Chapter 110 The familiar man in black, we meet again
Thanks to the general’s order, Xiangying was imprisoned in the dungeon.
The dungeon is located in the west of the city, very close to the twenty granaries.
Xiangying ran at the same speed as when he raced against zombies in the apocalypse.
At this time, twenty granaries stood at the foot of the hillside, and the torches of the guarding soldiers made the night as bright as day.
Xiangying took out the gunpowder that he had prepared long ago, placed it under one of the granaries and lit it.
With a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere.
The guards shouted:
"Come and help, someone is attacking the granary!"
Taking advantage of their panic, Xiangying ran to the first granary, pried the lock swiftly, and pushed the door open.
All you can see are piles of sandbags. Cut open one of them and you'll see the white rice flour.
These grains were originally supposed to be provided as supplies to the generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty to help them resist the Nanyue army.
However, just because of the selfish desires of Governor Zhao, the goods were stored here for many days.
Xiangying didn't hesitate and reached out to touch the rows of rice and flour bags.
The mountain of rice that was as high as a small hill just now disappeared in less than a minute.
When all the rice bags were emptied, the anti-theft rope at the bottom was exposed.
At the same time, there was a whistling sound of wind overhead.
Xiangying's body reacted faster than his brain and he dodged to the side.
He watched helplessly as a huge rock fell from the beam and hit the place where he had just stepped.
Xiangying was shocked. She had never seen such anti-theft methods before.
After some investigation, they saw two pieces of rope pressed under the bag of rice.
Once a grain thief takes out the food, he will fall into the trap due to carelessness.
Just like a mousetrap, your ankles will be instantly caught and you will be pulled into the air.
Xiangying looked up at the beam, and sure enough, there was a huge rock hanging from the end of the rope tied to it.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for thieves to discover such traps hidden under the food.
Even if you see it, you will just think it is an inconspicuous piece of rope. Little do you know that as long as you step on it, the rocks above will fall down and you will be pulled up.
Moreover, even if they avoided the ropes on the ground, once all the food was moved away, the huge rocks above their heads would fall down because there was no force holding them down.
It's either death or injury, and it's difficult to escape.
Xiangying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she relied on the function of the space to search and did not actually step on it.
After all, it is a large granary for several states. In addition to human guards, there are also mechanisms to prevent theft.
She had to be careful.
Xiangying left the granary and headed straight for the remaining ones.
Her goal is to empty all the granaries.
But she had just exploded one, and there were still nineteen left, and she didn't have time to take them all away.
Xiangying could only speed up his actions, thinking that if he couldn't take anything away, he could just take as much as he could and throw it on the road in the city.
I would rather benefit the people than let these officials get away with it.
With the experience just now, she became much more skilled, and by the time the stone fell, she had already left the granary.
By the time Xiangying looted the twelfth one, the fire caused by the gunpowder explosion was completely extinguished.
However, she then discovered that the lock of the twelfth granary was broken.
She narrowed her eyes.
Could it be that someone arrived early?
Xiangying pushed the door open and saw a man in black inside, with his back to her, struggling.
Viewed from the side, his left and right hands were caught by the anti-grain theft rope, and were being pulled into the air little by little as the ends of the rope fell.
The more he struggled, the tighter the entanglement became, especially when the rope was wrapped around his arm, and he couldn't even reach it with his knife to cut it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of soldiers outside the door shouting for help.
"Oh no! There's a thief! The granary has been robbed. Quickly notify the general!"
"Check every warehouse one by one to see if there are any thieves left!"
The man in black in front of Xiangying also heard the noise of them coming, so he struggled even more violently.
But the rope was tied tightly around his wrists, and the boulder was falling bit by bit.
When the boulder falls completely to the ground, the man in black will be suspended in the air and will never be able to come down.
He will definitely be discovered by those soldiers.
Xiangying didn’t have time to save people, she closed her eyes and saw the countdown for invisibility.
【16:57:50】
Looking at the stopwatch counting frantically, she knew she was running out of time.
Xiangying was about to leave, but at this moment, he saw the side profile of the struggling man in black.
That familiar thin iron mask was exactly what Xiangying bought and gave to Jie Chen.
Xiangying was startled, then looked back and took a closer look.
This figure... is Jie Chen? !
The footsteps of the soldiers were almost outside the door, and they were about to push the door open!
Xiangying gritted his teeth, pulled out a knife from the space, and neatly cut the rope that bound the man in black's hands.
The moment the man in black landed on the ground, he nimbly climbed up onto the beam.
He looked back and met the eyes of the invisible Xiangying, but he obviously couldn't see her. He just glanced at the granary with some confusion, and then quickly ran along the tiles pushed away from the beams.
Seeing him leave, Xiangying suppressed his confusion and hurried out.
She brushed past the incoming soldiers, and thanks to her invisibility, they didn't see her.
Xiangying ran to a deserted place, brought out a horse, and rode away at full speed.
Only when she was almost near the cell did she stop and take the horse back.
In the last few seconds of the 20-minute countdown, Xiangying rushed back to the cell.
She huddled under the straw, gasping for breath, her forehead covered in sweat.
Almost at the same time, the guarding soldiers came over to observe Xiangying's situation.
He had come several times just now and found "Xiangying" curled up under the straw to rest, motionless, without even a snoring sound.
Hearing that this woman was very restless, the soldiers felt a little strange.
Xiangying heard the sound of soldiers unlocking the chains, as if they were about to come in to confirm whether she was really asleep.
Damn it!
Because she came back in such a hurry, the chain on her wrist had not been put back in place yet.
If a soldier came over, he would definitely see it.
The sound of the soldiers coming in almost quickened Xiangying's heartbeat.
Her phoenix eyes were dark and sharp.
When the time comes to take action, Xiangying will not hesitate.
Suddenly, a fellow soldier came running over: "The granary has been stolen, the general wants to send more people to search, come quickly!"
The soldier was startled, responded, then quickly walked out and locked the prison door again.
As soon as he left, Xiangying breathed a sigh of relief and put the bracelet and anklet back on.
While there was chaos outside, she leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and entered the space.
Although not all the granaries were emptied just now, the rice and flour that were moved in have completely filled up the newly opened ninth and tenth floors.
There is no room left to put anything else in.
Xiangying decided to share some with the little ones. Twenty little ones should have a lot to eat.
On the computer screen, these little people temporarily settled down in one place and lived there.
Judging from the way they talked, it seemed like they were preparing to recruit soldiers.
Xiangying decisively used the screen to feed twenty bags of rice and flour over.
Looking at the food falling from the sky, the twenty little men kowtowed coolly.
He was shouting something, but Xiangying couldn't understand it.
After freeing up some space, she went to the tenth floor to see what the new conditions were for unlocking the higher floors.
Unexpectedly, she was shocked when she saw it.
