Outside the high walls of the princely beaver mansion.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Honglian only flickered through the wall and entered, she had already obtained the drawings here in advance, fortunately, although this mansion was large, the building structure was not too complicated. Her movements were as fast and light as a midsummer breeze, and even when it came on, it was extremely difficult to detect her presence.

She made a cursory search of the first courtyard, and with her instinct that the entrance to the secret passage was not in this place, she continued deeper into the hall, then wandered for a moment in the second courtyard, which was covered with green bamboo, and then focused her attention on the room in the cloister. She searched one by one along the cloisters, and one room caught her attention first.

The door to that room was locked, and the windows were sealed. She tried to enter through the wall, which appeared to be a utility room, but actually had a mezzanine hidden in the wall facing the door. Red Lotus happily entered another space behind the mezzanine, only to find that it was actually the treasure pavilion of the prince and the beaver civet, in addition to piling up gold, silver and jewelry, there were many precious medicinal materials, any of which could be described as priceless.

She couldn't guess why the prince had a penchant for collecting expensive medicinal herbs, but it turned out that her guess was wrong, and she had to start all over again to find the entrance to the secret passage. She left the Treasure Pavilion and searched for the back room.

There was another room that piqued her interest, and this room was adjacent to the one of the princely and beneoner, but the furnishings of the room were much more elaborate than that of the prince himself, and in addition to luxury, it was also very comfortable, and it was evident that the man who furnished it was very careful.

The red lotus quietly entered through the wall, the room was divided into two spaces by curtains, the place where the door was just entered was similar to the study, the rosewood furniture exuded a burst of fragrance, and there were not many books on the shelves, but most of them were occupied by all kinds of interesting things, such as ghost chess, as well as the dice in the world, playing cards and mahjong, in addition to some small figures carved from wood.

At this time, the curtain was hanging down, so Honglian was not sure if there was anyone behind it. She listened carefully through the curtains, and seeing that she didn't catch even the slightest breathing, she lifted the curtain and entered the bedroom area. The furnishings are much simpler than the outside, with only a round table, a chair and a delicately carved wooden bed.

Honglian vigilantly touched the lamp on the table and found that there was still residual heat on it, which means that there was still someone in this room not long ago, will that person return to this room at any time? And to live and say that he is still hidden somewhere in the house? She was very energetic, looking for possible entrances to secret passages, but also on the lookout for enemies that might appear at any time.

She had tried to tap every corner of the floor, but there was no echo there, and just as she was about to give up the room, the carved wooden bed came into view. The satin quilt on the bed is reflected by the bright moon outside the window, which makes it difficult to take your eyes off it.

Red Lotus felt along the edge of the bed and the corners with experience, and finally felt a raised mechanism, and with just a light press, the bed began to flip, revealing the secret entrance below. She jumped into the secret passage and released a cloud of ghostly fire, first down a slope and then into a flat area. She planned to leave directly from the other end of the secret passage, which would also confirm that the secret passage did indeed lead to somewhere outside the royal city.

After walking for a while, she heard footsteps, she stopped to carefully discern them, and found that the footsteps were actually coming towards her, and hurriedly summoned her two dragon head iron whips, ready to meet at any time. A tall, lanky man soon appeared across from her, a young man with a delicate appearance, dressed in a light pale green shirt.

Red Lotus was sure that this was a completely unfamiliar face, so she asked, "Who are you?!" ”

The man seemed to have a smile on his face, and asked her, "That person who casually broke into someone else's house is obviously you, why did you ask me first?!" ”

"Since you appear in this secret passage, it means that there must be a connection between you and Qingyun, and I don't have to talk nonsense with you!" Red Lotus raised the weapon in her hand and made a posture ready to attack at any time.

"Don't you even give time to give your name? It's really worthy of being the demon king fox's subordinates, and it's the same rudeness at all times! ”

After the man finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and the demon fire that Red Lotus had thrown out earlier was suddenly sucked into his palm, and he shook his hand, and the entire secret passage instantly darkened. Before the red lotus could react, a fishy sweet smell came, and she exclaimed, "It's not good, it's poisonous!" ”

Then she felt dizzy, and had to barely resist the influx of poison gas with her own strength, and retreated at the same time. She was even in a little trance, and her reaction slowed down, and she didn't even feel the hidden weapon released by the other party. In the process of retreating, she was connected with several steel needles on her body, which also seemed to contain highly poisonous, and she began to weaken her legs after only a few steps.

Just when she thought she was going to die this time, a big hand grabbed her tightly and led him out of the secret passage, but she didn't even have the strength to see the benefactor who had saved her life, and she just breathed in a breath of fresh air outside the secret passage, and she passed out.

When he woke up again, it was Chang Feng in front of him, and when he saw her open her eyes, he sighed deeply and said, "You finally woke up, do you know how long you have been in a coma?" ”

Red Lotus shook her head weakly.

"For three whole days, what kind of poison would have such a big effect on you?!" Changfeng asked with a frown.

It was not unreasonable for him to ask like this, as a ghost clan, Red Lotus's reaction to poison was much lower than that of demons, and ordinary toxins would at most produce a slight tingling sensation similar to drinking a small glass of wine, and it was not easy to poison her.

"Secret Passage...... I know! Red Lotus insisted on saying a few words.

"Really?! It seems that there really is a secret passage in the palace of the prince and the raccoon. ”

"You...... Let's go first...... I will inform Momiji-sama! Red Lotus urged.

"Okay, where is the entrance to the secret passage?"

"In ......"

Before Honglian's words could be spoken, Ouyang Hongye walked in from outside the door. He was shocked to learn that she had been poisoned, because Red Lotus had always been good at hiding her whereabouts, and her combat effectiveness was also good, and the person who could subdue her must be very capable. But in fact, Honglian knew in her heart that the person who seriously injured her was deliberately hiding in the secret passage and waiting for her, he was very familiar with the secret passage, and he was decisive in his move, so he would take the lead.

Seeing Ouyang Hongye coming in, Honglian wanted to insist on supporting her body from the bed, but he stopped her, he gently pressed her and said, "Lie down!" No need to salute! ”

"Lord Momiji, Red Lotus said she found the secret passage!" Chang Feng hurriedly reported to Ouyang Hongye.

"Sure enough......" Ouyang Hongye nodded and replied thoughtfully.

At this time, Honglian's strength recovered a little, she took a few sips of water with the help of Chang Feng, and then told Ouyang Hongye what she had experienced after entering the princely and beneon mansion at an extremely slow speed.

"You're saying someone rescued you from the secret passage?" Ouyang Hongye asked with some incredulity.

"Exactly!" Red Lotus replied softly.

"You don't see this man's face? What about the sound? Did he talk to you? Ouyang Hongye asked.

"No, it's really dark in the secret passage, and as soon as I left the secret passage, I fell into a coma."

"Well, since this person appeared in the palace of the prince and the benecess, and knew the location of the secret passage, it means that he must have something to do with the whole thing. Now that we have confirmed that the entrance to the secret passage does exist in the palace of the prince and the benecess, then we are equivalent to mastering a trump card, and I will immediately go to the demon king fox and the two elders, and discuss with them the next countermeasures. Red Lotus, you have a good rest, this time it's really hard for you! ”

Ouyang Hongye said goodbye to Red Lotus and Changfeng, and while rushing to Chenji Palace, he thought about how to deal with this matter. The second elder lion Wang Cheng and the prince and the raccoon dog have always had a good relationship, which will definitely put him in an embarrassing situation, and the fact that another important prince is confirmed to be a traitor will also have an impact on Ouyang Xiaoleng's newly stabilized royal power, all of which he has to consider.

In the palace of the prince and the royal raccoon, Lan Ruoqing's son Lan Zhu was standing alone among the green bamboos, as if waiting for someone, and soon after, a tall figure appeared behind him.

"Father-in-law, you're here!" Lan Zhu looked back and said with a smile.

His eyes still look the same as when he was a child, so innocent, it is difficult to associate him with the one who almost killed the demon king fox in a few simple moves in the secret passage just now.

"Why did you kill that woman just now?!" The prince asked.

"She has found the secret passage, if you let her go back, she will definitely report you to the Demon King Fox!" Lan Zhu defended himself.

"Your illness has been cured, I don't have any worries, just let her report me, you and I both know that sooner or later there will be this day!" The prince put his palm on Lan Zhu's shoulder and said that although he had finally gotten rid of his stubborn disease, he was still very thin.

"I will not let you be called a traitor, and as long as I breathe a breath, I will protect your reputation and safety." There was anger in Lan Zhu's tone.

"Are you really doing this for me?! Or ......" the prince and the raccoon we're puzzled.

"Father-in-law, are you suspicious of Zhu'er?"

"No...... You're still young, I just hope you can put down all those hatreds and live happily! Even if I am caught, I will plead with the Demon King Fox and the Second Elder Lion King Cheng to spare your mother and son, and I will leave everything I have to you! ”

"If you're gone, I won't want any of this money! I will never forgive those people in the royal city, how they hastily got rid of my father, who was loyal to the royal city, and how you want me to let go of the revenge of killing my father. If they even ...... you Then I will be even more incompatible with them! ”
