Asking Xie Xun to prepare paper and pen, Wen Qinsang relied on his memory to write down the floor plan of the underground Colosseum, then handed it to Chen Anning and asked her if she wanted to add anything.
Chen Anning shook his head.
Wen Qinsang handed the picture to Xie Xun again.
After Xie Xun made a few strokes, he returned the picture to him.
Wen Qinsang picked up the pen again, drew three circles in the 'Hundred Orchards', and then drew a circle in each of the other three 'Orchards' before looking at Xie Xun inquiringly.
Xie Xun said: "It's the same one."
After Wen Qinsang drew a circle on the place he had added earlier, he lowered his eyes and thought deeply for a moment, and then drew two more circles on the six iron gates leading to the main courtyard.
Afterwards, he kept drawing eighteen triangles on the main courtyard behind the iron gate.
"Are these the nine entrances and eighteen exits of the Underground Colosseum?" Chen Anning asked.
Wen Qinsang put down his pen, nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Chen Anning looked at him, then at Xie Xun, looking at the heavy expressions on both of their faces, and asked tentatively: "Is there something wrong with the entrance and exit?"
Wen Qinsang gestured to her to look at the floor plan, "Look carefully at the distribution of entrances and exits."
Chen Anning took the floor plan, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said: "Seven of the nine entrances are located in the 'orchard', and the other two are located in the maze. Eighteen exits, all distributed... …”
"A maze?" Wen Qinsang sighed in surprise and understanding, then asked Xie Xun, "Did you read that correctly? It's really a maze?"
Xie Xun's voice was a little deep, "It's a maze."
"No wonder." After Wen Qinsang sighed again, he and Xie Xun looked at the zoo between the orchard and the Colosseum.
Chen Anning followed the gazes of the two people and looked at the zoo. After a moment, he slowly said: "If there is no one to guide the way, it will be almost difficult for our people to break through the maze. In other words, these two entrances are basically impossible. Used. But the other seven entrances..."
"Guanshi Kang and others are familiar with the entrances to the two mazes, and the underground Colosseum is also guarded all year round. When attacked, they can basically get rid of the human sea tactic as long as they release all the beasts."
No matter which 'orchard' it is, the iron cages are arranged densely and chaotically.
After the Yulin Army enters, it is bound to be divided along with the iron cage.
Whether it was what we saw tonight or what we heard from the masked servants in black, once those beasts are released from their cages, their attack power is extremely powerful.
Even if the Yulin Army can kill them after being diverted, it will inevitably pay a heavy price.
In addition, we need to save people...
"This is the second best thing." Wen Qinsang sighed again, "Since there is a maze, it means there are countless secret passages hidden that we cannot spy on. Through these secret passages, they have countless ways to attack us. Just take the simplest For a fire attack, in such an underground place with poor ventilation, it can be said to be highly efficient and absolutely lethal."
"Judging from my observations at Hepingfang that afternoon, using fire attacks to deal with unexpected situations is very likely to happen."
Xie Xun looked at Chen Anning, "Your poison..."
"No." Before he could finish speaking, Chen Anning objected. "If you want to use a certain poison on a large area, the external force you must rely on is wind, and the underground Colosseum lacks wind the most."
"Besides, the doctor named Jiang whom I met today has very good medical skills."
"Since they have even thought of the fire attack in advance, then they must have prepared antidote pills a long time ago."
Seeing the increasingly sullen expressions on the two people's faces, Chen Anning changed the subject and added: "Although we can't use poison on a large scale, we can take advantage of the opportunity to select the beasts and poison the beasts one by one. Therefore, we need to solve the problem now. The only thing that can be done is a fire attack."
Wen Qinsang asked Xie Xun, "What are the conditions of the eighteen exits?"
Xie Xun's eyes suddenly brightened.
He stood up, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and replied: "Those eighteen exits are also part of the maze!"
Not allowing Chen Anning and Wen Qinsang to change their faces, he suddenly looked at Chen Anning with a smile and said, "Did you just say that using poison on a large area requires the help of wind?"
Although Chen Anning didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, he still nodded cooperatively and said, "Not bad."
"To use poison on a large area, you need to use the wind," Xie Xun's lips curled up slightly, "So if you want to use fire attacks, do you have to do it in a confined space?"
Chen Anning nodded again.
Xie Xun looked at her, then at Wen Qinsang, and said calmly and firmly: "I have carefully observed the section of the maze from the Colosseum to the main courtyard. They were all dug out of the original soil layer. The forks in the road.”
"If you want to be unaffected by the maze and allow air to circulate to break the fire attack, you only need to destroy the maze."
"And it's much easier to destroy the maze."
Wen Qinsang said: "Trebuchet."
"Absolutely." Xie Xun said, "As long as you dig some of the exit passages first and roll the stones down, you can destroy most of the maze. Once the maze is broken and the soil accumulates, you can only enter and exit through it. The seven passages of the 'Orchard'."
"The method is good," Chen Anning reminded, "but don't forget, those boys and girls were locked in iron cages, with dirt blocking the exits and forcing the other party to no longer attack with fire. There is no guarantee that they will not be destroyed together. Kill these boys and girls to vent their anger."
Wen Qinsang nodded, "It's impossible to completely destroy the maze. As long as some people hide in the secret passages and shoot these boys and girls, I'm afraid..."
Xie Xun said decisively: "So you must move quickly!"
"When we enter the underground Colosseum at night, the secret guards will use the poison you prepared to kill all the animals on the ground first. After that, they will quickly enter the underground Colosseum through the entrance and disperse in various 'orchards'. When the operation to destroy the maze begins, the Habayashi Army will quickly enter the underground Colosseum through the entrance."
"No one can guarantee that it will be foolproof. We can only do our best to rescue and capture."
Chen Anning's heart suddenly felt tight, and she thought again of the girls who brought tea and fruit snacks tonight.
They did nothing wrong.
Just because of various unexpected circumstances, they were unable to take action tonight, so they had to pay a heavy price for it.
"If you want to destroy the underground Colosseum and rescue the imprisoned boys and girls," Xie Xun comforted, "there is no way to avoid the necessary sacrifices."
Chen Anning said with difficulty: "I know."
Just know and know.
Emotionally and ethically, she couldn't accept it calmly.
"It's almost dawn," Xie Xun glanced at the pink-white sky outside the slightly opened window and urged, "Go and have a rest. Only by keeping your spirits up can you avoid more sacrifices."
Chen Anning also took a look outside the window, then turned and went to the guest room next door.
Xie Xun stayed and discussed the layout of the underground Colosseum with Wen Qinsang for nearly half an hour. Then he detailed the night's actions in more detail and set the time after Hai hour before walking out.
After pausing at the door, he walked slowly to the door of her room, listened to the movement inside for a moment, then left the Laifu Inn and secretly returned to Dali Temple.
After Xu Zan and Wen Baolin, who had already rushed back, learned about their activities last night and explained to them tonight's actions, they secretly entered the palace again.
