Chapter 477 Secret Passage
When it was getting dark, Ye Lingxi came out of the camp and stood at the door looking in the direction of Xiuzhou City. Her eyes were still covered with bandages. In the past two days, she had taken off the bandages and could already see some things clearly.

At this time, Ye Xingye ran over in a hurry, holding a baggage in his hand, with an excited look on his face, as if he had made a great discovery. He was about to speak, and then looked around warily, then advanced to the tent, and asked Xiaochun and Xiaohong stood guard at the door, and then whispered.

In the past two days, he had people secretly survey the terrain to see where it was suitable to dig a secret tunnel. Just now, a scout came back to report that a suspicious person was found in the forest behind the city, sneaking around in the forest with his arms in his arms. Carrying a baggage. The scout quietly followed him to the back of a hidden hillside. The man looked around for a while, then dug a hole, hid the baggage, and left furtively. The scout continued to follow him and saw him enter. A cave.

The scout was afraid of an ambush inside and did not dare to go in rashly, so he came back first to report the situation to Ye Xingye and brought back the baggage.

Ye Xingye opened the bag in front of Ye Lingxi. Inside was a pile of gold and silver jewelry. He analyzed that the man was a thief who buried the stolen treasure there. He must have wanted to go back and steal again. He analyzed that the man must know a secret way into the city. , decided to take people to the cave to check it out in person. Ye Lingxi felt that things were a coincidence and reminded him that it was a trap. Ye Xingye reassured her that he would bring more people there and nothing would happen.

Ye Lingxi asked the two Longying guards left by Yan Fei to go with Ye Xingye, and repeatedly told him to be more careful. Ye Xingye was confident and when he left with the people, it was already dark.

About half an hour later, a Dragon Shadow Guard came back and reported to Ye Lingxi that he had found a secret passage in the cave, leading to the city. Ye Xingye asked him to come back and bring five hundred elites there, and then launch a surprise attack, both inside and outside. Ye Lingxi asked Long Shadow Guard to select someone, and set off immediately after selecting someone. Based on her understanding of her third brother, she must have led someone into the secret passage first.

When Long Shadow Guards left the camp with 500 elites, they found someone waiting in front of them. It was Ye Lingxi. The bandage on her eyes had been removed. She wanted to go together, saying that her eyes were almost healed and she would not give them to them. Holding back.

After entering the cave, Ye Lingxi felt as if she was going downhill. The deeper she walked, the deeper she went, and the air became more humid. There was a ticking sound, and there was the sound of water drops falling. A quarter of an hour later, a spacious cave appeared in front of her. , there are all kinds of strange stalactites hanging inside, but she has no time to appreciate such natural wonders now.

There is a cave entrance in front, which is the direction into the city. When Ye Xingye asked Long Shadow Guard to return to the camp to report the news, he stood in front of the cave entrance. Now there is no one there. As Ye Lingxi expected, the people went in first.

After entering from the entrance of the cave, Ye Lingxi observed the stone walls on both sides. They looked regular and smooth, with traces of artificial excavation. After walking forward for about half a quarter of an hour, she saw a fire flickering in front of her.

Long Shadow Guard went over to check the situation first and came back to report that it was His Highness the Third.

After the two sides met, Ye Xingye was very surprised to see Ye Lingxi coming. He was even more surprised to see that she didn't have a bandage on her eyes. He was worried that she would be injured and asked Long Yingwei to send her back. Ye Lingxi wanted to see if this secret passage could lead to the city. If it could, she would go back and bring more people to help.

After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the end. There were steps in front of us, which were pressed with stone slabs. Long Yingwei went up first, quietly pushed the stone slab away, looked out from the gap for a while, then pushed the stone slab halfway, and lightly He jumped to the ground, looked up and saw a Buddha statue. The air was filled with a strong smell of incense. It seemed that he was inside a temple.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities around, Long Shadow Guard made a gesture, and Ye Xingye went up first, followed by Ye Lingxi, while the rest stayed below, waiting for orders.

Ye Xingye tiptoed to the door, gently opened a crack in the door and looked outside. There was no one there. He closed the door gently and tiptoed back. He felt a little embarrassed and captured Liu Xin first. It is better to deal with the defenders first and let the army enter the city.

Ye Lingxi always felt that things were going too smoothly, which was a bit strange. She asked the two Dragon Shadow Guards if there was any way to get in touch with the Dragon Shadow Guards who had sneaked into the city before. One of the Dragon Shadow Guards left first, and half a quarter of an hour later On the left and right, another Dragon Shadow Guard came back. Ye Lingxi asked about Yan Fei, eager to know his safety. Long Yingwei hesitated for a moment. She felt a thump in her heart and asked Yan Fei if something had happened. Long Yingwei replied that Liu Xin had arrested him. Ye Lingxi asked anxiously. Where was the person being imprisoned? Long Yingwei said, "Princess, don't worry, everything is according to the master's plan." She took a deep breath silently, "Was he arrested on purpose?" Long Yingwei nodded, and she silently He took a deep breath and asked about the situation in the city.

Long Yingwei said that there was something strange in the city. There were no soldiers patrolling the streets and no people were seen going out. What was even more strange was that there was no one in the homes of the people they sneaked into.

Ye Xingye's expression changed, "Could they all be killed?!"

Ye Lingxi thought it was impossible, "If they were all killed, where would the bodies be? With so many people, even if they were all burned, the smell would have spread to the camp long ago."

Ye Xingye looked at the secret passage under his feet, "Maybe they all escaped from here." He then asked curiously, "Then why doesn't Liu Xin escape? Doesn't he know that there is a secret passage here." He looked happy, " Since everyone has escaped, what should we be afraid of?" He immediately called the soldiers below to come up, preparing to go directly to Liu Mansion to capture Liu Xin alive.

"Lingxi, just stay here, don't run around, you two stay to protect the princess."

Ye Xingye left two dragon shadow guards and twenty elites to protect Ye Lingxi. He took the people away without waiting for her to say anything. After leaving the temple, he asked half of them to raid the city gate and enlarge the army into the city. He led the Take the other half to Liu Mansion to catch someone.

The more Ye Lingxi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger. She felt that the whole city was like a huge trap waiting for prey to get in. Thinking of this, she immediately asked a dragon shadow guard to rush back to the camp, Qian Qian She must not let the army enter the city, so she left the temple with another dragon shadow guard and asked twenty elites to guard here to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

However, when the Long Shadow Guard rushed back to the camp, the army had already arrived at the city gate. At this time, the city gate was wide open and the army entered the city. The Long Shadow Guard rode up to catch up with the general who led the army and asked him to withdraw from the city immediately. The other party did not agree. , Long Shadow Guard raised the token given to him by Ye Lingxi and ordered the army to leave the city immediately. Suddenly there was a loud bang, the house collapsed, and the soil flew everywhere, followed by another bang, and the army quickly evacuated.

Amid the constant rumblings, the entire street turned into ruins in just a few minutes.

A wooden plank flew over, and Ye Lingxi was almost hit. The continuous rumbling sound almost shattered her eardrums. The ground seemed to be shaking violently. She couldn't stand still. There was another rumbling sound, which was particularly loud. It was clear, as if she was very close. She felt like she was being blown away by a wave of air, and was about to hit the wall. Fortunately, she was caught by someone. She was dizzy from the impact, and only saw a blurry face, which was a bit weird. .

After she calmed down, she realized that the vague and weird face was a mask. The other person was wearing a fox mask. At first glance, she thought it was the playboy, but those eyes were not the same person. She said she was going to Liu Mansion, and those eyes glanced at her without saying anything. After a while, the two of them arrived outside the Liu Mansion.

This place is far away from the rumbling sound, and every brick and tile is intact.

The door was open, and there were figures shaking inside. It was her third brother's people. When Ye Lingxi looked away, the people around her had disappeared. She stepped in, and a Dragon Shadow Guard came to take her away.
