Chapter 205: Secret Room 2
After all, many of the poisons that King Yue asked him to take were blood and sealed his throat, but he was afraid that before anyone could send it to him for treatment, he would already be dead, so it was better to watch it under his nose.
"I'm a doctor, I can save you if you're injured."
Ah Ling obviously only wants to save Zhao Chengxi.
Zhao Chengxi pondered for a moment, agreed, and instructed: "Chang Yi, you have to protect him." ”
"Subordinates obey."
A group of five people walked inside.
A little further into the secret room, there is the wall.
"It seems that there are only four rooms on the left and right sides of this secret room." Zhao Chengxi shook his head, quite disappointed.
"No," Qin Chongzhou analyzed, "The length of the secret passage is more than the length of the room, there is no need to make such a thick wall here, there should be space on both sides of the secret passage." ”
Zhao Chengxi understood, knocked east and west on one of the walls of the secret passage, and then his eyes lit up: "This place is empty, look for the mechanism." ”
"There is no decoration here except for the candlestick, could it be a candlestick?" Qin Yan said that he was about to reach out and grope.
Ah Ling's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.
"Let me try, I haven't turned on the mechanism yet." Zhao Chengxi rubbed his hands curiously.
When Qin Yan heard this, he retreated.
"Bi Xi, don't touch it, it's poisonous."
Zhao Chengxi was so frightened that he retracted his hand and looked back at Ah Ling: "Ah Ling, how do you know?" ”
Ah Ling said in a flat tone: "The candle flame is glowing with blue light, and there is a faint fragrance, and the candle should be added with corpse oil." ”
Zhao Chengxi was so frightened that he covered his nose: "Is it poisonous?" ”
"The smell is non-toxic, contact will make the skin ulcerate, if not removed in time, poison into the texture, there is no cure."
When Qin Yan heard this, his heart could be described as galloping: "Why didn't you tell me just now!" ”
Ah Ling glanced at Qin Yan coldly: "I don't know you." ”
Seeing this situation, Zhao Chengxi hurriedly spoke out: "Qin Yan, aren't you fine, calm down." ”
Qin Yan had to reluctantly suppress his anger.
"Ah Ling, you are too powerful!" Zhao Chengxi began to rejoice that Ah Ling also followed up, "Then do you know where the agency is?" ”
"I don't know."
Qin Yan sneered in retaliation.
What Ah Ling didn't say was that he could see that this poison was not because he was powerful, but because he made it. The corpse oil he refined from the corpses that had died of poison was so poisonous that it festered as soon as it touched his skin.
Qin Chongzhou's guard in his heart was a little less, not to mention anything else, this Mr. Ling was at least sincere to His Majesty.
If Qin Yan knew Qin Chongzhou's thoughts, he would be unbalanced in his heart: Isn't there a place for me as the number one follower in Hou Ye's heart?
Qin Chongzhou looked around, there were only a few candlesticks on the wall, wait, that candlestick......
Qin Chongzhou walked a few steps to a candlestick and asked, "Mr. Ling, this candle flame is normal in color, but it is poisonous?" ”
"Non-toxic."
After getting Ah Ling's affirmation, Qin Chongzhou was just about to get started, but Qin Yan stopped him: "Let's let my subordinates come down." ”
"It's okay, I trust Mr. Ling." Qin Chongzhou groped for a while, pulled down hard, and a wall slowly moved open.
Behind the wall is not a secret room, but a staircase that descends, and the staircase is so narrow that only one person can pass through, and it is impossible to see the bottom at a glance.
"Let's go." Zhao Chengxi said.
Qin Yan opened the road first, followed by Qin Chongzhou, Zhao Chengxi, Ah Ling, and Chang Yihou.
The secret passage was winding, and the group walked for a long time, but there was still no end in sight.
"If we go any further, we're just afraid we're going to get out of the city."
"I think this is a secret way out of the city." Qin Chongzhou speculated.
Sure enough, the exit was in a hidden cave outside the city.
"It seems that King Yue should often use this secret passage to go out of the city."
Zhao Chengxi asked, "Then why didn't he use this secret passage when he went out of the city this time?" ”
Qin Chongzhou's face was solemn: "I'm afraid that it will be made public, and he will participate in the seizure of the throne openly." ”
"Master, there are traces of military training here." Qin Yandao, who came back from probing around.
"It seems that training soldiers privately has been planned for a long time." Zhao Chengxi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Let's go back." Qin Chongzhou took Zhao Chengxi's hand and walked back.
"When we go out of the city, we can take this road, which saves trouble." Zhao Chengxi smiled, easing his mood.
"Xi'er is right." Qin Chongzhou echoed.
Zhao Chengxi guessed: "There should be a secret room behind the other wall, could it be a secret passage again?" ”
The group returned to the original point and continued to look for the mechanism.
After everyone searched and searched, they didn't find it, and they were slightly discouraged.
Qin Chongzhou's sharp gaze swept the surroundings again, walked to the previous candlestick again, and groped again.
Suddenly, the corners of Qin Chongzhou's mouth raised, and his big hand lifted the candlestick up forcefully, and the other wall finally revealed its true face.
A dual-purpose mechanism is really economical and easy to ignore. Even if someone discovers a secret passage, it is easy to form a blind spot and will not study the mechanism that has already been used.
The corners of Zhao Chengxi's mouth twitched: "This time I won't go directly to Jingling City." ”
That's right, it's a secret passage downward.
This passage was much shorter than the other and soon came to an end.
"Another wall? Empty, I guess. Zhao Chengxi stepped forward directly and knocked on it, only to hear a few clicks, and several small tubes stretched out from the walls on both sides, emitting white smoke straight out.
Qin Chongzhou was the first to react, took Zhao Chengxi behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Cover your mouth and nose!" ”
Everyone was a little panicked, the ventilation here was not good, the poisonous smoke could not disperse, and everyone would soon be poisoned.
Chang Yi was worried about Zhao Chengxi and said, "Master, let's go out first." ”
Zhao Chengxi just wanted to agree, but saw Ah Ling calm as usual, and there were a few pills in his hand stretched out: "It's okay if you eat it." ”
Several people quickly took it, and the original dizziness disappeared.
"Ah Ling, have you eaten?" Zhao Chengxi asked.
Ah Ling thought to himself, this bit of poison is useless to me, but he still nodded and replied, "I ate it." ”
Qin Chongzhou had a question in his heart: How could he have an antidote so just now?
"Let's find the mechanism as soon as possible." Ah Ling said, "It's useless to stay any longer." ”
Qin Chongzhou groped on the wall again, if I were the king of Yue, where would I install the mechanism?
It was a dual-purpose trap just now, but will this trap be near the trap?
The position of the trap is to use people's habitual thinking and place it in the middle, is the mechanism that opens the door there?
Qin Chongzhou began to grope around the corner of the wall, and sure enough, with a hard press on the lower right corner of the wall, the wall began to move slowly upward.
After everyone quickly dodged through, the wall slowly lowered again.
The furnishings of this secret room are more like a study, and Zhao Chengxi walked to the shelf next to the desk.
Why does this vase look familiar?
Zhao Chengxi's face darkened: "The best in the official kiln last year, the enamel color inlaid with gold peony bottle." ”
Zhao Chengxi's eyes swept away, and there was another one on the other side, and his face was even darker: "I only have one ......"
