"Bad person?" Luo Jian took a breath, knowing that the other party was indeed not an ordinary person! Luo Jian, who was fond of reading history books, had seen relevant introductions. Bad people were those with special characteristics selected from those with evil deeds in the Tang Dynasty.
Skilled people were used to investigate and arrest cases. And after re-selection, some of the elites became confidants who independently investigated princes, ministers and generals for the emperor.
"Any more questions?" Liu Zhong glared at Luo Jian, but Luo Jian didn't say anything this time.
"Brother Zhong, what about the other guards? Are they all the emperor's people?" Lin Lanyue asked.
"How is it possible? I am the only one sent by the emperor. But don't worry, they have all been stunned by the sweat medicine and can't wake up for a while. But the night is long and there are many dreams, we must leave immediately!" As he said, he turned and walked towards the secret room where the sarcophagus was placed.
. This time, the few people really didn’t have anything to say, so they followed immediately.
A group of people climbed up the bamboo ladder one by one. After going up, they found that they were at the end of a long corridor. There were two small stone lions placed next to the exit. After all five people came up, Liu Zhong habitually moved one of the stone lions to cover the entrance of the cave.
, and then led them along the corridor.
After walking five or six meters, he turned to the right and walked straight forward for about twenty meters. The corridor turned to the left. Just a few meters after turning around, a huge stone door blocked the way. Liu Zhong put his hand on the stone wall on the right.
Press hard on a hemispherical protrusion on the top, and the stone door opens with a click!
Outside was a wider corridor. Several people walked out of the stone door and continued to move forward. They found that door openings began to appear at random on both sides of the long corridor. They couldn't help but be curious. Luo Jian walked closer and stretched his head to take a look, and found that the space inside was very large.
The walls were filled with gleaming high-quality weapons. "So these rooms are the arsenal prepared by King Shou for the rebellion!" Luo Jian thought to himself, but Liu Zhong dragged him back. Several people did not dare to go any further.
If there was any delay, he quickly moved forward along the corridor, passing several rooms where weapons were hidden. After walking for nearly a hundred meters, another large stone door appeared in front of him, which should be the exit of the armory. Liu Zhong followed suit.
Pressing the switch opened the stone door.
The group of people walked out and found that the corridor outside was very short, with a door opening on each side, and a stone door that did not light up slightly in front of it! Could this be the exit? Everyone followed Liu Zhong and walked quickly towards the last door.
.
After walking a few steps, Li Shilan accidentally looked towards the doorway on the left and saw a stone table inside, with five or six people lying crookedly on it.
"That's right!" Liu Zhong seemed to have remembered something, "Your clothes are not good enough. You have to change, otherwise you will be arrested if you go out!" After saying that, he led them into the room on the left. They saw something on the stone table.
It was full of wine and food, and the aroma was fragrant. Several men in black clothes similar to Liu Zhong were lying on the table, and an old man in gorgeous clothes was also sleeping at his desk. Looking at the ground, there were several people lying in a mess, two of them
The woman who looked like a maid lay prone on the ground, and there seemed to be blood stains on the back of her head.
"Quick! Change your clothes immediately!" Liu Zhong said commandingly.
Seeing Lin Lanyue and Liu Yushuang's shy expressions, they added gently: "Sisters, go to the room opposite and change into the clothes of these two maids. Hurry!"
The four people changed clothes in two rooms respectively.
"It's weird!" After Li Shilan changed her clothes, she turned the clothes over and checked them several times. It seemed like something was missing.
"What's wrong? Can't you find Allan's jade pendant?" Luo Jian asked while adjusting his outer shirt, which was a little too big for him.
"No, the book is missing!" Li Shilan whispered to Luo Jian.
"Book? Ah! My copy seems to be gone too." Luo Jian picked up the clothes and trousers he had changed and rummaged through his pockets but couldn't find it.
The two put down their clothes and turned their attention to Liu Zhong in unison. At this time, he was checking the status of those who were stunned. When he saw Li Shilan and Luo Jian looking at him with suspicion, he said: "What? What was lost?
? I’m not interested in your belongings!”
"Not interested? Huh!" Luo Jian thought to himself, "You are so attentive to my twin sisters even if you are not interested! Of course, she is not an object." Just as he thought of this, Lin Lanyue and Liu Yushuang walked in after changing their clothes.
"Oh my God! It's so beautiful!" Li Shilan exclaimed when she saw the two cute girls in Tang Dynasty costumes.
"Oh, my god! So beautiful!" Luo Jian couldn't help but blurt out a sentence in foreign language.
"What nonsense is he talking about?" Liu Zhong felt confused.
Two girls who were in their youth were sincerely praised by people with different surnames. They were so happy that they lowered their heads shyly.
"Okay, after changing clothes, let's set off quickly! The effect of the drug is almost gone, these people may wake up at any time!" Liu Zhong's words seemed to destroy the tenderness of the young men and women, which was a bit inappropriate, but it was indeed the case.
In such a tight situation, there is no time to give them the time to love their children.
Hearing Liu Zhong say that the Mongolian sweat medicine was about to expire, the four of them had to calm down immediately and did not dare to delay any more. The matter of Li Shilan and Luo Jian losing the ancient book could only be temporarily forgotten.
Several people stepped out of the room and were about to walk towards the exit door. They found a huge stone hanging above their heads!
Lost and found
Li Shilan and Luo Jian and others followed Liu Zhong out of the room where the guard was stunned. As soon as he took a few steps towards the exit door, Luo Jian noticed from the corner of his eye that a four-meter-square stone was hanging on the upper part in front of the exit door. He was immediately frightened.
He jumped! At the same time, he shouted to everyone: "Don't move! There is a trap!" When several people heard this, they stopped and did not dare to move!
"Where is the trap?" Liu Zhong and others looked at Luo Jian in surprise.
"Up there!" Luo Jian pointed at the boulder and said.
When the others looked up, they couldn't help but change their expressions. Only Liu Zhong looked calm.
"It's okay, this is not a trap, come out with me." Liu Zhong was a little anxious. The others looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't move for a moment!
"It's really troublesome!" Liu Zhong was a little annoyed. "Let me tell you, this is a trap set up by King Shou. In case the attempt fails, the people left behind will put down huge rocks to seal the exit! It's not a trap. Come with me!"
"If the incident failed, why would the exit be blocked?" Liu Yushuang asked curiously.
Liu Zhong was anxious, but when he saw that it was Yushuang's sister, he patiently continued to explain: "If King Shou is outside, he can temporarily destroy the evidence of rebellion. If King Shou has entered the secret room, he can block the pursuers and let him enter.
I designed the underground palace and mausoleum myself, saying that I want to live forever or become an immortal or something."
"Brother Zhong, will this stone fall?" Lin Lanyue asked timidly, looking at the boulder.
"No, no, the boulder will fall only if the four mechanisms are pressed at the same time." He pointed at the stone walls on both sides and saw two hemispherical protrusions on each side. "As long as you don't press it yourself, we will
You won’t be crushed by the boulder, don’t you worry?”
"I understand, Brother Zhong!"
"After a while, we are out of the stone gate. You follow me up the steps. The steps are very long. When you reach the ground, you will find a forest. By now, you are already outside the Shou Prince's Mansion. Once you get out of the woods, don't say anything. Just follow my instructions.
."
After hearing this, several people nodded. Liu Zhong then walked towards the stone door. Just as he was about a palm away, he heard someone talking outside.
"Senior brother, if we steal the treasure that holds the mountain, we will be in big trouble this time!" A man who sounded like a man with a formal voice said worriedly.
"Junior brother, I stole the treasure book to present it to the prince. No, from now on I will be the Holy One! What a disaster! I heard that the old man likes to collect ancient books and treasure books. These two books were used by our Yuankong Sect founder to help Taizong achieve his goals.
The secret book is of inestimable value! Your Majesty will definitely like it! Let’s help him accomplish something tonight, and we will enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of our lives! Hahahaha!" said a slightly rough voice, it seemed that he was a senior brother.
"That's what I say, but you don't know about Master's temper! Sooner or later we will be held accountable, and it will be really bad then!" The gentle man lowered his voice and said, "What if the prince tonight - no
OK! What should we do?"
"Junior brother, you are thinking too much! If you don't take some risks now, how can you be a high-ranking official and rich in the future? Besides, we are not popular in the Kongyuan Sect at all. If we continue to stay, we will not survive in this life.
If you don’t stand out! Why don’t you take a big gamble, you say yes or no?”
"Senior brother is right! That's all it has to be now!" The two of them walked down the stairs and were about to reach the door.
Because the environment inside and outside was very quiet, the people inside the door could clearly hear what these two people said just now.
"These two people should be people from the martial arts invited by the prince. I didn't expect to arrive so early!" Liu Zhong thought for a moment and whispered: "From what they said, their status in their sect is not high, and they don't have much ability.
.For a while, you stood on both sides, and I found a chance to deal with them!" Then he opened the stone door.
Outside the door, two tall and thin men in dark green attire had just walked down the last few steps and arrived on the flat ground in front of the door.
"Two heroes, were you invited by the prince to come here to do something today?" He said and made a gesture, which seemed to be a secret signal.
"Exactly, exactly!" The person who spoke was a slightly shorter man, but his voice sounded like that of a senior. He also made a gesture in response.
"You two are here a little early. The younger one will take you two in for a cup of tea and a rest." After saying that, he turned around and led the way. Li Shilan and the other four people lined up on both sides and followed him inside.
"Thank you!" Two people from all walks of life followed behind.
Seeing that the drunk person at the banquet was about to be revealed, Li Shilan and the others were beating drums anxiously, but Liu Zhong suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "That's right! You two, have you brought what the prince wants?"
"Do you want it now?" The two hesitated slightly.
"Yes, the prince invites heroes from all over the world. Firstly, it is to do a big thing with the prince. Secondly, he hopes that all the knights can share their secrets. The prince loves talents and also loves the treasures of the world. If you two have secrets,
Value, the prince will definitely not treat you two badly in the future." Liu Zhong explained humbly.
The two tall and thin men looked at each other, carefully took out a book from their arms, and handed them over.
"Thank you both!" He said, nodding towards Li Shilan and Luo Jian, motioning for them to pick them up.
Li and Luo understood, stepped forward to take the book with both hands, and then stepped aside. Luo Jian lowered his head and saw that the cover of the book had turned yellow, obviously very old, but there was only one word on the cover: "Conspiracy!" He was secretly happy in his heart. He hurriedly winked at Li Shilan. At this time, Li Shilan couldn't look away from the book in his hand, looking at the book with only the word "qi" on the cover with a smile on his face.
