Chapter 271 Dare to touch her head
When the village leader saw that Feng Lieyang refused to answer, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
At this time, another villager whispered something in the leader's ear, and had Feng Lieyang and others taken away and locked up in a dim hut.
When Feng Lieyang was locked up, he saw some villagers running back the way they came. He immediately understood that these people should be going to the house to gather information.
Fortunately, the dead men in black had been dealt with by his subordinates who were left behind, and he also asked the remaining subordinates to return to the capital to report to Lin Congyun.
In the Second Prince's mansion, Lin Congyun, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up by the housekeeper.
"Second Prince, Deputy General Feng's men have urgent matters to report."
This time when Lin Congyun returned to the capital, he also symbolically arranged a position for Feng Lieyang.
Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun quickly stood up, put on a coat and went out.
"Tell me, is there any news from Lieutenant General Feng?" She looked at Feng Lieyang's men and asked anxiously.
"Second Prince, Lord Feng asked his subordinates to come back and report that a manor was found outside the capital, and there were a large number of men in black inside..."
After listening to this, Lin Congyun frowned and paced back and forth.
"Have you dealt with the bodies of those men in black?" Lin Congyun asked the subordinate.
"In reply to the Second Prince, everything has been dealt with cleanly, and no trace is left." The subordinate replied respectfully.
"Deputy General Feng, why didn't he come back with us?" Lin Congyun asked again.
"Deputy General Feng discovered a secret passage in the house and took people to investigate."
After hearing this, Lin Congyun nodded and said, "Take your people and go down to rest. I will follow you to the manor tomorrow morning."
"Yes." The subordinate responded and retreated.
Lin Congyun looked at the dark night sky with a solemn look on his face. He had a bad feeling in his heart, as if something big was going to happen.
However, she still forced herself to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and turned back into the house.
The next morning, Lin Congyun took his men to the farm.
The house was empty and unusually quiet.
Lin Congyun looked at the scene in front of him, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
She was taken to the secret passage again, and when she saw that the entrance had been destroyed, she felt a pang in her heart.
He immediately asked people to dig open the entrance to the secret passage. After the entrance was dug open, the people brought by Lin Congyun wanted to enter the secret passage immediately.
"Wait!" Lin Congyun stopped the man, "Don't go in yet, bring some dry firewood."
After a while, someone came over with dry firewood. Lin Congyun had someone put the dry firewood into the secret passage, and then had someone light a fire and throw it in.
A raging fire started burning, crackling sounds came from the secret passage, and an unpleasant smell filled the air. The secret passage was not very deep and it soon burned to the end.
Only after the fire was completely extinguished did Lin Congyun and his men go in.
The end of the secret passage was blocked by a stone door.
Looking at the stone door in front of him, Lin Congyun's face became extremely ugly. This stone door was clearly blocked from the inside.
Feng Lieyang did not return home last night, and the secret passage was sealed again. I'm afraid he is in great danger.
Thinking of this, Lin Congyun's heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Second Prince, could it be that Lieutenant General Feng and the others have met with an accident?" One of Lin Congyun's men looked at her and asked.
"Don't say that first. Let someone open this stone door for me." Lin Congyun looked at the subordinate and said in a deep voice.
The man responded and went to look for tools.
After a while, someone came over with tools and started knocking on the stone door.
The people brought by Lin Congyun took turns to attack, swinging the hammers and chisels in their hands alternately, but they were helpless against the stone door, like scratching an itch.
Sweat slid down their foreheads and dripped onto the cold stone surface, disappearing in an instant, leaving only mottled marks.
The air was filled with anxiety and helplessness, and the lingering smoke from the flames added a bit of depression.
Lin Congyun pursed his lips, staring at the motionless stone door with sharp eyes.
"Go on, harder!" Although her voice was soft, it revealed an irresistible force and echoed in the narrow passage.
Everyone mustered up their strength and put in all their efforts with every swing.
However, the stone gate remained indestructible.
As time passed, the only sounds in the air were heavy breathing and occasional gasps, besides the knocking sounds.
"Change the method, use fire attack!" Lin Congyun's voice sounded again, breaking the dull deadlock.
Soon, someone brought firewood and oil and piled them under the stone gate.
A raging fire burned again in the dark passage, and the firelight illuminated Lin Congyun's tense face.
The flames lasted for a long time, until the stone walls around the stone gate became scorching hot, and then everyone approached cautiously.
However, even though the stone door was burning hot, there was still no sign of loosening.
Lin Congyun's face became more and more ugly. She understood that there must be an unknown secret hidden behind this stone door.
"Dig, dig open the wall from the side!" Lin Congyun ordered decisively.
Everyone did not dare to delay and quickly started digging next to the stone gate.
As time passed, the secret passage was filled with a tense and anxious atmosphere.
Finally, with everyone's unremitting efforts, a small hole was dug in the wall.
Lin Congyun couldn't wait to get closer to the cave entrance. At this moment, the air suddenly froze, and a barely perceptible sound of breaking wind quietly broke the silence.
Lin Congyun instinctively dodged to the side. The movement was swift and precise, as if his body had reacted before his consciousness.
However, even though she reacted quickly, a sharp hidden arrow still whizzed past the tip of her hair and embedded deeply into the stone wall behind her, making a muffled "buzzing" sound. The aftershocks echoed in the narrow secret passage, shaking people's hearts.
There was a cold light flashing on the arrow, and the tip was still trembling.
"Be on guard!" Lin Congyun's eyes suddenly became sharp and he shouted in a low voice.
The men quickly dispersed, standing back to back, weapons tightly gripped in their hands, vigilantly scanning every possible shadowy corner around them.
The atmosphere in the secret passage suddenly became extremely tense; even the sound of breathing seemed to become heavy and clear.
Lin Congyun looked at the hidden arrow, then looked in the direction of the small hole, his eyes becoming extremely gloomy.
She was sure that there must be someone lying in ambush behind the small cave, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on them.
Thinking of this, Lin Congyun couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. She wanted to see who was so bold as to touch her head!
