Chapter 677: The Underground Palace
Qin Zeng thought for a moment and stopped, and said, "Lord Guo used to go to that shop often?" ”
"Go often! Naturally, I often went, at that time, our family opened a pen and ink shop, and I often went to get paper and pen to use. ”
"Then Lord Guo, have you ever found out what kind of secret room mechanism there is in this shop?"
"Huh?" Guo Chongli was a little confused, "Secret room? Organ? ”
Qin Zeng looked at him, obviously Guo Chongli didn't know what secrets that shop had from beginning to end, otherwise he wouldn't have asked at all at this time.
He was just about to leave, Guo Chongli suddenly said: "When my lord asks like this, I have some clues!" ”
Qin Zeng was surprised, "What clue?" ”
Guo Chongli wrinkled his nose, "Changpingfang originally had a drama garden called Dongchun Building, and that shop is just across the alley, I thought it was very interesting to beat gongs and drums when I was twelve or thirteen years old, and often ran in to play secretly with my father behind my back, and once it was particularly unlucky, the backyard of Dongchun Building collapsed, I didn't pay attention, I fell into the hole all of a sudden, fell into the hole, and got up to see, the pit was quite deep, like an old well filled. ”
Guo Chongli had a loose temperament when he was young, even if he is old now, he is not stable, and he often does perverse things, otherwise he would not have helped Wei Laner to make secret weapons.
So when he said this, Qin Zeng didn't feel disobedient, and asked, "Then why do you think this place has something to do with what I asked you?" ”
Guo Chongli sighed, "Because there is another passage at the bottom of the well, which is quite deep, and the direction that extends out is the direction of the shop, so as soon as the adults talk about the secret room, I subconsciously feel that it has something to do with this place!" ”
He patted his head in annoyance, "At that time, I fell on the side of it, and it was so bad that I was black and black, and my heart was inevitably a little hairy, so I didn't dare to go inside, thinking that one day I would lead a few people to come and explore again, but when I went back two days later, the place had been filled." I always regret that I didn't go inside, and now when I walk down that street, I still think of the hole from time to time, and wonder what secrets are hidden in it! Sometimes that heart-scratching energy comes up, and I can't wait to dig that hole in again to see! ”
Qin Zeng groaned when he heard this, and when he raised his eyes, Guo Chongli was looking at him expectantly.
Qin Zeng was a little speechless, this rammer obviously wanted to let himself dig a hole, so he took the opportunity to get a glimpse of the secret and settle the regret in his heart.
But now that he has a clue, he naturally can't let it go.
"Then please ask Lord Guo to show me the way."
Guo Chongli was immediately happy when he heard this, "Lord Qin, please!" ”
He asked Mrs. Guo to talk to him, and he followed Qin Zeng out of the house.
Qin Zeng smiled secretly, and when Guo Shilang knew about it, he heard that he was involved in this matter indiscriminately, and he would definitely be beaten up again.
However, it is better for the Guo family to get close to him than to be deceived by Wei Shicheng and Xu Xiang.
The Dongchun Building of that year was a very famous troupe, and it became popular with many famous actors, but the old people always had to be replaced by the newcomers.
At the beginning, Lin Ji made a bad mistake and let the little pink butterfly "defile" Song Yang, which was in Fuqu Pavilion.
Qin Zeng took Guo Chongli directly over the wall and entered the backyard of the Fuqu Pavilion, "Lord Guo, can you still remember that location?" ”
Guo Chongli is a native of Beijing, and he is extremely familiar with every street and alley, he looked around and said: "This place was not so big before, and the owner of Fuqu Pavilion should have bought the courtyard next to the original Dongchun Building, but the old locust tree is still there." ”
In late autumn, the leaves of the old locust tree are already yellow, and a lot of fallen leaves have accumulated under the tree, and a stone table and stone bench are also placed, which is not interesting.
Guo Chongli pointed to the tree and said, "The cave is not far from this tree, and there was still a broken root at the entrance of the cave at that time, I remember it very clearly!" ”
As he spoke, he drew a range for Qin Zengbi.
Qin Zeng beckoned to the people who brought him, and only said one word, "Dig." ”
*****
Li Qingyi's master and servant finally broke the mechanism and came down from the ice room, and when they arrived at a larger stone room, a pool full of unknown black water appeared in front of them, and the three of them were hesitating to step on the stone bridge, when there was a sudden rumbling sound of a boulder moving overhead.
Chang Yan Changning hurriedly protected Li Qingyi behind him.
Li Qingyi looked at their injuries and was a little worried.
Although they were all flesh wounds, they also shed a lot of blood, and they had just tossed around in the ice room for a long time, and they had consumed some physical strength, so it was definitely not appropriate to do anything with people at the moment.
She stared at the place where the voice came from overhead, and her heart trembled a little, the exit of the ice cellar was not overhead, but at the foot, and now the exit of this larger and deeper stone chamber was overhead! And listening to this voice, the door above is at least ten feet away from the ground.
How big is this place, is it really the former underground palace?
Li Qingyi looked up at the top and said in a low voice: "Although we can't see the people above, the other party should be able to see us." ”
They are now like crickets in each other's bamboo pots.
Without a ladder, they wouldn't have had any way up there!
After a few moments, the sound of the stones grinding finally stopped, and with a bang, an iron cable descended from the hole overhead.
Changning stepped forward to block in front of her, Li Qingyi signaled her to be calm, she was more useful alive than she died, and a person like the Lin clan would not kill her in vain.
However, the person who came down was not the Lin family, but Gongsun Yi.
Li Qingyi stood in place, staring at his expression carefully.
Gongsun Yi didn't come over, but stood at a distance from her, and said, "Mother won't kill you now, but she won't keep your life for too long, unless, you choose to be on our side." ”
Li Qingyi remained silent, "For you, in addition to using it to threaten Qin Zeng and threaten the Li Mansion, what other uses do I have?" ”
Gongsun Yi seemed to know that she would not let go easily, "The master said, you are the same as him." ”
Li Qingyi's heart sank.
She had guessed that the person behind the Lin family was reborn, and the other party should have also noticed her abnormality, and now Gongsun Yi said this, I don't know if he was testing her.
"I didn't understand what you said, can you explain?"
Gongsun Yi smiled, "We don't need to do Tai Chi, I can tell the truth." ”
Li Qingyi frowned and looked at him silently.
Gongsun Yi didn't receive Li Qingyi's friendly feedback, and gradually withdrew his smile, "I don't know where you are similar to your master, but I guess it should be related to the double life person that Master Zhenzhen said." Therefore, if you do not stand on our side, you will only die, and the master will not leave a calamity that can threaten him in the world at any time. ”
Li Qingyi's dark eyes reflected the trembling flames on the wall like fire snakes, and she asked tentatively: "If I want to stand on your side, what good will it do me?" ”
When Gongsun Yi heard this, the smile returned to his eyes, "You and my ancestors are both people of the Yan Kingdom, and you and I are both the people of the Yan Kingdom." ”
Li Qingyi also smiled when he heard this, "Even I can see your ambitious schemes, can't the emperor see it?" In such a complex situation, can it really be clear who is using whom and who is whose pawn? Perhaps, you are now someone else's meal without knowing it. ”
"It seems that your body and mind are on Qin Zeng's body, and I wish we could be his meal." Gongsun Yi smiled coldly, strode forward and tore Changning away from Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi's face changed, and he subconsciously stepped back.
Gongsun Yi forced his eyes to look at her, "Qin Zeng didn't tell you everything he knew, do you think that you can earn his trust by delivering wholeheartedly?" He is scheming and even more emperor, and he is definitely not Lord Qin in your eyes! ”
Li Qingyi looked at him, trying his best to contain his mind, and his face deliberately showed a hint of collapse, "Since you know him so well, you should understand that I may not be that important to Qin Zeng, but I am just an insignificant person." It's simply not enough to threaten him. ”
Gongsun Yi didn't believe what she said at all, just as she didn't believe Gongsun Yi's words, "It seems that you are trying to defend him." ”
Li Qingyi was noncommittal.
Changning Changyi kept a close eye on Gongsun Yi's movements, for fear that he would be unfavorable to Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi felt the nervousness of the two of them, glanced at them, and asked them not to act rashly.
Gongsun Yi didn't do anything, just stared at Li Qingyi for a moment and said, "Follow me up." ”
Changning immediately said: "We're going too!" ”
Gongsun didn't care, the thick black and shiny iron chain hung straight down, he reached out and grabbed Li Qingyi's arm, his toes climbed into the gap of the chain, and he went up, and he landed at the entrance of the cave in a few steps.
Changning Chang Yan was injured, and his internal force was suppressed, and it was a little difficult to come up, but Gongsun Yi didn't urge, and waited patiently for them to climb up.
The rumbling of stones rubbing against the mouth of the cave came again,
Li Qingyi watched the entrance of the cave close again, cautiously discerning the surrounding environment, trying to write down the surrounding arrangement, Gongsun said absentmindedly: "It's useless, in the underground palace, I don't know how many such stone rooms." ”
Underground Palace.
Although Li Qingyi had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard these two words coming out of Gongsun Yi's mouth.
"Is this really the former dungeon?"
Gongsun Yi smiled, "The kingdom is not dead, what is the previous dynasty?" ”
Li Qingyi was silent, in the eyes of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom was not destroyed, it was only temporarily classified as Chongnan and Dajing.
The three of them followed Gongsun Yi for a long time, and a passage appeared in front of them.
Gongsun Yi stepped forward, stretched out his hand and probed left and right on the wall, obviously he didn't see any complicated and subtle movements, and he actually triggered the mechanism.
A relatively thin stone wall slid inside, and Li Qingyi followed Gongsun Yi sideways.
