Chapter 282: The End of the Wellhead
He stroked the lines engraved with small characters, which were still familiar to the child: "The palace is more shy about life and death than ordinary people, except for the special cases allowed by the Son of Heaven, except for the things selected for burial, they must be destroyed after death, and even the portraits must be burned together." I didn't expect to see it again in such a way, and I was really emotional. ”
Xiang Yeqi's throat was sour, and she would rather swallow two lemons raw than let herself be so panicked.
She untied the small pocket on her waist, and after replacing all the useless things for storage, she handed the pocket to Bo Zhaoxu: "It's rare to meet it, you can take it back, right?" Otherwise, it will be ...... I can't say for sure, but you'll be able to rest assured when you bring it back. ”
"No need."
Seeing Xiang Yeqi's clumsy appearance of wanting to comfort himself, Bo Zhaoxu was much relieved, put the hosta back in its place, pressed two strings of agate bracelets as before, and said calmly: "I will always take this thing back in person one day, but now, it is better not to startle the snake, rashly take away something, I am afraid that there will be an omission." ”
"Really?" Xiang Yeqi asked again.
Seeing that Bo Zhaoxu shook his head, he calmly called out that he didn't have to, but he was reluctant to fall in love with Bo Zhaoxu.
She sighed for her overly rational man, and quietly hid the pink hosta a little deeper, but still set aside a hairpin head, so that she could find it again in the future, and would not be regarded as missing by Gongzi Xie.
Xiang Yeqi took Bo Zhaoxu's wrist and strode towards the road ahead: "Don't worry, my memory has always been very good, and I will definitely be able to help you find it next time I come, as for those people from the Xie family, I am sure that I can't find the things I have hidden even if I rummage through them." ”
Bo Zhaoxu's eyes narrowed a slit, and he responded with a chuckle: "Okay." ”
If the road went straight down, he returned to Bo Zhaoxu's house, and probed the candlelight to one of the forks in the road to the night, and said: "There is the sound of water here, and the connecting exit should be a real well, and what needs to be covered up by a real well should be either where people live, or something more important." ”
Bo Zhaoxu nodded in agreement, and after the two reached this consensus, they tacitly agreed all the way until they came to the end of this road.
It's a brick wall.
The brick wall in front of me has been looking at it for some years, and it belongs to the same time as the underground palace, and there is only a thin rusty mechanism, and a secret door appears in front of you when you press it hard.
Xiang Yeqi thought that there would be a living well at the end of this road, but after the secret door fell quietly, it turned out to be a moat under the gate behind the monarch's city......
When Juncheng was still the capital of Huaguo, there were originally four city gates, but the heavy rain in the year of moving the capital was repeated, which washed away the stone bridge used to cross the road into the city, leaving only half of the remnant bridge on the other side of the bridge was not bed, and since then the two banks of the moat of Juncheng have been separated, but the heavy rain has not stopped.
At that time, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to listen to the results of the calculations of the national teacher day and night, and decided to move the capital to Beijing, dismantling and filling in the bricks of the impassable back city gate, and also spent two other city gates to enter the monarch's city.
After decades of changes, the depth of the river water of the moat of Juncheng sank, and a small depression surfaced on both banks, and the stone bridge could have been repaired, but the city lord of Juncheng had thought that the city gate had been demolished, so no one had repaired the stone bridge, and the stone bridge continued to be abandoned for several years.
And the stone gate that was put down turned out to be under the hundred-year-old stone bridge that had been abandoned for many years, and it just led to the depression under the stone bridge.
Before he bypassed the stone bridge, he had already seen the smoke blowing in the wind on the shore, but the gate behind the city was not an official road at all, but a long-abandoned forest!
If it is said that the closest to here is a small border town in Hu Kingdom, but it is also separated by a long road that requires a difficult trek, and ordinary people cannot endure this hardship.
Xiang Yeqi and Bo Zhaoxu glanced at each other, and decided to jump onto the corner of the broken bridge to see the movement on the shore.
Bo Zhaoxu jumped onto the broken side of the stone bridge with Xiang Yeqi in his arms, and quietly hid in the shadows, only to see a whole Hu Ren military camp stationed in the barren forest on the shore!
Since the back city gate was abolished, even the officers and soldiers of Juncheng directly gave up patrolling the back city gate, and the stone staircase to the city gate was demolished for several years.
It is simply impossible to want this group of Hu soldiers stationed on the other side of the river in the back city wall, and those Hu soldiers should have known about this early, so they did not deliberately hide it at all, and set up camp tents on the other side of the river, and roasted two heads of venison from time to time to satisfy their hunger.
If you want to know this, you must have someone in the city to report it.
Xie Gongzi's collusion with the Hu people could not be clearer.
The stone bridge has been blown by wind and rain for many years, and it is indeed not as strong as it was back then, but it just took a side, and several pieces of gravel fell down, and fell into the river.
The Hu soldiers on the shore were also very sensitive, and when they found the strange noise here, they began to nervously collect the visions around them.
Bo Zhaoxu did not hesitate for half a minute, and immediately threw a few poisonous needles and shot at the birds in the air, and several more birds fell into the river and were washed to the shore by the river.
The most nervous Hu soldiers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, picked up two birds that were soaked in the river water, and scolded: "Which of you is so greedy that you dare to hit the birds here, aren't you afraid that these beasts are also infected with the disease?" Once you eat your stomach, no one can run! ”
Thinking that he had a bigger rank, none of the Hu soldiers who listened to the training below dared to refute his words, and they all honestly reprimanded him, silently writing their dissatisfaction on their faces.
Bo Zhaoxu took this opportunity to carry Xiang Yeqi back to the depression and hid back in the dark passage under the bridge.
The stone gate gradually closed, and the Hu soldiers who listened to Fang Cai's lecture to the night were released again: "I haven't eaten roasted birds for several days, and I am really hungry for this bite, alas, the taste of this roast is really gluttonous!" Next time, don't let me see your hands and feet so dishonest, otherwise be careful with this deputy general's law! ”
The smell of roasted birds really spread back into the dark tunnel.
And one of them came back, and another Hu soldier said with a flattering meaning: "General, you can eat with confidence, my subordinates have seen it in a certain Laoshzi's book, saying that the disease on this bird is only passed on to those things with wings and hair, not to people, so you can eat with confidence, it's absolutely fine!" ”
……
Xiang Yeqi shook his head helplessly, whether this is passed on to people or not depends on what kind of disease it is, if these people are allowed to enter the monarch city, it will be a sincere pathogen.
She reacted coldly - she almost believed what the Hu lieutenant said.
Looking at Bo Zhaoxu beside him again, he actually thought about it very seriously, and said: "If it is poisoned by the needle, those Hu people should only think that it is a bird epidemic, and they will not be suspicious." ”
Good guy, Xiang Yeqi thought that Bo Zhaoxu was just shooting a few birds to hide people's eyes, but he didn't expect to fill the small abacus and plan it from the beginning.
Xiang Yeqi said: "Are you planning to let them mess up the square inch first, so that they can make a sudden move?" ”
"Not bad."
Bo Zhaoxu explained to Ye Yan very simply, "They must be in a hurry to go down to the river to catch the fallen birds at this time, and if they count one or the other, they will all die of poison due to the poisonous needles on the birds, and at that time, everyone will be in danger, and they will not dare to make any big moves for a while, so as to suspend the situation." ”
After all, Juncheng was the old capital, if it was captured by the Hu people, but it could still turbulent the hearts of the Chinese people than the seven cities of the border pass, and the Hu people played a good game.
In addition, Juncheng has the particularity of the back city gate, once it is in collusion with the quite capable people in the city, it is not necessary to spend a single soldier to secretly enter the city to slaughter, even if you take precautions early, it is easy to fall into a disadvantage because you don't know the opponent's movements, and it is even more difficult to take the initiative to control the enemy.
The Hu soldiers have been stationed here early, which means that the Hu people are already waiting for an opportunity to move, Gu Yanchao should have persuaded Qiu Ming, who pretended to join forces, to fight when he would enter Juncheng.
And the source of the underground palace leads to many wells that no one notices, and if the Hu soldiers want to occupy the Juncheng quietly, I am afraid it will only take one night.
Now I don't know how Gongzi Xie and these people joined forces, but seeing that Gongzi Xie has moved out of his house so urgently to get rid of everything, both sides are probably unable to hold back, waiting for a signal.
Combined with what the concubines of the Xie family said, I am afraid that this signal will not wait long before it will fall into the hands of these Hu people on the other side.
And if Gongzi Xie already knew that he and Bo Zhaoxu lived in Juncheng, and he and Bo Zhaoxu didn't know that the other party had built a secret underground palace, then the Hu soldiers would enter Juncheng, and the first one to suffer should be to rest in the house, and he and Bo Zhaoxu would have no time to prevent it.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but shudder.
Thinking of these, Xiang Yeqi didn't dare to delay for a moment, and worked hard with Yingyan and others all night, and finally rushed out a new copy of "Anecdotes" to lead Xie Gongzi into the game.
This game is also simple, Xiang Yeqi just shook out the other places where Xie Gongzi secretly hid the stolen goods, leaving only one place in the underground palace for Xie Gongzi to hide those jewels that could not see the light of day.
Others, in the name of an undisclosed wealthy merchant, were published in the "Anecdotes", indicating that their time was short, and they had no heirs to inherit the family business, so they wanted to leave these belongings to the people of the king's city who had been kind to them, but fearing that they would not have many possessions, so they left these belongings somewhere, and waited for those destined to go and find them on their own, and take away what they needed, without leaving their names, surnames, and notes.
Juncheng, which had been peaceful for several years, suddenly boiled, and many people in Juncheng took out their shovels and pickaxes at home to dig up the legacy left by this anonymous wealthy merchant.
