Chapter 137 Rescue (1)

"Grandpa, why are you so distracted? Is it because Rongrong is no good?" Just as Lin Ziping's heart was in his throat, a voice came.

Although her voice was hoarse, Hu Rongrong had left a deep impression on Lin Ziping, so the girl inside was undoubtedly Hu Rongrong.

How did she end up here?

"What was that sound just now?" the man asked.

"There's no sound at all. Maybe the people next door are just envious of Rongrong," Hu Rongrong chuckled, but her voice was hoarse, making her laughter sound somewhat strange.

"Haha, you once high and mighty rich girls, now you spread your legs and cling to me like dogs. Come on, little bitch, bark a couple of times, haha..."

The foul language escaping the man's mouth made Lin Ziping's fists harden.

What's the point of weighing pros and cons, what's the point of prioritizing the big picture? Garbage should stay in the garbage dump, and animals should obediently wait to be slaughtered.

He gripped the knife tightly, intending to rush in and finish off this beast.

"Who's there!" a voice called out.

Someone's coming!

Lin Ziping regained his senses. Now was not the time to play the hero. There was more than just Hu Rongrong here; there was also the group of girls outside.

In a flash, Lin Ziping took off running.

"Someone's come in! Grab him!"

The footsteps behind me grew closer.

Hurry up, hurry up, we'll be there soon.

In the darkness, Lin Ziping quickened his pace and quickened his steps, his panting echoing in his ears.

Suddenly, light shone in from the front.

Lin Ziping sprinted and leaped, taking three steps in one, and jumped out of the cave.

The footsteps behind him suddenly disappeared, but Lin Ziping's legs trembled uncontrollably, his hand holding the knife still shook, and his heart pounded wildly.

Leaning against the wall to catch his breath, Lin Ziping looked around and returned to the tower he had just been standing in.

Thinking about the situation in the tunnel, Lin Ziping quickly ran out to find someone to come in and help.

Just as I reached the door, I suddenly remembered Li Qiongying's words: "Are the people from the government considered reinforcements?"

Thinking back to Lao Huang and Shi Yong's deductions, is Gao Chi's person credible?

The world is never black and white; the most enduring relationship is one based on mutual benefit.

If neither side can be trusted, then neither should be trusted. They should check and balance each other. The most important thing is to save the people in the underground village.

Thinking of this, Lin Ziping quickly went out and asked everyone he met where Chen Feng and Magistrate Wei were, telling them that he had discovered the tunnel.

Although it took some time, the results were remarkable. By the time Chen Feng and Magistrate Wei were found, almost two-thirds of the people knew about Lin Ziping's discovery of the tunnel, and there were even rumors that there might be a treasure from the previous dynasty underground.

"Lin Ziping, you discovered the tunnel at the watchtower. Did you go inside?" Magistrate Wei asked.

Lin Ziping shook his head: "My lord, I am of limited ability and do not know what is happening underground. I dare not go in rashly, so I came to report to you two as soon as possible."

Chen Feng said, "You didn't go in, so how come someone is saying there's a treasure from the previous dynasty?"

"Your Excellency, I was unaware," Lin Ziping said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

He had been out for about 15 minutes and didn't know what was going on with Hu Rongrong. Although he was anxious, he still stared at Chen Feng and Magistrate Wei with his foolish but clear eyes.

“Since Commander Chen has made a new discovery by Lin Ziping, then arrange for someone to investigate and test the waters,” said Captain Xiao.

A sixth-rank official of the centurion was one rank higher than Magistrate Wei. As the saying goes, a higher rank can have a huge impact on a person's life. Chen Feng was also a close minister of the imperial court. No wonder Magistrate Wei was so polite to Chen Feng, even somewhat obsequious.

“Alright, in that case, let’s go take a look.” Chen Feng looked at Lin Ziping meaningfully. “Lead the way, Officer Lin.”

Lin Ziping quickly stepped forward to lead the way.

Before long, they arrived at the watchtower at the gate of the mountain stronghold. By this time, the area was already crowded with people. Upon seeing Chen Feng and Magistrate Wei arrive, the crowd made way for them.

"How is the situation here?" Magistrate Wei asked.

At that moment, Xiao Jiazheng was the closest person to the scene.

Xiao Jiazheng clasped his hands and said, "We've been here for about half an incense stick's time, and no one has come out. Our people dare not act without authorization."

Magistrate Wei nodded and looked at Chen Feng, saying, "Sir, what do you think?"

Chen Feng lowered his head and pondered for a moment before making arrangements: "Captain Xiao, you and this brother will take a team of highly skilled men to go in and check the situation first. Magistrate Wei, you will gather your men back and be ready to provide support at any time. If Captain Xiao does not send out any news within half a cup of tea, Lin Ziping and I will take another team in. Magistrate Wei will stay here to meet us. What do you all think?"

"Yes." Everyone present clasped their hands in a salute.

Then, Captain Xiao personally selected eight men, all of whom were his personal guards. Xiao Jiazheng also called two yamen runners. They quickly formed a team and headed straight for the entrance to the watchtower.

Lin Ziping breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this. Regardless of the outcome in the future, being able to take action now meant that half the battle was won.

I hope the girls below, especially Hu Rongrong, can hold on.

"Magistrate Wei, how many people haven't arrived yet?" The conversation between Chen Feng and Magistrate Wei could be heard.

Magistrate Wei glanced around and said, "They're mostly here. Old Huang and Shi Yong are still missing; they should still be inside the wooden pagoda. By the way, Lin Ziping, shouldn't you be inside the wooden pagoda with them?"

The remaining people all looked at Lin Ziping upon hearing this.

Lin Ziping's heart skipped a beat, and his scalp tingled.

Oh no! In my haste, I didn't realize that I had neglected my post.

Just as he was racking his brains to come up with reasons and excuses, Chen Feng said, "Let's talk about these things later. Lin Ziping, go and call those two over."

Lin Ziping clasped his hands in agreement and then ran towards the tower in the middle of the square.

"Quick, come with me!" Lin Ziping ran to the tower, pushed open the door, and shouted loudly.

Pushing open the door, I saw Lao Huang and Shi Yong squatting in the corner, startled by Lin Ziping's voice.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ziping asked as he walked towards the two.

Old Huang said, "We were just about to ask you what you're doing, why are you making such a fuss?"

Lin Ziping briefly explained his discovery of the watchtower, then walked to the two men's side.

"What is this?" Lin Ziping asked, pointing to a door with iron rings on the ground in front of the two of them.

This is exactly the same as the iron ring and gate found at the watchtower, except for the size.

Beneath the door of the watchtower lies a tunnel that connects to a group of girls' cells. Where does this door lead?
