Since Zhang Pengzu came into the court to accompany Liu Ai, they went to Mr. Weng Weng in Shiqu Pavilion to learn poetry and books together, and slept in the same bed at night.

Zhang Pengzu is more shy and introverted, but he is careful and cautious, Liu Ai has experienced hardships since he was a child, he is young and old, and he is bold and courageous, so Zhang Pengzu follows Liu Ai's ass and turns around.

Bai and the others still went to Shiqu Pavilion to listen to the scriptures very obediently, and Bai Zhanghe also stared at their every move, so they behaved decently and did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi. But at night, it is like a loose dove, flying freely. Originally, when Liu was alone, Lao Bai and Lao Dou couldn't control him, but now with Zhang Pengzu, it was even more uncontrollable, so he had to open his eyes and close his eyes, and let the two children play. Of course, if the two of them do anything out of the ordinary, Lao Bai and Lao Dou will also report to Zhang He.

After a boring white, after nightfall, it was the happy time of the two children.

This night, the clouds are very thick, there is no moonlight, let alone stars, it is pitch black, Zhang Pengzu, who is a little afraid of the dark, hid in the house and did not dare to come out, Liu Ai has made fun of him: "I, Pengzu, you coward, dare not go to a place that is a little dark at night." ”

"I'm sick, I don't dare to go to anyone, I dare not go alone, I dare to go anywhere with you." Zhang Pengzu was a little unconvinced, Liu Yi had already said mischievously: "Isn't it, if you dare to go tonight, I will take you to a place, there is a dark passage, last time I walked half by myself and didn't go down, if you are brave enough, follow me, I must finish this dark passage this time." ”

"Whoever doesn't dare, just go."

So each of them carried a lantern and walked side by side to the north side of the chamber. The north side of the tyrannical weaving room is the north wall of Weiyang Palace, because this is a place to do hard labor, usually few big people come here, only the palace guards patrol by, so it is more dilapidated and messy, and even the palace wall is overgrown with weeds.

Liu Ai has brought Zhang Pengzu here, that Zhang Pengzu is more courageous, if it is white, he is still not afraid, it is now night, and from time to time there are a few mice rushing out, so the more he walks, the more frightened he feels, so he holds a lantern in one hand and holds Liu Ai tightly with the other hand.

"You're not afraid, why are you holding my hand so tightly?"

Liu Yi has joked, Zhang Pengzu pretended to be calm and said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I can't see the road clearly in the dark." ”

Liu Yi pointed to the palace wall and said, "Do you know where this wall is?" ”

"I know, it's the North Que Jiadi."

Liu Ai has pointed to the palace in the south and said: "The north of the north is the most prosperous place outside the palace, and the south is also the most gorgeous and most fertile in the palace, only we are the most quiet and dilapidated here, to be honest with you, before you came in, I often came here by myself at night." ”

"Brag, you're sick, you dare to come at night, didn't Lao Bai Lao Dou bring you over."

"What are you bragging, Lao Bai and Lao Dou are all cowards, they don't dare to come over at night, there is a big pit in the grass in front, and there is a hole hidden under the big pit, which I found after a long time, I'll take you there."

After taking Zhang Pengzu's hand, he went to the grass, Zhang Pengzu was really scared, but he couldn't help being pulled by Liu Yi, so he had to follow him hard.

"Peng Zu, look, it's here."

Liu Ai had pointed to a pile of weeds in the corner of the wall and said, Zhang Pengzu didn't see anything after looking at it for a long time, so he said: "I'm sick, why can't I see that there is a hole here, it's just a big pit." ”

At this time, Liu Yi has jumped into the big pit, the big pit is full of weeds, and there are some leaves and garbage, there is a big grass bush in the north of the pit, Liu Yi has asked Zhang Pengzu to help hold his lantern, and use his hands to move a big stone in the grass, and a hole is really exposed, the hole is about two feet wide, and the hole is dark inside, very terrifying.

Liu Ying had already hurriedly beckoned Zhang Pengzu to jump down, and then entered the cave together. At first, Zhang Pengzu was still a little scared and didn't dare to go in, Liu Yi was already busy saying: "Peng Zu come in, there is a dark passage inside, very wide." ”

After that, he pulled Zhang Pengzu in. The dark passage is about as wide as the entrance of the cave, and it is also downhill at the beginning, and it is necessary to walk with the cat on its waist, and after walking about more than a zhang, it is a flat road, and the height is also one person high, similar to the secret passage of the Boji Medical Center. Last time, Liu Yi didn't dare to go anymore when he walked here by himself, and this time Zhang Pengzu was his companion, he was even bolder, although Zhang Pengzu was a coward, but it was indeed different to feel a little more.

The more the two walked, the wider they felt, and in some places they could even walk side by side, and then walked about a foot away, and suddenly saw a fork in front of them, one was to continue to the right front, and the other was to the right rear. This made Liu Yi a little unexpected, but the two teenagers who were full of curiosity still wanted to continue exploring, so they continued to walk towards the dark passage in front of them.

Two or three zhang further ahead, there is a fork, one to the right front, one to the left front, which way to go? Liu Yi thought for a moment and decided to continue walking to the right. After walking about five or six zhang away, he suddenly saw a door at the end of the dark passage, the door was closed, and the two of them couldn't push it open, Liu Yi thought to himself, this should be the end of the secret passage, it is estimated that behind the door is the secret room, where is this place?

"I'm sick, this should be outside the palace, right?"

Zhang Pengzu was still more careful, and only listened to him continue: "The entrance of the cave is by the palace wall, and it is also very close to the palace wall. ”

Liu Yi smiled and said: "I thought you were so scared that you didn't know the direction, it seems that you are still very careful, now it's the end of the scolding let's go back, there is a dark passage on the left, do you want to go and see it again." ”

"Just go, what are you afraid of?"

It seemed that Zhang Pengzu had already made up his mind and was not afraid, so the two teenagers turned back as before, and turned to the left when they reached the first fork. When walking more than two feet, I found that there was a fork in the road, it seems that there are really a lot of secret passages leading to the palace Zheng outside the north wall, in fact, this is not strange, there are many secret passages between the palace and the outside at that time, and I don't know which year which dug it, it is estimated that the palace is needed when fighting.

When they walked to the first fork they encountered when they just entered the cave, Liu Ai had said to Zhang Pengzu: "Peng Zu, we haven't walked through this secret road yet, why don't you try this one and see where you go?" ”

"Okay, let's go."

It seems that Zhang Pengzu is also the same as Liu Ai, curious and active.

Keep walking, and find that there are forks, there are so many forks in the dark road, this time they really feel dizzy, where are they going?
