Dress up and fight!

Chapter 893: Lao Tzu’s Brothers (33)

Then there was only a "bang", and the ground of the entire small courtyard collapsed along the crack.

Due to the extremely fast and large area of ​​the collapse, Jin Qing had a bad intuition, so he rushed up to the old locust tree in the center of the yard with a few steps.

Halfway up the climb, Jin Qing only felt as if he had stepped on something with a spring.

Feeling the softness under her feet, Jin Qing frowned and stepped on it hard, only to hear a few clicks of gears rubbing against each other, followed by the sound of rushing water.

Jin Qing: "." What's the situation.

Then, before Jin Qing could react, he saw a burst of hot air rising from the dusty ground.

Then, a group of people dressed in black and with the special mark of the Zhen Guogong Mansion on their backs rushed out from the bottom like a group of fried ants. Judging from their posture, there should be more than two hundred people.
These densely packed men in black rushed out of the ground to escape while fighting the fire on their bodies.

Jin Qing could even hear the screams of those who didn't come and those who escaped were burned by the flames coming from the ground.

It seems that in this desolate courtyard, there seems to be more than one basement floor, and those who just ran out should be the group of people closest to the ground.

It is estimated that none of these people might be able to escape without Jin Qing's whip just now.

Jin Qing scratched the back of her head: Did she get into trouble!

It was fire oil flowing down from the tree just now. This thing burns very fast and is very viscous. As long as it sticks to the body, it is extremely difficult to extinguish.

These men in black with marks were more or less stained with kerosene, and they had no time to take care of Jin Qing at this moment, but fled to a safe place quickly while putting out the fire.

Jin Qing hugged the tree tightly and looked at these people suspiciously: These people gave her the feeling that they were very similar to the people who chased and killed Long Chengbo twice before.

As the heat got heavier, Jin Qing could already see the fire coming from the ground, and the whole yard was like a red-hot pot, Jin Qing only felt that the big tree he was hugging became hot.

Jin Qing buckled the bark in doubt, why didn't the tree catch fire!

Who would have thought that after grasping it, Jin Qing was surprised to find that the tree was fake, but its manufacturing process was so ingenious that even the branches and leaves were made so lifelike that it was no different from a real tree. not the slightest difference.

707 also secretly sighed: There is only such a tree with traps all over the yard, and its host can step on it. The luck of its host is really unlucky. Fortunately, these are murderous secret guards, otherwise They did something wrong this time.

Jin Qing: "." This tree grows in the middle of the yard, okay?

The tree that Jin Qing hugged did indeed have organs.

There are four underground floors in this Duke's mansion, like a huge underground palace, it is a place specially used by Duke Zhen to train the secret guards.

And that tree is the destruction device of the underground palace. Once the mechanism is triggered, the entire underground palace will burn and destroy everything, completely burying the secrets of the Duke's Mansion.

Unless there is a key or strong pressure, the mechanism cannot be activated at all.

The key is kept in the hands of Lord Zhen Guo, and it would be impossible to activate the mechanism unless he was under strong pressure from the outside world.

Therefore, successive Dukes of Zhen Guo used this courtyard as a forbidden area of ​​the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and tamed the dark guards in the underground of the capital with peace of mind.

But Zhen Guogong ignored unexpected factors like Jin Qing.

In the fourth-floor palace, the more missions and killing-heavy hidden guards, the closer to the bottom to prevent them from contacting the outside world for a long time, and their minds are more active.

Therefore, as soon as night fell, the passages between each floor in the underground palace would be closed to ensure that there would be no hidden guards to defect out privately during the night.

Who would have thought that this time Jin Qing was almost taken over by him.

Due to the subsidence of the ground, the fire that should have been smothered in the ground has spread to the yard, and the wailing sounds from the ground have completely disappeared.

For a while, the temperature in the yard was strangely permeable, the human voice rose and fell and disappeared, but the air was filled with the crackling sound of burning flames.

The soaring flames lit the backyard of the Duke's Mansion red.

When the servants on duty at night in the mansion noticed the flames here, they immediately yelled, "It's gone!"

Hearing people running over from the Duke's Mansion one after another, Jin Qing quickly jumped to the top of the tree, jumped to the roof beside him, jumped around like this, and then quickly fled back to his yard: don't look for her , she has been sleeping and doesn't know anything.

There was too much movement in Zhen Guogong's mansion, which alarmed many people who lived nearby.

Apart from high-ranking officials, those who live nearby are the families of noble dukes and princes.

They also noticed the soaring flames and the people in black rushing out of the yard.

One of the middle-aged officials who had just visited the palace happened to see this scene. He stared dumbfounded at the man in black flying out of Duke Zhen's mansion, and said tremblingly to himself, "How dare you raise such a man?" There are so many private soldiers, this is to "rebel", before the word "rebellion" was said, someone who suddenly appeared behind covered his mouth and dragged him to a dark place.

The official turned his head and found that the person covering his mouth turned out to be his immediate superior, Mr. Chen from Yushitai.

Seeing the boss approaching, the official hurriedly bowed to Mr. Chen, but was supported by Mr. Chen, who gave him a silent expression.

Then the two of them were not talking, but looked at the fire that could not be put out no matter what happened in the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

Under the reflection of the distant fire.Lord Chen's complexion flickered, and it took him a long while before he said to the officials: "Go back and prepare for tomorrow's papers." Ashamed of the Emperor's favor, the Duke of Zhen's government has been raising secret guards in the capital. The Jinluan Hall said it well.

The official bowed deeply to Master Chen, then turned and left in a hurry: Your Excellency is right, this is the responsibility of the censors.

So, while the Zhen Guo government was still busy fighting the fire, a brochure to participate in them had already been handed over to the emperor's desk.

Inside the town government.

The old Zhen Guogong was thrown from the wall by Jin Qing before, and he fell very badly. He broke two ribs continuously, and was ordered not to get out of bed by the imperial physician.

The Duke of Zhen, who was thrown under him, was injured a little more seriously than him, and he is still recuperating in the room.

Although he is a military general who holds the power of soldiers and horses in the world, the old Zhen Guogong is really not very broad-minded.

At this time, Lao Zhen Guogong was lying on the bed with luck, and planned to let his subordinates kill Dingguohou's mansion completely after he recovered.

Like his son, he won the trust of the emperor all his life as a soldier. In this capital, he has always suppressed others and beat him. How could he have been so angry.
