Chapter 317: Déjà vu

The moonlight was like snow, and there was no superfluous sound in the useless courtyard except for the sound of a shovel shoveling through the dirt.

The second prince, Hongxi, stood under the torch, staring at the pit dug by the guards, as if expecting something.

6 Tao immediately understood, what they were looking for should be the same as what Ling Ling was looking for Peony and the latecomers, and a rough analysis of it can be seen that these people, including Peony, are trying to find the entrance to a certain place, and as for where the entrance leads, 6 Tao doesn't know.

He didn't want to know either.

Carefully retreating from the beam of the house to a position that the other party could not see, 6 Tao changed direction and bypassed the second prince's team.

His destination is a three-story building in front of him, which 6 Tao has observed during the day, not far from the imperial dining room here, but 6 Tao has never figured out what the three-story building is for standing there, it stands to reason that this kind of thing should not appear in the palace, except for the stargazing platform, any building that is too tall will become a hidden danger, if someone sneaks in and climbs up, they can overlook the palace.

Soon, 6 Tao arrived near the three-story building, as expected, there were guards guarding the entrance of the three-story building, but there were not many of them, one left and one right, a total of two, and surprisingly, the door of this building was completely open, which also saved 6 Tao's effort, not to climb all the way to the top of the building.

Using the stealth technique, 6 Tao easily entered the interior of the building, and did not stop at the empty hall on the first floor, 6 Tao walked up the wooden staircase.

All the way to the top of the building, 6 Tao didn't find anything in this building, whether it was any furniture, or people, but one thing made 6 Tao a little concerned, there was no dust on the ground, and the corner of the wall was not occupied by vertical and horizontal cobwebs, as if this place was often cleaned.

Shaking his head and putting aside these meaningless reverie, 6 Tao climbed out of a window on the top floor and went directly to the top of the building.

At the top of the three-story building is a minaret, on which 6 Tao stands carefully, finally being able to get a clear view of the surrounding scenery.

In the bright moonlight, a large area of buildings only left the shadow of the shadow, 6 Tao Ji looked into the distance, compared with the map in his memory, finally corresponded to a building, the building called the Imperial Palace, it seems to be the place where the emperors of the Great Qin Empire and the meritorious ministers were placed after their deaths, covering a huge area, just in the northeast corner of the imperial palace.

Of course, the mausoleum of the royal family is not here, and 6 Tao does not know where it is.

Now that the location of a building has been confirmed, the remaining location is clear in 6 Tao's mind, if you want to return to the original palace, you have to pass through almost half of the palace, but this is not very difficult for 6 Tao who has figured out the direction.

......

6 The waves fell to the ground like a light wind, and did not splash the slightest superfluous sound.

There was no superfluous sound in this palace before, and even the guards who were in the gate before had disappeared, but 6 Tao did not remove the stealth technique, he walked quickly into the courtyard, thinking about the entrance to the passage recorded on the map.

From the room that was connected to the wine cellar before, there was a faint fire coming out of it, 6 Tao was a little curious, he had a hunch, maybe it was the peony in the wine cellar, but since it was a peony, why did she light the lamp outside? This kind of easy exposure is not like something that the peony who will secretly pretend to be a palace maid and quietly come here to investigate.

However, these are not things that 6 Tao should care about for the time being, and after crossing the building, 6 Tao finally arrived at the entrance of the tunnel marked on the map, but he couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, the entrance to the passage should have been under a stone slab, and the stone slab was also very recognizable, because there was only one such stone slab nearby, but now, the stone slab has been turned up, and it is not known that anyone has dug a deep pit in the place of the stone slab, and there is no passage in the pit, except for dirt or earth.

What's going on?

6 Tao was puzzled, if this was the passage, why didn't he see the way down at all?

Looking at the color of the soil, it didn't look like it had been pulled from somewhere else, especially the dirt beneath the pit, with black wet marks and half-broken roots.

This is not easy to do, 6 Tao touched his chin, a little hesitant what to do next, since the entrance marked on the map is not here, and there is only this one entrance on it, this is very difficult.

Shaking his head, 6 Tao plans to return to Yunxi for the time being, waiting for further news, it is best to go to Peony, and find a way to learn from her about the news about the underground passage of the palace, as for the peony who just guessed that it is now in the wine cellar, 6 Tao does not intend to act recklessly, if he guesses wrong, it will not be good, the use of stealth is not very stable now, if the bottom of the wine cellar is blocked, there is no place to run, it is better to wait until the next day to ask Peony about the situation.

With this in mind, 6 Tao walked through the clearing in the middle and walked towards the unguarded gate.

With a "squeak", the door of the building above the wine cellar was suddenly pushed open, and 6 Tao and the peony who came out of it looked at each other.

6 Tao glanced down at his body, okay, the stealth technique suddenly failed again, and he was now standing in place in the costume of a eunuch.

"Why are you here?" Peony threw the man on his shoulders to the ground, and the man landed on the scattered stone slabs with a dull thud.

6 Tao looked at the little eunuch who was thrown on the ground by the peony in a daze, and didn't know what had happened.

Maybe it was because he saw 6 Tao's gaze, 6 Tao glanced at the man on the ground: "Don't worry, this guy is not dead, I don't know how he was touched to the cellar, so I knocked him unconscious and lifted him up...... Don't have such an expression, I don't have much strength, but this is a little girl, and I can still lift the little girl. ”

Then why did he dress up as a eunuch? Like the current peony, wouldn't it be better to dress up as a palace maid?

Shaking his head, 6 Tao didn't ask Peony anything, Peony said to himself: "Where did you run during the day? I waited for a day and didn't see you come back, so I simply came here at night, and sure enough, I guessed correctly, you also want to continue to explore the other two passages, right?"

"Uh......" 6 Tao wanted to say that it wasn't actually like this, but he thought that if he said so, he couldn't explain why he was here, so he had to give up, so he nodded: "That's right, I also want to know what's down there." ”

"Then let's talk about it first!" Peony looked at 6 Tao: "Other things can belong to you, but the jade seal of the country must belong to me, that one is of great use to me, and I can't give it to you!"

What is that?

6 Tao was a little puzzled, could it be that the unpopular princess in front of him wanted to fight for control of the royal family?

"Well, I promise you. Of course, Tao promised her, he didn't want to pass on the jade seal of the country.

As for what will appear below, 6 Tao also has more expectations, what he is looking forward to is that in fact, the map that Fang Tianhua gave himself is wrong, through those two tunnels, maybe he can find the crown in Fang Tianhua's description, since the peony only needs the jade seal, the crown is naturally 6 Tao's.

Seeing that 6 Tao agreed, Peony Nunu said: "Come to help, you want to help me find a place to hide this guy, I will take her back to the palace early tomorrow morning and lock her up, I must ensure that no one else will be exposed to the authentic secrets here!"

Nodding, 6 Tao turned over the "little eunuch" lying on the ground, and caught the moonlight, but 6 Tao was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?" asked Peony, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think this person is familiar?" 6 Tao said with some hesitation as he looked at the other party's face.

"Familiar?"

Peony took out a cylindrical thing from his bosom, unscrewed one end, and blew hard, and a faint fire lit up, illuminating the surroundings.
