Chapter 187: Internal Response
The reason why Xu Gang thinks like this is only because he is wearing a night suit, if he is a traitor king's subordinate, he will definitely shout for help, surround and kill him, only if he is also an investigator, he will be like this!
Xu Gang walked quietly along the door where the stone flew over, wanting to see who it was! He leaned down, crossed into the door softly, and quickly flashed to the side, beware of other people's plots, after all, the idea that this person is not an enemy is just a guess, if it is the enemy's plan, it will kill himself.

When Xu Gang looked up, he saw a person dressed in black and masked, looking around not far in front of him, looking in a hurry......
Xu Gang hurriedly whispered: "Friend, may I ask who you are?" ”
"Xu Dutou?!" When the man in black heard Xu Gang's voice, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then ripped off his masked face towel, walked quickly to Xu Gang, and said with a happy face: "Xu Dutou, why are you?" What are you doing here! ”
It was actually Daoyuan after a long absence, but I saw him lean forward again and said softly: "Xu Dutou, when did you come?" ”
Xu Gang secretly suppressed the surprise and surprise in his heart, and replied: "I've been here for a long time, why are there too many doorways here, and I'm so confused that I can't see the direction anymore, when did you come here?" ”
Dao Yuan frowned and listened carefully to the sounds around him, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he continued: "I've been here for a long time, and it's just like you said, the doorway is tortuous and unpredictable. I just saw you covered your face in black, and I thought you were other spies sent by Master Bao, but I never thought it was Xu Dutou! ”
"Hey~~ Daoyuan, I can see that this is a formation arranged according to the direction of the gossip, but I walk according to the direction of the gossip, but I always take the wrong road and identify the wrong direction, but I can go in the opposite position, but I find that it is even more chaotic! For a while, I didn't know what to do. If it is discovered by the traitor king's subordinates, I'm afraid it will be troublesome! ”
After listening to Xu Gang's analysis, Daoyuan frowned, and sighed lightly: "When I first came in, the direction of this place can be said to be clear, but now I turn left and right, and I am confused, and I don't know where to go at all......"
As soon as Daoyuan's voice fell, he heard someone behind him answer, and said softly: "It turned out to be Xu Tong's judgment, and his subordinates were polite." ”
Xu Gang and the two were stunned, and saw that the person who spoke did not know when he had come out of the door behind Daoyuan, this person was Xu Gang when he first arrived in Xiangyang City, standing next to Bao Zheng, dressed in green clothes, holding a long knife, Xu Gang later learned that he was actually the imperial guard Zhang Zhan, on the order of the Son of Heaven, specially protected Lord Bao.
This person is really not simple, although I met Daoyuan for the first time, and some neglected the vigilance around me, but if ordinary people go to my perception range, I will definitely be able to perceive it! Xu Gang frowned and glanced at this person, muttered to himself, and hurriedly hugged his fists to meet him.
"It turned out to be Zhang Guard!" Xu Gang naturally guessed at this time that he was one of the people sent by Bao Zheng to investigate the traitorous king's mansion.
As soon as Xu Gang's words fell, another person flashed out from behind the door, this person was about thirty years old, his face was like a winter melon, his beard was like a figure, he was not masked, but dressed in a scribe's uniform, and held a long sword!
"Uh~~" Xu Gang was slightly stunned, and immediately exploded, pointing at this scribe!
"Wait!" Seeing Xu Gang's strange appearance, Zhang Huwei quickly turned around to take a look, and then his face changed, and he suddenly exclaimed, but unfortunately he was a step slow, and the person who came had already been knocked to the ground by Xu Gang, but Xu Gang heard Zhang Zhan's exclamation, so he kept his hand, otherwise the scribe would have died on the spot.
Xu Gang explained the acupoints for the scribe, and then heard Zhang Guard's introduction to Xu Gang: "Xu Tongju, this Shen Ran is the guard sent by the Son of Heaven to Zhao Yi back then, lurking beside him!" ”
When Xu Gang heard this, he immediately felt frightened of the emperor's thoughts, and he didn't know if there was such a person around him, Zhao Changfeng or Xu Xiaotian's brother? He shook his head, he didn't rebel, what was there to worry about!
After listening to Zhang Zhan's introduction, Xu Gang hugged his fists at Shen Ran and said, "It turned out to be Brother Shen, I couldn't help it just now!" ”
Shen Ran waved his hand and said respectfully: "Xu Tongju is polite, your martial arts are skillful, and your subordinates really admire it!" After that, he saw Daoyuan, although it was a little strange, but he didn't say much.
Xu Gang hurriedly introduced Daoyuan to Zhang Zhan and Shen Ran: "He is not an outsider, but Daoyuan, the escort of General Shi Yinglong!" ”
After saluting each other, Shen Ran continued: "Time is pressing, Xu Tongju, Brother Zhang, and Brother Dao, please go with their subordinates." ”
thought it was an enemy, but he didn't want to be his own person, Xu Gang was naturally very happy, followed closely behind Shen Ran, and walked around with him.
With Shen Ran's inner guide in front, the original tortuous and difficult curve suddenly turned into a smooth road, and after passing through many doorways, everyone came to the second floor of the Ascending Pavilion.
I saw that the second floor is also eight-sided, the Zhu window is exquisite, the surrounding jade fence, on the front of the Danqi, a stone turtle camels the stone tablet on one side, the tablet surface is smooth and traceless, the entire second floor is nothing but these.
Shen Ran said: "Let's take a break here first, and I'll send you out first." With that, he brushed his feet on the pedestal and sat down.
"Brother Zhang, today is the time for the younger brother to be on duty, and I just heard the sound of something hitting the wooden board, so I came to take a look, I didn't expect it to be you, it's a shame that you are not masked, otherwise the younger brother will definitely make a noise, then it will be over!" Shen Ran meditated for a moment, then got up and said to Zhang Zhan.
When Dao Yuan heard this, he naturally knew that he had made a mistake in the method of throwing stones to ask for directions just now, and hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I was in a hurry just now because I lost my way, so I flew a stone to explore the truth and reality." ”
Shen Ran shook his head and said: "Xu Tongju, Brother Zhang, Brother Dao, don't blame the younger brother for talking too much, you must not come here again in the future, the news clues in this pavilion are very stakes, and the traitor king is afraid that someone will steal the alliance book, so take strict precautions!" Someone is sent to guard the stairs every day, and if the sound downstairs disturbs the guards upstairs, the consequences are really unimaginable. ”
When Xu Gang heard the word stairs, he immediately looked around, and said with some doubts: "Where is this staircase?" ”
Shen Ran pointed to the stone turtle on the right and said: "This staircase is on the bottom of the building behind the stone tablet bound by the stone turtle, there is an iron plate covering there, and after opening it, you can see the stairs, and there is an iron door under the bottom of the ladder, and there is only one person in it." ”
After speaking, Shen Ran paused slightly, and continued: "Fortunately, this staircase is designed to go down first and then go up, so the sound blocking effect is also very good, otherwise the little brother would not dare to talk to you so loudly here." ”
Xu Gang nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"After going down from this entrance, after walking about ten steps, I turned upward, and you see that pillar, in fact, it is empty inside, it is the staircase that goes up to the third floor." Shen Ran pointed to the big pillar behind the stone turtle. (To be continued.) )
