"Meow~"

A cat meowed, disturbing the silence in the secret passage.

Old Pumpkin kept moving his hands, and while he was immersed in his work, he asked: "Is there someone coming? Who is coming?"

The black cat meowed again.

Old Pumpkin sneered, "The commander of the Forbidden Army is here? He is really interested in sending such a person!"

As he said that, Old Pumpkin picked up a blue and white porcelain vase and smashed it on the ground. Then he straightened up and called to Gu Heng who was standing at the door, "Let's go!"

Gu Heng glanced at the person thrown to the ground by Old Pumpkin and the half-broken blue and white porcelain pieces on the ground, "Is this possible?"

Old Pumpkin sneered, "Your Majesty, if he can't do anything else, he just doubts his strength. Don't worry, he can do it very well!"

After coming out of the secret passage, Old Pumpkin casually pressed a spot on the window lattice. Before Gu Heng had time to see where he pressed, he saw a crack in the wall opposite, revealing another secret room. Old Pumpkin pushed Gu Heng.

Bring people in.

"Why are there so many secret rooms?" Gu Heng looked around the new environment in shock.

The decoration of this secret room is magnificent, but it is no worse than the main house in Fengting Mountain, it is just much smaller.

Old Pumpkin pulled up a chair and sat down, and sneered: "King Yu has done a lot of wicked things, and he is always afraid that his life will be in danger. There are only so many secret passages and secret rooms for escape. But no matter how many secret rooms he digs, it will not be enough."

Yan'er gave him a fatal blow that caught him off guard. This secret room has been dug, does he need it?"

Old Pumpkin, who always had a cold look on his eyes and brows, only when he mentioned Yu Yan, his eyes would show a bit of tenderness, a bit of pride, and a bit of guilt.

Gu Heng couldn't bear to see his expression and turned to look aside.

While talking, fierce footsteps and high-pitched voices came from outside.

"Lord Commander, this is King Anbo's private residence. It's not appropriate for you to bring people to search it in the middle of the night!" The person who spoke was the steward of Fengtingshan Villa.

I got up in the middle of the night and my clothes were not neatly dressed.

The commander of the imperial army sneered, "Xiao Jiayuan has been captured, how can you still think about sleeping? It's not appropriate for me to search now. You will know when Yu Yan comes back and you ask! What are you doing in a daze? Search for me

!”

The imperial troops who followed immediately dispersed in all directions.

The steward stood on the side of the commander of the imperial army, with an angry look on his face, "Young Master Xiao has been arrested, why are you searching our place? Not to mention that our young prince is not in Kyoto, even if he is, our prince and Xiao San

The young master is also a good friend, so it is inevitable for the commander to be like this..."

Before the steward could finish speaking, a greeting came from over there.

"Sir, there is something going on here!"

The steward was stunned for a moment, paused in his words, and followed the commander of the Forbidden Army towards that direction. It happened to be the entrance to the secret room. Last time King Yu made a rebellion, the emperor escaped from here. The commander of the Forbidden Army still remembered it clearly. His brows moved slightly, and his eyes

With a sneer, he looked back at the steward and pointed to a broken piece of teacup porcelain on the ground, "What does this mean? Isn't it that Prince Yu is not here? Who has the guts to drink from Ru Kiln's teacup while the master is away?"

Doesn’t it count that you still have to throw the tea after drinking it?”

The steward stared at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, his face changed drastically.

The commander of the imperial army looked at him coldly, "You don't even know there is a thief in your home, so you still have to look after the home and courtyard of Prince Yu? Open that secret passage for me!"

The steward had a gray face, staring at the debris on the ground, muttering vaguely about what was going on, and raised his foot to trigger the mechanism in the secret room.

As the door of the secret passage opened, the Forbidden Army immediately poured in, and a sudden cry came from below, "Who is it!"

The steward's legs softened and he raised his hand to hold the chair next to him, "Sir Young Master Xiao is really here with us? It shouldn't be. No one has come to the courtyard all night."

The commander of the Imperial Guard ignored him and went down the steps.

As soon as I got there, I was immediately shocked by the sight in front of me.

The dragon robe and crown were placed so blatantly in the secret room. The steward who came down was so shocked that he pushed aside the crowd and rushed forward, "How can there be this? It's impossible. I cleaned this place yesterday and I have never seen anything like this before.

Where did it come from? Who wants to frame our prince!"

He was frightened and hoarse.

Turning around, he saw a young man in his twenties with his head drooped, standing there with his neck lifted by the imperial guards. The steward looked at him with wide eyes, "Who are you?"

The man's face was livid, his neck was hunched and he said nothing.

Carrying his Imperial Guard, he said to the Commander of the Imperial Guard: "Sir, when we rushed down, he just got up from the ground with broken porcelain pieces at his feet. He must have heard the noise and wanted to run away, so he knocked down the vase next to him in a panic.

Stumbled."

The Commander of the Forbidden Army looked at him. He was still holding a letter in his hand. For a moment, he subconsciously wanted to hide it, but then the Commander of the Forbidden Army grabbed his arm with his iron pliers and forced him hard.

He relaxed his hand and handed over the letter.

The commander of the forbidden army unfolded it and took a look, and his expression suddenly changed, "Take it away!"

He pointed at the person, then at the dragon robe and crown, and then at the steward, "Take them away together!"

After saying that, he suddenly turned back and looked at a member of the Forbidden Army. It was that person who provided clues and led them all the way here. As soon as the leader of the Forbidden Army looked at the man, the man turned around and ran away.

He stood at the entrance of the secret passage, turned around and almost flew out of the secret passage, touching the mechanism to seal the entrance of the secret passage.

After sealing the secret passage, he quickly left.

Behind him, the door of another secret passage opened, and Old Pumpkin, with Gu Heng and Black Cat, quickly chased after it.

In the forest west of the city.

Changle led his people to look around the place where Dingyuan Hou trained his private soldiers.

From the dock to the edge of the forest, we searched from north to south, and when we were about to plow the entire forest inch by inch, we found a clue in the northeast corner of the forest.

"Does this earth bag look like it has been renovated?" The trees in winter are all bare. The winter moonlight pours on the earth, and the silver glow falls on the ground, which cannot illuminate the obvious color of the earth. Changle squats in front of the earth bag,

After looking at it carefully for a long time, he said, "This forest was used by Marquis Dingyuan to train his troops. The ground has been smoothed out a long time ago, and there is just an extra dirt bag here."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, dropped a handful of soil from his hand, stood up, and said, "dig!"

Chang Le ordered, and the people who came behind him took out their swords and started digging. They were all murderous swords. They were used to dig holes at this time. Although they were overqualified for their use, they dug quickly.

"Underneath is...a coffin!"

When the earth bag was dug up to reveal what was buried underneath, someone immediately exclaimed in a low voice.

Dead soldiers and secret guards all do the work of killing people, but living people are easy to kill. They have to dig up the dead people's coffins. It would be fine if they contain the corpses of their sworn enemies.

Is it necessary to open someone's coffin at the grave?

Several people looked at each other.

Changle stepped forward, touched and knocked on the coffin, "The best red willow wood, ordinary people can't afford this coffin board, and rich people will not be buried in this wilderness, or Dingyuan Hou's family raises private soldiers
