"When facing the wind, don't be rude!"

Shangguan Qingyue took the opportunity to drag Wei Linfeng back, and then his tone softened a little again, "Childe, my brother has always been more temperamental, so don't blame it." But we do have something important to do, so I'm sorry today, so I'll take my leave. ”

After that, regardless of whether the other party answered or not, he pulled up his sleeves and ran out of the crowd. In short, we can't afford to waste any more time here!

"Hey! You ......"

"Yiran, forget it, we still have something."

The man who had been beside him and had not spoken retracted his gaze at the backs of Shangguan Qingyue and the others, and opened his mouth lightly. Then he ignored him and left first.

Sun Mansion.

"Demon fox!" Shangguan Qingyue had just entered Sun Zhengyuan's house and was seeing him leading his men to search carefully.

"Yue'er, Linfeng?" Zhongli Junqing raised his head and saw that the two of them were panting and running, and their foreheads were covered with sweat, so they couldn't help but be quite surprised, "Yue'er, you are not feeling well, and you are not resting honestly at home, why did you come here?" ”

"I'm fine. Demon fox, what's the matter, have you found any entrances to the secret passages? ”

A completely enclosed space, apart from the tunnel, there is nothing else. In addition, the picture of Sun's mansion appeared in her mind, so there should be a secret passage here, and the person who painted it might really be inside!

The most important thing is that the person is still alive---- which is definitely an extremely important clue!

Zhongli Junqing shook his head in annoyance after hearing this, "Not yet, including all the trees, I have searched everywhere, but I still haven't found anything." ”

"How could it be ......" Shangguan Qingyue frowned slightly, and began to look around.

If there is a secret passage, there must be a corresponding mechanism that can be opened or closed, and it will never come out of thin air.

"Demon fox, let me see that piece of green jade brocade again."

She felt that the paintings that appeared on the green jade brocade could not be groundless, and maybe they had a direct connection with the dark path, but they had not yet understood the mystery.

Opened the green onion jade brocade again, Shangguan Qingyue turned it over again and looked at it carefully a few times. That's right, it's exactly the same as that night. Looking at it is a picture of the Spring Festival, and looking at it from the side, it is a dense tree.

What's the problem? Facing the sun, Shangguan Qingyue raised the onion jade brocade and looked at it with a frown.

Suddenly, the slightest difference in the picture on the green jade brocade caught her attention.

"Demon fox, Linfeng, look here!"

"Oh?"

Following Shangguan Qingyue's fingers, Zhongli Junqing and Wei Linfeng gathered together to take a closer look, and sure enough, they found the slightest change.

Through the sunlight, I saw the navel of the person on the painting, and it was actually revealed! But when you don't face the sun, you hide it again!

No wonder, it was late last time, so a few people didn't notice the difference. In addition, the front side looks like the navel area, while the side looks like an inconspicuous protrusion on the trunk of a tree......

"Perhaps, this bulge is where the key mechanism is!"

Zhongli Junqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately waved his hand and beckoned the subordinates of the other criminal departments to hurry up and inspect the trees with similar protrusions on the side of the trunk.

In fact, it is not only Zhongli Junqing who is anxious, but also Shangguan Qingyue. Because if it is only a moment late, that person will be more dangerous.

"Let's find it together!"

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't sit still after all, so she also motioned for Wei Linfeng to follow her to find her in the courtyard.

Half an hour later, in the backyard.

The trees in the front yard and in the garden were inspected one by one again, and now there are only a dozen or so left in the backyard! It's really strange to look at the branches of so many trees, although occasionally I find some bulges, but either they are too big or too small, or they are in the wrong position, in short, they are all cut off, and I don't see any mystery.

Shangguan Qingyue frowned slightly, and wiped the sweat on his forehead. The others were still busy, and even if there was little hope, she had to hold on until the end.

"Yue'er, come and see!"

Near a small rockery, beside a two-person tall plane tree, Zhongli Junqing shouted as if he had noticed something.

"Demon fox, how's it going?" Shangguan Qingyue hurriedly stepped forward and took a closer look.

That's right, on the side of the trunk of this unobtrusive plane tree, there is indeed a raised block about the same size as in the painting, and the position is also in the same place.

Is this the place?

Everyone couldn't hide their excitement, Zhongli Junqing immediately stretched out his hand and fiddled with the front, back, left and right, but unfortunately, the bulge did not move at all.

How so? Suddenly, everyone drooped their heads like deflated balls. This is already the last tree, and it seems that they are going to return again in vain today?

"What the hell is going on?" Shangguan Qingyue folded her arms and fell into deep thought. I always feel that the instructions on the green jade brocade should be correct, but what else has not been figured out?

At this moment, the sun is in the middle of the sky, it is the hottest time of the day, the sun shines from the leaves of the sycamore branches, and the small points of light gradually flicker on the ground.

"Second cousin, you are not in good health, let's sit in the shade and drink saliva and rest." On the side, Wei Linfeng found a glass of water and stabbed Shangguan Qingyue, who seemed to be in a daze.

Shangguan Qingyue took the teacup and drank it all, while everyone was still wandering around, leaving moving shadows on the ground.

"Yue'er, look there......" Suddenly, Zhongli Junqing, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly pointed to a position very close to the tree.

“...... Kennel? ”

Following the direction that Zhongli Junqing was pointing, Shangguan Qingyue turned his head to look. It turned out that it was a small kennel built with ordinary straw in the corner of the courtyard wall. At this moment, because it is not far from the plane tree, the shadow of the tree is reflected on it. And the raised part of the tree falls right in the middle of the upper end of the nest door!

"Demon fox, you mean ......"

After Zhongli Junqing's prompt, Shangguan Qingyue suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the painting on the green jade brocade does not refer to the real thing, but to the shadow of the plane tree after the sun shines down!?

And the part where the navel is located is exactly the central position of the person, then, in other words, at noon at this moment, the shadow position of the bulge should be where the organ is located!

"Check it out!"

Zhongli Junqing rushed over with an arrow, before, the people in their criminal department were not unaware of the kennel in the corner, but this ordinary thing was really nothing abnormal, so no one could associate it with it.

Shangguan Qingyue and Wei Linfeng followed closely behind, leaning down to observe Zhongli Junqing's movements. But I saw that he first picked up the straw at the top of the nest in the raised shadow of the plane tree, and then touched it, and there was nothing abnormal. Then he reached through the door of the nest again, and likewise groped for the shadow that had just been raised.

"There it is!" Zhongli Junqing's eyes lit up when he touched a very small piece of wood.

"Really?" Everyone present was excited when they heard this, and everyone was gearing up.

"Boom ......"

With a dull sound of rocks, I saw that the middle rock of the rockery behind them began to be slowly opened.

It turned out that there was no rockery to cover it, and a small wooden door was suddenly exposed!

"Great, finally found!"

To be honest, this place is indeed very hidden, plus there are rockeries around to cover, usually, if you don't know the place, no one will notice! I have to say that the person who built this secret path was extremely thoughtful!

"Open it up and see." With that, Zhongli Junqing instructed his subordinates to pick up a stone and try to smash it into the iron lock that locked the wooden door.

"Wait, don't smash ......"

Shangguan Qingyue motioned to the subordinate to stop, and tugged at the corner of his lips: "I'll come."

Behind this door, whether there is anyone or who, they are not clear. What if the lock is smashed too much, what should I do if there is any emergency?

"You?"

"Hmm." Soon, Shangguan Qingyue found a rattan silk that had been discarded here around for binding, and then walked back to the wooden door, leaned down and began to fiddle with the lock above.

Zhongli Junqing glanced at Wei Linfeng, who was also very surprised, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Shangguan Qingyue really deserves to be the second lady of the Wei Mansion, she is indeed "versatile", if she doesn't have the identity of an official lady, she is really easy to be regarded as a thief.

"Snap ......" not long after, and the lock is opened. Shangguan Qingyue turned his head and made an OK gesture to Zhongli Junqing and the others, and opened the secret door directly.

Everyone peeked in, and it was full of black rumbling, and they couldn't see anything.

"You guys go get the torches ready!" Zhongli Junqing immediately instructed his subordinates.

In a few moments, several people from the criminal department prepared several torches, just waiting for the order of the boss.

"Demon fox, where is Lord Jing?"

Looking at the few people standing side by side now, Shangguan Qingyue asked. Investigating this kind of relatively long secret passage should be easier for more people to take care of.

"He, I heard that it seems that there is going to be a guest from the Junjia Kingdom in the palace today, and he was recruited into the palace by the emperor early in the morning." Zhongli Junqing saw that she seemed to be uneasy, so he patted his chest, "Yue'er, don't worry, the people in our criminal department are all elites, let's take the lead first, go in and have a look, you just wait here!" ”

"Forget it, I'd better go in with you." Shangguan Qingyue immediately grabbed his sleeve, "Outside, you leave two people to answer." ”

"Not allowed!"

Before Zhongli Junqing could answer, with a shout, Qu Jinglan's figure appeared not far away.

"I've seen Lord Jing." The prince appeared, and the others naturally greeted him.

"No courtesy."

After that, Qu Jinglan approached Shangguan Qingyue, who seemed to be full of unhappiness, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, "Shangguan Qingyue, this king asks you, if you insist on going in, if an accident happens, can you protect yourself?" ”

“…… Yes, why can't I? Shangguan Qingyue raised her head and held the Youhua fan tightly in her hand. Anyway, it's also an artifact that has a contract with itself, at least, it won't let itself hang up in times of crisis...... Right? Besides, there are still people waiting for help in eighty percent of it, how can she back down?

"In our Canglang country, for those who talk big, they will be arrested and paraded in the streets." Qu Jinglan put his hands behind his back, as if what he had stated was the truth.

"What? Lord, you're enough! Shangguan Qingyue felt that his lungs were about to be blown up by him, this is the legendary prince who exists like a god? Are you sure it wasn't the big-tailed wolf who changed?

"Shangguan Qingyue, how can you talk to this king?" As he spoke, Qu Jinglan raised his hand and patted her fair and smooth forehead, of course, his strength was not great.

"Junqing, Linfeng, let's go in!" In the end, Qu Jinglan also ignored her anymore, and called Zhongli Junqing and Wei Linfeng to turn around and leave.

"Yes!"
