C1676

Tang Yin was sure that he had not touched any of the mechanisms before, so there was only one explanation, and that was that Xiao Xiang was scheming something. But would she be so stupid as to want to blow herself to death? Tang Yin secretly shook his head, indicating that he could not understand.

He lowered his head and stared at the unconscious Xiao Xiang for a while, then slowly shifted his gaze to her surroundings.

Now that the torch had been extinguished, the two ends of the tunnel was blocked, and the interior of the tunnel was truly pitch black with no light at all. Even if Tang Yin had Night-vision Eye s, he could only see a limited distance.

He reached out and fumbled on the ground for a moment, then pulled out the torch that had been buried under the dust. Then, he reached into Xiao Xiang's embrace, took out her fire piston and lit it.

With the light shining, Tang Yin slowly stood up and walked towards the front of the tunnel. They had only walked for about ten meters when the tunnel was completely blocked by soil and gravel. There was no way out.

Tang Yin took a deep breath and shone his light back onto the spirit armor. Following that, he put his shoulder against Shi Dui, and suddenly hit him with force, causing a loud thud. The pile of rock and earth did not budge at all.

He shook his head with a wry smile and returned with his torch. After passing Xiao Xiang, he walked another ten metres, and the tunnel behind him was blocked by collapsed rocks and earth piles.

Tang Yin was still trying his best to hit his shoulder, but like before, the pile of rock didn't budge at all.

She and Xiao Xiang were already trapped in the tunnel that was tens of meters away. Even if their soldiers managed to find this place in time and dig the tunnel to get to the bottom of this, they would probably need at least two or three days. In such a long period of time, even if they didn't eat or drink, they would still be suffocated to death if they managed to survive.

If it was really Xiao Xiang doing this, then she must be crazy.

Tang Yin walked back to Xiao Xiang's side, then knelt on the ground and carefully sniffed with his nose that was almost touching the ground. He had been sniffing at the corner of the wall, and after pausing for a moment, he carefully swept away the dirt on the ground and examined it closely.

In the corner of the wall, there was a thin white streak of ash that extended to the two sides. It was the mark of a fire stick.

She carefully studied it for a bit and understood everything. Xiao Xiang did not go to the toilet at all, but took the opportunity to push herself away.

She really did it! Tang Yin was shocked and angry at the same time. In order to stop her from continuing her search, she was actually willing to perish together with him. This damned woman!

He pulled on Xiao Xiang's clothes unwillingly and peeked inside. The belt on his pants had not been undone yet, so there was no need to even mention the toilet!

He slowly put down Xiao Xiang's clothes and could not help but burst out laughing while laughing bitterly. He had calculated everything, yet he missed out on Xiao Xiang's determination, which resulted in him facing a situation where she was unable to advance forward or retreat.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Xiang, who had originally been unconscious, had unknowingly woken up. She sat up from the ground immediately, her two large eyes looking at Tang Yin with caution.

"What for?" Tang Yin was angered to death, he stared at Xiao Xiang unblinkingly and said: "The same question, I was just about to ask you!" As he spoke, he moved forward and neared Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Xiang trembled in fear. She smelled the approaching danger and couldn't help but to move backwards. Very quickly, her back leaned against the wall, and she had no way out. Tang Yin crawled in front of her, the two of them were so close, their nose almost touched.

"Why?"

"Wh ?" "Why what?" Xiao Xiang's heart was thumping hard, she felt that as long as she opened her mouth a bit, her heart would be able to jump out of her throat. She timidly looked at Tang Yin, who was just inches away from her, and her breathing became disorderly.

"Why the explosives? You want to drag me to die with you in the tunnel?! " Tang Yin clenched his teeth, and squeezed out one sentence from between his teeth.

"What explosives?" I don't know what you're talking about! " Xiao Xiang did not dare to look straight into Tang Yin's eyes. She turned her head and looked to the side, her little face stretched taut, pretending to be angry.

Tang Yin didn't give her the chance to avoid his gaze. He lifted his hand, pinched her small chin, and turned back so that she could meet his gaze. He then said with a sneer: "You don't understand? "You're still playing dumb with me!"

With that, he pointed to a corner and said, "The fire piston that detonated the explosives was ignited here, and you still dare to say that you didn't do it? Is that a ghost? "

Feeling the strength on Tang Yin's finger slowly increase, to the point where it seemed as though it could crush her chin, Xiao Xiang steeled her heart and threw caution to the wind. She suddenly swung her arm, opened Tang Yin's hand, and said angrily: "So what if it's me? The tunnel is filled with explosives. If one part of the tunnel was detonated, all the other parts of the tunnel would explode as well. Now that the tunnel has been completely destroyed, you can forget about ever going out again! "

"I finally admit it, it's really you!" Tang Yin put down his hands, retreated, and then sat down cross-legged on the ground. He said slowly: "Don't be too pleased with yourself, I can't get out, so don't think about getting out too."

Xiao Xiang tilted her head upwards, and said with a chuckle: "With Feng King by my side, my death could be considered to be worth it ?"

Before she even finished speaking, there was a rustling sound, and Tang Yin's sword was unsheathed. Xiao Xiang didn't even manage to see the situation clearly before the tip of the cold sword had reached her neck. Xiao Xiang almost screamed on the spot as she used all of her willpower to calm herself down. She curled her lips and nonchalantly said, "Do you want to kill me to vent your anger? "Fine, kill me. You can just stand here and wait for your death by yourself!" After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and assumed a posture of "kill as you wish".

If killing her could help him escape, Tang Yin would not hesitate to stab his with the sword in his hand, but now, even if he killed Xiao Xiang, it would be useless.

After thinking for a moment, he finally put away his sword and faintly said, "Even if I have to kill you, I won't let you die so easily."0

Xiao Xiang shivered, facing Tang Yin's cold gaze, she asked: "What do you want to do with me?"

Tang Yin smiled, but did not say anything. Pausing for a moment, he changed the subject and asked, "If my guess is correct, you must be that 'Mr Yu'?"

As matters stood, Xiao Xiang had nothing to hide. She pulled herself together and said with a smile, "It seems that you know quite a bit."

"How did you bribe Zhang Murong to listen to everything you say?" Tang Yin asked curiously.

"There seems to be nothing in this world that money can't do." Xiao Xiang said proudly.

Tang Yin was startled, and nodded his head. Xiao Xiang continued with a smile: "Zhang Murong's family members had already been sent by me to the Chuan Country. They were supposed to be protecting in name, but in reality, they were just being held hostage.

"Such a smart move!" Tang Yin sighed in admiration, and asked again: "For Chuankou County to invite so many adventurers, it must be the Chuan Country that provided them with gold and silver, right?"

"Of course! Spending this much gold and silver is nothing to the Chuan Country. " Xiao Xiang said: "Whether it's to your Chuan Country or to your Feng Country, Guankou City is very important. As long as you can obtain Guankou City, no matter how much gold and silver you spend, it would be worth it."

Tang Yin thought for a moment, then asked: "Ever since my army entered the Chuankou County, you have been using delaying tactics, why?"

Xiao Xiang shrugged her shoulders and said, "Because there are many things that needs to be done. It will take time to stock up the materials, food, and equipment that will be consumed in battle for a long time in the Guankou City."

"And dig this tunnel." Tang Yin helped her add: "With this tunnel, even if one's Guankou City is unable to store sufficient resources, they can still use it to obtain an endless supply of Chuan Country."

"Feng King is really powerful, you guessed everything right." Pausing for a moment, Xiao Xiang curiously asked: "When did you figure it out?"

"When your Chuan Army were collecting pots everywhere." Tang Yin said indifferently.

Xiao Xiang was stunned for a while, then suddenly patted his head and said: "So you have spies at the border, I forgot about that ?"

Tang Yin looked at the regretful Xiao Xiang, and asked seriously: "All that's happened at Chuankou County was planned by you?"

Xiao Xiang looked at Tang Yin's scrutinizing gaze and asked with a smile, "What? Does Feng King look down on me? "

"Not really, just incredible." If all of this was really planned by Xiao Xiang herself, then she could be considered the most astute woman she had ever seen, and also the most terrifying woman.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Could it be that you were planning to bury the explosives in the tunnel?"

Xiao Xiang was amused, and said: "There is no wall in this world that doesn't let through the wind, so of course I have to be prepared for you guys to discover the tunnel."

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, he suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Are there other exits in the tunnel?"

Xiao Xiang was startled. After a while, she slowly shook her head and said: "There is only one exit and one entrance in the tunnel. Where is the other exit?"

"Is that so?" A glint flashed across Tang Yin's eyes, and he said softly: "But seeing how calm the princess is, it doesn't seem like a normal person's reaction to a desperate situation!"

She thought that Tang Yin was sly, Xiao Xiang arrogantly raised her head and said: "I am not an ordinary person! Furthermore, aren't Feng King also very calm? "

Oh? Tang Yin rubbed his chin, his gaze moved up and down as he examined Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang was completely uncomfortable under his gaze. Even if she did not feel guilty, being sized up like this by a man, she would still feel awkward.

She said with dissatisfaction, "Does Your Highness not feel that it is rude to me when you see how Your Highness views me?"
