Chapter 63 Fortress in the Mountains

Go to the innermost part and there is a stone staircase going down.

Just as Chen Jinjun was about to go down, he was pulled back by Huo Tingyu.

"Don't worry, I don't know what's down there."

As he said that, a group of heavily armed soldiers slowly descended the stairs.

Chen Jinjun bit his lower lip, knowing that he was too impatient.

Sure enough, gunshots were heard below, and Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu gratefully.

Seeing her bright eyes looking over, Huo Tingyu turned away, his ears a little red.

Xu Fanming pouted: "Going down."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Chen Jinjun and Huo Tingyu, and just walked to the floor below.

Chen Jinjun also followed immediately.

The steps were high and steep. When they reached the bottom, Chen Jinjun had just stood firm when he was shocked by the sight in front of him.

Huo Tingyu, who was following her, saw Chen Jinjun standing still and took a look.

There are not only large cigarette baskets full of smoke, but also a whole wall of munitions.

"He wants to rebel." Huo Tingyu bit his back molars and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"There are stairs there." Xu Fanming pointed to the corner, where Ji Li was walking up with a group of soldiers.

Huo Tingyu asked Ji Li: "Is there anyone else down there?"

Ji Li shook his head: "No one, I just came up, just..."

His expression was a bit complicated and he hesitated to speak.

Chen Jinjun didn't care about this, she walked straight down.

"My boss!" Ji Li called her, but it was too late, Chen Jinjun had already walked down.

Ji Li could only hurry up and follow.

Xu Fanming and Huo Tingyu quickly followed behind.

If Chen Jinjun was shocked by the large number of black bumps and weapons when she first went down to the second floor, then this lowest floor is also the most terrifying one. She was completely affected by Cai Ying's evil deeds.

So disgusting.

The space on this floor is about the same size as the top floor, with rows and rows of wooden shelves neatly arranged inside.

It's just the things on the shelves that make people's hair stand on end.

There is a white skeleton on each shelf.

Chen Jinjun looked at it layer by layer. The bones here were big and small, but without exception, they were all clean bones without a trace of flesh and blood. Some of the bones were even surrounded by clothes and jewelry they had worn during their lifetimes.

, the name of the deceased was also engraved on the shelf, and how he offended Cai Ying.

She only felt a lump in her throat and her whole back was numb.

She walked to the last shelf with bones, and saw the words "Hu Yuan, died under the execution of the Qinghong Society" engraved next to the bones on the shelf.

Chen Jinjun climbed onto the empty shelf nearby and looked down at Hu Yuan's bones.

The clothes he wore at the banquet were still lying under Bai Gu's body, but they were torn and stained with blood.

Chen Jinjun looked at the shelf next to him again and saw "Yang Qing, Betrayal" engraved on the bottom of the shelf.

She knelt down and looked at the row of small characters.

At this time, Huo Tingyu also came over and stood next to Chen Jinjun, looking at the line of small words.

"If I hadn't asked Zheng Wen to deliver tea to Shopkeeper Yang that night, I'm afraid there would have been another innocent soul here."

Chen Jinjun's voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness.

The cold early morning light shone on her face through the small open window. She hugged her knees and squatted on the shelf, hiding the lower half of her face in her folded arms. There was almost substantial compassion in her eyes.

Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun and didn't know how to comfort her.

He also saw Hu Yuan's bones beside him and couldn't help but walk over.

"Qinghonghui?" Huo Tingyu read out with some confusion.

Chen Jinjun turned his head slightly and looked over: "Every bone here is related to Cai Ying."

Her low voice seemed particularly ethereal in this somewhat dark space.

Huo Tingyu walked up to her, raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Jinjun who was squatting on the shelf.

"Cai Ying, it is not a pity to die."

Chen Jinjun blinked, knowing that this was Huo Tingyu's answer to her original question about whether he would spare Cai Ying's life.

Just as she was about to say something, Huo Tingyu spoke again.

"However, just one shot would be a bit too easy on him."

Huo Tingyu held a ball of fire in his chest and ran around in his body, looking for a place to vent.

Chen Jinjun tilted his head: "What does the commander think should be done?"

"There is an old and cruel official from the Qing Dynasty in the Yongzhou government."

Huo Tingyu's face showed a trace of cruelty against the light.

Chen Jinjun just looked at it and felt that Huo Tingyu was definitely not a commander who could be manipulated by others. On the contrary, he would never be merciless when he should be ruthless.

She nodded, sighed, and jumped off the shelf with her hands on her hands.

Huo Tingyu subconsciously wanted to reach out to catch her, but when he saw Ji Li walking over, he took his hand back abruptly.

Chen Jinjun walked to the window, gestured with his hands, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so ingenious."

Huo Tingyu came over puzzled: "How can I say this?"

Chen Jinjun pointed out to him: "When I was in Guandong before, the windows of those bandits were like this. They were small on the outside and wide on the inside, allowing light to penetrate better. And when you look at this side from the opposite mountain, you can't find anything unusual at all."

As she said that, she turned back and pointed at the light and shadow on the ground: "The sun is still low now, and the light comes in deeply and does not shine on the bones. This is a specially built morgue."

Ji Li took a look at almost every skeleton here to see who it was and how it offended Cai Ying. He suddenly stopped in front of an empty shelf on the side.

"Commander, look here quickly."

Huo Tingyu walked over and looked at where Ji Li pointed.

When he saw the words engraved on the shelf clearly, he frowned with thick eyebrows like a broad knife.

Chen Jinjun was also curious, but his sight was blocked by Xu Fanming who came over after hearing the sound.

Xu Fanming tilted his head and saw two rows of small characters carved on the wooden frame: "Chen Jinjun, lingering in the clouds and rain, exhausted on the bed."

He clenched his back molars fiercely, took out the dagger from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and chipped off the words engraved on the shelf.

The sawdust fell on the ground, and Chen Jinjun was about to squat down to see what was engraved on it, but Huo Tingyu stepped on it and crushed it severely.

Chen Jinjun, who saw nothing, couldn't help but become curious: "What's engraved on it?"

"It's not a good thing, there's no need to look at it." Huo Tingyu spread the pile of scraps with his feet, and Chen Jinjun couldn't even tell what it was.

She could only look at Xu Fanming curiously.

Xu Fanming spread his hands, opened his eyes and told lies with an innocent face: "I don't know either."

Seeing the two people like this, Chen Jinjun simply put away his curiosity and sighed: "Go back and arrest Cai Ying now?"

With a look of disgust on his face, Xu Fanming kicked the sawdust on the ground even further.

Huo Tingyu nodded: "Go back to the city."

Then he said to Ji Li: "Tie up all the people in the mountains and bring them back, and send these dirty things to the military camp for security."

Ji Li nodded and immediately led his soldiers to transport all these things down the cliff.

After saying that, Ji Li took out a flare gun from his waist, shot it in the air through the window.
