Chapter 495

And at this moment, looking at Gao Jianli's reaction, Wu Mian also curled his lips in boredom, and similarly chose to stand on the other side without saying much.

Just like that, he quietly watched General Chen begin to give orders and arrangements.

At the same time, after this stone split and cracked, the next moment, General Chen immediately took out a handful of powder from his bosom and threw it directly into the entrance.

The next moment, a slight sound was heard, and then a burst of smoke emanated from the entrance, with a faint yellow color highlighting its difference.

"What was thrown in just now is the antidote, specially used to neutralize the poisonous smoke and poison powder burned out last time."

General Chen looked at Gao Jianli and Wu Mian on the other side, and seeing their slightly curious expressions, he smiled slightly and explained.

"I didn't expect you to have such a trick; not bad."

Regarding General Chen's explanation, Wu Mian also smiled slightly and praised him casually.

However, regarding Wu Mian's existence, this General Chen just nodded.

Then, watching the yellow smoke gradually dissipate, he directly gave orders to the soldiers beside him.

"You immediately start clearing away the crushed stones at the entrance."

"Then go directly into the tunnel to explore; remember to tie a rope to your body; once a problem occurs, pull it toward this side."

After speaking, he stepped aside.

The next moment, the soldiers behind began to rush forward in an orderly manner, quickly surrounding this stone bed entrance.

Then they began to clear the stones.

Because the passage at this entrance was very inconvenient, only one person could enter at a time.

This also made the efficiency relatively low.

However, as time passed, these crushed stones were cleared away.

Afterward, the soldiers gradually walked inward.

They found that after a period of time, the internal space appeared a bit larger.

It was not as narrow as the entrance, which also made their actions much easier.

And upon learning this news, General Chen and the others were also happy in their hearts.

Then they began to urge them on, and in this way, the rhythm of this exploration also accelerated quite a bit.

Gradually, the sky turned dark, but there was no obvious change inside the mountain cave, and it still relied on torches for lighting.

And Gao Jianli, Wu Mian, and others still stayed in the two corners of the secret chamber, quietly watching everything happening before them.

As for General Chen, he was somewhat anxious in his heart now, because quite a long time had passed since the last batch of people arranged to go in.

Yet no news had come back, and for a moment, he was a bit worried in his heart.

577, Stone bed entrance, careless! (Seeking subscription!)

However, very quickly, a little movement came from the stone bed entrance.

"They are back."

The soldier responsible for receiving them at the cave entrance shouted excitedly.

And upon hearing this news, General Chen immediately showed a look of joy.

Then he hurriedly looked toward the entrance.

The next moment, a figure was seen rushing out from the entrance, and then began to pant heavily.

"Phew~"

"My lord, we have already found the exit of this tunnel; it is next to the county town at the foot of the mountain."

"That is a side entrance of the county town, and next to it is a commercial street."

After making some adjustments, this soldier was also very clear that he had a more important task to report at this moment, and then spoke.

"What? It actually went directly to Heihu County; no wonder we didn't block them at the foot of the mountain earlier."

Gao Jianli, at this moment, could not help but mutter softly.

You must know that Gao Jianli had previously been cooperating with the Huixian Grand General to carry out interception at the foot of the mountain.

Quite a few Blood Blade Sect high-level members who also hoped to escape through secret passages had all fallen into their hands.

But it just so happened that this group of people, the Blood Blade Sect Master, had actually escaped.

They even specially sent a team of people to wear their human skin masks and pretend to be dead here, which truly left a deep impression on him.

Now, upon learning the location where the other party truly escaped, which was actually Heihu County not far from the foot of the mountain, it truly made him feel surprised.

However, he was also somewhat relieved, because he was very clear that as long as this news was passed back, then this Heihu County would definitely not be short of an investigation.

However, just as Gao Jianli was thinking about this, General Chen on the other side began to ask again.

"Did you find any other traces at that exit?"

As he spoke, General Chen's gaze could not help but reveal a look of expectation.

And at this very moment, this soldier frowned, and then made an expression of struggling to recall.

"Around there, it seems like it had been treated; there were no traces left at all; if it weren't for the fact that I appeared there and confirmed the location of the exit—"

"—perhaps no one would suspect that there would be anything unusual there."

And after the soldier's words fell, General Chen on the other side faintly produced a trace of disappointment.

But very quickly, he regained his senses, then with a bitter smile, he looked at Wu Mian and Gao Jianli on the side and spoke.

"I think the two Lords must have already heard that the Blood Blade Sect Master has now appeared outside the city of Heihu County."

"Then it is very likely that he has already escaped from here; of course, it is also possible that he is hiding in Heihu County."

When he said this, General Chen paused, then spoke again.

"Next, I will immediately arrange for troops to report this important news to Lord Ying Mo."

"If the two Lords have any other instructions, you can arrange them together."

As he spoke, General Chen looked at the two people before him again.

However, at this moment, he found that both of them had fallen into deep thought, and for a short time, they did not seem to have any plans.

Then he directly arranged for his subordinates to start passing the news to Ying Mo.

Not long after, Ying Mo looked at the intelligence before him and immediately snorted coldly!

"Hmph!"

"I didn't expect this Blood Blade Sect to have such a tunnel; it seems I was indeed careless before."

Ying Mo said while falling into silence.

As if he were thinking about something.

"Lord Ying Mo, since he has already appeared near Heihu County—"

"—then taking advantage of this rare opportunity, we can just mobilize the army to search the entire city."

"In this way, the other party will definitely have nowhere to hide."

Upon learning the latest intelligence, Meng Tian beside Ying Mo directly suggested.

This time, regarding the Blood Blade Sect's operation, he had also heard about it.

Therefore, he was also very clear about how many troops were outside Heihu County, not to mention that Ying Mo had previously mobilized the army to take over Heihu County.

Once Ying Mo made up his mind to take action against Heihu County, it would also be quite easy.

However, at this moment, upon hearing Meng Tian say this, Ying Mo shook his head slightly, then spoke.

"That is not appropriate."

At this moment, Meng Tian, upon hearing Ying Mo say this, immediately stopped, and at the same time, revealed an expression of confusion as he looked at Ying Mo.

And on the other side, Ying Mo seemed to feel Meng Tian's gaze, and then explained directly.

"Right now, we can only determine that those guys from the Blood Blade Sect have indeed escaped to the vicinity of Heihu County."

"We are not sure if he is in the city; if we rashly take action to search the whole city, it will definitely cause quite a stir."

"At that time, if he is not really hiding in the city—"

578, Situation is not good, open to discussion! (Seeking subscription!)

"—once he notices that the situation is not good in advance, he will definitely escape from here directly."

When he said this, Ying Mo paused, then spoke again.

"Besides, even if he is really hiding in the city, such a large movement will definitely alert him in advance."

"If we don't have accurate intelligence to find the area where he might be hiding, then it is also possible that we will fail."

At this moment, after hearing Ying Mo's explanation, Meng Tian nodded immediately, as if in thought, and then spoke to Ying Mo again.

"Since that is the case, then what do you plan to do?"
