The entrance of the secret passage is in a certain section of the sandwich wall compound road in the southwest of Changle Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This place, Zhang Fang can come in under the guidance of the prince as a waiter, and Changxin Palace is less than a hundred steps north of the entrance of the secret passage. However, finding the entrance does not mean that you will be able to enter the secret passage. Changxin Palace is the Queen Mother's resting place, if anyone can enter casually, the Queen Mother still dares to live here with peace of mind?

This secret passage can only be opened from the inside, and it is impossible to enter from the outside. Therefore, if Zhang Fang wants to go in, he has to find an internal response.

Liu Biao originally gave Zhang Fang the internal response, but it was scary - the queen.

But Zhang Fang immediately vetoed this ridiculous suggestion, just kidding! Let the queen put it in, that's no different from telling the emperor. What's more, Zhang Fang didn't want Queen Wang to seize his handle, and he might become a handle for the princes of the Wang family to blackmail him in the future.

In the end, Liu Biao found the list of people who will participate in the selection tomorrow and found a best candidate: Princess Yang'a.

Princess Yang'a is Liu Wei's sister-in-law and Zhang Fang's sister-in-law. This princess, unlike the eldest princess, is straightforward and bold. She is willing to help people who are pleasing to the eye, and those who are not pleasing to the eye are not birds. This can be seen from the trouble caused by Zhang Fang back then, and the fact that Princess Yang'a took over the two hot potatoes when she took over the plate.

Back then, Princess Jingwu sent the two troublesome girls to Princess Yang'a, but Princess Yang'a didn't care about accepting them, she was as strong as Shi Xian, and she didn't dare to ask her for someone. Shi Rong, the eldest son of Shi, there are a few people in Chang'an who dare not buy his face, but they just can't get those two sisters from Princess Yang'a - there is no other reason, Princess Yang'a doesn't like him, and the birds don't bird him.

When Zhang Fang was at his mother's funeral, he saw this aunt and felt very good, so he went to talk about it with Liu Biao. I thought it would take a lot of talking, and maybe I would be reprimanded. Unexpectedly, when Princess Yang'a heard it, she was more interested than them, and in less than half an hour before and after, she agreed.

According to the plan, after Princess Yang'a enters the palace, she will discuss with her son and nephew in an urgent matter, and it is inconvenient to go to the main gate, so she will borrow Changxin Palace from the Queen Mother to meet. Then send a maid to open the secret gate and lead Zhang Fang to enter. In this way, it is easy to report in advance and explain afterwards. Of course, all this must be built on the basis of the convenience of the Queen Mother. And this queen mother is the best speaker and the most kind person in the Western Han Dynasty in the past two hundred years.

Everything was ready, and at the end of the next day, Zhang Fang appeared on time in front of the secret passage of the Changle Palace. The secret door looks no different from the surrounding wall, and if you don't know the inside story, you won't be able to imagine that there is something inside.

Zhang Fang followed Liu Biao's prompt, found a very inconspicuous indentation five feet above the ground, about the height of his chest, stretched out his thumb and pressed it hard, feeling something shrink back. When I let go of my hand and looked again, everything was as usual, and nothing was visible.

According to Liu Biao, pressing this mechanism, the bell behind the door will ring, and the maid waiting in the back will open the secret door.

Zhang Fang waited for a while, but didn't see any movement, turned his head and asked Liu Biao: "Will it be early?" ”

Liu Biao shook his head: "My aunt sent someone to report, and it is ready." Besides, the father and the emperor have also retired from the court, and the imperial chariot has arrived outside the Changle Palace, and ...... is only afraid of it later" Before the words were finished, there was a squeak, and a wall that looked flawless was actually flipped ninety degrees, revealing a doorway that could allow one person to enter directly.

The secret passage was dark and deep, with only a little light in front of it, and the light came from a palace lamp by the door, and the palace lamp was in the hand of a maid. The light and shadow are blurred, and it is faintly visible that she is a picturesque, eleven or twelve-year-old little maid.

The little maid asked softly, "But the prince of Fuping?" "The sound is crisp and nice.

Zhang Fang nodded, grabbed the placket of his clothes with both hands, took off his cover, and revealed a strong outfit - he was still wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, and he would only do that when his head was kicked by a donkey.

Zhang Fang shook off his robe, and Liu Biao reached out to take it - the dignified prince, actually acting as a small servant, if he let the queen see it, he was afraid that he would vomit blood. But Liu Biao didn't care at all, there were just the two of them here, and there was no entourage. Besides, it's nothing to bring a dress for my cousin.

Liu Biao's temperament is indeed easy-going, otherwise he would not have said that jaw-dropping sentence in the future: "I am the slave of the Marquis of Fuping." ”

Liu Biao doesn't treat himself as a prince, and Zhang Fang doesn't know how to be hypocritical, and his friends use it.

"Lead the way." Zhang Fang said and walked down the stairs.

The maid was looking at him blankly, shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Yes." Reaching out to the wall and pushing hard, the stone door turned and quietly closed.

Outside the secret passage, Liu Biao just said half a sentence: "The young man should be careful, don't expose the hidden line, and the young aunt will be affected......" Zhang Fang and the maid had disappeared, and there was only an empty wall in front of them.

Liu Biao choked, couldn't say the second half of the sentence, looked down at the robe resting on the crook of his arm, and shook his head: "This guy is getting more and more weird...... Sister-in-law? If you have a chance, you will want to see what it looks like. ”

As soon as the stone door was closed, it was dark in front of him, only the palace lamp in the hand of the maid emitted a faint yellow light.

Zhang Fang didn't rush to leave first, but closed his eyes, let his eyes adjust to the darkness, and then slowly opened them. His eyesight is unusual, but with a little light, he can see far and clearly. Of course, this is far from being clear, stronger than ordinary people, but it is limited.

The lantern-carrying maid led the way in front, and several times she wanted to turn back and speak, but she didn't dare. And Zhang Fang put all his thoughts on this long gushing road.

The height of this road is only about two meters, and if Zhang Fang straightens his body at one meter or seven, there is a dull and oppressive feeling that he will meet at any time. The foot is stepping on the bluestone paved road, very clean, people walk on it, even if the footsteps are light, there is still an empty echo. The two walls are compacted rammed earth walls, and many places are covered with moss, all of which indicate that this secret passage has been around for a certain year. However, the air is fine, there is no obvious smell or stuffiness, on the contrary, there is a faint cool breeze blowing on the face, obviously there must be good ventilation facilities in the secret passage.

The width of the corridor is only for two people to walk side by side, and people who walk in such a narrow place for a long time will inevitably produce a depressed and fearful mood. Zhang Fang can resolve this bad emotion through good self-adjustment. It's strange that the little maid can still keep her composure, which is rare.

Zhang Fang said casually: "What's your name?" As soon as he spoke, his voice buzzed and startled the little maid.

Zhang Fang smiled apologetically: "Otherwise, I'll get the palace lantern." ”

The little maid shook her head shyly: "How dare the servant dare to work hard for the prince and the marquis, if the princess sees it, she will be punished." ”

Zhang Fang was right after thinking about it, withdrew his hand, and said, "You haven't said what your name is." ”

"The maid's name is Yi Zhu." When the little maid said her name, she looked back a little nervously.

Under the dim light, Zhang Fang didn't notice much of the little maid's nervousness, nodded and said, "Yizhu, the name is good." By the way, you're not bad at guts. ”

The little maid Yizhu was disappointed for a while, and bit her lip and said, "Xie Junhou praises you." The princess successively let three groups of maids go down to the tunnel for trial, and only the maid could walk the whole way, so let the maid wait for the prince here. ”

"I see, at a young age, I have good guts."

Hearing Zhang Fang's praise, Lord Yi's eyes narrowed into crescents, bit his lip and bit his lip, hesitated and hesitated, and finally had the courage to speak: "I don't know if the prince still remembers......"

"There's a staircase ahead, and we're at the exit." Zhang Fang, who has excellent eyesight, pointed forward and reminded.
