Chapter 177: Gao Xue's true face
Therefore, Chen Meng at this time can be said to have 10,000 grass and mud horses, galloping in his heart, and almost greeting the eighteen generations of his strong ancestors.
However, Chen Meng didn't say anything, but glanced at the entrance of the secret passage, and then looked at Li Yan, wanting to see what Li Yan said.
And after Li Yan pulled the rope, when he saw the entrance of the dark passage that appeared, he was confused, looking at the rope in his hand, which was still pulling. After a few seconds, Li Yan came back to something, looked at the birth in his hand, looked at the entrance of the dark passage, and understood what was going on.
No wonder the two have been looking for so long, but they haven't found it. It turns out that this high strength is designed in this way. With a design like this, basically people will ignore the one in Li Yan's hand. Because no matter how you look at it, it's all a rope that pulls the wind, and who knows that this is the switch of the mechanism?
But I have to admire this strong cleverness and cunning, if it weren't for Li Yan, who was annoyed by this study, and this rope swept on Li Yan's face a few times, Li Yan would not have pulled a rope. If you don't pull it, you won't be able to find this problem, let alone the entrance to this secret passage.
Since they can't find it, they and Chen Meng will always think that this study is indeed not the entrance to the secret passage, so as to divert the target. When the time comes, it will really be missed, not to mention the miss, and the two of them will waste a lot of time investigating other places.
At that time, not only a lot of time is wasted, but also a lot of energy is wasted, and nothing is found in the end, which makes it impossible to grasp high-strength information, which will cause a lot of inconvenience for subsequent actions.
Although Li Yan also asked Chen Meng to arrange people to check the high-strength industries, to see if these industries were abnormal, and if there were any suspicious people. It's still fast, but it's going to be a lot slower. When the time comes, it will be at least five or six days after this information is obtained.
However, after grasping this information, it is necessary to investigate and investigate one by one, which also takes at least two or three days, so these times add up to almost ten days. However, it was only fourteen days before Gao Qiang's father and son left, but there was not so much time to waste on these things.
Therefore, as long as you are in this high mansion, after finding the entrance of the secret passage, you will save a lot of time, and you can also find out whether this secret passage leads directly to the outside of the city, or whether it needs to pass through other places and transit it, so as to achieve the result of leaving the county town.
Li Yan and Chen Meng glanced at each other, and said to Chen Meng: "Sure enough, as I expected, this old boy set the entrance of the secret passage here in the study. Now that we've found the entrance, we'll save a lot of time and we'll be able to do it a lot. ”
"So next, I'll ask Brother Chen to go in and check, I'm here to answer you, you just need to find out how many exits there are, and the rest will wait for tomorrow night, and then come and check out."
When Chen Meng heard this, he also shook his head helplessly, saying that he agreed with Li Yan's arrangement, he went down, and Li Yan answered it on top in case something unexpected happened.
Chen Meng came to the entrance of the dark passage, did not stop, and entered it directly. Chen Meng entered the dark passage, the light inside was dim, every few tens of meters, hundreds of meters, there was an oil lamp, burning slightly.
If there is a lamp burning in it, it means that there is a vent inside, and the air provided by this vent is relatively limited. Otherwise, why would this high strength set up a lamp for 100 meters?
The purpose of an oil lamp every few tens of meters or hundreds of meters is to reduce the consumption of oxygen by the combustion of the oil lamp, and if there are too many oil lamps, it will cause a lack of oxygen inside. Once the oxygen supply inside is insufficient, people will faint after being in it for a long time, and they will die in serious cases.
After Chen Meng entered, Li Yan was always vigilant against all the movements around him, in case some people arrived, such as Gao Zhenyin's house, and Gao Qiang's wife and concubine, who came to find Gao Qiang.
If they come and find Li Yan and this secret way, things will be difficult. It's not that I'm worried that Li Yan and Chen Meng won't be able to get out, nor is it worried about finding out the true identities of Li Yan and Chen Meng, after all, both of them are wearing black night clothes, and their faces are also covered, so there's nothing to worry about this.
Instead, someone was exposed in the secret passage of the Gao Mansion, and the secret passage in the Gao Mansion was also exposed. When the time comes, it will be a lot more difficult to act. There is also Gao Qiang who knows that the court is also suspicious of him, after all, with his cunning level, he will not just think lightly, but it is as simple as a thief in the family.
Therefore, as long as there is a suspicion, Gao Qiang will be highly vigilant about Gaofu and increase manpower. In addition to these, there is also the time to speed up leaving Datang, how to make all Li Yan's arrangements for nothing, and he is completely busy first.
I still want to catch big fish, but I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, and I won't say anything, and there will be many people who will suffer.
Some people may want to know that this Gao Qiang went to meet with the Turks from the secret passage, and after the meeting, isn't this coming back? If Gao Qiang and Chen Meng bump into each other when they come back, isn't this the same thing?
Hehe, don't worry about this, Chen Meng is a master. As a master, in such a situation, he will not make a single sound, but he can hear any sound around him clearly.
Therefore, as long as Gao Qiang comes back, Chen Meng and Gao Qiang, at a certain distance, Chen Meng will find and hear the abnormality, so as to exit this dark passage, quickly return to the study, close the entrance of the dark passage, and leave here quickly.
So there is no need to worry about these things, you just need to rest assured and wait quietly for Chen Meng to come out.
..........
As Chen Meng entered the dark passage, time seemed to be pulled by a god, and it passed very slowly. Li Yan was in this study, and when Chen Meng came out, he felt as if he had been waiting for half an hour, or an hour.
After all, waiting here is really boring enough, and there is nothing else to do except be vigilant around. Although there are a lot of books in this study, the light inside is dark, and there is only a faint light, and I can only barely see the surrounding scenes.
But if you read the words on the book clearly, it is impossible, you can only light the lamp, and lighting the lamp is purely exposing yourself, which belongs to the rhythm of looking for death. So I could only wait boredly, but I took out the short sword that Chen Meng gave him, and played with it in my hand.
Time passed little by little, and Li Yan did not forget to remember the time in such a boring waiting. From the time Chen Meng entered, nearly two quarters of an hour had passed. And at this time, Li Yandu began to feel a little sleepy, if Chen Meng didn't come out within half an hour, he felt a little unbearable.
Time passed another quarter of an hour, Li Yan was too bored waiting here, and his drowsiness was getting stronger and stronger. I was going to move slightly, but as soon as this idea came out, Chen Meng came out of the secret passage.
Seeing Chen Meng coming out, Li Yan complained slightly and said, "If you don't come out again, I'll fall asleep." ”
And Chen Meng, who had just come out, heard Li Yan's words, and directly rolled his eyes speechlessly, and the truth was to scold: "Made, Lao Tzu is tired and tired inside, you actually give me a sentence, and I will fall asleep while waiting." ”
But Chen Meng still forced this idea back and didn't scold it, because he also knew that Li Yan was doing this for the first time and didn't stay up all night. What's more, people who are bored here are indeed easy to get sleepy.
Li Yan saw Chen Meng's speechless face, and didn't want to talk to himself, so he just smiled slightly and said, "Since we came out, let's leave first, let's stay here tonight temporarily, and come back tomorrow night." ”
When Chen Meng heard Li Yan's words, he nodded without an opinion, just said lightly, and said, "Yes." ”
Seeing that Chen Meng had no opinion, Li Yan pulled the rope slightly, and the entrance of the secret passage was closed after a while. The two of them tidied up the study, and it looked like no one had been here.
After everything was done, the two of them quickly left the study and walked in the direction of the outer courtyard. The two of them did not walk in the garden this time, but chose to walk in this high mansion, the area where the subordinates lived, because in this area, the buildings are much denser, so as to hide themselves.
This avoids those who are watching, finding themselves waiting for others. Therefore, the time it takes to get out of the house here is much less, unlike when you come in, in order to avoid those eyeliners, you can go east to bypass and disturb it.
The two of them moved quickly in the high mansion, quickly leaning towards the direction of the wall. But when the two of them were walking through several buildings and were about to approach the wall, a special house was opened, and a little light in the room shone out.
The door was opened, and out of it came a little girl dressed in plain cloth, with a delicate appearance and a lovely appearance, aged eighteen or nineteen. Although the little girl is cute, her body is relatively thin, which makes her body not very full, which makes her beauty greatly discounted. At first glance, it is clear that this is the result of malnutrition.
Just as they were about to pass by this position, Li Yan and Chen Meng had to stop their steps, hide aside, and look in the direction of the hut. When the two of them saw this little girl, they were very curious. I was mainly curious about how this little girl's appearance could be so beautiful.
