Tut-tut......

Night Terror Hall saw a row of small yellow books, it was really unexpected, if it wasn't for official business, he just raised his hand and picked it up to read.

He swept away the distracting thoughts, turned around and continued to look for clues, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned around, carefully checked the "Secret History of Cleopatra", and found that the book was not placed straight, it seemed that he had only read it recently, and put it down casually.

Seeing this, Night Terror carefully picked up the book and felt it with his fingers sliding slightly over the side of the book.

If the book is often opened and read, and a certain page is often read, it will be easier to turn to that page because of the creases in the binding over time.

Night Terror Hall has been holding a book of chivalrous tears and reading it repeatedly for many years, and he is also an old bookworm, so he has a deep understanding of this.

Carefully rubbing the side of the book, I soon found that there was indeed a page in the book, which was different from other pages, and I opened it and looked at it - it was written that a certain queen mother dug a tunnel out of the palace and had an affair with the prince, and then took poison and faked his death, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the prince quietly dug a tunnel into the imperial mausoleum and took the queen mother away......

This prince of Wu, doesn't he have fantasies about the Queen Mother?

Night Terror Hall subconsciously analyzes Shizi's sexual fetishes, but it's wrong to think about it.

He has studied "Tears of a Chivalrous Woman" for many years, and he knows far more clearly than any headcatcher in the world about what plot should be ten lines at a glance and what plot should be remembered word by word.

The two pages marked do not have a meat scene, but the details of digging tunnels into the imperial tomb are written in great detail, such as 'how to break the stone without alarming the guards, tunnel collapse prevention facilities, ventilation facilities', etc., I feel that it is not fabricated by the author out of thin air, there is a sense of selling knowledge, and it looks like a construction expert.

Turn the book to the first page, and you can see the author's introduction - it is speculated that it was an official two hundred years ago, who was an official to the Ministry of Works, responsible for the renovation of Yun'an City, and then offended the Empress Dowager Yan, was demoted, and was indignant, and secretly wrote such a book.

Sure enough......

Seeing that his judgment was correct, Night Terror looked through other descriptions of the environment and found that the description of the streets of the city in the book was very realistic.

Yun'an City is a thousand-year-old ancient capital, although it has been expanded and rebuilt several times, but the location has not changed much, the Wende Bridge on the book is now the Wende Bridge, and even mentioned a mouth of dyeing street.

After getting these news, Night Terror naturally had a guess in his mind.

When Wang Wu read this book, he obviously did not have fantasies about the Queen Mother, but used it as a tool book.

Staying on this page for a long time, it seems that there is only one possibility - I want to learn how to dig tunnels into the imperial tomb.

It is a bit far-fetched to say that the prince of Wu is secretly a captain who touches gold, and the tomb of Emperor Yan and the tomb of Emperor Wei are not in the same place at all, and the specifications of the tomb will not be the same, what is the use of him digging the tomb of Emperor Yan?

After thinking about it carefully, Night Terror Hall wrote down clues such as 'tunnel, imperial tomb', put the book back in its place, and looked for other information in the study.

It's a pity that except for a history of the Queen Mother, everything else is normal.

After the search of the Night Terror Hall was fruitless, he checked the ornaments in the study, living room, and bedroom to look for possible hidden compartments.

Although Night Terror Hall does not have the talent of a wingless owl as a thief, its insight is quite outstanding.

After arriving at the bedroom, he observed the various furnishings in the room, speculated on the daily habits of the owner, and finally half-squatted, felt the smoothness of the wooden floor with his hands, and finally looked at the cabinet on the side of the large bedroom.

The cabinet looks like an ordinary wardrobe, but the prince of the dignified domain usually does not change his clothes, and the things he wears daily should be placed in the inner chamber, and it stands to reason that he should not go there often.

Night Terror stood up, walked silently to the cabinet, observed the smoothness of the handle, and found that it was indeed opened often, so he carefully opened the cabinet door.

The spacious cabinet is empty, and there is no partition, most likely a secret door, with a finger tap, making a slight muffled sound of 'dong ~', and the back is solid.

Seeing this, Night Terror looked at the wooden plank under the cabinet......

——

Earlier, under the study.

A few lamps were placed in the four corners of the chamber, and in the middle was a table with piles of files on it.

Around the table, there are six chairs, and Cao Aning is sitting at the table, holding a bamboo hard pen with an ink groove similar to a fountain pen, and is carefully drawing drawings on the paper.

Xu Bailin, the green steel gong, sat opposite, looking at the old drawings in his hand, his brows furrowed.

In addition to them, there were three other people sitting in the secret room.

A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament flipped through the old file on Cao Aning's side.

This person's name is Nangong Shaofeng, known as 'Young Master' by the people of the rivers and lakes, and he is the staff of Wu Wangfu, teaching the prince Dongfang Yin's literary and martial arts, and the name of the young master also comes from this;

Opposite Nangong Shaofeng, there was an old man, holding a silver needle, conditioning Xu Bailin's injured right leg.

On the main seat of the table, there was an old man in a white robe, who looked very old and thin, and took a sip of a teacup.

Although the five of them are all strong in martial arts, when they sit in the room, there is still a significant gap in their gas.

Among Cao Aning and Lao Lang, their martial arts are relatively inferior, and they seem to have a good bearing.

Xu Bailin is like a man, although she has no blade, she can feel the hardness in her bones.

Nangong Shaofeng on the opposite side, his gestures were like clouds and water, and even his breathing had a unique rhythm.

The white-robed old man on the main seat was in a different situation, looking unremarkable, where to sit, it seemed to be an ornament in the room, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he couldn't even notice that there was a person in the chair.

can present this kind of gas, which shows that the practice of martial arts has reached the state of 'unity of heaven and man', every gesture is a move, and sitting, standing, lying and relying are flawless.

The five people here are all staff members recruited by King Wu, and they are carrying out a big thing of 'setting things right', but since the appearance of the Night Terror Hall, things have obviously fallen into a bottleneck.

After studying the old drawings for a while, Xu Bailin said:

"The last time I asked for the news from Zhuji Street, I can only determine the black rattan bricks used for the foundation, and I can't determine the direction of the columns.

Cao Aning put down the bamboo hard pen and sighed:

"The night terror hall is like a god, and the last turmoil has not passed, so I really don't dare to act rashly."

Nangong Shaofeng asked: "Last time, your plan to kill people with a knife led the attention of the Night Terrors, and there seemed to be no movement. ”

Cao Aning thought for a while: "Junshantai will definitely make a move, according to the recent situation in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that Junshantai will also use a knife to kill people and use the Zhou family as a knife." ”

Xu Bailin shook her head and said: "The Zhou family is not stupid, revenge is a taboo in the imperial court, and only by killing Ye Shilang can we keep the family business." This borrowed knife to kill, borrowed and borrowed, is equivalent to sending Junshantai a piece of news for nothing, and he didn't catch anything. ”

Cao Aning said: "If the Zhou family doesn't do anything, Junshantai will definitely find another way, and it is impossible to sit still." But the water from afar can't quench the thirst of the near, and the night terror hall will not move, so I don't dare to go to the city to find the officials of the Ministry of Industry to inquire about it......"

While several people were talking, the white-robed old man sitting in the first place, holding the teacup with his hand slightly raised, interrupted the conversation, and then raised his eyes to look at the ceiling.

The four of them were all silent, raised their heads and listened carefully, but they didn't find any movement, but they didn't ask questions, just looked at the white-robed old man.

The white-robed old man put down the teacup, his gaze moved on the ceiling, it seemed that he was staring at a person, he first went to the bookshelf position, stayed for a moment and began to move again.

When the four of them saw this, they knew that there was someone in the study, and they couldn't hear the footsteps upstairs, indicating that the person who came was doing a good job.

Cao Aning looked at Nangong Shaofeng beside him and asked in a low voice:

"The snitch who infiltrated the palace to steal?"

Nangong Shaofeng pondered slightly: "Wealthy families often enter snitches, and the wingless owl came last time. There are no important objects in the study, just let him take it casually, and don't expose it. ”

The four of them waited for a moment, and then saw the old man's gaze move and look at the stairs at the entrance of the secret room.

Boom~

A soft knock on the cabinet sounded from inside the tunnel leading into the chamber.

Nangong Shaofeng frowned, signaled a few people to be restless, and then got up and walked silently to the bottom of the stairs in the tunnel.

Click~

Soon, the floor of the cabinet above the tunnel was lifted, and the light shone in from above, revealing the bedroom walls and windows, but no one was visible.

？

Nangong Shaofeng did not move at all, ready to go.

It wasn't until a moment later that the hem of the black robe flashed to the left side of the entrance.

Crash~

Phew-

Nangong Shaofeng flicked his right hand, and a white chess piece, like a sharp arrow off the string, instantly nailed through the wall of the cabinet above.

The aftermath pierced the ceiling of the bedroom, revealing a pillar of light that fell from the roof.

At this moment, there was a noise in the bedroom above, and a footstep suddenly broke out, rushing to the window.

Want to go?

Nangong Shaofeng's eyes were cold, and the whole person rushed out of the wardrobe as soon as his robe flickered, and his eyes looked at the window like a falcon.

In the large bedroom, there was a man with a black scarf and a black cloth wrapped in weapons hanging from his waist, striding towards the window, his back wide open, obviously a thief who had fled because he had noticed something was wrong.

Nangong Shaofeng is the housekeeper of the palace, and he can see the light openly, so naturally he will not give the thief who found the secret passage a chance, and his figure came to the back in a flash, and his right hand reached out, wanting to clasp the other party's neck.

But as soon as the palm of his hand reached out, the figure of the man in black flickered like a ghost, dodging and handing his right hand backwards.

！！

Nangong Shaofeng's face changed suddenly, and he quickly stopped the other party's palm.

Call~

There was a fresh breeze in the bedroom, but there was no muffled sound of energy colliding.

Nangong Shaofeng leaned on the wrist of the man in black with his palm, and walked with his strength, wanting to dissolve the vast internal strength in his palm, and threw the man in black out with a momentum of four or two thousand catties.

But the man in black in front of him was not a mediocre hand, the lower plate was as steady as a rock, and his palm was stuck to his wrist like an appendage and pressed forward, and when he wanted to make a palm, he retreated at the same time, so that he seemed to catch a ball of cotton, and he didn't focus at all.

Huhuhu~

The two of them moved with their palms together, and in an instant, you pushed me three times, after all, it was Nangong Shaofeng's heels that leaned against the wall first, and there was no way to retreat, and the man in black found the point of force.

Bang –

It was at this moment that the palm power erupted between the two.

Nangong Shaofeng took a hard palm from the man in black, and the surging energy vibrated on his arm and rippled to the big arm, his sleeve robe was shattered by the energy, and his back immediately hit the wall.

Boom –

Half of the wall exploded, Nangong Shaofeng flew out of the bedroom, fell into the back garden, and slid out of the rain for more than three feet before he could unload his palm and bounce up.

And the moment the man in black made a move, he rushed out of the bedroom, flying like a swallow in the sky, and tapped on the cornice:

Bang –

The black shadow drew a right angle in the air, like a black arrow off the string, and shot at the river bank outside the palace, but it was out of the palace with two borrowings.

When the palace guards jumped on the roof, they disappeared without a trace.

"Wang-"

Outside the house, a roaring bark of dogs sounded at this time.

Nangong Shaofeng's right arm sleeve robe was shattered, standing in the rain looking at the direction of the black-clothed man's escape, he was beaten, and he didn't react to what was going on.

After the palace guards came and chased them out, there was movement in the broken room.

The white-robed old man walked out from behind the wall with his hands in his hands, looking in the direction of the riverbank, with three points of surprise in his eyes:

"Sticky Cloud Fourteen Hands...... It's a pity that the number of foreign roads taken by this son is too strong, not skillful, otherwise this palm can silently shatter your heart. ”

Sticky Yun's fourteen hands, gossip swimming palms, and even Li Mingyuan's hugging yuan, all pay attention to the silent palm and shake the heart, not to mention smashing the wall and smashing people's clothes, all of which show that the internal strength leaks out and is not used on the blade.

Nangong Shaofeng is an expert in the inner door, and he can see that the other party's palm skills are not very sophisticated, but he still doesn't believe it:

"The palm of the fire is so inadequate, it slaps me out three feet away, if I pull out the blade behind my waist, won't I be separated on the spot?"

The white-robed old man nodded: "See the truth in the subtleties, this son can force you to the wall with a few hands with a few reactions, and you will die with weapons." ”

Although Nangong Shaofeng said that his hard power was half a point worse than Xu Bailin's, he felt that there were really few people on the rivers and lakes who could meet him in one move, so he thought about it and said:

"It's the senior uncle of Yuxu Mountain?"

""Fourteen Hands of Sticky Clouds" was created by Xuanji Zhenren, but there are many people who teach Xuanji Zhenren, and it is difficult to conclude."

Nangong Shaofeng frowned and recalled slightly: "King Jing will inevitably make this move, Night Terror Hall is a cronie cultivated by King Jing, could it be that he found out here?" ”

Xu Bailin and Cao Aning, after making sure that there was nothing unusual outside, came to the entrance of the cave.

Xu Bailin shook her head: "The Night Terror Hall is indeed powerful, but the martial arts are not so high, otherwise, I wouldn't have hurt a leg." ”

Cao Aning already had a psychological shadow of the Night Terror Hall, but he also shook his head:

"The Night Terrors are so powerful, there's no way I'm going to get out of the morgue alive."

Nangong Shaofeng bowed slightly, and for the sake of safety, he still said:

"Even if it's him, he shouldn't have seen anything, clean up the things, you find a place to hide first. I went to report to the official and said that the palace was stolen, and asked Hei Ya to come and inspect the study and basement to avoid King Jing becoming suspicious. ”

Seeing this, several people turned around and went back to the ground......

——

Rustle rustle......

Drizzle.

Birds and birds spread their wings and hovered in the sky, watching a black torpedo at the bottom of the river, speeding downstream along the river, and on the bank of the river and even on the river, there were royal guards chasing and searching.

It wasn't until he rushed three miles downstream, out of the sight of the palace guards, that the bird hovered high in the air to warn.

Crash~~

Next to a secluded woodland on the riverbank, Night Terror Hall emerged from the water, took a big breath, wiped the water on his face with his hand, jumped onto the riverbank, and galloped in the direction of Yun'an City.

Luo Ning had been paying attention to the movements of the palace, and when she saw the palace frying pot and a black shadow rushing into the river, she hurriedly ran downstream.

When the night terror hall appeared, Luo Ning flew in front of him, a little annoyed:

"You call this infiltration? Sneaking in is going to come and go without a trace, why did you tear down people's houses again? The movement was so loud that I could hear it outside the palace. ”

Night Terror was still reactive, walking briskly through the woods, explaining:

"I thought there was no one in the bedroom, but I didn't expect there to be a basement hidden underneath, and I bumped into it as soon as I opened it, so I had to retreat from the enemy."

Luo Ning trotted beside him, grabbed the wrist of the Night Terror, and found that he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Can you reveal your identity?"

"The fourteen sticky clouds I used should not be suspicious of my head."

"The Fourteen Hands of Sticky Cloud are the palm of Xuanji Zhenren, and they will definitely suspect that the imperial court is investigating and destroy the evidence in advance. Can you find a clue? ”

Night Terror Hall looked very rewarding, and nodded:

"I found a copy of Cleopatra's Secret History in my study......"

"What?!"

"The Secret History of Cleopatra"

Luo Ning slammed his footsteps and pulled the night terror hall back:

"I told you to look for evidence, what are you looking for?"

Night Terror Hall said seriously: "That book is very realistic, it is about a queen mother in the previous dynasty who had an affair with the prince...... Hiss-"

Before he finished speaking, he was pressed against a tree by the angry Luo Woman.

Luo Ning twisted the night terror's arm: "You still watched?!" You take such a big risk to find evidence, and in the end you peek at miscellaneous books that can't be seen in people's houses, you little thief is simply ......"

Night Terror Hall raised his hand slightly: "I'm talking about business, I'm not joking." That book was written by an official of the Ministry of Industry in the former dynasty, and he studied the digging of tunnels and imperial tombs. ”

"Can this be used as evidence?"

"I'm experienced, and I'm sure that King Wu has been digging the tunnel for a long ......time."

"No matter how long people read it, it is also a printed book, can you say that people intend to rebel?"

Luo Ning didn't know what to say: "You said that you found a book of obscenity in someone's study, accusing the prince of the other clan of being suspected of rebellion, even if the queen believes you, she dares to arrest people with this?" Originally, the vassal king didn't have the heart to rebel, if you make this show, believe it or not, the princes of the Twelve Roads will come to the side of the Qing monarch and chop you up as a traitor who slanders loyalty? ”

Night Terror Hall knew that Huang Shu could not be used as evidence to confirm that Wu Wang Shizi was plotting against him, so he could only say:

"Let's take a clue, I'll buy "The Secret History of Cleopatra" and study it carefully......"

Luo Ning had nothing to say, and walked back with the medicine bag.

Night Terror Hall followed up and said: "Believe in my sense of books, if the prince of Wu is a good friend, he will never stare at the passage of digging the imperial tomb for a long time; If he wasn't a fan, he shouldn't have stared for a long time. Reading books is intended to apply what you have learned, and there must be something strange about this matter......"

Luo Ning turned her head, her eyes were very complicated:

"Applying what you've learned? You admit it, right, you look at all that mess, just to greet the woman? How? The tears of the chivalrous woman are not enough for you to do your best, and you still want to come to this "The Secret History of Cleopatra" again, and bring disaster to the queen mother? ”

Night Terror Hall hurriedly raised his hand: "Shhh I don't dare to talk nonsense if this is not light or heavy. ”

"Hmph~"

Luo Ning was actually shocked to believe it, but Huang Shu's strange means of handling the case, no matter how much she believed it, she couldn't support it verbally, so she didn't say a word at the moment, and went to Yun'an City with Night Terror......

Nine thousand words, it's worth one more or2!

I recommend a copy of "From a Small Town Scholar to a Chief Scientist", which is a story of a scholar......
