Then there was only a "bang" sound, and the entire ground of the small courtyard collapsed along the crack.
Due to the extremely fast speed and large area of the collapse, Jin Qing had a bad intuition and took a few steps to climb up to the old locust tree in the center of the yard.
Halfway through the climb, Jin Qing felt as if he had stepped on something with a spring.
Feeling that his feet were soft, Jin Qing frowned and stepped hard, only to hear a few clicking sounds of gears, and then the sound of rushing water.
Jin Qing: "..." What's going on.
Then, before Jin Qing could react, he saw a cloud of hot air suddenly rising from the dusty ground.
Then, a group of people dressed in black with the special mark of the Zhenguo Palace on their backs hurried out from below like a group of ants exploding in a pot. Judging from the posture, there should be more than two hundred people...
These densely packed men in black were beating the fire on themselves while quickly jumping out of the ground to escape.
Jin Qing could even hear the roars coming from underground, those who didn't come and escaped being burned by the flames.
It seems that there is more than one underground level in this desolate yard, and those who just ran out should be the group of people closest to the ground.
It is estimated that without Jin Qing's whip just now, none of these people might have been able to escape.
Jin Qing scratched the back of his head: Did she get into trouble?
What just flowed down from the tree was kerosene. This stuff burned very fast and was very viscous. It was extremely difficult to put out as long as it stuck to the body.
These marked men in black were more or less stained with kerosene. At this time, they had no time to take care of Jin Qing. They just put out the fire and fled to a safe place quickly.
Jin Qing hugged Shu tightly and looked at these people in confusion: these people gave her a feeling very similar to the people who chased Long Chengbo twice before.
As the heat got heavier and heavier, Jin Qing could already see the fire coming out of the ground, and the entire yard was like a red-hot pot. Jin Qing felt that the big tree he was holding was getting hot.
Jin Qing picked up the bark of the tree in confusion, why didn't the tree catch fire?
Who would have thought that when he grabbed it, the touch on his hand made Jin Qing surprised to find that the tree was actually fake. However, its manufacturing process was so ingenious that even the branches and leaves were made lifelike, unlike the real tree. Not the slightest difference.
707 also secretly lamented: There is only such a tree with a mechanism in the yard, and its host can step on it. Its host is really unlucky. Fortunately, these are murderous secret guards, otherwise This time they committed a crime.
Jin Qing: "..." Wouldn't it be nice if this tree grew in the middle of the yard?
The tree Jin Qing hugged was indeed equipped with a mechanism.
The Duke's Mansion has four underground floors, like a huge underground palace. It is a place specially used by Zhen Guogong to train secret guards.
And that tree is the destruction device of the underground palace. Once the mechanism is triggered, the entire underground palace will burn, destroying everything, and completely burying the secrets of the Duke's Mansion.
Unless there is a key or strong pressure, there is no way to activate this mechanism.
The key is kept in the hands of the Duke of Zhen. Without strong pressure from the outside world, it would be impossible to activate the mechanism.
Therefore, all the previous dynasties of Zhen Guo Gong used this courtyard as a forbidden area of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion, and tamed the secret guards underground in the capital city with peace of mind.
But Zhen Guogong ignored unexpected factors like Jin Qing.
In a four-story palace, the more missions and heavy-killing secret guards there are, the closer they live below. This prevents them from being in contact with the outside world for a long time, and their minds become more active.
Therefore, as soon as night falls, the passages between each floor of the underground palace will be closed to ensure that no secret guards inside will defect secretly under the cover of night.
Who would have thought that Jin Qing would almost get him this time.
Due to the collapse of the ground, the fire that was supposed to be burning underground has spread into the yard, and the wailing sounds underground have completely disappeared.
For a moment, the temperature in the courtyard was strangely permeable. The voices of people rose and disappeared, but the air was filled with the sound of burning flames.
The firelight soaring into the sky lit up the backyard of the Duke's Mansion red.
When the servants on night duty in the mansion noticed the fire, they immediately shouted: "It's gone!"
Hearing people running towards the Duke's Mansion one after another, Jin Qing quickly ran to the top of the tree, jumped to the roof of the house next to her, and then quickly fled back to her yard: Don't look for her. , she has been sleeping and knows nothing.
The commotion at the Zhenguo Palace was so loud that it alarmed many people living nearby.
In addition to high-ranking officials, the people living nearby are the homes of noble dukes and princes.
Naturally, they also saw the flames soaring into the sky and the men in black rushing out from the yard.
One of the middle-aged officials who had just visited the palace happened to see this scene. He was stunned and stared at the man in black flying out of the Zhenguo Palace. He trembled and said to himself: "I have raised such a child." There are so many private soldiers, this is going to..." Before he could say the word "rebellion", someone suddenly appeared behind him and covered his mouth and dragged him into the darkness.
The official turned around and found that the person covering his mouth turned out to be his immediate superior, Mr. Chen from Yushitai.
Seeing his boss approaching, the official quickly bowed to Mr. Chen, but Mr. Chen held him back and made a silent expression on him.
After that, neither of the two people were talking, but looked at the fire that could not be extinguished no matter what in the Duke Zhenguo's mansion.
Under the reflection of distant firelight. Mr. Chen's face flickered between bright and dark, and he said to the official after a long while: "Go back and prepare for tomorrow's announcement." The Zhenguo Duke's mansion was ashamed of the emperor's favor and kept a large number of secret guards in the capital. He must be there. Lord Jinluan said nicely.
After the official bowed deeply to Master Chen, he turned around and left in a hurry: Your Excellency is right, this is the responsibility of the censors.
So, while the Zhenguo Duke's office was still busy putting out the fire, a piece of information about them had been handed to the emperor's desk.
In the town government palace.
The Duke of Laozhen was knocked off the wall by Jin Qing and fell seriously. He broke two ribs and was ordered by the imperial doctor not to get out of bed and move around.
The Duke Zhen Guo who was hit by him was more seriously injured than him, and he is still recovering in the room.
Although he is a military general who holds the power of the world's military, the Duke of Laozhen is not very broad-minded.
At this time, Lao Zhenguo was lying on the bed trying to get his luck, and he planned to let his men kill all the chickens and dogs in Dingguo Houfu after he recovered.
I think he and his son have won the emperor's trust throughout their military life. In this capital, he has always been the one to suppress others, and he has never been so angry.
