Chapter 352 Preparing to Go Down the Tunnel Again (Part [-])
"We can't beat him alone, but if eight of us beat him to one, we will definitely win." The third child replied with a smile.

Xing Yun snorted, but did not refute.

Wu Chen put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "Come on, let's go down the tunnel and have a look."

Xing Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You mean to go to the tunnel that you collapsed last night?"

Wu Chen nodded and said, "The front section has collapsed, but the back section has not collapsed. Taking advantage of the dawn, and the three of you are not weak in kung fu, let me dig it up and have a look..."

"Wait a minute!" Xing Yun also stood up: "This has nothing to do with the strength of the three of us. If the thing is non-toxic and the quantity is not large, it will be fine. If it is like last night, the three of us will have to confess that we are in the same place." Here it is!"

Wu Chen smiled and said, "How can it be like last night? Besides, they poured a lot of water last night, and some of it can flow into the tunnel. Even if there is some in the tunnel, it is frozen. What are you afraid of?"

Xing Yun thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go and see it with you."

The third child and the fourth child were very curious. They didn't dare to ask Wu Chen. They asked Xing Yun as they walked. The more they listened, their eyes widened. When they reached the yard last night, Xing Yun deliberately pulled the cover off the giant python. Let the third and fourth children take a closer look.

The third and fourth raised their eyebrows, and after listening to Xing Yun's explanation, the two looked at Wu Chen from respect to reverence.

While Xing Yun was explaining, Wu Chen had already begun to study where it would be reasonable to start digging.

This tunnel goes through the uninhabited house next door. Last night Wu Chen and the giant python fought to the outermost yard of the house next door. The tunnel that has not collapsed runs across this house. Built above the tunnel.

Wu Chen waved his hand and called the yamen servant who was standing by to ask, "Have you found the owner of this house?"

The yamen servant shrank his neck and shook his head, "I don't know."

Wu Chen said: "Go find someone to report to Shangfu Yin, and say that I have to destroy several houses in this house. If the master wants to pay compensation, the official will pay."

The yamen servant was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and retreated.

Wu Chen loudly asked the guards to take a few steps aside, and then he razed the courtyard walls and houses above the tunnel to the ground, and ordered the soldiers and servants to go forward and clear away the bricks, stones and wood.

The third child and the fourth child were listening to the book and followed Xing Yun to visit the scene of the fierce battle last night. Except for the two giant pythons, several broken snakes were now clearly visible in the ice water.

The two were still feeling emotional when they suddenly heard a loud crashing sound. The three of them looked over at the same time. Xing Yun didn't take it seriously, and the third and fourth children looked stupid.

The eight people who were sent to Wu Chen's house had heard a lot about Wu Chen's rumors, but whether the rumors were credible or not, the eight people didn't take it seriously until the day when Chen Zhong and Yuan Shuchun were executed. This new lord is different from ordinary people, and seeing the high-ranking officials in the capital want to meet the new lord one after another, even the crown prince came in person, they felt respectful from the bottom of their hearts.

Have the third and fourth children ever seen Wu Chen showing off his power?

Now that we met, apart from being stunned, the two of them didn't know what expression to use.

Wu Chen looked at his work and was very satisfied. He was afraid that when the walls of the house and courtyard collapsed, the tunnel would also collapse, so he didn't dare to fly up and use his hand. Instead, he tried to destroy the buildings on the ground as much as possible to prevent the strength from reaching the ground.

This operation seemed normal to Wu Chen, and the guards and soldiers standing guard were not too surprised. Even if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes last night, they had seen what was in the courtyard today, and had listened to it several times last night. In fact, seeing Wu Chen waved his hands again and felt nothing.

But the third and fourth were different, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, Xing Yun mocked when he saw this: "He is your lord, you are the most surprised."

The third child said: "Stop talking sarcastic, we have only been with the Lord for a few days, but you have known each other for a long time."

Xing Yun said proudly: "What you see now is nothing, what surprises you is behind."

The fourth child hurriedly whispered to the third child:
"You can't talk about this matter when you go back, otherwise they will definitely not let us come if there is a chance next time. As long as you coax the lord well and come out a few more times, the lord will get used to us, and they won't be able to snatch it away at will. When we say it again, their jaws will definitely drop!"

The third child said: "You still have brains, I just thought I would blow something tonight..."

"Can you two do it? Hurry up and see what needs to be done!"

As Xing Yun said, he walked towards Wu Chen first.

Wu Chen was calculating where the door in the tunnel was, and whether it was within the scope of the collapse, when Xing Yun walked over and asked, "Do you want to start digging now?"

Wu Chen looked up at the sky, the sun was just in the sky, he squinted his eyes and asked, "You said that since they have already dug the tunnel, why did they install a door when they reached the underground of Liu's house they thought of?"

Xing Yun raised his eyebrows and asked: "How do you know that they installed that door? Maybe they dug the tunnel just to get to that door, and that door was installed by the person who released the snake in the first place, so as not to let the Those snakes came out..."

"How capable do you think they are? Can you accurately calculate where the door is, and then dig out the tunnel so that it happens to be that door?"

Xing Yun thought about it seriously, and Wu Chen said, "What are you thinking? You didn't see that door, you only saw a few snakes and you jumped out in fright..."

"Ah?" The third child exclaimed, and asked Xing Yun in disbelief: "A few snakes scared you?"

Xing Yun hurriedly said: "How many! You haven't seen it, and you can't bear it if you see it."

The fourth child said seriously: "Don't worry about what you see, if the Lord doesn't move, we won't move."

Xing Yun said: "Okay! I will remember your words!"

Wu Chen was standing at the end of the collapsed tunnel. The place was filled with bricks, stones and wood and was just level with the ground. You could still see ice cubes in the gap. Wu Chen calculated the distance. This place should be inside the door, but One night, there was no movement here. If there were only these snakes inside the door, why didn't they clean it up for so many years?

Others can't see it clearly, but Wu Chen can see it very clearly. The tunnel is straight and connected to the door. It can be seen that the door was repaired when the tunnel was built. Just look at the skills of the father and son. Among those people, there must be some There are a lot of capable people, so here's...

Wu Chen stared at the ground in a daze, but didn't hear a word Xing Yun and the others said. Shang Gong hurriedly led a few people into the yard, and Shang Gong shouted: "Deputy Envoy Wu! Someone brought it here."

Only then did Wu Chen come to his senses, and turned his head to see that Shang Gong was followed by a few yamen servants with a hunchbacked old man and a thin middle-aged man.

"Why did you bring it back so quickly? Shangfu Yin went there in person?" Wu Chen asked in confusion.
