"Impossible!" Chen Shoucai was so stunned that his eyes widened and he almost lost his composure.
It was obvious that the arrows on the ground indicated that someone had broken in here before them.
He thought that the mechanism in the secret room was hidden so secretly and so unexpectedly that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to have thought that the mechanism would be hidden inside a toilet.
So, when he saw the arrows on the ground, he couldn't help but start to panic.
Zhang Yuanshan, who was a few steps behind him, also noticed the arrows on the ground. His face suddenly became solemn and he had a feeling that this was going to be bad.
His face was stern and he asked in a stern voice: "What on earth is going on?" His tone was filled with anger and anxiety.
We must not return empty-handed this time. We must find the money and hand it over to His Majesty.
Otherwise, Chen Shoucai can only wait for his head to fall to the ground!
Zhang Yuanshan's eyes were cold as he stared at Chen Shoucai.
When Chen Shoucai saw Zhang Yuanshan's horrifying look, he quickly adjusted his facial expression and decided to calm Zhang Yuanshan first. In case he was too angry and chopped him with a knife, that would not be worth it.
"Sir Zhang, there is no rush for this matter. Let's keep moving forward. It may be that the mechanism suddenly malfunctioned. After all, these things are done by my subordinates, and I don't pay attention to them all the time. It is common for the mechanism to malfunction. So, don't worry for now, hehe~" Chen Shoucai calmed himself and said with a stiff upper lip.
"Hmph!" Zhang Yuanshan's face was gloomy. He squeezed out this sound from his throat and continued, "It's better to be like this! Otherwise..."
After saying that, he drew the sword from his waist.
Chen Shoucai cursed in his heart: What's so great about having a knife? Humph!
Don't think he is a soft persimmon!
He put on a flattering smile, "Haha, Lord Zhang, let's keep going forward."
After that, Chen Shoucai continued to lead the way. Zhang Yuanshan and a group of Jinyiwei followed him a few steps behind, not too far away.
After walking a short distance, Chen Shoucai found that the mechanism was still intact and there was no sign of intrusion by outsiders.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone that was weighing on his heart fell to the ground quietly.
He thought that the arrows flying all over the ground just now were just the result of the mechanism malfunctioning. So, how could anyone find the mechanism and enter this secret room?
Even if a great immortal came, he might not be able to find it!
Chen Shoucai laughed secretly in his heart.
Chen Shoucai's face suddenly turned cold when he caught a glimpse of the Jinyiwei a few steps behind him.
"Cough, cough, cough~" He covered his chest and pretended to cough. The sound was so loud that it seemed as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Then, he pretended to be dizzy and weakly held onto the wall. Then, he fell forward, falling directly onto the mechanism on the ground.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~”
As soon as they heard the sound, they saw dozens of arrows flying towards them like a gust of wind.
Chen Shoucai was panic-stricken and let out a shrill scream. He quickly rolled forward on the ground, turned sideways, and stuck tightly to the ground and the wall.
"Oh no, there's a hidden weapon attacking!"
“Ding ding ding~”
The Jinyiwei reacted quickly and moved decisively. They drew their swords in an instant and tried their best to block the arrows that were shooting at them like meteors.
They were so focused on pulling their swords out of their scabbards to block the incoming arrows that many torches fell to the ground and went out.
In an instant, the secret passage became darker and not as bright as before.
Chen Shoucai rolled around on the ground, made jokes, and screamed from time to time, so that the Jinyiwei could not suspect him.
Zhang Xiaowen's saber was still in the toilet in the study, and he had no saber in his hand, so it was really difficult to deal with it. He dodged to the side nimbly, and an arrow quickly brushed past his cheek, leaving a narrow wound on his face.
He gritted his teeth and glanced at Chen Shoucai who was rolling on the ground, "Where is the mechanism of the hidden weapon? Hurry and shut it up for me!"
“Ahhhh!!!”
Chen Shoucai let out another shrill scream and narrowly avoided an arrow. "Wow wow wow, I really don't know where the hidden weapon is!
Such minor matters have always been handled by my subordinates. Normally, when I enter this place, my subordinates always accompany me in, so I don’t have to worry about these matters at all. Therefore…”
He didn't finish his words, but the Jinyiwei all understood what he meant.
He gritted his teeth and picked up the knife to continue blocking the flying arrows.
The passage was narrow and there were many people, so it was impossible to use fists and feet to deal with the danger.
After a long time, the arrows gradually stopped.
Just as the Jinyiwei breathed a sigh of relief, two or three barbed nets quickly covered their heads.
"Oh no, there's a big net!"
“Hurry, run!”
By the time they reacted, the sturdy spiked net had already caught them, with only a few Jinyiwei being spared.
Chen Shoucai was well aware of the mechanisms and hidden weapons in the secret room. When the spiked net came down, he pretended to have narrowly escaped.
As the barbed net suddenly fell, a wave of extremely fierce hidden weapons rushed towards them like a storm.
Darts flew like lightning, steel needles shot rapidly, huge clubs flew horizontally, maces danced wildly, rocks fell, spikes popped out suddenly, and all kinds of hidden weapons poured out and attacked the Jinyiwei who were trapped tightly in the spiked net.
However, because they were tightly bound by the barbed nets, the Jinyiwei had no way to avoid the ferocious attacks of these hidden weapons.
Therefore, many Jinyiwei were stabbed like hedgehogs, and their screams and wails were continuous and echoing in the ears.
Chen Shoucai hid in the darkness and smiled triumphantly.
After everything was settled, he pretended to rush forward.
Before that, in order to escape suspicion, he picked up a non-poisoned arrow and stabbed it into his shoulder.
"Sir, sir, are you okay?" Chen Shoucai pretended to be anxious and looked very guilty.
Seeing the Jinyiwei lying on the ground wailing, Chen Shoucai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
You deserve it!
Humph, if he doesn't teach them a lesson, they will always think that he, the leader of the Black Wind Village, is a soft persimmon!
"You useless piece of shit, did you deliberately lead us here?" Zhang Yuanshan said gritting his teeth.
At this moment, he was in great pain. Just now, he was beaten by the mace and almost lost his life.
Chen Shoucai was not trapped by the barbed net, nor was he attacked by these hidden weapons, which made Zhang Yuanshan suspicious.
Chen Shoucai cried out, "Sir, heaven and earth are my witnesses. I never expected that the hidden weapon mechanism in this secret room would be so powerful. If it was really that powerful, I would definitely bring my men in with me."
