Chapter 3: The Mystery of the Secret Room
Li Chu caught Li Xun's glance, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't ask me, Leader Li, I don't know anything, I have been staying in the palace since the third quarter of the hour." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Of course, Li Xun knew that Li Chu was not a good clichΓ©, and he had no intention of saying this from the beginning, so he nodded his chin to the room directly opposite and said, "Let's start with Mr. Li's room." β
"Leader Li can look at the map, there are indeed a lot of organs and secret passages in the Rite Mansion, but there are none in my room." Li Chu didn't mean to hide it.
Li Xun didn't look at the map when he heard this, and insisted on saying: "Let's go in and take a look, I have to look at every place in the mansion, big and small, so as not to be punished by the emperor if there is a mistake when the time comes." β
However, after he entered, he didn't check so carefully, just after a few glances, he knocked on the wall casually a few times and quickly retreated.
"So, where do we start?"
Li Chu pointed to the study, the afterglow flashed, as if a figure flickered over, although it was just a glance, but the figure was very familiar, Li Chu twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time and couldn't remember who it was?
"Mr. Li, please."
The moment Li Xun pushed the door of the study open, a clear smell of wine rushed to his face, and Li Chu smiled lightly, and he already knew in his heart who that person was just now.
When Zishan came back, he undoubtedly gave Li Chu a reassurance, walked under the beam of the house unhurriedly, pointed to the top of his head, and motioned to Li Xun to turn on the switch.
He never did this kind of hard work.
Li Xun glanced at him hesitantly, because Li Chu was too cooperative, but Li Chu didn't have the heart to care about his suspicions, and only thought about how to pass the message to Zishan.
Li Xun didn't have the patience to do so, opened the secret passage, patted the stunned Li Chu with his hand, and motioned for him to follow up.
"This secret passage is too narrow."
Li Chu was already relatively tall in the crowd, but Li Xun was half a head taller than Li Chu, and it was a little difficult to walk in this dark passage.
But he still inspected each secret room very carefully, and when he walked out of a secret room, he would twist his neck a few times with a half-hunched step, and the sound of "cluck" was crisp and loud.
Li Chu opened the last secret room, turned his head to look at Li Xun who was relieved, and said with a smile: "Leader Li, this secret room is very spacious, there is no need to hunch your back anymore." β
This is the last secret room on the map, and nothing has been found before, so Li Xun wiped his eyes very bright this time, and his gaze was so hard that he could dig three feet into the ground.
Sure enough, even the almost transparent silk thread did not escape his gaze, and the stone drawers jumped out one after another, Li Xun's face was full of joy, but when he turned his gaze to the face of Li Chu beside him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
When a person's secret is revealed by others on the spot, it is too late to panic, how can he show a mysterious smile like Li Chu?
Li Xun was a little confused about his thoughts, so he leaned in front of the stone drawer and took a look, and said without looking back: "You are so calm, just because it takes many keys to open these stone drawers, right?" β
"The key is adsorbed under each stone drawer, so many stone drawers, Leader Li looks at it slowly, but be careful of the things inside, don't break it." Li Chu sat down with a nonchalant expression as he spoke, his fingertips tapping intermittently in front of the stone table, wishing that someone would bring a pot of tea.
Li Xun reached out and groped on the stone drawer for a while, and sure enough, he touched a key, and his heart was divided, he walked quickly to Li Chu, his hands propped up on the stone table, and his eyes were like swords staring at him firmly.
"What are you waiting for, Leader Li? It's been a while since we've been in, so let's check it out quickly, and go out when we're done. Although Li Chu's tone was a little impatient, his face was clearly watching a play.
Li Xun pointed to the wall with his hand, but his eyes still fell on Li Chu's face, and he said: "A few of you quickly open these stone drawers for me, take out all the things inside, I want to read them word by word!" β
Someone quickly opened the first stone drawer, but he howled out in shock, took several steps back with a rolling belt, and said with a white face: "Scorpion...... Scorpion ......"
Li Chu rushed in front of Li Xun, and locked the stone drawer back with lightning speed, Li Xun wanted to hold his hand but it was too late, turned around and scolded: "Isn't it just a scorpion?" As for being scared? How did I teach you shit? β
"Leader Li, that scorpion is ten times bigger than an ordinary scorpion, I have never seen a scorpion of this size, I am cold...... the man muttered.
Li Xun would never believe it if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Li Chu handed him the key in his hand understandingly, Li Xun opened the stone drawer without any ambiguity, and locked the stone drawer with just a glance.
"What are you doing stupidly? Do you want me to come over and open it for you? β
After hearing this, several guards put away their stunned eyes, and were about to open the lock in a trembling manner, when Li Chu suddenly opened his mouth and admonished: "You guys be careful, don't get the things inside outside, if they come out, it won't be good." β
"Did you already know that we were going to search your secret room and deliberately put poison inside?" Li Xun shouldn't have been so direct, but today's etiquette was too abnormal, and the look on his face seemed to wish someone had opened the stone drawer.
Li Chu glanced at everyone and said casually: "I'm not a fortune teller, how could I expect today's events?" Putting poison to scare Leader Li, I still can't do such a childish thing. β
Li Chu's afterglow flashed, and when he saw that the stone drawer at the bottom was about to be opened, he hurriedly reminded loudly: "The one who is squatting, stay away, it is the blood snake I have raised for many years, and I will suck blood when I see people." β
As soon as Li Chu said this, where did the guard still have the courage to open the stone drawer, his hands trembled violently, and he didn't know if he was too nervous or what, the key slipped from his hand and fell into the gap.
"Ahh Is it a centipede!! β
"It's a dead toad!"
At the same time, the sound of panic continued to sound, Li Chu walked to the mechanism and glanced at Li Xun, seeing that he had no reaction, he pressed the mechanism, and the stone drawer instantly returned to its original position.
"Let's go out, Chief Li?" Lichu asked.
Li Xun waved his hand expressionlessly, and the guards quickly packed up everything in the secret room and returned the same way, he walked around the secret room with his back before saying, "Can you tell me why you have raised so many poisons here?" β
"To heal." Li Chu gathered his sleeves, retracted his hand into the cuffs, raised his eyes and smiled, "There are two sides to everything, since there are good and bad, but sometimes his bad is so famous that it is difficult for people to notice his good." β
Li Xun pondered for a long time before slowly raising his head and saying, "Can ...... If you are trying to heal the sick, why do you have to work so hard to build so many secret passages and secret rooms? β
"There is only one thing in so many secret rooms, Leader Li must be curious why, right?" Li Chu shrunk his shoulders and raised his head and asked, "The temperature in this secret room is relatively low, and the days of poison hibernation are a little longer. If the weather warms up and the poison accidentally climbs out, even if you climb out of the secret room, you can't climb out of the corridor. β
Li Xun's eyebrows gradually cleared, but there was still a trace of hesitation on his face, Li Chu rubbed his cold hands, and added: "These things are very poisonous, if you run out and bite someone, you will die on the spot!" I can't afford that. β
