Chapter 14: The Shocking Conspiracy
"Didn't you hear the singing just now?" An older voice asked.
"No! The little one really didn't hear anything! A young man replied.
"Could it be the voices of the two women?"
"It's possible, too, but as you saw just now, those two women are tied up sturdily. You can rest assured! The young man reassured.
"Well, okay. Maybe I'm overthinking. However, you have to know how important tonight is! The old man admonished.
"Understood, understood, Mr. Ouyang, don't worry! Liu Zhong knows the severity! "It seems that the young man's name is Liu Zhong." The general manager, a small many-mouthed. You are the prince's confidant. Tell me about it, can our prince succeed this time? β
"Ahemβdo you have any doubts about that?" The old man was a little displeased.
"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!" Liu Zhong immediately explained, "It's just that the little one has been with you for so many years, this time the prince wants to do something big, and you and I are both at stake!" You didn't think about what ifβ"
"You kid don't want to live anymore! You can tell me this, if it reaches the ears of the prince, will you still have your life? The old man tapped again.
"Yes, yes, the little one understands. Don't I see you as my father's family? "Liu Zhong's kung fu is not bad.
"Hmph, don't come with me. However, for the sake of your boy's loyalty, I will say a few words to you. The old man looked left and right, "I think the prince is bound to win this time!" β
"How?" Liu Zhong echoed.
"Because our prince is so well prepared! Let's just say that this underground chamber has been built for seven years! You also know how much of the best blades have been crafted now, and how much money has been spent including the Mo Knife! It's all in place now, stored in the armory on the west side. β
"Yes, yes, yes, weapons are indeed the best at the moment! But with weapons alone, no one is in vain! β
"How is there no one! The elite soldiers in the palace practice secretly every day, and you don't know it. The old man gave Liu Zhong a blank look.
"But how many people are there? I'm afraid it's not enough to make it happen, right? β
"Ahemβof course it's not just these people." The old man looked around again and continued, "The prince has also contacted a lot of chivalrous guests on the rivers and lakes, all of whom have been friends for many years, and now they have entered the city one after another, just waiting for an order tonight!" β
"And the charlatans to help? That's a lot more odds! β
"Also, ahemβ" the old man said in a low voice, "I heard that we still have a response outside the city, and once the city succeeds, the outside will immediately echo, and there will be an attack inside and outside!" Do you think there is a reason why it can't be done? Hahahaha! β
"The prince's arrangement is really thorough! I admire the five-body throw! Liu Zhong said convincingly. But what is the use of the secret room in the middle? It's all ancient books of brocade and jade, as well as this sarcophagus. What are these for? β
"These are the only ones that illustrate the problem, including the eastern part, which is the tomb that the prince built for himself. That is to say, once he fails, this is his destination, and he will never give in or flee. β
"The prince has made up his mind to die!"
"What must die? It's a must-win! Besides, even if it fails, the prince has other arrangements. Seeing that this black and shiny coffin is not, this is made of special stone that fell from the sky that the prince found under the guidance of a master, and he heard that he can live forever when he lies in. β
"That's too mysterious, isn't it?" Liu Zhong was a little unconvinced.
"All in all, we have to believe in the prince! Don't know half-heartedly, right? Manager Ouyang concluded.
Li Shilan listened to it in the sarcophagus for a long time, and at first thought that Luo Jian was making trouble, playing some role with Li Cheng. Later, when I heard the voice, it was not theirs, plus the previous said that two female servants were caught, and the latter said that the black sarcophagus had a magical use. I can't help but feel more frightened the more I think about it! Moreover, this sarcophagus is covered with a lid, and it is gradually a little breathless.
"All in all, we have to believe in the prince! Don't know half-heartedly, right? Manager Ouyang advised.
"The little ones are remembered!"
Just when Li Shilan's breathing was becoming more and more difficult, she heard Manager Ouyang say: "Okay, tonight everyone will work together, the prince has prepared good wine and good food to treat you, and has sent the maid to the west gate of the secret room, let's go up together!" β
"Thank you, Lord Wang, thank you Steward! You please! Then he heard the creak of a ladder climbing, and one man went up, and another man went up.
After waiting for a while, Li Shilan pushed the lid of the sarcophagus hard, and finally revealed a gap. He breathed heavily, waited for his breath to be even, pushed the lid of the coffin open and jumped out with a bang.
At this moment, I heard the sound of the kalala, and saw that the lid of the sarcophagus next to him was also pushed open a crack, Li Shilan hurriedly helped, and the coffin lid was completely opened, so that Luo Jian was able to get out.
"Mom, this old man is too long-winded! Return to the king? Singing big plays? Luo Jian was also overly hypoxic, and came out to complain.
"Be quiet!" Li Shilan lowered her voice, "Luo Jian, I have an ominous premonition!" β
"Hey, everything in this dungeon is weird! If you have any hunches, tell me! "Luo Jian's qi doesn't seem to have adjusted yet.
"I think we might have crossed over!" Li Shilan said solemnly.
Luo Jian did not laugh at Li Shilan this time, but leaned his neck in a daze. Li Shilan followed Luo Jian's gaze, and there was a square exit on the stone wall at the roof of the shed, and a bamboo ladder was erected on it. Combined with the creaking sound she heard in the sarcophagus just now, Li Shilan judged that the two people had gone up from here.
"It's completely different from what happened before we fell asleep!" Li Shilan walked to the storage shelf again, opened the box, and opened the small box of the Immortal Pill, which contained four pills neatly placed.
Luo Jian also came over and saw this scene, and was silent for a while, but he still couldn't believe that he had returned to the Tang Dynasty. Pulled Li Shilan out of the stone room, pointed to the stone door of the secret room next door where the books should have been stored, and said, "Look at this room again!" If all the books in here are new, then we're going to cross over! β
Li Shilan nodded, and the two of them held their hands on the stone gate, exhaled in unison, and then pushed the stone door inward.
"Ahh The scene in front of her made Li Shilan dizzy for a while, "I'm not dreaming, right?" Luo Jian was also dumbfounded.
What did they see?
In the corner of the library room, two girls sit against the wall! His eyes were covered with black cloth, his mouth was tied with strips of cloth, his upper body was tied with hemp rope, his feet and ankles were also tied with a strong knot, and there was a little mud on his two pairs of jade legs.
Although her face was partially covered by strips of cloth, Li Shilan could still see at a glance that the one with short ear-length hair was the silver bell girl she dreamed of-Lin Lanyue!
The two girls heard a voice and screamed "Mmmm-mm-" through their noses!
When Li Shilan saw this scene, she really realized what it was like to feel distressed. Two lines of hot tears flowed down at once.
"Why are you still stunned! Help them untie it! Luo Jian reminded.
The two of them lightly untied the strips of cloth from the girls' eyes and mouths first, for fear of hurting them.
Li Shilan and Lin Lanyue looked at each other, as if time had stood still!
