One centimeter, two centimeters, three centimeters, under Nie Ying's movement, the wall clock slowly left its original position and finally reached the ground.

He had never felt such nervousness, as if he had taken off not a wall clock, but a thunderbolt.

Fortunately, there were no sharp arrows or terrifying poison gases in the sky, and there was only a square mark on the wall.

When Chen Ze saw the mark, he suddenly said excitedly: "Great, there is really a mystery here." ”

Nie Ying said sophistically: "Don't be too happy too early, maybe this mark is the mechanism." ”

There are usually locations where the traps are always unexpected, so that they can cause harm to the thieves.

"Then you go on, I'll hide first." Chen Ze retreated to the vicinity of the door, ready to let go at any time.

Nie Ying had never seen such a timid person, didn't he just casually say that there would be a mechanism, as for running to hide near the door?

Moreover, even if there is a mechanism, he can eliminate the danger as soon as possible, and will not let the lives of the two be threatened.

But disdain is contempt, and what should be done must continue. Nie Ying immediately took off his coat, revealing more than a dozen gadgets tied to his body.

He pulled out an awl-like tool and stabbed the sigil before he dared to dig into the wall.

It didn't take long for a delicate box to be revealed, surrounded by many tiny threads like silk.

These special silk threads are obviously protecting the box, and once someone touches the thread with the mechanism, the life will end.

It was the first time Nie Ying had seen such a strange mechanism, the material of these silk threads turned out to be rare celestial silk, and the contents of the box must be extremely precious.

However, in order to get the box, you have to cooperate with two people, one person is responsible for cutting the thread, and the other person is responsible for holding the box.

Nie Ying asked Chen Ze for help: "I have a problem now, and I need you to come and help." ”

"How can I help? I'm not going to dismantle the mechanism. "Chen Ze has never been in contact with ancient mechanisms, and it is easy to mess up if he wants him to help.

Nie Ying took out a delicate knife, pointed at these heavenly silks and said, "I'm responsible for cutting these threads, you come and get the box." ”

"Are you sure?" Chen Ze was worried that something would go wrong, and if the other party was not careful, it would be troublesome to trigger the mechanism again.

Nie Ying nodded: "Don't worry, I've seen this kind of mechanism once and know how to deal with it." ”

is not sure, Nie Ying does not dare to let his financier put himself in danger, which is equivalent to cutting off the financial route.

"That's good." Chen Ze was relieved, he didn't get the tiger if he didn't enter the tiger's den, for the treasure in the treasure house, it was worth taking a risk.

After discussing it, the two of them stood on each side, first rehearsed it, and then began to pick up the box.

"Ready, one, two, three! Take it! ”

As soon as Nie Ying finished shouting, the knife slashed at the silk thread, but it failed to cut the silk thread.

Chen Ze didn't expect this, and his outstretched hand couldn't stop, touching several silk threads one after another.

Luckily, no traps are triggered, just like this box knows its owner.

Nie Ying frowned, puzzled, "You touched the silk thread, but nothing happened, why is that?" ”

"How do I know, maybe it's luck." Chen Ze also didn't figure out the current situation.

Nie Ying's eyes rolled, and he thought of one thing: "Your identity card is extraordinary, it seems to be made of some kind of magnetite, which may affect the operation of the mechanism. ”

Chen Ze hurriedly took out the identity card, and after careful observation, he found that it was indeed not ordinary iron, but a special magnet stone.

His face turned red suddenly, as a modern person, he actually let the ancients teach a lesson, it really shouldn't be.

However, ordinary people would not expect that the king of Zhennan would use the magnet stone as an identity tag, probably to prevent assassins with knives from approaching.

After figuring out the facts, Chen Ze ignored the mechanism and took out the box boldly with confidence.

It may be that King Zhennan was confident in the defense mechanism, and the top of the box was not locked, so Chen Ze opened it easily.

The contents of the box are indeed a strangely shaped key, which looks to be some years old, and may have existed for a long time.

"Let's go!" Nie Ying couldn't wait to see the Night Pearl right away.

Chen Ze held the key in his hand and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, you can help me save someone first and prove your strength." ”

Nie Yinghu said suspiciously: "I heard that King Zhennan's martial arts are good, why do you need help from others?" ”

"I was framed by a traitor and lost all my martial arts." As soon as Chen Ze thought of this, he was very angry in his heart.

If a person loses his martial arts, it is equivalent to a tiger without teeth and is in danger at any time.

Nie Ying suddenly realized: "No wonder you used firearms to defend yourself, it turned out that you had lost your martial arts." ”

The advent of firearms has indeed changed the era of cold weapons. It greatly reduces the gap between physical fitness, so that some old and weak people also have the ability to fight back.

"One more thing I forgot to mention, there are no projectiles in my firearm, I just deliberately bluffed you."

Chen Ze felt that it was necessary to tell the truth, even if there would be a certain risk, it was better than continuing to pretend.

"You say this firearm is empty!" Nie Ying's expression changed from shock to anger in an instant.

He started his debut as a thief at the age of fifteen, and it has been more than ten years, but now he has been tricked by a teenager, and this face loss is too great.

Chen Ze blinked his peach blossom eyes and explained the reason: "I didn't mean to lie to you, this is a strategy to protect yourself." ”

This is the principle of the empty city plan, when your own side is weaker than the enemy, you must put on a maze array to deceive the opponent.

"The prince really has the guts, he can scare me with an empty gun." Nie Ying did feel sullen in his heart because he lost face, and even wanted to beat someone.

However, he had already decided to be loyal to the prince just now, and if he suddenly turned his face with the other party because of the matter of face, he would be morally unreasonable.

At this moment, Chen Ze's palms were already full of sweat, this was a very dangerous move, in case this thief understood the truth, it would be troublesome to suddenly kill people and seize treasures.

After all, not all thieves are like Chu Liuxiang, they have never had blood on their hands in their lives, and their character and martial arts are excellent.

For the sake of insurance, Chen Ze said again: "If you are dissatisfied, I can add more money." ”

Nie Ying waved his hand and said, "The previous things were all misunderstandings, since we have already negotiated the price, there is no need to change it." ”

Chen Ze was finally relieved, this thief did not turn his face, nor did he ask for extra money, and it seemed that he was not a vicious person.

The cold wind howled, and the snow covered the ground. In the cold firewood room of the palace, there was a graceful body that was about to be frozen.

Because Li Xiang was restrained, she couldn't even rely on moving her body to keep warm, so she could only let the cold invade.

The taste of freezing was very unbearable, and she only wanted death to come sooner so that she could suffer less sin.

Suddenly, a servant opened the door and complained, "This damn broken door, we have to change it tomorrow." ”

"Who are you?" Li Xiang looked at the servant vigilantly, ready to shout for help at any time.

The servant took out a wine bag and replied while drinking: "Chief Hou said that I was afraid that you would run away in the middle of the night, so let me come to see you." ”

Li Xiang suddenly became nervous, in this icy and snowy night, once this person has bad intentions in his heart, he is better off dead.

The servant saw that her little face was white from the cold, and he couldn't bear to say, "If you can't stand the cold, just take a sip of wine to warm your body." ”

"No need, I can handle it." Li Xiang couldn't drink it at all, who knows what was mixed in it.

The servant did not continue to persuade, after all, in this predicament, the other party was sure to be wary.

Time passes minute by minute, and even the strongest person will not be able to stand it in the cold winter.

Li Xiang was already thirsty and confused, and finally let down her guard: "Big brother, you should give me a bite." ”

The servant shook the bag and said, "I'm sorry, but I've already drunk the wine...... Finished. ”

In an instant, the servant fell straight down as if he had been succumbed to evil, and his mouth was full of white foam.

Li Xiang was immediately stunned, if he didn't even have the strength to speak out, he would definitely shout loudly.

"Boom!" The firewood room was torn open from the outside by brute force, and a handsome boy with a wicked smile approached him.

"You...... Don't come here. Where has Li Xiang seen this formation, and instantly became like seeing a ghost.

Nie Ying soothed: "Don't be afraid, girl, the wicked who wants to hurt you was hit by my secret weapon, and at this time he has fallen into a coma. ”

Li Xiang said with an embarrassed expression: "...... Actually, I'm afraid of you, not the big brother who fainted. ”

Suddenly breaking into the door, the smile is very weird, and most people will feel frightened.

Nie Ying pursed her lips and said depressedly: "Why is the girl afraid, this son is here to save you." ”

"Because you have a standard wicked face." Chen Ze followed behind and couldn't help but complain.

Nie Ying is handsome with a hint of evil looks, and in the future life, he will definitely be invited to play the villain, or be the black-bellied president in the romance text.

If the acting skills are better, maybe you can get an award, which is much better than being a thief now.

"Wrong!" Nie Ying was said this, of course, he refused to give up: "Is there such a handsome villain in the world?" ”

"......" Chen Ze was speechless for a while, and he could only ignore this kind of person who showed love and remained silent.

Li Xiang next to her was very excited, if no one came to save her, she would definitely freeze to death.

Chen Ze felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the tragic situation of his maidservant: "I'm sorry, I came late and made you suffer." ”

Li Xiang shook his head: "It's not bitter, the prince is willing to take risks to save the slave maid, and the slave and maid are already satisfied." ”

"It's not a good place to stay for long, we have to leave as soon as possible."

Chen Ze had already thought of a countermeasure, asked Nie Ying to send Li Xiang out of the palace, and then arranged Li Xiang to enter the inn to avoid the limelight.

In this way, even if Hou San knew that Li Xiang had escaped, he would not overreact.

Because Li Xiang is just a little maidservant, it is not worth spending manpower to catch it at all.
