Chapter 4 The Old Underground City

10days ago Historical fiction 8
Being trapped!

Before Mu Guiying's body could land, she suddenly realized in her mind that she had accidentally stepped on the trap of Pang's mansion.

She didn't know what was waiting for her under the trap, but based on her experience on the battlefield, it was nothing more than sharpened wooden sticks, bamboo slices, etc., which could make her feel cold.

Therefore, she was in the air and suddenly turned over, and the single knife in her hand hit the ground.

With the power of this pillar, the body turned up again and quickly turned toward the side.

In the trap, the sticks that stab people in the wood and bamboo slices are usually concentrated at the bottom of the pit, and there will be relatively fewer on both sides.

But after Mu Guiying turned around, she had already looked around the pit and understood that the bottom of the trap was much bigger than she thought, and there were no pointed wooden sticks or bamboo pieces below.

Mu Guiying then landed steadily. When she looked around, she found that the one she stepped on was a bluestone brick floor, which was regular, as if she had entered a house.

This is indeed a house, a house buried underground

Mu Guiying suddenly thought that the Yellow River flooded in the late Tang Dynasty and flooded Bianliang, burying both sides of the bank under the mud and sand.

Later Liang destroyed the Tang Jianguo and built a capital on the former site of Kaifeng. The original Tang Bianzhou City sank more than a ft.

The pit she hid in was thin, so she trampled on the roof and fell into this house

Mu Guiying tried to open the door of the house, but unexpectedly, there was a dirt tunnel outside the door, which was exactly the same as the official road on the ground. It led to Bianliang City and Pangjiazhuang and the Yellow River Dam.

But this tunnel only allows one person to pass through

Mu Guiying closed the door of the house again and walked into the tunnel

The ground of the tunnel is paved with old bluestone slabs, which is clearly the official road outside the Bianzhou city of the former Tang Dynasty.

Mu Guiying looked towards Bianliang, and saw a deep and winding, unable to see at first glance, and then looked towards Pangjiazhuang, with a faint light.

She held the single knife in her hand and walked towards Pangjiazhuang

The tunnel is quite straight. After walking on the Yorix Road, I saw that the front suddenly became clear, like a hall, which happened to be below Pangjiazhuang

Several fully armed soldiers gathered on the edge of a brazier and chatted and laughed.

Although this hall is not as big as Pangjiazhuang, there is a door on all four walls. One of them leads out to the tunnel. There is no way to the other three.

Mu Guiying guessed that the Pangjiazhuang must have emptied them.

And this so-called hall is just an outpost that enters Pangjiazhuang from the tunnel

Seeing someone there, Mu Guiying dared not reveal it, so she hid in the darkness and eavesdropped on the conversations of the soldiers in the palace.

I heard one of them say: I heard that an assassin entered the village above. General Li and General Zhou have sent someone to chase me. I guess, I am afraid that the matter of this underground old city will not be hidden.

Another person said: I knew that when Hun Tianhou and Bao Zheng came, there would be no good things! They must have found some clues before they found this place.

Another person said: The assassin had already escaped to Bianliang along the official road. General Li ordered the sentries at various cave entrances along the way to block them. I am afraid that it will not take long. The assassin will definitely capture him and he will be investigated. He will know everything.

Mu Guiying had just passed a big battle and had not fully recovered his energy. He did not dare to alarm these soldiers, so he quietly retreated and walked along the tunnel towards Bianliang City.

Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, he heard footsteps in front of him, Mu Guiying hurriedly hid himself in the shadow

A general's appearance is coming towards him

This person is in his fifties, short and capable

Mu Guiying naturally recognized this person, and it was Lei Shangqing, the Yama General of the Yulin Army.

He is a distant relative of Tai Shi Pang. He relies on this relationship with Tai Shi Pang to work in the Yulin Army.

Later, because he is good at socializing, he soon became a tooth leader.

Lei Shangqing followed several soldiers. As he walked, he ordered the soldiers: You all told me, go up to the road, set up an ambush along the way, and when you encounter suspicious people, you will immediately take them down.

Yes! The soldiers behind him answered in unison

After these people passed by, Mu Guiying came out of the darkness and continued to walk towards Bianliang in the tunnel.

Along the way, I saw people who looked like Yulin Army and Pang Family's soldiers from time to time, and walked along the tunnel towards Pangjiazhuang.

She had to hide for the time being and then move forward after they all walked past

What exactly is hidden under this ground? Why do so many Yulin soldiers come down here?

Mu Guiying had too many doubts in her heart, and she had to continue to move forward and walk to the end to find out the answer.

The tunnel is narrow and long, and it seems that there will never be an end. Mu Guiying feels a little suffocated like an underground creature.

Suddenly, there was another noise coming from the front. Mu Guiying was still alive and was hiding in the dark. She could only come and continue to move forward once she passed by.

A fat and short general came, his huge body could hardly squeeze through the narrow tunnel

His chin is three layers thick, and his big belly is like ten months pregnant

The fat on the face fell down and almost dragged onto the shoulders

Similarly, many soldiers from the palace were followed by him

Ruan Tai! Sure enough, another Yulin Army soldier, although he was obese, he was a scout and was very good at checking. He was a capable assistant to Master Pang.

Damn! I was enjoying myself in the brothel, but an assassin came out, which made me feel disturbed! If I were asked to catch him, I would torture him! Ruan Tai said while walking

General Li and General Zhou have sent people to chase him. I guess it won't take long to do that, then the assassin will be arrested! A person who looks like a captain said

Ruan Tai walked, suddenly stopped and sniffed hard in the air with his nose.

General, what's wrong? The soldier asked

Ruan Tai sniffed and said: No, it seems like a woman here!

Mu Guiying couldn't help but feel nervous when she heard this

Rumors in the capital that Ruan Tai of the Yulin Army has a sensitive nose as a dog, and is known as a dog general.

It seems that today, it turns out

Mu Guiying had a big battle in Pangjiazhuang just now, and naturally shed a lot of sweat on her body. It must be that the smell of sweat floated into the air and was smelled by Ruan Tai.

It's over, may it be exposed! Mu Guiying was secretly anxious

Haha! General, have you just hugged the Buddha and laughed, and her fragrance still existed on her body! The soldier said with a smile

Ruan Tai suddenly slapped the soldier and scolded: What do you know? This is definitely not the fragrance of rouge that Buddha laughs at, it looks like... like the fragrance of a woman's sweat...

After hearing this, Mu Guiying shrank tighter in the darkness.

Where is there any woman here? The soldier looked around and looked around for a few times, and said innocently

It must be that we were sweating all the way along the way, and the general still had the fragrance of rouge that was as funny as the Buddha. After two blows, the general naturally sniffed it into the fragrance of a woman's sweat!

Another soldier laughed

Ruan Tai nodded: I'm afraid it's the same! As he said that, he moved his foot and walked forward

Just waiting for them to walk away, Mu Guiying breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't dare to stay, rush toward Bianliang

I don't know how many miles I have walked, but Mu Guiying only felt sore in her feet

The pit not far from her head made her breathless

Finally, the road ahead became wider and wider, and there were scattered bricks on the ground from time to time, and large pieces of land were piled up on the ground.

At the end of the road, a wall blocked the way

To be precise, it was not blocked, because there was another door hole in the wall

The door opening is very large, the wall is made of gray diamonds and bluestone, and it looks very thick, like a city wall

Mu Guiyingyi thought that this place should be under the city tower of Bianliang.

It seems that the flood that year did not destroy the Bianzhou city wall, but just buried it underground.

When Houliang built the capital, the city defense was raised on the basis of the original city wall.

Therefore, the base of the city on and under the ground is actually one

Mu Guiying hid behind a huge rock and looked into the door

A huge space has been dug in front of the doorway, enough to accommodate the cross chariots

Four or five people who looked like Yulin Army patrolled the doorway

Suddenly, Mu Guiying came up with a terrible idea

On the earth is the world of the emperor, and on the ground, all of them are the world of Taishi Pang?

Could it be that Master Pang will not be able to rebel?

Such a huge dungeon was built, and the Pang family's military soldiers and Yulin troops were stationed underground. As long as they attacked, they could easily control the entire capital.

Mu Guiying's sleeve arrows and flying knives were used up and she could not shoot the guards at a long distance.

And she could not kill these four or five people in an instant, so she did not dare to act rashly, so she could only look through the huge rock

Looking through the door, there is a straight and wide road, with both sides of the houses of the style of the pre-Tang Dynasty, and they are arranged in an orderly manner.

But this is a city that will never see the sun. The sky is completely replaced by five black soil. Those buildings with more than three floors, even half of them are buried in the soil layer above their heads.

But this does not hinder the prosperity of the city. Many houses are like ghost fires, with lights that are flashing and dizzy.

Going further apart, it is like the paradise of playboys on the ground, with bright lights and people flying

Unexpectedly, there was such a world underground! Even Mu Guiying couldn't help but be amazed that the underground had completely copied the Bianliang City above his head and established his own kingdom

Mu Guiying suddenly felt that the huge stone he was hiding had a different texture. He couldn't help but look closely and saw two big characters on the stone. Bianzhou

This is indeed the Bianzhou City of the former Tang Dynasty! Mu Guiying became more and more convinced of her thoughts

At this time, only one guard said: It’s time for Yin, I should go and rest. You will continue to guard here and wait until the hour of Mao to call me!

I understand, go!

Mu Guiying was shocked when she heard this

It was already Yin, and I had to return to Tianbo Mansion quickly. If it was time to hit Mao, I couldn't go back to the mansion. If the mansion knew about it, I would know that I went out late at night and had not returned. I must be anxious

Thinking of this, I quickly set off and returned as usual

Returning to the house that had just fallen, Mu Guiying entered inside, closed the door, took out the flying tiger claws, hooked the ground on the top, went up along the rope, and returned to the ground

As soon as I arrived at the ground, I felt a little guilty when I thought of an empty city under my feet.

But she couldn't care about so much, for fear of being discovered by Pang Mansion, blocked the entrance of the cave, so she found some branches and leaves, covered the entrance, and then hurried back to Bianliang to go back to Bianliang

It was early morning. The moon had just hid in the clouds, but the sun had not yet come out, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

Mu Guiying relied on the night before the early morning to avoid the soldiers chasing her and returned to the city.

Still climbing up to the wall with flying tiger claws, avoiding the soldiers guarding the city, and returning to Tianbo Mansion without knowing it

As soon as I entered the boudoir, I heard the sound of drums in the mansion, Mu Guiying had no time to rest, so she hurriedly changed into night clothes, put on her robes, and went to the front hall to accept Taijun's dot.

In Yin'an Hall, ladies and wives have already been dressed neatly and are waiting there

Mu Guiying walked into Yin'an Palace and heard the Taijun say: Guiying, I see that you look bad, is it because of the labor force that governs the river last night?

Mu Guiying replied: Not so! It’s just that my granddaughter-in-law wants to ask you ladies and madams for advice!

Oh? What's the matter? Taijun asked

Mu Guiying asked: Can you tell me that the old city of Bianzhou in the previous Tang Dynasty?

Taijun said: Naturally, Bianzhou was built during the Qin and Han dynasties and rose and became abolished several times. Until the late Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River embankment was disrepair due to war. The river water washed away the embankment and flooded Bianzhou until the founding of the country of Houliang. It was not until the founding of the country of Longmen that it was rebuilt on the old site.

Mu Guiying asked: Can you tell me why no one excavated this ancient city?

Wang Huainiao laughed when she heard this: What should I do to dig it? Kaifeng Bianliang was flooded once as early as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Qin general Wang Ben went to destroy the Wei Kingdom. He was rejected by the Wei army and Wang Ben dug the Honggu. The water of the Yellow River flooded Daliang City for three months. After the wall was destroyed, the city was broken. The King of Wei came out of the city to surrender. The Wei Kingdom first destroyed the Honggu. The water of the Yellow River carried countless mud and sand, which raised the foundation, which was just in par with the Yellow River. If the former site was to be dug and rebuilt, I am afraid that the water of the Yellow River today would be high to the sky...

She Taijun nodded and said with a smile: You shrew, you have learned a lot of history with the princess in recent years. She turned to Mu Guiying and said: Guiying, there must be a reason for you to say something, why do you ask about this today?

Mu Guiying dared not hide it and said: My granddaughter-in-law has managed the water these two days, but she found the former Tang Dynasty city underground.

She was afraid that Taijun and his wife would worry, so she hid herself in the night visit to Pangjiazhuang and discovered the dungeon. She only said that she discovered it while controlling the water.

Wang Huainiao smiled and said: What's so strange about this? The ancient city is already under your feet!

Mu Guiying continued: Not only that, his granddaughter-in-law also discovered that this ancient city had been used by Master Pang...

Oh? Is this really happening? Taijun asked in surprise

What's the use of Master Pang holding the old city? Princess Chai also asked anxiously

Mu Guiying shook her head and said: This matter is hard to say...

Taijun said: Guiying, it’s all about their own family here, but you can say it’s okay!

Mu Guiying said: The granddaughter-in-law suspected that the Grand Tutor was stationed in the underground, and there was suspicion of rebellion!

What? As soon as this statement came out, not only Taijun, but all the wives and ladies were shocked

Since this is the case, we should report to the emperor quickly and take precautions early! Taijun said

Mu Guiying said: This matter should not alarm the emperor for the time being! His granddaughter-in-law just saw the people from the Pang Mansion stationed underground and built a city. He did not see the traces of the army. Therefore, he has not yet obtained enough evidence to prove the Grand Master. If he submits a rash remark, he will definitely be bitten by the Grand Master.

Then Guiying, what good method do you have? Taijun asked

According to my grandson's wife's opinion, I should search around these days and find out the tangible evidence of the lord in order to prove the lord! Mu Guiying said

Taijun pondered for a moment and sighed: Pang Ji is a cunning and vicious person. Now his daughter is a concubine. The loyal Hu family, who has the power of the sky, has been found an excuse for him. My Yang family has been destroyed again in the past. Today, my Yang family is a male wither. He should have avoided his sharpness and slowly thought about what Guiying said, which is related to the rise and fall of the world. How can my Yang family sit and watch? Even if he fights for a family and a person dies, he will fight the old thief to the end! At the beginning of today, both men and women, all over the Yang family must practice placing troops, swords, guns, swords and sticks to prevent accidents! Guiying, then the evidence of the Taishi's garrison will be left to you to handle.
