After all the personal guards entered the cave.
Li Changsheng and the others followed him in and started wandering around the cave.
However, after a short while, there was no more road ahead.
After looking at the surrounding walls, Deputy Zhang said,""Lord Zeng, this is a dead end. We can't go through at all!”
"Eighth Brother, you didn't go the wrong way, did you?”Zhang Qishan asked.
"Impossible, Lord Zeng. Our Qi family's compass is famous for its accuracy in the Nine Gates. It has never been wrong for so many years. Since the compass points here, it means that there must be something wrong here.”
Qi Tiezui answered with certainty.
In this aspect, he still had absolute confidence.
The Qi family specialized in the study of the five elements and eight trigrams, so there would definitely be no problems in this aspect.
"Adjutant, since Eighth Brother has said so, then there shouldn't be any problems. I know Eighth Brother's divination very well.”Zhang Qishan ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Adjutant Zhang led dozens of guards to search the surroundings.
However, after searching through every corner of the cave, they still could not find any way out.
The entire cave was sealed.
Just as they were looking for nothing, Li Changsheng, who had followed them in, scanned the surroundings. Finally, his gaze stopped in front of a pile of gravel in the middle of the cave. He said,
"Adjutant, get someone to move these stones away. If I'm not wrong, the cave entrance should be here.”
"No problem, Senior."
Zhang Rishan nodded and then asked the guards to move the items.
Soon, all the stones had been moved away.
There was indeed a hole under the pile of rocks.
Moreover, it was bottomless. Obviously, this hole should be connected to the mine.
After finding the entrance, Zhang Qishan looked at the pitch-black cave below and immediately turned to look at the two bodyguards behind him."Zhang Hu, Li Wei, the two of you go down and check the situation. As usual, if it's safe down there, whistle to signal, understand?”
"Understood, Lord Zeng!"
After hearing Lord Zeng's words, Zhang Hu and Li Wei were shocked.
He immediately tied the rope and rowed down the cave.
But at this moment,
Er Yue Hong, who had been silent all this while, seemed to have remembered something and said,"You two, wait a moment. When you go down later, if possible, try to walk against the wall.”
"Yes, Second Master."
Hearing this, the two guards nodded.
Then, he fixed the rope and rowed down the cave.
After the two guards left, the adjutant Zhang Rishan asked curiously,
"Second Master, what did you mean just now? Why are you leaning against the wall? Instead of walking in the middle? Was there anything special about this? If he walked in the middle, what bad things would happen?”
"That's not the case. This is only the entrance to the outer area of the ancient tomb. Even if there is really something, it is impossible for it to appear here. The reason why I let them walk in the middle is because of a technique in our family. Therefore, most people are used to walking in the middle when they walk. When the tomb owner sets up the mechanism, it is also set up according to the middle of the road. Therefore, the people of our Hong family have always walked on both sides when entering the tomb. This tomb also has my granduncle's traps. Our Hong family's traps are also buried in the middle of the road, so in comparison, it's safer to walk by sticking to the wall.”Er Yue Hong said slowly.
"I see!"
Zhang Rishan looked enlightened.
Just as they were chatting on the screen.
Suddenly, the sound of arrows and screams came from the cave.
"Sou! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Ah! Ah! Lord Zeng, save us…"
The screams and arrows soon stopped.
It was obvious that the two people who had just gone down had already lost their lives!
At this moment, two people had already died before entering the tomb. If they really entered the tomb of the mine, how dangerous would it be?
Hence, the Zhang Clan's personal guards in the group could not help but feel anxious. When they saw this scene, Zhang Qishan's face revealed some helplessness as he said,
"Everyone, I believe that you should have heard the commotion just now. I don't want to make things difficult for you. After all, I am the commander of Changsha City's defense, and the responsibility to protect the people of Changsha is also mine. It has nothing to do with you. Therefore, if you are afraid, you can leave now. Otherwise, if you go down, even I might not be able to guarantee your safety.”
"Lord Zeng, what are you talking about? Ever since I became a personal guard of the Zhang Clan, my life is yours.”
"Yes, me too!"
"Lord Zeng, just give the order. We are not afraid of death.”
“……”
Although the Zhang Clan's personal guards were a little terrified, they were still elite soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles. Therefore, they quickly adjusted themselves.
After hearing their words.
Zhang Qishan also nodded in satisfaction and then said,
"Alright, since all of you think highly of me and are willing to come with me, I promise that I will definitely bring you out alive. Even if I can't come out alive, I will drag your corpses out.”
After saying that, Zhang Qishan tied the rope.
He took the lead and rowed towards the east and west.
As for the others, they followed closely behind.
Before long, they had reached the bottom of the cave. As soon as they entered, they saw two corpses on the ground. There were many arrows stuck in these corpses, and the blood on the ground was black.
It was obvious that the arrow was smeared with poison.
As long as they were infected, they would basically die without a doubt. After seeing their deaths, everyone felt a little sorry, especially Zhang Qishan.
One had to know that the people accompanying him this time were all carefully selected by him.
The personal guards here had already followed him through life and death for many years.
Some of them even helped him block knives on the battlefield.
Therefore, after witnessing the death of his brother, Lord Zeng was naturally a little emotional. However, now was not the time to be sad. The most important thing now was to find out the situation in the ancient tomb as soon as possible.
