Chapter 358 An Unquiet Night
This is a hidden entrance to an underground passage. Qin Chi didn''t just discover it today. He knew it before and just kept it secret. The appearance just now was actually just pretending.
The guards from Dali Temple took the lead in going down to explore the way.
As expected, the secret passage was discovered.
On that day, the news that the spy was caught reached Yan Jiangnan immediately, "Why was he suddenly caught?"
"While following Qin Qi''an, I was bumped into by a passing Jinyi guard." The person who came back to report said quickly.
Yan Jiangnan put down the book in his hand and asked, "What is the specific situation?"
"Qin Qi''an took the officers from Dali Temple to a house in Jinhai Hutong. That house was our stronghold the year before last. We evacuated it only after it was attacked..."
"Wait a minute! The house in Jinhai Hutong? Why did Qin Qi''an go there suddenly?" Yan Jiangnan looked surprised.
The person reported: "They said they were looking through the files from the year before last and found something suspicious."
Dali Temple was originally the department that reviewed each case. Qin Qi''an discovered that there was something wrong with the case, so he naturally wanted to investigate.
The reason is very good.
Yan Jiangnan wanted to say something else, but suddenly someone came over from outside and reported, "Mr. Yan, it''s bad, Dongcheng was discovered by Dali Temple and Jinyiwei at the entrance of the secret passage in Jinhai Hutong!"
The secret passage in Xicheng was forced to be scrapped.
Some of the evacuated personnel went to Dongcheng District to hide. Especially when the master wants to start an uprising, some people have recently sneaked into the capital and are hiding in the secret passage.
This news caught Yan Jiangnan off guard.
He quickly got up and walked out.
He had just reached the door of his master''s bedroom.
The man guarding the door stopped him.
Before he could speak, someone else hurriedly came to report: "Mr. Yan, it''s bad! Our strongholds in Jinbao Street, Wu''an Hutong and Qin''an Hutong were discovered by the government!"
"Is this true?"
Yan Jiangnan was shocked again.
These things happened one after another, almost at the same time. If no one had arranged it behind the scenes, Yan Jiangnan would not believe it.
He pushed aside the guard guarding the door, stepped forward and knocked **** the lord''s door.
A rapid knock on the door was heard.
A man''s roar came from the door, "Get out!"
"My lord, this is me. I have something urgent to do." Yan Jiangnan responded.
The people inside didn''t curse anymore.
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and a woman with messy clothes and hair appeared. After opening the door with her head lowered, she stepped aside.
Waiting for Yan Jiangnan to enter the house.
The woman lowered her head and walked out, then closed the door.
When Yan Jiangnan entered, he saw a large screen in front of the bed, covering the bed, and the people inside were getting dressed.
The man said: "What''s the emergency?"
"Master, the entrance to the secret passage in Jinhai Hutong has been exposed, and there are three strongholds surrounded by Jinyiwei." Yan Jiangnan finished the matter quickly.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise from the other side of the screen, "It''s Qin Qi''an again! Did he find that we tripped him up?"
"It''s possible."
Yan Jiangnan once again paid attention to this poor family champion. Every time they have bad luck seems to have his shadow?
The person on the other side of the screen said fiercely: "Send someone to get rid of him! I don''t want to see him survive tonight."
Someone took the order and left.
Yan Jiangnan did not stop him, "What about the secret passage in Dongcheng?"
"Wait a little longer and see what happens next." But he just said these words.
Another person came to report hurriedly, "Report to the master, the entrances and exits of various streets in the East City have been blocked by the Jinyi Guards and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division!"
"Not good!" Mr. Yan blurted out in shock.
Catching a turtle in a urn? !
Realizing this, Mr. Yan''s face turned pale.
He has been arrogant for half his life and has been planning for so many years. He thought he could easily win the world, but at the last moment, he made mistakes one after another.
Mr. Yan said solemnly: "Lord! This situation is not right. We may have exposed our whereabouts."
At this moment, the man inside snorted coldly, "Hasn''t it been exposed a long time ago? The other party has already attacked us twice. In the current crisis, as long as the people left behind are not stupid, we should cut off the Jinhai Alley at this time The secret passage, will our people be fine for a while? Think about how to break the situation, maybe sacrifice some of them if necessary."
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, sound in the east and strike in the west."
Mr. Yan made a plan in a flash. Only by muddying the water can he proceed to the next step.
Night falls.
The atmosphere in the capital was extremely tense.
The streets of Dongcheng were deserted.
The shops in the city have already closed their doors and windows, and the lanterns on both sides cast a dim yellow light, reflecting the mottled shadows on the stone road. As the night deepens, a dull drumbeat sounds, announcing the beginning of the curfew.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Qin Chi had already had an affair with Chen Qianhu.
Manpower was mobilized in advance and all street entrances were blocked.
The people in the city were hiding in their homes, and they could often hear the rapid sound of horse hooves and footsteps outside.
The officers and soldiers were wearing battle armor and holding long guns.
Traveling through the streets and alleys.
Their footsteps were more orderly and heavy, which was very different from ordinary people walking. Therefore, just by listening to the sound, the people in the city knew that officers and soldiers were passing by their homes.
The goal is to search for hidden people.
Externally, it is to catch lawbreakers.
Officers and soldiers searched house to house. Every time a door was opened, there was a burst of barking dogs and panicked shouts.
Occasionally there would be sounds of fighting somewhere.
At a street entrance on East Street, there is a checkpoint for entry and exit, and a team of officers and soldiers are guarding here with torches.
Qin Chi and Chen Qianhu stood side by side.
At the entrance of Jinhai Hutong, the personnel searched a section when they entered and encountered two or three mechanisms. After that, the secret passage was interrupted and blocked by a stone door.
Qin Chi had the secret passages extending in all directions in the West City as a reference. He knew that the people behind them reacted in time and sealed the passages. It would take some time to dig through.
"Master Qin, who do you think is behind this? Building these secret passages cannot be done overnight."
The more Chen Qianhu investigated, the more frightened he became.
Qin Chi pulled back and glanced at him, "It''s a force that you and I can''t afford to offend. Do you regret it?"
It was a great achievement, but it also created a big trap. The person behind it now wants to eat them both alive.
"call out!"
A subtle sound breaking through the air suddenly sounded.
"Master, be careful!"
Qin Ba rushed towards Qin Chi fiercely.
Almost at the same time, a ray of cold light passed by Qin Chi and fell to the ground not far away, which was a long arrow.
Lao Huo quickly drew his knife and blocked Qin Chi.
Qin Ba and Lao Li Tou formed a triangular formation almost at the same time, protecting Qin Chi in the middle. The three of them quickly blocked several sneak attack arrows. The opponent''s target was still Qin Chi.
"Protect Mr. Qin!"
Chen Qianhu shouted loudly.
A group of people immediately surrounded Qin Chi. With such a human wall, it would be difficult to kill Qin Chi with a cold arrow.
The next moment, in the night, several killers tried to escape.
Several figures flashed out of the darkness, each chasing the killer.
