After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 362 Mechanism

"The princess is asking you a question! Speak now!"

The soldiers standing by pointed their swords at the manager, their faces stern, as if they were ready to execute him at any time.

The steward could only point his finger at that place and then said:

"That is indeed a mechanism. Turning it will open the passage to the cemetery."

"What else? Just open the cemetery passage?"

If you go further into the cemetery, you will indeed reach the end. There must be a mechanism, but she is not sure that the mechanism is just used to open the door!

Hearing this, the manager felt bitter and resentful. He just thought that this woman was so smart and how could she have thought of everything.

"There are arrows behind this wall that trigger it, and the arrows are poisoned."

This sentence instantly angered everyone. Several soldiers couldn't help but turned around and asked:

"Your Majesty, Princess, General, may I ask for permission to give him a beating? It will definitely not delay future matters."

"No, you can't fight!"

After hearing what the soldier said, the manager immediately cried out in pain. How could this be possible!

What if I beat him to death? What's more, he felt pain before I even hit him!

Unexpectedly, Shen Chenli glanced at it without saying anything and walked straight towards the lamp.

Yu Tingwan showed an impious smile on his face. He patted the soldier on the shoulder and followed Shen Chenli to the lamp.

General An Yuan snorted coldly and waved his hand to indicate that it was casual.

People like this will die sooner or later, so it's nice to beat them up now to vent your anger.

Seeing that their masters didn't care, a group of soldiers immediately rubbed their hands in preparation, and smiled slyly at the steward who was surrounded by them.

“No, no, you can’t…Ahhhhhh!”

"Um!"

After a while, the steward's muffled screams were heard from the empty tomb passage.

"Strange, if it was really a trigger mechanism, then how did Liu Mian avoid it? Moreover, isn't this a one-time thing?"

"Disposable?"

General An Yuan looked at Yu Tingwan in confusion. He found the word new. He could understand it easily at once, but the word "disposable" was really new to him!

"Perhaps this mechanism is not triggered once, but multiple times. There are many arrows inside, but they can only be used once."

Shen Chenli's words were a bit difficult to understand, but they were easy to understand. He could continue to ask this question to the manager who had been beaten to the point of having no strength left.

It finally stopped. The manager felt pain all over his body and had a huge dark circle under his eyes. It was obvious that he was punched!

"Every time this mechanism is triggered, an arrow will be shot out. I don't know how many arrows are in it. I know that Liu Mian has been here five times in total, and there have been arrows every time."

Yu Tingwan narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked, "How does Liu Mian avoid these arrows every time he comes?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the manager shuddered instantly and hesitated, not daring to speak.

"Say!"

The soldier behind him punched him in the waist again, causing him to grimace in pain. He did not dare to hesitate any longer and quickly said:

"Every time he comes, he brings a group of people with him, and then lets them..." The steward felt more and more guilty as he spoke, and in the end, only Mosquito was left.

"Be a meat shield!"

In an instant, all the soldiers started punching and kicking without waiting for Shen Chenli and the others to get angry.

This is really intolerable, using civilians as human shields?

Sure enough, the princess was right to deal with him in advance. Once he used the people as human shields, it would bring them great trouble and make them feel helpless.

Even those common people would be killed by him in large numbers!

"Ah, don't hit me, don't hit me, this is all Liu Mian's fault! It has nothing to do with me!"

Upon hearing this, a soldier couldn't help but speak directly:

"It has nothing to do with you? Do you dare to say that you didn't know about it? You didn't give any advice?"

The steward was silent for a moment, then said guiltily: "No, I didn't give any advice! He is the county governor, and I am just a small steward in his mansion. There is nothing I can do!"

At the end, the person in charge actually sounded righteous, which made people very angry!

"Bullshit! If you didn't come up with the idea, why would you feel guilty? Besides, how could someone who was brought to this place by Liu Mian and still alive be a good person? He must be in cahoots with him!"

"Brothers, why waste your time talking to him? If you keep on beating and harming the people, I'll beat you to death!"

In an instant, another round of screams rang out.

Yu Tingwan looked at Shen Chenli who had an unhappy expression on his face, reached out and gently held his hand, and felt his hand trembling slightly.

He was indeed trying hard to hold himself back from beating up the person in charge.

"Let's open this stone door first, and we'll deal with the rest when we get back."

Anyway, this person will not be alive!

Shen Chenli nodded slightly, and then General An Yuan waved his hand for everyone to stop and prepare to open the door.

"My Lord, Princess, please stand back."

Knowing that there were hidden weapons here, they had a plan in mind, but the prince and princess could not stand in front.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Yu Tingwan waved his hand and said, "Open it quickly. This thing can't kill us."

General An Yuan was also somewhat aware of the princess's stubbornness. Seeing that the prince had no intention of stopping her, he had no choice but to use the mechanism.

He also winked at the soldiers around him, asking them to come immediately if there was anything!

Everyone nodded imperceptibly, which made Yu Tingwan laugh. However, he was mentally prepared and stared at the stone gate not far away.

Click, click!

The sound of the mechanism turning was heard, and everyone looked at the stone door not far away with serious expressions. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound, and then it slowly moved upwards, and the situation on the other side of the stone door gradually became apparent.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Sure enough, the door had just been pushed up only a quarter of the way when the sound of arrows came quickly. Shen Chenli swung his sword to knock down the arrow in front of him.

Another row of arrows followed closely behind. Yu Tingwan quickly pulled out the Tang sword from the space and chopped down all the arrows.

There were four rounds of arrows in total. After the two men shot down all the arrows, the tomb passage finally became quiet.

Everyone was speechless at the scene in front of them.

There were corpses all behind the door, but no bones. Some of them had already rotted and were full of maggots.

"Liu Mian has been in office for less than two years, and he has killed so many people. Didn't anyone notice?"

General An Yuan punched the steward, glared at him and lifted him up!

The manager trembled and said, "He, he always said he was taking people to mine, but mining! It's normal to have no news for a year or two!"

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly became furious again.

"This beast!"

Looking at the bodies of the civilians, Shen Chenli's eyes were red as he spoke: "Go back and ask someone to bring them back, and let the civilians claim them!"

"Yes! Your Majesty."

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment and no one spoke anymore.

Shen Chenli took a deep breath, reached out and held Yu Tingwan's hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Keep going!"
