Chapter 442 Of course, to catch a thief, you must first catch the turtle!
Qi Hanzhou tied the safety rope around his waist, grabbed the pulley on the zipline with one hand, and pushed lightly with his feet.
With a whoosh.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole person slid to the other side along the inclined steel cable.
Even though he knew the exquisiteness of the zipline in advance, Qi Hanzhou was still surprised when he used it himself.
If this zipline could be used on the battlefield, siege would become very easy.
Maybe it wouldn't be so difficult for my father and brothers to fight.
Wei Lin and the others were also shocked.
"The general flew over in a flash?"
"Yeah, I didn't even notice it just now, but the general has already arrived on the other side. This thing is too powerful!"
"Look at who came up with this idea! It was Seventh Master! Every drawing drawn by Seventh Master is something powerful that the Five Nations have never heard of!" As Yun Fu's first little fan, Xuanji Zhang's voice was full of pride.
He also came to join in the fun today, mainly because he wanted to see how the zipline he built himself could be used in actual combat.
"The princess is indeed very capable." Wei Lin nodded in agreement, "I'll try this zipline too."
Wei Lin pulled the pulley and safety rope back from the opposite side. After tying the safety rope, he also grabbed the handle on the pulley with one hand, strode to the edge of the cliff, took a simple run-up, and with the inertia of gravity, he slid to the other side in two or three seconds.
"I'll be next!"
"I'll be the third one!"
"let me!"
…
Seeing that Wei Lin had also successfully reached the other side, those people who had been a little worried and afraid because of the bottomless canyon were now completely relieved.
Can't wait to try it.
Xuanji Zhang asked them to line up and maintain order, and not to be messy like a pile of loose sand.
"Don't worry, come one by one. This zipline is here, and it won't grow legs and run away."
Following closely behind Wei Lin was a group of exiled soldiers from the Qi family army.
Because they were well-trained, they were the first to line up.
Although they wear prosthetic limbs, their movements and execution abilities are no worse than those of normal people.
It took some time for more than a hundred people to cross to the other side in an orderly manner.
After everyone successfully met up on the other side, the small snowflakes turned into flakes of snow. The flying snowflakes had covered the ground, dyeing it a layer of white.
Yun Fu asked them to remove the pulley from the steel cable and retract it. Without the pulley, the cable was like a strong rope. Even if it was hung here, it would not be of much use.
Unless you are good at fighting.
Maybe I can use this steel cable to climb to the other side.
"Seventh Master, what is our plan next? I'll follow your instructions!"
Yun Fu gently tugged at her lips, exhaling a puff of white mist: "Of course, to catch a thief, you have to catch the turtle first!"
A group of people, taking advantage of the night and surrounded by flying snow, headed straight for the top of the mountain.
Because the Naihetang’s lair was built on the top of the mountain.
It is said that from the bottom of the mountain to the top, there are eighteen levels of guards and checkpoints.
But now, Yun Fu and the others came over from the cliff at the back of the mountain, and they only faced one level of guards.
——
At the top of the mountain is the main hall of the main courtyard where the head of Naihe Hall resides.
The lights are bright and it is very lively.
Yan Shili was wearing a precious fox fur cloak, leaning lazily on the armrest of the chair, holding an exquisitely crafted stove to warm his hands. The table in front of him was filled with more than a dozen dishes.
There was a burning charcoal brazier on each side of the table.
The temperature inside the house was indeed much warmer than outside, but the dancers were wearing very little, only a thin layer of clothes, dancing barefoot on the open space in front of the table.
Yan Shili picked up the wine cup at hand, took a sip of wine, and glanced at the group of dancers who were dancing hard with half-closed eyes. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"What? Are you feeling wronged to dance for this young master?"
Yan Shili's voice was gentle, but his eyes were filled with gloomy and cruel emotions.
All the dancers stopped moving, trembling and kneeling down.
"No, no, we don't feel wronged."
"Are you feeling so wronged? Then why don't you laugh? Are you born not to laugh?" Yan Shili's voice was still light with a smile.
But after hearing what he said, the dancers trembled even more violently.
He hurriedly forced himself to put on a smile.
One of the dancers was dizzy and dazed from the cold, and her reaction was a little slower than the others, so Yan Shili stared at her with a venomous look.
He raised his hand and had the dancer brought closer. He lifted her chin with his chopsticks and smiled slightly: "They are all smiling, why aren't you smiling? Are you unhappy just seeing me?"
The dancer was already frightened by him, and now she was brought in front of Yan Shili. She almost fainted from fear. The huge fear made her not know how to explain, and tears welled up in her eyes: "No, no..."
"Your face was ugly to begin with, and now it's even uglier!" Yan Shili kicked the person away in disgust and gave an order to the guard beside him, "Strip her clothes off and make her kneel in the snow outside. This young master wants to see if she can freeze to death in this weather."
When Yun Fu and the others successfully reached Naihe Hall.
At first glance, I saw the naked woman kneeling in the snow.
The dancer was frozen all over, her body was blue and purple, her legs had long lost all feeling, and she could hardly hold on.
Just as she was about to fall, someone grabbed her arm.
The woman was close by, and when Yun Fu passed by, she just happened to give her a hand, took off her outermost coat, wrapped the person up, and pushed her to Xuan Ji Zhang.
I continued to stride forward and arrived in front of the main hall.
Suddenly, so many figures appeared in the yard. The hall master Yan Shili, who was enjoying himself in the house, also heard the noise and immediately stood up: "Who are you? How did you get in?"
Yun Fu was tired of hearing these words.
Why do so many people like to ask these stupid questions?
She raised her chin and looked at the young man surrounded in the hall. Through the original owner's memory, she also confirmed the man's identity. It was Yan Shili, the young master of the Yan family. Oh, by the way, his current identity should be the head of Naihe Hall.
At this moment, Yan Shili also saw her face clearly in the bright light, and his eyes suddenly froze: "Princess Yunfu! It's you! You, how come you are here?"
But Yan Shili soon recovered from his shock, and with a smile on his face, he said, "After so many years, the princess has become even more beautiful."
