Chapter 234: Through the capital
"A long and narrow passage? Don't have a mechanism inside? Sounds like an escape! Xue Jincheng's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
Xue Qi didn't answer, and stood aside with his head down, like an invisible person.
I waited for half an hour, but I didn't see the guards who went to investigate come back, and I don't know if the structure of this secret passage was too complicated or there was an accident, and the people guarding the dry well were a little anxious.
Two hours passed, and even Mu Zi was about to lose her breath, and there was finally movement outside.
Gao Ting was disgraced, looking a little embarrassed, "The subordinates have been walking along the secret passage, there are no mechanisms and forks in the secret passage, but some places are narrow and difficult to pass, and the exit of the secret passage is in the small forest in the western suburbs of the capital, which is very hidden." ”
Beijing? No wonder it took so long. From the Wu'an Hou Mansion to the west gate of the capital, it takes half an hour for the carriage to go, and they walk on foot, and the road is low, which naturally delays time.
Soon, another group of people who set out from the secret passage in the guest room also returned, "Returning to the world, the exit of the secret passage is at the foot of Ziyun Mountain, and the surrounding forests are lush and very hidden. ”
Ziyun Mountain? Mu Zidu was a little shocked, Ziyun Mountain is located in the east of the capital, and the Lingyun Temple on it is a royal temple, and the incense is extremely prosperous.
These two passages actually run through the entire capital, one east and one west? This is no small project!
Mu Zihu looked at Xue Jincheng suspiciously, "This is really not dug by the ancestors of the Wu'an Hou Mansion?" ”
When Xue Jincheng heard this, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something after being reminded by him, and a sharp edge suddenly crossed in his deep eyes, "This matter is very important, and I need to discuss it with my father." ”
"Hmmm! There you go! I had the two exits watched. Mu Zi nodded.
Xue Jincheng went for a day, and he didn't come back late at night, so he only let Chen Wenqing say, "The prince and the prince are still discussing things in the study, let the slave come and tell the lady, the prince will not go back to the courtyard tonight, and will rest directly in the study!" ”
Mu Zi nodded, and politely told him to remind Xue Jincheng to rest early.
This night, Xue Jincheng did not return, and Sister Yuan and the little fox slept on the big bed in a grand manner.
On the second day, it wasn't until noon that Xue Jincheng returned to Zijin Yuan, and Mu Zi hurriedly ordered someone to go to the kitchen to deliver two dishes.
"Done talking? What did my father say? Mu Zi handed Xue Jincheng a cup of tea.
"My father was also surprised to know about this, and sent someone to check it again, judging from the growth state of the plants at the entrance and exit of this secret passage, it should have been cultivated for more than ten years, when my father was still a son, and my grandfather was still alive, but they had never done this. My father and I have already discussed that whoever dug this secret passage will fill it in to prevent future troubles. Xue Jincheng's voice was a little cold, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Mu Zi smiled and said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "Hey, such a long two passages, it was not easy to dig at the beginning, it is estimated that it will not be possible in a year and a half, but it's a pity!" If that person knows that this secret passage has been filled in by you for a few days, I wonder if he will vomit blood? ”
Xue Jincheng was amused by Mu Zi, and a smile appeared on his face, "Vomiting blood? I'm afraid it's not enough, that person will probably be angry to death! Xue Qi said that the door is very rare, and the Mojia mechanism is used, and it must have taken a lot of effort to install it! I had them taken out and put them in the storeroom. ”
