The rumbling explosion shook the earth!
This sudden scene caught everyone off guard.
No one expected that the mountain behind would suddenly explode. The explosion caused the earth to shake and instantly swept up everyone at the foot of the mountain.
Caught off guard, countless people were killed and injured.
The rocks rolled down, almost burying the entire back mountain. The broken stones flew all over the sky, accompanied by dust, covering the entire sky and earth.
Those who didn't have time to escape were instantly injured and buried by the falling boulder.
For a moment, there were screams and wails.
Not far away at the foot of the mountain, Lin Qingqing got up from the ground in a panic.
Her face was pale and she looked ahead in horror. Her whole body was a mess and there were many wounds on her snow-white skin, making her look extremely creepy.
His hair was disheveled and his breathing was rapid, obviously he had suffered minor injuries.
Just now, a strong sense of uneasiness and danger surged into her heart. She almost immediately sensed something was wrong and dodged in advance, but was still blown away by the aftermath of the explosion.
Fortunately, she had taken precautions in advance and used her internal energy to resist the impact of the explosion and the flying debris, so she only suffered minor injuries.
But other people around were not so lucky!
The sudden explosion enveloped the entire foot of the mountain. Almost everyone near the foot of the mountain was buried by falling rocks, resulting in heavy casualties.
Whether it was the Wang family's guards near the back mountain or the Crown Prince's personal troops, they all suffered heavy losses. Wailing cries echoed from all around, and many people were crushed to death by boulders before they could escape. The air was filled with the smell of blood and dust.
Lin Qingqing struggled to get up and looked forward. As the dust in the air gradually dissipated, the scene in front of her gradually appeared in her eyes.
The next second, she looked horrified.
There was pitch black in front of my sight. Under the dim light of fire, the entrance of the secret room in the distant back mountain was covered and buried.
No, that's not right!
It's not just the opening of the secret room, it's the entire back mountain!
Lin Qingqing suddenly realized that it wasn't just the secret room, but the entire back mountain... was completely buried?!
The secret room is blocked?!
An ominous premonition came to her mind. Lin Qingqing didn't care about the injuries on her body. She immediately stepped forward quickly, staggering among the huge rock fragments and ran to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, countless figures were dead and wounded, and not far ahead, many black-armored figures were lying dead on the ground. Seeing this scene, Lin Qingqing felt a surge of sadness in her heart.
These people were all members of the Crown Prince's personal army, and most of them were people she had grown up with and knew well. Now, they were buried here.
However, Lin Qingqing had no time to be sad at this time. She quickly ran to the door of the secret room in the back mountain. When she saw that the door of the secret room was completely submerged by huge rocks, she suddenly felt cold all over and froze in place.
Lin Qingqing's face looked extremely ugly. When she thought of a certain possibility, she felt like she was falling into the abyss.
Palace, His Highness is still inside!
“Qing, Qing…”
At this moment, an extremely weak and trembling voice came from the side.
Lin Qingqing suddenly turned her head and saw a familiar figure lying on the ground not far away.
"Lin Kong?!"
Lin Qingqing stepped forward quickly.
At this moment, Lin Kong's clothes were torn and stained with blood. He looked miserable and his face was pale. He was seriously injured.
"How are you?"
Seeing him like this, Lin Qingqing hurried forward and asked.
"I can't die."
Lin Kong's face was pale and his breathing was weak. Fortunately, his martial arts skills were not weak, so although his injuries were serious, they were not fatal.
"What the hell is going on?"
Lin Qingqing's face was extremely grim: "What happened? What's the situation in this secret room?"
"I, I don't know either."
Lin Kong looked up at the collapsed and flooded secret room, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Just now, he was ordered to go and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But not long after entering, he felt something was wrong and a premonition of danger surged in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, the secret room shook violently. Lin Kong immediately turned around and retreated, and successfully escaped at the last moment when the secret room in the back mountain collapsed.
Even so, the violent shockwave from the explosion still severely injured him. If it weren't for his strong internal strength that helped him withstand the blast, he would have been blown to pieces on the spot.
Now that he had saved his life, he was filled with fear.
"What's going on in the secret room?"
Lin Qingqing asked.
Lin Kong spoke in a hoarse voice, "The secret chamber collapsed... I barely escaped death, and many of my brothers who accompanied me were buried inside..."
"I'm afraid this isn't an accident, it's man-made!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qingqing staggered, her face turned pale, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Her voice was trembling, her face was pale and terrified.
Your Highness, you are still in the secret room.
If this secret room collapses, doesn't that mean...
His Highness is buried in there?
Lin Qingqing looked up at the collapsed chamber behind her, her hands and feet cold. If he was really buried in there, could His Highness still survive?
The answer is self-evident!
It was almost a life-or-death experience!
Your Highness, Your Highness is dead?!
As soon as this thought came to mind, the dazed Lin Qingqing reacted instantly.
"Impossible, Your Highness will not die, Your Highness will definitely not die!
Lin Qingqing suddenly raised her head, gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Someone, come quickly!"
At this moment, there were countless casualties around, but under the cover of night, several figures still gathered together.
Although the prince's personal army, clad in black armor, suffered heavy losses in this violent explosion, there were still many of them alive.
Lin Qingqing looked at the remaining soldiers of the prince's army in front of her, her eyes swept across their faces, and she said in a firm and decisive voice: "Fire flares, asking for help!"
The losses were severe, and the remaining manpower was far from enough. They had to seek help as soon as possible. Besides those outside Xunyang City, there were still many of their troops inside, and they had to be transferred here as soon as possible.
"call out!"
The flare exploded in the air, illuminating the dark night!
At the same time, Lin Qingqing continued to issue orders: "Leave some people to rescue the injured and surviving companions, and the rest of you follow me and prepare to dig the mountain!"
"Rescue His Royal Highness!"
“…”
Late at night, outside a private residence.
Wang Changjin and his nephew Wang Qin stood on the top of a distant mountain, looking at the flames and the wailing and screaming below.
Wang Qin's eyes were filled with excitement, and he said in disbelief, "Second Uncle, you actually have this hidden trick up your sleeve?!"
"Great! Now that the secret room has collapsed and been buried, all those who knew the secret are dead. The secret in the secret room no longer exists. No one has evidence that can threaten our Wang family's status!"
Wang Qin was extremely excited!
He witnessed with his own eyes the entire secret room in the back mountain collapse, burying all the evidence and people.
In this way, all the evidence he had previously confessed became blank confessions, without any threat. This also meant that he and the Wang family were safe.
"Second Uncle, you are simply amazing!"
Wang Qin couldn't help but express his surprise and praise.
However, Wang Changjin looked at the scene with a heavy face and could not feel happy at all.
"This time, we also suffered heavy losses!"
His voice was very low. This action would hurt the enemy by 800 and hurt yourself by 1,000!
He had made this preparation since the construction of the secret room in the back mountain. If any accident happened one day, he could completely wipe out the secret room in the back mountain.
But he absolutely didn't want to take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.
The secrets and people in the secret room in the back mountain were completely destroyed with the collapse. But at the same time, their Wang family also suffered heavy losses.
Over the years, everything they left in the secret room was also burned.
This time it was enough to severely damage the Wang family, and it was unknown when they could recover.
More importantly...
At this moment, Wang Changjin was concentrating on looking at the mountain in the distance.
"call out!"
The shrill signal fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, and the shape of the fireworks was reflected in Wang Changjin's dark pupils.
His heart suddenly sank: "I'm afraid this time, it won't end well!"
"The Wang family is in danger!"
The secret room in the back mountain collapsed, burying the Prince of Lin.
The Prince of Lin died here. Even if there was no evidence, how could the Prince of Linzhou let it go?
This time, the Wang family has completely broken off relations with King Lin. It goes without saying what the Wang family will face next.
"Let's go."
Wang Changjin spoke in a low voice.
While the Prince Lin hasn't reacted yet, they need to make plans as soon as possible. Whether the Wang family can escape safely this time depends on the next operation.
…
The violent explosion caused the earth to shake, tinnitus and dizziness.
Back mountain, outside the secret room.
Lin Jiangnian looked at the kite in his arms and his heart sank.
The kite has been seriously injured!
At the moment of the explosion, Zhiyuan stood in front of him and blocked most of the impact of the explosion for him.
Lin Jiangnian was safe and sound, suffering only some minor injuries.
But the kite in his arms was already seriously injured.
The torn clothes and the once snow-white and smooth back were in a horrible state. Zhiyuan's face was pale, blood was spitting out of his mouth, and his breathing was weak.
The scarlet blood soaked the clothes of both of them.
"How are you?"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were solemn and his tone was extremely anxious.
He grabbed Zhiyuan's hand and soon realized that her internal energy was in disorder. The almost out-of-control internal energy was running rampant in her body, and she was in imminent danger!
Internal injuries were equally serious.
The violent impact might even have injured her internal organs.
"No, nothing..."
She opened her eyes with difficulty, as if she wanted to say something, but she had no strength left.
"It's already this late, are you still okay?"
Lin Jiangnian said in a deep voice: "Stop talking, let me check your injuries first!"
Lin Jiangnian looked around, took off his coat, simply bandaged her wound, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured out two pills.
"This is a pill for treating trauma, swallow it first!"
Lin Jiangnian brought the pill to Zhiyuan's lips, but she no longer had the strength to swallow. He forced the pill into her mouth and tapped her throat, allowing the pill to slowly slide down her throat.
After doing all this, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief: "We have to leave here quickly and find a place for you to heal your injuries!"
This time Zhiyuan was injured while saving him, and Lin Jiangnian couldn't just sit back and watch.
Lin Jiangnian picked up the kite and looked around.
If nothing unexpected happened, they should be on the other side of the hill behind the private residence. The situation at the private residence was still unclear, and Zhiyuan's injuries were serious, so there was no time to delay. Lin Jiangnian briefly considered the matter, then carried Zhiyuan on his back and headed towards the dark path on the other side.
…
early morning.
A ray of sunlight slowly emerged from the horizon.
Private residence, entrance to the secret room in the back mountain.
The smoke from the explosion had dissipated, and the hazy morning mist was filled with a hint of blood.
The entire area at the foot of the mountain was a horrible sight.
Countless horrific corpses were found lying in the wilderness, with debris flying everywhere and the scene in a mess.
Just at the foot of the mountain, there were several figures gathered at the door of the collapsed secret room, holding various tools and digging into the collapsed secret room.
As the rubble outside was cleared away, the door to the secret room appeared before their eyes. However, the next second, everyone's heart suddenly sank.
The gate had long been blocked and buried by rolling stones, making excavation extremely difficult. It was even possible that the entire secret room had been buried.
The secret room in the back mountain is extremely huge. If they want to dig it out completely, it means almost hollowing out the entire mountain. It is extremely difficult for them to do it alone!
Thinking of this, many people felt despair!
Not far away, Lin Qingqing, who had not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes, but she was still staring at the secret room in the back mountain. When she heard the news, she staggered and her face turned pale.
She didn't dare to face the news.
His Highness is buried in a secret room. Is there any possibility of survival?
Disaster!
It's very difficult!
Reason told her that His Highness was almost certain to die.
But she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
How could His Highness die?
His Highness hadn't yet gone to the capital to marry the Princess, his Highness hadn't yet mastered martial arts, and hadn't yet taken over the prince's duties. How could he die here at such a young age?!
No, impossible!
His Highness must not be dead!
His Highness must still be buried in the secret room, waiting for her rescue.
She must quickly dig up the mountain and rescue His Highness!
Since there are not enough people, let’s transfer more people!!
Lin Qingqing's eyes were red, and she said in a deep voice: "Someone come!"
A soldier in black armor stepped forward.
Lin Qingqing took out a token from her waist and handed it to the man, saying in a deep voice, "Take the token and mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized in Yanzhou. Anyone who dares to disobey will be executed on the spot!"
This token was handed to her by Sister Zhiyuan before she left. It is a token that can mobilize available troops in the Daning Dynasty at critical moments. It must not be used unless absolutely necessary!
But now, it is the last resort!
"yes!"
The black-armored figure left in a hurry.
Lin Qingqing was left standing there, watching the scene expressionlessly.
This is definitely not a coincidence!
The collapse of this secret room must have been caused by human beings.
She must find a way to rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible.
Even if it means flattening the entire mountain, it would be worth it.
if……
If His Highness really has already...
Lin Qingqing's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.
If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!
If His Highness really dies, the entire Wang family will have to be buried with Him.
Not only the Wang family, all the forces related to the Wang family will not be able to escape!
Everyone must die!!
