With his hand on the hilt of the sword, Liu Wei stood on the main road in the back garden of the palace, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was silently waiting for Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei, who were searching the back garden, to report back to him.

"Your Highness Qiqi, we searched the palace room, but we didn't find Yuan Shu!" An officer of Yulinwei quickly ran in front of Liu Wei, clenched his fists and bowed down to report to him.

Nodding at that Yu Lin Wei with a cold face, Liu Wei did not speak, still waiting silently.

After a while, a Tiger Benwei officer also ran in front of him, clasped his fists and bowed down and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, I have gone through all the flowers and trees in the back garden, but I still haven't found Yuan Shu!" ”

There was no palace room, nor among the flowers and trees in the back garden, and Liu Wei's brows gradually tightened more and more.

It was only then that he thought about why Yuan Shu would transfer most of the Huainan Army to the periphery of the palace.

Yuan Shu had no intention of winning this battle, he was afraid that he knew that the defeat of Lu Dao was decided, and mobilized the Huainan army to the periphery of the palace, in order to give him more time to escape.

"Where the hell is Yuan Shu?" Thinking in his head, Liu Wei also muttered a sentence in his mouth.

Chen Gong, who was standing behind him, heard him think like this, and said to him with a fist: "Your Highness, Yuan Shu wants to come from the secret path ......."

"There are many houses here, even if I know that he left through the secret passage, where can I find the entrance to the secret passage?" Tightly twisting his brows, Liu Wei turned around and looked at the palace room in the so-called palace, as if he was asking Chen Gong, and as if he was muttering something to himself.

Not only did Liu Wei not understand this question, but even Chen Gong was stumped.

Looking at the palace room like Liu Wei, Chen Gong's eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on Yuan Shu's harem a little farther away.

"Your Highness!" Looking at the palace room, Chen Gong hesitated slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "Will Yuan Shu ......?" ”

"Harem?" Before Chen Gong's words were finished, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and after a long while, he shouted to a group of tiger guards not far away: "You wait for a good student to search the harem!" ”

"No!" A group of tiger guards answered, and quickly ran towards the palace.

Watching the group of tiger guards running towards the harem, Liu Wei greeted Chen Gong on the side and said, "Gongtai, the two of us will also go and have a look!" ”

After Liu Wei's order, Chen Gong answered, followed him, and strode towards Yuan Shu's harem.

Liu Wei's stride is very large, and his waist is straight when he walks, which is more standard than the walking posture of the three guards.

Following Liu Bian, Chen Gong almost trotted all the way to barely keep up.

Looking at Liu Bian, who was striding in front of him, Chen Gong was secretly surprised in his heart.

He has also been in contact with many nobles, and he has never met a nobleman like Liu Wei, who is from a noble background but maintains the demeanor of a soldier.

Walking in front, Liu Wei didn't notice Chen Gong's expression at all.

His face was pale, and he was also a tiger when he walked, as if as long as he walked faster, he could capture Yuan Shu in the palace.

Hu Benwei, who entered the harem one step earlier than Liu Wei and them, rushed into the harem and rummaged around, some of them even smashed some of the furniture in the harem, hoping to find traces of the secret passage from behind the furniture.

Striding into a harem, as soon as Liu Wei entered the house, he saw more than a dozen women crowded in the corner of the hall.

Most of the women wore ordinary palace maid clothes, and only one was born with a relatively delicate woman, and the clothes on her body were more luxurious than those of other women.

"Your Highness!" Several Tiger Ben guards were rummaging through the cabinets in the hall to find the entrance of the secret passage, and when they saw Liu Wei coming in, they all saluted him.

Nodding at those tiger guards, Liu Wei looked at the woman in a gorgeous dress who was surrounded by a group of palace maids and stood in the corner, and asked coldly: "Where is Yuan Shu?" ”

A group of women huddled in the corner, all with panicked faces.

When Liu Wei came here, they were even more confused, and almost all of them lowered their heads, not daring to meet Liu Wei's eyes.

was questioned by Liu, and the woman in the Chinese costume lowered her head and said nothing.

"Where is Yuan Shu?" The woman in the fancy dress didn't respond to him, Liu Wei stepped forward, pulled her out of the group of palace maids, and asked coldly again.

As soon as Liu Wei's hand grabbed the wrist of the woman in the fancy clothes, her legs weakened and she almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that she was frightened, Liu Wei let go of his hand and asked her, "Who are you?" ”

"The cheap concubine is Yuan Shu's concubine!" Liu Wei asked a few questions in a row, but the woman in Chinese clothes didn't dare not answer, and when Liu Wei asked who she was, she responded timidly: "Your Majesty...... No, Yuan Shu is not here? ”

"Where did he go?" When speaking, although the woman in Chinese clothes was full of panic, her eyes were erratic, which made Liu Wei suddenly suspicious in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the woman in Chinese clothes and asked.

"The concubine doesn't know!" In the face of Liu Wei's continuous questioning, the woman in the Chinese costume trembled slightly, and replied in a low voice.

"Do you want this king to send you to the army and let the soldiers play with you?" The woman in the Chinese costume said that he didn't know where Yuan Shu was, and the corner of Liu Wei's mouth pulled up a cold smile, and said to her: "This king knows that you must know where Yuan Shu is, if you don't say it, this king can only let the soldiers think about you to speak!" ”

"Your Highness spares your life!" Although she had never been to the barracks, the woman in the fancy costume knew that the barracks were full of barbaric and fierce soldiers, and if she was really sent there, I am afraid that if she wanted to say it, the rude men in the barracks would not give her a chance to say it.

"Where is Yuan Shu?" The woman in the fancy dress knelt on the ground, trembling all over, but Liu Wei asked her again without any pity.

There was no pity in Liu Bian's tone, let alone the slightest pity for the jade, and the woman in Chinese clothes was convinced that if she didn't tell the trace of Yuan Shu, Liu Bian would definitely send her to the Qin army camp to be trampled by the soldiers.

Trembling slightly, she raised her hand and pointed to the back garden, and said to Liu Wei in a weak gnat voice: "The back garden pond ......"

"Let's go! Go to the back garden! Before the woman in the costume finished speaking, Liu Wei had already strode towards the back garden of the palace.

Yuan Shu built the imperial palace, drawing on the pattern of the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

When Emperor Ling, he also had the opportunity to go to the harem, and knew that inside each palace room in the harem, there was a not small garden for the concubines to enjoy.

It is precisely because of this reason that the layout of the interior of his palace is actually very imaginary with Liu Wei's Qin Palace.

After entering the back garden, Liu Wei was still walking on the cloister, and he saw a pond in the garden.

The pond is not very large, at least much smaller than the pond in the back garden of the princesses of Liu Wei, but the pond is full of lotus roots.

Although summer has not yet come, the lotus leaves have budded, and the pond is also covered with a layer of verdant greenery.

Leading Chen Gong and several guards to the edge of the pond quickly, Liu Wei surrounded the pond, carefully observing the edge of the pond as he walked.

"Your Highness, look!" Before Liu Wei could find the entrance to the secret passage, one of the guards raised his arm, pointed to a piece of bluestone by the pond and shouted to him.

Hearing the guard's shout, Liu Wei followed the direction of his finger and looked towards Qingshi.

Bluestone is very large, but surprisingly thin, if it is a natural stone, except for shale, it is impossible to have such a thin thickness.

Natural bluestone is generally very heavy, and the bluestone that the guard pointed to is obviously a bit contrary to common sense.

"Let's take a look!" Seeing the bluestone, Liu Wei gave an order to everyone and walked over quickly.

Following closely behind Liu Wei and walking in front of the bluestone, Chen Gong could see at a glance that the soil next to the bluestone had traces of being rubbed by the stones.

"Your Highness......" pointed to the dirt that had been rubbed by the stones, Chen Gong looked at Liu Wei, just greeted him, and didn't say any more.

From Liu Bian's expression, Chen Gong had already seen that Liu Bian had also found that Qingshi was a little unusual.

"Move the stones out of the way!" Standing beside the bluestone, Liu Wei gave an order to the guards who followed behind him.

"No!" Several of the guards answered, stepped forward to lift the stone, and moved the bluestone aside.

Before the bluestone was completely removed, a large black hole appeared in the sight of Liu Wei and the others.

Seeing the big hole, Liu Wei and Chen Gong glanced at each other.

"There are some things that Your Majesty really can't figure out!" Looking at the big black hole, Chen Gong frowned slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "This place is on the edge of the pond, and the pond is full of water, how did Yuan Shu open a dark passage here without stagnant water?" ”

"I'm afraid I can only ask Yuan Shu!" Discovering the secret way, Liu Wei was already secretly happy in his heart, first answered Chen Gong's sentence, and then instructed the guards behind him: "Go and invite Deng Zhan to come!" ”

A guard got Liu Wei's order, hurriedly responded, and quickly ran out of the back garden and left the palace to find Deng Zhan.

Standing at the entrance of the secret passage, Liu Bian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, thinking that it would take some time for Deng Zhan to come here, he raised his feet and walked to the big cave, making a gesture to enter the cave.

Before Liu Bian's foot could reach into the cave, Chen Gong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

Chen Gong's move was obviously a bit disobedient and humble, and he grabbed his arm, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Chen Gong, and asked with a stunned face: "What does the public platform mean?" ”

Holding Liu Wei's arm tightly with both hands, Chen Gong and him looked at each other, and said without giving in at all: "Your Highness pulling Your Highness is contrary to the norm, but no matter how Your Highness disposes of Your Highness afterwards, Your Highness will categorically not let Your Highness enter here!" ”

Looking at Chen Gong, Liu Wei's brows were always tightly wrinkled.

Looking at Liu Bian, Chen Gong did not have the slightest intention of backing down, seeing Liu Bian glaring at him, he continued: "Yuan Shu has a secret passage, although it is for the purpose of escaping from Shouchun, I don't know that there is a mechanism in the secret passage, His Royal Highness rashly entered, if there are three long and two short, what should the soldiers of the three armies do?" What should the people of Daqin do? ”

I wanted to enter the secret path to pursue Yuan Shu in person, but when Chen Gong asked him like this, Liu Wei was a little stunned, and he didn't know how to answer him for a while.
