Chapter 691: Temptation at the Table

"Strange is strange, but we just need to carry out the order, and we don't bother to care about other things that we don't need to know. ”

"That's right, as far as we are concerned, we just need to know our responsibilities, but don't you think it will be bad if something happens?"

"What's a bad deal? Is there a difference between knowing and not knowing?"

"Of course there is, in case of an accident we don't even know what to protect, important things are taken away and we may be stupid to protect other things, isn't this problem very serious. Chen Ling said.

"That's right, but adults don't think we need to know so much, and naturally they won't tell us, there are some things that the more people know, the more people who know, the more bad it is, do you admit this?"

Chen Ling nodded.

The man continued: "That's it, it can only mean that the adults think that the secrecy of this matter is more important than the protection, otherwise we would not know anything." ”

"It's quite possible. Chen Ling nodded, as if he was moved, and asked them mysteriously, "Aren't you curious about what our Tiancong Mansion is protecting?"

"Who knows. They were also driven by Chen Ling's mysterious voice, and their speech became very quiet.

"Since I entered the Tiancong Mansion, I know that this place is heavily guarded, and no stranger is never allowed to enter it, hundreds of thousands of years ago, Tiancong Mansion has been here, Tiancong Mansion is a mansion with very deep qualifications in the imperial capital, no matter how many mansions on the side are new and luxurious, as long as they know Tiancong Mansion, no one dares to underestimate Tiancong Mansion. ”

Speaking of excitement, he took a sip of the leftover soup and continued: "Don't look at us, our adults are not big officials, even the official establishment is not counted. However, there is not a single big official who walks on the street and does not give us adults three points of face, that is, those of us who come out of the house from heaven walk on the street with great face, and some officials have to treat us well if they know us. ”

"This is even more strange, why do we have such a good treatment because our adults do not have a big official position?" Could it be that ......" Chen Ling guessed mysteriously: "Could it be that our adults used to be descendants of the founding heroes?"

"Then who can know, it is said that the Lord was directly stationed in the Tiancong Mansion by the Emperor. The identity is not the same. ”

"I also think that our adult identity is extraordinary, so what the emperor asked him to protect must be something very important, if only I knew what we protect, then my sense of honor will skyrocket in an instant. Chen Ling said half-jokingly.

"Actually, who doesn't want to know, although we just need to obey orders, but we are also curious, but it seems that no one has ever known about this matter, so don't think about it, just know that we are protecting something important. ”

"In fact, everyone really has a guess about what treasure is hidden in Tiancong Mansion. One of them bowed his head and whispered, "Even though no one has a clear answer." But I think some of the speculations are interesting. ”

"Oh, what kind of speculation, how come I never heard of it?" Chen Ling looked at him in surprise.

"How long have you been in Tiancongfu, there are some things that people won't tell you, and these things don't usually talk about casually, how can you know. The man whispered: "First of all, we have to start with the origin of our Tiancongfu, it is said that there was no place in Tiancongfu at the earliest, and our Tiancongfu was established shortly before the emperor launched a war with foreign countries, so many people speculate that this may be the place where the emperor holds important prisoners, you should all know that in the eyes of many warriors." There are nine prisons in the imperial capital, and our Tiancongfu is undoubtedly one of them. There is also a speculation that is not impossible, we have a lot of artifacts obtained from the battlefield hidden in the Heavenly Palace. ”

"And this?"

"Who knows, it's all speculation. ”

"If we really built Tiancongfu before the start of the war, then it is really possible that it existed for this war, but I have been here for a long time, and it seems that I have never seen outsiders come and go to Tiancongfu. Whether it's escorting prisoners or transporting loot, we should all see it, right? But it seems that nothing like this has ever happened, how can this be explained?" Chen Ling asked.

"That's why it's speculation, no matter what, these things can only be done in secret, and we people are essentially ensuring the safety of Tiancongfu. It's not to ensure the safety of these treasures or captives, so we don't need to know about these things at all. ”

"I see. Chen Ling looked like he didn't understand.

"I said that you kid has a lot of problems today, aren't you just a few drunkards, as for arousing your great interest?"

"I can't say that, in fact, I have always had such doubts, that is, after this happened, I couldn't help but want to know the answer. Chen Ling also knew that it was almost there, so he simply took the topic by himself, "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense, anyway, this is also a matter without an answer, no matter how much you ask, there are more people than I have been here for a long time, they don't know the answer, how can I figure out the key to this, and it's still the same after I think about it, what should I do, I don't want to think about it." ”

"Eh, that's right, patrol well, practice hard, don't care what you do so much, and don't let you be an adult, what's there to think about. Let's go, it's almost time, go out and continue the patrol. ”

The half-hour break and chatting quickly passed, and everyone continued to patrol.

In the middle of the night, there is actually nothing to patrol on the street, watching the two teams patrolling even the drunks are walking around the road, how can there be any petty thieves who dare to approach Tiancongfu, especially Chen Ling knows better than anyone that the last incident had nothing to do with the three drunks at all, they may be confused themselves, and they don't know if they did it themselves.

Tiancongfu is so tightly protected, it is estimated that there are not a few people who don't know each other who dare to come here to steal things, no matter how many treasures they fantasize about in this tightly guarded place, there will be no thieves coming in the place where there is no entry or exit.

If nothing happens, the patrol should be over soon.

From what has been learned, it is almost certain that the Tiancongfu has a great deal to do with the war launched by the Eastern Emperor, although on the surface it seems that the Tiancongfu has nothing to do with anything.

The more deliberately arranged it is, the more it can't hide the suspicion inside, just because it has existed for too long, and everyone has become accustomed to its mystery, just like the guards here, they have lost interest in the mystery of Tiancongfu, because it seems to be a mystery that can never be solved, and curiosity is useless.

Chen Ling is different, what he and I have done makes him have to find out the secrets of Tiancong Mansion. (To be continued.) )
