Wu Feng sighed.

Four people were left guarding in the underground hall, while Wu Feng and Wu Fei continued tracking from the passage on the right.

This passage is very short. After turning a corner, there is a staircase leading upwards.

The exit at the top of the stairs was actually open, letting in a ray of sunlight.

Wu Fei stopped him and whispered, "I'll go up and take a look at the situation. If there's an ambush, you can anticipate it."

Wu Feng was about to say something, but Wu Fei said again: "Don't be sentimental! With your 3D cat skills, can you survive an ambush? Watch me."

After saying that, Wu Fei went up the stairs and went out from that exit.

Almost at the same time, two muffled sounds of people falling to the ground were heard from above.

Wu Feng hurriedly followed him, and just as he stuck his head out, a knife was placed across his neck.

Wu Fei looked at him with a smile.

"You..." Wu Feng saw two guards lying on the side, both of them had their throats cut. The tips of the two knives in Wu Feng's hands were stained with blood.

Wu Feng's heart almost stopped beating.

Before the Fengtang subordinates behind him caught up, Wu Fei put away his sword and complained, "You are too reckless. How could you rush out just because you were worried? Didn't I tell you to stay behind?"

Wu Feng heaved a sigh of relief, and crawled out with one hand on the ground, followed by Fengtang's subordinates. Wu Feng ordered two people to change into the clothes of the two guards and hide the body in the haystack.

Wu Feng looked around.

This seemed to be a storage room for firewood. Looking out from the half-open window, there was a yard outside. Through the wall of the yard, you could see a two-story building behind. There was no one in the yard, only sunlight.

"Let's go and see where this is." Wu Feng said.

The group quietly got out of the utility room.

There seemed to be a backyard outside the yard. Judging from the size of the garden in the backyard, this should be the residence of some high-ranking official, but there were no servants in the whole yard, and the weeds were overgrown in the yard, almost covering half of the rockery. There were guards in the main yard, and I think the man in black and Yin Shun were concentrated in the main yard.

Soon, Feng Tang's subordinates who went out to investigate came back and reported: "This is Mu You's general's mansion in Ganzhou."

"Mu You's mansion, no wonder it looks like no one takes care of it." Wu Feng said.

Wu Fei said: "It seems that Yin Shun is indeed in collusion with Mu You. The secret passage leads directly to the mansion... I wonder where the other road leads to."

"Yin Shun should be in the main courtyard." Wu Feng nodded, "I'll go check it out first to confirm their manpower."

Wu Fei said, "Be careful."

Fengtang is a branch that specializes in intelligence, tracking, and secret investigations. Wufeng is the leader, so his ability to secretly obtain intelligence is naturally unmatched.

Wu Fei arranged for everyone in Fengtang to search everywhere to determine how many guards were still in the mansion.

In less than a cup of tea, Wu Feng returned to the porch in the backyard.

"Attack immediately." Wu Feng said, "There are only a dozen guards. Now is a good opportunity."

Wu Fei nodded in agreement.

After confirming the defenses in the backyard, Wu Fei first sent out his men to assassinate or capture all the guards outside. Then he gathered them together and surrounded the main courtyard.

The Fengtang people launched an attack.

The guard nearest the gate was killed first. Wu Feng led his men to clean up the debris outside, while Wu Fei and the three best fighters rushed into the main hall.

The man in black in the room was panicked and tried to fight back. However, he was not a master and within three rounds, he was captured by Wu Fei, his jaw and limbs were dislocated, and he was tied up tightly.

The remaining guards in the house captured two people and killed two others.

"Where is Yin Shun?" Wu Fei put the blade in his hand against the neck of the man in black.

The man in black screamed in fear twice and looked towards the inner room.

Wu Fei handed him over to his subordinates, then rushed in immediately with two swords in hand.

The partition curtain was pulled open, and a person was sitting at the table in the inner room.

Wu Fei raised his knife: "Yin Shun?"

The man didn't respond.

Wu Fei thought something was wrong and immediately went forward to check.

There was a masked man in front of the table. Wu Fei took off the mask and saw that the man had a Western appearance, with blood coming out of all his orifices. He was dead and had a small bottle in his hand.

Wu Fei felt his pulse and found he was indeed dead. He sniffed the remaining pills in the vial and found that they smelled like the drugs they usually used to commit suicide.

After all the guards outside were dealt with, Wu Feng entered the main hall, took a look at the man in black who was unable to move, and then entered the inner room, where he saw Wu Fei staring at Yin Shun's corpse in a daze.

"Is this Yin Shun?" Wu Feng asked.

"Should." Wu Fei said.

Wu Feng ordered someone to tie up the man in black and bring him in.

The man in black had his joints dislocated and was grabbed again, his face distorted in pain.

Wu Feng asked him to look at the face of the dead Westerner: "Is this Yin Shun?"

The man in black nodded with a painful expression.

Fengtang's subordinate closed the black-clothed man's dislocated joint.

The man in black slowed down and said, "The one who just talked to me in the hall was him...Yin Shun."

"Are you sure?" Wu Fei asked.

"Yes." The man in black nodded.

Wu Feng and Wu Fei looked at each other.

"Where does that tunnel lead to?" Wu Fei asked.

The man in black knew that the situation was hopeless, so he answered quickly: "There are three roads. One leads to Pinghu Mountain, and one leads directly to the outside of the Great Wall. The exit is in Hufeng Hill in the south of Ganzhou."

Wu Fei signaled his subordinates to go back and deliver the message.

He then asked, "What are you discussing here?"

The man in black replied, "Master Yin Shun said that his shop was closed by the government. In order to prevent any accidents, he asked us to transport the last batch of gold and silver from the channel to the outside of the pass and bring them back to Tianzhu. But we just met up and hadn't set off yet, and you broke in..."

"Did you kill the guards in the tunnel?" Wu Feng asked.

"Yes. This is Yin Shun's order. He will not bring so many people back to Tianzhu." said the man in black.

"Who are you? What are you doing next to Yin Shun?" Wu Fei asked.

The man in black looked like a Han Chinese. "I am Yin Shun's servant. I handle all matters in the Central Plains."

Wu Fei did not ask any more questions. He did not know much about the whole matter, and would make a final decision after Gu Xu arrived.

The living people were tied together and the corpses were placed side by side in the yard. Wu Feng, led by everyone from Fengtang, began to search General Mu's mansion.

……

The subordinate of Fengtang who went back to report the news informed Gu Xu of what had happened.

Jing Yuanshou was extremely surprised when he heard this: "So fast?"

"They intend to escape, so they won't bring too many people." Gu Xu said, "I want to enter Ganzhou from that secret passage now. What arrangements does General Jing have?"

"Doesn't it mean that the secret passage also leads to the outside of the pass? It just so happens that our team also needs to go out of the pass to meet up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Let's go together." Jing Yuanshou said with a smile.

Gu Xu simply nodded, turned around and said to Wu Yan, "You take your men here to guard the miners and the captives. The county magistrate of Pinghu Town and Yin Shun are in collusion, so keep them under surveillance first and wait for Qin Zhaoyue to deal with them herself."

Gu Xu was a commoner and did not want to take the imperial official position privately unless necessary.

"Let's leave now." Gu Xu said.

Vixen... I don't know what happened to him.
