Chapter 267: Secrecy

"The two secret passage maps only draw the middle part, and there is no entrance or exit," Xiao Zhan's voice showed a sense of regret.

Otherwise, why would he have been looking for so long?

And one of the secret passages is said to contain a million taels of silver, which my uncle needs to expand his army, and he must find it as much as he can.

Xiao Zhan and An Rong walked forward, and soon came to the end.

It's not that they don't go, it's that the road is over.

Blocked by a boulder.

Xiao Zhan tried a few times, but couldn't push it away, and looked back at An Rong and said, "Maybe this is the reason why the Hou Mansion dug another secret passage." ”

An Rong thinks too.

The two had no choice but to return.

As soon as he turned around, there was a sudden squeak, and something crawled past An Rong's footsteps.

An Rong screamed in fright, and in a panic, she jumped directly on Xiao Zhan and hugged people tightly.

When An Rong reacted, the squeak was a mouse.

An Rong, "....... ”

An Rong's face was red, her face was burning, and she actually hugged Xiao Zhan's arm.

What's worse is that she felt a big hand supporting her ass and preventing her from falling.

This is a sense of embarrassment that An Rong has not experienced in his two lifetimes.

She was very spineless and "scared" and fainted.

Xiao Zhan stood there, not knowing what to do.

It was pitch black in the secret passage, and only then did An Rong jump up in shock and knock off the fire fold in his hand.

He could sense An Rong's shortness of breath, and the whole person seemed to be suddenly hot, and she was pretending to be dizzy.

Xiao Zhan smiled lowly, she couldn't imagine that she would be so timid, afraid of rats and afraid of being like this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan's face suddenly changed.

She was afraid of him.

She is also afraid of rats.

Now in order to avoid the rats, I hugged him tightly and didn't let go.

Xiao Zhan didn't want to have this cognition.

But I have to admit that in An Rong's eyes, rats are more scary than him.

Xiao Zhanwu sulked to himself, but he didn't know that An Rong was even more depressed, why didn't you throw me down, I don't want to go down by myself.

It's a shame.

An Rong is thinking about it, who wants to be light, and he has changed from being held to being carried.

And the fall of her body made her very dizzy.

An Rong didn't scream out loud, and felt the light, and An Rong's heart settled a little.

It turned out that he was picking up fire.

Xiao Zhan carried An Rong away.

After walking a few steps, An Rong had to speak out, she was forced.

"Hey, don't go, don't go yet, the secret passage map has fallen to the ground," An Rong said in an embarrassed voice.

In fact, the secret path diagram had fallen to the ground as early as when she was frightened by the rats, but she had just remembered it.

Xiao Zhan stopped, An Rong thought he would go back the way he came.

Who would have thought that Xiao Zhan put An Rong down.

"My name is Xiao Zhan," he said lukewarmly as he handed the fire fold to An Rong.

An Rong pouted, she could feel that Xiao Zhan was angry, didn't she just shout Hey, as for this?

Although he was tough in his heart, An Rong also knew that he had just been rude.

There is even a trace of guilt in my heart, as if I have done too much.

He wasn't bad, he was frightened just now, and he didn't leave himself behind.

Obviously, he didn't like him several times and wanted to withdraw from his family.

An Rong felt that Xiao Zhan was very broad-minded.

An Rong stretched out his hand to take the fire fold.

Walk back with careful steps.

Xiao Zhan stood there watching, his brows furrowed.

He was sure that An Rong was afraid of rats and didn't dare to go back, so he begged him for help, who would have thought that An Rong would be so happy.

And there were rats walking around, and I didn't hear her scream.

An Rong is afraid of mice, but she is even more afraid of Xiao Zhan.

An Rong walked eight or nine steps forward, and then he saw the secret road map.

An Rong reached out to pick it up, well, An Rong screamed again.

A mouse slipped past her feet again.

An Rong was startled and slammed his body backwards.

Under the faint firelight, Xiao Zhan watched An Rong disappear in front of his eyes.

There was a hysterical cry in my ears.

Xiao Zhan moved under his feet, and before the secret door was closed, he broke in.

An Rong thought she was dead, but when she landed, she didn't feel any pain except for feeling a little dizzy.

An Rong thought that his life was big, but when he heard the muffled snort in his ears, An Rong felt some tinnitus.

She fell alone, why did Xiao Zhan snort in pain?

An Rong was about to get up, only to find that she was lying on Xiao Zhan's body, and her posture was a little sultry.

Xiao Zhan hugged An Rong tightly, when he thought of seeing An Rong disappear and her exclaiming, his mood seemed to be that at that moment, the sky and the earth were gone.

He was afraid of losing her.

Thinking about it, his arms tightened tighter.

The tight Anrong almost suffocated.

Ahem!

An Rong coughed violently, she wanted to cry, she was on the line of life and death, she saved herself, did he regret it, wanted to kill her?

An Rong wanted to speak, but she suddenly remembered that in Guilong Mountain, there was an accident in the carriage, she fell off the cliff, and it was Xun Zhi who saved her.

It feels so similar to what it is now, but it feels the same.

If it weren't for the obvious feeling of strangulation, she would have wondered if she was dreaming.

Xiao Zhan heard An Rong cough several times before he reacted and quickly let go.

He hugged Anrong and asked with concern, "Have you fallen and where does it hurt?" ”

An Rong looked at him blankly, and he couldn't react to Xiao Zhan's sudden change.

Xiao Zhan's words of concern suddenly stopped, because An Rong blurted out a sentence, "I'm fine, you seem to have fallen stupid, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Zhan's hands were still holding An Rong's arms, and when he heard An Rong say this, he suddenly felt that his hands were burning and panicked, and he took his hands back.

Turning around, he looked at the place he had discovered by accident.

An Rong was on the side, patting his cheek, looking very annoyed.

It's terrible, I feel that Xiao Zhan's rescue of her is very similar to the plot of Xun Zhi when he rescued her in Guilongshan.

Turning her head, she felt that Xiao Zhan's voice was very similar to Xun Zhi's.

And Xiao Zhan's words of concern just now, An Rong felt that he was in the clouds and mountains and fog, his body was floating, and he couldn't find a place to stay.

Not smug, but frightened.

An Rong even had a bad premonition that Xiao Zhan would not withdraw from his family, and nine times out of ten he liked her.

An Rong was worried, because Qingyan had told her.

Xiao Zhan's heart is very broad-minded, but her heart is very small, and if there is one person inside, it is extremely difficult for another person to live in, and she is not worried about the wild bees and butterflies outside.

If Xiao Zhan really likes her, what about Qingyan?

An Rong shook her head, she must have felt that something was wrong!

In her previous life, she didn't think that Su Junze loved her in her heart, but as a result, she didn't have a different heart.

Xiao Zhan cared about her, he must be afraid that Xiao Laoguo would scold him, after all, Peony had seen her and Xiao Zhan in the rockery with her own eyes.

Thinking of peony, An Rong was a little shocked.

She seems to have been in the secret passage for half an hour, and the maid won't make the whole Hou Mansion know that the Hou Mansion has a secret passage, right?!

It is said that the maid of Peony is more miserable at this time, she can't find An Rong, and she can't be sure if An Rong is okay.

The whole of the Bianhou Mansion is looking for Anrong.

Peony was forced to be helpless, and fainted in the rockery after taking the drug.

Only when she faints, can she not know where An Rong is, and she can not reveal the secret passage of the Hou Mansion.

An Rong desperately wanted to go out, but looking at the huge place where he couldn't find an exit, An Rong was discouraged.

When Xiao Zhan goes out, she can go out.

An Rong looked at Xiao Zhan and saw that he took out the soft sword on his waist, and slashed it on the stone wall, bringing out sparks.

The room was instantly bright.

The spark lit the candles in the room.

An Rong realized that there were many large boxes in the house, more than twenty.

Xiao Zhan walked over, opened the box, and a short arrow shot out, and his body flashed, and he avoided it.

An Rong stood on the side, and when he saw the big box, he had an instant feeling of golden light, like a box of golden light.

But in an instant, the light disappeared again.

An Rong's eyes widened, and An Rong saw a box of cloth instantly annihilated into ashes.

An Rong hurriedly walked over and asked Xiao Zhan, "Why is the box filled with cloth?" ”

This secret passage is damp and dark, and if you put the cloth here, your head must have been squashed by the door.

Decades have passed, and the cloth has long since rotted to ashes.

Xiao Zhan frowned.

The uncle said that the Qian family in the previous dynasty had a million taels of silver hidden in a secret passage.

My gut told him that this was the place, but there were more than twenty chests, and there was no shadow of any silver.

Is the rumor false?

Xiao Zhan didn't give up, he went to open the rest of the boxes again.

Not surprisingly, the boxes were filled with cloth and rotted to ashes.

An Rong stood aside and watched, his brows furrowed.

"Are you looking for treasure in the secret passage?" An Rong asked.

Xiao Zhan raised his eyes to look at An Rong and nodded.

An Rong folded her hands, and there were some things she wanted to say, but she seemed to feel that it was not necessary.

Because the boxes are all empty, if there is really a treasure, will she let Xiao Zhan take it away?

Although this used to belong to the Qian family of the previous dynasty, this mansion has been rewarded to the Hou Mansion by the emperor, and every grass and tree here is owned by the Hou Mansion of Wu'an.

Naturally, it also includes the contents of the secret passages.

But it seems that if Xiao Zhan really wants to take it away, she can't stop it.

Now the most important thing is, how are they going to get out?

An Rong pondered, but Xiao Zhan said, "The imperial treasury is tight, the emperor has not paid money for two months, and my uncle, as a general, needs this money." ”

Xiao Zhan meant that he would continue to check in the secret passage of the Hou Mansion, hoping that An Rong would keep it secret.

What else can An Rong say?

She has never been greedy for money, if Xiao Zhan took it for herself, An Rong would definitely not agree.

But she knew that Xiao Zhan was not that kind of person, and he was paying the soldiers silver, and An Rong heard the third wife complain more than once that the salary of the third-rank military general was only equivalent to the fourth-grade salary of the civil official.

Even the generals are like this, let alone the soldiers.

Those people spilled their blood on the battlefield, but they couldn't afford to pay their salaries, and An Rong couldn't bear it.

An Rong didn't speak, only nodded.

Guarantee that the secret path will not be told to anyone.

With An Rong, Xiao Zhan couldn't continue to investigate the secret passage, and there were assassins in the secret passage.

He wants to send An Rong out first.

Xiao Zhan found the exit first, and then came out with An Rong in his arms.

Wherever the two entered the secret passage, they came out.
