Hearing a small noise, he looked at the moving stone slabs in front of him.
Long Lin suddenly seemed to understand. No wonder, the sound heard above was very quiet.
Even standing in front of the moving stone slab, the sound was not loud.
Pieces of stone slabs fell down and then moved to the side. The whole process looked very incredible.
But looking at it, it actually feels silky smooth.
Many people looked surprised. Thinking about it, they were also sighing at the incredible movement of the rocks.
When the last stone fell, a ray of moonlight shone into the passage.
Yudie looked outside and showed a faint smile.
"It's open, you can see outside."
"Yes, it's open." Long Lin replied with a smile.
After the stone slab was moved in, an upward passage appeared on the ground.
Illuminated by torches, the steps of the passage can be seen clearly.
The design of this step is very interesting. In the middle is a step that goes upward one by one. It is very smooth, but on both sides of the step, there is a smooth upward slope, and both sides are very smooth.
Along the steps, everyone came outside.
After coming outside, Long Lin looked around.
Although it was dark, the city wall in the distance could still be seen clearly.
They passed through this tunnel and unexpectedly came directly to the outside of the city.
"Oh my god, Your Highness, this is actually outside Guchang County?" The Bird King couldn't help but exclaimed.
The Ghost King looked into the distance with a very complicated expression.
Xiaobao looked at the city wall in the distance, his eyes widened in shock.
"Oh my god, if there is a war and there is such a passage, it will be fatal."
Xiaobao's words made Long Lin stunned on the spot.
He didn't think too much, he was just thinking about the money.
But with Xiaobao's reminder, I couldn't help but feel panicked for no reason.
Xiaobao's words are correct. If a war really breaks out and the enemy enters the city along the passage, it will indeed be a terrible thing.
But Long Lin felt that this passage was built just for the money.
I am afraid that these things have been prepared in advance. After the money is delivered, it will be transported directly through these channels.
As for where the money was sent? Under this situation, it is impossible to know. The exit outside is a very desolate place.
The wheels here must have traces of being pressed out.
Long Lin waved, took a torch, and turned around to check the scene.
But at this moment, there were bursts of noises behind him.
The originally open passage, a stone slowly appeared, was about to be closed again.
Long Lin quickly turned around, and a figure flashed before his eyes and rushed into the tunnel.
After taking a closer look, there was one person missing. It was the Ghost King who rushed in.
And the open stone slowly rose up and closed again.
Long Lin smiled. He didn't expect that this mechanism had the function of automatically closing.
If there is no one inside, the passage can be closed automatically.
But for them, after it is closed, they may have to go through the city gate to enter the county again.
Fortunately, the Ghost King had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he avoided trouble.
With the ghost king's entry, Long Lin felt relieved. He turned around and began to inspect this large area of ground.
The ground is all dirt and there are no stones.
The land on the entire ground is very new. Someone must have deliberately turned over the land and completely destroyed all traces of it.
But it has been moved. It is very different from the ground that has not been touched all year round.
All the Imperial Guards saw Long Lin's actions.
They used the weapons in their hands to poke at the dead leaves on the ground, and soon found a clear transportation track.
As we passed along the road, we could finally clearly see that it led to the official road.
At this point, Long Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
His guess was not wrong; the money was indeed transported through the tunnel.
"Let's go back."
Long Lin said something and took the lead to go back to the original road.
Returning to the house again, Long Lin began to give instructions for everyone to have a good night's rest. Although the conditions were simple, at least they could shelter from the wind and rain in this house.
Xiaobao went to make arrangements, and Long Lin took Yudie and chose an unoccupied house.
...
After waking up, two Master Zhang came again with food.
After arriving, the two people were surprised to find that except for a few imperial guards guarding the door, everyone else was sleeping and resting.
There was a hint of smile on the corners of their mouths.
The Forbidden Army was also very familiar with the two of them and did not stop them.
Several officers and soldiers, pushing a cart containing food, stopped smoothly in the courtyard.
Zhang Quanshan and Zhang Heshun stood outside the door and waited quietly.
After a short time, everyone opened the door and walked out slowly.
Long Lin and Yu Die also came outside calmly from a house.
Looking at Yudie, Long Lin felt a little apologetic. Yudie followed him, but there was no place to rest.
He managed to rest on the floor for a while, but Yudie did not. She sat alone by the wall, leaning back slightly, and did not fall asleep. She just squinted her eyes and rested for a while.
When Xiaobao saw the food delivered, he immediately asked the Forbidden Army to prepare the meal.
Long Lin brought Yudie to the two Master Zhangs.
"Master Zhang, you have worked hard during this time."
"Your Highness, I'm serious. This is what a lower official should do."
Zhang Quanshan's face was full of smiles. He always felt that something was wrong here.
These people were obviously looking for some kind of tunnel, but why did they suddenly stop looking? Could it be that they had already found it?
"Your Highness, will you continue to search today?"
"No more searching, I've found it."
Long Lin didn't hide anything and replied directly.
When the two of them heard this, they were immediately shocked.
In their hearts, they also wanted to take a look at the underground tunnel. When they were looking for it, they took the opportunity to leave. Now facing Long Lin, they didn't know how to speak for a while. It was a bit difficult to say anything.
"Ah... I wish I found it. I wonder, has His Highness found anything?"
Long Lin listened and shook his head.
"Nothing was found. There is nothing inside. The tunnel leads directly to the outside of the city. I am afraid that the silver has been transported away by them long ago."
In one sentence, the two of them were so shocked that they were stunned on the spot.
"Ah... Your Highness, such a thing has happened. Where is the passage? I must send someone to guard it. If there is an accident, what should I do?"
Long Lin smiled.
Want to see it now? Why did you go there earlier? If you search with them, wouldn't you be able to see it? There is no door now.
"Don't look, there won't be any accidents. Master Zhang, have you found out who this courtyard belongs to?"
Zhang Quanshan showed a bitter smile.
Although I had a premonition in my heart, I still felt a little uncomfortable after being rejected outright.
They are older and cannot compare with these young people.
This is not a day or two, but dozens of days. If he is here, he may have stayed up late and become seriously ill.
