Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 508 Breakthrough
The sky is overcast and cloudy, and thunder is rolling in the distance.

The gate of the ancient castle was closed, and more than a dozen black-robed warriors were waiting in the courtyard holding long swords.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering horn sound outside the castle, and the black-robed warriors were startled and looked out.

It was too late to say it, and then it was fast, accompanied by a loud bang, the gate of the ancient castle rose into the sky and fell into the courtyard. Under the leadership of Li Yuanfang, the imperial guards rushed into the castle like a tiger on the mountain. The defenseless black-robed warrior Shocked, he drew his sword to fight, and the sound of killing shook the sky in an instant in the silent castle.

Li Yuanfang led Zhang Huan and Li Lang's Qianniu Weiyong to be unstoppable. In an instant, several black-robed warriors were dead on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest retreated into the castle hall while resisting.

Surrounded by the guards, Di Renjie, Zeng Tai and Wei'er rushed into the castle, and ran towards the hall through the fiercely fighting crowd.

There was chaos in the hall, and the imperial guards fought desperately with the black-robed warrior guarding the fort.

Fierce fighting upstairs and downstairs can be seen everywhere, and the castle is filled with hoarse shouts.

The three of Di Renjie rushed into the hall, and Zhang Huan rushed forward panting: "My lord, I didn't see any trace of the Wang brothers and Fang Zhe!"

Di Renjie waved his hand resolutely: "Zhang Huan, immediately lead someone to follow me into the underground hall!"

Turn around and run to the second floor.

Wei'er next to him cut down a black-robed warrior and shouted loudly: "My lord, you can enter from here!"

As he said that, he rushed to the wall with a stride, pressed the mechanism on the wall, and the secret door on the wall popped up, and Di Renjie led his people into the secret passage.

Completely different from the fierce fighting upstairs, it was quiet in the underground hall.

Di Renjie, Zeng Tai, Wei'er, and Zhang Huan led the imperial guards to enter through the secret door. Looking at the silent and empty underground hall, they were at a loss for what to do.

Wei'er was surprised and said: "My lord, there is no one here."

Di Renjie didn't speak, but looked around.

Zeng Tai said: "Where are the Wang brothers and Fang Zhe, will they escape?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "They must still be here. Besides, the three of them gathered people to go out of the city at night, and they went to the castle not just to have a look, they must have a deep meaning in their trip."

Zeng Tai said: "There must be a deep meaning? Teacher, what do you mean..."

Di Renjie waved his hand lightly, standing in the center of the basement hall and thinking quietly, the scenes that had happened in the basement hall of the ancient castle flashed before his eyes one by one: when he first arrived in the castle, he, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang found the dark secret in the guest room. The door sneaked into the secret passage.

Hundreds of carts loaded with pay were parked in the underground hall. A few days ago, he and Zeng Tai led the soldiers of the city defense battalion to search the underground hall. They found the news room and opened the secret door to the northwest.

In the wide underground passage, the ruts on the ground made of solid soil extend to the depth of the underground passage. At the end of the underground passage, you reach the "Valley of Death".

"Death Valley, ruts... Why do ruts disappear for no reason? Why do they drive hundreds of large vehicles into a dead end? What's the mystery here..."

Di Renjie muttered to himself.

Zeng Tai and Wei'er looked at each other. Wei'er was about to speak, but Zeng Tai stopped him with his eyes.

Di Renjie took a deep breath, raised his head and thought quietly, he seemed to see a faint light in the fog in front of him, but he couldn't capture it accurately.

He shook his head slowly, looking at the ground inadvertently.

The ground is made of limestone.

ground……

Di Renjie raised his head, with a smile on his face, he let out a long breath and said, "So that's how it is."

Zeng Tai at the side said softly: "Men, what did you think of?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "You can't say it now!"

Zeng Tai was stunned, and looked at Wei'er puzzled.

Di Renjie waved at Zeng Tai, walked quickly to the wall and said, "Do you still remember how we opened the secret door of the general news room when we led the army to clear the castle last time?"

Zeng Tai nodded: "I remember."

Di Renjie said, "Open the secret door."

Zeng Tai nodded, and the two came to the wall and found the pattern of a lion and a giant python. They pressed them at the same time, and a secret door popped up on the wall with a "bang".

Di Renjie said, "Bring a torch."

Zhang Huan took the torch from a guard and handed it over.

Di Renjie took the torch and walked into the dark room alone, carefully checking every switch.

The purpose of the mechanism was written on each trigger. Suddenly, the words on a cast iron trigger in the corner caught Di Renjie's attention.

There are two words written on that unremarkable switch: "Ground."

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face, and he pulled the trigger and pulled it back forcefully.

There was a loud bang outside, followed by the exclamations of Zeng Tai, Wei Er and others.

Di Renjie walked out of the dark room quickly, and saw that the blue-gray stone floor of the basement slowly cracked from the center and parted to the two sides, revealing a big dark hole below.

The three of Di Renjie looked at each other, and Zeng Tai said in surprise, "Well, what's going on here?"

Wei'er was also surprised and said: "I have lived in the castle for so long, and I never knew that the floor of the underground hall can be opened."

Di Renjie shouted: "Zhang Huan, order the troops to get ready!"

Zhang Huan agreed, and all the soldiers drew their bows and knives out of their sheaths, ready to go.

The cracked ground stopped moving.

Silence, strange silence.

With a loud noise from the black hole, the most unexpected thing finally happened: Another layer of ground carrying hundreds of carts rose up from the black hole at a fast speed.

In the middle of the silver car, the Wang brothers, Fang Zhe and a dozen or so black-robed warriors looked around in panic.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, so that there was silence in the underground hall.

Suddenly, Di Renjie yelled: "Catch the traitor and get back the money!"

The dumbfounded imperial guards just woke up like a dream, and rushed towards the black-robed warriors led by Wang Kai with a shout. Suddenly, there were killing sounds in the underground hall, and the shadows of swords and knives flashed.

Di Renjie shouted loudly: "Yuan Fang, capture the thief first, capture the king first, capture the Wang brothers and Fang Zhe alive!"

Li Yuanfang agreed loudly, and led Qianniuwei to rush forward.

Wang Kai, Fang Zhe, and Wang Qiang swung their weapons and resisted desperately. In a blink of an eye, several guards fell to the ground.

The steel knife in Li Yuanfang's hand kept waving, and Wang Kai and others who had been killed in a blink of an eye retreated again and again.

In an instant, the Wang brothers and Fang Zhe were surrounded by dangers. At this moment, several men in black robes shouted and rushed into the battle group, and dragged Li Yuanfang desperately. The remaining two men in black clothes protected the three of them. Retreat to the northeast corner.

The three of Wang Kai and the left branch were in a panic.

At this time, they had retreated to the corner of the east wall, seeing that there was no way to retreat.

Wang Qiang flashed her long sword, forcing back Zhang Huan who was attacking fiercely, turned around and pressed on the wall, a secret door popped up, Wang Qiang shouted: "Brother, Brother Fang, enter the secret passage!"

Saying that, the three of them fought with all their strength, forced Qian Niuwei back, turned around and rushed into the secret passage.

Li Yuanfang killed those desperate men in black in the blink of an eye. Seeing Wang Qiang and others retreat, he immediately shouted: "Chasing!"

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, a white smoke burst out from the dark passage, and came straight towards Li Yuanfang and the guards.

Di Renjie exclaimed: "Poison gas, get down quickly and cover your mouth and nose!"

Li Yuanfang and all the guards didn't have time to think about it, they quickly prostrated themselves on the ground and covered their mouths and noses.

The white smoke slowly dispersed.

Li Yuanfang jumped up and shouted: "Don't let them run away, chase after me!"
