Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 217 Must Be Dead
"Eighteen people, 36 people went in, and [-] people came out. I'm afraid the half of them are in danger." Someone in the crowd shouted.Listening to the accent is a river and lake figure from other places.

"It's too bad, it must have died." A local rogue sneered and said without any scruples.

"That's right, I don't even look at who Ye Hou is. From my point of view, half of the people who came out of this are also Ye Hou who is kind and deliberately let them live." said the voice.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, especially the people in the world who were even more shocked. It was such a coincidence that just half of them came out.

Nearly 19 people walked out from the crowd and came to the gate of Ye Mansion.

As soon as these 19 people appeared, there was a lot of exclamation, because they were more famous and powerful. Even after someone pointed out their identities, many ordinary people in Kaifeng had heard of their vicious or prestigious names.

It has to be said that at least half of these 19 people are first-class masters in the world.There are four more people who are well-known in the rivers and lakes.Even Li Junhao among the four stood up and returned the salute.

After the same procedure, after the same hour, ten people walked out of Ye Mansion with dejected expressions on their faces.Again, no one succeeded in breaking through the maze, and about half of them came out alive.

After that, no one came to enter the maze until it was dark.

"I made 55 transactions today, and earned a total of 500 taels of silver, which is equivalent to [-] taels. This speed of making money can only be achieved by Lord Hou." Xu Fangyi asked people to pack up the money, and carried it up. Go to the treasure room, and said with emotion.

Li Junhao smiled slightly and said: "What is this? Master Hou said that the construction cost of this maze cost a full 15 guan. According to Master Hou's plan, not only should the capital be made back, but also the profit should be at least doubled." Let everyone work in vain."

"Master, will the price increase tomorrow to 200 taels of silver?" Xu Fangyi asked.

Li Junhao said: "Of course, otherwise how can I earn back my capital within three days."

A big man next to him couldn't help but said: "Guild leader, deputy gang leader! But half of the people who came today stayed inside. Are these people really not afraid of death?"

Xu Fangyi snorted coldly and said, "Of course they are afraid of death! Even people in the Jianghu are afraid of death, but they exchange half of their lives for half of the Southern Han Kingdom. None of them who are accustomed to taking risks can resist this temptation."

Li Junhao didn't make a sound, but thought to himself: "Although Lord Hou killed decisively, he was always kind and never killed innocent people indiscriminately. The half of the people who didn't come out may not necessarily die."

Thinking this way, he shouted: "Sixteen, go out now and change the notice, changing 100 taels of silver to 200 taels of silver once."

Ye Chen made the rules of the game, but there are all kinds of people in the world, and people in the world are convinced that people's hearts are unpredictable. Many people believe that this is a trap by Ye Chen.So many people have decided not to act according to the routine set by Ye Chen.

For example, Ye Chen stipulated that they only allowed to enter the maze during the day, but they came to enter the maze at night and in the middle of the night.This is not to save money, but to take advantage of the need.

Tonight the clouds are like ink, but there is no snow.

But the wind was strong, and the grass and trees in the Ye Mansion rustled. After the servants and family members of the Ye Mansion withdrew, it seemed very deserted, and it was even more desolate in the middle of the night.

Five black shadows climbed over the wall and entered, instead of moving forward immediately, they hid first to watch the situation.

"Brother, are we really going to enter the maze at night?" A thin man whispered with some worry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the shoulder, and another man with a beard said, "Fourth! What are you afraid of! That labyrinth is not the Palace of the King of Hades. Why can't you go in?"

The thin man still had his brows deeply furrowed, his face full of worry, and he even let out a long sigh.

"Fourth! There is a reason why I chose to enter the maze at night for my brother. You think that no matter what is in the maze, there must be someone to control it. These people have been working all day during the day and must rest at night! So this maze is very Probably best to pass at night," said the oldest middle-aged man among the four.

But the big man with curly beard couldn't help yelling, and said: "Fourth Jin! It's only been three years since I entered the customs, how can I become so courageous? Back then, when you and my brother lived between the white mountains and black waters outside the Northwest Pass, how many times were we afraid? Who's coming?"

Then his face straightened again, and he said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, you have to know that this time we entered the customs to do a career, to fight for a great glory and wealth for the four of us in the rest of our lives. By the way, let the world Wulin, everyone knows that there is our "Northwest Five Wolves" signboard in the Jianghu, if everyone is as fearful as you, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

This skinny man who was called the "Fourth Golden Brother" still frowned, had a bitter face, and let out a long sigh!Fang was waiting to answer, but another burly man shouted in displeasure: "Okay, don't waste time. Hurry up." While speaking, he had already rushed over.

The other three burly men followed closely behind and also disappeared into the night.

But the expression on the face of the "Jin Lao Si" became even uglier, and he lowered his head for a long time in astonishment. He didn't think that the famous Xiangfuhou who had been passed down to the world would make such a mistake, and he knew that it violated the rules of the game. Those who play often pay a more painful price than those who follow the rules of the game.

Jin Lao Si sighed, his eyes froze, he strode forward, tipped his toes slightly, and rushed into the depths of the mansion.

The gaps between the trees and houses are not very big, but this Jin Lao Si is just the "Rivering Cloud Wolf" who is famous for his lightness kung fu, and he is jumping between the trees and houses at this moment, his body is light and nimble Fast, it is indeed graceful and amazing, far beyond human reach.

After more than 20 breaths, after Jin Laosi's figure rose and fell three times again, his eyes suddenly opened up, and there was an open space in the size of six or seven acres, and in this open space, there stood towers that made Jin Laosi fear and dread. maze.

The other four members of the "Northwest Five Wolves" were getting impatient.

Jin Laosi dashed over and said in a deep voice, "This maze is definitely not within the reach of our brothers, so let's stop!"

But the other four people ignored him, and their eyes were fixed on the maze. Everything about the maze has been rumored by the outside world these days. It is natural for them to take a good look at it when they come for the first time.

The maze wall is made of black iron, and it is as high as three feet. Although the "Five Wolves of the Northwest" are also characters who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, this is the first time they have seen such a strange building.

The middle-aged man stretched his hand into his bosom, took out a pellet from his bosom, slightly bent his middle finger, flicked it lightly, and heard a "clang" when it hit the wall. He couldn't help frowning his thick eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, it's made of refined iron!"

The thick bearded man raised his thick eyebrows, shook his hand suddenly, and said sharply: "Whatever is going on with him, since he is here, he must make a breakthrough." During the words, he buckled and rushed in again. Entrance to the maze.

"Ruyunwolf" Jin Si stomped his feet repeatedly, and said anxiously: "Second brother, why is he still in this temper, alas! Big brother, let's not act rashly!"

That middle-aged burly man was the leader of the most famous group of horse thieves in the Northwest, the "Five Wolves of the Northwest" -- "Golden Face Wolf" Zhuo Dashi. He glanced at Jin Si with some dissatisfaction and said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, the five of us will leave two or three of us inside."

When the voice fell, the other three had already rushed in.

"I'm afraid that instead of leaving two or three people behind, all of them will be left inside." Jin Laosi muttered to himself as he scanned the surrounding night, he had already noticed that there were many people watching in the dark, and he knew that there were more than one people coming tonight The five of them were obviously looking at the results of the five of them breaking through the maze.

The "Five Wolves of the Northwest" never acted alone and always acted together. Although Jin Si was unwilling in every possible way, he finally sighed deeply, gritted his teeth, and followed into the maze.

After ten breaths, five screams sounded at the same time, and then five heads were thrown out of the maze, and dozens of exclamations of joy came from the darkness.Then there was the sound of dozens of people moving away quickly.

According to the rules set by Xiangfu Hou, if you hand over the money and go through the maze during the day, you still have at least half of the way to survive.If you don't follow the rules and run through the maze the rest of the time, you will die.This is the result of the "Five Wolves of the Northwest" who have a reputation for viciousness and whose strength has reached a first-class level.

This result soon spread throughout Kaifeng.

The next morning, 64 people came, and the result was the same as yesterday, only half of them went out.

There is never a shortage of smart people among the heroes of the rivers and lakes, so someone gathered 78 masters of the rivers and lakes in the afternoon.Let's go through the maze together.Among them, there are many people who have already broken through the maze once and come again for the second time.And after they negotiated, eight or nine people formed a team to break through the maze without separating.

It has to be said that their strategy is still quite effective.This maze run lasted three full hours before it ended, but the result was that less than a third of the original people came out, and a dozen or so people were burned to death after climbing the iron wall.It wasn't that Ye Chen wanted to kill, but that so many people broke into the maze at the same time, and many guards' hiding places were forced to be exposed. Ye Chen had no choice but to order the killers to avoid damage to his guards.Just one of the guards of Ye Mansion died.

The setting sun shone on the iron wall in the forest, emitting a black luster, but there was still a dead silence inside the wall, as if nothing had happened.The 27 people who survived seemed to have experienced the most terrifying nightmare, their faces were all pale, and they were terrified to the extreme.

After this large-scale maze entry, no one came to enter the maze for two consecutive days, and the maze of the Xiangfuhou Mansion was also regarded as a half-dead place by the people of Jianghu. Why is it a half-dead place? People, only half of them came out alive.At the same time, among millions of people in Kaifeng, the labyrinth in Xiangfuhou Mansion has become the most mysterious place.

At night, the wind is cold.

In the largest box of Yipin Building, all 58 masters of the rivers and lakes who were lucky enough to get out of the maze were gathered together by a mysterious figure.
