Dafeng's Night Squad

The “female thief” in the night suit looked around vigilantly for a while, then lowered her head and bent her waist before burrowing into the dark hole.

In the darkness, she let out a light breath. Sparks flew and a cluster of flames burned quietly.

The match emitted an orange glow that dispelled the surrounding darkness. She raised the match and looked at the cave wall. The traces of man-made excavation were very obvious.

The black-clothed woman’s free hand reached to her waist, where a short blade was attached.

The short blade was slowly unsheathed without making any sound. The fiery glow illuminated the blade, making it appear pitch-black and devouring the light.

This weapon was called ink tooth. It was made of black iron and the fangs of ink scale beasts. It took a month to make and was one of the most proud works of Song Qing, the Directorate of astronomy.

In addition, the great formation master yang qianhuan had personally inscribed a formation for mo ya, making him one of the most powerful magic tools under the peerless divine weapon.

Ink Fang had three formations. The first one strengthened the blade, making it sharper and able to cut through iron as if it were mud.The second layer was to enhance the blade’s toughness, so that even a fourth-grade martial artist would not be able to damage it easily.The third level was short-distance teleportation. It came and went without a trace, extremely suitable for close combat.

The Woman in Black held a match in one hand and held her ink-black teeth in the other as she walked forward slowly.

Along the way, she didn’t encounter any ambushes. The tunnel of the cave wasn’t long, and it didn’t take long for her to reach the end, where there was a stone room.

The furnishings in this stone room were very simple. In the center was a stone plate that looked like a millstone. It was about twenty feet in diameter, and the stone plate was engraved with twisted runes that were densely packed. The stone wall was inlaid with many bowls of oil.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

The black-clothed woman carefully examined them for a moment, then walked around the wall, checking every bowl of oil. The bowls were covered in dust, and the lamp wick was dry. It had been a long time since someone had added oil to them.

Each bowl of oil could be easily picked up, and there were no mechanisms. He knocked on the wall and a heavy echo came, which proved that there was no hidden trap in the wall.

After a round of inspection, the black-clothed woman approached the stone plate. She knocked on it with extreme caution and was on high alert.

After a quarter of an hour, the match was completely burned out. She then blew on another match.

“Count Ping Yuan’s residence is a residence bestowed by the Emperor. The imperial family has strict specifications for building the residence, so they must have chosen the place with the best Fengshui. In the capital, what location was better than the Dragon vein? Therefore, this provided the possibility of earth escape.

“Li Miaozhen said that it’s difficult to cultivate the earth escape technique, and it’s impossible for both Ping Yuan and King Huai’s Secret agents to master this secret technique. Therefore, this stone plate is the earth escape technique’s teleportation array, and it needs a special technique to be activated. After it was activated, it would be transported to the corresponding place. Where could that place be? somewhere in the palace?

“When Hengyuan broke into the mansion in a fit of anger, count Ping Yuan must have thought of escaping into this tunnel and using the teleportation to escape. However, he did not succeed. Perhaps he would be killed by Hengyuan as soon as he opened the secret passage …

“However, Hengyuan knows nothing about anything else. It’s impossible for them to think of so many things just from a secret passage. Furthermore, it’s very normal to build a secret passage in a Noble’s mansion. But in … In his eyes, this was a huge flaw, so Hengyuan had to die.

“So far, my speculations have been verified and there are no mistakes. He didn’t know if Xu Qi ‘an hadn’t thought of it, or if he had just ignored it. For example, why does His Majesty periodically collect a batch of people? what does he use those innocent people for?”

The black-clothed woman fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she sighed and gathered her thoughts. She stared at the stone plate and memorized all the details for ten minutes.

Then, she quickly left the secret room with the fire starter in her hand.

18th of June, the beginning of autumn!

After the three Tributes, it was finally time for the Army to set out.

Early in the morning, Wei Yuan led a group of generals on horses and set off from the main road of the Imperial City, heading toward the military camp outside the capital.

“Ostentatiously passing through the city” was an indispensable process. In the past, the Golden roll and the expedition were all major national events, which had to be ostentatious and widely announced.

Wei Yuan was at the forefront of the group of hundreds of people. He was still dressed in green, and his hair was white. He looked elegant and handsome.

It was just like that year.

Both sides of the main road were filled with people. After such a long time of publicity and warm-up, the people had long accepted the fact that there was a war. They silently watched the team go out.

In the crowd, a white-haired old man stared at the blue robe and suddenly burst into tears.

“Father, why are you crying?

The young man beside the old man asked in confusion.

“Lord Wei, Lord Wei is finally leading the Army again ….

The old man held his son’s hand tightly, mixed with sadness and joy. “When father joined the Army, he followed Wei gongzi to Shanhai Pass and came back with him. In the blink of an eye, 21 years had passed. The Duke of Wei was still the same as before, but his hair had turned white. At that time, I remember that it was his Majesty who stood on the city wall and personally beat the drum to send off Duke Wei.”

His Majesty beat the drum … The young son’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Many of the older people saw the scene of the blue-robed monk leading the team and thought of the Battle of Shanhai Pass.

He thought of the God of War in great Feng and the blue-robed scholar who had suppressed the North vanquishing Prince in the past.

Especially for the old men who had once joined the Army, when they saw the scene of Wei Qingyi leading the Army again, they either burst into tears, or were extremely excited, or mixed with sorrow and joy..
