Chapter 107: Escape
Jacqueline and the others followed Lin Yan for a short time, and Lin Yan finally stopped.
"Have you arrived at your destination?" Jacqueline and the others looked at the surrounding environment and found that this was just an ordinary garden, and there was a pavilion in the garden, and there was a stone chess table and two stone chairs on the pavilion.
Except for being quieter, this garden is almost no different from all other gardens in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and there is nothing special about it.
Lin Yan knew that time was pressing, so she walked straight to the pavilion without explaining or stopping, and took out two paper bags from her arms and slowly opened them on the chess table.
It is a black and white chess piece with a round and smooth appearance, which is very different from the common chess pieces of Jacqueline and others.
But Jacqueline and the others didn't even ask, after all, time was pressing, and if they came to ask about everything, it would be redundant. Obviously, asking about the usefulness of a pawn is a trivial matter that does not arouse anyone's curiosity without asking.
Lin Yan took out the chess pieces and quickly and solemnly placed them on the chessboard in the order of white and black, but it didn't take long for the chessboard to be densely covered with chess pieces.
And Lin Yan didn't just put the chess pieces on the table, sometimes she actually took away some of the chess pieces on the chessboard, which made Jacqueline and the others look very strange.
In fact, Lin Yan is playing according to a certain chess formation at this time, and only after the whole process is completed, the mechanism here will be activated - in a sense, this method is safer, and it can't be like the cat and dog on TV who accidentally trigger the mechanism.
But before Jacqueline and the others could ask questions, there was a sudden brushing sound, and the chessboard moved, revealing a small black square hole in the ground. Only one person is allowed to enter.
"Come on in, what's the problem as you go. Lin Yan was worried that someone would delay time, and after she said this, she withdrew her chess pieces and took the lead in entering the black ground.
The rest of the people looked at each other. There was no choice but to follow Lin Yan into the cave in the ground.
Soon after everyone walked underground, the chess table was closed again, and the whole garden was as ordinary and inconspicuous as Jacqueline and others had seen before.
Jacqueline and the others entered the crypt under the leadership of Lin Yan. They were walking down a narrow passage, and within a few steps they saw a bright light.
It turns out that the stone wall of the crypt is inlaid with a night pearl, although it is not very bright, but after all, it can also make people see the road.
This crypt looks like no one has used it in a while. The ground was a little damp and a little lubricated, and it was obvious that it was the feeling of moss stepping on your feet.
"What is this place?" Aite asked first, she could see that this crypt was famous, and with Lin Yan's current strength, it was impossible to get it out.
"Hehe, the situation of the Great Zhou Kingdom is a little different from that of the Lion Continent, although under normal circumstances, the first prince finally becomes the emperor, but if any prince is loved by the emperor and has outstanding ability. It is also possible that he will defeat his brother and become emperor. ”
"That's not unusual. "Megath casts a lighting spell that illuminates the entire passageway. Said disapprovingly.
"Well, but such drawbacks are terrible. That is, once a prince eventually becomes emperor, he will inevitably be wary of other brothers, and may even murder the most threatening brothers. ”
"It's cruel, we're all blood relatives, why do that? Isn't there a better way?" Jacqueline frowned. Apparently she was disgusted by what Lin Yan said.
"Hehe, people's hearts are unpredictable. But the old emperor didn't want to see this scene. After all, it's all their own flesh and blood. The fratricidal wound really saddened him. ”
"So with the acquiescence of the old emperor, a prince dug this passage. In order to be able to escape at the most dangerous time? This can explain that although the project is large, the current emperor does not know about it. Aite straightened his glasses, and then Lin Yan's words, "If my guess is correct, that prince must be the most threatening to the current emperor." ”
Lin Yan looked at Aite, showing an approving look, and then carefully glanced at the child in her arms, hoping that this environment did not wake him up: "So, this tunnel is our way out." ”
"The question is......" Aite continued, "how do you know about this tunnel?"
"Because ......"
Lin ...... Queen, is that you?" and at this moment, a man's voice came from below.
Hearing this, everyone quickened their pace and soon reached the bottom of the tunnel.
The bottom floor is much more spacious than the walkway, at least more than enough to accommodate Lin Yan and Jacqueline and others.
And in this place, there is a handsome man in white standing with a sword in his hand, looking at everyone stupidly.
Seeing Aite and Lin Yan, the man looked very surprised, he didn't expect there to be two "Lin Yan", although he could be sure that the graceful woman holding the child should be the real Lin Yan, but who was the other woman who was exactly like her?
When everyone saw the man's sudden appearance, they were also vigilant, and even Megath and Colleen almost threw out the magic they had prepared in their hands.
Seeing the appearance of both sides, Lin Yan hurriedly stopped her partners and explained: "Don't panic, this person is not an enemy, it is he who sued me for this tunnel." ”
After listening to Lin Yan's words, everyone relaxed, but their eyes never left the man, of course, the vigilance in their eyes would definitely not be eliminated.
"Hmm...... If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Tang Zhi you said earlier, right?" Aite straightened his glasses, looked at the man and asked Aite.
"Yes, let me introduce first, this is Tang Zhi, the king of Fuya of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Lin Yan first introduced the lingua franca of the Lion Continent to her partners, and then said to the man in white in the language of the Great Zhou Kingdom, "King Fuya, these people are my classmates and friends. ”
"Huh. Tang Zhi heard Lin Yan's words, smiled, and said in a bitter tone that was about to drip water, "The queen should not be so outward, it is okay for you to call me by my name, if you can, I prefer you to call me by my name on the rivers and lakes - with a smile." ”
That's right, this handsome guy is the famous and talented Tang Zhi of the Great Zhou, and the other identity is Nan Sheng, one of the five heroes on the rivers and lakes.
At the same time, Tang Zhi is also a desperate bitter force, he has always loved Lin Yan deeply, but Lin Yan is his sister-in-law, and she is also the queen of the Great Zhou Kingdom!
Of course, Jacqueline and the others didn't know Tang Zhi's fame, but they knew very well that he was a bitter man, and everyone observed from the way he looked at Lin Yan now, he seemed to be more bitter than the legend.
"Why are you here?" Lin Yan felt very strange, although it was Tang Zhi who revealed this way of life to herself, but even if Tang Zhi was not here, they could escape along the way, why did Tang Zhi do more?
"Because I'm worried...... Zhou Ting. Tang Zhi stiffly replaced "you" with "Zhou Ting".
"He?" Lin Yan heard this name, and her face was solemn, because in her impression, this drooping old man seemed to be powerless, how could he threaten herself?
Seeing the confusion on Lin Yan's face, Tang Zhi sighed: "The main reason why I couldn't fight the eldest brother back then was because his staff had Zhou Ting, please believe me, Zhou Ting is definitely the most terrifying person in the Great Zhou Kingdom." ”
Lin Yan heard Tang Zhi mention this matter for the first time, but she immediately captured the key - it was not only Zhou Ting who supported Tang Jie at the beginning, Lin Yan's father Lin Wenhu was also one of them, but Tang Zhi only talked about Zhou Ting and not Lin Wenhu, which shows that Zhou Ting, an old Confucian, is far more threatening than Lin Wenhu, who holds military power!
