Chapter 433: Not looking for the national god anymore?

"Wait a moment." Ji Chilian looked at the closed door of the secret room in front of him and said slowly.

The Jinyiwei was extremely anxious: "Sir, we can't afford to delay any longer! We have limited time!"

"It's blocked by a huge rock. We must use gunpowder to blow open this stone door. Otherwise, after so long, even if the Lord of the State could survive the explosion, he would be suffocated to death in this secret room!"

"Please think twice, Lord Governor. Nothing is more important than the life of the Lord of the State!"

"Master Du, you will kill the national god by doing this!"

Ji Chilian narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Jinyiwei: "Did you see with your own eyes that the national god was locked in this secret room?"

The Jinyiwei was stunned by the question and began to stutter: "This... Your subordinate, I have never seen it with my own eyes."

"If Princess Lianhe wanted to return Yi Qianhuan to us, she would not have kidnapped Yi Qianhuan from the beginning. Therefore, the person in this stone gate could be anyone, but not Yi Qianhuan." Ji Chilian's voice was cold, as if it came from a distance.

"Then we won't look for the national god anymore?" the Jinyiwei asked weakly.

"Idiot! Of course we want to find the national god, but we also have to find out why Princess Lianhe lured us here! We can't be so anxious that we fall into the trap prepared by the enemy in advance." Lin Tong came over and glared at the Jinyiwei with a look of disappointment.

The more Gao Ting listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and his admiration and respect for Ji Chilian reached a peak: "But Lord Governor, doesn't the Lord of the State need us to rush over as soon as possible?"

"She is the national god and the foundation of the country. If someone wanted her life this time, we would have found her body in that building. And the other party went to great lengths to take her away, so they must have other purposes." Ji Chilian stopped here and turned to look at the person coming from a distance.

They were two Jinyiwei dressed in black, and one of them was carrying a sack on his shoulder.

The sack was twisting constantly, and from the appearance it could be seen that there was a person inside.

"Let him out."

The sack on Shen Yaosi was untied and he finally saw the light of day again.

With his hands and feet still tied, Shen Yaosi adjusted himself to the surrounding firelight and soon spotted Ji Chilian in the crowd.

"Mmm, Mmm!" Shen Yaosi wanted to spit out the cloth stuffed in his mouth.

"Help Master Xiao Shen untie his bonds."

The ropes on his body were finally cut, Shen Yaosi spat out the cloth in his mouth, stood up, pointed at Ji Chilian's nose and cursed: "Bastard, I knew it was you!!"

"Master Shen is born into a noble family after all, so how can he speak so vulgarly? He has really let down Prime Minister Shen's teachings." Ji Chilian smacked his lips.

"Stop talking about my dad!" Shen Yaosi moved his wrist and looked down at the hideous scar on his hand.

Thanks to the careful care of Yi Qianhuan and Yi Mobao, his injuries have greatly improved, his life is no longer in danger, and he will not become a disabled person in the future.

He originally wanted to wait until after the festival to find Yi Qianhuan to thank him.

Unexpectedly, what he received was the news that Yi Qianhuan's whereabouts were unknown, and his life or death was unknown.

Shen Yaosi couldn't help but clench his fists and took a deep breath: "I know you called me here for the matter of the national god. Tell me, what do you need me to do."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Master Xiao Shen." Ji Chilian pointed to the closed door of the secret room and said, "Come here, use the gunpowder to blow this door open."

Shen Yaosi raised his eyebrows, and while the Jinyiwei were busy, he listened to Ji Chilian briefly explaining the cause and effect of the matter to him.

"Since Princess Lianhe is so suspicious, it is enough to prove that there must be trouble hidden in this secret room. Lord Governor, do you think that being dragged into this water alone is not enough, so you want to drag me down with you?" Shen Yaosi understood after listening.

Princess Lianhe went to so much trouble, she must have hidden some trap.

Ji Chilian knew it, but had to step on it.

So, the fox didn't want to bear the responsibility alone, so he called him over.

"It's better for two people to take the blame than one person." Ji Chilian had already plugged his ears with earplugs while speaking.

"Everyone stand back, the gunpowder is about to be ignited!"

Shen Yaosi took the earplugs handed to him by the Jinyiwei, put them in, and then stood next to Ji Chilian.

"Explode." With Ji Chilian's order, the gunpowder was ignited, and the loud roar made the whole mountain shake.

Thick smoke billowed, gravel flew everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder was almost nauseating.

A hole half a person's height was blasted open in the heavy stone door.

"Sir Governor, the stone door is too hard. We can only blast open a gap this big at the moment. Our people are now trying to chisel open the door. It will probably take at least an hour." Lin Tong came to report.

Ji Chilian waved his hand: "No need, Master Xiao Shen and I will go in now."

Immediately, a Jinyiwei handed over a torch and bent down to enter the cave.

The flame on the torch shook for a moment but did not go out, indicating that there was enough oxygen in the secret room.

Ji Chilian and Shen Yaosi entered the secret room one after another.

As they entered the secret room, the first thing they smelled was an extremely strong stench of feces and urine.

"Why does it stink so much here?" Shen Yaosi couldn't stand the smell and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.

Ji Chilian did not respond, but grabbed the torch from a Jinyiwei beside him and threw it forward.

The flame outlined a streak of fire in the air and fell deep into the secret room, lengthening the figure hidden in the depths of the secret room.

The man, who was dressed simply, was tied up in a spread-eagle position in the air, with his hands and feet stretched out. The rope around his neck left purple marks on his skin and was almost embedded in his flesh.

The other end of the rope was tied to a naturally protruding rock above the man's head. It was stretched straight, pulling the man's entire neck and head, so that even after he died, he still kept his head up.

After his eyelids were cut off, the man's bulging eyeballs were exposed to the air. Because of the long time, his eyeballs had even become shriveled, and walnut-like marks appeared on the surface.

It seemed that he had experienced inhuman torture before his death. Not only were his eyelids cut off, but almost all of his teeth were pulled out. There were slap marks all over his cheeks. It was obvious that he must have been severely abused before his death.

Shen Yaosi looked at the man's swollen and deformed face, and his voice was filled with disbelief: "Is this the Second Prince?!"

Although the man's appearance had changed a lot, Shen Yaosi could still recognize that he was the second prince of their Yunzhao Kingdom, Bei Jiye.
