The "fake Dong Kuang" and Teng Yi, played by Wu Guo, were accompanied by a group of subordinates and Lady Ya's personal guards, riding horses to escort them in the car.
The real Xiang Shaolong and Shanrou were hiding in the carriage.
Both of them changed into waterproof clothing made of deerskin, leaving only their faces, palms and bare feet exposed, a bit like 21st century diving suits.
Xiang Shaolong's suit was originally made by Shanrou for Zhao Zhi. Fortunately, Zhao Zhi was very tall and the deerskin was elastic, so he could still wear it.
In addition to climbing equipment and hidden weapons, the two of them also carried a copper pipe for ventilation in the water.
However, Shanrou still refuses to reveal the method of entering the mansion, so Xiang Shaolong can only keep silent in his heart.
Zhao Ya looked at Xiang Shaolong's bulging muscles under the tight-fitting deerskin clothes, and his strong and muscular body revealed lines full of masculine charm. She was so moved that she ignored the presence of anyone and fell into his arms, panting softly.
Extremely charming and alluring.
Xiang Shaolong touched her warm shoulder with one hand, opened his other arm and said to Shanju: "Sister Rou, won't you come to me?"
Shanrou glared at him, and deliberately moved away, reaching the curtain next to the window and looking out.
Xiang Shaolong had already predicted that she would not be obedient, so the head of the house leaned into Zhao Ya's ear and said, "Has Ya'er thought about it?"
Zhao Yabai was referring to the matter of asking her to leave Zhao first, and responded in a pleading tone: "Is this okay? They will stay for a while after you leave, and then they will sneak away to meet you somewhere. It would be terrible if someone didn't know your safety.
If you run away, just worrying about it will make Zhao Ya worried to death."
Xiang Shaolong frowned and said: "If your brother Wang suddenly dies and the power falls into the hands of Queen Jing, will she let you go? Then I will return to Xianyang and be out of reach, how can I help you?"
Zhao Ya said disdainfully: "She has not hidden her position, why should she deal with me? Besides, she is Korean all the time. If she attacks someone from our royal family just after she comes on stage, how can the princes and ministers let her be teased? If I want
Let's go, it's too late for her to welcome her. Shaolong is afraid of other things." After saying the last two sentences, his voice became deeper.
Shanrou seemed unclear and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhao Ya, can you speak louder?"
The two of them laughed and laughed about it.
Xiang Shaolong ignored her and turned to Zhao Ya: "What is Ya'er afraid of?"
Zhao Ya hugged him tightly and said sadly, "I'm afraid that others won't forgive me."
Xiang Shaolong actually had this problem all the time, so he could only comfort her and said: "I will do a lot of work for you after returning to Xianyang. Princess Tingfang and Princess Qian are both innocent people and will not hold grudges. Others don't have to worry about this.
It’s called general atonement.”
At this time, Teng Yi's voice came from outside the car: "We are about to pass by the Hou Mansion. Oh, it's so exciting, the enemy of Tian Dan's motorcade is here."
The conversation in the car stopped, Xiang Shan and the two hid in a corner, while Mrs. Ya raised the curtains and looked out.
Tian Dan's motorcade arrived slowly, and both parties stopped slowly.
Dong Kuang of Wuguo and Teng Yi came over to greet Tian Dan.
Tian Dan appeared behind the raised curtains and laughed loudly: "General Dong, thank you for your hard work. We idlers go to drink and have fun, but you are busy day and night. However, human physical strength has its limit. General Dong, don't be too busy."
"
Wu Guo imitated Xiang Shaolong's voice and said with a calm smile: "I am born a rough and mean person. The busier I am, the more energetic I become. Xie Tianguan is concerned." No matter the voice, posture, or intonation, they are all lifelike and perfect.
People will fall.
With Tian Dan's sharp eyes, he could not see any flaws under the light of the constantly flashing lantern. After smiling, he looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Madam, you have been radiant and energetic these days. Can you tell Tian about it?"
Any tips?"
Everyone was stunned, knowing that there was something behind Tian Dan's words, and he was testing Zhao Ya's tone.
Zhao Ya had her own way of doing it, and said with a sweet smile: "Zhao Ya doesn't laugh at others because of Li Tianxiang." After saying this, she lowered her hands behind the curtain.
Tian Dan laughed heartily, said hello to "Dong Kuang" and Teng Yi, and gave the order to set off.
The two large groups of people and horses passed by each other.
Xiang Shaolong gestured to Shanrou.
It's time to get off the bus.
The two of them took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into the jungle southwest of the Hou Mansion without anyone noticing.
Xiang Shaolong didn't even know what kind of medicine was sold in Shanrou's gourd. He didn't understand it until he followed her to a small river.
Shanrou pulled him and squatted down and said: "Any house with a pond must have a water inlet and outlet. This is my Shanrou's big secret. This is where I sneaked into the big pond in the traitor's house on my last trip.
, if we are lucky, maybe we can go to the artificial river in Bitao Garden?"
After saying this, he looked at Xiang Shaolong proudly.
Xiang Shaolong said: "This place is a hundred feet away from the Marquis Mansion, how can we get some fresh air?"
Shanrou glanced at him and said angrily: "You are really stupid, you can go in, there is a way to ventilate, is that copper pipe given to you for free? Unless it has just rained heavily, otherwise the river and the top of the large canal entering the house will
There is always a small gap between the pipes. As long as one end of the copper pipe is held in the mouth and the other end sticks out of the water, wouldn't it solve the problem?"
Xiang Shaolong was impressed in his heart, but also angry in his heart. He suddenly leaned over and sealed her lips, grabbed her back with one hand and forced her to kiss her. Shanrou was caught off guard and kissed him, catching him off guard.
After struggling for a few times, she responded enthusiastically. Xiang Shaolong, with a revengeful attitude, put his hand on her chest, then opened her hand and said: "This is a reward."
Shanrou was so upset by him that he blushed, Zuo was filled with love again, gave him a fierce look, and jumped into the river first.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them passed through a dark water channel about three feet square, advancing slowly in absolute darkness.
Xiang Shaolong felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Every time he went about his night walks, he had a feeling of light turning from light to dark.
It's like the two worlds of light and dark exist side by side, but most people only know how to live in the bright world and know nothing about this ghostly dark world.
This time I came to this waterway that was so dark that I could only move by touch, and there was no sound. The feeling was particularly strong.
This other world, which is thrilling at every step, full of danger and excitement, does have its allure.
After a cup of hot tea, the two went out through the water outlet and arrived at the lotus pond in the large garden behind the mansion. The water surface emerged under a small bridge.
There are many courtyards in this place, the sky is full of stars, the moon is misty, and the pond frogs come out of the "gege" to cry, which is another kind of atmosphere.
In the distance, a group of palace guards patrolled along the pond. The two of them took a closer look. What particularly attracted their attention were two large green lights, which were extremely strange.
Xiang Shaolong was startled and hurriedly pulled Shanrou into the water.
His heart was throbbing.
Those two green lights were the eyes of the dogs reflecting the nearby lights. It seemed that these giant dogs, which were supposed to be released to patrol the mansion in the dead of night, were sent out early to strengthen the guard due to the arrival of Tian Dan and others.
After the patrolmen crossed the bridge and left, the two men emerged from the water again. Shanrou whispered: "Well, there are these beasts on the shore. We can only reach them through the water channel. If Wokexuan also put two
The vicious dogs were there, so we had to go home and sleep."
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but feel discouraged, but it was a pity to give up halfway. He tried his best to cheer up, and after confirming the direction of Bitao Garden with Shanrou, they dived into the pool separately.
Xiang Shaolong had received strict diving training and moved like a fish in the dark water. With the subtle feeling of the water flowing in the pool, he found a water outlet in a short time. When he surfaced and met Shanrou, the two of them were happy at the same time:
"Found it" but couldn't help but shout that it was not good.
Which water can lead to Bitao Garden? Or does it not lead there? No one can be sure about this. What's more terrible is that these two dark water channels are located at the bottom of the pool, with no breathing space at all. Suppose it can't
If a breath of air comes out from the other side, it will be suffocated to death, which is completely unjust.
Xiang Shaolong was so impatient that he bit Shanrou's ear and said: "Let's enter the waterway separately, test the direction of the waterway and turn back immediately, don't show off."
Shanrou went as ordered.
After Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath, he dived into the water and passed through the water channel. After advancing about ten feet, he felt that the water channel was bending to the left. He quickly pressed on the bottom of the channel made of square stones and quickly exited. In this narrow
In space, it is difficult to turn around.
Shan Judao: "I swam a full two feet, and there seems to be no problem in the direction ahead. But this is the least step away from Bitao Garden. How can we swim so far in one breath?"
Xiang Shaolong thought about the silk picture that Pu Bu gave him from his memory, and said: "There is a pond from here to Bitao Garden. I think the waterway should lead to that pond first."
A person as strong as Shanrou couldn't help but feel discouraged and said: "Even if the pond is just in the middle, it is more than a hundred steps away from here, and we still can't get there."
Xiang Shaolong was quick to think and said: "I have an idea. As long as we wrap one end of the copper pipe and press the other end tightly with our hands, the remaining air in the pipe will be enough for us to change the air two or three times. Isn't it possible to sneak there?"
Going to the side?"
Shanrou's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said, "It turns out you are not too stupid, but what do you use to wrap the mouth of the tube?"
Xiang Shaolong said maliciously: "I only have a pair of shorts in my leather jacket. Are you wearing anything underneath?"
Shanrou said in embarrassment: "You lecherous devil, oh"
Xiang Shaolong pulled her to the rockery in the center of the pool, unbuttoned her lapels, reached inside, slid his fingers inside her clothes to enjoy the pleasure of killing her, and then tore off a large section of her underwear.
Shan Rou was surprisingly docile and didn't say anything bad. Either the governor was unavoidable and he had no choice but to accept his fate. Or maybe he would have sacrificed anything to kill Zhao Mutiandan. What's more, the biggest advantage had already been given to this man.
Watching Xiang Shaolong tear open the cloth and tie the tube tightly, he asked doubtfully: "Will it leak?" It was a matter of life and death, and she couldn't help but become concerned.
Xiang Shaolong said with confidence: "It is wrapped in three layers of cloth. Even if it gets wet, a little air may leak out, but by then we have already got out through the exit over there."
The two of them swam to the water at the entrance, took a deep breath, pressed the unbandaged end of the tube tightly with their hands, and led the way into the waterway with Shanrou leading the way.
The two of them moved in quickly.
After swimming about thirty steps, the two of them took a breath for the first time. By the time they took a second breath, they were already dizzy. They couldn't care about things far or near. They felt that the air in their tubes had been exhausted in one gulp. They were so frightened that they desperately tried their best.
Travel forward.
The exit appears in front, with a halo visible.
Overjoyed, the two of them got out, floated to the surface, and leaned against the shore to inhale the fresh air that they usually didn't care about.
Surrounded by trees, flowers, ponds, rockery and pavilions, it is a smaller garden with a pretty good layout.
Every time Xiang Shaolong comes to the Hou Mansion, his activities are limited to a few main buildings. He never expected that there would be such an elegant place.
The garden was lonely, with no sound of people, only a few wind lanterns hung, bathing the pond in the pale yellow moonlight.
Shanrou gasped and said: "It's even worse this time. We only swam a few steps at most. From here to the artificial river in Bitao Garden, there is at least two hundred steps or more. The distance is not yet certain.
How can there be enough air in the copper pipe?”
Xiang Shaolong was also troubled by this problem. He looked at Shanrou blankly and suddenly had an idea: "Kiss me and I will think of a solution."
Shanrou was stunned for a long time, lowered her head and whispered: "If you lie to me, I will kill you." She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard, and it was hard to leave. The man and woman sank into the water, and their tongues continued to be entangled.
When he couldn't hold on any longer, he surfaced again, and the patrolman had already left.
Both of them had unforgettable emotions, especially in such a crisis-ridden environment.
Shanrou hugged him tightly and gasped: "Say it quickly."
Xiang Shaolong said: "If we cut off the hood and tie it tightly with a piece of cloth, wouldn't it give us a few more breaths?"
Shanrou was so happy that she kissed him on both cheeks and said, "You are worthy of being my first man, Shanrou. But now that I am in charge of Zhao, people don't believe your gestures."
Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "What about the first man? Will your eldest lady have a second or third man?"
Shanrou said matter-of-factly: "You men can have many women, why can women have many men?"
Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said: "Then who dares to marry you?"
Shanrou wrinkled her nose, made a face and said: "Who wants to get married? The world is so big, if I kill Zhao Mutiandan, I will wander around, or I will come to you when I am tired. Do you want someone to marry you then?"
It doesn’t matter.”
Xiang Shaolong felt that he really liked her. Compared to others, she was closer to a strong and independent woman in the 21st century.
Shanrou stopped paying attention to him, pulled out the dagger from the leather pouch on her arm, and started working.
Due to the experience of going to Zhao, the two of them were much more careful when ventilating. They dived through the twenty-foot underground water channel with ease, arrived at the artificial river in Bitao Garden, and quietly walked from the bottom of the river to the sleeping room in the center of the garden.
Xuan dived over.
This artificial river is about ten feet wide and winds around the pavilion. On both sides of the bank are pavilions, pavilions, flowers and trees, small bridges, and endless beautiful scenery.
The guards are also much tighter. The main passage leading to Wokexuan is hung with lanterns and full of guards. There are people pulling giant dogs patrolling the park. If it weren't for this underwater passage, Xiang Shaolong would have been equipped with the equipment of the 21st century.
, if you want to reach here without anyone knowing, it will be even harder than reaching heaven.
The section of the river closest to Wokexuan was only a few feet away. After observing the situation, the two found the location of the secret sentry and emerged from the water under a bridge.
Xiang Shaolong saw that there were no vicious dogs nearby, signaled to Shanrou, and sprang out from under the bridge. Using the cover of the flowers, he quickly rushed to a closed window next to the pavilion. Xiang Shaolong pulled out the
A steel needle was inserted through the gap and opened the window latch.
The two quickly climbed into the house, closed the window and door, and unlatched the window. They both felt exhausted and moved to a corner to sit down against the wall.
Shanrou lit the fire, and Xiang Shaolong hurriedly covered it with both hands to prevent the fire from leaking out.
In the dim light of the fire, the environment inside the pavilion gradually became clearer.
The interior of the pavilion is elegantly decorated, and the huge space contains more than twenty exquisite wooden cabinets, displaying all kinds of treasures.
The center of the pavilion was covered with carpet, and four comfortable sleeping tables covered with animal skins were placed around a large square table.
When Xiang Shaolong was secretly praising Zhao Mu for enjoying it, Xirou said happily: "Look"
Xiang Shaolong followed her fingers and saw a large iron box about five feet high placed on two of the curio shelves, which was in no way in harmony with the entire environment.
Shanrou touched the huge lock that locked the iron box and said distressedly: "This is the first time I have seen this kind of lock. How can I open it?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Let me, the master of unlocking, take a look."
He just grabbed the lock in his hand, but before he could take a closer look, a voice suddenly came from outside the main door.
Shanrou glanced around and called out: "Go up the crossbar" and pulled out the tube for shooting the hook.
The sound of the door opening came just now.
Xiang Shaolong patted her hand to extinguish the flames, Shanrou shot out the hook, and accurately hung it tightly on the large beam on the top of the pavilion.
In the darkness, Xiang Shaolong didn't dare to take out the hook rashly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hold me." He grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Shanrou knew that the situation was critical, so she jumped up and hugged his waist tightly, entrusting her fate into his hands.
The door opened, and someone shouted: "Light the lamp and open the window, the Marquis and his guests are coming soon."
Xiang Shaolong screamed that he was unlucky, and used all his strength to climb up, while Shanrou kept retracting the rope under his body.
The light next to the door came on.
More than a dozen palace guards walked in. If anyone looked up at this moment, they were guaranteed to be nowhere to be found.
Fortunately, what they were thinking about at this time was either lighting a lamp or opening a window, so no one had time to look at the roof.
When the two of them had just recovered from their shock and were lying in the gap between the beams and tile trusses, it was already brightly lit below, and fresh air poured in through the windows and doors, driving away the stuffy atmosphere in the pavilion.
Shanrou brought her mouth to his and kissed him to show her appreciation.
The sound of footsteps sounded, followed by Zhao Mu's voice: "You all, please get out of here."
The hearts of Xiang Shan and Xiang Shan were racing. They knew that Zhao Mu was going to bring Tian Dan and Li Yuan here, and he must have wanted to show them the batch of loyal people who could show their strength. Maybe there was something important to discuss.
