After Xiao Han led the royal forbidden army, together with the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, surrounded the mansion in front of him, he immediately let people rush in. But when they searched, they didn't even find a shadow, and they knew that Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye had left.

"There must be a secret passage, search for me!" Xiao Han was furious, "We must catch them!" ”

He has made a military order, if he can't catch Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan with so many people, he will be dealt with by military law!

The forbidden army swarmed in, but after a search, they found nothing. Xiao Han's heart sank, even if he didn't catch anyone, he had to know their movements, where did they flee? If you don't know anything, how do you go back?

"I don't believe it, he Nalan still runs so fast at night! The entire capital is blocked, where else can he escape! There must be a ghost ......" Xiao Han walked back and forth along the mansion, personally inspecting various suspicious places, "In a short period of time, even if they have wings, they can't fly far, they must still be here!" ”

"Someone!" He shouted.

The two guards immediately stepped forward: "My lord! ”

"Dig three feet into the ground for me, and find the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu, they must have been hiding, and they didn't run away at all!" Xiao Han's face was full of anger, and he stared at the suspicious places as he spoke.

At this moment, someone hurriedly came to report and excitedly said, "Report, my lord!" A secret passage was found in the garden, which seemed to lead to the secret room at the bottom of the lotus pond, but the entrance was destroyed and it was impossible to enter! ”

Xiao Han immediately burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, what did I say? Look, it's good that Lord Ben was smart and didn't leave. Come on, dig the entrance for me and capture the king and princess of Chu alive! Anyone who catches them in advance will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 and an additional rank! Whoever takes off their heads will be rewarded just as much! ”

Du Jianghu, the commander of the Terracotta Division, was suspicious: "I'm afraid it won't be, right?" How could this King of Chu block the exit and hide it himself? Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to get out? ”

Xiao Han pursed his lips, just thinking that Du Jiang wanted to take him away, and then capture Nalan Ye alive to make meritorious contributions, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lord Du, you don't understand this, right?" What is the mind of the King of Chu, can you guess it as an ordinary person? The more impossible it is, the more he will be like this, although he can't come out, but he is a subordinate! When we leave, his men will open the entrance and let him out, won't that hide from us? I'm not going to fall for him! ”

Needless to say, Xiao Han stood outside the rockery in the garden and stared, watching everyone open the entrance, all kinds of busy, moving out the stones blocking the door, and piling them up one by one.

After a while, someone hurriedly came to report: "Lord Xiao, it's not good, the stone is too heavy, it collapsed, and the two soldiers and horses were crushed underneath." ”

"What?" Du Jiang's face sank.

Xiao Hancai didn't pay attention to the pressure of his two subordinates, he only cared about why he couldn't dig through: "Master Du, your people are too careless, let you get an entrance like this, when will you get it?" In case the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu run away, everyone will be unlucky! ”

Hurried to the entrance to see, sure enough, there was chaos, not only the stone at the entrance collapsed, but I don't know how they got it, but the rockery above also affected, countless mud and gravel mixed with the rockery, all fell down, directly buried the entrance.

"It's just ......"

Xiao Han was furious, angry in front of Du Jiang, and directly commanded his forbidden army: "Don't hurry up and dig it up for me!" ”

The guard said carefully: "My lord, I'm just afraid that it won't work, I was too anxious before, but I found out that ...... It was discovered that this door was actually a broken dragon stone, at least three feet thick, once it was put down, there was no way to open the non-activated mechanism! ”

Broken Dragon Stone?

It's such a thick barrier?!

His heart sank just now, and Xiao Han immediately rejoiced again: "Okay, good, it turned out to be the Broken Dragon Stone, such a strong defense, it seems that the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu must be hiding inside." I just want to wait for us to attack before they can sneak away, no way! ”

With a turn in his mind, he said loudly: "Come on, go find gunpowder immediately, and blow up this broken dragon stone for Lord Ben!" ”

Everyone rushed to find gunpowder again.

When the gunpowder was found, two large barrels, carefully transported and pulled over on the carriage, and when the position was set up, and the lead was buried, everyone avoided the power wave of the explosives, and the guards suddenly thought of something.

"My lord, what if...... What if the King of Chu is killed? ”

"Wouldn't it be good to be blown up!" Xiao Han laughed loudly, becoming more and more proud.

If these explosives can kill Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan, wouldn't he have made a great contribution? Thinking of the possibility of being added to the ranks, Xiao Han immediately hid far away, and asked people to quickly ignite the explosives and destroy the Broken Dragon Stone.

Hiding in the gazebo in the distance, Xiao Han and Du Jiang watched nervously, only to see a faint spark coming out of the lead, which quickly shortened, and gradually spread towards the entrance, he suddenly had something in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it quickly.

What did you remember......

Suddenly, Du Jiang's eyes widened, and he blurted out: "Quick, stop!" ”

You can't blow it up!

How could he have forgotten that although those explosives could blow up the Broken Dragon Stone, the power was so fierce that it naturally blew up everything around him. In front of the entrance is the lotus pond, once the explosive explodes, I am afraid that the entire lotus pond will be poured back, and the secret room below is ......

Boom Boom!

The astonishing explosion had already sounded, and the eardrums of the people who were instantly shocked buzzed, and the ground shook.

With a loud bang, countless torrents rose from the sky, one after another like pouring rain, mixed with countless bursts of gravel and rubble, swept towards a radius of dozens of zhang.

"Ah......h

"Help! Water, so big ......"

"My eyes! I can't see with my eyes......"

Everyone shouted in panic, drenched into soup chicken one by one, even Xiao Han, who was hiding far away, was affected, and was poured cold by the pool water that fell from the sky. But he didn't care about these at all, and stared ahead with wide eyes, only to see that the entire rockery had been destroyed, as if it had never existed, and the lake poured in, and the entrance was not visible at all.

"Oh no, entrance! Oh no, everyone, fence it all up, don't let anyone go! ”

Xiao Han was shocked, he knew that the King of Chu Nalan Ye was powerful, if they hid inside, this Broken Dragon Stone blocked most of the explosion power, but he was afraid that he would be safe and sound. If he and his woman took advantage of the chaos to escape, then everything he had just done would be in vain.

With an order, no matter how chaotic it is, the entire lotus pond will be surrounded.

A group of people from the forbidden army and the soldiers and horses who had nothing to do were waiting for them, and they were guarding the vicinity with guns and knives, staring at the chaotic lotus pond one by one. I saw bubbles surging wildly in the water, a huge whirlpool kept spinning, and there was nothing to see during the mixing of countless gravel and silt.

For fear of letting Nalan Ye go, Xiao Han widened his eyes and ordered, the people who returned to the water went directly into the water to surround it, and they must not let anyone go.

Under the strict order to increase the reward, naturally some people have gone into the water and searched carefully, but the lotus pond is too big, and there are more than a dozen people who go into the water, and they will not find it for a while. After a while, nothing was found, not even a body was found.

"My lord, no, nothing...... "The soaking wet subordinates rushed to report: "The subordinates dived down in person and found that the secret passage had been filled with water, but the king of Chu and the princess of Chu ...... It's not in there at all! ”

"What?" Xiao Han's face changed drastically, and his figure was shaky.

At this moment, Du Jiang finally understood that he and the others had been fooled, and glared at Xiao Han angrily: "Okay, Lord Xiao, this is what you said, the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu must be hiding inside, and now they have wasted so much time, but they found that there is nothing, and the King of Chu and they have already fled!" ”

He flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Let go of King Chu, it's all Lord Xiao's responsibility, go and explain it to Your Majesty yourself!" With that, he turned around and left.

On the other hand, Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan naturally did not hide in the so-called secret room, but sneaked into the palace through the secret passage of the Dark Night Hall, and went directly to another place where the Dongwan royal family was extremely important.

——Located in the middle of the Imperial Palace, on the side of the Jinshui Bridge.

This is where Luo Qingluan is going!

Looking at the wide courtyard in front of him, which was open and flat and surrounded by corridors, Luo Qingluan felt a solemn and profound atmosphere coming from afar. Outside the wall, the ancient cypress is shady, verdant and silent, and the inner courtyard of the halberd gate is empty, and even a figure cannot be seen.

A bronze furnace stands a little southwest, and three large incense sticks as tall as a man are inserted into it, and smoke curls and rises.

Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye walked in front, as if they were in a no-man's land.

"Princess, why is there no one here?" Yongan asked curiously.

With a faint smile, Luo Qingluan asked rhetorically, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Yongan looked east and west again, and shook his head in confusion: "My subordinates don't know, but since I have entered the palace, it is naturally the place of the Dongwan royal family, and the princess should be careful." ”

"We don't have to be careful this time, but they have to be careful." Luo Qingluan seemed to be smiling, and strode forward.

Now that they have arrived here, there is no need to be afraid anymore, this is the Taimiao of the Dongwan royal family, the place to pay tribute to the ancestors' family temple, if others dare to be lawless in this place, do whatever they want, just afraid of destroying any grass and trees, Emperor Dongwan will not spare him first, right?

She wants to come to see if Emperor Dongwan dares to send troops here.

went straight to the main hall dedicated to the royal family gods, until he entered the palace gate, Luo Qingluan finally saw a palace person placing the fruit, and when he heard the voice behind him, he suddenly turned around, and was stunned: "You guys...... Who are you, how dare you trespass on the Taimiao? ”

Yuan Xing couldn't wait for a long time, and a flying column rushed over, grabbed the collar of the palace man and lifted him out, laughing. The frightened soul of the palace did not possess the body, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, completely unaware of what was happening.

This is the Taimiao, except for the time when the emperor worships, no idler dares to come, but what is the origin of this group of fierce and evil people in front of him?

Luo Qingluan stood in front of the palace people, glanced at the tablets in the main hall, and said lightly: "Go and tell Emperor Dongwan immediately, let him come to see us in person, and say that the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu are waiting for him here." ”

……

Just received the news from Du Jiang, the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, saying that the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu had run away, Emperor Dongwan was furious, and he slammed the items in front of the imperial case all over the ground: "Bastard, so many people can't catch a King of Chu, even his woman, it's just a rice bucket!" ”

Du Jiang immediately complained: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Commander Xiao's insistence, the King of Chu would not have run away......"

"Smack!" Another teacup smashed over, and Du Jiangzhi, who was hot from the splashing tea, frowned, but he didn't dare to wipe it at all.

Emperor Dongwan was furious, and was about to summon the crown prince Xiao Yuqi, when he saw Bao Quanan talking to a little eunuch, and then his face changed greatly.

Bao Quanan hurriedly came over and whispered a few words in the ear of Emperor Dongwan, who rose to his feet, his face changed greatly: "What, the king of Chu and the princess of Chu are in the Taimiao?" ”
