"Hey, are you serious? You're not prepared at all." Chang Shan's face turned pale.
"We're going to Black Mountain? Is it that easy? "Ye Qing expressed her doubts.
"We'll know when we get to Dayuan Casino." Yan Li got up and opened the door. He stood at the door and watched the group of people about to take action. "There's a high chance of death on this trip. Those who regret it can still back out now, but once we enter Black Mountain, there's no chance."
"You do have some skills after all." Ma Guanshan gripped his Black Demon Saber tightly. "But don't get me wrong. We're doing this for His Majesty and the people of the empire, not for you."
Li Yong's face was gloomy. "Yan Li, you're only the provider of the plan. Once we enter Black Mountain, I have full authority. Remember this!"
"You still don't understand," Yan Li said lightly. "This is a battle that's already been decided. The process isn't important, and the outcome will be revealed in an instant. It's like a battle between masters. Life and death are only a fine line."
"You seem to be hiding something from us." Shen Liuyun raised his eyebrows.
"Nothing." Yan Li turned around.
"Wait. Tell us clearly before you leave." Ma Guanshan tried to stop him.
"I've said it before." Yan Li suddenly turned around, his eyes cold. "This isn't a game. If you don't have the resolve to risk your life, get out of here!" With that, he walked out.
Before the operation, as the nominal "leader" of this trip, his vague words made everyone feel like they were in a fog and planted seeds of unease in their hearts.
If dying could solve the problem, they wouldn't be afraid. But if their deaths were useless, and Black Mountain still existed when the sun rose the next day, then they would consider whether it was worth it or not.
"He's a robber," Chang Shan said after he had left, with an inexplicable meaning.
Li Yong said, "In less than four days, he found a clue about Heishan that the Judicial Department could not find for decades. It is hard to say his position. Is he still a robber? Whether he will be bribed by the Night King is still unknown. I suggest that after arriving at Heishan, all his orders must be carefully considered. We should unite ourselves so that we do not have to help others pay for their betrayal." His narrow eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a dangerous light.
"Commander Li is right," Shen Liuyun suddenly said.
Lianhai Changjin was very surprised. He did not expect that the first person to question Yan Li would be Shen Liuyun.
"You seem very surprised," Ma Guanshan whispered.
"I can sense that the relationship between you and Brother Yan is not ordinary." Lianhai Changjin said in a low voice, "Perhaps Brother Yan has some difficulties that are inconvenient for him to tell us. I thought that Mister would understand Brother Yan better than I do."
"That's just what you think." Ma Guanshan said disdainfully, "Even if they are husband and wife, they will go their separate ways in the face of disaster. This is a matter of life and death. Besides, even if Mister is not afraid of death, he is also worried about not being able to break through Heishan. What's wrong with being careful? Don't forget that Her Majesty is Mister's niece. Could she be closer to Yan Li?"
"You also think that Brother Yan is suspicious?" Lianhai Changjin asked in a low voice.
"There is no harm in being careful. This is a skill I learned on the battlefield," Ma Guanshan said lightly.
"That guy Yan Li is full of bad ideas. You can't trust him completely." Tang Sanghua sneered, "Don't tell me that you will trust a bandit so easily. Don't joke around! In fact, you have been guarding against him for a long time. It's just that you lacked someone to expose him. Now, he has exposed himself. Everyone, take off your hypocritical masks and be on guard against each other. "
She also followed Yan Li and left with him.
Lianhai Changjin suddenly realized that although Ma Guanshan and the others had ugly expressions on their faces, they were not angry at being wronged. This meant that what Tang Sanghua said was the truth.
Was he the only naive one?
Lianhai Changjin, who had always valued her friends, felt as if a heavy stone was weighing down on her heart.
…
Dayuan Casino. Of course, it was still open at this time. Yan Li and the others were brought to a spacious room. Lan Xiang had been waiting for a long time.
"Young Master Tang, have you thought it through?" Lan Xiang blinked. "While you still have time to think about it."
"Cut the crap." Yan Li said coldly, "Where is the Gambling King?"
"You can be arrogant now!" Lan Xiang was secretly resentful, but she did not show it on her face. "The Gambling King lives in seclusion. It's not convenient for him to reveal his location. So before I bring you there, I have to use some tricks. Is that okay?"
"Hurry up." Yan Li shouted impatiently.
Lan Xiang immediately waved her hand, and a few thugs dressed in black came forward. They covered the eyes of Yan Li and the others with black cloth, as well as black headgear. Then, they paused for a while, and the sound of a mechanism "Ka Ka" came from the room, as if some secret passage had been opened.
Under the guidance of the thugs, Yan Li and the others entered a secret passage, but not long after, they returned to the surface.
This was the smell of the streets. Had they returned to the surface?
After walking for a while, they were helped into the carriage.
The carriage traveled for nearly an hour, then stopped for a while. They seemed to hear the sound of the small gate of the city opening.
Was Heishan not in the city?
After traveling for half an hour outside the city, the carriage seemed to have turned around, heading in an unknown direction. After another half an hour, it turned around again.
After that, about an hour had passed. During this time, the carriage turned around countless times. After another half an hour on a very long flat road, the carriage finally stopped.
Yan Li and the others were escorted like criminals. Gradually, there was a pungent smell of blood. They could feel that they were going down.
"Stop." A voice called out to them.
They heard the sound of iron chains being pulled, and there seemed to be dust flying in front of them. In the rumbling sound, a heavy iron gate was opened.
"Hehehe, welcome to Heishan." An old voice resounded in everyone's ears. "Come, drink this and enjoy yourself to your heart's content."
The headgear was taken off. Someone brought a bowl to his mouth and drank an unknown liquid.
Judging from the taste, it was no different from ordinary water.
"Bring them in." After everyone drank it, the headgear was put on again.
This time, no one was using their hands to guide them. Instead, they were like criminals. They were tied up by a rope and were dragged forward, their feet moving involuntarily.
"Hey, don't you feel hot? There's also a very strange smell. "
A soft body leaned over. It was Tang Sanghua's voice. Her body had a faint orchid fragrance. Although it was very different from her personality, it was easy to recognize.
"Hmm, I think we're walking on a bridge. Under the bridge is not water, but lava. Judging from the heat, it should not be lower than 300 feet, so you don't have to worry, the bridge will not suddenly collapse." Yan Li said.
"So it's the smell of sulfur. No wonder it's so smelly … Ah, no, I'm not worried about falling!"
"Then what are you worried about?"
"I'm not worried. Isn't this a good opportunity?" Tang Sanghua lowered her voice.
"Opportunity?"
At this time, another excited voice leaned over. "Yan Li, now as long as we turn around and catch the guards off guard, then break out of the secret passage, won't we be able to locate Heishan? Isn't it much better than entering Heishan? "
It was Ma Guanshan. His voice was rough, which did not match his actual age.
"I also think that this is a good opportunity." It was Lianhai Changjin.
"You're too naive." Yan Li said calmly. "If this method works, why haven't the Judicial Department caught the tail of Heishan for decades? Master Li, why don't you explain the reason?"
"Don't give me orders!" Li Yong was very annoyed. "I've said, once we enter Heishan, listen to me."
Yan Li smiled. "Then you must have thought of a way to deal with the Gambling King."
"Even if we don't deal with him, I don't believe we can't find Ghost Thirteen with our strength." Li Yong said coldly.
"When the whole Heishan knows our purpose, how can we carry out this plan?"
Yan Li didn't wait for him to speak. He said, "We can give the command to you, but you must give us a convincing reason. You can't let us die, right?"
Li Yong's chest rose and fell rapidly. He gradually calmed down. "If we turn around now, we will definitely alert the enemy. The criminals of Heishan will escape, and then the second and third Heishan will appear."
That was the explanation.
Even if he was a first-grade martial artist, even if he was the commander of the Judicial Department, he had to bow down when he had to.
After crossing the bridge, the road gradually narrowed. It seemed to be a very long and wet passage.
After passing through the passage, they gradually felt like they were walking on mud. Occasionally, they could hear the sound of dead branches being stepped on.
After walking for half an hour, the hood was suddenly taken off, followed by a rope and a blindfold.
They opened their eyes in a daze. In front of them was a brightly lit entrance to a small town.
Yan Li looked up at the sky. The rugged rocks were like weak monsters. They were so thin that only skin and bones were left. It seemed like they were in a huge cave.
Everyone had mixed feelings. They had come in after all. It was hard to predict the future. They didn't know if they could see the sun tomorrow.
Since the bindings had been removed, Tang Sanghua looked around curiously. "This is Heishan?"
Her eyes suddenly fell on the ghost attendant who was leading the way. His empty eyes were really scary. She couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's your number?"
However, the ghost attendant didn't have the intention to speak. In other words, he couldn't speak at all. He turned around and led the way.
Everyone followed. Ye Qing lowered her voice and said, "The ghost attendant doesn't have a number on his body. Unless he admits it, how can we find him?"
"What time is it now?" Yan Li suddenly asked.
Ma Guanshan lowered his head and calculated. "We left at the eleventh hour. I'm afraid it's the eleventh hour now. The sun is already out. Why do you ask? "
"Look."
They suddenly found out that both sides of the main road of the small town were all kinds of dried fruits, vegetables, groceries, restaurants and so on. Except for the expressionless faces of the hawkers, it was exactly the same as a normal town.
Of course, because of the expressionless faces of the hawkers, this place looked even more creepy, like a street of ghosts.
It was the eleventh hour, but it was still dark. Even though they knew they were underground, they still couldn't help but feel creepy.
At this time, the ghost attendant led them to a restaurant. Tang Sanghua's eyes lit up. She suddenly pulled Yan Li and pointed to a stall on the right, "Look, it's a beef noodle stall. I didn't expect to see it here."
"Hmph!" Yan Li said proudly, "Didn't I say it before? That's coarse food that belongs to the lowly commoners. Be it me or my people, no one is allowed to touch it. It's an insult to my identity!"
"Ah?" Tang Sanghua was stunned at first. She quickly reacted and said pitifully, "Husband, I was wrong."
"Childe Tang, my master asked me to welcome you."
