Bao Baojiao reached out and punched him lightly on the shoulder. Her beautiful eyes looked dazzling in the darkness. She walked forward and reached the end. Looking up, she found that the entrance of the cave went straight upward. Hu Xiaotian retreated:
"It's so high, we're afraid we won't be able to climb up."
Bao Bao said: "How can you give up halfway when doing something? If you don't climb, I will crawl!"
Hu Xiaotian illuminated the four walls with a lantern and found that there were pits at regular intervals at the entrance of the cave, which were obviously places for his hands and feet to climb. This time Bao Bao was brave enough to take the lead again and had already climbed up. After climbing a short distance, he stretched
She gestured to Hu Xiaotian to hand over the lantern to her. Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to climb up with her. The two took turns holding the lantern. Halfway up the climb, the candle was about to burn out. Hu Xiaotian changed another candle, thinking to himself that it was no better than before.
Get a strong flashlight and all problems will be solved.
Climbing up about seven feet, a hole appeared on the right side. Baobao leaned into the hole and looked inside. It was pitch black and couldn't see anything. He took the lantern from Hu Xiaotian's hand and was about to move the lantern closer when he suddenly heard
There was a coughing sound coming from the hole, and she hurriedly blew out the lantern.
But I heard a series of coughs coming from inside. After a while, the coughing stopped. I heard someone say: "Eunuch Li, this is the fifth volume of "Dakang Tongjian" that Mr. Qiu has just completed. Please put it away first."
Already."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't hear clearly, so he climbed up a little further, and his shoulders were already pressed against Bao Bao's thighs.
Bao Bao glared at him in the dark, and had the idea of kicking this guy down, but he was afraid of being exposed, so he could only hold back.
A strange voice said: ""Dakang Tongjian" hehe, but I don't know how Mr. Qiu wrote it." This person is obviously Eunuch Li.
The person who spoke first said: "Of course it's true."
Eunuch Li laughed twice, obviously not believing this sentence at all.
There was light coming in from the hole. Bao Bao lay down in the hole and looked inside, and saw two blurry figures from behind. One of them put down a box of things and said again: "Eunuch Li, I heard that there is Emperor Taizong in this library."
The "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" copied by my own hand, I wonder if I can let you see the sacred relic?"
Eunuch Li laughed mischievously again: "The library has been on fire five times in the past hundred years, and most of the books were destroyed in the fire. The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra you mentioned was indeed stored in the library.
.But seven years ago, the Supreme Emperor sent someone to take it and keep it with him. Many people know this."
"Oh?" The voice sounded a little disappointed.
Li Eunuch said: "The Library Pavilion has long lost its former glory. Commander Liu, let's go."
The light in the hole becomes dimmer and dimmer until it disappears completely.
Bao Bao whispered: "This is the library."
Hu Xiaotian's disdainful voice came from below: "You don't have to say it."
Bao Bao said: "You wait here, I'll climb up and take a look!" Hu Xiaotian had already climbed up before he could respond. He climbed up about two feet and reached the end. He found that there was no passage on the wall to reach the library.
Nei. Then he returned to the ground with disappointment. When he returned to the hole just now, he found that the light was on below, but Hu Xiaotian had already returned to the ground first and relit the lantern.
Bao Bao jumped down three feet from the ground and whispered: "There is no passage up there."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Maybe we dug here."
Bao Bao said: "Strange, why does it lead to the library? Is there any treasure hidden in it?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Anyway, I have no interest in studying. It's getting late. Should we go?"
Bao Bao said: "There are still two passages."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You can't become fat by eating one bite. You have to eat one bite at a time. Things need to be checked one by one. If it takes too long, it will easily arouse suspicion. It's better to go back first."
Although Bao Bao wished she could find out all the secrets of this tunnel at once, she also understood that what Hu Xiaotian said was very reasonable.
For Hu Xiaotian, the only place that had not been investigated was the passage in the middle. Quan De'an gave him an ultimatum. He must find out the secret underground passage within ten days. Hu Xiaotian returned to his room.
I found the map that Wang Desheng left behind. There was a book drawn on the right passage. Wang Desheng had not clearly marked it before. It seems that he may not have had time to find out this place. Recalling the circumstances of Wang Desheng's attack
, he probably entered the underground wine cellar through the secret passage in the middle. The library and the tunnel have not yet been connected, and the secret passage leading to Yaochi has water. If Wang Desheng entered through there, the clothes on his body would
It will definitely all get wet. The only possibility is the secret passage in the middle. On the map, there is no mark on the secret passage in the middle. It is similar to the library pavilion. The only possible explanation is that Wang Desheng discovered that this secret passage is not too
It's been a long time and I haven't had time to tell anyone else.
While Hu Xiaotian was drawing, Shi Xuedong's voice came from outside, but it was someone from Xinning Palace who came to look for him.
The first thing Hu Xiaotian thought of was Wang Decai. Xinning Palace was the residence of Queen Jian, and Wang Decai was the eunuch responsible for serving Queen Jian. When he went out, he saw that it was not Wang Decai, but a eunuch named Zhao Jinxi from Xinning Palace. Zhao Jinxi saw him
Hu Xiaotian smiled brightly and said, "Eunuch Hu! Your Majesty, Zhao Jinxi from Xinning Palace, is so polite."
When Hu Xiaotian saw the other party's clothes, he knew that he was an ordinary eunuch like himself. In the palace, eunuchs also had clear grades. Those with high positions such as Quan De'an, Liu Yuzhang, Ji Feihua, etc.
They are all fourth-grade eunuchs in charge. The ones with lower status are like Hu Xiaotian, a little eunuch with no rank. There are the most eunuchs like him in the palace, but even if they have no rank, there are still distinctions between high and low. On weekdays, they sweep the floor.
Of course, the little eunuch who works as a handyman cannot be compared with the purchasing eunuch who holds real power like Hu Xiaotian, and Hu Xiaotian cannot be compared with the queen's personal eunuch like Zhao Jinxi.
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly stepped forward and held his hands in greeting: "Hello Eunuch Zhao, I didn't know that you are coming to visit us. If you are far away from us, we still hope to atone for your sins. Please sit inside quickly!"
Zhao Jinxi smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Eunuch Hu, I won't go in. The Queen asked me to invite Eunuch Hu to Xinning Palace."
Hu Xiaotian blinked his eyes. He had never had any dealings with Queen Jian. The last time he went to Xinning Palace, Qiqi deceived him under the guise of Queen Jian. Could it be that this girl is doing her old trick again? Hu Xiaotian
Tiandao: "I wonder why the Queen summoned me there?"
Zhao Jinxi smiled and said: "How can I, a slave, dare to ask questions about the Queen? I also ask Eunuch Hu to come with me now. You will know when you get to Xinning Palace."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. Empress Jian personally summoned him. How dare he, a young eunuch, not to go? He said to Zhao Jinxi: "Eunuch Zhao, please go back and resume your duties first. I'll be there after I tell you."
Zhao Jinxi said: "The Queen has said that I must go there with Eunuch Hu, and we will go now."
Hu Xiaotian secretly screamed in his heart that it was probably not a good thing for Empress Jian to find him. He thought about it, called Shi Xuedong aside, and whispered: "Brother Dong, go to Chuxiu Palace quickly and take me to Xinxing."
Tell the little princess about Ning Gong."
Shi Xuedong asked: "How could she be willing to see me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Just say that Hu Xiaotian asked you to come, and she will meet you naturally."
Shi Xuedong nodded and left in a panic.
Hu Xiaotian then returned to Zhao Jinxi and said with a smile: "Eunuch Zhao, let's go." The reason why he asked Shi Xuedong to find Qiqi was because he was worried that Queen Jian would be detrimental to him. Although Qiqi was cunning and weird, she
She should have no intention of harming herself. Currently, in the palace, she is the only one who can ask for help.
Hu Xiaotian followed Zhao Jinxi to Xinning Palace. When he walked into the courtyard of Xinning Palace, he saw Wang Decai standing in front of the door, with an extremely malicious light in his eyes.
Hu Xiaotian secretly screamed that something was wrong. It seemed that it would not be so easy to escape today.
Wang Decai said coldly: "Leave the person to me, the Queen is resting at the moment."
Zhao Jinxi nodded, smiled at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Eunuch Hu, please wait a moment. You should know this Eunuch Wang."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "We know each other, of course we know each other. I wonder if it is the Queen who is looking for me today or the prince and father-in-law who is looking for me today?"
Zhao Jinxi glanced at Wang Decai with a smile. He turned around and left without saying a word.
Wang Decai said: "Of course the Queen is looking for you, Hu Xiaotian, you don't suspect that the Queen is lying, right?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "How dare you, how could the Queen, such a noble person, do such a thing? I'm afraid that some people will use the Queen's name to falsely spread the imperial edict."
Wang Decai said angrily: "How brave! You bastard, if you don't look at what kind of place this is, how can it be a place where you talk nonsense?"
Hu Xiaotian showed no trace of panic, and smiled and said: "The bastard thing was said by the prince, and the one who made such nonsense was also the prince. I didn't even say a single curse word from the beginning to the end."
Wang Decai took a step closer to him and lowered his voice: "Hu Xiaotian, don't think that I don't know your background. You are a son of a traitor who entered the palace begging for mercy to save his life. Look at you, you can't even live like a dog."
Not as good as."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Did Eunuch Wang say that my life is not as good as yours? In fact, the dog beside the Queen is much more noble than me."
"You..." Wang Decai's face turned red with anger. He was far from Hu Xiaotian's opponent based on his words alone.
At this time, a palace maid in a lotus-colored dress walked out and said to Wang Decai: "Xiao Decai, the Queen is asking if anyone is here?"
Wang Decai's face changed very quickly. Just now, he was still full of anger. When he saw the palace maid, he immediately felt a spring breeze in his face. He smiled and said: "Sister Yunxiang, someone is here. I will take him in right now."
Hu Xiaotian also looked at the palace maid with a smile and said: "Hello, Sister Yunxiang, my name is Hu Xiaotian, from Siyuan Bureau. If you want to eat some fresh seasonal fruits or something, just send someone to find me, and I will bring them to you immediately. Let's
Let's get to know each other." This guy stretched out his hand to shake hands with others. The social habits he has developed over the years cannot be changed in a short while.
