Chapter 13 Light work
Unloading a heavy iron armor, I happily ran into the secret room, where there was no big bed, only a low couch for a temporary rest, and I could barely lie down. But I lay down for a while, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. So, I wandered around the secret room.
The secret room should be made of stone, the entrance is on one wall of my room, just turn the lamppost on the wall to open, the stone walls around the secret room look very thick, and the layout inside is also very simple, but those egg-sized night pearls illuminate the secret room as bright as day, but the night pearls add a bit of luxury to this simple secret room.
I didn't pay attention to it before, why is there a chessboard on the small stone table next to this low couch! I couldn't sleep anyway, so I tried to play with myself, but no matter what I did, the game ended in a draw. Although I'm not very good at chess, it's incredible that I can draw with myself in every game. There must be something wrong with this endgame, forget it, I'll rearrange it!
Just as I was setting up the last piece, the stone wall in front of me suddenly moved, and then I saw the original wall slowly rise. Behind the walls, a wide stone passage came into view.
I took a night pearl and walked into this secret passage, there is no fork in the secret passage, and at the end, there is a big stone door, the mechanism is very simple, it is the closest lampstand to the stone door, and the lampstand that enters the secret room is the same, just turn it.
Walking out of the stone gate, there is a small cave, it doesn't look like it was dug by hand, and there is a statue of a god who doesn't know which way it is, there is a candlestick on each side of the statue, don't think about it, this should be the mechanism that closes the exit of the secret passage, but I don't want to, the two lampstands can't be twisted. So, without hesitation, I reached for the idol, and sure enough, it was the mechanism that closed the secret passage.
It seems that the person who designed this mechanism must have felt that even if someone found this stone cave, they would not dare to make a mistake because of the worship of the gods inside, and they were afraid that if someone really came to make offerings to the gods, they would accidentally move the candlestick, so this opportunity was not installed on the candlestick, but on the idol that others did not dare to touch casually.
Out of the cave, it was a mountain forest, because it was dark, I couldn't see how high the mountain was, how dense the forest was, and I didn't know where the ability came from, so I took a night pearl, picked up an arm-thick branch from the ground and walked down the mountain.
From time to time, I heard the cries of wild beasts on the mountain, but it sounded quite far away, and I didn't feel too scared. Besides, from childhood to adulthood, whether it was the neighbor's cat, the dog scurrying on the street, or even the tiger and lion in the zoo, as long as they saw me, they either ran far away, or they meekly lay on the ground motionless. So, I grew up without any animals, including mosquitoes in the summer and ants in the grass.
I don't know how long I walked, I finally found a way down the mountain, and down the mountain road, I smelled a faint smell of rape flowers. Where is it?
Out of town!
I'm out of town! It's so late, what am I doing outside the city alone? Let's go back!
Although I don't think I'm a road idiot, when I came down the mountain, I just wanted to have fun, and I didn't even pay attention to which way I was going, and I really couldn't figure out where the cave was. What to do? I can't seem to go back!
It should be the middle of the night now, the capital of Tianyu Kingdom is about 8:15 in the evening, and the morning bell is ringed at about 4:15 in the evening to open the city gate. I don't know what time it is, but when I get to the city gate, the gate is closed.
I can't go back to the palace, I can't enter the city, is it possible that I have to sleep outside this city gate and wait for the city gate to open, and then find a way to sneak into the palace when the hundred officials enter the palace as soon as possible? It doesn't seem very realistic, after all, the palace is not a tourist attraction, and occasionally you can take advantage of the administrator's inattention to escape a ticket or something.
What can I do if I don't get in, it's hard to shout at the gate of the palace that I am the prince of your family, come and take me into the palace!
Ay! If I hadn't taken off that iron armor, this trick might still work, but the way I looked, even if I stood in front of my cheap father, he might not be able to recognize it!
What to do? What to do?
Although it was already early summer, it was still very cold this night, and I was only wearing a thin middle coat, and I was already cold before I fell asleep in the cave of the city gate.
Let's warm up with exercise! So, I stood up and prepared to jump a few times, but I didn't want to, my jump was so high that I almost hit the top of the city gate cave five or six people high.
It's so high! I was so frightened by this jump that I hurried out of the city to see how high I could jump far from the city gates. Whoever ran in a hurry, even with his feet off the ground, had the feeling of flying on the grass in martial arts novels. From the city gate to the Sanli Pavilion outside the city, I ran for a few minutes to arrive. And that jump, with all my might, actually made me see the lights of the city, oh my God! This should be the legendary light work!
With this skill, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this city! So, I ran to a place not far from the city wall, and jumped directly over the city wall, but the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall only felt a white shadow in the air, and when I looked at it again, there was nothing, and I thought I was dazzled!
At this time, there are occasional pedestrians passing by the streets of the city, and it seems that it is not yet the second watch, that is, less than nine o'clock in the evening. Because Tianyu Capital City is forbidden from the second to the fourth watch. However, the shops on the street have already closed.
Maybe my face is so black that I can't see my appearance, and my hair is scattered and I look too much like a ghost, walking on the road, the people who saw me screamed and then withdrew their legs and ran, and a few timid people were so frightened that their feet were weak, and the look of rolling and crawling and kowtowing and begging for mercy was even more exaggerated than the movie staged.
Ay! Originally, I wanted to go to the brightly lit place I saw outside the city, but for the sake of the stability of the capital, I had to do it. Turning to fly up a roof, he soon reached the vicinity of the palace, and then took off and landed a few times, avoiding the guards patrolling the palace, and entered the east palace in a short time.
Who knows, as soon as I entered my palace, I was caught by a golden light and pressed directly to the ground.
"Master, it's me!" I hurriedly squeaked, for fear that the golden-faced master would treat me as an assassin and give the result to me.
"Your Highness?" The golden-faced master heard my voice and quickly raised his big foot that was stepping on my back. "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"I ...... "Do I have to tell him that I left the palace through the secret passage of the secret chamber and flew in on my own?" The reason why Gu Tianba's queen mother didn't allow anyone except Manager Xu to enter the secret room should be because she was afraid that they would discover that secret passage! I was trying to figure out how to deal with Master Gold's question, but I noticed that the place on my back that he stepped on hurt terribly. I shouted, "Master, the apprentice's back seems to have been trampled off by you!" It hurts! ”
"Show me!"
Before I could react to what was happening, I felt a chill on my back, and my shirt had been torn off by the golden-faced master, and then we were stunned at the same time.
"Damn it!" The golden-faced master reacted and knelt on one knee, "Please descend on Your Highness." At this time, Jin Mian was already ready to destroy his eyes and even apologize with death, just waiting for Gu Tianba to speak.
"Can you take off your robe and lend me it for a while?"
The golden-faced master didn't dare to raise his head, and hurriedly took off his robe and raised his hands in front of me. I took it and put it on myself, who knew that his robe was so long, and as soon as I took a step, I stepped on the robe that was dragging on the ground, and staggered to the ground.
"Hey......
"Who's laughing?" I lay on the ground, my eyes looking around warily.
"Your Highness, no one!"
"I just really heard two small laughs." Still hallucinating, I got up from the ground, patted the dirt on my robe, and walked to the room with my robe, but except for my back, my whole body hurt as if it had been cut by countless knives at the same time.
Jin Mian looked at the slender figure in her own robe, her fists clenched, her teeth creaking. Although she has changed her personality, the evil disease in this body has not disappeared. In the past, she relied on men's blood to relieve the pain of cutting her skin and bones, but now that she is sick like this, I am afraid that she will be in trouble if she is seen.
"Your Highness!" Jin Mian opened his arm and sent it to Gu Tianba's mouth, "Drink it!" ”
I squeezed two words out between my teeth: "Go away!" "I'm not a vamphider, I'm not a monster, I don't want to drink human blood, I don't want a mouthful.
"Your Highness, you can't hold it!"
"Go away!" Who said I couldn't hold on! When Lin Muyu was 14 years old, she was sent to the hospital by her teacher for acute appendicitis, but her aunt said that the family had no money, so she took me back from the hospital, and I was lying on the bed without medical treatment and myrrh. It wasn't until my uncle came home two days later that he took me to the hospital for surgery, and I didn't survive.
"Your Highness, if you drink a little, will you be okay at all?"
I was so painful that I couldn't speak, and my mind was in a mess, and I couldn't hear what Master Jin said clearly.
Jin Mian saw that Gu Tianba fainted in pain, but the sweat on her forehead was getting more and more, even if she fainted, she still frowned, still suffering from pain. didn't have time to think about it, Jin Mian sent his open arm to Gu Tianba's lips, watching her instinctively suck her own blood, but Jin Mian didn't feel how terrifying the girl in her arms was, but felt that her current appearance was as cute as a baby in swaddling clothes.
All I remember was fainting from pain, but I woke up on the bed in my room. Before dawn, I reached out and tried to press the switch on the bedside, and then I remembered that in my place, there was no electric light yet.
"Your Highness! You're awake! The golden-faced master lifted the black cloth covering the night pearl, and the room lit up at once.
"Master! Why are you here? ”
"It is only below that I blaspheme His Highness, please send it down!" The golden-faced master was still kneeling on the ground, and it seemed that he should have been kneeling for a long time.
"Forget it, it's just torn one of my middle coats." Besides, I also wore a heart coat in my middle coat, and it didn't matter if my middle coat was torn.
Jin Mian secretly thought, even if she is the daughter of an ordinary family, she will at least look for death and life if she is looked at! What should an ordinary man do if he sees the body of a woman who has not left the cabinet? Oh! Marry her! But what he saw was His Royal Highness the Prince, how could the prince get married? She will only have countless male pets!
