"I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

It was surprisingly quiet, except for the footsteps of two people, only the sound of heartbeats and breathing.

Chu Yunsheng found a topic, wanting to divert his attention, "How did Your Excellency know so well about the construction of the secret passage under King Zhao's Palace? ”

In the dark, Ji Zhaoran's steps were still steady, he held Chu Yunsheng with one hand, and the stone wall along the way with the other, groping on the side from time to time, hearing Chu Yunsheng's words, the corners of his mouth hooked, and in the darkness showed a brilliant smile that Chu Yunsheng couldn't see: " This secret passage was still at the beginning of the founding of the Zhao State, and one of the old friends I met who was proficient in the secret passage mechanism happened to be a descendant of the person who had participated in the design of the secret passage, and the ancestor quietly left this secret drawing in order to protect himself by virtue of this if something happened to his descendants. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Zhaoran paused as he rubbed the stone wall in his hand, he took Chu Yunsheng to stop his steps, took a step back, and raised his hand to wave a palm at the place where he was about to rub his finger on the stone wall just now.

As soon as that palm wind touched the stone wall, a sharp blade roared suddenly sounded in all directions, and at the moment of this sound, he had already raised his hand to protect Chu Yunsheng behind him.

Ding Ding Ding Ding.

There was another sound of sharp arrows sinking into the stone slab, sonorous and powerful, which also made people feel cold.

had been walking in the dark for so long, and his eyes had begun to adjust to the darkness around him, with that little blurred vision, Chu Yunsheng poked his head out from behind Ji Zhaoran to look at the seat they had just stood on, only to see that it was already full of sharp arrows.

If he had been a little slower to react just now, he pressed his finger on the mechanism...... Then at this time, I am afraid that both of them have become hedgehogs.

Feeling that Chu Yunsheng's body was obviously stiff when he saw the hidden weapon, Ji Zhaoran pulled her palm warmer and warmer, and he said what he hadn't finished just now: "What I have here is only the structure at the beginning of construction, as well as the lines that have been planted in Zhao Guo over the years, so many years, after so many generations of Zhao Guo's superiors have been rebuilt and fortified, this secret passage can be described as a heavy mechanism, and if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your life, so you can't be careless." ”

As he spoke, Ji Zhaoran had already picked up Chu Yunsheng and continued to walk forward, and when he passed by the ground full of poisonous arrows, his complexion did not change at all.

Chu Yunsheng's gaze swept over those killing moves, and then he turned around, looked at Ji Zhaoran who was calm in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "So, this secret passage to the imperial study is outside of your security information?"

Otherwise, with Ji Zhaoran's IQ, there will definitely be no deviation in memory. Seeing that he was groping for the stone wall exploration agency all the way, it undoubtedly confirmed Chu Yunsheng's guess.

Hearing this, Ji Zhaoran sighed, and said a little helplessly: "He Rong has already made a move, it is naturally heavily guarded during the day, I originally planned to take you out of the side hall where you are imprisoned at night and take another secret passage to the imperial study to ensure safety, but I thought, you must be in a hurry." ”

He didn't continue to say the latter words, but Chu Yunsheng had already understood.

I just understand, but I don't want to understand that the tragic experience of her previous life has told her that she can no longer trust others in this life, not to mention that the person in front of her intuition tells her that she is more dangerous than He Rong.

Seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn't react at all when he heard this, Ji Zhaoran didn't continue, and for a while, he was quiet again.

In the cold and damp dark passage, in addition to the sour and rotten taste, there is also a wisp of cold plum fragrance, which is refreshing, Chu Yunsheng gently spit out a small mouthful, so clear, just like the feeling this person gave her.

Walking quietly all the way, after encountering a few small organs, and finally arrived in front of a secret door, Ji Zhaoran turned around and made a silent cleanup on Chu Yunsheng, and then there was a bit of friction on the side of the secret door, and that action was the same as the middle-aged woman who took Chu Yunsheng to Yunxiu Palace to see her aunt last time.

Sure enough, after opening the secret door correctly, just like last time, a stone staircase leading to the top appeared, unlike the previous darkness, the stone steps behind the secret door were illuminated by night pearls every few steps.

The light is not dazzling, but it is enough to see the road beneath your feet.

Ji Zhaoran raised his hand to hold Chu Yunsheng, but Chu Yunsheng subconsciously avoided it and walked to the front one step ahead of him.

Climbing up the stairs, the end of the secret passage this time was not under the bed, but a wall that created a bookshelf, Chu Yunsheng touched it lightly, and with a click, a gap was revealed in the moving wall, she subconsciously stopped her movements and looked out through the gap.

Different from the dimness of the dark room, the outside is resplendent with bright lights, and the luxury is tight.

It is the Imperial Study.

Looking through the gap in her position, she happened to see the bed in the warm pavilion at the back of the imperial study, and saw one side of the quilt man on the bed.

It was King Zhao who was still in good spirits in the morning.

At this time, I saw that the look of decay on his face became more and more obvious, and his eyes were closed as if he was suffering from pain.

Unlike the strict guards who couldn't fly outside, there were only two palace maids on duty next to the bed in the huge imperial study, and Chu Yunsheng pushed open this corner of the stone wall with a very small sound, obviously not alarming them.

She was thinking about whether to find a way to lure them over and knock them unconscious, and then go to see King Zhao's body, but she heard a knock outside, followed by footsteps again.

When the man's voice appeared at the door, Chu Yunsheng subconsciously held his breath, and shrank his body more and more into the dark room, only to find that Ji Zhaoran was behind her, and she just sent herself into his arms with this action.

In the darkness, Chu Yunsheng didn't care about the old face blushing, and was about to push it away, but Ji Zhaoran raised his hand to protect her shoulder.

Raising his eyes again, he raised his eyes to himself, signaling her to pay attention to the outside, it was rare to see Ji Zhaoran so serious, Chu Yunsheng gave up the struggle and put his attention on the outside.

Through the gap between the rows of bookshelves, he watched He Rong calmly walk to the bed, looked back and motioned the two palace maids on duty to step back, and then saluted King Zhao on the bed: "The son asks for peace to my father." ”

King Zhao on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, looked at He Rong with those bloodshot eyes, and said, "What the hell is going on? What about the close ministers around Lone? Why haven't those people sent to call the imperial doctor come back yet?"

Without waiting for the courtesy, He Rong stood up and looked at King Zhao on the bed, with no emotion in his eyes: "Perhaps, they are delayed on the road!"
