Chapter 1: The Secret Room
"My lord! I've finished resting, so let me lead you to Jia Yiren's treasure land. After resting for half a day, Zhang Lei finished eating and hurried to lead Liren to the place he said.
Liren looked at Zhang Lei and looked like a red-eyed rabbit and asked, "Are you really resting?" ”
"Lord Qi, it's time to rest in your humble duties." Zhang Lei was convinced.
"Alright! Lead the way in front of the head. Rihito shook his head, and only followed him.
Zhang Lei took Liren through the back hall and came to the back garden of the Zhizhou Mansion. I saw that the back garden was full of guards inside and out, and the entire huge back garden was guarded by even a mouse.
Li Ren was stunned and said: "Zhang Lei, you are really tight!" ”
Zhang Lei blushed and said to Liren: "Lord, don't you know, the things hidden in this back garden are worth the tax income of the imperial court for two years." ”
"Really?" Rihito was a little unconvinced.
Zhang Lei nodded affirmatively and said, "If you don't believe me, please come with me." As he spoke, he took Rihito to a rockery by the pool in the back garden. Then he said to the guard next to him, "Open the door!" ”
"No!" After the guard promised, he walked to a hollow in the rockery and reached into an inconspicuous deep hole. I don't know how the guard's hand into the hole moves, but I hear a slight rattle. Zhang Lei hurriedly opened his mouth at this time and said to Liren: "My lord, please look at the pool." ”
Li Ren looked at the place pointed by Zhang Lei, only to see that it was an inconspicuous pool of lotus flowers in the garden, which was sparkling and beautiful, and there were no lotus flowers blooming on the pool in winter, only the lotus leaves that were about to rot were still floating on the pool. Seeing that there was no movement, Liren looked at Zhang Lei in puzzlement and said, "Nothing!" ”
Zhang Lei pointed to the edge of the pool and said to Liren: "My lord, please see, is the water level of the pool dropping a little bit?" ”
Li Ren took a closer look at the edge of the pool, and really saw that the water level of the pool was dropping a little bit, and in the conversation with Zhang Lei just now, the water level of the pool had dropped by about a foot.
Rihito watched slowly with bated breath, counting the time in his heart, and just when his heart beat 720 times, the water in the pool had been drained. At this time, the pool is about two or three people high, and at the bottom of the pond there is a path overgrown with water weeds, two times wide, as if it were a large bluestone paved path, extending to a large round stone one person high in the center of the pool.
At this time, Zhang Lei immediately ordered someone to go to the front with a shovel to shovel off the aquatic plants and moss attached to the road ahead, so as not to slip on it. After a while, the soldiers who eradicated the aquatic weeds came back and reported: "Lord Qiqi, Captain Zhang, the aquatic weeds have been eradicated. ”
Zhang Lei nodded to the soldiers, turned his head and said to Liren: "Please come with me!" With that, he took Riehito down the stone stairs to the bottom of the pool, walked through the bluestone paved path, and came to a large stone more than one person high.
I saw Zhang Lei pressing the protruding part of the stone, and the round stone was only gently split in half from the middle. Listening to the click, the side of them slid to the side, and the half of the stone inside revealed a dark and secluded stone cave in the middle, which was less than a person high. Following the light, I saw a few steps at the entrance of the stone cave, and the stone stairs disappeared into the cave.
Liren looked at Zhang Lei standing in front of him, only to see him take the torch of the guards on the side, and said nothing to Liren, just turned around and nodded to himself, and then walked into the deep hole without looking back.
Li Ren knew in the back that Zhang Lei was concerned about his own safety, but Li Ren was still full of confidence in his martial arts. At the same time, Zhang Lei, who is the most intimate to him, has any actions to forget his own safety for the sake of him. Seeing Zhang Lei disappear into the dark and secluded cave, Liren also followed, took the torch prepared by the guard, and entered the cave.
Rihito, who entered the cave, saw it. The stone staircase rotates step by step down until it reaches a place where the torches do not shine. Li Ren used a yang true qi and quickly chased Zhang Lei downward with his feelings.
After a while, I caught up with Zhang Lei, and I saw him cautiously trying down step by step, for fear that there would be some mechanism here. Liren patted him on the shoulder from behind, and Zhang Lei jumped up in fright.
At this time, Liren saw Zhang Lei in the back and was afraid to laugh, and then Zhang Lei said: "Haha! I didn't expect you kid to be scared sometimes. ”
Zhang Lei knew that it was Liren who came down, and after calming down, he said a little unhappily to Liren: "My good lord, you don't know that people are scary, scared to death." After a pause, he asked a little blamedly, "That's right!" My lord, what are you doing now? We haven't figured it out yet, and if any news hurts you, then I'll be a sinner for the ages. ”
"What are you afraid of! Even if he has agency news, this little meaning can't hurt me. Stop talking nonsense. Let's go! After Li Ren finished speaking, he urged impatiently. Zhang Lei just shook his head, there was no way but to walk in front more cautiously.
After a while, the spiral staircase down was over, and a stone gate blocked the way. Zhang Lei carefully looked left and right with a torch, and finally found the mechanism to open the door in an inconspicuous corner.
This mechanism to open the door is just a small stone beast, a bit like a stone lion outside the gate of the state capital. But after watching it carefully, Li Ren clapped his hands and said, "This is not a stone lion, it's Pixiu." This is really an image! Hehe! ”
Zhang Lei rolled his eyes on the side and said, "Lord! Don't be surprised, okay? ”
"Huh! Lapsus linguae! Liren said to Zhang Lei embarrassedly.
Zhang Lei sighed and walked in front of the little stone beast. Grab it and twist it vigorously. Just listen to "Whew~!" With a bang, the stone door opened.
At this time, Liren asked in the back: "Zhang Lei, did Jia Yiren recruit all the organs?" ”
Zhang Lei stood up and looked at Liren and said, "My lord, Jia Yiren himself said that he had told all the organs. But he was afraid that he would keep a hand, so he didn't dare to let the lord come down first. ”
Liren nodded to Zhang Lei and said, "I understand your hard work, and I don't need to explain." But you have to know later that I'm not a small agency that can do anything to me. Don't take your life for me, you know? ”
After listening to what Liren said to himself, Zhang Lei was moved to tears, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern for the humble position, and the humble name is in my heart." ”
Rihito patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay! Don't talk nonsense, let's get down to business. ”
Zhang Lei nodded to Liren and said nothing more. Resolutely walked in front and entered the stone gate.
