Chapter 246 The Hunchbacked Old Man ([-]) Second Watch
'Underestimate the enemy! "Wu Chenpiao was thinking in mid-air. He suddenly understood something at this moment. As long as he was on guard or tensed up, his body would naturally form a barrier and be very stressed. On the contrary, once he relaxed, There are no barriers.

Wu Chen saw Xing Yun's surprised gaze, and fell heavily to the ground.

Xing Yun wanted to turn around to rescue him, but the old man chased after him, so Xing Yun could only concentrate on fighting.

When there was no torch in his hand, Xing Yun had a hard time coping with it, but now he was thinking about Wu Chen's instructions, but he refused to throw away the torch and fought the old man with one hand.

Fortunately, the old man had just been punched by Wu Chen and was severely injured, so Xing Yun could barely hold on for a while.

The old man got rid of Wu Chen's big problem, and looked a lot more relaxed mentally. Holding the torch, Xing Yun could clearly see the old man's cloudy eyes shining with excitement.

"Baby, you can't get through here, go back."

Xing Yun was tense all over, unable to answer.

"You don't even think about transporting those gold and silver away. Tell your master, except for those who the second lady acquiesced..."

Xing Yun suddenly threw the torch into the air, and with both hands he shook the old man back two steps before catching the falling torch.

The old man chuckled, and in the blink of an eye, he flashed in front of Xing Yun. Xing Yun had already raised his hand and punched, but the old man was like a loach, sticking to Xing Yun's arm and flashing behind Xing Yun. He walked around in front of Xing Yun, before Xing Yun landed, the old man pressed his palm on Xing Yun's body, Xing Yun leaned back, but failed to dodge the palm, and his body fell backwards.

"Overestimating one's abilities!" The old man landed steadily, looking at Xing Yun, his expression changed involuntarily.

He thought he would see Xing Yun who fell to the ground, but Xing Yun just stood there holding a torch.

"you……"

"You are the one who is overestimated." Wu Chen stood up from behind Xing Yun.

"Lean against the wall, rest well, and leave the rest to me."

Wu Chen supported Xing Yun to lean against the wall. The old man wanted to catch him by surprise, but when he saw Wu Chen stand up again, the old man couldn't suppress his fear for a while, his chest suddenly surged abnormally, and he spit out a mouthful of old blood when he didn't pay attention. Before he could wipe the blood off his mouth, Wu Chen was already in front of him. This time, Wu Chen didn't show mercy.

……

The old man was thrown at the secret door again, this time he fell to the ground and no longer pretended to be dead, but struggled to sit up and looked at Wu Chen in horror.

Wu Chen took the torch from Xing Yun and walked quickly to the secret door. First, he looked at the material of the secret door. It was a stone door, and several cracks had already appeared on the stone door.

"How long have you been guarding here?" Wu Chen raised the torch in front of the old man and asked.

"Who are you?" the old man asked, clutching his chest.

"You don't have much time, pick up important questions, what's the use of asking this nonsense? Reporting my name after death won't make you reborn. What's behind this stone gate? According to the route, it should still be in another courtyard. Yuan Tianshi can't come in, but Er Niangzi's people can come in and take away the money, where can this be done? I really can't think of it."

"You want to take away the gold and silver?"

"Ask nonsense again! Is it possible that I came down to chat with you for a while? But then again, you are indeed the most powerful I have ever seen. Of course, I have not seen many. Right now your internal organs are broken. Still holding on, I really admire it!"

The old man snorted and said, "If you don't think about it, how could the second lady let you succeed? I'm just one of them. If you stop here, maybe you can save your life."

"Second Lady is almost out of her wits now, she has no time to care about these things, if it wasn't for your words of persuasion when you came up, I would have killed you with a slap, now it's not me who wants to save my life, it's you! My strength, you should know that this stone gate can't stop me, and the four giants in the dark room can't do anything to me, I wonder what else can stop me outside the stone gate?"

The old man's eyes burst out with panic from the bottom of his heart. He pointed to the end of the dark passage and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what have you done with the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?"

Wu Chen froze for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "What do you call those four things?"

The old man's face was ashen, his shoulders slumped down, and he was out of breath.

Wu Chen scratched his forehead and muttered, "Such a personality? I'll die if I say so! I haven't figured out a word yet."

"Don't be fooled by him again!" Xing Yun staggered over, drew out his long sword, and stabbed the old man's heart.

……

Wu Chen thought about countless scenes after the stone door was opened, maybe it was a secret door guarded by countless ghosts or even evil spirits in the dark and deep tunnel, or it was a monster that had never been seen before, even Wu Chen thought about whether it would be a secret door. cemetery?
But after the Shimen was smashed open by Wu Chen, both Wu Chen and Xing Yun were stunned for a moment.

In front of him were various fruits and vegetables scattered all over the ground and soldiers holding long swords.

This is the warehouse of the kitchen in the yard of the eldest princess!
The warehouse is semi-underground, and the light that the setting sun can shine in is limited, but right now the warehouse is brightly lit. When the soldiers guarding the yard heard the sound of 'boom', they immediately reported it to the higher authorities, followed closely by a group of Soldiers in armor went into the courtyard looking for the source of the sound.

When they found the warehouse with torches and drew their long swords to meet the enemy, Wu Chen smashed the stone door and stood side by side with Xing Yun in front of the door.

……

Without time to think about it, Wu Chen directed the soldiers to clear a clean path, and led a group of people into the dark room.

Because Xing Yun was injured, Wu Chen didn't let him follow.

Back in the dark room, it was already dark outside, and the soldiers in the dark room had already placed a lot of torches on the four walls in various ways, but they could be seen more clearly than before.

Wu Chen opened his mouth and looked at the endless box in front of him, and unconsciously moved the gold and silver in the box to his home, uh, he didn't have a home yet.

Just as Wu Chen was thinking about the gold and silver everywhere, a general hurried over to report: "There is another layer below!"

"How did you find out?" Wu Chen closed his mouth, swallowed and asked.

"When cleaning up the mud, I found a secret door on the ground behind the secret room. I opened the stairs and saw the stairs, but it was pitch black..."

Wu Chen immediately said: "Ignore the lower floor, cover the secret door, and first transport the boxes on this floor out along the secret passage!"

"Those four... are really scary. There are boxes not far from them, and no soldiers dare to approach them..."

"Ignore them. As long as the torch is on, they won't be able to move. I'll move the boxes near them to the middle in a while. You should move the ones that can be moved first. With so many boxes, it may be difficult to move them all out tonight. Send more people."

After all, Wu Chen stepped on the box and flew out of the dark room. He stepped on the cleared river bottom and walked to the bank. There were soldiers on the bank patrolling with torches. Li Heng was no longer here. He presumably went to the basement. After thinking about it, Wu Chen decided to go down to the darkroom, so that he could walk faster and not get lost.
