Chapter 113: Ode to the Quanzhou Tunnel
The other Huns were about to retreat when they saw Meng Xihan stop in his tracks!
Since the general didn't leave, they didn't dare to leave. They stood straight beside him, looking in the direction he was looking.
The kitchen is empty, there is nothing in it?
What on earth is the General looking at?
A few people looked at each other behind him, and then they heard Meng Xihan suddenly speak:
"When we broke in, the people in the Chen Mansion didn't know we were coming. They were clearly still living well!"
If we want to live, we must have food!
He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he realized that there was not a single grain of food in such a big kitchen!
This is really weird!
It was so strange that when he thought about it more, he almost thought he had seen a ghost!
The brains of a few Hun soldiers are not as useful as Meng Xihan!
After hearing Meng Xihan's nonsensical words, they had no idea what he was trying to say.
Therefore, I don’t know what to do next!
As the soldiers were scratching their heads, Meng Xihan didn't seem to expect them to answer and quickly said:
"With so many people living in the mansion, how could the kitchen be empty and have nothing in it?"
Now, several soldiers quickly understood!
Someone emptied out the entire kitchen in a very short time!
Only then did they look towards the kitchen. The kitchen was huge!
If we want to fill up half the space with food, we will need about 500 people and it will take about four hours to move everything!
Several soldiers quickly inspected the kitchen and soon came to the conclusion that the kitchen and cellar were almost full of food, judging from the traces!
Judging from the traces of the food storage location, it was obvious that the food was moved away within an hour!
Meng Xihan listened to the soldier's report, and his face became darker the more he listened!
At the same time, Meng Xihan, who always prepared for a rainy day, also felt a sense of fear in his heart!
A kind of fear that the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light!
He couldn't think any further, so he said quickly:
"You all should quickly put the whole palace on alert. I will report this to the general!"
He thinks that chanting about Quanzhou is too weird!
First, a man with extraordinary archery skills appeared and shot them in the head with an arrow. No one had ever seen what this man looked like!
Then this man sneaked in again, killed people, and then released them. Then all the food in the huge kitchen and cellar suddenly flew away!
This is extremely shocking just thinking about it!
However, when Meng Xihan reported this to Antimo.
However, Antimo did not find this matter terrible. He felt humiliated by the people of Yongquanzhou!
It is better to be humiliated by being stepped on the head. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!
Antimo did not care about his rumbling stomach and immediately led all the soldiers to search in Yongquanzhou!
Meng Xihan never expected that his report would lead to such consequences.
He immediately ran after Antimo and shouted:
"General, the people of Yongquanzhou are more cunning than those of Fuzhou. We must not underestimate the enemy!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Meng Xihan compared the people of Quanzhou and Fuzhou!
It seemed that the people of Fuzhou were more cunning. They didn't kill many people in Fuzhou before they escaped in the freezing snow!
According to the spies' reports, they fled into the mountains of Quanzhou, where they lived a good life and started a new life!
When they heard the news, they were so angry that their nostrils were steaming!
As soon as the ice melted, they immediately sent troops to attack Yongquanzhou, thinking of taking Yongquanzhou by the way, and then dealing with those Fuzhou people who had escaped!
They had already stationed some secret agents in Yongquanzhou, letting them lurk in the army and knock out and kill everyone, including the Chen family members, leaving only some important officials for them to deal with!
The spies did this extremely smoothly, so smoothly that they captured Yongquanzhou without any effort!
They thought that the people from Quanzhou were not that great, and were even more cowardly than the people from Fuzhou who only knew how to run away!
But they didn't expect that not long after they arrived in Yongquanzhou, the soldiers kept dying, and they were killed in such a brutal way!
How can this not be scary?
But Meng Xihan couldn't stop the angry Antimo, so he could only persuade him as he walked.
Antimo felt that he was annoying: "If you keep talking nonsense here, get out of here!"
There was no way Meng Xihan could go back, so he had to shut up!
At the same time, I prayed in my heart that the person who could shoot someone in the head with one arrow would leave Yongquanzhou and stop chasing them!
Little did he know that the person with great archery skills he mentioned was actually hanging on the beam in the kitchen of their house!
Lu Qingqing made sure that they had all left to search the city, and waited for a while to make sure that there was nothing unusual outside!
Only then did they come down from the beams and walked outside cautiously!
At this moment, Liang Pei suddenly called out to them who were walking in front of him:
"Come with me. I know there is a secret tunnel that can lead us out of the Chen Mansion."
"Authentic???" they both said in surprise.
Liang Pei didn't think this was shocking at all:
"In fact, Yongquanzhou has always had a secret tunnel that leads from the city to the suburbs outside the city. This was dug by the previous prefect as a precaution. Who would have thought that it would become a life-saving passage for the people of Yongquanzhou!"
Hearing this, the brother and sister were secretly surprised. They didn't expect that the former prefect was so far-sighted!
But how did Liang Pei know that there was a tunnel in the Chen Mansion?
Judging from his expression, he seems to be quite familiar with the Chen Mansion!
However, neither of them asked him this question.
"This tunnel is known to everyone in Yongquanzhou, right?"
Lu Qingqing thought of what she had just seen outside. Except for the people shot to death by arrows on the ground, there were almost no living people in the city. They must have escaped from the city through the tunnel!
And now, it seems that they are the only family still in the city and have not left.
Liang Pei walked in front and led the way. He looked back at her and quickly shook his head.
"Not really. He was afraid that too many people knowing would cause unnecessary trouble, so he only let the elders of the family know!"
If the elders knew about this, they would definitely let all the tribe members escape through the tunnel in times of crisis!
Lu Qingqing nodded.
After that, the three of them didn't speak anymore.
Liang Pei took them around almost the entire Chen Mansion, and finally stopped at a compartment at the end of the corridor!
The compartment was a place for storing sundries. Liang Pei was the first to push open the door and walk in. He moved the bundle of firewood away in the corner and then moved a wooden board!
An entrance that could accommodate two people at the same time suddenly appeared in front of the three people.
