As the end of the year approaches, the wind blowing into Kyoto Prefecture is getting colder.

The entire Kyoto Prefecture does not seem to be desolate because of this coldness. Instead, it is extremely lively because of the recent end of the year. Some people are busy buying New Year's goods, while others are discussing the major events that have happened in Kyoto Prefecture these days.

When it comes to major events, Tianxianglou, which had been closed for three days, finally opened its doors again. However, the matter of Tianxianglou changing its owner did not cause any heated discussion. After all, the young men in Kyoto Prefecture care about the girls in Tianxianglou.

Another thing is that the eldest prince was assassinated, and the person involved was Deng Yue, who had been in trouble in the Kyoto Mansion these days, and the Qilianyu, who was brought back from Linqing Mansion by Xiaoliang Wang Chuci a month ago.

No one knows why Qi Lianyu was with Deng Yue, and no one knows why they both wanted to assassinate the eldest prince. All of this seemed to be a mystery. Some people believed it and began to curse Deng Yue and Qi Lianyu. Some people did not believe it and began to look for the traces of the two. Some people were secretly observing the development and changes of things. After all, this matter revealed an indescribable weirdness.

Outside Kyoto Prefecture, in a long-destroying thatched house, the originally quiet ground suddenly bulged, and there was a heavy knocking sound, coming from there, like a sound from hell. If someone were here, he would have been scared to faint. However, this place should have been abandoned for many years, and the original residents did not know where to move. All that was left was a dusty room and some ruins.

"Crazy--"

A crisp sound came from the thatched hut. The silence that had been covered with dust for many years seemed to be opened at that moment, and the light was projected from outside, and then drove away the darkness in the thatched hut.

Cheng Daren pushed the door from outside and the sound of the floor of the house stopped when he pushed the door and entered, as if it had never appeared before.

"Qi Xuan is still alive. Tsk, I have to go back and notify the second elder," Cheng Daren glanced at the straw house and found that there was nothing unusual. He then turned the long bench on the ground.

I picked it up, "I just didn't expect to meet Shangguan Hao halfway through. I think he should be on the way back to Qingyang Sect at this time. In this way, I have to hurry up."

Cheng Daren didn't care whether the thatched hut was covered with dust. He just sat casually on the long bench he had just picked up, then looked around and said, "There is actually a thatched hut here. Fortunately, it's okay. Although it's a bit dilapidated, it can block the wind and cold. It's not too late to set off after you have enough rest."

As he said that, Cheng Daren took out a piece of dry food from his arms and put it in his mouth to chew it. However, the dry food was dry after all, so he felt a little drunk after chewing it for a while. However, this thatched house had been abandoned for many years and there was nothing that could quench his thirst.

Cheng Daren scratched his head, as if he was a little worried. Then he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an old well in the dilapidated temple, which made Cheng Daren overjoyed.

It was not long to get here from the ruined temple, so Cheng Daren didn't think much about it and got up and walked outside.

Not long after Cheng Daren left the broken thatched house, the sound that had been underground sounded again, and the sound became louder and louder, as if it was about to knock the ground open.

One, two, three...

I don’t know if it took too long to hear a “boom” sound, and instantly the dust flew, filling the entire dilapidated thatched house.

"Old man Yue, your secret passage is long enough." After Qi Lianyu came out of the cave, he complained to Deng Yue while spitting out the weeds that were coming into his mouth.

At this time, Deng Yue also came out of the secret passage, then pulled out a slender weed from his mouth, and said to Qi Lianyu: "Don't complain, after all, this secret passage has been wasted for so long, and it is thankful that we can find it."

Qi Lianyu also knew that Deng Yue was right, so he just smiled and said nothing. He just looked around and confirmed that there was no one here, and then asked Deng Yue: "Since this secret message is from the Zheng family, then Zheng Yanming seems to not know?"

Deng Yue was also confused, shook his head and said, "I don't know this. Logically speaking, after Zheng Lin left Kyoto Prefecture, he should have destroyed the secret passage, but the secret passage is still there, which really surprised me."

When the two were trapped in the Zheng family's study room, Deng Yue remembered this secret thought. It was originally something that happened thirty years ago, but it is not certain whether they are here or not, but they are dead, so Deng Yue took Qi Lianyu out of the other window of the study room.

Zheng Yanming and He Jin, who were surrounded outside, did not expect Deng Yue and Qi Lianyu to escape from the back window, so they did not arrange anyone to guard it there. After all, the back window faced the Zheng family's back garden, and there was no way to go. But what they didn't expect was that there was a secret passage in the Zheng family's home.

After Deng Yue took Qi Lianyu into the secret passage, he kept walking forward, no one dared to stop, and he didn't even look back.

The secret passage was very dark, with only stones stretched out on both sides. It was because they couldn't see clearly that when Deng Yue and Qi Lianyu walked to the end of the secret passage, they no longer knew how many holes had been scraped.

But what they didn't expect was that because the secret passage had been wasted for too long, it seemed that the mechanism of opening the secret passage seemed a little insensitive.

"We won't be caught in the jar, are we?" Qi Lianyu pushed the secret door above his head vigorously, and found that he didn't move at all.

Deng Yue ignored Qi Lianyu's joke and just kept twisting the mechanism hard. However, the mechanism had already rust to death. No matter how much force Deng Yue used, he could not twist it at all.

Seeing that the mechanism could not be twisted, Qi Lianyu smashed it up a few times again.

"Old man Deng, save some effort and let's try to open this damn secret door together."

Deng Yue tried the mechanism a few more times, but still didn't move at all, so he had to give up, then approached Qi Lianyu, and the two of them smashed the secret door above together.

Both of them knew that if the secret door could not be opened, they would really become the turtle in the jar.

After all, it is only a matter of time before the Zheng family finds the secret passage. As long as they follow the secret passage, they will definitely find two of them.
