Chapter 472 Completely Blocking the Escape Route in the Basement

Although this farmer's house is a little simple, it is well maintained and spotless.

The furnishings in the house are simple and plain, with almost no pieces of furniture that can be called exquisite or gorgeous.

However, what was eye-catching was that above the bare wall there was a complete and beautiful fox fur hanging.

Based on this point alone, everyone present could easily infer that the owner of this household must be an experienced and skilled hunter.

After all, only those who live in the mountains and forests all year round and are good at hunting can own such precious trophies and display them in a prominent place in their home.

Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen looked around the room curiously, and suddenly, their eyes fell on an inconspicuous corner behind the door.

It seemed that there was some secret hidden there, as if there was an invisible attraction calling them to explore.

Feng Wuhen walked forward cautiously and squatted down to observe carefully.

He gently reached out and pulled the seemingly ordinary wooden board, and unexpectedly he actually succeeded in pulling it open!

As the wooden board moved, a dark and deep hole suddenly appeared before our eyes.

This unexpected discovery made both of them alert, but at the same time it also aroused their strong curiosity.

Feng Wuhen went closer to the cave entrance to check and found that there was a narrow staircase extending downwards, barely enough for one person to pass sideways.

Seeing the hole, Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo looked at each other. They both understood why King Kang suddenly disappeared after entering the house.

"I will go down and take a look first. You all stay here." Feng Wuhen glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze and spoke in a firm and unquestionable tone.

He stood tall and straight, like a towering mountain, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

"No, Your Majesty!" Jiang Yimo hurriedly took a step forward, her pretty face full of worry, "Let me get off. I'm smaller and more flexible than you and the others, so I can better handle any possible dangers."

There was a determined light flashing in her lively big eyes as she stared at Feng Wuhen.

"Your Highness, your status is extremely noble. If something happens, how can we explain to the Emperor? Let your subordinates explore the way for you first!" Leng Mei said with a serious face and clasped his fists.

He was tall and mighty, exuding a cold aura, but at this moment his eyes revealed deep concern for Feng Wuhen.

For a moment, the three of them started arguing, expressing their own opinions, and no one was willing to give in.

At this moment, Xie Hefan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Stop arguing! If you continue arguing, Prince Kang will run away again."

"It's no use arguing like this. Why don't we all line up in order?"

“This way, we can ensure safety while conducting exploration in an orderly manner.”

After hearing this, the three of them thought this proposal was quite reasonable, so they stopped arguing and decided to line up.

However, Feng Wuhen went down first.

Feng Wuhen glanced at Xie Hefan and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with his idea.

Then, he took the lead and walked to the front of the team, ready to be the first to go down to the unknown place...

The cave was very deep. The four of them lined up and walked down the narrow stairs. It was pitch black below...

They were not even halfway up the stairs when they sensed a dangerous aura coming towards them.

"Everyone be careful, there is an ambush!" Feng Wuhen keenly sensed this aura, and he suddenly shouted, reminding the three people behind him to be vigilant.

Just as Feng Wuhen finished drinking, a blast of arrows as dense as rain whizzed out from the darkness, rushing towards everyone with a sharp sound of wind.

These arrows were extremely fast, cutting through the air like lightning, leaving people no time to react.

Feng Wuhen quickly protected Jiang Yimo, while Xie Hefan and Leng Mei simultaneously used their internal forces to resist.

As a result, arrows came in wave after wave, determined to stab the four of them to death.

After more than ten minutes, the four of them finally held on until the rain of arrows had run out.

Only a few people breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, they heard an arrogant laugh.

Oil lamps were lit underground.

Everyone could see each other clearly.

"I didn't expect you guys to find this place."

"This place is my last hiding place in the imperial city.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not use this place."

"But you have already forced me into a corner. I will have no choice but to perish together with you."

"To tell you the truth, once you enter here, you can't get out. With you buried with me today, I won't be too lonely in hell."

As soon as King Kang finished speaking, a series of "cracking" sounds were heard. Everyone looked closely and saw that on both sides of the stairs, iron rods as thick as thumbs were rapidly emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain!

These iron rods flashed with cold light and stabbed towards the other side with lightning speed!

This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

At this critical moment, Jiang Yimo, Feng Wuhen, Leng Mei and Xie Hefan reacted extremely quickly. They jumped down the stairs without hesitation.

Almost at the same time, the stairs behind them closed instantly as if they were cast by magic, completely blocking the retreat!

Jiang Yimo was extremely anxious. She shouted at King Kang: "King Kang, quickly take back the iron rod on the stairs!"

"You've already made a big mistake. Do you want to make the same mistake again? Stop it. It's not too late to turn back now!"

However, King Kang seemed not to have heard it. He stood there motionless, with a look of determination and madness in his eyes.

"Momo..." King Kang shouted in a slightly hoarse voice, his eyes, which were originally extremely sharp, now turned a little scarlet, staring at Jiang Yimo like a wounded beast. "I have no way to retreat now! Even if I am captured by you and handed over to the emperor for punishment, the only thing waiting for me is death!"

Jiang Yimo couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She knew very well that after Prince Kang had committed so many crimes, the old emperor would certainly not forgive him easily.

However, the current situation made her feel quite tricky - after all, the four of them were not willing to accompany King Kang to death!

Just as Jiang Yimo was about to say something, Feng Wuhen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke the silence: "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

His tone was calm, as if he was just stating a simple fact.

But the deep meaning and reproach contained therein are self-evident.

"I don't want it to be like this, but you have a good mother, and my mother...she only treats me as a tool to fight for the cage."
