"What does this mean?" asked Ward as he pointed to the handwriting on the handle and looked puzzled at Li Zijun and Curtis.

"If my guess is correct, your ancestors are trying to make us smash things!" Li Zijun said as he glanced at the stone house, and his eyes stayed on the stone table, and only then did he notice that the stone table and the ground were one.

Break and stand!

Almost at the same time as he saw the words 'hand hammer', Li Zijun understood the intentions of this Ziqing ancestor, this Ziqing ancestor really had good intentions for his descendants!

It's just that Li Zijun didn't smash the stone table with a hammer as he wished, and after quickly determining the situation under the stone table, he kicked the stone table to the side.

As the stone table was removed, a Xiangxia passage was exposed in front of the three of them, and the three exchanged glances, and Curtis, Huade, and Li Zijun entered the passage in turn.

This time they did not experience any more dangers, and came to an iron gate smoothly.

Ward was about to pull the latch open, but Curtis stepped forward and grabbed him, and after listening intently for a while, he nodded to Walder.

"How could this be here?" said Walder, who opened the iron door and saw the scene before him, his voice unaware of the fear in his voice.

"How could this be here?" said the same sentence, but Curtis's voice was full of despair.

"Where the hell is this?" The two were obviously familiar with this study, and looking at the expressions of the two, Li Zijun asked curiously.

Just as the three of them focused their attention on the study, the chamber changed again, as a boulder fell. The inner chamber of the secret room is completely gone!

"This is my father's study!" said Walder, really. This was Walter's home, and it was supposed to be the safest place for him to feel. But because of Gladys's existence, he couldn't help but feel chills when he stood here!

"It turned out that the moment my father gave this mansion to my eldest brother. He has already been chosen as the heir! It's ridiculous that Walter and I are still ignorant, and we are doing all kinds of useless efforts every day. Now it looks like we're just immersed in the dreams we've weaved!" Curtis shook his head with a wry smile as he looked at the room's interior.

Hearing Curtis's emotion, Li Zijun understood that the two of them would show such strange expressions!

Since the founding of the Ziqing Empire, every heir has been arranged to live in this mansion before inheriting the throne. Until a new heir is formed, it is usually left vacant.

Previously, Curtis and Walter thought it was just a habit, but today they finally understood why.

This truth was only unexpected for Walter. But the blow to Curtis is too great, it is a negation of all his previous efforts!

Li Zijun didn't have time to accompany them to sigh, and after making sure that there was no danger here, he sat down cross-legged.

On this night, Li Zijun almost non-stop, first using secret methods to stimulate his potential to kill Moore and hurt Shaw, and then led Woodrow and others to break out of the siege, and Zuihou was seriously injured when he captured Laurie. He was almost at the point of running out of oil, and although he knew that the crisis was in place at the moment, he had to stop for a while to heal himself.

In the evening, Li Zijun's true qi in his body completed Zuihou for a week. He slowly rose from the ground.

"Is there any movement outside?" asked Li Zijun, looking at Curtis and Ward.

"In order not to startle the snake, Ward and I didn't even get out of this room. But I think Gladys should have transferred most of the liliang in the mansion, otherwise there wouldn't be a single person in this compound for so long. Curtis had now recovered from the blow he had just received.

"I'll go out and find out first. Take advantage of the situation to get some food, and then decide where we want to go!" Li Zijun nodded to Curtis and Ward, and listened to the movement outside. Opened the door and slipped out.

"Second uncle!" Looking at Li Zijun's back, Hua De looked at Curtis with some concern.

"Don't worry! Grand Duke Edlaide was in such a critical situation last night. He didn't abandon us, and he had no reason to leave secretly at this time. ”

"And as far as I know. Archduke Edlaide, though young, is a man who values his commitment very much, and since he has promised your father, he will definitely send you out of Toscano. I believe it won't be long before he comes back here!" Curtis knew very well that Ward was worried that Li Zijun would not return, and he smiled and comforted him.

Li Zijun did not disappoint Curtis, and it didn't take long for him to return to this study with some food and clothes.

"You eat something first, and when you're done eating, you change into all these ordinary people's clothes. Your clothes are too dazzling and smell of blood, so you might as well change them!"

"Shall we leave after eating?"

"We're just afraid that we'll have to stay here for a few more days! After going out for a walk, I found that we are the safest here, and instead of going out and being chased by rabbits, it is better to stay here and wait and see what happens!" Li Zijun walked to the recliner and lay down leisurely. smiled and waved his hand to Walter.

"Is there any other news? How are Walter's family and me doing now?" Curtis had been worried about himself and Walter's family, and he didn't have the heart to eat at all, so he asked Li Zijun anxiously.

"As you said before, Gladys did transfer almost all of the Liliang in the mansion, and at this point the defenses here are useless, and we can easily leave here at any time. ”

"There aren't any important people in the house, and I don't want to reveal our whereabouts, so I haven't gotten much valuable information. ”

"I just heard that martial law has been imposed in the city of Toscano since last night, and that no one is allowed to go out! I want to wait for the wind outside to be quieter before we find a way to get out of here!"

"What if the queen mother comes back here?" said Walder, who was still accustomed to having Gladys as the 'queen mother'.

"This may not be nothing, but it won't be too big! At this time, Tuscano is in turmoil, and she still has to stay in the palace to sit in the palace, there is no special reason, and she has little chance of returning here! And I think that even if she returns to the mansion, she will also" Li Zijun said here and paused slightly.

"What's wrong with you, Grand Duke?" Curtis and Walter couldn't help but worry when they saw Li Zijun frowning.

"If you were Gladys, after discovering that we had escaped from the palace through a tunnel, would you guess where the tunnel exit was?" asked Li Zijun without answering.

Curtis and Walter heard Li Zijun say this, and their faces immediately became extremely ugly.

"She wouldn't have thought we'd be hiding here, would she?" said Walter timidly.

"Since this woman can come up with a 'bitter meat trick' to deceive us, what else can't she think of! Whether she thinks about it or not, we can't continue to stay here, we can't afford to lose now!" Curtis looked at Li Zijun with a solemn expression, and he waited for Li Zijun to give Zuihou's opinion.

"But where can we go out of here?"

"If we don't leave, we may be caught by Gladys, but if we leave here, we will soon be discovered, and our situation may not be much better at that time!" Li Zijun shook his head with a wry smile.

"Is there a courtyard dedicated to Gladys in the palace?" Li Zijun suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he turned to Hua De and asked.

"Yes! Father and Mother have not lived together for a long time!" replied Walder, a little lonely.

"Lead the way, let's hide in her courtyard!"

"Is this going to work? If the queen mother goes back to her own room to rest, then we really have no way out!"

"I really hope she'll go back to her room!" Li Zijun's eyes actually flashed a trace of excitement at this time.

Curtis and Walter were not stupid, and immediately understood Li Zijun's idea that he was going to hold Gladys hostage, and they hurriedly moved.

"Don't put away the food on the table, just take it as a gift we left for Gladys!" Li Zijun winked at the two of them and walked out of the study.

Hearing Li Zijun's somewhat inexplicable words, Curtis and Walter couldn't help but be stunned, and then Curtis was the first to react.

"Let's go, don't clean up!"

"But this?" Ward had not yet understood what the two men meant, and he pointed to the leftovers on the table and looked at Curtis in confusion.

"The moment Gladys arrives, the secret of the secret passage will cease to exist. Instead of continuing to dodge, it is better to tell her in the open light that we are escaping from here!"

"Not hiding where we used to be here, it's easier for Gladys to think we've gone away!"

"Dongyu said: Archduke Edlaide's wisdom is better than martial arts! I was still a little skeptical at the time, but today I can see it!" Curtis pulled Huade out of the study with Li Zijun, their eyes full of admiration as they looked at Li Zijun's back.

Not long after the three of them left, Lilian and his ugly father-in-law quietly rushed to the palace with a large group of people.

They first carefully surrounded the palace, and then secretly commanded a group of masters to approach Woodrow's study from all sides at the same time.

The study was 'attacked' in an instant, and the secret room was quickly found, without exception, they did not encounter any resistance!

"Let them run away again!" said Lilian, who had walked into the study, looking at the remaining pastries on the desk and the empty secret room.

"Don't be so anxious! Don't you see, when they left, they didn't even have time to clean up the leftovers, so you can see how panicked they were!"

"It is said that Edward is very clever, but in my opinion, he is also famous!" the old man sneered self-righteously.

"Father, why is that?" Lilian wondered.

"It's raging outside, and they can't find a foothold! If I were Edlaide, I'd try to hide my whereabouts and hide in other rooms of the palace. It's better than them being like lost dogs, terrified all day long!"

"But now!" the old man suddenly burst into laughter, his smile as ugly and piercing as his countenance......!
