Chapter 358 An uneasy night
This is a hidden entrance to the underground passage. Qin Chi didn''t discover it today, he had known it before, but it was just hidden. The way I looked just now was actually pretending.
The servants from Dali Temple took the lead in exploring the way.
A secret passage was discovered by accident.
On that day, the news of the eyeliner being caught was immediately spread to Yan Jiangnan, "Why was it suddenly caught?"
"It was when I was following Qin Qi''an, I was caught by the passerby''s Jinyiwei." The person who came back to report said quickly.
Yan Jiangnan put down the book in his hand, "What''s the specific situation?"
"Qin Qi''an took the servants from Dali Temple to a house in Jinhai Hutong. The house was our stronghold two years ago, and it was evacuated after being attacked..."
"Slow down! The house in Jinhai Hutong? Why did Qin Qi''an suddenly go there?" Yan Jiangnan''s expression was shocked and suspicious.
The man reported: "It was said that he found suspicious things when he flipped through the file from the previous year."
Dali Temple is originally a department that reviews various cases. Qin Qi''an found that there was something wrong with the case, so he naturally had to investigate it.
The reason is very sufficient.
What else Yan Jiangnan wanted to say, suddenly someone came over outside to report, "Mr. Yan, it''s not good. Dongcheng was discovered by Dali Temple and Jinyiwei at the entrance of the secret passage in Jinhai Hutong!"
The secret passages in Xicheng were forced to be scrapped.
Part of the evacuated personnel went to Dongcheng District to hide. Especially when the master is about to raise an uprising, some people have sneaked into the capital one after another and are hiding in the secret passage.
This news caught Yan Jiangnan off guard.
He quickly got up and walked out.
Just walked to his master''s dormitory.
The person guarding outside the door stopped him.
Before he could speak, someone hurriedly reported: "Mr. Yan, it''s not good! Our strongholds in Jinbao Street, Wu''an Hutong and Qin''an Hutong were discovered by the government!"
"You''re serious?"
Yan Jiangnan was shocked again.
This happened one by one, almost at the same time. If no one had arranged it behind the scenes, Yan Jiangnan would not believe it.
He pushed away the guard guard outside the door and stepped forward and knocked **** the lord''s door.
I heard a hurry knock on the door.
A man''s roar came from the door, "Get out!"
"Lord, I am a man, I have something urgent to do." Yan Jiangnan responded.
The people inside did not scold them anymore.
A moment later, the door opened from the inside, and a woman with a bit of messy clothes and hair appeared. After she lowered her head to open the door, she stepped aside.
Wait for the banquet, Jiangnan stepped into the house.
The woman lowered her head and walked out, then closed the door.
When Yan Jiangnan went in, he saw a large screen in front of the bed covering the bed, and the people inside were dressing.
The man said, "What''s the urgent matter?"
"Master, the entrance to the secret passage of Jinhai Hutong has been exposed, and there are three strongholds surrounded by Jinyiwei." Yan Jiangnan quickly finished the matter.
“Bang!”
A loud noise came from the other side of the screen, "It''s Qin Qi''an again! Did he find that we were stumbled on him?"
“It’s possible.”
Yan Jiangnan once again paid attention to this poor top scholar. Every time they are unlucky, it seems that they have a shadow of him?
The person on the other side of the screen said ruthlessly: "Send someone to get rid of him! I don''t want to see him live tonight."
Someone took the order and left.
Yan Jiangnan did not stop it, "What happened to the secret passage in Dongcheng?"
"Wait a little longer and see what''s going on." But he just said this.
Someone came to report again, "Report to my master, the entrances and exits of the streets of Dongcheng have been blocked by the Jinyiwei and the Five City Military Command!"
"Not good!" Mr. Yan was frightened and blurted out.
Catching turtles in a jar? !
Aware of this, Mr. Yan''s face turned pale.
He has been arrogant for half his life and has been in the layout for so many years. He thought he could easily win the world, but he actually came to the last moment, but made mistakes one after another.
Mr. Yan said solemnly: "My lord! This is wrong, we may have exposed our whereabouts."
At this time, the man inside sneered coldly, "Hasn''t it been exposed long ago? The other party has attacked us twice. In the current crisis, as long as the people who stay behind are not stupid, they should cut off the secret passages on Jinhai Hutong at this time. Will our people have something to do in the short term? Think about how to break the deadlock? Some of the people may sacrifice if necessary."
"Transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and attack the east and west."
Mr. Yan made a plan in his mind that he could only move forward with the next step if the water was muddyed.
The night falls.
The atmosphere in the capital was extremely tense.
The streets of Dongcheng are empty.
The shops in the city have already closed their doors and windows, and the lanterns on both sides cast dark yellow light, reflecting the mottled shadows on the stone road. As the night deepened, dull drums sounded, proclaiming the beginning of the curfew.
Qin Chi had already made a brief statement with Chen Qianhu.
The manpower was mobilized in advance and blocked the intersections of each street.
The people in the city hid at home and could often hear the sound of horse hooves and footsteps outside.
The officers and soldiers were wearing armor and holding spears.
Shuttle between the streets and alleys.
Their footsteps were relatively neat and heavy, which was very different from those of ordinary people walking. Therefore, just by listening to the sound, the people in the city knew that there were officers and soldiers passing by their homes.
The goal is to search for hidden people.
Catch illegal people from the outside.
The officers and soldiers searched door by door, and each time they opened a door, it caused a burst of dog barking and panic screams.
Occasionally there will be sounds of fighting in places.
At a street intersection on East Street, there are checkpoints for entry and exit, and a team of officers and soldiers guarding here with torches.
Qin Chi and Chen Qianhu stood side by side.
At the entrance of Jinhai Hutong, when the personnel entered, they searched for a section and encountered two or three agencies. The secret passage was interrupted and blocked by a stone door.
Qin Chi has the secret passages in Xicheng that are well-connected as reference. The people behind him reacted in time and blocked the passage. It would take some time to dig through it.
"Mr. Qin, what force do you think is behind this? Building these secret passages will never happen overnight."
The more Chen Qianhu investigated, the more frightened he became.
Qin Chi pulled his eyes back and glanced at him, "It''s the forces you and I can''t afford to provoke. Do you regret it?"
He made great contributions, but he also made a big mistake. The people behind it now want to swallow them both of them alive.
"Swish!"
A subtle sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.
“Be careful, boy!”
Qin Ba rushed towards Qin Chi.
Almost at the same time, a cold light passed by Qin Chi and landed on the ground not far away. It was a long arrow.
Old Huo quickly drew his sword in front of Qin Chi.
Qin Ba and Lao Li formed a triangular formation almost at the same time, protecting Qin Chi in the middle. The three of them quickly blocked several hidden arrows that were attacking, and the opponent''s target was still Qin Chi.
"Protect Lord 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 if he wanted to shoot a cold arrow.
The next moment, in the night, several killers wanted to escape.
Several figures flashed out in the darkness, chasing the killer separately.
