Chapter 474: Underground

Wu Tao glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao deeply, and then directly put down the unpleasant thing just now, and said, "How many people have been brought back, but the county lord wants to meet them?"

"How many people?" Chu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Who?"

Wu Tao said: "It is the two captains in the Cangzhou Army and the people of the Huotou Army...... There was also a woman, and all of them had problems, so they brought them back for interrogation. ”

"Woman?" After hearing Wu Tao's words, Chu Xiaoxiao was immediately slightly startled.

How can there be a woman in a prisoner barracks?

Chu Xiaoxiao hadn't dealt with the legacy of the Cangzhou rebellion since she returned to Beijing for so long, so she really didn't know where this woman came from.

Hearing this, Wu Tao didn't say much, but stood up and motioned for Chu Xiaoxiao to come over and take a look.

And Chu Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't make trouble at such a time, so she followed Wu Tao all the way.

While walking, Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Wu Tao and said, "The matter of the Bloody Guard...... Yun Ruochen has already told me, I didn't want to take care of it originally, but I couldn't stay idle at home, so I came over. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao also thought about it seriously just now, when she entered the palace a few days ago, Yun Lingtian explained this matter to her and the Bloody Guard, but in the past few days, the Bloody Guards had obviously moved, but she didn't even receive a single message there, obviously because after the conversation between her and Yun Ruochen that night, Yun Ruochen had already greeted the Bloody Guard.

As soon as this sentence fell, Wu Tao could be regarded as really looking at Chu Xiaoxiao, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness told the county lord all about the bloody guard?"

I still don't believe her......

However, Chu Xiaoxiao can also understand, after all, a person like Yun Ruochen doesn't look like the kind of person who will share her secrets with others at will, not to mention that her current position of fighting openly is still royalist.

Chu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, raised her hand to stroke the non-existent dust on her sleeve, and said to Wu Tao: "Look at what Lord Wu said, this couple is ...... Well, it's one, the two of us will get married in a few days, what does it matter if he told me this? What's more, it's good to know in advance that Lord Wu is his own person, so as not to have any accidents, I will accidentally hurt the innocent. ”

Wu Tao looked at Chu Xiaoxiao deeply, and after a while, he inexplicably gave Chu Xiaoxiao a hand again.

Chu Xiaoxiao's famous watch, Wu Tao is now reluctant to agree with her for the sake of Yun Ruochen's face.

Wu Tao led Chu Xiaoxiao into a dungeon, and Chu Xiaoxiao asked, "Do you know the identity of that woman?"

For the captains in those armies, Chu Xiaoxiao had a number of problems in her heart, and the only thing she doubted was this woman who appeared in the prisoner camp for some reason.

Intuition told Chu Xiaoxiao that there must be something wrong with this woman's identity.

Hearing this, Wu Tao immediately said: "This woman was not in the Cangzhou army early in the morning, but mixed in after the chaos in Cangzhou City, and she just brought people back, and she didn't have time to find out the identity of this woman." ”

"That's ......" Chu Xiaoxiao touched her chin and thought about it, "Then let's go and take a look." ”

The two of them went all the way down to the dungeon, although the blood-clothed guard looked like a serious yamen on the surface, but the underground was extremely vast.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at it and estimated it slightly, the area of this dungeon should be much larger than the above, and it was extremely deep, looking past the layers of cells and torture cells, there was actually a dark river underneath, Chu Xiaoxiao had just come down a few floors, and he had already heard the sound of the river surging water.

Wu Tao explained: "This dungeon was secretly established by order of Emperor Gaozu after the founding of the country, and the dungeon here leads to the imperial palace in front and the imperial mausoleum in Taimiao. At the beginning of Gaozu's founding of the country, the government was unstable, and all walks of life were rampant against the king, which was the back road left by Emperor Gaozu for himself. The mansions on all sides of this Bloody Guard belong to the Bloody Guard. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the underground prison with at least ten floors, in this cold dungeon, even the torches on the wall looked a little eerie, and the screams that came from time to time made the dungeon even more like hell.

However, Chu Xiaoxiao's attention was not on how terrifying this dungeon was, after all, she had lived in her previous life and now for so many years, what kind of scene had she never seen? Such a place was just a small thing for Chu Xiaoxiao to see in the past.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "In addition to being able to access the palace, where else can this dungeon lead?"

Hearing this, Wu Tao instantly looked at Chu Xiaoxiao in surprise, obviously not expecting Chu Xiaoxiao to ask like this.

However, Wu Tao was only surprised for a moment, and then said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "You can also pass through the Jing Palace's Mansion and the Dark Tower." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Tao paused slightly, and then explained to Chu Xiaoxiao: "These two secret passages are said to have been built by order of Concubine Liang Niangniang in the past, and they have never been used in these years, and I don't know what they are used for. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao laughed, turned a condescending glance at the faintly floating dark river in the depths, and said with a smile: "To be able to dig such a big dungeon in this kind of place, the original craftsmen must have been rare masters. ”

"Yes. Wu Tao said seriously: "This water comes from the moat, but it has never flooded the dungeon, and there is a mechanism in this dungeon that will be washed away by the water as long as it is pressed." ”

"It's a novelty. Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Are there still fish in this water?"

Wu Tao said: "The county lord is right, there are indeed fish in this water, which were raised here by a senior when the Bloody Clothes Guard was just established. This fish is extremely ferocious and can eat people, and if a person falls, even the bones will be eaten in an instant, so it is a good place to dispose of corpses. ”

"So, this fish grew up eating human flesh?" Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at Wu Tao with interest and said, "Go back and order someone to catch two of them, and I'll take them away." ”

Although this fish is ferocious, it is not big, it can only eat people by thousands, if it is one or two, it will not be a climate, and it is not difficult to catch two of them as ordered by Chu Xiaoxiao, so Wu Tao responded directly, "Yes." ”

After getting the answer she wanted, Chu Xiaoxiao continued to think about the question she had just thought about.

Just now when Wu Tao said that this dungeon could lead to the palace and outside the capital, Chu Xiaoxiao had already thought that if she was Yun Ruochen, after mastering the Blood Clothes Guard, she would inevitably establish a secret passage that could lead from King Jing's Mansion to here, after all, this place could lead directly to the palace!

It's just that what Chu Xiaoxiao didn't expect was that this secret passage was actually built by order of Concubine Liang.

In other words, when Concubine Liang was still alive, she already had the intention of forcing her son to force the palace to seize the throne.
