Chapter 408 Find the entrance

Zhao Zhenyuan said: "It's not too late to realize that you are wrong. Immediately summon people to surround the racecourse."

"Yes, General." Zhang Jing hurriedly walked out of the stable, took out a cloud-piercing arrow from his arms, pulled the bracelet, and the cloud-piercing arrow flew into the sky. With a "bang", it exploded into a small yellow flower in the sky. This small yellow flower was particularly conspicuous in the dark night sky.

I looked around, luckily all the horses had been sent away so it wasn't too noisy, otherwise the tiny sounds would have been harder to distinguish and even harder to find.

The tiny sounds came from under my feet, and now there were more footsteps. I guessed that the entrance should be around the stable, but I couldn't just dig a hole and crawl in like a mole. I was thinking with my head down, and suddenly I seemed to think of something. I turned my head and asked Zhao Zhenyuan: "Do you have the structural diagram of this martial arts academy?"

Zhao Zhenyuan immediately understood what I meant. It is impossible to build such a large secret room in a short time. In addition to time, it also requires huge manpower and financial resources. Logically, His Majesty, who claims to know everything in the world, must know this. However, Zhao Zhenyuan has studied the structural drawings sent by His Majesty to the Ministry of Works for several days, and he just can't see any secret room. It seems that either someone secretly built a secret room when the Martial Arts Academy was first built; or someone tampered with the structural drawings submitted to the Ministry of Works.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenyuan frowned and said, "There is a structural diagram, but I have studied it for many days and did not find any mark indicating a secret room."

When Zhao Zhenyuan said this, Zhang Jing just walked in. Hearing Zhao Zhenyuan actually say the word "father", he was so scared that he said to me in a choked voice: "You are the young master of General Zhao's family!"

Zhao Zhenyuan always calls himself "father" in front of me, but I don't intend to acknowledge him, so when Zhang Jing asked me, I didn't admit that I was Zhao Zhenyuan's son.

I asked Zhang Jing in return: "When will your troops arrive?"

Zhang Jing said: "I have fired a signal flare. Our people will be here in about an hour."

I nodded and headed toward the back of the stable.

Behind the stable, a huge horse manure pond was built against the mountain.

Horse manure is a good thing. It can be used as fertilizer when ripened, and can be used as fuel when dried.

But now the horse manure pond has been emptied and cleaned, and covered with a layer of tarpaulin, which is covered with a thick layer of snow. It seems that there is no trace of anyone walking around.

But the sound clearly disappeared after reaching the horse manure pond.

I looked at the horse manure pond that was half the size of a football field and taller than me, but I couldn't muster up the courage to jump in.

Although the horse manure in the manure pond had been cleaned up and covered with tarpaulin, the indescribable smell was still there, and it was indeed a bit disgusting to investigate inside.

I don't know whether to say that the person who built the secret room is talented or perverted. He actually built the entrance in a smelly horse manure pond. If it weren't for my excellent hearing, no one would be able to find the entrance.

Zhao Zhenyuan saw me standing by the pond with a look of disgust on my face, so he asked, "Ah Man, is the entrance in this horse manure pond?"

I said, "The sound can no longer be heard here. I guess it is most likely that the entrance is here."

When Zhao Zhenyuan heard this, his face turned serious and he waved his hand, saying, "Two people in a group, a total of ten groups, go down and search, and the rest will guard the exits to prevent anyone from escaping."

As soon as Zhao Zhenyuan finished speaking, twenty people jumped into the horse manure pond.

Looking at Zhao Zhenyuan, who is full of official authority, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this is the advantage of power. If you don't want to jump into the cesspool, there will be plenty of people to help you.

Before I could finish complaining in my mind, someone shouted, "Report to General Zhao, a ring and a wooden door were found here!"

When Zhao Zhenyuan heard this, his expression froze, and he turned to ask Zhang Jing: "How long will it take for our troops to arrive?"

Zhang Jing said anxiously, "It should have arrived, but I don't know why it hasn't arrived yet."

Zhao Zhenyuan's face turned a little pale. He brought less than thirty cavalrymen, plus Zhang Jing's ten men, less than fifty people in total. It was indeed a bit difficult to deal with more than three hundred people.

Zhao Zhenyuan glanced in the direction of the stable and said, "Our reinforcements will not come. Give the order, everyone should be ready for battle. Even if you die in battle, you are not allowed to escape."

Zhang Jing knew that tonight would be another fierce battle. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "All soldiers, listen up and go into battle mode immediately. We will get our money back if we kill one, we will make a profit if we kill two, and we will get a reward if we kill three or more!"

"Yes!" The deafening echo resounded throughout the backyard.

Zhao Zhenyuan said to me, "Ah Man, please leave. It's not safe to stay here."

I glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan and said, "Although you are not a good father, you are a good general. Dayu cannot live without you. If I leave, you will surely die. If I don't leave, you will definitely have a chance of survival."

Zhao Zhenyuan had also heard that I was a man of great fortune in Dayu, and whether it was true or not, he didn't want me to take risks here. Judging from the past, if I died, His Majesty would be furious, and he didn't dare to predict what the consequences would be.

So Zhao Zhenyuan said with a straight face: "Don't worry about your father's affairs. Hurry up and leave. It will be too late. Once that wooden door is opened, your life or death will not be controlled by your father. Your father owes you a lot and doesn't want you to die here at such a young age."

I said impatiently: "Stop talking so much, I won't leave."

After saying that, I jumped down the horse manure pond with the axe in my hand and walked towards the door.

I would rather be stinking to death than listen to Zhao Zhenyuan nagging me about death.

Zhao Zhenyuan was shocked when he saw me walk away angrily, and couldn't help but yell, "Ah Man, be careful."

I ignored Zhao Zhenyuan's shouts and walked to the wooden door that was only half a meter high. The door was located in a corner of the horse manure pond. The color of the wooden door almost blended into the wall. If it was filled with horse manure, you couldn't tell that there was a wooden door here.

I looked at the door hidden in the wooden door, grabbed the ring without saying a word and pulled it hard. I heard a "bang" and the whole wooden door was pulled out by me!

Everyone was stunned by my skill. Although the wooden door was not big, it was very thick and heavy. It took a lot of effort for one person to open it. But I pulled the whole door down. How much strength must have taken to do that?

I threw the wooden door aside and said, "Bring a torch."

Soon someone handed me a torch.

I took the torch and said to Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhang Jing who hurried over to my side, "Stay here and don't move. I'll go in and lure the people out. Kill anyone you see, just like playing whack-a-mole. Don't let any one go."

Zhao Zhenyuan grabbed my hand and said, "Ah Man, I am their commander, and I should be the first to go in. You follow behind Zhang Jing, be obedient, and don't act stubbornly."
