Chapter 508: The Underground Palace

Meng Li, who was interested in the entire White Horse Temple, followed Li Xiu's footsteps and walked towards the depths of this valley, which was like a path to hell winding in the dark, if it weren't for Wang Han beside him signaling that he had confirmed that this Li Xiu would never have a problem, Meng Li would definitely not follow this Li Xiu around for a moment of curiosity.

"Curiosity kills the cat~"

This proverb tells people that even an animal as vigilant as a cat can die because of curiosity, let alone such a large person.

In the many novels that Meng Li read in his previous life, those awesome protagonists and those invincible and peerless supporting characters didn't officially fall into difficulties because of their curiosity again and again, until they died~!

Therefore, curiosity can be had, but you must not use curiosity to direct all your actions, in that case, Meng Li thinks that even if he is the strongest protagonist, he will immediately fall into the realm of death.

"Your Majesty, below here, is a big earth palace dug by our Han Dynasty over hundreds of years, if it is about scale, we should not lose to Your Majesty's royal secret vault~! It's just that in terms of specific purposes and secrecy measures, it is inferior to His Majesty's royal vault~! ”

It seems that this Li Xiu is also very familiar with Meng Li's Han Emperor Secret Vault, looking at him with a proud look, it is difficult to say how huge the scale and architecture of the underground palace below is, after all, this is showing superiority with the emperor, if he is not very confident, then his behavior is to provoke the emperor unhappy, and the consequence of the emperor's displeasure is that your whole family is unhappy~! Of course, there are also cautious emperors who think this moment is good. will also feel unhappy, because the secret vault of the Han Emperor still belongs to himself in the end. This dungeon belongs to the entire Han Dynasty, of course. If Meng Li wants to be his own, there is also such a reason.

"In this dungeon, the scale and research direction are all told to me~!"

Once his curiosity came, Meng Li, who couldn't be suppressed, looked at this passage leading all the way to the underground and wondered, what is under such a passage?

How important were they to build such a project to protect him?

"Your Majesty, the size of this palace is comparable to a medium-sized city, if it is filled with population, then more than 400,000 people should not seem crowded, but. In the end, this underground palace of ours is still used for the purpose of researching technology, so if you count the defense personnel and researchers, plus some envoys of embroidered messengers, there are a total of 13,278~! ”

While Li Xiu was leading the way to the emperor in front, while knocking on the wall next to him, he was still making his introduction to Meng Li, as the person in charge of the valley outside, he still knew the situation below clearly~

"Under this underground palace, there are more than a dozen projects being studied, and the largest project is naturally the creation of gods that our Han Empire has been paying attention to. This god-making project occupies about 7,800 of our people in total, and most of the researchers have been invested in this project, but to this day, the god-making project has not been completed. This is one of the things that has always made us feel sorry for His Majesty. ”

Speaking of the project of creating gods, Li Xiu's face at this moment was both proud and discouraged. It is clear that in this aspect of god-making, although these researchers have made big breakthroughs. But it is obvious that the final goal has not been achieved, and looking at this Li Xiu's face. It is likely that the god-making project is still far from the final expectation~

"Hmm~!"

While nodding and listening to Li Xiu's narration, Meng Li followed Li Xiu's footsteps from this dark passage all the way forward, while also paying attention to the dim lights on the walls on both sides.

Meng Li would not simply think that the dim lights on the walls were just ordinary people's household oil oil, in his opinion, if the lamps used by ordinary people were used in this passage that seemed to have gone for half a tea time, then if he wanted to maintain his lighting, he would need to send someone to change a batch of oil at least every once in a while, which would be too troublesome.

Therefore, in Meng Li's opinion, the lights on both sides are very similar to the eternal and inextinguishable lights in the underground palace.

"Your Majesty, the lights on both sides of this wall are also one of our research projects, but it is only an incidental study, although this fire oil called the everlasting lamp has never been consumed, but the light emitted is minimal, and there is no big use~!"

The sharp-eyed Li Xiu saw Meng Li paying attention to the lights on both sides of the wall, and hurriedly explained to Meng Li.

"This lamp is made by our researchers by collecting ice in the depths of the North Sea plus fire oil and some additives in the black soil, and there is no wind here, and the humidity is enough, so the consumption can be ignored, and it can also be called an ever-bright lamp~"

Seeing that Meng Li was still showing a curious look, Li Xiu turned his brain around a few times before he remembered the manufacture of this ever-bright lamp.

After all, he, Li Xiu, only came here as a special envoy of the Han royal family to supervise the progress of the project, and his understanding of these things was purely curiosity, and it was these daily curiosities that gave him the opportunity to show his face in front of Meng Li today.

"Well, don't deepen the study of this ever-bright lamp, put all your spirit on the project of creating gods, I want to see a god who belongs to my Han in my lifetime~!"

When he read Dahan, Meng Li deliberately increased his tone, it was obvious that although Meng Li wanted to make great progress in this god-making project, he also didn't want to let the god he created out of his control, so he Meng Li only increased his tone on the word Dahan.

This means to tell Li Xiu that he would rather not create a 'god' than maintain the peace and tranquility of the Han royal family~!

"Oh~! The ministers should pass on His Majesty's will~! ”

Li Xiu, who has served the royal family for so many years, naturally knows what Meng Li means, in fact, this ** from the control of the royal family is also one of the obstacles to the smooth progress of this god-making.

"Let's talk about what other projects are going on under this dungeon~!"

Since his meaning has been put in place, then Meng Li is not ready to say any more, since this Li Xiu used to be the deputy commander of the embroidered messenger, then his interests are naturally tied to the royal family, and his current sentence is just to deepen the royal imprint on Li Xiu~ (To be continued......)
