Chapter 161 The adult that the bandit mentioned is the manipulator behind this!
On the second floor of the palace, Fu Shenxing's face was filled with anxiety and irritability. He paced back and forth in this small space, each step feeling like walking on the edge of a knife, the uneasiness in his heart surging like a tide.
"Where are Tan Zhu and Fei Cheng?" Fu Shenxing's voice was low and powerful, but it could not hide the anger in it.
The subordinate hurriedly reported: "Master Fu, the two of them are nowhere to be seen."
Hearing this, Fu Shenxing was furious and roared, "Well, they dared to desert in the face of danger! Keep firing arrows. No matter what, we must make them hold on. We must not let Mo Liyuan and the others set foot in the palace!"
Before he finished speaking, another of his men came running over in a panic: "Master Fu, please evacuate the tunnel entrance quickly. I'm afraid we can't hold on any longer."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shenxing closed his eyes tightly, as if trying to calm his inner turmoil. After a moment, he slowly opened them, his eyes filled with resentment and helplessness: "Mo Yao, it's all over now. We've been dormant for over twenty years, carefully planning, and in the end, it's all in vain!"
Seeing this, his subordinates hurriedly tried to comfort him, "Master Fu, don't be so pessimistic. We still have the Young Master. As long as we have the green mountains, we will not be afraid of running out of firewood. When the Young Master ascends the throne, it will be the day when we can see the light of day again. We still have people left, and we can lend a hand to the Young Master then. Master Fu, let's go quickly, it will be too late if we don't leave now."
Fu Shenxing clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Give the order, retreat immediately! Let those bandits buy us time while we all evacuate the tunnel."
The subordinates took the order and left, and Fu Shenxing also walked towards the secret room.
Lan Xiyue finally moved her eyes away from Mo Liyuan's face and looked at the arrow with sharp eyes. The arrow seemed to have lost its sharpness and accuracy.
"Huh? Why does the arrow feel weaker? The accuracy is not as good as it used to be." She muttered softly.
At this moment, a steady voice sounded beside my ears: "Yuer, hold me tight."
Mo Liyuan quickly put the soft sword back to his waist, clenched his hands into palms, and released his internal energy, swinging it towards the palace gate like a violent storm.
With a loud bang, the door collapsed and dust flew everywhere.
Mo Liyuan hugged Lan Xiyue and rushed in quickly like lightning.
Lan Xiyue broke free from Mo Liyuan's arms, holding a dagger and with a sharp gaze, she started fighting with the bandits who had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Tian Yi and other secret guards followed closely behind, rushing into the hall like ghosts. Their skills were also extraordinary, and their attacks were ruthless and merciless.
The bandits were so frightened by the powerful group that they had already lost their souls. How could they even think of resisting? They threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"We surrender, don't kill us." A bandit shouted in a trembling voice.
Tian Yi kicked the man in front of him away and shouted angrily, "Weren't you quite capable just now? You were raining arrows down on me. Why are you so scared now?"
"We are just following orders, please spare our lives!" A bandit knelt on the ground, crying.
Lan Xiyue raised an eyebrow, scanning the group with a sharp gaze, and said in a cold voice: "Where is your leader? Who is he? Stand out."
A group of minions looked around and didn't see their second-in-command and third-in-command, and they became even more panicked.
At this time, a clever bandit said: "The second and third bosses are not here, and even the adults have just left."
Lan Xiyue frowned upon hearing this and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a way out from here?"
The bandit trembled upon hearing this and kowtowed quickly, saying, "Yes... yes, lady..."
Tianyi kicked her again, "What female hero? This is our princess!"
The bandit rolled over, steadied himself, and scrambled back to his knees. "Princess, Princess, there's a road leading to the outside world. Normally, we... when we rob passing merchants and civilians, we bring their money in through the tunnel."
"Tunnel? Where is it? Take us there."
The bandit nodded quickly, stood up tremblingly, and led the way.
Mo Liyuan looked at Tian Yi and the others, "The prince and the princess will go, you stay here and watch them."
"master……"
Mo Liyuan waved his hand, interrupting Tianyi's words, then hugged Lan Xiyue and followed the bandit towards the secret room.
After walking for a while, Lan Xiyue looked to the left and asked curiously, "What's going on over there?"
Upon hearing this, the bandit paused involuntarily and looked to the left following Lan Xiyue's guidance.
"Princess, that place is usually guarded by the adults. We are not allowed to get close. If we get close, they will kill us immediately." The bandit made a gesture of wiping his neck, with a hint of fear in his tone.
Seeing her curiosity, Mo Liyuan put his arm around Lan Xiyue's slender waist and walked straight to the left.
Seeing this, the bandits had no choice but to follow.
After walking along the winding passage for about another cup of tea, a heavy stone door suddenly appeared before our eyes.
Mo Liyuan gently let go of Lan Xiyue, his eyes sharp as torches, and slowly covered the stone door with his hands. He mobilized his internal strength and pushed hard. With a "click", the stone door that seemed to be carrying a thousand-pound burden was slowly pushed open by him.
Seeing this, Lan Xiyue hurried forward, and the scene before her instantly made her dumbfounded.
I saw that the space inside this secret room was so vast, and there were a wide variety of weapons.
"This place is so big, there are so many weapons. Huh? There are stairs over there?"
Hearing this, Mo Liyuan looked at her tenderly and said softly, "Yuer, let's go down and take a look."
However, just as they were about to step onto the stairs, the bandit had the idea of escaping. He had just turned and taken a few steps when a fierce internal force struck him like lightning, knocking him to the ground in an instant.
Blood gushed out of his mouth, and after struggling for a few times, he became motionless.
Lan Xiyue naturally noticed this change, but did not look back. She just followed Mo Liyuan down silently.
As they went deeper, the scene on the second floor shocked them again. It was also full of weapons. When they finally reached the first floor, the scene before them made them suddenly realize.
On the first floor, there were mountains of iron ore, blazing furnaces, and several blacksmiths sweating profusely as they forged iron tools.
Lan Xiyue looked at all this and said, "No wonder there are so many weapons on the top two floors. It turns out there's iron ore down there. They're actually forging weapons here. The sir the bandits mentioned is the real manipulator behind all this. Making so many weapons, is he planning a rebellion?"
The blacksmiths stopped what they were doing and asked, "Who are you?"
