Chapter 491: The Dark Room
Su Jinxiu listened to the sound outside the door of the dark room very nervously, and as for Pei Jianxi and the imperial doctor, they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
"You'd better find a place to hide later."
As soon as Pei Jianxi finished saying this, he heard the imperial doctor also echo on the side, "There are so many footsteps, it seems that they should have discovered us, you have to hide later, don't drag the two of us back." ”
"Of course I know that, and I think there's a lot of poison in the darkroom."
Su Jinxiu walked to the dark room, not guarding the door with the other two people, after all, the door is more dangerous.
As soon as Su Jinxiu found a shelf for storing poisons, the door of the dark room was opened, and the three of them looked outside the dark room together, only to see that the outside of the dark room was densely packed with guards.
Before Su Jinxiu could react, he saw that Pei Jianxi and the imperial doctor had already rushed forward, the last second they were bare-handed, and the next second they didn't know which guard had snatched the knife from the hand, and when Su Jinxiu secretly observed on the side, he found that the imperial doctor's martial arts were very good.
Su Jinxiu hid in the dark to inspect the poison on the poison shelf, even though Su Jinxiu was very secretive, but in the end it was discovered by the group of guards with excellent martial arts.
I saw that the guards instantly realized that Su Jinxiu was in a group with the two of them, so they stepped forward to arrest Su Jinxiu.
Su Jinxiu saw that the guards rushed towards him, and he couldn't care about anything for a while, so he directly threw the poison in his hand.
I saw that the guard cut open the bottle containing the poison with a knife, and the next second he took the guard and immediately fell to the ground.
The speed was so fast that Su Jinxiu didn't know how the poison was cured for a while.
The guards who were about to rush up saw their companions fall to the ground, so they stopped directly on the ground, and Pei Jianxi and the imperial doctor took this opportunity to knock down all the guards who were standing in place.
Su Jinxiu was secretly hiding in the dark, and there was a shelf full of poison at hand, as a life-saving weapon, as for Pei Jianxi and the imperial doctor, their martial arts were not low, and when they cooperated, they were simply invincible.
The most important thing is that the two people are obviously working together for the first time, but they have a tacit understanding.
In the blink of an eye, most of the guards in the dark room had been wiped out, but even so, no one had given these guards the order to retreat.
Until all the guards in the dark room were killed, Su Jinxiu walked out, but found that the old man and the old lady had long been gone.
"It seems that the two of them should have already taken advantage of the chaos to escape."
"Hey, there's no way around it, after all, this dark room is too narrow for it to chase out."
What Pei Jianxi said was indeed true, after all, the number of guards in the group just now was really a bit large, and it seemed that the whole room was very crowded.
"You said that if we walked out of this dark room now, would the old lady stand at the door of the study and wait for us?"
Su Jinxiu looked at the road leading to the study, and a trace of speculation vaguely rose in her heart, if they and the others found the old lady in this dark room just now, it would be the old lady's disadvantage, but if the old lady found them at the door of the study, it would be bad for them.
"Quite possibly, but the key problem now is that we don't know any hidden paths in this dark room other than the one in the study."
"Or maybe there's no hidden road."
"So we have to find something from here that can make the old lady jealous."
After Su Jinxiu sighed, she turned her head and entered the innermost dark room again, although the stench in this dark room was extremely foul, but maybe there were really some very important clues.
Pei Jianxi didn't agree with Su Jinxiu's statement, because Pei Jianxi felt that what they had at present was enough to threaten the old lady, and even if the old lady found out about them, they wouldn't dare to do anything.
However, it is undeniable that Su Jinxiu's idea is more reliable, and I saw that the imperial doctor had already stepped into the dark room again and looked for clues with Su Jinxiu.
"How about we just drag this corpse out?"
The imperial doctor looked at the pile of white bones and came up with an idea, but Su Jinxiu directly denied it on the side.
"I don't think so, by the way, you said that every afternoon, the old lady has to enter this study, is it to see people, or to do something unseemly with his maidservant."
Su Jinxiu said this sentence very seriously, Pei Jianxi and the imperial doctor, they both thought that it was the first one.
"So there must be another hidden path in this dark room, otherwise, why don't we see anyone entering or leaving the old lady's mansion every afternoon?"
"It does make a lot of sense."
Pei Jianxi said that he began to rummage around, and he didn't know where the secret door or secret passage was.
When the three of them were rummaging, they also talked about the old lady.
Su Jinxiu has only recently begun to understand the affairs of the old lady, so the main thing is to listen to the other two people talk there, and these two people seem to know a lot about the old lady.
Just when Su Jinxiu was listening carefully to the story about the old lady, she seemed to have stepped on a round medicine bottle under her feet, and she was uncontrollable for a while, and poured directly into the shelf where the medicine was placed behind her.
Before Su Jinxiu could react, he even fell to the ground with a shelf.
Fortunately, it is the last shelf, otherwise all the shelves in this room would have to fall, but it is a pity that the medicinal herbs on this shelf.
Su Jinxiu looked at the expression of the medicinal materials on this shelf, and was very distressed, but Su Jinxiu didn't feel distressed for long before he heard a slight click.
"There is a voice!"
Pei Jianxi and the others stepped forward to care about Su Jinxiu, but they didn't expect Su Jinxiu to say this sentence directly, at that time, Su Jinxiu looked around him very seriously, and finally found that the medicine shelf behind him had moved to the right, and at the same time a tunnel was exposed.
I actually dug a tunnel in my own house, how much money does it cost?
The sound here also attracted the imperial doctor, and I saw the imperial doctor hurriedly rushing over.
"It seems that this should be another passage, but where this passage leads is still uncertain."
"Maybe it's the passage where the old lady meets every day."
After Su Jinxiu finished speaking, he couldn't wait to go to the tunnel, and the imperial doctor and Pei Jianxi also followed.
After the three of them arrived in the tunnel, they found that the tunnel was very wide and narrow, and almost only one person could pass it.
