Chapter 334 Enemy in the Secret Path
Outside the high wall of the royal beaver mansion.
While it was dark, Honglian entered through the wall with a slight flash. She had already got the drawings here in advance. Fortunately, although the mansion is large, the architectural structure is not complicated. Her speed and lightness are comparable to a gust of midsummer breeze. Even if it comes head-on, it is extremely difficult to detect her existence.
She looked roughly in the first courtyard. With her intuition, the entrance to the secret aisle was not in this place, so she continued to go deep into the hall, then wandered a little in the second courtyard full of green bamboo, and then focused on the room on the cloister. She searched one by one along the corridor, and one room was the first to attract her attention.
The door of that room is locked, and the window is also sealed. She tried to enter through the wall. On the surface, it looked like a utility room, but in fact, there was a mezzanine hidden in the wall facing the door. Honglian entered another space behind the mezzanine with great interest, but found that it was actually the treasure pavilion of the royal beaver. In addition to the accumulation of gold, silver and jewelry, there were also many precious medicinal materials. Any of these medicinal materials can be said to be of great value.
She couldn't figure out why the prince had a hobby of collecting expensive medicinal materials, but it turned out that her guess just now was wrong, and the work of finding the entrance to the secret channel had to start all over again. She left the treasure pavilion and looked for the back room.
Another room aroused her interest. This room is adjacent to the one of the royal beaver, but the furnishings in the room are much more exquisite than those of the prince himself. In addition to luxury, it is also very comfortable. It can be seen that the people who decorate this room are very attentive.
Honglian quietly entered through the wall, and the room was separated into two spaces with curtains. The place where the door was just entered was similar to the study. The red sandalwood furniture exuded a burst of fragrance. There were not many books on the shelf, but most of them were occupied by all kinds of interesting things, such as ghost chess, as well as human dice, playing cards and hemp. In addition, there are some small people carved in wood.
At this time, the curtain is hanging down, so Honglian is not sure whether there is anyone behind it. She listened carefully through the curtain and found that even the slightest breathing was not caught by her, so she lifted the curtain into the area of the bedroom. The furnishings here are much simpler than the outside, with only a round table, a chair and an exquisite carved wooden bed.
Honglian touched the lamp on the table warily and found that there was still residual temperature on it, which showed that there was someone in this room not long ago. Will that person return to this room at any time? He is alive and says that he is still hiding somewhere in the house? She mentioned the spirit of 100,000 points. While looking for possible entrances to the secret channel, she was alsoware of enemies who might appear at any time.
Every corner of the floor was knocked by her, and there was no echo. Just as she was about to give up the room, the carved wooden bed came into her eyes. ** The satin quilt is reflected by a thin layer of light by the bright moon outside the window, which makes it difficult to remove their eyes from it.
With experience, Honglian touched along the edge of the bed and the four corners, and finally touched a raised mechanism. With just a gentle press, the bed board began to flip, revealing the secret entrance below. She jumped into the secret passage and released a ghost fire lighting. First, she passed through a downward slope, and then entered the flat area. She planned to leave directly from the other end of the secret road, which could also confirm that the secret road did lead to somewhere outside Wangcheng.
Unexpectedly, she heard footsteps after walking for a while. She stopped to distinguish carefully and found that the footsteps were actually coming towards her. She quickly called out her two dragon's iron whips and was ready to fight at any time. A tall and thin man soon appeared opposite her. The man was young and beautiful, wearing light green clothes and trousers.
Honglian was sure that this was a completely strange face, so she scolded, "Who are you?"
The man's face seemed to be smiling and asked her, "The person who casually broke into someone else's house is obviously you. Why did you ask me first?"
"Since it appears in this secret channel, it means that there must be a connection between you and Qingyun, and I don't have to talk nonsense with you!" Honglian raised the weapon in her hand and was ready to attack at any time.
"Don't you even give me the time to report your name? It's really worthy of being a subordinate of the demon king fox. It's always the same rude!"
After saying that, the man raised his hand gently, and the demon fire thrown by Honglian was suddenly sucked into the palm of his hand. He held his hand, and the whole secret channel darkened in an instant. Before Honglian's reaction, a fishy and sweet smell came. She exclaimed, "No, it's poisonous!"
Then she felt dizzy, and had to resist the pouring of poison gas with her own strength and retreated. She was even a little in a trance, and her reaction slowed down. Unexpectedly, she didn't feel the hidden weapon released by the other party. In the process of retreating, there were several steel needles on her body. The steel needle also seemed to be very poisonous. After only a few steps, her legs began to weaken.
Just when she thought she was going to die this time, a big hand grabbed her tightly and quickly left the secret channel with him, but she didn't even have the strength to see the benefactor who saved her life. As soon as she inhaled the fresh air outside the secret channel, she fell into a coma.
When he woke up again, it was Changfeng in front of him. Seeing her open his eyes, he sighed deeply and said, "You finally woke up. Do you know how long you have been in a coma?"
Honglian shook her head weakly.
"What kind of poison will have such a great effect on you for three days?" Chang Feng frowned and asked.
It makes sense for him to ask this question. As a ghost clan, Honglian's reaction to poison is far lower than that of demons. For her, ordinary toxins will produce a slight numbness similar to drinking a small glass of wine. It is not easy to poison her.
"Secret Path... I know!" Honglian insisted on saying a few words.
Really?! It seems that there is really a secret road in the mansion of the prince Yuli.
"You... go first... inform Lord Hongye!" Honglian urged.
"Okay, where is the entrance to the secret channel?"
"In..."
Before Honglian's words were spoken, Ouyang Hongye came in from outside the door. He was quite shocked to learn that she was poisoned, because Honglian has always been good at hiding her whereabouts, and her combat effectiveness is not bad. The person who can subdue her must be very capable. But in fact, Honglian herself knew in her heart that the person who seriously injured her was deliberately hiding in the secret channel and waiting for her to come. He was very familiar with the secret channel and decisive, so he took the lead.
Seeing Ouyang Hongye coming in, Honglian wanted to support her body from **, but was stopped by him. He gently pressed her and said, "Lie down! There is no need to salute!"
"Lord Hongye, Honglian said that she had found the secret way!" Changfeng quickly reported to Ouyang Hongye.
"Sure enough..." Ouyang Hongye nodded and answered thoughtfully.
At this time, Honglian's strength recovered a little. She drank a few mouthfuls of water with the help of Changfeng, and then told Ouyang Hongye what she experienced after entering the prince's mansion at a very slow speed.
"You mean someone rescued you from the secret channel?" Ouyang Hongye asked inconceivably.
"Exact" Honglian answered softly.
"Don't you see this person's appearance clearly? What about the sound? Did he talk to you?" Ouyang Hongye asked.
"No, it was really dark in the secret channel. As soon as I left the secret channel, I fell into a coma."
"Well, since this person appeared in the mansion of the prince Yuli, he clearly knew where the secret path was, which showed that he must be related to the whole thing. Now that it has been confirmed that the entrance to the secret road does exist in the mansion of the royal beaver, we are equivalent to mastering a trump card. I will immediately go to the demon king fox and the two elders, and discuss the next countermeasures with them. Honglian, have a good rest. Thank you for your hard work this time!"
Ouyang Hongye said goodbye to Honglian and Changfeng, rushed to the Chenji Palace, thinking about how to deal with this matter. The good relationship between the second elder lion Wang Cheng and the prince Yuli is bound to put him in an embarrassing situation, and the fact that an important prince is proved to be a traitor will also have an impact on the kingship that Ouyang Xiaolan has just stabilized, all of which he has to consider.
In the mansion of the royal beaver, Lan Zhu, the son of Lan Ruoqing, was standing alone in the green bamboo, as if waiting for someone. Soon after, a tall figure appeared behind him.
"Godfather, you are here!" Lan Zhu turned around and said with a smile.
His eyes still look the same as when he was a child. He is so innocent that it is difficult to associate him with the one who almost killed the demon king fox with a few simple moves in the secret channel.
"Why did you kill the woman just now?" Wanghou Yuyu questioned.
"She has found the secret way. If she is put back, she will definitely report you to the demon king fox!" Lan Zhu defended himself.
"Your illness has been cured, and I don't have any worries. Let her report me. You and I both know that there will be this day sooner or later!" Wang Hou Yuli put his palm on Lan Zhu's shoulder and said that although he finally got rid of his stubborn disease, he was still very thin.
"I will never let you take the name of a traitor. As long as I still have a breath, I will protect your reputation and safety." Lan Zhu's tone was full of anger.
"Did you really do this for me?! Or..." The prince Yuci was puzzled.
"Dearly father, are you doubting Zhuer?"
"No... You're still young. I just hope you can put down all that hatred and live a happy life! Even if I am caught, I will sincerely plead with the demon king fox and the second elder lion king to let you go. I will leave everything I have to you!"
"If you are gone, I won't take any of this money!" I will never forgive those people in the king's city. How can they get rid of my father who is loyal to the king's city? How do you want me to let go of the revenge of killing my father? If they even have you... then I will be at will be at will with them!"
