianliang City was narrow and long, it took a long time to go.

I haven't entered the city to inquire last night, and it's been four times

If I could enter the city this time, I would never be able to come back before dawn. At that time, the whole mansion would definitely worry about her, so I would let Wen Guang lie to Taijun and hide it.

Yang Wenguang said: The child remembers his mother and should be careful!

Mu Guiying said goodbye to her son, sneaked out of the mansion, and still bypassed the prosperous place at night and arrived at the North Gate.

Seeing the northern gate of Bianliang again at this time, Mu Guiying couldn't help but feel a little moved

If you want to dig out all the city foundations, you may be dozens of feet tall.

After thinking about it carefully, Mu Guiying took the flying tiger claws, jumped to the top of the city, then went down the city, crossed the city wall, and went to the post station outside the city to find horses, and galloped along the official road to Pangjiazhuang.

When Mu Guiying left the dungeon in the morning, she covered the pit with branches and leaves, and made a mark next to her. Although it was night, it was easy to find the mark.

Mu Guiying hid the horse, pulled apart the branches and leaves, jumped into the pit again

Under the pit, there is still the almost dilapidated house

Mu Guiying didn't dare to be careless and leaned at the door. When she heard nothing outside, she opened the door and went out and entered the passage.

The passage is divided into two sides, and on the ground of Bianliang, and on the other hand, Mu Guiying went to Pangjiazhuang Cellar again to inquire about Pangjiazhuang, and rushed straight to the passage on the left.

The corridor is narrow and long, as if aimless

But tonight, Mu Guiying did not alarm the people on the ground, so there was almost no one in the passage.

This made her feel willing to stop and observe both sides

The left and right walls of the corridor were not covered with black soil. Every few steps, a few huge rocks were seen sneaking into it, standing tall. I thought it was because I was afraid that the soil would be soft, and the passing pedestrians and horses would stomp the official road on the ground.

In addition to the huge rocks, there are many storefronts on both sides, some like shops, some like houses, just like the house where Mu Guiying fell.

Mu Guiying inspected several roadside houses and found that it was not accidental that she fell from the pit last night.

From these rooms, you can reach the ground directly. Some have ladders and some have stairs simply clothed, but more have nothing, and you need to use a rope to get up and down.

Mu Guiying discovered that those houses with ladders and steps were also a big pit, and outside the pit was an inn or beacon.

It must be that the Grand Tutor had already planned to make the soldiers suddenly fall from the sky. Before the garrison in the capital could react, he quickly cut off the contact between Bianliang and the outside world so that he could carry out military transformation in the imperial city.

It is indeed suspected of being rebellious, and this alone can confirm the crime of rebellion of the Grand Tutor! Mu Guiying said secretly

After walking along the way, I finally arrived at the city of Bianzhou, former Tang Dynasty

Last time, Mu Guiying stopped here, just watched the movements in the city from afar outside the city

This time she must go into the city to find out what happened

The corridor has become much wider and much taller, three or four feet tall

The scene in the city is amazing

Houses and shops are lined up one after another, arranged in an orderly manner, just like the ground

But there is no sky here, it is full of black mud layers

The upper half of the building with a floor above three floors is completely buried in the soil

In the middle of the house, there are several huge pillars from time to time, which are above and above, and they are above the sky, and above the ground, supporting the capital city above the head.

It is said that there is no light here, but it is still prosperous. Pedestrians walk by the streets from time to time, and even carriages shuttle through them.

Even so, it still gives people a dull feeling, making people breathless

There are still a few soldiers patrolling back and forth in front of the city gate

Mu Guiying was invisible behind the huge rock in front of the city and looked at it carefully.

Although it has been much wider, there are no other entrances

If you want to enter the city, a dilapidated doorway is the only option

Mu Guiying covered her veil on her face and counted several soldiers in front of the city, with five of them. Suddenly, she raised her hand and flew out three short arrows. The three soldiers who were patrolling the veil were dead inexplicably before she could react.

Who! The remaining two soldiers shouted in surprise when they fell to the ground

Mu Guiying had no time to answer with them, appeared behind the huge rock, raised his sword and killed the two soldiers.

She dragged the five bodies one by one to the huge rock and hid them. Without thinking, she stuck them into the city.

As the saying goes, a skilled man is brave. Mu Guiying wanted to take off the clothes of the corpses, disguise himself as soldiers and then mix into the city.

But she is a woman after all, and it is indeed inappropriate to strip men's clothes

Fortunately, there is no light in the city. Although there are a few brightly lit places, most of the places are still pitch black.

Mu Guiying took advantage of the shadow of the houses on both sides of the street and quickly rushed into the city.

Although she has stepped down as the Grand Marshal of the Army, she has been in the army for a long time and is familiar with the military rules. The patrol posts will take turns every other hour

When the next group of sentries go to hand over, they will definitely easily find the five bodies, and sooner or later her whereabouts will be revealed.

Therefore, she must find more favorable evidence as soon as possible before the enemy discovers her

Entering the city is a straight road, just like the Bianliang Imperial Street above your head. It is simply a copy of Bianliang City. It should be said that Bianliang City copied the former Tang Dynasty city underground.

Mu Guiying was walking forward while checking the houses on both sides of the street

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you're shocked when you see it

This is not a residential house?

It's clearly a military camp

But I saw the bed, full of soldiers and armor, and the local area was filled with soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the city of Bianzhou is full of elite troops!

Based on the size of Bianliang City on the ground, Mu Guiying roughly estimated that if these houses and shops were filled with soldiers, there would be a total of 300,000.

If so many rebels suddenly appeared in Bianliang City, the person sitting on the dragon throne would definitely be captured.

Fortunately, it is already late at night, and most of the soldiers in the house are already asleep

Otherwise, Mu Guiying would have nowhere to hide

She didn't dare to stay for a long time and ran straight towards the inner side of the imperial city

But to her surprise, the Great Inner Palace on the ground was not copied underground

Yes, Bianzhou in the former Tang Dynasty was not a capital! Mu Guiying said to himself that the capital of the former Tang Dynasty was in Chang'an, so naturally there would be no palace in Bianzhou.

Then go find the location of Bianzhou Prefecture! Lord Bao’s Kaifeng Prefecture is located in the southwest of Bianliang City. I think Mu Guiying has gone through the journey, so he turned around and returned.

Suddenly, Mu Guiying saw several stone tower-like buildings, arranged in four directions: southeast, west and north, but it was impossible to predict how high the stone tower was, because the top of the tower was completely submerged into the mud layer above his head.

Strangely, these stone towers don’t look like old things? Mu Guiying Road indeed, these stone towers seem to have just been built.

Seeing that the door of the stone tower was not locked, Mu Guiying pushed the door open and went in.

In the darkness, a sharp sword wind rushed towards Mu Guiying had no time to think about it, and hurriedly pulled out the steel knife and met it. He heard a scream, and a person thrust and fell to the ground with a knife.

Mu Guiying hurriedly took out the fire note and brightened it. He saw a man who looked like a soldier lying on the ground. He must be the one who guarded the tower.

She hurriedly hid the body and looked at the stone tower

But there were no decorations inside the stone tower, only two wide wooden ladders leading to the upper floor

Mu Guiying was curious and climbed the wooden ladder in a few steps, but saw that the second floor was empty and there were still two wooden ladders that went straight to the upper floor.

Mu Guiying climbed several floors in a row, all of them were like this

At this time, she was already in the mud layer, climbing only in the hollow tower body, the tower was filled with the fishy smell of soil.

Suddenly, Mu Guiying seemed to have encountered something hard on her head, so she hurriedly used a fire note to take a photo.

I saw that there was a flat stone slab on the top of the tower

Mu Guiying pushed the stone slab with her hand, but she pushed it easily

Uncovering the stone slab, a fresh air hits the face

It turns out that this tower is a direct access to the ground

Mu Guiying turned over to the ground, and saw that the scene in front of her was very familiar.

Ah! This is actually Tianbo Mansion! Mu Guiying was surprised that based on the direction of the four towers, she inferred that it was the four exterior walls of Tianbo Mansion

It turns out that the old thief was prepared to catch Tianbo Mansion in one go!

The Hu family has been mourned. Now in Bianliang City, only the Yang family is Pang Ji's big trouble.

To launch a mutiny and usurp the throne, the first thing to do is to control the Yang family

If you don’t come into the city today, how can you know that the disaster in Tianbo Mansion is coming!

The more Mu Guiying thought about it, the more scared she became, and hurriedly turned back and went down the tower.

To confront Pang Ji, both the Yang family and the Song Dynasty have lost their chances.

To capture the thief, she must find the place where the former Tang Dynasty's Bianzhou Prefecture is, that is, the mansion Pang Ji was underground, so that she can win by surprise.

When Mu Guiying arrived at the place where Kaifeng Prefecture was located on the ground, he did find the former Bianzhou Prefecture, but it had become a ruin.

Where exactly will Pang Ji be? Mu Guiying thought, by the way, underground in Pang Mansion!

Since the prefecture of Bianzhou in the former Tang Dynasty was not rebuilt, it was the only place under the Pang Mansion in Bianliang City that was Pang Ji's hiding place. Mu Guiying turned around and went to Pang Mansion.

Pang Mansion is adjacent to Tianbo Mansion, which is not far from the four towers just now.

Mu Guiying returned along the same route and found Pang Mansion

Sure enough, on the edge of the four towers, there was a huge wall, all made of black stone, like a castle

It was just that the whole body was pitch black and integrated with the darkness underground. Mu Guiying didn't pay attention just now

Mu Guiying walked around the wall and finally found the main gate and saw dozens of guards guarding him in front of the gate.

If not, if you rush in, you will definitely alarm the people in the mansion and the alarm bell rings, and the soldiers in the city will be awakened!

No matter how capable Mu Guiying is, she cannot confront the soldiers in a city.

Besides, she wants to capture Pang Thief and cannot alert the snake. If it is not done well, it will force the old thief to change in advance.

Mu Guiying touched the wall and turned back to the grand Pang Mansion. There must be a back door, not to mention Pang Ji's cunning temperament, and he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he would keep the back door and run away.

After touching it, I saw a black painted door. The iron general on the door grabbed Guan Mu Guiying without saying a word, took out the steel knife, cut off the iron lock with one knife, and pushed the door in.

The Pang Mansion underground is more magnificent than the ground

Not only did the pavilions and towers, but also led to groundwater and built a large lake

Along the lake, there are attics

A rainbow bridge crosses the lake, connecting the palace-like mansion opposite this

Mu Guiying was surprised to see that Pang Ji had become an underground emperor. She hurriedly followed the path in the middle of the lake and quickly walked to the mansion to the mansion. There was no soldiers guarding it, but the gate was closed.

Mu Guiying inserted the steel knife into the crack of the door, cut off the wooden bolt behind the door, and pushed the door into it, probably the forbidden area of ​​the dungeon. Except for the Taishi and several important generals, no one else was allowed to enter.

Mu Guiying looked around and saw that the surrounding wings were pitch black, as if no one lived there. There was only one room. With the light on, she raised her legs high, walked lightly, and walked to the front of the house, but heard the sound of conversation inside.

Mu Guiying wet the window paper with saliva, dug a small hole, and looked inside

There was a huge table in the room. The Grand Master Pang Ji sat in the middle, standing on both sides of the Yulin Army Generals, including Li Feixiong, Zhou Guoyong, Ruan Tai.

There is a man dressed in a military general, sitting opposite the Taishi, facing the gate, unable to see his appearance clearly

I only heard from the Grand Master: Now that everything is ready, I have 300,000 heavy troops in my hand, I will definitely attack you. This emperor's dragon throne is sure to win!

The military general who was facing the gate in the north said: This matter needs to be cautious. The 150,000 troops in the East China Sea have already reached the north bank of the Yellow River, but they were blocked by the Hu family army. It is better to wait until the army arrives and launch another attack!

The Taishi said: You don’t know that the Yellow River flood season is coming. This year, the person who specializes in the Yellow River is Huntian Hou Mu Guiying. This person wants to open a new river channel and pass through my manor outside the city. He has been recognized by the emperor. I will move out of the manor within ten days. Once the river is opened, the matter of this underground old city has been exposed to the world that people may not be able to wait for the troops in the East China Sea to cooperate inside and outside. We should start a quick start so that there will be more dreams in the night.

The general sneered and said: What are you afraid of just a woman? I will send a killer to assassinate him in the mansion tomorrow!

The Grand Master said: Don’t be careful, this woman is a very skilled martial arts master. The famous general of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Tianzuo, the national teacher Yan Rong and others are all lost under his sword. If you want to assassinate, it is afraid it will not be so easy.

Suddenly, Ruan Tai waved his hands to the two of them, signaling them to silence.

The Grand Master said: What's going on?

Ruan Tai frowned, sniffed his nose hard and said: Someone!

Mu Guiying was shocked. She had seen Ruan Tai's agility in her nose. She hurriedly flashed her body and hid next to her.

The Grand Master smiled and said: General Ruan, don’t be too shocked. There are so many people in this room, I think you sniffed the wrong one.

Ruan Tai shook his head and said: It is definitely not just a woman's aura. This smell seemed to have smelled the scent of rouge in the corridor yesterday, which is definitely not an ordinary woman, but the body fragrance after sweating.

The general said: Where are there any women in this mansion?

Ruan Tai suddenly breathed and said: Just outside the door!
