Chapter 236: Mechanism?

The door is not locked?

Wang Ye was slightly stunned when he saw the wooden door in front of him was pushed open a crack.

The gate in front of me was not locked, but slightly ajar.

No one answered the door...

Could it be that Tang Baichuan had already run away? Thinking of this, Wang Ye raised his voice and said, "Master, the door is not locked, so I came in?"

As he spoke, he pressed his palm and pushed gently.

squeak!

With a slight sound, the half-closed courtyard door was instantly pushed open by Wang Ye.

In an instant, the situation in the courtyard appeared before Wang Ye's eyes.

The huge courtyard was extremely quiet, and the house was pitch black without any light.

Obviously, Tang Baichuan is not here.

"Come out, everyone!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wang Ye said, "There is no one in this yard!"

Crash!

As soon as these words were spoken, the detective, Aji and others behind him followed immediately.

After seeing the dark and cold courtyard in front of them, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"No, Captain Zhao, can you do it?"

At this time, Aji looked at Captain Zhao beside him and said, "It's pitch dark here. There's not even a ghost in sight, let alone Tang Baichuan!"

"I saw Tang Baichuan enter this courtyard with my own eyes!?"

As they spoke, Captain Zhao was also completely confused.

I followed Tang Baichuan all the way here, but how come there is no trace of him now?

"Tang Baichuan is a skilled martial artist and extremely cautious..."

At this time, the detective at the side pinched his chin and said, "Captain Zhao, you must have accidentally exposed your identity, which made Tang Baichuan aware of it, so he took advantage of the opportunity when you were looking for me... Who?!"

Halfway through his words, the detective seemed to have noticed something.

But he saw him pointing his sword at a big tree not far away.

Suddenly, a green energy broke through the air and headed straight towards the big tree.

Crash!

The moment this powerful energy hit the big tree, a large number of branches and leaves fell down instantly.

At the same time, a black shadow suddenly leaped up and quickly flew away into the distance.

"Tang Baichuan!"

Seeing the black shadow, the detective exclaimed.

At the same time, he leaped up and chased after him at an extremely fast speed.

"Master Shenpo, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing this scene, Aji did not hesitate at all. He used his Qinggong to jump high up, and at a very fast speed, he chased towards Tang Baichuan together with the detective.

"Aji, don't go..."

Seeing Aji flying after him, Wang Ye shouted hurriedly.

But before he could finish his words, Aji disappeared from his sight.

"Okay, Manager Wang..."

Seeing this scene, Captain Zhao on the side said: "Brother Aji is chivalrous and kind-hearted. This is a good thing..."

"Anyway, Tang Baichuan has already left. We might as well take advantage of this opportunity to search this place and see if Tang Baichuan has left anything behind."

"Well, that makes sense!"

After hearing what Captain Zhao said, Wang Ye said, "It was agreed that all of Tang Baichuan's belongings belong to me. He escaped in a hurry this time, so he must have left a lot behind..."

"I want to see what treasures there are!"

Having said that, Wang Ye walked straight towards the room in the yard.

"Manager Wang, be careful!"

Wang Ye hadn't taken two steps when Captain Zhao grabbed him and said, "This Tang Baichuan is a traitor of the Tang Sect. He also secretly learned the Tang Sect's secret manual, the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, and is extremely proficient in the art of mechanical devices. If there are any mechanical devices in the room, wouldn't it be a waste of life if we rush in like this!?"

Captain Zhao is a captain after all, so he is naturally more cautious than ordinary people.

“That makes sense!”

Hearing this, Wang Ye nodded and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

“Hehehe!”

Seeing Wang Ye asking questions, Captain Zhao puffed out his chest, revealing a hint of confidence: "As for this mechanical art, I, Old Zhao, have also studied it. It's nothing more than springs, brackets, tripwires, and so on..."

"Tang Baichuan left in a hurry. There's no way he could have guessed the ingenious mechanism of a spring or a mechanism. It must be a tripwire!"

"And most of these tripwires are connected to hidden weapons such as crossbows. If we push the door rashly, a large number of crossbow arrows laced with poison will surely fly out and kill the people who enter the door!"

Captain Zhao spoke very clearly and logically.

“That makes sense!”

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After hearing what Captain Zhao said, Wang Ye nodded: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Simple!"

As soon as Wang Ye said this, Captain Zhao's face showed a hint of pride: "Although this tripwire mechanism is dangerous, it is also very simple..."

"As long as we observe carefully and find the tripwire of the mechanism, we can avoid his mechanism!"

"Sure, Lao Zhao!"

After hearing Captain Zhao's analysis, Wang Ye said, "I didn't expect that you are usually so carefree, but you are so low-key that you don't show it until a beggar is on the list of Jinshi!"

“That’s it!”

After hearing what Wang Ye said, Captain Zhao said, "Don't look at me as a captain. I also have ideals and ambitions. I also like to read books and study them. I learned this mechanical art from books!"

"Come on, Shopkeeper Wang, follow me. We will be absolutely safe this time!"

As he spoke, Captain Zhao strode towards the room.

Seeing this, Wang Ye smiled slightly and followed.

When he arrived at the door, Captain Zhao first looked at it carefully, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Humph, it's just as I expected!"

Standing in front of the door, Captain Zhao raised the corner of his mouth, smiled evilly, and said, "It is indeed a tripwire!"

As he spoke, he pointed lightly.

I saw a silk thread as thin as a hair connecting to the door. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find it at all.

Seeing this, Wang Ye's heart moved.

The mechanism in front of me always reveals a hint of weirdness.

"Ah, I thought you had some brilliant tricks, but I didn't expect you to use such a childish trick to deal with me."

"It seems that Tang Baichuan's methods are just this..."

As he spoke, Captain Zhao drew out the steel knife from his waist: "I am so disappointed!"

As he spoke, Captain Zhao suddenly swung his knife and cut at the silk thread.

With a slight sound , the thread broke.

Bang, bang, bang! Just as the thread broke, a series of muffled sounds were heard.

The sound sounded like that of an arrow shot from a bow, sharp, dull and murderous.

Crash!

Just when Wang Ye was feeling something was wrong, he saw several crossbow arrows flying out from an unexpected place, fiercely bombarding Captain Zhao !

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye grabbed Captain Zhao's clothes and fell backwards.

Immediately, Captain Zhao and Wang Ye fell to the ground together.

At the moment when the two men fell to the ground, the crossbow arrows hit the place where Captain Zhao had just stood.

The arrowhead is deeply embedded in the bluestone slab, which shows how powerful the force was.

First update, there are four more to go. I'm going to lie down for a while, and I'll update the second update later. I'll also post a group number for everyone to play together, 791073507 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
