Chapter 217 Secret Passage

The mountains in this area are undulating, and the green and black layers of trees block the winter sun, which is not bright, and there are only a few fragments of light that fall down, making the forest overcast. The corners of several small cabins peek out from the dense woods, and you can't see them unless you look closely. The lush wooded places in this area are the royal hunting grounds, and these wooden houses are the wooden houses where the forest keepers live.

At this time, two galloping figures shuttled through the forest, and soon settled in front of the cabin, one of them was wearing a navy blue robe, because of several days of running, the fine silk robe showed traces of wrinkles, and there were a few traces of blood, and then look closely at the man's face, under the somewhat haggard eyes were two cyan projections, and a circle of newly grown cyan stubble climbed on the thin chin.

The man glanced at the cabin in front of him, stretched the corners of his eyebrows, and said, "It should be here." ”

A man wearing a black silk and gold brocade robe beside him responded: "Well, Your Highness, we have been running around day and night for several days, and we have finally arrived at this royal hunting ground. ”

These two people, one is the fifth prince Yan Yuchi, and the other is his personal guard Black Dragon.

After the palace coup that day, Yan Yuchi and Heilong escaped from the ambush set up by Yan Yujun, and ran all the way to the north with a team of 500 people, they wanted to ask the Marquis of Beiwei to send troops to reinforce Yandu and rescue the Emperor Shengde who was imprisoned by Yan Yujun, however, what was waiting for them there was not the rescue of the Marquis of Beiwei, but the interception of Lin Yuexi's 5,000 men and horses, fortunately, they had received the news that Princess Damu Yulin was ambushed in the north in advance, so they kept an eye on it before coming here. Before they got close to the area of the northern Xinjiang garrison, they had already smelled a killing atmosphere in the opposing army, and they knew that the situation was not good, so they immediately retreated, but they were still pursued by Lin Yuexi's five thousand soldiers and horses. But how could a mere 500 people be the opponent of Lin Yuexi's 5,000 soldiers and horses? The people around Yan Yuchi desperately protected him to break out of the encirclement, and he was attacked by demons along the way, and there were not many personal guards left around him in the end, but fortunately he and the black dragon were not seriously injured. They fled all the way, day and night, surrounded the surrounding cities of Yandu, spared most of the circle, and then returned to Yandu.

Yan Yuchi was about to enter inside, so he ordered: "Black Dragon, you are guarding outside, I'll go inside and take a look." ”

The black dragon nodded, "Your Highness, the forest guards here have been patrolling for about an hour, and Your Highness has to come out within an hour." ”

Yan Yuchi pushed the door and walked in, closed the door casually, looked around, and saw that the wooden walls were brown, black, simple and shiny, he patted the wooden wall of the room, and a strong and powerful banging sound came out, and it could be seen that the wood was very good, and it was indeed a house built by the royal family.

In fact, the wooden house was built in the palace to facilitate the patrol of the forest guards, and the wood used is the finest wood, and the best anticorrosive materials are used, so although it has existed for thousands of years, it is still strong. However, this is also due to the fact that several generations of Emperor Tianyan have sent their closest people to renovate the wooden house several times, which has preserved its current appearance.

He walked a few steps inside the hut, stood still by one of the walls, stared at the wall for a while, and then pried open a piece of wood on the wall with his sword, revealing two and a half moons of copper. He turned the two half-moon shapes, only to hear a heavy thud, and suddenly a crack opened in the floor of the room, and the gray-brown dust on the ground that had not been opened for a long time rushed straight upward, and the gap gradually opened, and several blue-gray steps emerged from under the black pitch.

The corners of his mouth hooked, and he walked down the steps, which were only a meter or two high, and soon reached the ground. Through the faint light, you can see a palm-sized green beast stone exuding a majestic aura on the stone wall. He grabbed the green beast stone and turned it around, and the ground above his head gradually closed, and his five fingers suddenly disappeared from the closed space.

He took out a pearl of the night, and looked at the pattern on the wall, on which there was a row of Buddha statues, and his eyes fell on the fifth Buddha statue, which was not much different from the previous images. He lifted his sword and slashed it at his arm without hesitation, and in an instant, blood gushed out. He dripped blood onto the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue penetrated the blood, reacted, and began to launch a red light, and after a while, only a heavy clicking sound was heard, and the stone wall opened, and suddenly a black and stunned cave appeared, as if it had been sealed for a long time, and there was a trace of dry and cold wind coming from the cave entrance.

He walked in without hesitation, the cave was dry, and the light of the night pearl in his hand was enough to illuminate the path under his feet and the stone walls on both sides. It didn't take long for a pattern to appear on both sides of the stone wall, on which were painted portraits of the ancestors of Tianyan, and there was also a lengthy text describing the great achievements they had made.

Although these portraits and texts have lost their original vivid color after thousands of years of baptism, they are still clearly recognizable.

Yan Yuchi's gaze fell on one of the paintings, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The mural depicts a red-robed woman standing in the midst of thousands of horses, calmly directing the battle, leading the way and fighting the enemy, the tip of her sword pointed at the murderous enemy army in front of her.

This female general can be engraved on the stone wall with only the portraits of Tianyan's ancestors, obviously her status is not ordinary, but he has never heard of the deeds of such a female general in the history of Tianyan's creation of the country, why is this?

He took a closer look at the text on the other side, and the text was to the effect that the Holy Gu of the Realm Spirit Domain had led a group of divine soldiers to assist the Tianyan Ancestor in defeating the enemy, unifying the territory of Tianyan, and establishing the Tianyan Kingdom, which made immortal contributions to Tianyan.

"Realm Spirit Domain? That female general is from the realm spirit realm? Yan Yuchi had never heard of the Realm Spirit Domain, the female general was another mystery, and the Realm Spirit Domain was another mystery, these questions after questions made his face full of confusion, and when he looked at the woman again, the temperament exuded from her body made him unconsciously think of someone, however, he quickly smiled and shook his head, how could he think of her? Maybe I miss her too much.

He retracted his thoughts and continued walking, when a white lotus flower appeared on the stone wall, and the white lotus flower was still vivid despite thousands of years. He counted the lotus, stopped on the twenty-fifth lotus, he raised his arm, slashed his arm with his sword, and dripped blood on the white lotus, after the lotus sucked the blood, faintly glowed red, and after a while, it became bright, illuminating the surrounding stone wall, and after a while, the lotus flower gradually protruded from the stone wall, as if suddenly "growing" from the stone.

He was overjoyed, turned the red lotus, and a roaring sound came from above the red lotus, so a stone cabinet door opened, and a jade box with a simple color appeared inside, he looked a little excited, stared at it with bated breath for a while, and then reached out to take out the box. Opening the lid of the box, a burst of blue light came to his face, it was a square green jade engraved with the auspicious dragon and phoenix, and his gaze fell on the green jade calmly and respectfully.

This square green jade is Tianyan's heirloom jade seal, and it is also what Yan Yujun and they have been looking for everywhere in the past two months.

Two months ago, after Emperor Shengde was suddenly attacked by assassins in the Qianqing Palace, he realized that he and the throne were not secure, and he also realized that Yan Yujun might do whatever it took to seize the throne, so he hid this jade seal in this top-secret secret secret passage that only Tianyan's future heir to the throne could see.

Yan Yuchi has a dragon scale birthmark on his body, and he is the most qualified prince to inherit the throne of Tianyan determined by the realm spirit domain, and he is also the heir to the throne that he is satisfied with, so after the assassin incident, he told Yan Yuchi the hiding place of the jade seal.

Yan Yuchi put away the jade seal and turned the red lotus, so the stone cabinet door slowly closed and disappeared into the wall, and the red lotus also turned into a white lotus and returned to the stone wall.

At this time, the position of the secret passage he was standing on was the Qianqing Palace. The thrilling scene of that day still appeared in front of his eyes at this moment, and his eyes quickly burst out with a cold light:

Sooner or later, Yan Yujun will pay the price for his inaction!

He was just about to start his steps, thinking of the queen in the cold palace, his adoptive mother, he sighed, hesitated for a while, and returned along the secret passage.

Seeing that he had returned smoothly, the black dragon couldn't help but frown: "Your Highness, you have returned so soon." ”

Yan Yuchi nodded, his expression was a little gloomy, "It's just that I can't go to see my mother, let alone save her, she is now locked up in the cold palace, and her life will definitely be difficult." ”

The black dragon comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, the queen mother is taken care of by Mama Li, and we have the secret guards left in the palace to protect her, so there is no danger of her life for the time being." ”

The two were about to leave, when suddenly a crimson bird rushed down from the sky and landed on Yan Yuchi's shoulder, and his shoulder shook because of the pressure of the bird's swoop.

"The fire qilin rushed over in such a hurry, it seems that there is a situation in the palace?" Yan Yuchi said as he reached over to the fire qilin and skillfully took a letter from it.

After reading the letter, his slender brows gradually frowned, "A woman broke into the palace today, and she was trapped in Qixian Palace by Yan Yujun. ”

The black dragon looked at the fire qilin and muttered puzzledly, "What does this woman have to do with us, such news is also sent to the fire qilin to report to us, and we are not afraid of exposing our whereabouts?" ”

"This woman went to the cold palace to see the queen, and also helped the queen teach Shuguifei a lesson, and she was kind to us, so Qifeng reported the news to me." Yan Yuchi replied with a deep groan.

The black dragon's face was a little disapproving, "Even if we are gracious, but what can we do, we are weak, we can't protect ourselves, can we still go to the palace to save people?" ”

Yan Yuchi pondered for a while, "This woman should be our ally, maybe it's still a member of the Wind Sect, tell the news to the Wind Sect." ”

The black dragon nodded, "Okay, I'll report to the Wind Sect immediately, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, then Your Highness, let's go quickly." ”

The two left the royal hunting ground and headed east.
