Transmigrated into the prince's only daughter, and beat up the dignitaries in the capital with

The cracks in the ground extended in all directions, and the guards split up into small groups and wandered around along the stone walls.

The thieves and criminals who came to set up this stall were forced to run around like rats in a tunnel, holding their heads.

Those who paid money to enter the black market were not the targets of the royal guards. What the eldest lady wanted to find was the person behind the black market.

Jiang An and Jiang Si were separated deliberately just now, and these black market thugs were also involved.

The little girl always holds grudges, and she can't let herself be bullied for no reason!

People are constantly running out of the black market exit...

It was night curfew at the time, and the patrolling soldiers saw someone running wildly on the street and fired three arrows to warn him.

After three arrows, the defenders drew their swords from their waists, but they didn't expect more people to run out from the same direction.

By the light of the torch, he could vaguely recognize that these were the thieves for whom the government had posted a bounty...

"Take them all!"

"Send someone to report to the general, there is unusual movement here!"

After the two orders were issued, the soldiers defending the city stared at these "rats" with green eyes. These were all military achievements!

At this time, there was no one else in the crack in the ground, so it seemed a lot more empty.

Jiang An and others were standing at a fork in the road. Secret guards in black and personal guards in coarse linen clothes kept coming out from all directions.

They bowed and clasped their fists, blood still dripping from the long swords in their hands, "Miss..."

"Nothing was found in the passage. They were just ordinary thugs. Those who didn't resist were knocked unconscious and left there..."

"I have left secret guards at every fork in the road to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

The guard who replied waved his hand behind him, and someone came forward dragging a thug.

The man didn't look like he was beaten, but he looked terrified, as if he was very scared.

"My dear... ancestors!"

"I've said everything I need to say. I really don't know who the owner of this black market is!"

He bowed with both hands and begged for mercy, "I'm just a hired thug. The boss can't tell us what's going on!"

Qi Shanyuan stared into the man's eyes and asked, "The cracks in this black market are interconnected. How do you usually patrol?"

The thug quickly took out a piece of old silk cloth from his arms and presented it with both hands.

"The boss gave us the map, and we just need to guard the area we are responsible for."

Jiang Si took the silk cloth and first gave it to his master for his decision.

The little girl held the cloth between two fingers and spread it flat on the ground, sticking her butt out to study it.

Qi Shanyuan, Huo Changming and others also came over, with several heads crowded together.

Li Xingsang pointed to a location marked on the silk cloth and said, "This is the entrance. We will walk straight along this path after we enter..."

Huo Changming: "General Xie went to buy some wine here...eh?"

Now they finally realized what went wrong.

Four heads looked up, eight eyes all stunned, and they asked in unison: "Where are they?"

Wen Zeyu: So, does anyone remember that there are people like me?

"Ayawn!"

Xie Yunshan, whose face was stained with blood, sniffed and his brocade robe turned into a ball of mud.

He clutched the snatched sword in his hand and stood opposite a dozen masked men.

General Xie spat out blood and cursed inwardly, "That damn drunkard..."

"He'd better pray that I don't get out alive!"

How dare you lie to him? You must be tired of living!

……

Jiang An looked at his guards, "Didn't you see Xie Yunshan?"

The guard shook his head, "None of us have seen General Xie."

"An An..." Qi Shanyuan, who was still studying the map, called her.

The young master pointed to a blank spot on the silk cloth and said, "This is where we are standing now..."

"There should be another road here, but it's not drawn on the silk."

If the black market boss gave the thugs the same silk cloth, then this unpainted area must be hiding something that he doesn't want others to know!

The thug stretched his neck to look, then looked at the surrounding stone walls.

He was so frightened when he was dragged here just now that he didn't notice that he had never been here at all!

He hurriedly asked for credit: "I have never been here before!"

"In the past, there were wooden boards blocking the road and masked men guarding it, so thugs and people coming to the black market could not get close."

Jiang An looked deep into the crack. It was a downhill slope. The deeper he went, the deeper it got. He didn't know where it led to...

"Then let's go~"

She took a step forward with her short legs.

Jiang Si held a knife and followed his master.

The guards lined up and blocked the way in front of the young lady. This was mainly to clear the way, but also to prevent the young lady from disappearing.

The further down we went, the colder it got. Water vapor occasionally seeped out of the stone walls. There was deathly silence all around us and we had no idea how far we were from the ground.

Jiang Si's fingers touched the stone wall, and his brows knitted slightly. "There are sounds of fighting ahead."

"Eh?"

Jiang An pricked up his ears and listened carefully, with his round eyes wide open, "Why didn't An An hear it?"

Huo Changming scratched his head. He didn’t hear it either!

Qi Shanyuan knew that Jiang Si would not lie to the little girl, so he suddenly asked, "Could General Xie be in front?"

Just as he finished speaking, an arrow shot into the shoulder of the guard who was clearing the way.

It was really dark in the crack in the ground. The light from the torch was not enough to illuminate it. The sudden attack from the enemy made it impossible to defend against it.

The man was quickly dragged into the protective circle by his companions, and everyone looked forward and prepared for battle.

Jiang An pulled Qi Shanyuan and the others close to the stone wall, reducing the burden on their personal guards while also ensuring their own safety to the greatest extent possible.

The little girl's eyes fell on the guard who was shot by an arrow.

He gritted his teeth and tried not to cry out in pain, he broke off the tail of the arrow with his own hands, and stood up with one hand on his sword, his eyes still filled with murderous intent.

Jiang An's voice was very soft, "Si Si, can you find where it is?"

Jiang Si nodded, "Yes."

The light of the torch was reflected in her eyes, but it was hard to tell what her emotions were. "Then catch it and make it into a hedgehog!"

The little girl's unabashed protective behavior made the guards' eyes sparkle.

"Yes!"

All the guards extinguished their torches, and the ground was plunged into complete darkness...

The breathing sounds became louder and louder, and while the eyes could no longer see, the ears became extra sensitive, and I could hear the sound of the sword scraping against the stone wall, and the sound of the outer robe being cut.

"master!"

I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like only a moment, but also like a long time.

When Jiang Si's voice sounded, the guards used fire starters to relight the torches.

What appeared in their sight were the bodies of two men in black. They were wearing armor and masked, and their bodies were full of arrow feathers just as Jiang An had ordered.

Jiang An walked to Sisi, looked him over from front to back, and then continued walking forward with peace of mind.

The passage becomes wider as you go forward. Unlike the previous stone walls, there are obvious signs of artificial polishing on all sides, and there are some black stones scattered on both sides of the passage.

The guard picked up a piece and placed it in his palm to examine it carefully.

"Is this...Iron Stone?"

Ironstone is the raw stone mined from iron ore. Only after smelting can it be used to make fine iron for weapons and armor.
