"No wonder those girls are ......crazy," Bai Fan closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "This place really feels a bit like a prison." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He stood in the middle of the room, and in the dimly lit room, only the small open window above his head let in the moonlight, and through the silver light, he could roughly see the face of the small building. To be honest, from the outside, it's just a small two-story building, but on the inside, it's a hole...... Rows of shelves were lined with iron-grated cages with venomous snakes with green eyes, and one wall was covered with the skins of various animals, presumably whole skins from different animals, each with different heads, horns, pointed ears, and whiskers as long as a woman's hair. These are the heads of the owners of the furs, all animals. It is like a kind of souvenir, which is stored here, and in the dark night, these outlaw creatures are no longer as alive as they are, and they show the misery of their lives with a kind of death breath. I wonder if the girls who were locked up here would have the illusion that their souls were still attached to the fur and skulls, hiding in the dark to spy on the people who came to this house.

"I look at these things a little numb, alas, what a pity for those girls. Bai Fan looked at the fur collection on the wall that seemed to be painted with the face of a bull head ghost, and then turned his head to look at the other wallβ€”there were long spears and short swords hanging on an entire wall, lined up, and they were very neatly planned.

Xu Shu carefully looked at the wall that could be called the weapon list, seemed to think of something, and said softly: "I remember Zihui said that the prince came to Dongzi to visit Confucianism in two months, and the second prince also appeared in Dongzi at that time, but some of the weapons on this wall are rusty, if the thing here is a green building, it is too unusual, and it is impossible for the green building to have private weapons." β€œ

"Definitely not. There is a big problem with this small building, you see where ......" The visit pointed to the place where the moonlight could not shine, and said: "These things are said to be from the Qinglou, where is there still credibility." β€œ

When Xu Shu heard the prestige, there was only a vague shadow, and when he looked at it, a deep look appeared in his eyes. In the corner that Bai Fan pointed to were piled up all kinds of torture instruments, all of which were tortured in prison, and there was also a long cabinet next to it, on which bottles of different sizes were placed.

"It's all life-threatening poison. Bai Fan took a bottle from the long cabinet, opened it and sniffed it. "It's really strange, who would put these dangerous things in the green building. β€œ

"No, what's really weird is here. β€œ

"What?" Bai Fan was stunned, put back the bottle, and stood beside Xu Shu, "Do you see something?" He asked curiously when he saw Xu Shu holding a short sword and looked at it carefully.

Xu Shu raised the reverse side of the hilt of the sword to show him: "The word 'Feng' is engraved on it." β€œ

"Well, it's true. Bai Fan picked up the short sword, and carved a small word "Feng" on the reverse side of the hilt, and also used red gold to draw the word red along the notch. "Is there anything you need to pay attention to? This word 'Feng' feels so familiar. He tilted his head, thinking about any memories of the word "feng" in his mind.

"This year is the twenty-fourth year of Nanchu Yuanfeng, and I remember that the second prince happened to be twenty-four years old. Xu Shu said loudly.

Bai Fan glanced at him and nodded: So, I really have a little impression. ”

"You know too?" Xu Shu asked.

Bai Fan nodded, thinking of a distant memory in his mind, and his voice drifted with the memory. "I remember that when the crown prince was born, it was the second year of the Yuan Gen of Southern Chu, which was the second year of Emperor Yuan Jing's ascension to the throne, and his founding year was Yuan Gen. Originally, the year names of the kings of the past dynasties were unchanged, but in the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the second prince was born, and that year was a sign of Tianrui Zhaofeng, and the farmland in all parts of Southern Chu was a good scene of abundance, and the people were rich and the country was strong in that year to reach the highest in the hundred years of Southern Chu. The star official believes that it is because of the birth of the second prince that it brought Ruizhao. Emperor Yuan Jing also changed Yuan Gen to Yuan Feng from that year, and gave the second prince the name Huang Feng. But for some reason, in the second year of Yuanfeng, Huangfeng was changed to Huangli, and at the same time, the emperor was originally the crown prince. In fact, this incident caused a sensation in the whole country at that time, because the birth of the second prince was the beginning of abundance, but time has changed, twenty-four years have passed, and the career of that year has gradually been taken away by the previous generation, and now few people know the inside story. But in my opinion, whether it is called Huangfeng or Huangli, the second prince is still the most beloved son of the emperor. Bai Fan looked at Xu Shu's distracted appearance and asked puzzledly: "What's the matter?" It's just a word, what's strange." β€œ

"It's weird, very weird. Xu Shu stared motionlessly at the wall with the spear and short sword, "The short sword in your hand should be the second prince's private property." β€œ

"Alas, this thing belongs to that guy?" Bai Fan was a little disbelieving, and looked at the thing in his hand with wide eyes. "How do you know?"

"The iron of the sword is unearthed from the Xingshi pile, thirty years ago, a total of ten iron stones were unearthed from the Xingshi pile, one of which was used by the original Emperor Jing to make a short sword, the sword has the word 'Feng', and the original Emperor Jing gave it to the second prince when he wanted to come. β€œ

"The stone pile, made of iron in that place!" Bai Fan opened his mouth wide, and a gleam appeared in his eyes. "Awesome! He is worthy of being the apprentice of the Sword Saint Zhuangzi, and he knows the real thing at a glance. This sword is made of the iron of the starstone pile. It's too wasteful to just let Huang Li, a loser, leave it here. He grinded his teeth and clenched his fists fiercely to show his resentment at the waste of good things.

"It's not just the dagger that's his, I think everything in this little building is his. Xu Shu said calmly.

Bai Fan was puzzled, "Why do you think so?"

"The dagger has been sitting here for a long time, and although it is a little gray on it, the hilt is clean, indicating that someone will touch it every once in a while. Butβ€”" Xu Shu paused, "the other weapons on this wall are covered with dust, and only this short sword is clean. This shows that this small building kept these things until the owner returned and put the missing weapon back here. It's the short sword in your hand. β€œ

"This host....... It's the emperor. Bai Fan's voice became dry and hoarse, and it was difficult to calm the surprise in his heart. "In this way, this house, no, the real master of this Qinglou is Huang Li. β€œ

"Yes. Xu Shu stretched out his hand and carefully stroked a sword stained with a thick layer of ash, "I think, Huangli came to Dongzi in front of the crown prince, and he has been here, waiting for something." β€œ

"No matter what his schemes are, now our question is, where is Mei Yuehan locked up in this place now. β€œ

Bai Fan scratched his head anxiously, most of the small building was black, and there were some scary things in it, these three watches were in the middle of the night, it was dark and cold, and the yin and ghosts were intertwined here, and it was very infiltrating.
