309 Fork in the road
Lan Yunjuan and Lin Shopkeeper were divided into two teams, one team was led by Lan Yunjuan to find out in the old house, and the other team was led by Lin Shopkeeper, first to see the situation of the pawnshop, and then come here to meet them.
In view of the mechanism they had just seen, they were afraid that there would be any arrangement in this courtyard, so they became extremely cautious in their actions step by step, leaving two people to watch the wind from the roof, and the rest of them went down to the house to investigate. I didn't pay attention to it before, but when these two people looked at the wind, they found that this party also had a famous hall.
The house is located on a high ground, and from the top of the ridge, you can see half of Gyeonggi, which means that you can see the mountains at a glance. The two of them were surprised and decided to tell them about the discovery later.
There are many views from here, and similarly, the terrain is high, so if anyone stays here, it is easy to be spotted by the people who live here. The two of them bent down and looked around through the protruding bricks, and they saw an open mansion. The mansion was filled with armoured soldiers, dressed in the same clothes as the soldiers at the gates, with red tassels on top of their heads and a few people walking back and forth at the entrance.
This mansion is the residence of Lord Yin Song of Jingzhao Mansion, these two people are really alert, not long after the two of them bowed down, someone walked out of the inner courtyard of the mansion, looked towards this side, and when they saw a calm, they turned back to the inner courtyard.
After Lan Yunjuan and a few people went down to the house, they began to knock and beat, and when it came to the familiarity of this old house, no one was more than them. It's just that someone is doing something here right now, and they have to be cautious. They carefully staggered the location of the mechanism, and the mechanism hidden in the dark was gradually found by them, but there seemed to be nothing else in the room except the mechanism.
Lan Yunjuan looked at the ground under his feet, paced back and forth on it for two steps, only to feel that the feeling under his feet seemed to be different from before, he squatted down, knocked lightly twice, and knocked on the floor tiles next to him, things were as he guessed, this ground was raised, and it was a little empty when knocked.
He summoned three men, one of whom had been a good hand at the time, and they made way for him, and he tapped along the tiles, groping his fingers for the edges, and before long he saw two unusually long fingers and quickly draw a range along the surface.
At his suggestion, Lan Yunjuan and they each picked up a corner of the floor tiles, and the four of them worked together to lift the floor tiles. There is a secret passage below, and when you look at the dark past, you don't know where this secret passage leads.
Several other people also stopped what they were doing, and surrounded them together, the slope of the secret passage was a little steep, spreading diagonally into the distance, what they wanted to explore was below, and the blue cloud scroll was about to go down, but was stopped by another person.
"Yunjuan, I'll go down first, no one can predict what will happen below, and you are still needed to preside over the overall situation and deliver the news to the master. After he finished speaking, he didn't give Lan Yunjuan time to refuse, and slid down the ramp a little bit.
Then there were other brothers who followed him, sliding down one by one, and they didn't say anything, but left the blue cloud scroll last.
Lan Yunjuan clenched his fists, and knew that what the brothers said was right, he was the last to slide down the ramp, only to find that the ramp was not as thrilling as they looked, and along the ramp, the danger had been cleared by the brothers.
After a long period of darkness, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and it took a while to adjust to the light. What catches your eye is a few night pearls the size of goose eggs, and a single one is priceless, but here they have been reduced to tools for lighting.
The light that made him flash was not the pearl of the night, but the iron sheet inlaid on both sides, and the light of the oil lamp was scattered on the iron sheet and refracted into the eyes of the blue clouds, which made him unable to adapt for a while.
The brothers were all standing here, only the person who came down earlier was slightly injured, but it was not serious, and seeing the situation clearly, Lan Yunjuan breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that the road in front of them is divided into two roads, and in front of them, there is a fork in the road, and they are waiting here, waiting for the blue cloud to come up with an idea.
There are more than a dozen of them in their group, if they are divided into two teams and then investigate separately, it is not impossible, but I don't know what dangers are still lurking in the road ahead, and Lan Yunjuan doesn't want them to have any more sacrifices.
"Time is pressing, we can't delay, the news here must not be known, the situation of the shopkeeper Lin is not clear, I will take a few people to take the left road, Yunjuan you take the rest of the people to take the right road, an hour later, whether we go to the end or not, we have to return here to meet." One of them spoke first, and the man standing next to him quickly moved a step to the left.
Blue Cloud Roll nodded, and walked towards the fork in the right with the rest of the people. In the current situation, this is undoubtedly the most appropriate approach.
They walked very fast, but unexpectedly, they walked through it without the slightest danger, and there were no hidden mechanisms. The doubts in their hearts were even stronger, but at this time, they didn't care about anything else, the fire fold emitted a faint light, and the flames kept swaying from side to side as they walked.
Until they came to the end, they didn't see anything unusual, Lan Yunjuan's heart sank, if so, they were afraid that the danger would be on another road, I don't know what happened to them now?
There was a faint sound of speech above his head, Lan Yunjuan gathered his mind, he glanced at his brothers, and one of them squatted down in front of him, patted his shoulder, and motioned for him to step on.
The height of the two of them was superimposed, and only then did he reach the stone bricks above his head, and Lan Yunjuan tilted his head and put his ears on the stone bricks, and the sound above was clearly heard in his ears.
"Lord Song must guard the gate of the city, just wait for the three princes to clean up those stubborn courtiers, and when the time comes, once ascend to that incomparably lofty position, Ling Qixuan will be difficult to recover anything even if he has the heart, just wait for the three princes to ascend to the great treasure, Lord Song is the first hero of the new dynasty, how can the three princes treat you badly." The voice was sharp and thin, and it should have been a eunuch.
He painted a great prospect for Lord Song, as if people saw endless hope. Lord Song smiled obscenely with a shy belly, and he said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, they ruined my son, I will definitely not make them happy, the third prince has won the hearts and minds of the people, if it wasn't for Mo Guifei to control the middle palace, I'm afraid that I can't let this throne be taken away by them." ”
The voices of the two of them suddenly became smaller, they couldn't hear what they said, but they also knew that what they were planning must be something that lost their conscience, even Ling Qixuan's accession to the throne was said by them to be a usurper, these two forces didn't know when they hooked up together, they were all bad people on weekdays, and now that they are united, this Dong Ling may be tossed by them into something.
Blue Cloud Roll had a general plan in his heart, he made a silent gesture to the brothers below him, and then slowly fell off his shoulder, they did not alarm the people above, and returned the same way.
At the same time, the other group that had just separated from them had reached the end of the secret passage, and they had the same thoughts as Blue Cloud Scroll, thinking that there was an ambush on the other road. This fork in the road leads straight to the end, and it has always been a smooth road, and they are on guard against a hidden passage along the way, but they don't know that there is nothing.
When Lan Yunjuan and the others turned back, they came to the end. There were dots of light falling overhead, and looking at the hole, there was a large mass of withered grass overhead, and they were afraid that there would be an ambush above, so they didn't dare to make much action, just a little bit to remove the wild grass, this simple action, they spent a whole quarter of an hour.
They were amazed by the sight of the trees, the trees were all over the place, the patchwork was scattered, the large patches of withered yellow grass were clumped together, and there was not a single figure everywhere, this secret passage actually led to the outside of the city, but I don't know what kind of place this is, what can be determined is that it has left Gyeonggi.
They digested the surprise in their hearts, and estimated that the agreed time was almost up, so they turned around and hurried back. When they dug a secret passage in this courtyard, but if it was only a secret passage, there was no need to be so vigilant, there must be something else that they had not discovered.
On the way back they were more cautious than when they came, knocking and touching along the way, but finding nothing. Blue Cloud Roll and the others returned to the old house before them, and they left two people to meet them at the ramp, while the rest of the people continued to explore the house.
Only this time they were disappointed, the old house was empty, there was nothing unusual, except for this secret passage, they had to wait here for another group of people to see if they could find anything.
After the two teams met, they informed each other of the results of their investigations, and they confirmed their previous suspicions. There is no doubt that this old house was the hands and feet of the Song Mansion, but how did he hide such a huge project from everyone? When they had not left Beijing before, they had not found any news about this, and it was obvious that this secret passage had been going on for some years.
At this moment, the two people waiting on the roof saw that they had all come out, and hurriedly waved at them again and again, looking a little panicked. Lan Yunjuan suppressed the ** in their hearts who wanted to continue exploring, and several people glanced at each other, and withdrew from here first.
The two of them were lying on the ridge of the house and their bodies were a little stiff, but it was the life of their brother under them, which did not allow them to be careless. The two of them had been vigilant about the movements in the Song Mansion Yin's Mansion, and they saw that after the Song Mansion Yin and a person who looked like a eunuch came out of the inner room, he actually rushed over with someone straight here, and the two of them hurriedly called them up.
Seeing them getting closer and closer to here, the two who were waiting were in a hurry, but fortunately they were both back here at this moment. Hastily covering up the traces they had left behind, they hurried out with a rope hanging from the ridge of the house.
