The Ministry of Works did have a few thin clerks, but they had already exhausted their strength and were simply unable to hold up the heavy wooden board.

"I'll go down." Jing Yi stepped forward without hesitation.

He is seventeen years old, and his figure is thinner and taller than that of an adult man.

In order to minimize friction and collision with the wooden board, Jing Yi took off his robe, his inner clothes... and was left wearing only a pair of trousers.

His ears turned slightly red and he didn't dare to look at Su Xiaoxiao.

Wei Ting took a rope and handed him the other end of the rope.

"I'll hold you, and you go down."

Jing Yi nodded and did not refuse Wei Ting.

Since no wood here could bear the force and the ground could not withstand the vibration of his bounce, he could only lower himself down little by little using the rope.

It was pitch black down there.

He followed Su Ergou's breathing and found his location.

Su Ergou was bleeding. He smelled a strong smell of blood and reached out his hand to touch the sticky bloodstains.

His movements became more cautious.

He found a suitable place to stay.

Next, he only needed to lift up the wooden board and put the rope on it, and Su Ergou would be saved.

The wooden board was much heavier than everyone imagined because it was nailed with iron nails and iron plates underneath, which were completely invisible from above.

At this time, Jing Yi was glad that he had come down. If it were the people from the Ministry of Industry, they would not be able to move it even if they had not used up all their strength.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt beside him and looked down: "Jingyi, be careful of Ergou's trachea, it's stretched to its limit."

"good."

Jing Yi pushed the end of the wooden board with one hand to prevent it from continuing to press on Su Ergou's chin, and with the other hand, he lifted the board up little by little.

Finally, the weight on Su Ergou's chest disappeared.

He got the breath he had longed for.

"Jingyi, what happened?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Jing Yi replied: "The board has been lifted up. Er Gou seems to be bleeding. We need to get up there as soon as possible."

Wei Ting said, "Put the rope on the board."

Jing Yi nodded.

Even though the people above couldn't see it at all.

The space below was very narrow, and Su Ergou could not be crushed, so his range of motion was limited, and the requirement for strength was greater.

Fortunately, his strength and martial arts skills were genuine, and he successfully put the looped rope on the wooden board.

"Okay!" he said to Wei Ting.

Wei Ting tightened the rope.

The most dangerous piece of wood has been fixed, and the wooden boards and bamboo poles above it can be moved away.

The people from the Ministry of Works continued to move the goods.

Su Xiaoxiao found a rope and prepared to go down.

She wanted to check Su Ergou's condition, whether he had any fractures or other injuries that prevented him from moving, and then decide how to get Su Ergou up.

Wei Ting frowned and said, "This doesn't look like an ordinary foundation. Ordinary foundations are not this deep. You should be careful."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

She tied the rope tightly around her waist and asked someone from the Ministry of Works for an oil lamp.

Wei Ting already had a rope in his hand, and no one from the Ministry of Works had a hand free, so he couldn't just rely on the weak Young Master Zhang.

"Give it to me." Xiao Chonghua walked over, stretched out his hand, and motioned Su Xiaoxiao to hand him the other end of the rope.

"Fusu."

Wei Ting gave an order.

The secret guard flashed out.

The corner of Xiao Chonghua's mouth twitched.

The secret guard grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's rope and let her down little by little.

He approached Wei Ting and whispered, "Master, is it really okay to expose me like this?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "Grab your rope."

Dark Guard: “Oh.”

Young Master, you really don't give Xiao Chonghua any chance to show his abilities.

Su Xiaoxiao drilled through the gaps between the wood again and again, feeling extremely lucky that she had lost weight. Otherwise, if she was still that 200-pound little fat girl, she would never have been able to drill through.

"Be careful."

When she landed, Jing Yi helped her up.

Although the wooden board was hung, Jing Yi still held it with one hand for the sake of caution.

"I'm fine." Su Xiaoxiao said.

There was a long vertical groove behind Jing Yi, and he took a step back.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt down in front of Su Ergou and put the oil lamp beside her.

She touched Su Ergou's forehead: "Ergou, can you hear me?"

Su Ergou hummed weakly.

His chin was broken and swollen from being pressed against the wooden board for too long.

Because he couldn't swallow for a long time, he drooled a lot.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief and wiped him clean carefully.

He was injured on the back of his head. Su Xiaoxiao first tore off the sleeve of her inner shirt to bandage it for him, and then went back to suture it.

In addition, because the chest cavity was compressed for too long, although no fractures occurred, large areas of contusions occurred.

There were also several scratches on the legs.

He maintained this posture for too long and his body became stiff. Once he recovered a little, he could be hoisted up with a rope.

Su Ergou looked at his sister weakly, his eyes turning red.

Su Xiaoxiao held his hand and stroked his forehead again and again: "It's okay, I'm here."

Su Ergou continued to look at her.

Su Xiaoxiao understood: "Brother-in-law is here too."

Su Ergou's forehead moved slightly and pressed against his sister's palm, feeling at ease like a child waiting for redemption.

Jing Yi looked at the siblings the whole time without saying a word.

The wood has been removed almost completely.

Next came the heaviest and thickest wooden board that Jing Yi was holding.

Wei Ting began to pull the wooden board. Su Xiaoxiao untied the rope around her waist, took off her outer robe, wrapped the rope around it, and tied it around Su Ergou.

Everything was going very smoothly, but at this moment, something strange happened.

Suddenly, a group of masked men in black holding swords appeared from all directions, and without saying a word, they started slashing at everyone at the scene.

The first person to be hit was a minor official from the Ministry of Works. He and his colleagues had just worked together to pull up a broken beam when he injured his shoulder, causing him to lose strength and the beam in his hands slip.

Boom! The beam hit the wooden board hanging on Su Ergou heavily!

Su Xiaoxiao rushed over and protected Su Ergou with her body.

The board did not fall.

Wei Ting held on tightly!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Two arrows flew through the air, aiming at Wei Ting's heart and the rope in his hand.

Wei Ting stomped his foot and a piece of wood flew into his hand.

He bent his fingertips and the wood piece split into two. He waved his hand and shot the wood piece out. The two arrows were hit and deviated from their directions.

Fusu, who was standing by, was also attacked by a hidden arrow, so he had to put Su Ergou down first.

Su Mo said to Wei Ting: "There are archers in the woods, I will go and take care of them!"

Su Qi said: "Brother! I'll go with you!"

Jing Yi looked up and said, "Wei Ting, I can handle it, let go!"

Wei Ting took a deep look at Jing Yi in the pit and loosened the rope.

Bai Ze and Hong Luan appear.

"Young Marquis!"

Jing Yi's shoulder was bleeding from being pressed by the wooden board. He said to the two of them, "Don't worry about me! Protect my cousin!"

This was a tough fight. The other side had a large number of people and each of them was well-trained. It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary killers.

If it were just Wei Ting and a few other experts, it would not be difficult to break out, but there were so many people from the Ministry of Works present, and none of them knew martial arts.

Someone approached the foundation, grabbed a stone, and smashed it down.

The wooden board was hit hard, Jing Yi felt a pain in his chest, and a fishy and sweet taste rose to his throat.

He steadied himself and did not move.

The man threw several more stones and was about to throw the torch down, but was kicked away by Wei Ting!

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao noticed something was wrong.

The floor beneath my feet... is cracking! The angle of this wooden board is a bit tricky, with one end resting on a wooden stake next to Qin Yun, and the other end resting on Jing Yi's neck.

The place where Jing Yi was standing happened to be a vertical groove.

The wooden board cannot be moved left or right, it can only be moved up and down. Going upwards is impossible because there are still a lot of wood that has not been moved away.

It is even more impossible to go down, because Su Ergou and Su Xiaoxiao are right below.

The cracks in the floor became more and more serious, except for the small area where Jing Yi was standing, it was difficult for him to stand there.

No one knows what dangers lie ahead.

Jing Yi made a prompt decision: "You and Er Gou come onto the board!"

"no!"

The wooden board was already very heavy, and with the addition of her and Su Ergou, not to mention whether Jing Yi could carry it or not, if he wasn't careful, the ground under Jing Yi's feet would crack.

Jing Yi said sternly: "If you two fall down, I will jump down too. My internal strength is very strong, I can handle it, you guys come up!"

Crack! The crack reached under Su Ergou, and the ground collapsed with a bang.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed Su Ergou with her other hand and grabbed the wooden board.

The two of them were just hanging in the air.

Good morning.
