Chapter 302: Taking Advantage of the Situation
The deck under Xie Yingmian's feet was hollow.
The moment she landed on the deck.
The deck suddenly split in the middle, and a dark space appeared underfoot.
It was too late for Xie Yingmian to leave.
There was suddenly nothing under her feet, and before she could even make a sound, she had already fallen below the deck.
The moment she fell, the deck closed with a few soft clicks, and the bottom of the deck became solid.
Xie Yingmian didn't fall for long.
But in the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, she subconsciously curled up her body and protected her head when she started falling, so she did not faint on the spot.
Based on the time she had fallen, she was currently about ten meters below the deck.
There are lakes all around here, she should be at the bottom of the lake.
To be exact, it is in the secret room at the bottom of the lake.
The men in black deliberately forced her onto the deck.
As soon as she stepped onto the deck, she was caught.
The impact of falling severely impacted her internal organs. Her life was not in danger for the time being, but she was not in much better condition either. Her arms and legs were in so much pain that she could hardly move.
The cramped space was filled with an unpleasant smell.
It smelled like rotten fish that had been fermenting for a long time.
Xie Yingmian could tell that the smell of rotten fish was mixed with a hint of medicine.
The smell of the medicine can make people dizzy.
Just breathe and you will inhale.
If you inhale enough, you will fall into a coma.
Xie Yingmian held his breath as hard as he could.
While holding her breath, she struggled to take out a pill and put it in her mouth.
After taking the pill, the feeling of dizziness and headache was relieved a lot.
Her body was in pain all over and she couldn't move for a while, so she simply took advantage of the situation, closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious, waiting for the murderer to arrive.
The other side.
The fight in the pavilion in the middle of the lake continues.
There are too many enemies, and they are extremely vicious and their every move is life-threatening.
The people fighting did not dare to be distracted, nor could they spare the energy to support Xie Yingmian.
Yu Lingye was also trapped.
He looked very unhappy.
The man in black was obviously coming for Xie Yingmian.
This is a game.
First, Xie Yingmian gambled on football and lost every time.
If you lose too much and lose every time, a normal person will feel bad if he keeps losing money.
Coincidentally, there is a Lihua Temple nearby.
When people are experiencing bad luck, the first thing they think of is praying to gods and Buddhas to change their fortunes.
When they arrived at Lihua Temple, a Taoist nun came to invite them to eat vegetarian noodles.
As soon as they entered the pavilion in the middle of the lake, they fell into the net.
The trap doesn't look very clever.
Precisely because they were not smart, they let down their guard.
The more Yu Lingye thought about it, the darker his face became.
He had already blew the whistle when the man in black appeared.
It took about a cup of tea for the nearest Royal Guards to arrive here.
He had never felt that a cup of tea took so long.
After brewing a cup of tea, the Royal Guards finally arrived.
After the Royal Guards arrived, the men in black were no longer interested in fighting.
They all jumped into the lake.
Some of the Royal Guards went to hunt down the deserters, while some stayed behind to clean up and examine the bodies.
Fu Mo and others were seriously injured.
"Your Highness." Fu Mo was stabbed in the shoulder. He clutched the bleeding wound, his face as pale as paper. "It seems the princess is missing."
Yu Lingye's eyes were dark.
He has discovered it.
The men in black retreated, but Xie Yingmian disappeared.
Missing along with Xie Yingmian was Qing Huang.
Qinghuang is dressed as a maid and would not disappear for no reason. His purpose of coming to visit the Spring Festival is to protect Xie Yingmian.
Therefore, it is more likely that Qing Huang and Xie Yingmian are together.
"Don't worry." Yu Lingye tried to remain calm. "Go check the identity of the man in black."
The man in black had no markings on him.
Black is also the most common and common fabric.
Their martial arts styles are also very unfamiliar.
Nothing can be found out just from the dead man in black.
As for those men in black who escaped, the Royal Guards did not catch any of them alive.
Even if they caught the person alive, the man in black would immediately commit suicide by taking poison.
Yu Lingye tapped the wheelchair armrest lightly with his fingers.
The purpose of so many men in black coming out should be to disperse them, trap them, and take the opportunity to kidnap Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian is not the kind of person who allows himself to be bullied.
She was full of poison, and it would be difficult to abduct her without any harm.
Unless—she accidentally fell into a trap!
"Go find it," Yu Lingye said, "There must be a trap in this pavilion in the middle of the lake."
"Focus on finding the place where Xie Yingmian is trapped."
Soon, Zang Yue found the deck.
"Your Highness, there's something wrong with this deck," Zang Yue said.
She lifted the deck.
Below deck, it looks like just ordinary wooden planks.
"What's wrong?" Fu Mo asked.
Yu Lingye said in a deep voice, "There's a crack in the deck, and the pear blossoms nearby are blowing in the wind, and the petals are all over the ground."
"Normally, there should be a lot of petals below the deck."
Zang Yue nodded: "Your Highness is right."
"There were only a few petals on the wood planks below the deck, and the color of the wood planks was wrong."
"I suspect there might be a secret passage underneath."
"Smash it." Yu Lingye ordered.
After the wooden board was smashed open, a pitch-black hole was indeed seen.
There was a faint smell of rotten fish.
Zang Yue jumped down first.
After a while, Zang Yue came back again.
Cang Yue said, "Your Highness, there is only one cave down there, and it's filled with a lot of smelly salted fish. It looks like a place to store salted fish."
"The princess is not inside, and I haven't found any trace of a mechanism."
Yu Lingye prepared to go down and take a look in person.
"Your Highness, you can't do that." Di Jia stopped him, "It's dangerous down there. I'd better go explore again."
Yu Lingye had no hope for Dijia.
Zang Yue is the most considerate among these people.
Cang Yue couldn't find the problem, and Dijia and the others couldn't find it either.
The small pavilion in the middle of the lake is not very big.
There weren't many places where Xie Yingmian could move.
There was a 90% chance that this deck was the trap she fell into.
The passage in the hole under the deck must have been covered by some sleight of hand.
Being able to use sleight of hand to cover up the passage must be a sophisticated mechanical device.
It just so happened that he had some knowledge of mechanical engineering.
The entrance to the cave is not small and can accommodate Yu Lingye's wheelchair.
Yu Lingye checked it over.
Sure enough, he discovered the hidden mechanism in the cave.
I tried several times, but the mechanism was too complicated to open.
"Tianjia, go to Prince Ling's Mansion as quickly as possible and find Yanqing."
"yes."
Tianjia took the order and left.
"Zangsong, go get the map of Lihua Garden."
"yes."
"Cang Yue, go and interrogate the Taoist nun in Lihua Temple."
"yes."
"What about me?" Fu Mo pointed at himself.
Yu Lingye looked at Fu Mo's pale face and stained clothes: "Go get treatment first."
The news that Yu Lingye and his group were assassinated spread quickly.
After hearing this, Xiao Lingxi was shocked and hurried to Lihua Temple.
Lihua Temple has been completely surrounded.
As soon as she approached, she was blocked by the Royal Guards.
"Your Highness Prince Ling!" Xiao Lingxi saw Yu Lingye from afar and waved and shouted.
"Let her come over." Yu Lingye said.
