Chapter 236 Where is Yin Zhijie
"When did I..."
Mei Cheng'an, who was confused, suddenly reacted and looked directly at Fan Xian. It must be this guy's doing.
Fan Xian gave him a wry smile and then spoke to Si Lili.
"I promised to protect your life. Even if I die, you must die after me."
"..."
Si Lili was speechless. What did this have to do with anything? Who was connected to who? It was such a mess that she was completely confused.
Fan Xian didn't care about her and raised his hand to point.
"You go inside."
Si Lili walked in obediently. Now was not the time to get angry with a fool. Saving her life was the most important thing.
Fan Xian turned sideways and raised his leg, pulled out a dagger from his boot, then looked at Mei Cheng'an and said.
"Let's go, your maids are still guarding the secret door, I told them to retreat inside, but they didn't listen.
The secret door may be opened at any time now, with so many people outside.
We are a bunch of grown men hiding in there, so why are we letting a few girls guard the door?
Let's guard together, let's die together, let's go."
These words were said openly. Not only did Chen Pingping's eyes show more admiration and praise, but even Mei Cheng'an couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. A person's character is revealed in times of crisis. Not bad, not bad.
"That makes sense, you're awesome, let's go."
Fan Xian nodded and looked at Chen Pingping, Si Lili, Wang Qinian and others.
"Just stay here. If we can hold on, that's great. If we can't... well, then you'll have to pray for the best."
As he was speaking, the iron chain above his head that had just made a noise made a noise again.
Wang Qinian hid behind Mei Chengan, staring with eyes wide open in fear.
"Here it comes again, what on earth is this?"
Mei Chengan rolled his eyes almost to the sky, what a waste.
Fan Xian raised his head and took a look at the four iron locks that passed through the wall. It was obvious that the noise came from the other side of the wall.
"What's that over the wall?"
Chen Pingping smiled and said.
"I said, there are people imprisoned here."
Fan Xian thought for a moment and remembered.
"The devil who brought chaos to the world?"
Chen Pingping smiled and nodded.
"Yes, one is still alive."
Fan Xian shook his head and glanced again.
"So many chains, just to lock up one person?"
Chen Pingping raised his head and smiled.
"Just for one person."
Fan Xian thought for a moment, then handed the dagger in his hand to Teng Zijing, and quickly walked past Chen Pingping to the wall.
He took a step forward, tapped the wall with his toes, and instantly grabbed the square air hole left by the chain passing through the wall, and looked inside carefully.
Si Lili was speechless as she watched Fan Xian climbing over the wall.
"It's already this hour, can you save your life by just looking at it?"
I saw an empty room over there, and in the middle of the room, a "person" with disheveled hair and tattered clothes was standing there.
His neck was tied with a straight iron chain that fell vertically from the roof. There were not just four iron chains around his body, but at least seven or eight that locked him tightly from all directions, making him unable to move.
As if he had noticed Fan Xian's gaze, the man seemed to be about to turn around and look at him, and the iron chains suddenly made a rattling sound.
The corner of Fan Xian's mouth twitched. His face was touching the chain, and it almost hit his face. His hands loosened and Fan Xian fell back to the ground.
He first looked at Si Lili and answered her question.
"You're about to die, and you're not allowed to satisfy your curiosity."
After saying this, Fan Xian walked back to Chen Pingping.
"Hey, that person is dangerous?"
Chen Pingping said seriously.
"It's dangerous!"
Then he laughed again.
"His name is Sean, and my legs are broken because of him!"
"..."
Fan Xian opened his eyes slightly and looked at the wall. In a trance, he felt that he saw that person again through the wall. It was him.
Mei Cheng'an tilted his head backwards.
"Can you let me go, Lao Wang? You heard me, right? I'm just a person, and I'm chained to death. Look how scared you are."
Wang Qinian let go of his hand awkwardly and stood against the wall.
Mei Cheng'an looked at Fan Xian.
"Now that our curiosity is satisfied, it's time for us to go."
Fan Xian came to his senses and slapped his forehead.
"Oh, I almost forgot about the important matter."
He took the dagger handed to him by Teng Zijing, held it in his hand, and walked in front of Mei Cheng'an.
"Let's go."
Mei Cheng'an glanced at Wang Qinian again and said something.
"Just stay here and take care of them."
Wang Qinian nodded.
"Oh, okay, that young master, please be careful and come back alive."
Mei Chengan waved his hand and walked out.
Fan Xian and Teng Zijing followed closely, but before they had taken two steps, Fan Xian was stopped by a shadow.
"There are so many people outside, all of them are above the seventh rank, you will die if you go there!"
Mei Cheng'an in front just paused, looked back, and said nothing, then continued walking out.
"Hey, wait for me."
After Fan Xian shouted at Mei Cheng'an's back, Mei Cheng'an didn't even turn his head or say anything, but just waved his hand.
Fan Xian looked at the shadow speechlessly.
"Why are you stopping me? And why are you only stopping me? Why don't you go and help guard together? Are you going to sit here and wait for death? Are you going or not? If not, get out of the way. A good dog doesn't block the road."
Shadow turned a deaf ear to Fan Xian's rude remarks and spoke.
"In fact, there is another way to survive. They only want to kill Chen Pingping."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone subconsciously looked at Chen Pingping, who smiled without saying anything.
Fan Xian was stunned when he heard this, and after he came to his senses, he rolled his eyes at Shadow.
"Do you think they will let us go after killing Chen Pingping?" Shadow said.
"We can kill him first and use his head to exchange for our lives."
"..."
Hiss~ It seems...
Fan Xian subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Pingping, only to see Chen Pingping looking at him quietly without saying a word, looking like a person who had been bullied.
Fan Xian always felt that something was not right. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that his fellow villager had said that Yingzi had been guarding Chen Pingping closely all these years, and the two could be said to be inseparable.
It's not surprising to hear this from other people, but it's too strange to hear it from Shadow's mouth. It feels like there's something wrong!
Fan Xian couldn't figure out what the trap was for a moment, but he definitely wouldn't step into it and just treated it as if he was farting!
After thinking about it, Fan Xian said to Teng Zijing behind him.
"Zi Jing, I'm sorry for dragging you into danger again. This time we might have to risk our lives."
Teng Zijing looked solemn.
"There's no need to talk about this now. Let's talk about it after we survive."
Fan Xian nodded, turned around, raised the dagger and pressed it against Shadow's arm, then looked at Shadow and said coldly.
"Step aside!"
Shadow glanced at him, and while he wasn't paying attention, he snatched the dagger from his hand and turned to walk out.
"Just wait here. It's not time to risk your life yet."
Before Fan Xian could react, the dagger in his hand disappeared. After being stunned for a while, he glared at the shadow's back.
"Are you sick."
As he was about to chase after him, Wang Qinian grabbed him again.
Fan Xian was extremely depressed.
"What's wrong with you, Lao Wang? Are you trying to pull my feathers?"
Wang Qinian said.
"Master Xiao Fan, you have lost all your weapons. You are fighting with swords and sabers with your bare hands. There are experts out there. You should just listen to Master Shadow and wait here. It's safer."
"..."
Teng Zijing thought about it and looked at Fan Xian.
"Hey, what he said makes sense."
"..."
……
Outside the secret door, everyone gathered here after searching in vain.
"Have you found Chen Pingping?"
"no!"
"Not here either!"
"What about the second and third floors?"
"I've checked it all, but he's not here!"
"That's not right. I clearly saw him come in. Where is he?"
"That's right, could it be flying?"
"You are talking nonsense. You can't even walk. Where are you going to fly to?"
"The person must still be here. Let's look for him ourselves."
"I checked carefully, in every cell, and I really didn't see it."
"what should I do then."
"That's right, what can I do?"
"Yes, yes."
Just when everyone was at a loss, someone shouted loudly.
"Oh, now I remember, did they go to the deepest part of the dungeon?"
"The deepest part?"
"Is there a deepest part of the dungeon?"
"Where is the entrance?"
"That's right, just tell me now."
"Quiet, quiet, don't make any noise. I also heard from someone that there is indeed a deepest point and the entrance seems to be a secret door. Who said it? I heard... Oh, Zhijie! I heard it from Zhijie."
As he spoke, the man turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Zhijie! Yin Zhijie! Where are you? Is Yin Zhijie here? Has anyone seen Yin Zhijie? Has anyone seen Yin Zhijie?"
"I saw him. He was searching the third floor with me just now. Hasn't he come down yet?"
"Go up and find him! He knows the entrance to the secret door!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away. Oh, that's alright. Zhijie, come down quickly. Why are you taking so long? Hurry up, hurry up."
Yin Zhijie, who had just come down from upstairs, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and quickly sped down two steps. He felt that it was still too slow, so he simply grabbed the railing and jumped down the stairs and ran over.
"What's the matter? Chen Pingping is not upstairs."
"Oh, we know this. Have you been to the deepest part of the dungeon?"
"Yeah, have you been there?"
“Is there really such a place?”
"Do you know where the secret door is?"
"..."
After a flurry of questions, Yin Zhijie's head was buzzing, but he roughly knew what he should do.
Without wasting any words, he pushed through the crowd and walked to the wall where everyone was reaching out their hands. He looked left and right, walked to one of the torch stands, folded his hands, and pressed down hard.
The rumbling sound of the mechanism was followed.
Yin Zhijie pointed to the wall where a tiny crack appeared.
"The secret door is right here!"
someone in the crowd shouted.
"Chen Pingping is in there! He has nowhere to escape. Let's go! Kill him!"
"Kill him, kill him! Go!"
"Everyone, rush!"
The surging crowd raised their swords and rushed towards the secret door which had not been opened and was not very wide.
……
Behind the secret door, after hearing the sound of the secret door starting, Bluebird took the lead in pressing the door closing button from the inside, but unfortunately it didn't work.
Hearing the roars coming from outside the door, the maids' hearts rose to their throats. They swallowed unconsciously, held their breath, and tightened their swords in their hands.
……
