Chapter 65: The cautious He Qingping
He Nuo discovered a huge loophole in He Qingping's narrative and asked, "Since the road leading to the Qianran Underground Palace in your father's imperial palace is so mysterious, how did the eldest prince know about it?" ”
He Qingping didn't seem to expect He Nuo to listen so carefully, hesitated for a while, and replied, "The problem is the old eunuch who served the eldest brother, the eunuch was left by the Wenzong Dynasty, after the Holy Grandfather succeeded to the throne, most of the eunuchs of the previous generation were eliminated, but the eunuch was quick-witted, knew how to welcome, and knew the palace very well, so he left him behind." Later, according to the eldest brother's confession, it was the secret passage that the eunuch took him to. Later, after his father learned this, he was furious and executed all the attendants around his eldest brother, but the eunuch disappeared mysteriously, and there has been no news for so many years. ”
Liao Xingyun suddenly interjected, "The other chamberlains around the poor prince didn't make any mistakes, but because they were implicated, their lives were not guaranteed, and ruthlessness is the emperor's family." ”
He Qingping was speechless for a while.
He Nuo thought about the missing eunuch, and always felt that he brought He Haochu into this Qianran Underground Palace, it was not so simple, maybe more things had happened in it, but He Qingping's description was too brief, and he seemed unwilling to say more.
He Nuo was about to ask something, when he suddenly heard a noise in front of him.
"Wow! Finally came in. ”
"Sure enough, it still depends on Brother Rong."
"What nonsense, it's been delayed for so long, hurry up."
He Nuo understood as soon as he heard it, this was Rong Ying's gang who had just been outside and finally found a way to enter the third floor of the Qianran Dungeon and came here.
However, He Qingping's eyes seemed to have the last hope, and he ran in the direction of the sound in a few big strides.
He Nuo and Liao Xingyun glanced at each other and followed.
However, they found that Mu Yanxi's brother Mu Jiangliu, who had just appeared, had disappeared.
After all, He Qingping is the eighth prince who is in the limelight, and when Rong Ying sees him, he is still a little jealous, and the domineering look on his face has subsided a lot.
He Qingping asked directly, "Have you seen anyone passing by?" ”
Rong Ying was stunned, "Ah, what? We didn't see anything along the way. ”
He Nuo noticed that the look of hope in He Qingping's eyes gradually dimmed, and he stepped aside alone, no longer speaking.
But at this time, Rong Ying and the others found a large number of treasures in the surrounding stone chambers, and they were overjoyed, and they scattered to look for it, and no one cared about He Qingping, who had a gloomy face.
He Nuo stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?" ”
He Qingping sighed and said, "Rong Ying, the route they came just now is the way back from the Qianran Underground Palace, and they didn't see Yu Yufei, which means that he didn't turn back, but took the fourth brother to go deeper, which is a big trouble." You must know that under the Qianran Underground Palace, it is the foundation of our He family. ”
Because of He Qingping's help just now, He Nuo was a little reluctant and said, "Although our strength is weak, let's go down together, maybe it may be possible to stop Yu Yufei." ”
He Qingping rubbed his forehead, "That's it." ”
He Nuo thought for a while and said, "There are still ......."
He Qingping interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, I know where Zhao Mingzhao is, I'll take you there." ”
He Nuo and Liao Xingyun nodded again and again.
The next road, under the leadership of He Qingping, He Nuo and they have a lot less trouble, He Qingping seems to be extremely familiar with this layer, many times, obviously the front is no longer passable, but He Qingping is stunned to find a way from the stone cracks, and there is a new world in front.
However, He Nuo found that their route gradually showed a downward slope, and then a Yong hole appeared in a pile of rocks, He Qingping took the lead in entering with a low body, and He Nuo and Liao Xingyun followed.
The road descended with a steep slope, and He Nuo understood that they were entering the fourth floor of the Qianran Underground Palace.
However, unlike the corridor where He Nuo entered the third layer, the height of the corridor they entered now was much higher, and they did not need to crawl forward, and more importantly, He Nuo found that this corridor was unusually dry, there seemed to be a lot of dust in it, and there was a strange fragrance, and as he entered further, he found that there were many scratches on the walls, looking at those traces, they were still very new, and they seemed to have been left not long ago.
He Qingping also noticed this and accelerated his pace.
Creak...
He Qingping pushed open a wooden door at the bottom of the road, He Nuo's heart sank, thinking that if there was a wooden door in such a place, it must have been built by man, and then a strong light shone on. Then He Nuo heard the squeak of the monkey, and the call of the ethereal woman he had just heard.
All kinds of voices were noisy together, making He Nuo's heart thump, and he suddenly had a thought, he just wanted to speed up his pace and go out, wanting to see what was outside, but He Qingping blocked the entrance of the cave, observing the outside, but his body was motionless.
"What's wrong?" He Nuo asked softly, and Liao Xingyun behind him also seemed to notice that something was wrong with He Qingping, and made a gesture.
He Qingping's voice was very low, "I'm looking for an opportunity, wait until I count to three, you guys will quickly follow me, remember!" Don't look at anything! ”
He Nuo didn't know what was ahead of him at all, so he had to nod, thinking that when the time comes, I just take a peek and you don't know, there will be no problems in this world.
"One." He Qingping's voice was very low.
"Two." When He Nuo heard this voice, he was ready to know what was outside the cave, how the creaking of the monkey mixed with the mysterious woman's voice.
"Don't look at anything!" He Qingping emphasized again, and He Nuo suddenly felt a sense of irritability and nausea in his heart, feeling that He Qingping was too cautious and verbose. However, he smelled the faint fragrance from Liao Xingyun behind him, and sobered up slightly, feeling that the irritability just now was very unreasonable, and he only felt that the fragrance in the corridor was getting stronger and stronger.
"Three!" He Qingping's voice raised a few points, and as soon as the voice fell, he quickly moved forward, and He Nuo and Liao Xingyun hurriedly followed.
Because the light outside was very strong, He Nuo couldn't adapt to it at first, squinting his eyes, he could barely see He Qingping's back, and he had to pay attention to Liao Xingyun behind him at all times, lest she fall down, so he didn't have time to pay attention to his surroundings.
He only felt that the route He Qingping chose was very tortuous, one moment to the left, another to the right, as if he was avoiding something.
The three of them trotted for a while, and came to a boulder, which was used as a barrier to block themselves.
After He Qingping came to the boulder, he seemed to be relieved, leaning against the boulder and gasping for breath.
He Nuo secretly thought that people like He Qingping are brave and strategic, what are they hiding? On the fourth floor of this Qianran Dungeon, why didn't He Qingping even let himself see it? I was going to look back.
At this time, He Qingping's low but stern voice came, "Don't look! ”
He Nuo and Liao Xingyun were taken aback, they had never heard He Qingping's tone along the way. But this only deepened their curiosity.
He Nuo saw Liao Xingyun quietly give himself a look, He Nuo looked intently, and saw that Liao Xingyun quietly revealed a small mirror at the corner of his clothes.
He Nuo was overjoyed when he saw it, thinking that He Qingping didn't let them peek because he was afraid that he would be discovered, but girls usually carry mirrors with them, and at this time, they just borrowed the reflection of the mirror to look at it, but it was foolproof, he immediately glanced at Liao Xingyun, revealing an approving gaze.
Liao Xingyun leaned forward, blocking He Qingping's view, and then deflected the mirror, through the gap in the boulder, right on their backs.
When He Nuo saw it, he almost screamed.
Because he saw a group of monkeys, dancing around Mu Yanxi!
