Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

He carefully covered up the hole in the key.

Putting the key back into his bosom, adjusted his mood and facial expression, hummed a little tune, and walked out casually.

This time he didn't dare to go into a strange place alone again.

In the secret passage last night, someone who lacked eight lifetimes of great virtue stomped on it and almost buried himself alive.

He needs to find a helper.

When it was getting late, he took the only remaining Tai Ji hidden stake on the mountain and returned to his big tile house.

"The situation is like this. I have the key and tried it. There is no mistake. Let's see if it will be you or me in the middle of the night?"

Wang Chen humbly asked the opinion of this Tai Ji hidden stake, he did not dare to make decisions on his own.

The situation last night really frightened him. Once he was almost buried alive, and the other time he almost fell off a cliff.

"At night, you keep watch outside, and I'll go in and take a look."

This Taiji hidden stake tapped lightly on the wall a few times.

Then follow a certain route and tap to the right bit by bit.

After a while, he straightened up.

"It seems that the secret room is outside. This is just an entrance. I'll come back at night."

Wang Chen nodded heavily.

"This big brother has been together for so long, and he still doesn't know your name."

This Tai Ji hidden pile gave Wang Chen a meaningful look.

Wang Chen smiled awkwardly.

"I know you have a lot of rules, but anyway, we can be regarded as life-and-death friends, so we don't even tell our names?"

He knew very well that Taiji's people were cautious in every way, especially the secrets of going out to work, and would not reveal any news.

This is a group of people who simply don't exist.

Any inadvertent news may ruin their lives, and may even harm their families.

"I am the second child at home, so I can just call him Erlang. You are all noble people, so you don't need to remember our names."

As he said that, Erlang smiled and said: "It's better to say less, because what you say is often wrong, see you tonight."

Wang Chen grinned, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Those who can enter Taiji must be outstanding in a certain field.

There is no doubt that they will not have any future at all in this life, especially those who have been cheated.

They all want to use their lives to fight for a good future for future generations.

In comparison, people like myself are really living a relaxed life!

They have wronged themselves enough these past few days, but to them, it might just be ordinary daily life.

Wang Chen felt emotional, and after sending Erlang away, he closed the door, took out the red key, and looked at it carefully.

"What a bunch of lifeless guys"

he muttered.

I don't know if I'm talking about the hidden stakes of Taiji, or about the poor bandits on Mabu Mountain.

That night, Erlang came to the big tile house.

Wang Chen successfully opened the entrance to the secret room.

After Erlang went in, Wang Chen stood at the door and looked out the window nervously.

This secret room must have been built by that kid surnamed Bai.

It's not that he looks down on the former owner of Mabu Mountain.

It's true that bandits like them don't have the brains to build a secret room.

If the boy surnamed Bai ran over to enter the secret room to take a look at this time, it would be all over.

When a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will stuff his teeth.

Not long after Erlang entered, Wang Chen was horrified to find that the boy surnamed Bai was walking slowly towards this side with the support of several men in black!

"broken!"

Wang Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He hastily closed the door of the secret room.

"Could it be that he found out that the key has changed?"

After taking away the keys yesterday, he hastily forged a few, and changed them back in the morning while healing the boy surnamed Bai.

Wang Chen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the sweat dripped from his forehead.

"How to do how to do?"

He swallowed nervously.

He hid the red key under the bed and plunged into the bed.

At this time, we can only resign ourselves to fate.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

"The granary is on fire!"

Chapter 1710 This is a gap in knowledge and has little to do with IQ

There was a sudden chaos on the Mabu Mountain.

The grain depot is the lifeblood of the entire mountain. Now Dongting Lake has been wiped out by Yuezhou government soldiers, and the bandits everywhere have become rootless duckweed. It is equivalent to the entire mountain being surrounded by people, and there is no more room to escape.

At this time, if they ran out of food and grass, they would be completely finished. In a short period of time, they could not buy food at all.

In the past, there was a day without tomorrow in the mountains.

Who is going to think about what to do next?

If there is no food, go directly down the mountain to grab it, at worst, go to Yueyuezhou City to burn, kill and loot with the water bandits.

It wasn't until the boy surnamed Bai took over the power that they became aware of hoarding food and grass. Sure enough, Yuezhou City became a piece of iron barrels not long after.

How dare the grain merchants in the city sell them grain?

"Water! Water!"

"The water dragon prepared by the big boss in advance, hurry up and bring it!"

"Move everything around the grain depot quickly!"

"My mother!"

Countless bandits were tossed up.

It has to be said that the boy surnamed Bai did have the foresight. He specially transported a water dragon from Muzhou.

The water dragon belongs to the fire artifact of this era.

The earliest water dragon car was designed based on the water wheel for irrigating the fields.

Absorb the water source from the nearest river, rely on the kinetic energy of the water flow, and spray the water to the burning place.

The water pressure is naturally insufficient, but it is much more advanced than before.

After years of development, water dragons no longer have to be built around water sources.

Skilled craftsmen put wheels on the water dragon, and the water tank is as big as a small house, which is enough to extinguish ordinary fires.

In a building of the level of Daming Palace, at least hundreds of water dragons have been prepared in advance.

This kind of fire-fighting item relies on artificial pressurization to spray water into the sky.

The cost is naturally expensive.

But because the difficulty of production is not so high, all places are fully equipped.

The bandits hurriedly pushed the water dragon around the grain depot.

Wang Chen in the tile-roofed house watched helplessly as a stream of water sprayed into the sky and landed in the middle of the grain depot.

He is not a fool, of course he knows that someone is helping him.

It seems that the Taiji people are not telling the truth to themselves.

There may be far more than one or two people lurking on this Mabu mountain.

He got up from the bed and opened the door of the secret room carefully.

Erlang rushed out with a "whoosh", without saying a word to Wang Chen, and ran directly outside the house into the crowd fighting the fire.

Wang Chen stood there in a daze, and it took a long while before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly closed the door.

"My clothes seem to be a little too neat"

He took off his coat and trousers, and ran out after him, rushing into the crowd of firefighters.

The fire burned all night.

Including the boy surnamed Bai, everyone was disheartened.

In the grain depot, they hoarded enough grain to last at least half a year.

You know, there are a full 4000 people on Mabu Mountain!

How much food should there be for so many people to eat for half a year?

Looking at the burn on his arm, Wang Chen gasped in pain.

He went to the boy surnamed Bai, asked the doctor for some scald medicine, and applied it himself.

The boy surnamed Bai seems to have lost his mind.

He sat on the ground in a daze, as if he had completely forgotten the injury in his crotch.

"It's over, it's over"

Wang Chen's eyeballs rolled around.

"Isn't this a great time to go down the mountain?"

He immediately came to the boy surnamed Bai and knelt down on one knee.

"Young master, this subordinate has a good plan!"

The kid surnamed Bai suddenly raised his head, speaking concisely.

"Say!"

Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "The food and grass are gone, we can't sustain, and the remaining food may not be enough for half a month. At this time, the only way is to disperse the brothers, go to the city to buy food in batches, and then pass Transport it back to the mountain through a secret channel!"

The boy surnamed Bai gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"I know you have good intentions, but we have so many brothers, even if we enter the city in batches, people will find out. Liu Bai's cunning is beyond your imagination."

Wang Chen sneered in his heart, what kind of food is he doing for?

He just wanted to find an excuse to go down the mountain and escape for his life.

There is really no need to stay any longer.

As long as Liu San and that Mr. Hei returned to Mabu Mountain with their rescuers, their doom would have come.

In the final analysis, he came to the mountain to gather manpower so as to meet Liu Bai's request.

Now that the mission has been accomplished, what are you still doing here?

As for the secret room and the secret passage, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it. Anyway, everyone in Taiji already knew about it, and he couldn't get involved in the rest if he wanted to.

"Master Mingjian, my subordinates have heard that Yuezhou City is recruiting water thieves in Dongting Lake and giving them household registration. There are a total of 2 people. Our brothers sneaked in while they were entering the city. It will be too difficult!"

Wang Chen's mind was spinning quickly.

To put it bluntly, this group of children who grew up in Liu's family looked down on anyone, even the emperor was just a country bumpkin with great power in their eyes.
