Tang Yin was sure that he had not touched any mechanism, so there was only one explanation, that is, Xiao Xiang was playing tricks. But would she be so stupid that she wanted to blow herself up too? Tang Yin secretly shook his head, expressing that he could not understand.
He stared down at the unconscious Xiao Xiang for a while, then slowly looked away and looked around.
Now that the torches have been extinguished and both ends of the tunnel are blocked, the tunnel is truly pitch black with no light. Even if Tang Yin has night eyes, the distance he can see at this time is very limited.
He stretched out his hand, groped randomly on the ground for a while, and then pulled out the torch buried under the dust. Then he reached into Xiao Xiang's arms, took out her torch, and lit the torch.
With the bright light, Tang Yin slowly stood up and walked towards the front of the tunnel. He only walked about ten meters away, and there was no way forward. The tunnel was completely blocked by collapsed soil and gravel.
.
Tang Yin took a deep breath and illuminated the spirit armor again. Then, he put his shoulder against the stone pile and hit it hard. He heard a muffled sound. The stone pile did not move at all. It was obvious that the collapse area was too large.
, the piles of rocks and soil blocked the tunnel too tightly.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, holding the torch and retreating. After passing Xiao Xiang, he walked more than ten meters away. The tunnel behind him was also blocked by collapsed stones and mounds of earth.
Tang Yin still hit it with all his strength with his shoulder, but just like before, the pile of rocks and soil remained motionless.
After figuring out the current situation, Tang Yin couldn't help but take a breath. The way out and the retreat were all blocked. He and Xiao Xiang were trapped in these dozens of meters of tunnels. Even if his soldiers could find this place in time, they would still have to wait.
It is estimated that it will take at least two or three days to dig out the tunnel. During such a long time, even if a person can survive without eating or drinking, he will still be suffocated to death.
If Xiao Xiang is really up to something, she must be crazy. She obviously wants to die with herself!
Tang Yin walked back to Xiao Xiang, then squatted on the ground, with the tip of his nose almost touching the ground, sniffing carefully. He smelled until he reached the corner of the wall, paused for a moment, carefully pushed away the loose soil on the ground, and then took a closer look.
At the corner of the wall, there was a faint line of white ash on the ground, extending to both sides. It was the mark left by the fire.
He studied it carefully for a while and understood everything. Xiao Xiang did not go to the toilet at all, but took the opportunity to push himself away, then lit the fire twister and detonated the previously arranged explosion.
It was really she who did it! Tang Yin was shocked and angry. In order to stop himself from pursuing it, she was willing to die with him. Did he underestimate her before? This damn woman!
Reluctantly, he pulled up Xiao Xiang's clothes and looked inside. He found that his belt was not untied at all, let alone going to the toilet!
He slowly put down the lapel of Xiao Xiang's clothes and couldn't help but burst into laughter, a bitter smile. He had calculated everything, but he had failed to calculate Xiao Xiang's determination, and now he was in such a predicament that he could neither advance nor retreat.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Xiang, who had been in a coma, woke up at some point. She sat up from the ground, looked at Tang Yin with two big eyes defensively, and subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes with her hands.
.
"What are you doing?" Tang Yin was so angry that he stared at Xiao Xiang without blinking and said, "I'm asking you the same question!" As he spoke, he moved forward and approached Xiao Xiang.
Come on.
Xiao Xiang trembled with fright. She smelled the smell of approaching danger and couldn't help but rub her back. Soon, her back was against the wall, and there was no way to retreat. Tang Yin crawled in front of her, the distance between the two
So close that the tips of their noses were almost touching.
"Why?"
"What...why?" Xiao Xiang's heart was beating so hard at this moment that she felt like her heart would pop out of her throat if she just opened her mouth wider. She timidly looked at Tang Yin who was very close at hand, and her breathing became messy.
"Why do you want to light a**? You want to drag me to die in the tunnel with you, right?!" Tang Yin gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.
"What the fuck? I don't know what you're talking about!" Xiao Xiang didn't dare to look into Tang Yin's sharp gaze. She turned away and looked to the side, her little face tightened, pretending to be angry.
Tang Yin didn't give her a chance to evade, he raised his hand and pinched her small chin, twisted it back so that she could meet his eyes, and then said with a sneer: "You don't understand? Now you are still pretending to be confused with me!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "The fire that detonated the explosion was ignited here. How dare you say you didn't do it? Is that a ghost?"
Feeling that the force on Tang Yin's fingers was slowly increasing, as if it was about to crush her chin, Xiao Xiang was heartbroken and gave up. She suddenly waved her arm and opened Tang Yin's hand.
He said angrily: "So what if it's me? The tunnel is full of **. If one place is detonated, all the ** in other places will explode. Now this tunnel has been completely destroyed. You can never go out again!"
"I finally admit it, it's you!" Tang Yin put down his hand, stepped back, and sat cross-legged on the ground. He said slowly: "Don't be too proud, I can't get out, and you can't get out either."
Xiao Xiang raised her head, hummed and said with a smile: "If I can be buried with His Highness the Wind King, I will be considered a worthy death..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a sound of sand, and Tang Yin's sword was unsheathed. Xiao Xiang didn't even see clearly what was going on. The cold tip of the sword was already pressed against her neck. Xiao Xiang almost screamed on the spot.
, she used all her willpower to calm herself down. She curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "Do you want to kill me to vent your hatred? That's fine, kill me, and you can wait to die alone here!
"After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and acted as if she wanted to kill him if he wanted to.
If killing her could help him get out of trouble, Tang Yin would stab the sword in his hand without hesitation, but now, even killing Xiao Xiang would not help.
He pondered for a moment, and finally put the sword back and said quietly: "Even if I want to kill you, I will not let you die so happily."
Xiao Xiang shuddered, met Tang Yin's cold eyes, and asked: "What do you want to do with me?"
Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth, but smiled without saying a word. After a pause, he changed the topic and asked: "If my guess is correct, you are the 'Mr. Yu', right?"
Now that things have happened, Xiao Xiang has nothing to hide. She cheered up and said with a smile: "It seems that you know a lot."
"How did you bribe Zhang Murong so that he could obey you?" Tang Yin asked curiously.
"There seems to be nothing in this world that cannot be accomplished with money." Xiao Xiang said proudly.
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Xiao Xiang continued with a smile: "I had already sent people to Zhang Murong's family to Sichuan. It was for protection in name, but in reality it was a hostage. Later, he couldn't help but listen to me.
"
"What a smart move!" Tang Yin exclaimed in admiration, and then asked: "The reason why Kawaguchi County can invite so many rangers is because of the gold and silver provided by Sichuan Kingdom, right?"
"Of course! Spending this gold and silver is nothing to Sichuan Country." Xiao Xiang said: "Whether it is Sichuan Country or your Feng Country, Guankou City is very important. As long as you can get Guankou City, you can spend it.
No matter how much gold and silver you have, it is still worth it."
Tang Yin thought for a moment and then asked: "Since our army entered Kawaguchi County, you have been using delaying tactics. Why?"
Xiao Xiang shrugged and said: "Because there are a lot of things to do, it will take time to stock up on long-term war supplies, grain, grass, and armaments in Guankou City."
"And dig this tunnel." Tang Yin added for her: "With this tunnel, even if the resources hoarded by Guankou City are not sufficient, we can still use it to make Guankou City receive continuous funding from the Sichuan Kingdom."
"His Royal Highness Feng Wang is really amazing. You guessed everything right." After a slight pause, Xiao Xiang asked curiously: "When did you figure it out?"
"While your Sichuan army is collecting earthen jars from everywhere." Tang Yin said calmly.
Xiao Xiang was stunned for a while, then Fang suddenly realized and patted his head and said: "So you have planted spies at the border. I forgot about this..."
Tang Yin looked at Xiao Xiang who looked remorseful and asked seriously: "Did you plan everything that happened in Kawaguchi County?"
Xiao Xiang met Tang Yin's scrutinizing gaze and asked with a smile: "What? Does His Highness Feng Wang look down on me?"
"That's not true, I just think it's incredible." If all this was really planned by Xiao Xiang alone, then she is definitely the most far-sighted woman she has ever seen, and also the most terrifying woman.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "Isn't it part of your plan to bury a gun in the tunnel in advance?"
Xiao Xiang was happy and said: "There is no airtight wall in the world. Of course I have to be prepared for you to discover the tunnel."
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Is there any other exit in the tunnel?"
Xiao Xiang was startled when she heard this. After a moment, she shook her head slowly and said, "There is only one exit and one entrance in the tunnel. Where are there other exits?"
"Really?" A glint flashed in Tang Yin's eyes, and he said softly: "But looking at the princess's calm performance, it doesn't look like the reaction of a normal person when they are on the verge of despair!"
Secretly muttering that Tang Yin was cunning, Xiao Xiang raised her head arrogantly and said, "I am not an ordinary person! Besides, isn't His Highness Feng Wang also very calm?"
Oh? Tang Yin rubbed his chin, moved his eyes up and down, and looked at Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang felt uncomfortable being looked at by him. Even if she was not guilty, she would feel awkward being looked at by a man like this.
She said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, what do you think of me? Don't you think it's too rude?"
