Chapter 182: Return to the Secret Passage
"Xue Ning! Don't be too sad, the most important thing now is to bury the dead sisters and let them be buried in peace! After waiting for a while, Wei Yunxuan came to Han Xuening's side and said.
Mr. Wen and Wu Tong also walked over, and Mr. Wen said, "Yes! The most important thing for us is to find a safe place first and bury the dead first! Now there is a shortage of soldiers outside, and these dead sisters and brothers will be settled. Let's think about the future. ”
Han Xuening also knew in her heart that now was not the time to be sad, and she couldn't put on a show for the dead.
Now you have to keep yourself and your living sisters in order to have a place to turn over.
However, it is really difficult to find a place to bury these dead sisters, and it is not easy to be noticed.
"Lord Wang! Now we can't find a safe place to bury these sisters! "Because, this time it was not only Xiaoqiu who died, but also more than thirty sisters who were killed by the defenders and Jinyi guards in the chaos. In addition, the guards on Wei Yunxuan's side also suffered a lot of casualties.
Wu Tong said: "Just now, when I was on the road, I told the prince that the dead sisters and brothers can be buried in the back mountain of Xiaoliang Mountain, where the place is large, and almost no one dares to go up the mountain. ”
"Brother Wutong! We are in the suburbs of the south of the city, far away from Liangzhuang in the eastern suburbs of the city, and besides, the city gate is blocked, so we can't enter at all. This is, Han Xuening is worried.
Wei Yunxuan continued: "Xue Ning! You just came from the secret passage, right? ”
"Yes!"
"Have you seen that there is a large rest platform in the middle of the tunnel, and there are four passages leading to the four suburbs of Great Wei City?"
"See!"
"Then let's go through the secret passage, and then go to the secret passage in the east of the city, and we can reach Xiaoliang Mountain in the eastern suburbs."
Han Xue thought about it, and it was true.
"Yes! How I didn't expect that! Just now, she had been sad about Xiaoqiu's death, and she didn't think about going to the eastern suburbs through the secret passage at all.
However, now she is still discovering the secret room in Wei Yunxuan's bedroom for those brocade guards under the queen, the mechanism of the secret passage is on the wall, once those brocade guards find out, they will also come in through the secret passage.
"Lord Wang! The secret room in your bedroom has been found by the queen. We opened the passage through a mechanism on the wall, and then closed the passage above it in the passage. If the queen also found the mechanism and sent someone into the secret passage, wouldn't we just run into them if we went back like this? This is what Han Xuening is worried about.
Wei Yunxuan said: "Xue Ning! Don't be afraid, they won't get in. When the switch of the secret passage was originally designed, once it was closed from the inside of the secret passage, the mechanism on the outside was not controlled. So, they can't open the entrance to this secret passage. ”
"And what about them smashing the entrance open?"
"The seal of the entrance, as well as the surrounding of the secret passage, are made of special tungsten steel, which is extremely hard, and no matter how hard the iron tool is, it cannot be broken."
After Wei Yunxuan said it, Han Xuening knew that this was the case, so they walked in the secret passage for a long time, and no Jinyi Wei caught up.
Mr. Wen, who was on the side, also nodded roughly, knowing that this was the case.
Wei Yunxuan said again: "It should be past noon now, let's eat some dry food here first, and after eating the dry food, let's immediately set off from the secret passage to the eastern suburbs." ”
Wu Tong took a few guards and began to distribute dry food to everyone, and now there are more than 200 guards on Wei Yunxuan's side, and when they were surrounded and killed by the city defenders and Jinyi guards in the city just now, nearly 200 people died.
These dead guards, they all pushed here in small carts, covered with a layer of firewood and grass.
There were roughly seven or eight corpses on one cart, and there were about thirty carts in total.
After everyone ate something and rested for a while, Wei Yunxuan asked everyone to prepare and immediately enter the secret road and rush to the eastern suburbs.
Ma roughly came to Han Xuening's side and said, "Miss Xuening! I carried Xiaoqiu out just now, and I want to carry Xiaoqiu to the eastern suburbs again! ”
Han Xue nodded, "That's hard General Ma!" ”
She knew in her heart that Ma roughly had feelings for Xiaoqiu, and the two of them could be described as love at first sight, but this love at first sight happened in the secret passage when Xiaoqiu was dying.
The two didn't say a few words, but they could both feel that they liked each other.
This is also the last ride that Ma roughly sent his beloved woman on.
After everything was ready, Wei Yunxuan asked five or six guards to lead the way in front with torches, and there were two or three guards holding torches every ten meters in the middle.
Because the four secret passages leading to the outside of the city are relatively large, carts can also enter.
In this way, more than thirty carts went in, and it was not very difficult.
Ma roughly carried Xiaoqiu on his back and walked behind the guards holding torches at the front, Wei Yunxuan and Han Xuening followed, and Mr. Wen and Wu Tong followed.
The group pushed the cart into the secret passage and began to go deeper.
More than half an hour later, they came to the big platform where Han Xuening and the others had stopped to rest.
Wei Yunxuan asked everyone to rest here for a while before hurrying, and then he said to Han Xuening: "There are still organs in this platform. The trap was opened, and there were three secret passages. ”
However, Wei Yunxuan did not demonstrate where the mechanism was, and did not say where the other three secret passages led.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, they continued on their way, this time through the secret passage that led to the eastern suburbs.
This secret passage is very long, and it has been more than half an hour since I walked, and I have not yet arrived.
Han Xue Ning asked curiously, "Lord Wang! How can this secret passage lead to the eastern suburbs so long? ”
Wei Yunxuan said: "I haven't walked through the secret passage here, and I don't know where it leads. ”
He told Han Xuening that the secret rooms and secret passages in the Yunwang Mansion were not built by him, and that when he was only five years old, his father approached him in the palace, and later gave him the place in the Yunwang Mansion.
Once, when he was only a teenager, his father took him into the secret room in the room and told him that if someone in the palace tried to harm you in the future, he could escape here.
And showed him the secret passage in the secret room, and took him through the secret passage once, and it was this one in the south of the city.
Therefore, he knew the approximate location of this secret passage in the south of the city, and told him about the mechanism of the secret passage and the sealing stone, etc., and he knew that after closing it from the inside, the outside could not be opened.
Only then did Han Xuening understand that Wei Yunxuan only knew about the secret passage in the southern city.
It's no wonder that at the beginning, when a few of them were besieged in the eastern suburbs by the Imperial Forest Army sent by the Great Prince, Wei Yunxuan didn't mention the matter of the secret road.
It turned out that although he knew that there was an entrance to the secret passage in the eastern suburbs, he didn't know where it was.
After the group walked for about half an hour, the guards who walked in front shouted, "Lord Wang! There's a bright light ahead! ”
Wei Yunxuan said to them, "Be careful, go and see what is going on outside the secret passage first?" ”
The four guards received the order and ran forward quickly with torches.
