Bai Zhiyue chased the group in the direction they fled. People were searching everywhere outside, and it seemed that the group heading to the palace had also escaped. The city gates were all closed at this time, so they couldn't have left the city and must still be inside.
This is Congcong flying over
"Yueyue, they're going down the tunnel. Rat Da is following them. Come with me!"
"I knew they wouldn't leave through the city gate."
Congcong led the way to the kitchen of an empty two-story house. Two large stoves and two small stoves for stewing soup were lined up at the base of the wall.
"Pick up the big pot. There is a secret passage under the stove."
Bai Zhiyue picked up the cauldron, pushed open the iron door blocking the secret passage, and jumped down. It was too dark inside, so she had to use the solar-powered lamp in the space to light the way.
This tunnel actually leads to many places in all directions.
She relied on the lingering smell of fireworks to determine the direction and followed.
The people ahead must have lit a torch, as there was a distinct smell of cooking smoke in the tunnel.
The tunnel was very long and no one knew where it led to. Suddenly, the front opened up like a hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.
Bai Zhiyue turned off the light and put it back into the space. She stood there quietly for a while. At this time, Shu Da came back.
"Yueyue, you've caught up here. That's great! I don't have to run so far back to report the news. It's so tiring."
She took out a small disposable bag, put the rat in it and carried it. It wasn't that she was unkind, she just didn't want to put it in her arms.
“This way you don’t have to run anymore.”
"Yueyue is so nice to me"
She actually felt a little guilty, she really hadn't thought it through, and she still disliked the bacteria on it.
"Where did they go?"
"You can't even guess where this is?"
"Outside the city?"
After all, we have walked a long way, so it is normal to be able to reach the outside of the city.
"No, they wandered around and around and ended up back at the palace. I just checked and there are so many secret passages underneath the palace. The two groups just met and then went to different places, but they are definitely still under the palace."
"So that's how it is. People outside thought they had escaped, but unexpectedly they returned to the palace. I guess no one would have thought they would do the opposite and hide in the palace instead of fleeing far away."
"Yes, there are some rooms downstairs with some grain, oil, rice and flour stored in them. I didn't even have time to eat a meal just now. There are also a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden in several places. I will take you to pick out some good ones."
"The people of the previous dynasty must have been familiar with what the underground of the imperial palace was like, as they actually sent people to live there. I'm afraid the current emperor doesn't know about it, otherwise he would have filled it up long ago."
Thinking of the room full of gold, silver and treasures, Bai Zhiyue was shamefully tempted. There was no shortage of them at home, but she would feel no guilt in taking the things stored by the enemy. It would be considered a good deed for them to fill her own treasury.
"Let's go and load some up."
Following Brother Mouse's guidance, we arrived at the most remote tunnel. Sure enough, there were several rooms, with a large hall in the middle and ventilation holes above. I guess that's where they lived. There were a lot of bedding and daily necessities on the ground.
Two of the rooms were filled with various treasures, including boxes of gold and silver ingots, as well as various gemstones and jades, all of which were tangible and could be cashed in.
"Very good, I like it very much."
Take everything away, and everything will be gone with a wave of your hand.
"Yueyue, where are the things?"
“It’s been taken away.”
"Wow, are you a god? No wonder you can communicate with us."
"No, I just entered the underworld and gained some special abilities."
"Is that so? Then you are awesome too, one-of-a-kind. It's a pity I won't live much longer, otherwise it would be such a wonderful life to live with you and enjoy the good life.
However, if I could gain such power by entering the underworld, I would be willing to go now. In the future, I could just take a bunch of food from any house and it would be enough for me to eat for the rest of my life. I wouldn’t have to search for food everywhere every day, and I wouldn’t have to worry about eating by mistake…”
"No, this isn't something that everyone can have."
Even if you die right now, you won’t be able to possess it.
I never thought that one day she would have to persuade mice not to give up their lives.
"If nothing else, just live every day to the fullest."
In order to comfort its depressed heart, I put a handful of cooked peanuts in its pocket.
"Eat it, it tastes good. I like it too."
"Thank you. You are truly the best human being I have ever met. Meeting you is the greatest blessing in my life."
Anyone who can share his favorite food with a mouse is a good person to it.
Opening another room, it was likely filled with things stolen from various palaces, including exquisite imperial products, ornaments, and decorations.
"Forget about these. They can't be used or converted into cash. Leave them for the Emperor to recycle."
She didn't plan to take the other rice, flour and grains. They had been there for who knows how long, and perhaps other small animals had visited them. She decided to leave them to the emperor.
"Let's go back and continue looking for someone."
When she returned along the same route, she discovered that there seemed to be very few tunnels in the harem, only one or two, and most of the tunnels were concentrated where the emperor was.
"The people who built the underground passage probably also understood that there must be no underground tunnels in the harem, otherwise the master of the palace would not know whose people are his."
"Then why do they build so many tunnels? They can dig holes better than us rats."
"It was probably originally intended to facilitate escape in case of danger in the palace. However, with the underground dug to this extent, I'm afraid it wasn't done by just one emperor. I don't know what those people will do next. It would be best if we could wipe them all out here."
This group of people has set their sights on Doudou and me. We can't keep them here.
"Let's go to the left. I remember the leader going that way was the one who entered our house."
"good"
I didn't walk far before I heard a sound coming from the front.
"Hurry up! We failed to complete the last mission. This time, we must overturn the palace. Even if we can't kill the emperor, we must destroy the palace. Let's see how he can sit in the hall to attend court and sit on the throne."
"Boss, we've already set up the fuses in several main halls and bedrooms. We're just waiting for the signal from Team Two."
"Okay, go up there and listen. As soon as the emperor enters this circle, we'll drop a clue."
"yes"
Bai Zhiyue smelled the smell of gunpowder. Although it was not as powerful as modern gunpowder, a large amount of it could still blow through the tunnel and collapse the palace. It would also cause a big fire, so they couldn't let them set it on fire.
He aimed at the leader's legs and fired two quick shots.
"Puff puff"
Both legs hit
"Ah, who?"
While everyone was in a panic, she hid in the dark and killed all the men gathered here, and walked out of the secret passage.
"It's you again. I should just kill you."
"You don't stand a chance."
Bai Zhiyue gave him an anesthetic needle and didn't kill him directly in order to keep him alive for interrogation.
After checking that the others were dead, he cut all the fuses and went to look for others.
There are several other people in this team who have gone elsewhere with the clues. They must all be found and killed.
It was easy to find it by following the clues. After killing everyone, she walked out through an exit.
