Under Tan Pingzhi's suspicious eyes, Liu Yu had already organized his team and was ready to set off, while Police Shen, who had never been trusted in the army, naturally stood at the forefront of the team.
Ahead is an unknown, dark road. The interior of this secret passage is very high, enough for an eight-foot strong man to walk effortlessly in it, without having to lower his head at all.
Looking at the two walls of the secret passage, they are also very smooth. It can be seen that when this secret passage was originally dug, the builders must have had plenty of time and the workmanship was quite meticulous.
Police Officer Shen stood at the front of the team, followed by hundreds of brothers from Beifu. He held a torch in his hand and his back was extremely straight.
The feeling of being relied on and trusted by others is really great!
The more trust there is, the higher Lao Shen’s ambition will be, and he will stride forward with a majestic and high-spirited attitude.
Is this possible?
Lao Shen...is he reliable?
I don’t know. General Liu said he can do it, so he should definitely do it.
The soldiers, full of doubts, reluctantly followed Police Shen. Suspicious eyes flickered among the soldiers.
Based on their trust in Liu Yu, the soldiers did not dare to question.
Liu Yu also understood the mood of the soldiers very well. Since he started marching, he had been careful not to break away from the formation of the soldiers.
Keep an eye on them and beware of them causing trouble.
The only thing worth gratifying may be that the dark passage ahead is still a smooth road.
Where the firelight shines, the earth is solid and straight forward, with no twists and turns. On the walls along the way, there are circular brackets placed there early to place torches.
Because it is so old, the torches coated with tung oil can no longer be seen. It can be seen that the people who built this secret passage must have attached great importance to it.
For this secret passage, the Beifu soldiers were just passers-by. The soldiers held torches in their hands and had no intention of placing them on the brackets and leaving them to future generations.
“Shen Canjun, are you sure there must be an exit halfway?” Because it is known that this secret passage eventually leads to Fort Victory.
Liu Yu and others want to reinforce Wang Mi, and they will never return to Victory Fort. Therefore, the current focus of attention is on the so-called exit halfway.
This is what Police Shen promised with patting his chest, there must be such an outlet. At first, Liu Yu was not sure about this statement because of his face.
Now, they have been walking slowly for almost half a stick of incense in the slightly crowded dark passage. It is time.
This is not only for myself, but also for the hundreds of brothers behind me.
Jing Shen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I can be sure."
Liu Yu was relieved as long as he could be sure. He turned to look at Tan Pingzhi, who still looked angry.
He quickly patted his shoulder, indicating that he wanted to give Old Shen a chance. It was not easy for Old Shen either.
Tan Pingzhi didn't appreciate it. According to his developed sixth sense, it was absolutely impossible for this old man, Police Shen, not to cause trouble at the critical moment.
Look at it!
If everyone is counting on him, something will definitely go wrong.
“It’s just that I have to look carefully for the specific location of this exit.”
ｔｔｔｔｔｔ myself
The sound of a heart breaking into pieces could be heard clearly in the dark secret passage.
There was an expression of panic on the faces of the soldiers. The situation now was different from before. Just before half a stick of incense was placed, they were still guarding an exit.
No matter what, you can at least rush out from that exit, and finally see the light of day, like a real warrior, fighting until the last moment.
However, now...
The mood of panic inevitably spread among the Beifu soldiers. Now, people not only doubted whether there would be an exit in the middle, but were even uncertain whether there would be an exit at the end of the secret passage.
“Shen Canjun, please don’t play tricks on us!”
"Whether there is a way or not, please give me an accurate answer."
“Don’t make trouble, didn’t you see that Shen Canjun is looking for you?”
“Don’t distract him!”
Among the many voices of doubt, there are still scattered voices of support for Police Shen, which is really gratifying.
Jing Shen raised his torch and shined it upwards. Along the way, he did not give up looking for the exit. Although he seemed carefree, he actually valued his colleagues.
From the moment he joined the Beifu Army, Police Officer Shen regarded himself as a member of the army, but he had never acted like a court official.
Amid the doubts, Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi remained silent. This is also the quality that a military general should have.
Police Shen's situation is already very unfavorable. At this time, if they jump out to question Police Shen again, there will definitely be chaos in the secret passage.
Hissssssss……
Just when everyone was in chaos and didn't know what to do, more chaotic sounds penetrated underground again.
Liu Yu’s anti-bone ears twitched a few times, and he heard the weird sound first.
"do not move!"
“Listen carefully, there is a sound above!”
Among them, Liu Yu had the best hearing. Before anyone could react, he had already sensed the subtle sound.
"where?"
“Where is the sound?”
Lao Shen has never been one of those with sharp ears and eyes. It is even more impossible for him to detect the sounds on the ground when he is underground.
With the torch in his hand swinging wildly, Tan Pingzhi quickly caught up with Liu Yu.
Listen carefully, there is indeed a small sound.
呲呲……
"here and there."
“There seems to be a voice of speech!”
Tan Pingzhi's performance was even more miraculous. Logically speaking, without an exit, they would not be able to hear the sounds on the ground clearly while standing underground.
But Lao Tan still scratched his head and claimed that he heard short words.
Cengceng......
Hiss……
The same voice reached Police Shen’s ears, but it completely changed.
“What voice?”
“Someone is clearly crawling!”
“There are indeed people on the ground!” Liu Yu said.
“It’s just talking!” Tan Pingzhi was stubborn.
“The sound came from the secret passage!” The torch in Officer Shen’s hand also pointed towards the depths of the secret passage.
Three people, three different opinions.
The only thing that is the same is that the sound in the secret passage is getting louder. Not only the generals, but even the soldiers can vaguely hear it.
There are different opinions, and no one agrees with anyone.
Lao Shen wanted to lead the team into the secret passage, but Liu Yu and the others still insisted on holding their troops back first. The soldiers behind them did not regard Police Shen as a meal at all.
If Liu Yu can't move, no one can pull Police Shen back.
"I'll go up and have a look!" Tan Pingzhi was impatient. Since he heard the sound, he had to investigate clearly. Standing here was not an issue.
He used the handle of his knife to carve out several small dimples on the two walls of the secret passage. Tan was very satisfied when he saw that they were of the right size and depth.
Stepping on these small holes, Tan Pingzhi jumped up half his body. He put one ear against the earthy rock wall at the top of the tunnel and listened carefully.
“You guys are looking for it here, I’ll go to the front and have a look!”
No one paid any attention to Lao Shen, and Lao Shen didn't intend to go with them. He heard the sound very clearly, and the voice clearly came from the depths of the secret passage.
How could it be from the ground?
If the sound can really be transmitted from the ground to the underground, it can only mean one problem. There must be an exit nearby!
