Chapter 280: Cave entrance, ambush
As time passes, another day comes.
After a night's rest, Yang Dong and others had recovered most of their energy and blood.
Fortunately, Lin Yi and others never cast suspicious eyes in the direction of the inn.
This was not just because Yang Dong and the others were lucky, there was also a very important reason, which was that Lin Yi didn't know that there was a secret passage in the inn.
From the perspective of ordinary people, escaping into an inn without a secret passage is no different than seeking death.
Yang Dong also accidentally discovered this secret passage buried underground by chance. Speaking of which, I have to thank the power of the detonator, otherwise even he would never be able to discover the existence of the secret passage.
After everyone had a simple breakfast, Zhu Qing, wearing a bamboo hat, slowly walked out of the entrance of the secret passage. There were still bursts of moisture on his trouser legs and cuffs.
When he saw Yang Dong, he first cupped his hands, and then said with a serious face:
"Mr. Yang, I have just explored the secret tunnel. This tunnel is very deep, and the situation below is complicated. It is hard to imagine that such a large-scale mountain tunnel can be found in this wilderness."
He sighed with a regretful look on his face.
"It's just a pity that many places have suffered serious landslides. Because of this, only 30% of the entire secret tunnel can be walked at most. But even the remaining 30% of the tunnel can still help us escape from this Green hills.”
Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present couldn't help but light up.
Although it is relatively safe in the inn for the time being, no one can tell when Lin Yi and others will take a whim and explore the inn. Therefore, they were somewhat vigilant when they went to bed last night.
Even Yao Jia clenched the small dagger in her hand tightly at all times, not daring to relax at all. Only Wan Yanyue, Princess Houjin, seemed not to be worried at all, leaning on Yang Dong's shoulder and sleeping soundly.
Regarding this, Yang Dong could only smile helplessly.
"Now that we have found a way out, let's set off immediately without further delay!"
Yang Dong gave the order, and everyone immediately moved quickly.
Because of their escape last night, they had no choice but to abandon the carriage. Therefore, most goods have to be carried by manpower.
Fortunately, Tieniu, a natural strongman, was able to carry less than half of the cargo on his own.
Just as they were about to clean up and go deep into the secret passage, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"Damn it, it's very possible that we were tricked by that eunuch! The brothers searched for the whole night. It can be said that they searched all the surrounding mountains. But they couldn't find any trace of Yang Dong and his group."
"How can so many living people disappear under our noses? So I think they might want to hide under the light and hide in the inn!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Yang Dong and the others could not help but darken.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi's calm and somewhat sinister voice was heard:
"I only want the result, not the process. Since you think the eunuch is hiding in the inn, then let's do a quick search."
"If anyone can find their traces, there will be a lot of rewards."
I have to say that Lin Yi is a very qualified subordinate. Even when he was next to himself, the relationship between him and Lin Chunqiu was never exposed.
On the other side, when Yang Dong and others heard that they were coming in to investigate, they immediately took the time to pack their luggage.
Fortunately, they were already in a state of escaping at any time yesterday, so they didn't have to prepare anything deliberately and waste too much time.
Seeing that everyone had finished cleaning up, Yang Dong lowered his voice and asked everyone to go into the secret passage together.
Everyone else was very cooperative, but Zhuyu, the girl, walked coquettishly at the end, playing with a steel pipe in her hand, her eyes full of eagerness to try.
"Mr. Yang, why don't we give them a big gift?"
"I've recently gained some new insights into the art of explosion."
When Yang Dong heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse. But the next second, he realized what the problem was.
They lived in the inn all night, and even if everyone was very careful, they still inevitably left some clues.
Given the professionalism of those on the other side, it shouldn't be difficult to find these clues.
If this is the case, then they will definitely catch up with their group along the secret passage.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation.
It's not that he doesn't want to use a detonator, but because the rest of their journey is in a secret passage. What if the detonator is too powerful and the secret passage collapses?
By then, these people will be completely out of control, and they will not even have the qualifications to ask for help.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong stared at Zhu Yu seriously and asked:
"Are you confident that you can only blow up the entrance of the secret passage without affecting the structure of the entire secret passage?"
Hearing this question, Zhuyu frowned subconsciously.
At this moment, she also understood what Yang Dong was worried about. So she almost subconsciously bent down and directly used her fingers to write and draw a lot of formulas on the ground.
After a moment, she raised her head confidently and said:
"Mr. Yang, I am 70% sure that the explosion will not damage the interior of the secret passage."
"Okay, then you arrange it."
Yang Dong nodded immediately, no longer hesitated, and directly helped Zhu Yu arrange it together.
In just one cup of tea, Yang Dong and his party had already penetrated deep into the secret passage. At the same moment, the door of the inn was kicked open with a "bang".
The next moment, Lin Yi almost flashed past and appeared at the place where Yang Dong and his party were resting just now.
Although it could be seen that Yang Dong and the others had cleaned up the traces very carefully, Lin Yi noticed something fishy at a glance.
"Damn it, this eunuch is so bold!"
"Come here, investigate immediately where they are hiding!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his men in black immediately dispersed.
Although the entrance to the secret passage is relatively hidden, it cannot withstand serious exploration.
In just one stick of incense, a man in black reported to Lin Yi that they had found a secret passage with no known exit.
And judging from the traces at the scene, Yang Dong and his party should have escaped from here.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Yi's eyes immediately turned murderous.
"Send a few people to go deep into the secret passage to investigate!"
"They have something that can explode in their hands, brothers, please be careful!"
As soon as he finished this sentence, a deafening rumbling sound suddenly came from not far away.
Some people died, but not completely...
