Chapter 40: The Hidden Underground "Town"

Seeing the sad face of the old eunuch, when he looked at Li Hanyan again, he actually felt a little more sympathetic, but when he thought that the king of a country in the Tang Dynasty would be this cold-blooded guy in the future, his body unconsciously shuddered, and it was terrible to think about.

"Okay, you step down first, this palace still has something to talk to the crown princess." At this time, Li Hanyan raised his hand and asked the old eunuch to retreat first.

The old eunuch was respectful, did not dare to say anything, bowed and bowed, then turned and walked towards a wall, and with a stroke of his palm, a secret door appeared.

It was about one meter high, only two or three feet wide, and it was dark inside, and I didn't know where it led, but I could vaguely see a faint candlelight flickering inside, and the old eunuch took down a candle behind the secret door, and then staggered in. At first, the sound of stamping on the steps and the ground could be heard, but after a while it fell silent and no more sounds were heard.

My eyes were wide open, his mouth opened in an "O" shape, and he was completely sanded, I didn't expect that there was really a secret passage in this hall, and there was also a dungeon connected to it, it was incredible!

Seeing that I was stunned and speechless, Li Hanyan clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "There are so many such dark passages like spider webs, it is not surprising. ”

"Why do you have nothing to do with so many secret passages? It can't be that there's a treasure hidden in it, right? I looked at him suspiciously, trying to see some flaws in the micro-expressions on his face.

Li Hanyan chuckled: "Every secret passage will lead to a specific location for escape, murder, and corpse destruction." ”

Hearing him say this, my whole face collapsed, "You, killing? ”

Li Hanyan looked at me calmly, "This palace doesn't know how you are in the sky, but this is the case in the mortal world, in this muddy water, if I don't kill them, they will kill me, this palace has no choice." ”

This topic is too heavy and too realistic, I don't even know how to answer for a while, Li Hanyan disagreed, picked up an apple casually, took a bite, and said, "You came here to steal offerings?" ”

"No, if it weren't for the old witch surnamed Wang who was afraid that you would catch a cold, and asked me to send you a warm dress, I would have been lying in bed by now."

"What about Dayu?"

I grabbed a bag from behind me and threw it over, "Ouch, it's inside." ”

Li Hanyan opened the baggage, shook out a plush robe with gold patterns and a black background, shook it, and suddenly covered my head.

It was suddenly dark in front of him, and he grabbed at a loss, threw the robe aside, and glared at him angrily, "Do you say that you are sick!" Auntie, I limped over to give you clothes, and you didn't kowtow to me to thank me, forget it, and tease me! ”

Li Hanyan plucked his ears with his little thumb, and said with a look of disdain: "Shout, it's best to call all the nearby patrols and let them see how the crown princess of the current dynasty steals the offerings." ”

"You're scaring me? Then I'll eat it all first, and then shout! When the time comes, it will be said that you stole the food, and I will have to drag you into the water anyway! I glared at him fiercely, then turned around in front of him and picked up a piece of pastry again and stuffed it into my mouth.

"When you're full, get out of here, don't disturb the wall of the palace!" As soon as the words fell, he kicked me off the futon.

"Ouch hey...... Can't you tap your feet?! I grinded my teeth angrily, and as soon as my heart was horizontal, I simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up, gritting my teeth and saying angrily: "Who are you as an aunt and grandmother, who will come and go as soon as you call?" I'm just going to leave here today, what can you do with me?! ”

Lying on the ground and eating the last bite of pastry, he looked up at the dome above the main hall, dragged back the robe he had just thrown out, and pillowed it under his head as a temporary pillow: "My leg was swollen and bloody, and this limp came here to bring you clothes, am I easy, now I can't walk, I have to rest and rest." ”

Li Hanyan frowned slightly, and his face became a little displeased: "Then when are you going to leave?" ”

"At least I have to wait until my foot doesn't hurt anymore and I can walk. It's okay, you kneel yours, I'll sleep mine, don't pay attention to me. ”

At this point in time, the people in the Prince's Mansion probably haven't slept yet, and now when they go back, they may bump into her Rakshasa grimace again, so let's wait, anyway, there are both fruits and pastries here, and it doesn't hurt to stay for a while.

"It's still delicious from the ancestors, and the ordinary food of the Prince's Mansion is simply not the same level, it's really good......," I sighed as I touched my round belly.

I didn't hear the cold ice answer for a long time, and I couldn't help yawning, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw a silent handsome face appear in front of me.

Immediately, he tilted his head to the side with some embarrassment and coughed dryly, "Why are you so close to me?" Get on your knees and go. ”

Li Hanyan looked down condescendingly, his eyes were deep, like a pitch-black and bottomless abyss, and if he looked at it more, he would fall into it and lose himself.

He squatted down, his long knobred fingers landed on the top of my hair, brushed it over my ear, stroked it all the way down my cheek, and whispered softly: "You don't want to leave, but you want to share the difficulties with this palace?" ”

"Ahh I hurriedly defended, but somehow, the place on my face that I had touched suddenly became hot, as if it was about to burn, and it was very uncomfortable.

"Then why are you blushing?" Li Hanyan chuckled, and as soon as the words fell, he immediately took out his hand and forcibly twisted my head to the side, and looked at him.

He was so close that if the grim face had gone an inch, their lips would have touched.

This guy wants to take advantage of the old lady again! I grinded my teeth secretly, and just as Li Hanyan was inadvertent, he raised his hand violently and opened his wrist, jumped up directly from the ground, and took several steps back before stopping his figure, looking at him vigilantly.

Li Hanyan had already gotten up at this time, and said after a while: "What, are you afraid?" Why don't you go back now? ”

"Who said I was scared! The more you chase me, the more I don't want to leave, anyway, this is not your house, my aunt and grandmother can stay as long as I want! ”

As soon as I had said that, I took the robe and the futon and walked to the dimly lit corner of the hall, and sat curled up, sulking at myself.

Li Hanyan glanced at it and said, "Are you sure you won't go back to sleep?" If you catch a cold, this palace doesn't care. ”

"You don't have to worry about it." I muttered sullenly.

Li Hanyan shook his head a little helplessly, and didn't say anything more, letting me curl up in the corner and sulk, while I sat down on the futon again and closed my eyes to recuperate.

After the time of a stick of incense, but when he heard a "pop", Li Hanyan opened his eyes and looked over here, got up and walked over, and called softly: "Zi Mo? The Crown Princess? Slept? ”

(After a day of tossing, I was already asleep after sleepiness.) )

"His Royal Highness the Prince." At this moment, an old voice sounded in the hall, and when he heard someone calling him, Li Hanyan turned his head to look, only to see the old eunuch walking out of the secret door again.

The old eunuch bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang is going back?" ”

"No, but asleep." Li Hanyan squatted down as he spoke, tucked up the robe I was holding, and then turned around and walked towards the secret door, "Thank you, Grandpa Hai." ”

The old eunuch hurriedly bowed down: "Your Highness's words are really tormenting the old slave, this is all within the old slave's business, Your Highness, please." ”

Li Hanyan nodded slightly, dodged through the secret door and entered a secret passage.

As Li Hanyan said, this kind of secret passage abounds in the palace and the prince's mansion, and this secret passage in the Taimiao was opened up by Emperor Taizong when he was building the Taimiao.

The people who know are only five fingers (no more than five people), and after the death of Emperor Taizong, this secret passage was also abandoned.

If it weren't for the announcement of the Lu Kingdom, I am afraid that this secret path would have disappeared forever in the long years.

This old eunuch's name is Haike Han, who has received the favor of the eldest grandson queen and has been able to survive until now, and has been on duty in the Taimiao all these years, so he can clean and reuse this secret passage.

This secret passage is not very long, and after walking for about a cup of tea, you will come to a small underground palace, and the four walls have traces of erosion by time.

Looking inside, there is a bed, a six-sided desk, and pen, ink, paper, inkstone, candles, oil lamps and other items on the table.

Gonggong Hai walked to a stone wall, stretched out his hand and nudged on a stone brick, the mechanism was activated, and a stone door was slowly opened with the sound of "crunching".

Behind it is a newly built secret passage, very narrow, with obvious traces of excavation on both stone walls, nearly 100 meters long, leading to another more hidden underground palace.

A master and a servant, one after the other in the dimly lit corridor and then marched into a tea kung fu, into a corner, this corridor suddenly became spacious, in front of the eyes is also suddenly bright, not far ahead, the lights are bright, a small scale of underground place comes into view.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" When a group of guards guarding there saw Li Hanyan coming, they all knelt on the ground and paid their respects.

Li Hanyan nodded slightly, walked in with his hands behind his back, and Gonggong Hai followed closely behind, passing through a stone gate, and his horizons suddenly widened a lot.

This is a dungeon, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small town, as far as the eye can see, there are many houses, wide streets, alleys interspersed, horizontal and vertical; There are ancestral halls, pavilions and rockeries, and artificial lakes and small bridges and flowing water......

This is a large scale of buildings, like the temple, with the traces of erosion by the years, but because it is buried under the ground all the year round, although it is not damaged by wind and rain, but also because the stars and the sun and the moon are not seen all year round, the environment is dry and humid, and the material of the house will easily decay and collapse.

At this moment, a burly man walked up, dressed in black armor, carrying a three-foot long sword, thick eyebrows and beads, and a standard "country" face.

When he came to Li Hanyan, he clasped his fists with both hands, leaned over and bowed: "Deputy Admiral of the Imperial City Division - Wei Si, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Admiral Wei is exempt." Li Hanyan flattened the middle-aged man named Wei Si, then put his hands behind his back, and pointed as he walked: "The palace has walked through the newly opened secret passages, and some places are too narrow, which is extremely inconvenient for strong people, and the front is narrow and the back is wide, this is the tomb custom of the two Jin Dynasty periods, I am afraid it will make those soldiers think more." ”

"The subordinates will, and this will let people go forward to improve."

"I'm not in a hurry for a while, let's go in first." Li Hanyan raised his hand.

"Command!" Wei Si clenched his hands into fists, immediately took two quick steps, and opened the door in front of him, this is a side room, the space is not very large, but for two or three people, it is quite spacious, not very crowded.
