Chapter 146: The Secret Passage

Chu Ye quickly glanced at Xia Li, and began to carefully touch the many objects placed under the Buddha statue.

The incense burner, the fruit bowl, and even the offerings placed on it were not let go one by one, and they were picked up and put down one after another.

But the two of them searched for a while, until they found half a pile of incense, and they didn't find any secret doors that could be twisted.

Chu Ye stopped and stood aside and thought for a moment, Xia Li also crossed his hands on his hips and thought about where the door would be opened, the two of them thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in their minds, and they all reached out to lift the portrait on the wall.

Xia Li came to see this person stretch out his hand, and his hand retracted halfway, anyway, whoever lifts it is the same.

When the portrait was lifted, she saw that there was a small pull ring inside, Chu Ye wanted to reach out and pull it, but Xia Li didn't let it, she put her ears on it and listened carefully, afraid that the eldest aunt was coming back at this time, and it would definitely startle the snake.

When she heard no sound inside, she asked Chu Ye to stay away and then stretched out her hand.

Both of them have experience, needless to say, Xia Li's previous work gave her endless experience, and Chu Ye couldn't guess how this person knew these things, could it be that because he was the second prince and had experienced a lot of things, did he know?

Xia Li took off his face towel and asked Chu Ye to tie it to the ring above and then drag it, afraid that if a dark sword or something shot out, he would be able to dodge his body.

Chu Ye saw that the two of them were standing far away, and they were almost ready, so they pulled hard.

I thought I would find a harsh sound, but it turned out that it was unexpectedly not, until the position of the inner pull ring came out to be the size of a finger, and I saw that the offering table under the Buddha statue moved.

Xia Li and Chu Ye, the two of them stared at the offering table and moved away as the table was pulled out of the ring, and the two of them quickly jumped to the back of the house, waiting for the half-pillar incense uniform, and did not see anything abnormal, and the two of them approached one after another.

I saw that all the small offering tables were moved to the side, and a large black hole was exposed in the back.

Xia Li and Chu Ye looked at each other, and when they heard that there was no movement outside the window, the two decided to go inside to check it out.

Chu Ye automatically walked in front, and Xia Li followed.

It was dark in the secret passage, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Although both of them could see in the dark night, in order to see more clearly, they deliberately lit a fire, and saw that there were torches hanging not far from both sides of the wall, so they took one and lit it.

Xia Li saw that the walls of this secret passage were inlaid with white marble, and even the ground was covered with a thick velvet blanket, or how could she feel that she stepped on it softly, and she couldn't make any sound, it seems that the people who come and go through the secret passage are either rich or expensive, and you can see it by looking at the decoration inside.

She said as she walked: "This place is not like a secret passage, it is a bit like going to some high-end courtyard."

Chu Ye nodded, "It's really not easy for your eldest aunt to get acquainted with such a character."

When Xia Li heard this, he remembered the scene of Li Honglian's secret meeting with others when the two of them came here last time, if the two of them entered the house that day, would they be able to know who this person was? And it is very doubtful that the other side of the secret passage is the man that Li Honglian came and went.

Thinking that this person was her mother in her previous life, I suddenly felt a sense of repercussions in my heart.

What kind of person is this mother of hers, marrying a husband who is above 10,000 people under one person, but she still has to cheat behind her back.

I don't know why I abandoned my daughter.

Xia Li couldn't figure it out.

Thinking that he was distracted, his nose didn't hit Chu Ye's back sadly.

"Ahh It hurts" she stopped and softened her little nose, she was really careless, she was so distracted that she walked like this, if there is an enemy around her, her fate will be gone at this moment.

Chu Ye felt the softness of his back being hit, and hurriedly stopped: "What do you think!" It's so distracted! ”、

Xia Li said honestly: "I'm thinking about my eldest aunt, how can this person be so mysterious, as if there are many ulterior secrets"

Chu Ye said there: "As far as I know, your eldest aunt is the only daughter in the family, and she is very much loved by the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and she has been teaching her four books and five classics since she was a child, and the emperor has studied together, and the world is a rare strange woman in contemporary times."

Xia Li didn't believe it, and said with a pout: "I don't believe it, if she is a strange woman, then what has become of me, then I am a strange woman!" ”

Chu Ye was a little amused when he heard this, and said: "It's just a legend of the people, I also feel that everyone exaggerated it, or someone may have deliberately spread her reputation."

Xia Li nodded, this is about the same.

The two walked not far from the secret passage, Xia Li took a closer look and said, "I want to find something, you help me find it, it may be a roll of paper or something."

"Good," Chu Ye replied.

After the words, the two of them slowed down a little, because they were looking for something, not as fast as they had just come in and walked.

When the two of them walked three or four feet away, Xia Li and Chu Ye saw that there was a small dining table in front of them, with a whole set of teapots on it, Xia Li stepped forward and touched it curiously, and found that there was still half a pot of warm tea inside, which could be drunk immediately.

The two looked at each other, thinking that Li Honglian would really enjoy it, and there was tea to drink when she walked through a secret passage.

Xia Li looked around the table with curiosity, and found that there was a large gap that was not very obvious but could be found if you looked closely.

She called out, "Chu Ye, look"

Chu Ye responded to the call, looked at it and did it with his hands, and there was a sound of air inside.

The two of them suspected that this place must also be a grid, maybe there was some secret, so they groped the wall with their hands to find this switch, since there is a hidden grid, there must be a switch.

But the two of them groped and found nothing.

Xia Li didn't know what was inside and couldn't give up, it was very likely that it was the secret order that the man in black asked her to find.

The two of them sat at the tea table and kept thinking about it, and they didn't move this or that in their hands, until Xia Li suddenly moved under the table, she felt a bulge below and pressed it unconsciously, and saw that the dark pavilion on the wall finally jumped open.

There was a bright yellow scroll lying inside.

Xia Li and Chu Ye looked at each other, afraid that something would not dare to reach out for it.

But at this moment, both of them heard faint footsteps.

Xia Li and Chu Ye quickly looked at each other, at this time, they couldn't allow the two of them to think so much, Xia Li quickly picked up the bright and yellow scroll in the dark pavilion, and pressed An back again, and the two of them quickly walked towards the hole when they came in.

At this time, the torch was also extinguished by Chu Ye, for fear of being discovered by someone who came.

Xia Li listened to the footsteps behind him, not like a person who knew martial arts, and guessed that it must be the eldest aunt.

When the two of them went out of the secret door and arrived at Li Honglian's house, they hurriedly closed the offering table under the Buddha statue, which was the same as when they came, and the two jumped out of the window and hid under the window.
