It took a few tries before he slowly controlled some of the grass ash.

The black mass of grass ash seemed to be wrapped in a thin film, and it rotated little by little with the gesture of inviting rain. Tan Yuyu got up slowly, and carefully returned to the corridor of the underground palace with this ball of grass ash.

She walked forward with the ashes, and then stopped twenty paces away from the entrance of the underground palace.

Since the entrance to the underground palace is tilted downward, people standing on it can't see how far inside they are because their view is blocked. This point is best known to Tan Zhaoyu, who has lived in the underground palace for ten years.

She slowed her luck, and then jerked the ash ball down the aisle. Coincidentally, the waiter who was monitoring the rain was not at ease, and was looking in, but he was scolded by the grass ash.

The waiter first choked and coughed, and then remembered that this thing was poisonous, and his face turned white under the ashes!

He didn't care about anything else, and when the smoke and ash in the aisle dissipated, he hurried into the dungeon. Seeing that Tan Zhaoyu was meditating in front of the copper plate, he hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Xian Ji Niangniang, you save the minions. The minion was pounced on by the soot and poisoned. The minions don't want to die yet! Save the minions! ”

A sigh came out of nowhere, and Invite Yu slowly opened his eyes, "This palace has already told you, why do you want to take risks?" ”

She handed over the mud pill she had just kneaded into from the mud on the ground, "Eat this pill to suppress the toxicity." Later, eat some croton to expel the poison from the body, and you can live without danger. ”

The waiter didn't think about it, he ate the mud balls in one bite, and kept kowtowing to Invite Yu and thanking him, "Thank you Xian Ji for saving your life!" ”

Invite Yu closed his eyes, and while continuing to pretend, he said quietly, "There is only this antidote pill left in this palace." If you act recklessly, don't come to the palace again, just go straight to the aftermath. ”

When the waiter heard this, he nodded and said, "Oh, yes." The minions will lead people to stand far away, so that they will not cause trouble to the fairy again. ”

Tan Yuyu whispered "um", and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she secretly opened one eye and saw that the waiter was walking out in a panic, for fear that she would be affected by the poisonous smoke in this underground palace again.

Confirming that he was gone, Invite Yu knew that the time was ripe, and one of them stood up and began to look around.

Fearing that the Zoroastrians would have a mechanism in the altar, she went out of her way to check the walls around her.

After confirming that there was not even a hole in the smooth bluestone slab wall, she walked to a corner with confidence.

Ying Yu clearly remembered that the two hounds were sniffing around here and there, and if nothing else, there must have been Zoroastrian stuff buried under this corner.

But it's obviously not that simple. When Tan Yuyu dug a half-arm-deep hole in the corner of the wall with a dagger, she still didn't find anything. Not even a bloody layer of soil was seen.

Tan Yuyu filled the excavated soil loosely, for fear of being seen, and flattened the most superficial layer of soil. Then she returned to the copper plate and carried the grass ash out of the dungeon twice.

For the next two days, Tan Zhaoyu repeated the same cycle every day, burning grass, blowing grass ash, digging the foot of the wall, blowing grass ash again, and then at the end of each day, he felt deeply depressed......

It's really depressing. Invite Yu was sure that he was looking for the right place. She even tapped her dagger against the stone wall, and found that the echo was noticeably more hollow than the other walls, indicating that there must be a dark room behind the wall.

The pit in the corner was waist-deep. The chamberlain who monitored her ate too much croton because she was afraid of death, and she was going to lose her form in the past two days.

Seeing this, the other people were even more afraid to approach the underground palace, so that they were a little unscrupulous when they invited the rain to dig a hole.

It's a pity that I spent a lot of effort, but I still didn't find anything.

After confirming that there were no traps in the pit or on the walls, Tan Yuyu decided not to dig harder.

Zoroastrians must have to go in and out of this chamber often, so the mechanism should be located in a more visible place. Otherwise, if they dig a pit like this every time, it is estimated that they will have to raise at least one pangolin.

Obviously, there is only a wall between the treasure and the treasure, but there is no way to find a way to go through it anyway. What could be more frustrating?

Ying Yu even felt that it was better to help the Wei army open the city gate now, and when the army came in, she would take advantage of the chaos to directly smash through the stone wall, which would be better than digging holes so endlessly.

-- The Dividing Line --

When Invite Yu lit the first wisp of letter smoke in the palace, the spies who were in charge of climbing the heights to monitor the movements in the city immediately came to report to Tuobatao.

With this news, Tuoba Tao slowly came to the tent where Qin Zhongzhi and Zhu Rong were under house arrest.

As soon as Zhu Rong saw Tuoba Tao coming in, he snorted angrily. Qin Zhongzhi comforted Zhu Rong and said, "Don't be angry first. Look, Emperor Wei must have good news for us today. ”

Seeing that Qin Zhongzhi was boiling water and preparing to cook tea, Tuoba Tao unceremoniously sat down opposite him, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk, "What is Qin Xiang thinking about?" Do you want to join forces with me? ”

Qin Zhongzhi hurriedly put a tea bowl for Tuoba Tao, and then said, "Emperor Wei, please be patient and wait, this water is about to boil." ”

Tuoba Tao swept the kettle that was gradually steaming with cold eyes, and said with some impatience, "Qin Xiang should know that I don't have time to play dumb riddles together. Now the arrow is on the line, just waiting for the nod. ”

Qin Zhongzhi smiled with a fox face, "It's not that the foreign minister deliberately talked to him about him with Emperor Wei, but as early as the first time His Majesty asked the foreign minister, a certain person had already given the answer." And the answer is unlikely to change anything. ”

Tuoba Tao and Qin Zhongzhi looked at each other, frowned slightly, and said, "The prime minister of the princes and small countries, how can he control the court?" I know that such civil servants always want to be famous in history. With his own fiefdom, not only can he get what he wants, but even the Qin family will follow suit. ”

At this time, the water in the kettle was boiling, so Qin Zhongzhi took the kettle off the small red clay stove and put it on the side to wait for it to cool down a bit.

Qin Zhongzhi said quite sincerely, "The foreign minister is very grateful to His Majesty for thinking so well for a certain one. It's just a certain same immortal Ji, a number of monarchs and ministers. There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, the minister can admonish, and the king should also listen. From ancient times to the present, only those powerful ministers who are bent on rebellion will take the initiative to make decisions for the monarch. And so-and-so, he didn't even have the slightest intention of disobeying the fairy queen. ”

Qin Zhongzhi walked like a cloud, using a teaspoon made of bamboo tubes, and put some tea leaves in the small teapot, if it weren't for his fox face, this behavior should be very pleasing to the eye.

Qin Zhongzhi sighed slightly, "The things of men and women, such as the law of yin and yang, are the most subtle. You're interested in Senji, and there's nothing wrong with that. But once your affection is mixed with other impurities such as national affairs, ambitions, and interests, then you cannot expect Senji to simply respond to your affection. ”
