Chapter 226: The Tip of the Iceberg
Most families build mansions, more or less build secret passages for escape or store some extremely secret things to build secret rooms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The largest mansion in the Northwest is the Castle Palace. The city king's mansion is so splendid, and the city king is so rich, his secret room is only not small. Therefore, they did not choose to enter the palace by storming, because once a blow failed, the king of the city would flee, and there would be endless troubles.
Fortunately, their assault was successful, although the process of capturing the king of the city was more interesting, but at least they were caught and the situation was controlled.
The king of the city is really rich, not only the outer mansion is richly decorated, this palace is also extremely luxurious, after turning the stone steps slowly, it suddenly opens up, there is no cave. In the secret room, there are calligraphy and paintings, antiques, gems and all kinds of treasures of the Western Regions.
Shaoyuan was born in poverty, how could he have seen so many treasures, but they didn't stay for long, because Dugu Lin said a very old-fashioned sentence, "City King, we are not interested in your Treasure Pavilion, I believe there must be a more secret place, right?" The City King was also stunned, this person seems not simple.
Dugu Lin looked at the expression of the King of the City, and rolled his eyes sharply, "The King of the City, in the lower hall of the Vermilion Bird Divine Catch, you can confuse me with this little thing, are you too underestimating my six doors?"
Walking through the palatial exhibition hall, they came to a study-like place, with a variety of bookshelves filled with all kinds of letters. Dugu Lin glanced around, looked at Gao Chong and Shaoyuan, and the two of them would also be interested, so they began to search for useful things on the bookshelf.
But in fact, all kinds of useful things are involved in the martial arts conspiracy, the Ma family, and Dugu Lin is responsible for finding them. When it comes to the Western Regions, the border army has a high favor to review by itself. For a while, everyone was busy with their own things, and only Shaoyuan was left there to guard the king of the city boredly.
This also happened to give Shao Yuan the opportunity to ask the King of the City some questions.
"Lord Wang, can I ask you a question?" the old man and the young man stood in an inconspicuous corner and chatted with each other.
"I want to see what you asked, do you want to answer it," said the king of the city, noncommittally.
"Ma Dingwen said that the reason why you are doing these things is because he said to you, what did Ma Dingwen say to you that made you so excited?
"Why????
"I've been here, I've been living in Chaisan for a while, can you answer my question, King of the City?"
"Well, take me to another secret room, and the answer you want is in that secret room, and don't alarm the others," the king said suddenly.
Looking at the city king who was tied up by five flowers, Shaoyuan also felt that the city king should not be able to make any big waves, but for the sake of safety, he still grabbed him and said, "Let's go, lead the way", maybe everyone is busy with their own work, and after confirming the safety of this place, the role of the city king is not so obvious, and Shaoyuan also looks at the city king, so everyone can rest assured.
The two of them walked on a long stone road and continued to go deeper, this secret room really has another way out, connecting the two secret rooms, the king of the city walked in front, and suddenly said with emotion It turns out that unconsciously, I have been in this Xiliang for almost 20 years, it is really a white horse, when I went to the Western Regions, I was only four or five years older than you, and now I think about it, it is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, of course, you are even more bold, you dare to break into my palace like this at a young age, and calculate my subordinates step by step, sure enough, this world is you young people after all."
Shaoyuan was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, and it was not a wise choice to rashly follow the king of the city here, but since his brain was short-circuited and made this choice, it was better to be cautious.
The two of them came to the middle hall again, this hall was far less decorated than the previous secret room, in Shaoyuan's feeling, this was like a hall corresponding to the extravagant exhibition hall of the secret room, so this must be another place. Thinking of this node, Shaoyuan frowned, "Lord Wang, it's not good to show me these little cleverness at the moment."
The king of the city looked very open, "Don't worry, this king didn't think about running away or leaving, it's just that there are fewer people here, and I just want you to talk to you about some things."
Shaoyuan was very puzzled, "Say to me?"
The King of the City nodded, found a chair and sat down, "That's right, didn't you ask me why I helped the Ma family? You go to that bookshelf and look for those manuscripts, and I'll talk to you about it too."
Shao Yuan looked at the King of the City, then turned around and went to the bookshelf to look through the materials. The city king looked at Shaoyuan and said leisurely, "Lu Shaoyuan, did you really kill the Ma family?"
Shaoyuan paused, and then nodded, "It should be counted, from now on, there will be no Ma family in Liangzhou"
Seeing Shao Yuan's answer, the king of the city sighed, "It doesn't matter if you say it or not."
Shaoyuan stopped what he was doing, "What does the prince want to say?"
The prince lay on the chair and looked at the ceiling, "A few years ago, on a boring afternoon, the Ma family suddenly visited, and he drew a great blueprint for me. The Ma family has always wanted to return to the Central Plains, and I also want to return to my hometown, but it is impossible for me not to know that my imperial brother, who is the current saint, arranged me in Xiliang, doesn't he have ulterior motives? If I am a little careless, I am afraid that the Northwest Army will soon enter the palace of my city, so many years, I can only be an idle prince. He arranged me in the four counties with a small population, just to let me defend the territory for him for the rest of my life. Why am I not convinced?"
Shao Yuan frowned, there is no one who is rich, he has already lost a cut from the bottom alone, the king of the city is not such an unwise person, so Shao Yuan asked, "Lord Wang, what method must the Ma family have, so I can let you cooperate with them"
The king of the city nodded, "That's right, since they are one of the Dingding families of the Ding Sword Pavilion, they naturally know a lot of news, they said that the Jiang family has developed a drug that can make people become very strong without exercising, so I was thinking, if I can fight ten with one enemy, then I can fight one hundred thousand people with ten thousand, thinking of this, this king is naturally moved."
Shao Yuan got in touch, and then he thought, "Isn't it okay for you to find your medicine? Then why do you want to slaughter my village! Kill my master!"
The king of the city smiled lightly, "But the Ma family said that you have the key to finding the Jiang family's medicine there, but it is also interesting, this matter, the Ma family is much more concerned than me." The source of everything is your saber. It is said that your saber, or your master's saber, is made by the Jiang family and can open the Jiang family's secret vault."
Shao Yuan looked at the gray frost blade pinned to his waist with a solemn expression, "This knife again?"
