Chapter 310 Backhand is a big pocket
"So, if that's the case, then what's inside must be bait, trying to get us to open the stone door and go in," Yi Qianxiao said. "Indeed, what a cunning tactic!"
Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words, the seven guards with swords broke out in a cold sweat.
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If they went in in that state, they would have been hit without a doubt!
The person who set up this organization must be a cunning old fox!
so horrible!
If Jia Daoshi hadn't stopped them, they would definitely have fallen into his trap!
"Really? This stone wall looks perfectly normal. You're saying there's a trap inside? Could it be that you saw the treasure inside and want to keep it all for yourself, so you're just making up a reason to scare us?"
Ming Gui found Jia Daoshi increasingly displeasing.
Compared to Jia Daoshi, he seemed like a complete failure.
Throughout his career, Jia Daoshi has been the center of attention.
Not only was his goddess Shen Li's gaze towards Jia Daoshi ambiguous.
And then there's Yuan Jin'er next to him, that flirtatious hussy is always sending flirtatious glances at Jia Daoshi.
Finally, Yi Qianxiao kept calling him "my lord" over and over, making him incredibly envious and jealous!
Why! ?
Anyway, he's determined to argue with Jia Daoshi!
However, this time, before Jia Daoshi could say anything, Shen Li, who was standing next to Jia Daoshi, slapped Ming Gui across the face with a big slap!
"Minggui! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you! This slap will wake you up!"
Shen Li has a fiery temper; she was about to explode just now!
I've endured it all this way!
"Ah Li...you...you actually hit me!"
Ming Gui covered his face, his eyes filled with disbelief!
His face was full of blankness and confusion!
He was pampered since childhood. With his father, such a big shot, no one dared to raise their voice at him, let alone lay a hand on him!
This was the first time he had ever been slapped so hard across the face!
After a moment of stunned silence, Ming Gui felt a tiny bit of excitement!
Because the person who hit him was none other than his goddess, Prince Zhenbei, Shen Li!
Seeing Ming Gui's dazed expression, Shen Li's face showed impatience: "Ming Gui! If you dare to say another word! Don't blame me for being impolite!"
Standing to the side, Wu Qingye was also speechless and very disappointed with Ming Gui.
Originally, he wanted to win over the second young master of the general's mansion and see if he could be used for his own purposes.
After all, in the struggle for the throne among the nine princes, the General's Mansion was a force that could not be ignored.
but now……
If it weren't for Jia Daoshi, they would have suffered heavy casualties along the way.
Having come this far, Ming Gui should now be clear about Jia Daoshi's capabilities.
Even if you have no experience in the ways of the world, you should still have some discernment. With more experience, you will always mature.
But after what just happened, Wu Qingye realized that Ming Gui really did have a congenital defect!
You're not smart enough!
Such trash dares to covet Shen Li?
So disappointing!
It's of no use at all!
"General Ming, I think we should listen to Mr. Jia."
As he spoke, Wu Qingye let out a long sigh.
Even the two experts who came out to protect Ming Gui were speechless at this moment.
The second young master of the Ming family only has a good family background.
Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't even be able to get a meal.
"Ugh..." Ming Gui covered his face and nodded subconsciously. He could still feel the warmth of Shen Li's slap on his face.
Jia Daoshi glanced at Ming Gui, who was still in a daze, and shook his head.
He had long since lost interest in this guy.
Then, Jia Daoshi turned his head again to look at the stone wall that had a crack.
"Teacher, how do we solve the mechanisms inside?" Shen Li asked curiously.
Jia Daoshi squinted at it for a moment, then said, "Breaking this mechanism isn't difficult, but there's a bit of a trick to it. I need two people to work together."
"Two people with excellent lightness skills and quick movements, come and coordinate."
“That’s easy. My two men are excellent in light-footed skills and quick in their movements, which is just what Mr. Jia needs.”
Wu Qingye gave a wink to the two middle-aged men beside him.
The two middle-aged men stepped forward, clasped their hands in a fist salute to Jia Daoshi, and said, "Mr. Jia, please give your orders!"
Jia Daoshi nodded and pointed to the two torches on either side of the stone wall: "See those two torches? Those are specially made torches. You two need to take them down at the same time, and then within a breath, put them back into the two holes in the middle of the stone wall."
"Remember, the movements must be synchronized. Any slight mistake will trigger the mechanism!"
"I see!" The two middle-aged experts nodded and exchanged a glance.
He then handed his sword to his companion and carefully walked to the area under the two torches.
"I'll count to three, then we'll begin! One! Two! Three!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
The Vajra Realm masters who have undergone joint training are different from ordinary Vajra Realm masters. Their movements are uniform, with the left foot stepping on the right foot and rising from the ground at the same time!
Almost simultaneously, they took the torches from the stone wall, landed on the ground, used the momentum to rush towards the two holes in the middle of the stone wall!
"Card wipe!"
"Card wipe!"
Then, they simultaneously inserted the torches into the two holes in the middle of the stone wall!
This was the first time Jia Daoshi had ever witnessed such teamwork between top imperial guards!
These imperial guards are indeed as renowned as they say. No wonder these martial arts figures are so wary of the imperial court; there's a reason for it.
"Click! Click! Click! Click-clack click-clack, click-clack click..."
As a series of mechanical sounds rang out, the two large stone doors slowly opened to the sides, revealing a three-meter-wide passage.
"Very good, the mechanism has been deactivated. When you go in, don't try to deliberately damage anything, and there won't be any problems."
Jia Daoshi nodded. Although the two middle-aged men were very skilled and worked together very well, Jia Daoshi had nothing to envy. He felt that his manor's guard team could also reach that level.
Seeing Jia Daoshi's calm demeanor, Wu Qingye, who was standing to the side, had some thoughts in her mind.
There's always a limit to how good an individual can be.
The reason why the imperial court was able to intimidate the world was because it had an army and a large group of skilled warriors.
Even martial arts sects dared not act recklessly in the face of such a violent government department.
He had just sent his men to do it, partly to show off.
However, Jia Daoshi remained calm and composed after seeing this, which showed that his strength had not attracted the attention of the other party.
Just how much strength is Jia Daoshi hiding?
Wu Qingye muttered something to himself.
As a prince of the dynasty, he has remained low-key and secretly contacted many people all these years!
This is the first time he has encountered someone of similar age who is completely unfathomable!
This has never happened before!
The group followed Jia Daoshi and slowly entered the treasure room in front of them.
The storm passed and the trap was successfully disarmed.
After flipping through a few books on the bookshelf, Jia Daoshi's eyes showed a look of doubt.
Because the techniques described here seem too simple and crude.
Sure enough, after flipping through a few books, Yi Qianxiao frowned and said, "Strange, these cultivation techniques and secret manuals are all ordinary stuff, not profound at all. How can they be called treasures?"
Shen Li nodded and said, "They are indeed some ordinary secret manuals, but for some small sects and wandering knights, they are already very valuable."
Wu Qingye casually picked up a few books, glanced at them, and then lost interest: "They're a bit low-level, but they're better than nothing. Let's put them away for now."
At this moment, Ming Gui didn't say anything. Although he was from the General's Mansion, he had no interest in martial arts, so he couldn't understand these things.
After collecting everything, Jia Daoshi nodded and said, "Now let's go to the next treasure room. The items in the outer area are of such good quality, it's not bad."
