Chapter 57 Breaking News!!
Regarding the fishy red and tofu-like white pulp that hits my face.
Zeng Anmin is an eighth-rank warrior with the strength of a seventh-rank warrior, so he can dodge it.
In order to avoid being exposed, he forced himself to control his body's conditioned reflex and was splashed all over.
"What's going on..."
Zeng Anmin ignored the filth on his body and went forward to check the old man's body.
Blood was oozing out of his neck.
Lying on the ground motionless.
Brain matter, blood, and hair were splattered all over the place.
"Anti-peep lock."
The old man slowly came to Zeng Anmin's side, squinted his eyes and looked at the corpse on the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"A sixth-rank Confucian Taoist uses the azure energy to lock the Purple Palace. If someone suppresses it with the power of the spirit, it will explode in the Purple Palace. This is to prevent anyone from questioning their conscience."
"But doing so also loses the Confucian ability to question one's conscience."
The small room became a classroom for the father to teach his son.
Zeng Anmin nodded thoughtfully, then slowly looked towards the bookshelf in the room:
"He just said three words, moved the book away..."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be moving the bookshelf?"
As soon as his voice came out.
Everyone headed towards the tall and thin bookshelf that was not even as thick as a person's waist.
The bookshelf is very narrow, less than half a foot wide when viewed from the side.
With this width, even if there is a secret passage underneath, it is impossible for an adult male to get in.
Therefore, everyone who came in just flipped through the bookshelf roughly without thinking deeply about it.
The old man looked at the short bookshelf with a gloomy face, then looked at Lin Rong with an expressionless face:
"Move aside."
He was the only martial artist at the scene, so naturally the job fell on him.
"promise."
Lin Rong didn't waste any words. He took the order respectfully and headed towards the bookshelf.
Zeng Anmin and his father's movements were surprisingly consistent.
Both of them took a few steps back without making a sound, hiding behind Lin Rong.
He looked at Lin Rong with bated breath.
Lin Rong naturally didn't notice this little action. At this time, his rough hands had already climbed onto the bookshelf, and then he lifted it up with force.
The bookshelf was moved away very easily.
The brand new ground was exposed, without any abnormality.
"Nothing unusual."
Lin Rong looked up at Zeng Anmin and his father blankly.
"Where's the floor? Knock and see if it's hollow or solid." Zeng Anmin reminded.
Lin Rong quickly did as he was told. He squatted down and knocked the ground with his hand. His index finger and the floor made a firm, dull "dong dong dong" sound.
Solid.
Lin Rongxiang looked up and met Zeng Anmin's gaze.
"wrong."
Zeng Anmin saw this and his voice was calm:
"If you need to move a bookshelf, he'll go underground and close the floor so there's no way to move the bookshelf back, so you should knock on the ground around it."
detail! !
Lin Rong's eyes lit up and he reacted instantly.
It’s not that he is stupid, he just thinks about the problem according to normal thinking logic, not as eccentric as Zeng Anmin.
Lin Rong immediately reached out and knocked on the blue brick floor around him.
"Knock knock knock~" That's not right.
He changed places again.
"Dong Dong~" Not right.
Change again!
"Bang..." As soon as the fingers touched the ground, the sound became extremely hollow and high-pitched.
Lin Rong's eyes gleamed brightly.
"Bang bang bang!!" The sound of fingers hitting the blue bricks was very clear.
“Knock it open!!”
Zeng Anmin's almond-shaped eyes were fixed on the hollow floor, and his voice rose.
Lin Rong instantly activated the martial arts energy in his body, clenched his palm into a fist, squatted on the ground, and raised it high.
“Bang!!”
The fist collided with the floor with a very crisp sound.
“Crack.”
The floor broke and several pieces of rubble fell down.
A small hole appeared in front of them.
“There really is something fishy going on!!”
Zeng Anmin took two steps at a time and came behind Lin Rong, squinting his eyes and staring at the black hole that was not even as big as a baby's head.
"It's just this hole..."
Too small.
There is no way a normal adult can get in there!!
Dad's voice sounded faintly:
"It could be a bone-shrinking pill... or it could be a special martial art... either one can shrink the body."
"Chase!!!"
Zeng Anmin suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on his father:
"Don't worry about the reason. What we need to do now is to stop Prince Jiang from leaving this secret passage. The secret passage is narrow and he can't run fast. We must catch up to him before he leaves! If he escapes, we will be in big trouble!"
This is a very insightful statement.
"Someone come! Dig!!"
Without any hesitation, the old man turned around and shouted at the man in red clothes outside.
There is no better way to shrink your body now.
If a normal person wants to enter this hole, he must enlarge the entrance.
"yes!!"
In a moment, twenty or so men in red clothes came in and started digging the small hole with shovels.
The small hole gradually grew bigger.
Finally, when digging to the critical point, the soil above collapsed.
"boom!"
A big hole was revealed.
This big hole is just big enough to accommodate an adult's body.
"Chase!!!"
Zeng Anmin saw the big hole, a dangerous light flashed on his face, and he said sternly:
"quick!!"
Lin Rong didn't waste any words. He immediately took a knife from the waist of the man in red clothes beside him and headed into the cave.
But the hole was barely big enough for the body, so how could it run fast?!
Several men in red clothes also followed, and the team slowly explored the deep secret passage.
Zeng Anmin was about to follow the crowd when he heard a report.
"Master Zeng! Commander Wang... he... he died in prison!!"
A hurried voice came from outside. The person was as flustered as a frightened bird and spoke incoherently.
"What?!!"
When the old man heard this, he was immediately shocked and angry. He stared at the servant who came in to report:
"Wang Deli?! Dead?!"
Boom!!
This news is a bombshell!
Zeng Anmin was stunned.
Wang Deli, the commander of the Xuanjing Division in Liangjiang County, was the best warrior in Liangjiang County and a participant in the Lianxi Realm...
Dead? ! !
It’s Wang Deli, who is in the same business as my dad!
I just met his Wang Deli!
"How did he die?"
The old man stared at the clerk in front of him and asked word by word.
"I don't know. I just heard a loud noise in the prison. When we rushed over, Commander Wang was already dead..."
The man looked at his father tremblingly, his lips trembling slightly.
A dignified fourth-rank military officer in the imperial court died just like that...
Zeng Anmin felt that his brain was not enough.
Wang Deli was imprisoned because he failed to guard Prince Jiang and his father ordered him to be locked up in a rage.
From the time my father came here from the Mirror Department until now.
But it was less than half an hour.
Who could kill him? !
"I'll go back to the Xuanjing Division. I'll leave this place to you."
The old man looked at Zeng Anmin in a deep voice and said, "If Prince Jiang escapes, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"I see."
Zeng Anmin nodded seriously and watched his father walk away.
