Chapter 77 Deep into the Tiger's Lair
Ningwang Mansion is quite magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, deep, wide and diverse - the buildings are divided into three roads, west and east, all of which are a series of multi-entry quadrangle courtyards. Of course, the middle road is the most important architectural center, leading directly to the hall, which is absolutely royal palace style; the middle road garden is also divided into three roads, including rockery, winding pavilions and artificial lakes. Living in such a luxurious prince's mansion and being a free prince is the dream of the whole world!
Wang Shouren ate and drank well in the prince's mansion for a day. At night, he lay energetically ** - he decided to dig out the secret of the royal palace! The mysteries that have haunted him for a long time should take this opportunity to solve them one by one!
There are not many days he intends to stay, and three days is the limit. It's not a matter for a wet nurse to come and stay, so in order not to let Ning Wang doubt and bring unexpected danger to Su Zhen, he only gave himself three days.
Surely, as Gao Daquan said: The whole palace is quite quiet during the day. Ning Wang slept all day, and only a few close family members were left in the house to take care of. At night, the black shadows of three or threes were like scorpions. They came out day and night and came out to stroll around - these people blew the lamp and could see clearly through the moonlight!
After observing for a while, Wang Shouren found that these seemingly wandering people were actually patrolling with targets, and then the number of people was smaller than one, and in the end they disappeared out of thin air! Wang Shouren rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at it again, there were three or five people standing there... evil! What the hell is this situation!
Suddenly, a pair of hands behind him touched his shoulder... Wang Shouren shouted, "Ah!"
When he turned around and looked, a wooden family was standing in front of him. By the moonlight, Wang Shouren found that his face was extremely pale!
Wang Shouren asked in shock, "Who the hell are you! Why are you in my room!"
The Ding replied, "There is a rule in our royal palace that all bedrooms have people to watch the night! Even the princess's own bedroom! The prince explained that an assassin had come to his house, and he had to do so in order to protect your personal safety!"
Wang Shouren scolded in his heart: "It's a pervert! What kind of palace is this?"
Wang Shouren had to go back to sleep obediently and said to the family who followed him, "Hey, you can't sleep when you look at me like this. Why don't you sit at the door? This room is just a window. You plug it in from it, and then block it at the door. Isn't it safe? Besides, my old woman is very old and worthless - if you stay here like this, you will cause me trouble. Maybe the assassin thinks I'm an important person!"
I didn't expect the man to listen to his advice and sit at the door obediently. An old woman really has nothing to toss about.
Wang Shouren buried his head in the quilt and whispered next Yueyue. He only heard a "oops" sound. Yueyue pinched her nose and appeared in the quilt: "Your feet stink! Why am I in the quilt?!"
"Because I called you in the quilt! I'm worried that your usual appearance is to land after turning around in mid-air. I didn't expect this to be okay, but why do you choose that appearance every time?
"Because it's so chic!"
"Cut! If I had said this, I wouldn't have been so worried! To get back to the story, if you go out on Moon Night, is there any way not to be discovered?!"
Yueyue shook her head and said, "No! Although my figure is as thin as wings, if you look carefully, you can still see that unless I fly high in the sky and float in the direction of the moon, the light of my body is covered by the moonlight. But I only have an hour in the sky!"
Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Well, one hour is enough!" The moonlight is very good tonight. Just observe what's going on in the royal palace and see where they are doing!"
"Yes!"
Wang Shouren lay uneasily, and all his nerves were **. He pricked up and heard the rustling sound outside, like dense and light footsteps. He got up and looked at them again. They were still the three or five people, sometimes disappeared, sometimes appeared, and no one spoke, but seemed to communicate with gestures- Is there an entrance there? But during the day, Wang Shouren clearly saw that there was a smooth stone table! Those who carried heavy boxes mentioned by Gao Daquan have never appeared!
When Yueyue came back, she drew a map in Wang Shouren's hand and marked the location of the people. In addition, in another direction, she drew several people carrying boxes and walked into the first room of the west building - this direction is exactly the visual dead corner of the middle road building!
Wang Shouren drew several lines horizontally and vertically on the map in his hand. He found that the direction of the people were moving and the position of the people carrying the box. If he drew a straight line, he would cross the lake. A bold idea formed in his mind, but to confirm this matter, he also needs to verify another thing in person!
In the morning, the maid in the house came to wash his face - Wang Shouren found that the housekeepers day and night were completely two groups of people!
He hurriedly washed his face and found another serious problem - his beard grew out!
What can I do? The wet nurse has a beard!
Just when Wang Shouren was so anxious that he was restless, Lou Suzhen came in outside the door and asked, "Manny, did you sleep well yesterday?" Wang Shouren pinched a handful of sweat - the savior came!
Wang Shouren pretended to complain: "There are so many rules in your palace that people even stare at you when you sleep!"
Lou Suzhen raised her voice and said, "Hi! That's not for your sake. Hongdu has been prone to droughts and floods in recent years, and now it's time to be green and yellow. Wangfu is the first consideration of the bandits!"
With that, Lou Suzhen pulled out a hairpin from her hair - this hairpin was very special, and Wang Shouren saw that the hairpin handle was extremely sharp at a glance! Lou Suzhen carefully inserted this hairpin into Wang Shouren's hairpin and said, "The wet nurse dressed up. She is quite young and can't see that she is 50 or 60 years old!"
Wang Shouren looked at Lou Suzhen with concern and didn't know what to say - he was wondering why Lou Suzhen carried such a sharp knife-like pin with him. Is it...
He dares not think about it any more!
Lou Suzhen chatted with him, but Wang Shouren quickly cleaned up his beard, and then she gave him some powder. The makeup effect was not much worse than Xu Huai'an! They are all the people who came out of Loufu!
Everything was sorted out, and Wang Shouren suddenly took Lou Suzhen's hand - maybe it was because of the razor that made his compassion burst in an instant! After many years, he looked at her so closely again that he couldn't even say a few sincere words!
When having breakfast, Wang Shouren praised the grandeur of the royal palace building and proposed to let Lou Suzhen take her to watch it, saying that if she went by herself, she would be afraid she would get lost in the house!
So, Su Wu Niang was called. The three of them strolled from east to west together. Just around the first room of the west building, Wang Shouren found some oil stains on the ground. He twisted it with his mobile phone and smelled it again - it was oil! That's what he wants to verify!
Under the guidance of Zhu Xi's Confucianism, the Ming Dynasty was particularly prominent. The Han army was not good at riding and shooting, so they could only develop firearms on a large scale to make up for this deficiency. The development and application of firearms in the Ming Dynasty surpassed the previous He Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty independently created dozens of firearms such as mines, mines, sprayers (primary flamethrowers), handguns, cannons, etc., and also invented flowering shells. Emperor Yongle also set up a magic machine camp for special firearms.
And most of these firearms use oil as fuel - so it is now very clear that Ning Wangfu is indeed building its own secret arsenal!
So where will this arsenal be? Of course, it is impossible to be on the ground, because once the fire is not careful, or lightning strikes, it is easy to cause explosions, and the whole palace will be extinguished. More importantly, in case of the wind leaks on the ground, not to mention the consequences!
So where will it be underground?
Wang Shouren looked at the palm of his hand. The line just crossed the lake. Wang Shouren was very sure that the arsenal was under the lake: First of all, covering the lake water is the best way. It is difficult for ordinary people to think of anything strange under the lake. Secondly, if the arsenal uses water, it can be drawn from the lake.
But how can we get into the underground arsenal now?
Wang Shouren reasoned that it was almost impossible through the mechanism. They tried their best to build this underground arsenal. How can people easily crack the mechanism?
Wang Shouren's eyes swept over the lake and then stayed on the small rockery in the lake. There was a stone crane parked on the rockery. Wang Shouren smiled and thought: It's a perfect blindfold!
It seems that entering the underground arsenal through the water diversion system is the only feasible way at present!
"How can I swim to the rockery in the lake without being noticed?" Wang Shouren frowned.
"Manny, are you tired of shopping?! Let's go to the stone table and rest for a while!" Lou Suzhen proposed.
Wang Shouren nodded and replied, "Okay! Your royal palace is so big that my feet are soft! However, the wet nurse doesn't understand why the prince always doesn't see anyone during the day?!"
Lou Suzhen smiled and said, "To be honest, the prince has a strange disease. He is upside down day and night, and he often sleeps at night!" However, he never left the palace by himself, let alone did anything out of style. It's just a good sleep during the day, and I'm used to it!"
"Oh..." Wang Shouren hummed.
Then, he asked Su Wuniang, "Has this proposed girl ever found Tang Bohu?"
Lou Suzhen shook her head: "No, Bohu may have traveled everywhere now! Therefore, Miss Su is going to leave in the afternoon!"
Wang Shouren thought to himself, "It's really unkind. You will let it go when you see me coming!" However, it is indeed difficult for her to find other reasons to stay. After all, Wang Chen knows her details.
"Can we only fight alone now?" Wang Shouren thought extremely frustrated.
However, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind - Su Wuniang left, just in time to help him do something!
