Chapter 410 I'll Lead the Way

As the door slowly opened, I finally saw the underground secret room that looked like an underground palace.

This secret room is as big as half a football field, and its interior layout is surprisingly similar to Zheng Xian’s Hall of Supreme Harmony. At first glance, it actually feels like a mini version of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This secret room has a main hall, a dining room, a study, and a circle of dormitories around it. It is decorated in a magnificent and splendid manner. Every piece of furnishing can blind my eyes. And the most shocking thing is that in the middle of the main hall, there is a nine-dragon robe embroidered with gold thread!

My God, how badly does this person want to be an emperor? Even the basement is decorated like the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

That’s not all, he even made a golden dragon robe. If Zheng Xian saw it, how many liters of blood would he have to vomit to calm his anger?

I was so shocked by what I saw that I couldn't recover. The guard next to me said dissatisfiedly, "What are you still standing here for? Don't make General Zhou wait anxiously."

I quickly came to my senses, shook my head, and said, "Yes, I'll go in right away."

Under the guidance of this guard, I came to a mini imperial study, where several people were already reporting on the situation. After the report, they came out one after another.

Finally it was my turn and I was called in. I saw Zhou Wu sitting in front of a mini version of the dragon throne and desk, frowning as he looked at a large stack of information in front of him.

Zhou Wu was tall and mighty, with a darker face than Zhao Zhenyuan and slightly yellowed hair, probably due to years of exposure to wind and sand. He wore a black leather coat, with a bunch of silver skulls hanging on his chest, making him look particularly sinister and scary.

I bowed to Zhou Wu and said hurriedly, "General Zhou, we have to retreat quickly. I just came back from the horse manure pit, and Zhao Zhenyuan has led his troops to open the secret door."

Zhou Wu could hardly understand Dayu Mandarin, so the translator next to him quickly translated my words to him.

Zhou Wu was so frightened that he dropped the paper in his hand onto the table. He stood up and yelled something. I couldn't understand what he said. The translator quickly asked, "Are you serious, General Zhou?"

I nodded continuously and said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. They have already crawled in through that passage."

I knew from Zhou Wu's sending so many people out to investigate that there was definitely more than one passage in the secret room. If they fled in all directions, it would be even more difficult to catch them, so I could only drive them to one passage. Before coming in, I asked Zhang Jing for a flare. As soon as they went out, I would release the flare and Zhao Zhenyuan would bring people to catch them.

As for the passage I crawled in through, it is guarded by Zhang Jing, so I'm sure he can catch a few fish that slipped through the net.

Zhou Wu picked up the big knife on the table and shouted again. The translator also shouted: "Quick, quick, escort General Zhou out."

As soon as the translator finished speaking, dozens of people rushed in, surrounded Zhou Wu, and walked out of the secret room in a mighty manner.

I quickly followed him and shouted, "Don't be afraid, General Zhou. I'm here to protect you!"

But the guards didn't let me get close to Zhou Wu. They pushed me away and cursed in Xihe Mandarin.

I guess these people are the guards Zhou Wu brought from Xihe State.

I couldn't get close to Zhou Wu, so I had to follow them out in a hurry.

At this time, many people came out from each dormitory. Most of them spoke Dayu Mandarin. They were still sleeping soundly, with sleepy eyes. When they were called out, they were still tying clothes with squinting eyes.

I was sandwiched in the middle, with Zhou Wu and his Xihe guards in front of me, and people from Dayu behind me. I didn't know whose soldiers these were, but I guessed they were from Grand Tutor Gui, because apart from him, no one else had the courage to make a dragon robe privately.

With so many people gathered together, I suddenly felt my brain was lacking oxygen, and I was pushed forward by everyone while feeling dizzy.

When we arrived at the door of the secret room, the team suddenly stopped. I hurriedly stood on tiptoe and saw the person walking in front reached out and groped on the wall next to the door. He seemed to have touched something. He pressed hard, and a small piece of the khaki wall actually dented. Then there was a sound like a train passing by. After a series of "bang bang" sounds, the khaki wall actually slowly opened backwards, revealing a passage that could accommodate one or two people!

After the entrance was revealed, Zhou Wu strode in, and his guards followed him in. I naturally followed closely behind them, but when I went in, the people behind me were stopped by the guards of Xihe Kingdom, who told them to escape through another passage to distract the enemy's attention.

The people of Xihe Country are so cunning. I was secretly glad that I had taken a few steps earlier, otherwise I would have been stopped.

This passage is relatively wide and spacious, and you don't have to bend down or lower your head to walk through it.

With so many fewer people behind me, I no longer felt short of oxygen, and my breathing instantly became much smoother.

Those who were stopped were just some small fry. If Zhou Wu was caught, it would definitely be a great achievement for Dayu!

I was thinking happily like this when suddenly someone picked me up and threw me in front of Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu yelled something and I stared at him blankly, not understanding a word he said.

Finally, the translator came up to me and said unhappily, "General Zhou asked you to scout the way ahead."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard that. I thought I had caught up with them by chance, but it turned out that they deliberately left me behind to lead the way.

I have no idea where this passage leads to, so I can only take it one step at a time.

I pretended to be scared and said, "Yes, sir."

After saying that, I pulled out the axe behind me and pretended to be cautious as I walked in front to lead the way.

Zhou Wu was so anxious that he was furious, but he didn't want to rush me. In case there was really an ambush, if I walked slowly, I might have a chance to escape.

So dozens of them followed me from a distance of two or three meters, afraid that if something went wrong they could escape in time.

They had ulterior motives, and so did I. When exploring the way, I pretended to be sneaky to delay time, hoping that Zhao Zhenyuan could summon his cavalry to come to our support.

This passage was not difficult to walk through, but it took me more than ten minutes to reach the exit.

This exit is even more hidden than the horse manure pit, it’s actually a well!

This is a well that is still in use, but the exit of the secret room is dug in the middle of the well.

There was white smoke coming out of the water at the bottom of the well, and heavy snow like goose feathers was floating above the well, which melted as soon as anything fell into the well.

I stuck my head out and took a look. I saw that there was a row of upper and lower frames made of iron rods on the wall of the well. So without saying a word, I put the small axe back on my back, reached out my hand, grabbed the iron frame and climbed out.
