ATSWM Chapter 77.2

Chapter 77.2 How Spineless You Are

“What’s going on?” Huangfu Xiong stretched out a finger and pointed down.

Qin Yuquan’s forehead was sweating: “It’s a secret room. General, can’t I build a secret room under my bedroom? And General, the front-line military situation is the most important one! This kind of trivial matters, I can deal with it myself.”

“What I am asking is, what’s going on with those people!” Huangfu Xiong was drunk and his whole body exuded a strong heroic spirit.

Qin Yuquan took a closer look and saw that the light from the torch above startled the slave craftsmen who had not seen the sun all year round in the underground city. They squirmed, crawling towards the long-lost starlight and the flowing wind.

After a while, the bottom was already densely covered with broken legged craftsmen. At first glance, it looked terrible, as if they were the dead souls that came from under the ground.

What was more terrible was that whole piece of stillness and silence.

“It’s just the slave!” Qin Yuquan’s breath was already unstable and he ordered, “Come, take these slaves away quickly!”

“Stop.” Huangfu Xiong slowly pinched a jade token and said, “King Qin, there is something strange about this. I want to order the troops stationed outside the neighboring city to enter into the royal city and help King Qin survive this natural disaster. I also hope that King Qin will restrain his subordinates and won’t do anything that makes it unpleasant.”

Qin Yuquan took a very long and cold breath.

There are only twenty to thirty thousand imperial guards in the royal city. How can they defeat the more than fifty thousand cavalry from Dong state? Marching the troops into the Capital city of his state? This is obviously Huangfu Xiong making it clear that he wants to meddle in other people’s businesses!

In each and every state, the King will not hoard heavy troops, because there is no need. Twenty to thirty thousand imperial guards are already enough to solve any rebellion within the state. Under normal circumstances, the troops from other states will never be able to get close to the Capital city of a state.

Huangfu Xiong originally just wanted to march through the capital of Qin with his army. It’s Qin Yuquan himself who had another plan and anxiously invited the other party into the royal city. Unexpectedly, he moved a stone and hit himself in the foot. At this moment, if he is to pull the troops from another Pass, it’s probably already too late to put out the nearby fire with the water from afar.

On the other side, the General under Huangfu Xiong’s command received the order, ignored the other matters and began to march the troops straight into the gate of the city.

And Huangfu Xiong, a power house in the third layer of Shing Spirit Base, had already hugged Qin Yuquan’s thin shoulders affectionately and jumped straight down the ruins.

What else can Qin Yuquan, who was already pinched in the other party’s hands, do? Naturally, he could only pass on the order and let Huangfu Xiong’s army enter the royal city.

For a while, the scene was chaotic to the extreme.

Huangfu Xiong entered the place underground and saw the row upon row of halls of the underground royal city in front of him. His whole person was shocked to the point that his hairs were all blown up. The big hands that clamped Qin Yuquan became tighter and tighter. For a while, he lost his voice and could only pant heavily.

This place is the center of the underground royal city. Standing in this ruin, no matter looking forward, backwards, to the left or to the right, he can only see endless brilliant big halls that are connected one to the other.

Since the underground city extended out in all directions from this place, the closer it is to the center, the more complete the building is. Standing here and looking around, one will be in a trance and think that they had mistakenly entered some magical mirror space——The halls spread out in all directions and stretched to the end of the endless field of vision. The place that was closer to where they stood, the halls are more exquisite and beautiful than the halls far away. In the distance, there were only some rough shapes left.

Looking at it this way, one will know that the scale of this underground city has far exceeded the Capital of Qin state above it, even without carefully calculating it first.

Let alone a secret room, even if the royal tomb is used as an excuse, it is absolutely impossible to fool Huangfu Xiong over.

Huangfu Xiong slowly took his gaze back from the extreme distance and his eyes fell on those craftsmen whose faces were frightened but also ecstatic at the same time.
