"Didn't you hear singing here just now?" asked an old voice.
"No! You really didn't hear anything!" a young man replied.
"Could it be the sounds made by those two female craftsmen?"
"It's possible, but as you just saw, the two women were tied tightly. Don't worry!" the young man consoled.
"Well, okay. Maybe I'm worrying too much. But you have to know how important tonight is!" the old man warned.
"I understand, I understand, Mr. Ouyang, don't worry! Liu Zhong knows the importance!" It seems that the young man's name is Liu Zhong. "General Manager, please let me talk a lot. You are the prince's confidant. Please tell me, this time
Can our prince succeed?"
"Ahem - do you still have any doubts about this?" The old man was a little unhappy.
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Liu Zhong immediately explained, "I've been with you for so many years. This time the prince is going to do something big, and both your life and mine are at stake! You just
I never thought about what if-"
"You kid, don't you want to live anymore! Just tell me this. If it reaches the ears of the prince, will you still be alive?" The old man struck again.
"Yes, I understand. Don't I regard you as my father's family member?" Liu Zhong was good at flattering me.
"Humph, don't do this with me. However, for the sake of your loyalty over the years, I will just say a few words to you." The old man looked around, "I think the prince is bound to win this time!
"
"How to say it?" Liu Zhong agreed.
"Because our prince is so well prepared! Let's just say that it took seven years to build this underground secret room! You also know how many of the most sophisticated weapons are made now, and how much money is spent including the Mo Dao! Now they are all
It's in place and stored in the armory to the west."
"Yes, yes, yes, weapons are indeed the best at the moment! But weapons alone are useless without people!"
"Why is there no one? You don't know that the elite soldiers in the palace are training secretly every day." The old man rolled his eyes at Liu Zhong.
"But how many people are there? I'm afraid it's not enough to make things happen, right?"
"Ahem - of course there are more than just these people." The old man looked around again and continued, "The prince has also contacted many knights in the world. They have been friends for many years. Now they have entered the city one after another, just waiting for the order tonight.
Got it!"
"And there are knights from the Jianghu to help? The chances of winning are much better!"
"Also, ahem -" the old man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that we have support outside the city. Once the city succeeds, the outside will immediately respond and attack from both inside and outside! Do you think it makes sense? Haha.
Ha ha!"
"Your Majesty's arrangements are really thorough! I am so impressed!" Liu Zhong said sincerely. "But what's the use of the secret room in the middle? They are all ancient books with brocade clothes, jades, and this sarcophagus. What are these for?
?”
"This explains the problem. This part, including the east part, is the mausoleum that the prince built for himself. That means that if he fails, this will be his final destination. He will never surrender or flee."
"Your Majesty has made up his mind to die!"
"What must die? It must win! Besides, even if it is a failure, the prince has other plans. Seeing that there is no shiny black coffin, it is made of a special stone that fell from the sky that the prince found under the guidance of an expert.
I heard you can live forever if you lie down in it."
"Isn't this too mysterious?" Liu Zhong didn't believe it.
"All in all, we have to trust the prince! Don't be half-hearted, you know?" Manager Ouyang concluded.
Li Shilan listened in the sarcophagus for a long time. At first, she thought it was Luo Jian who was causing trouble and playing role-playing with Li Cheng. Later, she heard that the voice was not theirs. In addition, it was said that two female workers were caught, and later she said
The black sarcophagus has magical powers. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became! Moreover, the sarcophagus was covered with a lid and gradually became a little suffocating.
"All in all, we have to trust the prince! Don't be half-hearted, you know?" Manager Ouyang warned.
"Keep it in my heart, little one!"
Just when Li Shilan was getting more and more difficult to breathe, she heard Manager Ouyang say: "Okay, everyone is going to work together tonight. The prince has prepared good wine and food to reward you. He has sent the maid to the west gate of the secret room. Let's go up together.
!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Manager! Please go first!" Then I heard the creak of a ladder. One person climbed up, and then another.
After waiting for a while, Li Shilan pushed the lid of the sarcophagus hard, and finally a gap was exposed. He took a big breath, and when his breath was even, he pushed the lid open and jumped out.
At this moment, a rattling sound was heard, and the lid of the sarcophagus next to him was pushed open a crack. Li Shilan quickly helped and opened the coffin lid completely, and Luo Jian was able to escape.
"Oh my god, this old man is so verbose! Return the prince? Do you want to sing a big show?" Luo Jian was also suffering from hypoxia and came out to complain.
"Keep your voice down!" Li Shilan lowered her voice, "Luo Jian, I have an ominous premonition!"
"Hey, everything in this underground palace is weird! If you have any premonitions, please tell me!" Luo Jian's anger seems to have not been calmed down yet.
"I think we may have traveled through time!" Li Shilan said solemnly.
Luo Jian did not laugh at Li Shilan this time, but raised his neck in a daze. Li Shilan followed Luo Jian's gaze and saw that there was a square exit on the stone wall at the roof, with a bamboo ladder on top. Combined with what he had just seen in the sarcophagus,
Hearing the creaking sound, Li Shilan judged that the two people came up from here.
"This is completely different from the situation before we fell asleep!" Li Shilan walked to the storage shelf again, opened the box, and uncovered the small box of the longevity pill. There were four pills neatly placed inside.
Luo Jian also came over and saw this scene, and was silent for a while, but still couldn't believe that he was back in the Tang Dynasty. He pulled Li Shilan out of the stone room, pointed to the stone door of the secret room next door where books were supposed to be stored, and said: "Look at this room again.
!If the books here are all new, then we will definitely have traveled through time!"
Li Shilan nodded, and the two of them held the stone door with their hands, took a long breath in unison, and then pushed the stone door inwards.
"Ah!" Li Shilan was dazzled by the scene in front of her. "I'm not dreaming, am I?" Luo Jian was also stunned.
What on earth did they see?
In the corner of the secret library, two girls were sitting there against the wall! Their eyes were covered with black cloth, and their mouths were tied with cloth strips. Their upper bodies were tied with hemp ropes, and their feet and ankles were also tied tightly.
There is a little dirt on the legs.
Although her face was partially covered by a strip of cloth, Li Shilan could still tell at a glance that the one with short ear-length hair was the girl with silver bells that he had always dreamed of - Lin Lanyue!
When the two girls heard a sound, they used their noses to scream for help!
When Li Shilan saw this scene, she truly realized what it felt like to feel distressed. Two lines of hot tears flowed down at once.
"Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and help them untie them!" Luo Jian reminded.
The two of them gently untied and removed the strips from the girls' eyes and mouths, for fear of hurting them.
Li Shilan and Lin Lanyue looked at each other, as if time had stood still!
