Chapter 17 A Different Way

"Bad people?" Luo Jian gasped, knowing that the other party was indeed not an idle person! Luo Jian, who is good at reading history books, has seen the relevant introduction. The bad guy is a person with special skills selected from among the people with evil deeds in the Tang Dynasty for the purpose of investigating and arresting cases. And after re-selection, a part of the elite became the henchmen of the prince's ministers and generals who investigated the emperor alone.

"Any questions?" Liu Zhong glared at Luo Jian, but this time Luo Jian didn't say anything.

"Brother Zhong, what about the other guards? Are they all the emperor's people too? Lin Lanyue asked.

"How is it possible, I am the only one sent by the emperor. But don't worry, they have all been dizzy by sweat pills and can't wake up for a while. But the night is long and dreamy, and we must leave immediately! As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the chamber where the sarcophagus was placed. This time, a few people really didn't have any extra words, and immediately followed.

The group climbed the bamboo ladder one by one, and when they went up, they found themselves at the end of a long corridor, and there were two small stone lions next to the exit of the road. After all five people came up, Liu Zhong habitually moved one of the stone lions to cover the entrance of the cave, and then led them along the corridor.

As soon as he walked five or six meters, he turned to the right, and after walking straight forward for about twenty meters, the corridor turned to the left. Just a few meters after turning around, a huge stone gate blocked the way. Liu Zhong put his hand on a hemispherical protrusion on the right stone wall and pressed it hard, and the "Karala" stone door opened!

Outside is a wider corridor, a few people out of the stone gate to continue to walk, found that the two sides of the corridor began to appear on both sides of the door holes, can't help but be curious. Luo Jian approached and stretched out his head to take a look, and found that there was a lot of space inside, and all the high-quality blades placed against the wall were shining. "It turns out that these rooms are the armory prepared by King Shou for the rebellion!" Luo Jian thought secretly in his heart, but was dragged back by Liu Zhong. A few people didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly continued to move forward along the corridor, passing through several rooms with hidden blades, and after walking for nearly a hundred meters, another large stone door appeared in front of them, which should be the exit of the armory. Liu Zhong concocted the same method and pressed the mechanism to open the stone door.

The group walked out and found that the corridor outside was very short, with a doorway on each side, and a stone door that didn't glow just in front of it! Is this the exit? Everyone followed Liu Zhong to this last gate quickly.

Just a few steps, Li Shilan inadvertently looked at the doorway on the left and saw a stone table inside, on which there were five or six people lying crookedly.

"That's right!" Liu Zhong seemed to remember something, "You guys can't wear this clothes, you have to change, otherwise you will be arrested if you go out!" With that, he led them into the room on the left. I saw that the stone table was full of wine and food, and the aroma was fragrant. Several black-clothed people dressed similarly to Liu Zhong were lying on the table, and an old man dressed gorgeously was also sleeping at the desk. Looking at the ground again, there were several people lying horizontally, among which there were two maid-like women lying prone on the ground, and there seemed to be blood stains on the back of their heads.

"Quick! I changed my clothes right away! Liu Zhong said as if he were ordering.

Seeing Lin Lanyue and Liu Yushuang's embarrassed looks, she added a little gently: "Sister Shuang, you go to the opposite room to change into the clothes of these two maids." Be quick! ”

The four of them changed their clothes in two separate rooms.

"It's weird!" After Li Shilan finished changing her clothes, she turned over the changed clothes and checked them several times, as if she had lost something.

"What's wrong? Ah Lan. Can't find the jade pendant? Luo Jian asked as he straightened his coat, which was a little fat for him.

"No, it's the book that's missing!" Li Shilan whispered to Luo Jian.

"Books? Yes! My oneβ€”it seems to be gone. Luo Jian picked up the clothes and pants he had changed, rummaged through his pockets and couldn't find them.

The two of them put down their clothes and looked at Liu Zhong in unison, at this time he was checking the state of those who were stunned. Seeing Li Shilan and Luo Jian looking at themselves with suspicion, they said, "What? Lost something? I'm not interested in what belongs to you! ”

"Not interested? Hum! Luo Jian thought to himself, "I'm not interested in being so attentive to my two sisters!" Of course, she's not an object. As soon as they thought of this, Lin Lanyue and Liu Yushuang finished changing their clothes and walked in.

"Oh my God! So beautiful! Seeing the two cute girls who had changed into ancient costumes in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shilan praised.

β€œOh,My GOD! So beautiful!” Luo Jian couldn't help but burst out with a foreign sentence.

"What kind of nonsense is he talking about?" Liu Zhong felt inexplicable.

Two girls in their youth, who were sincerely praised by different surnames, were happy in their hearts, and lowered their heads shyly.

"Alright, let's get dressed, let's get going! The effect of the drug is about the same, and these people can wake up at any time! Liu Zhong's words seem to have destroyed the warmth and affection of young men and women, which is a bit out of place, but the situation is indeed urgent, how can there be time to give them their children's affection.

Hearing Liu Zhong say that the sweat medicine was about to expire, the four of them had to immediately clean up their mood and dare not delay any longer. Li Shilan and Luo Jian's loss of ancient books can only be put aside for the time being.

A few people walked out of the room and were about to walk to the exit door. only to find a boulder hanging overhead!

Recovered

Li Shilan, Luo Jian and the others followed Liu Zhong out of the room where the guards were fascinated. As soon as he took a few steps towards the exit gate, Luo Jian found in the corner of his eyes that there was a large stone four meters square hanging in front of the exit door, and he was immediately startled! At the same time, he drank everyone: "Don't move! There are traps! When a few people heard this, they stood still and didn't dare to move!

"Where's the trap?" Liu Zhong and the others looked at Luo Jian in disbelief.

"Upper!" Luo Jian pointed to the boulder and said.

When the others looked up, they couldn't help but change color, only Liu Zhong looked calm.

"It's okay, it's not a trap, come out with me." Liu Zhong was a little anxious. The other people, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't move for a while!

"What a hassle!" Liu Zhong was a little annoyed, "Let me tell you, this is the mechanism set up by King Shou, in case the incident fails, let the people left behind put down the boulder and seal the exit!" It's not a trap, follow me! ”

"If something fails, why do you want to block the exit?" Liu Yushuang asked curiously.

Liu Zhong was anxious, but seeing that it was Yushuang's sister, he patiently continued to explain: "If King Shou himself is outside, he can temporarily destroy the evidence of rebellion." If King Shou has already entered the secret room, he can block the pursuers and let him enter the underground palace mausoleum designed by himself, saying that he wants to live forever or ascend to immortal or something. ”

"Brother Zhong, this stone won't fall, right?" Lin Lanyue looked at the boulder and asked timidly.

"No, no, only when the four traps are pressed at the same time will the boulder fall." As he spoke, he pointed to the stone walls on both sides, and saw that there were two hemispherical protrusions on each of them. "As long as you don't press it yourself, we won't be crushed by the boulder, don't worry?"

"Understood, Brother Zhong!"

"After a while, out of the stone gate, you follow me up the steps, the steps are very long, and when you reach the ground, it is a forest, and by this time you are already outside the Shouwang Mansion. When you go out of the woods, do not speak, but do everything I command. ”

Several people nodded after hearing this. Liu Zhong walked towards the stone gate at this time, and just opened a palm distance, but he heard someone talking outside.

"Senior brother, we stole the treasure of Zhenshan and came out, this time the disaster can be a big one!" A gentleman-sounding man said worriedly.

"Senior brother, stealing the treasure book is also to dedicate it to the prince. No, it will be the saint of the present day in the future! What a curse! I heard that his old man likes to collect ancient books and treasures, these two books are the secret books of our Yuankong Sect Patriarch who helped Taizong succeed back then, and their value is immeasurable! The prince must like it! Tonight, let's help the prince succeed in one fell swoop, and he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the second half of his life! Hahahaha! A slightly rough voice said, it seems that he is a senior brother.

"That's what I said, but you don't know the temper of the ancestor! Sooner or later, it will be held back to us, and it will be terrible! The Sven man lowered his voice again and said, "In case the prince doesn't work out tonight!" How are we doing? ”

"Senior brother, you're thinking too much! If you don't take a little risk now, how can you have high-ranking officials and glory and wealth in the future? Besides, we are not treated well in the Kongyuan faction at all, and if we stay forever, we will not be able to survive in this life! It's better to bet big, do you say yes or no? ”

"Senior brother is right! That's all it has to be for now! The two of them walked down the stairs, saying that they were about to walk to the door.

Because the internal and external environment is very quiet, the people inside the door can hear the words of the two people just now.

"These two people should be the people from the rivers and lakes invited by the prince, I didn't expect to arrive so early!" Liu Zhong thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Listening to what they say, their status in their sect is not high, and they don't have much ability. After a while, you stand on both sides, and I find an opportunity to take care of them! As he spoke, he opened the stone door.

Outside the door, two tall and thin men dressed in dark green suits had just walked down the last few steps and came to the flat ground in front of the door.

"Two heroes, but they were invited by the prince to do business today?" He made a gesture as he spoke, as if it were a code.

"Exactly, exactly!" It was a shorter man who spoke, but it was a senior brother who listened to the voice. He also made a gesture in response.

"The two of you came a little early, and the younger one took the two of them in for a cup of tea and a rest." As he spoke, he turned around and led the way in front, and Li Shilan and the other four people lined up on both sides and walked inside.

"It's hard work!" Two people from the rivers and lakes followed.

Seeing that the drunk people in the banquet were about to be revealed, Li Shilan and their hearts were anxiously beating the drums, but Liu Zhong suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "That's right! Two digits. Did you bring what the prince wanted? ”

"Do you want it now?" The two hesitated.

"Yes, the prince invites heroes all over the world, one is to do a big thing with the prince, and the other is to hope that all the knights can share the secrets of this sect. The prince loves talents, and he also loves the treasures of the rivers and lakes. If the cheats of the two are valuable, the prince will definitely not treat the two of them badly in the future. Liu Zhong explained humbly.

The tall and thin two glanced at each other, carefully took out a book from their arms and handed it over.

"Thank you both!" As he spoke, he nodded at Li Shilan and Luo Jian, and motioned for them to pick them up.

Li Luo and the others understood, stepped forward to take the book with both hands, and retreated to the sides. Luo Jian looked down and saw that the cover of the book had turned yellow, obviously old, but there was only one word on the cover: "Mou!" Secretly happy in his heart, he hurriedly glanced at Li Shilan. At this time, Li Shilan's eyes were no longer separated from the book in her hand, and she looked at the treasure book with only one "gas" on the cover with a happy face.
