Chapter 119 The Hidden Danger of the Secret Room
Three days have passed in a flash, and Xiao Yichen's so-called inspection of the frontier has also reached the fifth day.
For His Royal Highness, that troublesome little girl is finally well-behaved, at least she won't think about escaping somewhere, which makes him feel good. It's just that the two sides seem to have a tacit understanding, and they haven't talked about the orc clan again.
And Yu Xiaoxiang's mood is obviously not as good as Xiao Yichen, even if the heartless little beauty follows Xiao Yichen to run around, she will still be very happy when she sees delicious food and fun, but when she returns to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, she will always look a little lonely. The reason is also very simple, every time she went to deliver food to the crystal in the past few days, the princess of the rabbit tribe seemed to treat her as air, that is, she would not say a word, nor would she have any facial expressions. Even though Yu Xiaoxiang had tried her best to explain to her that she hadn't thought of lying to her at all, she still didn't get any response. Such a situation makes the little girl who doesn't know what the taste of sorrow is, and she always feels a little sick and unenergetic every day.
On the other hand, the civil and military officials of the Azure Star Domain can be regarded as living in fear these days. Prince Ling Xiao is arbitrary, and often has unexpected actions, even in this remote star field, he is also famous, and these days, this group of veterans in the officialdom can be regarded as deeply aware of the correctness of this. For example, in the middle of a tour, His Highness will suddenly propose to go to a place in the opposite direction, or simply take a large group of officials to the lake for a barbecue. The final result was naturally that His Royal Highness the Prince was satisfied, but the officials were nervously strained, fearing that some of the sins they had committed would be accidentally discovered by His Highness.
Liu Xianneng's life is not easy, although Zhang Shou can't send someone into the Dadu Governor's Mansion, but after all, the outer gate is also a snake, and the people who are watching the people keep coming in the news, making this Liu Dutong more and more aware that Xiao Yichen's arrival does not seem to be as simple as imagined. To put it in the simplest way, as the commander-in-chief of the Star Army, Xiao Yichen obviously didn't have time to stay in a border star domain for a long time, but now five days have passed in the blink of an eye. This alone was enough for Liu Xianneng to be terrified, but there was nothing he could do.
In addition, Beichen's wordless actions made Liu Xianneng even more worried. Except for the information that he didn't know who he didn't know when he came to the garrison yamen, Beichen Wuyan has been looking for the so-called "capable people" among the people in the past few days.
Liu Xianneng didn't know what kind of talented person Beichen Wuyan was looking for, and he didn't have the courage to ask directly, but he didn't understand that Prince Ling Xiao was surrounded by imperial elites, but why did he look for any masters among the people?
Until......
"Brother, that Beichen Wuyan took a few old guys who retired from the Academy of Sciences to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion today. Zhang Shou was sweating, and after rushing into the room and closing the door in a hurry, he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea before running to Liu Xianneng's side and speaking urgently.
"What did they do?" Liu Xianneng seemed to feel that something was wrong.
"Mechanism Study!!" Sure enough, after Zhang Shou's three words came out, Liu Xianneng's eyes widened instantly, and the blood on his face turned pale in an instant as if it had been removed.
"Not good!" Liu Xianneng jumped up and said with a frightened face: "It turns out that what His Highness is looking for is someone who understands organ science, so speaking of which, he must know that Nangong Jun's old immortal has built some kind of secret room in the mansion!"
"Brother, after we killed the old dog, we also searched the Dadu Governor's Mansion carefully, and even used a probe to find it, although the time was not enough, but we didn't find anything, how do you know that there is a secret room in the Dadu Governor's Mansion?" Zhang Shou asked a little uncertainly.
"Hey, think about it carefully, when Nangong Old Dog died, he pointed at us and scolded, saying things like 'Sooner or later you will regret it'. Liu Xianneng walked back and forth in the room a little anxiously, "Nangong Old Dog has always been cautious and cautious, and he will definitely write down everything we have done over the years." What's more, even though he spends a lot of money on weekdays, but in fact, after we slaughtered him, we found that there were not many dragon coins in his mansion at all, and even there were only a few valuable things. No matter how you look at it, he's hiding somewhere. Come to think of it, His Royal Highness must have discovered the strangeness in it, so he had to find someone from the organ to crack it. ”
Zhang Shou also seemed to have realized the seriousness of the matter, and asked a little nervously: "Brother, do you mean that Nangong Old Dog is likely to hide those gold and silver treasures, as well as the ledger he used to record, ......in a secret room that we don't know?"
"That's the time we're almost over. Liu Xianneng sighed, and his face turned a little paler.
"What can I do then? My people can't even get close to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion now, how can they stop it?" Zhang Shou rubbed his hands together nervously, moving like ants on a hot pot.
"There is still a way!" Liu Xianneng seemed to have made up his mind, and said categorically: "Brother-in-law, this time we have to fight." ”
"How do you spell it? Brother, you say, I'll do it." Zhang Shou responded without hesitation.
Nodding, as if he saw the firmness in Zhang Shou's eyes, Liu Xianneng was very satisfied with this brother-in-law's expression at the moment, and said in a low voice: "The Nangong family has always been a master of organ science, and at the beginning, they still relied on mechanism science to become one of the eight great families. Although Nangong Jun is only a sideline, he must also have some real talents, if the legend is true, then we still have a chance. ”
"Brother, do you mean to find a way to destroy the secret room directly?" Zhang Shou seemed to suddenly open his mind and figured out the mystery.
"Yes. Liu Xianneng nodded, and then said: "Legend has it that the secret room made by the Nangong family must have a self-destruct device, and if it is forcibly opened by external force, all the things in it will be destroyed. I think this is also the fundamental reason why His Highness did not forcibly break through the secret room, but instead searched everywhere for institutional talents. If that's the case, then we still have a chance. ”
"Brother, how do we act?" Zhang Shou also knew that he was already standing on the edge of the cliff now, in case something really fell into Xiao Yichen's hands, it would be difficult for him to climb and kill himself.
"I know of a secret passage under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and it happens that His Highness is going to entertain me and other officials tonight, and when the time comes, you will arrange for a group of dead soldiers to enter through the secret passage. Liu Xianneng leaned into Zhang Shou's ear and spoke in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
