Chapter 69: The Line of Life and Death, Peerless Face (3)
Four days later.
On the eve of the memorial ceremony of the new emperor.
Gu Honglian didn't know the specific procedure, and she didn't need to know, she just had to go in and see the situation! Xia Sheng said that he would follow her for everything, but he had no choice but to be together.
The two simply knocked out a maid and a guard, and changed into each other's clothes and mingled in the mix.
The sacrificial ceremony is very grand, and it can be said that it is a team of ten miles long street.
The sacrificial platform has long been set up, like a star-picking tower, and it is said to be a treasure of feng shui, with a total of ninety-nine steps, which means that the new dynasty will last for a long time.
Under the sacrificial platform, there is a raised platform, where the new emperor and his "concubine" rest.
Speaking of concubines, Gu Honglian had to sigh at Chu Rongyuan's scheming.
The Gu family helped him so much, but he didn't let Gu Miaolan become the queen, and he only got the position of a harem concubine, not the highest status, this time, he canonized a total of four concubines, and in terms of level, Gu Miaolan was only at the bottom.
As for the position of the Empress, it is temporarily vacant.
"What are you going to do?"
Xia Sheng asked her.
The two of them were quick and went undetected after they got in.
"There are so many people, let's just watch from afar." She said.
After entering here, her strange sensation became more and more obvious, and even the temperature of the bracelet increased.
She didn't know what this situation was about, and she didn't dare to let Xia Sheng find anything unusual, after all, an ordinary bracelet wouldn't be hot.
Xia Sheng said, "What to do, you can only do it today, tomorrow the sacrifice begins, if the new emperor comes, it will not be so easy to act." ”
"I know." She just knew, so she chose to come over on eve to check the situation first.
Xia Sheng suddenly pulled Gu Honglian, "Be careful, someone." ”
The two quickly hid under the sacrificial platform, and Gu Honglian looked over.
I saw a couple hurrying past them.
"Let's not meddle." She said.
Just, while talking.
A mask fell from the man who was placed in the middle.
"Ghost Face?" She asked.
Xia Sheng also saw it.
The people over there also found that when they looked back, someone happened to pass by at this time, so they didn't care about putting on their masks and left quickly, and their behavior was suspicious no matter how they looked at it.
Gu Honglian didn't say anything, wanting to keep up.
Xia Sheng hurriedly grabbed her, "You said don't be nosy." ”
"I'm just going to check it out." She said.
Yuqing didn't care if his mask was dropped like this, the only possibility was that he was held hostage.
When she saw it, she couldn't possibly not know anything.
hurriedly followed, and Xia Sheng also followed closely.
I don't know how long they went around, but they saw these people bring the middle person to a hole.
"King Yan, don't blame us, we are all just doing what we are told."
"Do you think you can trap this king in this way?"
"Yes, King Yan is very capable, but this is the ...... of the imperial tomb" He has reservations behind him, or rather, it is a thing that everyone knows.
In this imperial mausoleum, there are things to fear.
Gu Honglian and the others watched Yuqing Rang being brought in, and he did not resist.
"Lord Wang!"
Suddenly a few people jumped out, Gu Honglian saw clearly, it was Gongzi Feng and Tie Operator who took the lead, then, that person was Yuqing Rang.
The broken door has been lowered and is slowly falling.
Gongzi Feng and the iron operator couldn't find a mechanism to close the gate, so they could only follow into the stone gate, and then did not come out.
Gu Honglian frowned, she saw the position of the person in the mechanism where the stone was released, and hurriedly went over to open the door.
Only then did she close the broken stone, let the stone door get stuck in half, and lowered her body to check the situation, but someone pushed her behind, and then she also slid in.
Yes, slipped in.
No wonder there was no sound inside, it turned out that there was a mechanism inside, as soon as she entered, her feet opened her mouth, and the gravity of her body fell directly, and she heard a rumbling sound above her head, which should be the sound of the ground closing.
She tried to use her hands against the four walls to prevent her body from sliding, but there was a voice above her head, as if she was not alone, so she could only relax and slowly slide down.
After landing, the people behind him immediately caught up.
A sword was pinned against her neck.
"Who?" The other party asked.
"Gongzi Feng?" Gu Honglian judged from his voice, "It's me, Gu Honglian." ”
"Miss Gu?" Gongzi Feng was stunned for a moment, but at the same time put away his sword, "Why are you here?" ”
"Don't say it yet." Gu Honglian was perfunctory.
She pressed the button of the bracelet and pulled out the pearl of the night she had scavenged last time.
All of a sudden, the place that was so gray that they couldn't see each other lit up.
"Xia Sheng? Why did you come down too? Gu Honglian was surprised, it turned out that it was Xia Sheng who followed him.
Xia Sheng borrowed light and knocked on the wall, "I saw that they pushed you in, they wanted to pull you, but I didn't think it was a hole inside." ”
It's the same situation as she wants to save Yuqing and let them.
There was no point in talking about this now, she looked back, "How is the prince?" ”
As he spoke, Yuqingrang, who was sitting on the ground, stood up.
The light of the night pearl is completely enough to see clearly, and Yu Qingrang, who is not covered by a mask, still looks the same horror on his face, but Gu Honglian feels a little strange, and she can't say what is strange.
can only be blamed on the relationship between the night pearl lighting.
He walked over, "I didn't expect you to come anyway." ”
In a word, some people are incomprehensible.
Over there, Xia Sheng's search has ended, "It seems that there is no way to go up." ”
"If it doesn't work, go up, and the stone door can only be opened from the outside, not from the inside."
When Yuqing said this, he didn't look worried at all.
"So, what to do?" She asked.
Seeing that he wasn't like he was just like he was unable to resist, she wondered if he was just acting at all, as for the reason......
"There are two directions here, one, the entrance to the so-called imperial tomb, and the other, an unknown mausoleum. He said.
Sure enough, he knew.
There was no possibility of going up, so a few people naturally had to go inside.
Yu Qingrang, Gu Honglian, plus Xia Sheng, Gongzi Feng, and Tie Operator, the five of them knew each other. There are also the two people who just brought Yuqingrang in together, they fell to the ground, it seems that they have lost their breath, and they must also lose their lives in order to trap Yuqingrang here.
As for the other three, Gu Honglian hadn't seen them, but it seemed that they were from Yuqingrang, but ......
"You ......," she was stunned.
He looked at Xia Sheng, Xia Sheng nodded, did not speak, but also recognized the three people.
Isn't it the pair they helped them in the woods four days ago?
So, at that time, the person on the soft sedan was Yuqing Rang?
Yuqing let her see that she looked at the three people, and then at him, she knew that she had found out, but he did not explain.
"Let's go." He said.
Gu Honglian didn't move, "You weren't injured at all?" So, it was here on purpose? ”
"No, the prince is injured." The answer is an iron operator.
Gu Honglian actually smelled a strong smell of blood.
"So, before you go, I'll take care of it for you." She said.
"No, you don't." Yuqing let refuse.
Gongzifeng hurriedly went over and said, "Lord Wang, since we have already come in, then, it is not bad for these times, your body is important." ”
