Chapter 2211 Here comes the tunnel to connect friends!

Let's not talk about how long it will take for the Longteng Dynasty to calm down because of Shenjiaowan, let's just say that Qiguo's exploding night has passed.

The next day is the twelfth day of February in the 21st year of Qiguo Deshun. After the earth-shattering movement last night, Qiguo was extremely quiet this morning.

Many people did not dare to go out at all. Yesterday’s earthquake and mountain shaking frightened many people, especially near Zhaojiazhuang. There are many people whose houses are not solid. Count the people whose houses were damaged.

The emperor has already ordered the government to give these ordinary people the money to renovate their houses, and each family will not be subsidized more than ten taels of silver. Although the people don't know how this sudden disaster came about, the emperor's move has won the hearts of the people.

Of course, the Echo Gate industry in Zhaojiazhuang has been completely scrapped. The entire Zhaojiazhuang area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters has become ruins. The courtyard in the middle is full of fragments of broken walls and broken tiles. There was almost smoke, and there was a very deep pit in the middle of the courtyard.

Perhaps this generation in the future may become a fish pond, and such a deep hole can no longer be filled. After the summer rainy season comes, this generation will change, and now it can only be left like this.

Last night, after confirming that all the people at the Echo Gate were teleported away, Third Uncle Nangong took Qin Hui and Siyang to check this place again. The side of the deep pit that was blown out turned out to be an extremely stable mechanism. Third Uncle Nangong opened it. After checking, it was discovered that this was actually a tunnel entrance.

After going in along the entrance of this tunnel, Siyang saw that something was wrong, because the layout of this place was actually the same as that of the tunnel found in Prince Su's Mansion before, and it was filled with a lot of gold, silver and jewels There are also various supplies.

It can be said unceremoniously that this place should be the underground warehouse of Echo Gate. The important thing is that there are many weapons. Hundreds of thousands of swords and guns are placed in the warehouse brightly. The cold light of cold weapons makes people feel scalp Numbing things.

Therefore, Siyang was not polite, and packed up all these things and prepared them for the emperor's uncle. In particular, there were chariots and a lot of armor in this weapon, and many of the weapons were made of black refined iron. Yang is very happy.

The Five Nations Competition is approaching, and the last batch of refined black iron they brought back from other cities has not had time to be refined into weapons. They just secretly gathered blacksmiths together and prepared to start smelting, so this batch of weapons and equipment came just.

Walking along this tunnel, although it is not well-connected, all the exits in the middle have been investigated. Almost every village has an exit, all the way to the capital. Now the Jingjing Zeng city wall has been filled with lead. It couldn't be dug in, so it stopped around the city wall. There was only one opening that was dug particularly deep, and you could enter the east gate of the capital along the tunnel. After that, there were several residential houses as cover, and finally reached Prince Su's mansion.

The branch of the secret path that the palace guards and red wing guards had been looking for before was exposed to everyone. Fortunately, it was discovered before the Five Nations Competition, otherwise something more serious might happen.

It seems that the capital city has been dug into a sieve these years, so the emperor specially ordered that houses, passages, ditches, etc. should not be dug deep without reason, and those who violated it would be punished by exile for thousands of miles.

Therefore, in response to this situation, the past year has been much quieter. Anyone who wants to dig a grain or vegetable storage cellar at home must apply to Lizheng or the regional supervision, otherwise it will be punished as a crime!

After discovering the secret passage, Siyang was busy for another two or three days before finishing the matter. Of course, all the resources in the secret passage had been completely cleaned up. Now the emperor is also a rich man. The warehouse in the pit has the most stuff.

Siyang looked at the several storage objects in his hand, and smiled very happily and comfortably, Echo Gate, Echo Gate, you are really not easy, you have contributed a lot to Qiguo’s treasury, should the emperor be awarded How about a Best Contribution Award for you?

If the now embarrassed Echo Gate knew Siyang's thoughts, then the current Echo Gate's beleaguered ruler, the Right Envoy, would definitely be furious. Speaking, this is fatal.

Uncle Nangong is also very busy these days. He is collecting traces of people who have no Echo Gate, especially the traces of the teleportation array. At present, it seems that almost all of them have been destroyed. This place should not have such a thing, Nangong San The one my uncle destroyed was called a smooth hand, and it was scrapped as soon as I saw it, and the scrapped one could not be scrapped again.

So now, regardless of the five eastern countries or overseas, the loss of the Echo Gate can be described as incalculable. The most important Echo Gate has also lost a lot of personnel this time. There are not many elders left, and the hall master is missing. More than half, there are more other small offal.

Therefore, for more than [-] years, the Echo Gate, which has always been good at hiding and keeping a low profile, suffered such a serious injury for the first time, and it was directly at the level of Mie Ding.

So much so that the people from the Echo Gate of the Eastern Five Kingdoms couldn’t contact the organization, and they were already frantic. It’s a pity that the base camp of the Echo Gate in Shenjiaowan was destroyed. , they can only act on intuition.

And other countries are still safe and sound because of such a big movement in Qiguo. After many forces have been observing in the dark for a few days, many actions that were previously arranged have been temporarily stranded, fearing that there will be irreversible consequences.

Many forces quietly went to Zhaojiazhuang on the outskirts of the capital to see the huge deep pit and the tens of thousands of meters of scorched land around it. It is hard for people to imagine what happened here, and it could finally cause such consequences.

Therefore, the things they planned for Qiguo can only be shelved temporarily until this matter is investigated.

The only one who is not reconciled is the Xiong family in Fancheng. Now that the Xiong family has come to the capital, they originally planned that after the capital is in ruins, their Xiong family will directly take charge of helping Echo Gate to win the control of Qiguo. As a result, the Xiong family followed Shishitang The Lord's people suffered heavy losses, and almost all those in the Xiong family with meager spiritual power disappeared.

Now the Xiong family has completely lost contact with the Echo Gate and the Fourteenth Hall Master, like a kite breaking free from its string and flying around in the air without any rules.

The old Patriarch of the Xiong Family immediately vomited blood and passed out when he heard the news. When he woke up, the Zhao Family Village had already been turned into ruins. Now all the people from the Echo Gate could not be contacted, and all the previous teleportation arrays were destroyed. The Xiong family wanted to find something useful to them, but they couldn't find it now.

Therefore, now the old Patriarch of the Xiong Family can only place his hopes on his own daughter, Xiong Youlan, who is also the Saintess Youlan of the Echo Gate in the Five Eastern Kingdoms.

Now the old Patriarch of the Xiong family is in the study of the mansion in the capital, talking to his daughter. The daughter has been waiting for a few days with a small crystal, but there is still no news.

The old Patriarch of the Xiong Family said with a pale face, "What's going on in the Youlan Gate?"

Xiong Youlan frowned and said: "Father, there is still no news at all. We can't act rashly now. Everyone in the Echo Gate can't be contacted now. We don't know anything about the overseas situation, so we can only wait."

"Damn it, what went wrong? The plan was perfect, but why did such a big mistake suddenly happen? I still don't understand it. It's obviously just a matter of Qiguo. Why can't the door be contacted? Did something really happen?"

Xiong Youlan said seriously: "Father, your analysis may be right. Although I don't know what happened in the door, but this is the first time in so many years that I can't get in touch with the door. It seems that something must have happened there. What's the matter, let's not act rashly here, just wait for the news."

"In addition, my sister is married to the second wife of the Yao family. Could it be that the second wife of the Yao family has leaked some secrets? But the Yaojin Kingdom is also the site of the Echo Gate, so there should be no such low-level mistakes. There must be something wrong here, Dad. Wait at home first, I will go to my sister's house to ask about the situation."

The old man of the Xiong family said: "Okay, you go out and take a few people with you. The people in the capital are very chaotic now. Don't cause any trouble, and come back as soon as possible. Your status is special and your appearance is so outstanding. Now people from all sides Start to gather towards Qiguo, if some blind people treat you rudely, you don't have to be polite."

Xiong Youlan said confidently: "Dad, don't worry, my daughter is not a vegetarian, and the capital city is already bustling, so let's send a message to let people from other countries come early, it's only about half a month The time now is the Five Nations Tournament, I believe this time it will be very lively."

The old man of Xiong's family agreed with this idea very much. Since Qiguo is already in chaos, let's make it a little more chaotic. After people from other countries come over, let's see how the emperor of Qiguo can still notice their family.

Xiong Youlan soon went out to Yaojin Kingdom Yao's house in the capital, while Qinhui's mother Yue entered the study with a happy face and said, "Master, Princess Sheng and Princess Feng are already in Yuyanfang Waiting for the master, they know that the palace is now closed and it is inconvenient to come and go, they hope to see you as soon as possible, saying that they have important news to tell you!"

This news was the best news I heard in the past few days, so Qin Hui also said happily: "Okay, hurry up and change my clothes, I'm going to meet them!"

Mother Yue hurriedly waited on Qin Hui to change her clothes. Qin Hui generally liked to wear light-colored, low-key and restrained clothes when going out, and didn't like to make publicity. What's the news?
