"This is..." Song Jue was the closest, curiously peeking inside and then outside the door, "The secret room within the secret room?"

"This should be a secret room, but this courtyard should not be counted. When this courtyard was built, it was also to prevent others from discovering it. And here..." Tantai Pingchuan motioned Song Jue to stand back, "They should be alone together. place."

"Them? Alone?" Song Jue took two steps back, "Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong?"

"Your Majesty, don't be opportunistic!" Tantai Pingchuan waved his hand, "As I said just now, you should discover by yourselves what kind of relationship they have, see with your own eyes, and judge with your brains."

"I know, I know." Song Jue made a gesture to indicate that he would not mention it again, "You please continue."

Tantai Pingchuan smiled at him and waved to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Song Qiyun and a few shadows.

"You guys come in with us first, and let's take a look at the situation inside." He looked at Song Jue, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Lord Jin will wait for our signal and confirm that everything is OK before you come in."

"good."

Song Jue and Song Yaojia looked at each other. They had no objections to this arrangement. It would be best for the two of them to stay here with Jin Miaomiao and the guards who knew nothing about these little fools. If they met inside If something shouldn't be touched, if something happens, it will still cause trouble for everyone. Rather than doing this, it's better to stay here in a down-to-earth manner!

"Don't worry, I won't bore you." Jin Miaomiao patted the Song brothers on the shoulders, "I just have something to tell you."

"OK!"

"Uncle Qing, please stay here and don't come in. This place is not suitable for you." Tantai Pingchuan looked at Mei Lin and raised his eyebrows at her, "Stay with him."

Before leaving the Duke's Mansion, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha had made it clear to the guards and the shadows that after entering the other courtyard, they must listen to Mr. Tantai. He is better than anyone else in cracking the mechanism. It's experienced.

Therefore, when he heard that Tantai Pingchuan asked him to accompany Uncle Qing, Merlin readily agreed without even stuttering.

Since he wanted to stay in this house, no one would tolerate such a mess here. Uncle Qing confirmed with Tantai Pingchuan that there were no other institutions in the house except the Duobao Pavilion, so he sent Song Jue, Song Yaojia and Jin Miaomiao invited him to the courtyard, and he took Meilin and several guards to start cleaning up the house.

Song Jue dragged Song Yaojia and Jin Miaomiao to find a shady place outside. Shadow had already moved a set of tables and chairs for them from the front yard, and even cooked tea and set out refreshments.

"Come!" Jin Miaomiao raised her chin towards Song Jue, "Stretch out your arms."

Here Jin Miaomiao is helping Song Jue and Song Yaojia take their pulse, while over there Tantai Pingchuan has led Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Song Qiyun into the secret room.

Because the secret room was dark inside, several people lit several lanterns before entering, illuminating the entire secret room as if it were daytime.

This was something Shen Cha came up with on the spur of the moment before going out. She originally brought a fire certificate, but she was worried that there would be a cellar or something like that, so she asked Ying Wu to bring a few extra lanterns, just in case.

This lamp was specially made by their Shen Jiajun craftsmen. Even strong winds that could blow off the roof would not blow out the lamp.

"This lamp is good." Tantai Pingchuan is an expert. As soon as he got the lamp, he knew that it was no ordinary product. "It can withstand the wind and sand at the border."

"At certain times, it can scare off the enemy." Song Qiyun bared his teeth. "On several occasions, Jin and Liao sneak attacks were frightened off by this lamp. On a dark and windy night, this lamp can illuminate every star and moon in the sky. When it's not there, it's shadowy and looks like a will-o'-the-wisp from a distance."

"That's actually the purpose of making this lamp, right?"

Seeing several children laughing, Tantai Pingchuan shook his head helplessly, he knew this would happen.

He held up a lamp and walked inside with a few children. Only then did he realize that the back of Duobao Pavilion was not a secret room, but a secret passage.

This secret passage is very long and has three turns. The first two turns are left and the last one is right. It takes about half a stick of incense. After the last right turn, I walked almost three hundred steps. I saw a copper door in front of me.

"Are we..." Shen Cha recalled the path he just walked, "Are we in the backyard?"

"Yeah!" Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "It should be in this direction. The reason why we turned left twice is to avoid a pond above."

"This door..." Shen Cha took Shen Haolin two steps forward and looked at the heavy door carefully, "How should I open it? It looks like a cluster of fire on top, right?"

"Yes!" Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "You know that Prince Tong holds military power, and his elite soldiers are the most capable in the entire previous dynasty, right?"

"Yes, I remember that the symbol on his royal flag is a cluster of flames." Shen Cha held up the lamp in his hand and looked at the blazing fire pattern carefully, "It looks like it, but it doesn't quite look like it."

"Emperor Chongde's imperial flag is also a flame. This should be the fusion of their two totems." Shen Haolin glanced at Tantai Pingchuan, "If we open this door, can we see the secret room?"

"Well!" Tantai Pingchuan came over and motioned for Shen Haolin and Shen Cha to stand back and walked to the door. He did not touch it first, but carefully touched every corner and every corner. He looked at each carving carefully. "The decorations of these two fireworks are different from the others. They should be the location of the mechanism." He took out a few veils from his waist and gave them to others. After wearing them himself, he added Helping others tie it up, "This is my first time here too. I'm not sure what will happen when and after opening this door. You must be prepared to run."

"What will happen?" Song Qiyun looked at Tantai Pingchuan curiously, "Poison smoke? Poison arrows? Thousands of arrows fired at once?"

"Poison smoke and poison arrows are unlikely, because they themselves may accidentally touch the mechanism, so they can't hurt themselves, right?" Tantai Pingchuan shrugged, "But who knows? It's not easy to figure out the thoughts of those two people. "

"It's okay, just drive boldly!" Song Qiyun patted himself, "We are all wearing soft armor, we are not afraid."

"good!"

Tantai Pingchuan saw that they had retreated to a slightly safer area, and then he started to touch the door. He did not touch the pattern of the flame at first, but circled around the flame. .

After confirming that other places around him were safe, he tentatively touched the flame pattern, focusing especially on the two ones he thought were suspicious.

After groping for a while, his hand suddenly stopped and he turned around and raised his eyebrows at a few people.
