[Excerpt from the article]
Ye Qizhu stepped out of the carriage with Huo Chenglang's support, and there was a group of officers and soldiers behind him, and he helped her get out of the carriage.
The gate of Youcheng City is heavily guarded at this time, no one can enter or exit, even all the ships in the port can not be let go, the officers and soldiers block the port and strictly guard it, so that it is estimated that the two birds can not fly out, the people know that the government is arresting the King of Yue, and there are many discussions, and the Youcheng has just experienced the battle between the soldiers and horses of the King of Yue and the government, and it is panicking at this time.
"When I heard that King Yue was missing, I was uneasy, so I thought I would come over and have a look. ”
Ye Qizhu stood by the carriage and noticed that there was a circle of people around her, who looked at her, a person from outside the city, with curious eyes.
They looked at Ye Qizhu, and Ye Qizhu also observed them, these people had just experienced a short rebellion, and they were sealed in the city and couldn't move, and their faces were full of resentment.
At present, the public is really boiling with resentment.
Huo Chenglang talked a few words with the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and then led her forward: "Not far in front is the yamen of the hidden city, let's talk while walking." ”
"Now that the ghost city is already complaining, we have to find Shen Xi'an's hiding place as soon as possible, it's really not good," Ye Qizhu looked at him worriedly, "Give up arresting him, directly open the city gate and port, and restore the stability of the people." ”
She stopped to look at him, and solemnly suggested to him, Huo Chenglang also stopped with her.
He lowered his eyes, seemed to sigh, and his face was serious: "I know your worries, but if Shen Xi'an can't catch it and open it, it will only cause endless trouble." ”
"So you won't give up if you don't catch him?" Ye Qizhu was a little surprised, and the implication of listening to him was that he was willing to open the ghost city until Shen Xi'an was arrested.
And she obviously didn't want him to do it, but she also had no reason to dissuade him.
Huo Chenglang looked at her and nodded.
The two looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a little indifferent.
After a while, Ye Qizhu continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "Tell me, how did Shen Xi'an disappear?"
Huo Chenglang kept up with her pace and said in detail: "From the beginning of preparing to arrest Shen Xi'an, I sent Songhang to lead the secret guards, and at twelve o'clock the whole mansion monitored him without leaving a dead end, and later when I led the army to besiege the city, all the entrances and exits of the hidden city were blocked, and the people at the city gate rushed all the way back to the house to report the situation to Shen Xi'an, at that time Shen Xi'an was still in his mansion, but when we took people to search, there was no trace of him." ”
Ye Qizhu asked: "Could it be that he took advantage of the chaos to escape?"
Huo Chenglang shook his head: "Whether it is the Hidden City or the Yue Wangfu, it was strictly controlled at that time, and it was impossible to escape. ”
The weather in the ghost city was slightly warmer by the capital, and Ye Qizhu was wearing a jacket, which was a little hot.
She thought as she walked, and suddenly remembered that she had escaped from Wenjing's secret room in the Wen family, and asked him again: "Then have you found any secret rooms or secret passages in the Yue Wang's Mansion?"
"Not found for the time being. Huo Chenglang looked helpless.
That's right, the previous King of Yue was forced to die by Huo Chenglang in the Yue Palace, if there was a secret passage or secret room, he would not be like this.
So how did he go missing?
The two walked for a while, and then arrived at the mansion, and a group of people were very busy these days because of the affairs of King Yue, especially a few prefects, lords, etc., who were even more anxious.
When Ye Qizhu and Huo Chenglang arrived, it happened that several small departments would come back to report the situation.
There was a very tall junior general with a pale face, and respectfully reported: "No trace of King Yue has been found in any of the shops on Yunxing Street in the east of the city. ”
Another somewhat strong subordinate general was sweating profusely, wiping his sweat and reporting: "All the residences in the west of the city have been searched, and no king Yue has been found. ”
Another senior general went on to report: "All the streets in the north of the city have also been searched, and the king of Yue has not been found. ”
After everyone finished reporting the situation, the officials present all had solemn faces and sad faces, and they all sighed in unison.
It's been the fifth day, and I still can't find King Yue, which is really worrying.
Ye Qizhu listened to all the search on the side, frowned on his slender willow eyebrows, held his chin and thought for a while, and pulled Huo Chenglang outside to speak: "Although you have a lot of officers and soldiers, but the ghost city is so big, and the search is not careful, it is inevitable that there will be many omissions." ”
"What do you want to do?"
Huo Chenglang is much taller than Ye Qizhu, in order to hear more clearly and avoid her tiptoeing, every time he listens to her, he always habitually bends over to listen.
"I want to go to the Yue Palace!" Ye Qizhu looked at him solemnly and replied word by word.
Since the other person disappeared from the Yue Palace, the strange place must be there.
Obviously, the situation now is different from the previous life, and she has to check carefully at which point there is a difference.
-
The two of them went to the Yue Wang's Mansion, and now the Yue Wang's Mansion is guarded by officers and soldiers everywhere, for fear that one will not pay attention, so he will let the Yue King secretly hide and escape.
Songhang was in charge of guarding the Yue Palace, and when he saw Ye Qizhu and Huo Chenglang coming towards him, he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Qizhu.
She asked, "Songhang, where was the last time you saw Shen Xi'an?"
"In the backyard, he was talking to his servants in the backyard, and then he went into his bedroom, and he never showed up again. ”
Song Hang replied as he led them to the backyard bedroom.
Ye Qizhu went directly into the bedroom and began to check, while Huo Chenglang followed her.
This bedroom is said to be a bedroom, but it is actually very large, divided into several rooms, there is a study room with all kinds of books and the four treasures of the study, there is also a bedroom for him to rest and sleep, and a treasure pavilion with all kinds of rare treasures.
Ye Qizhu first walked into the Treasure Pavilion, where there are rare and strange plays, dazzling, there are Hetian jade carved Guanyin statues, as well as the zodiac three-color figurines of the previous dynasty, as well as a variety of precious porcelain from the eight famous kilns, etc., filled a room.
"Strange, did Shen Xi'an have a hobby of hiding treasures before?"
Ye Qizhu picked up a painted porcelain vase, weighed it in his hand, and couldn't help but ask.
Huo Chenglang was also rummaging on the side, and turned his head to answer her: "Before, I really didn't hear that he had this hobby." ”
Ye Qizhu felt a little strange and full of suspicions.
She carefully thought about how the Wen family's secret room was hidden and how it was opened.
If you want to build a secret room, you don't want to attract attention, you have to find a place that seems ordinary but is easy to be visited.
Previously, Wenjing's secret room was built behind the hundred-eyed cabinet of the Wenjia medicinal herb room.
Ye Qizhu stood up, walked around the room, looked around, and suddenly noticed a cabinet with all kinds of porcelain, from top to bottom, there were all kinds of porcelain, from the material and appearance, it should be from the famous kiln of the previous dynasty.
She looked down at the floor, vaguely wondering why the floor in this room was made of wood.
"Can you move this cabinet?" Ye Qizhu pointed to the cabinet full of porcelain and looked at Huo Chenglang.
Huo Chenglang immediately understood what she meant, and called the soldiers to start moving.
In order to avoid damaging these precious porcelain, Songhang and his three soldiers wasted some effort before carefully moving away.
"There's nothing out of the ordinary. ”
Huo Chenglang walked up and down the floor there, patted the wall again, and there was nothing unusual.
Ye Qizhu's eyebrows tightened, and he also walked over to take a look, it was indeed normal, bare walls, bare ground.
She crouched down, pulling along the edge of the floor to the wall, as if to flip the floor.
"You're ......"
Huo Chenglang was about to ask a question, but before he finished speaking, a crack suddenly cracked in the center of the floor in this area, opening in an instant and closing in another moment.
Huo Chenglang fell in with Ye Qizhu.
"Lord, girl, are you alright?" Song Hang slapped the floor vigorously, calling desperately.
Just now, the floor that can devour people is open, but now it is as normal as ever, and there is no abnormality in sight.
"Are you alright?"
Huo Chenglang helped Ye Qizhu to get up, just when the two of them fell, they found that this place was about seven feet from the ground, and they fell from it, and they were inevitably injured.
"It's fine. ”
Ye Qizhu patted the dust on his body and observed the situation here.
Looking at the environment, this should be a secret passage. The place where the two fell stretched in a certain direction, and the secret passage was crudely built, all of which were potholed earth walls, and there were no lights, and it was pitch black.
Ye Qizhu walked forward tentatively, Huo Chenglang was worried about her, and shouted at the top: "Songhang, we're fine, there is a secret passage here, you open it and follow the road to find us." ”
Immediately, he walked quickly to the front, took Ye Qizhu's hand, and held her tightly by his side.
Ye Qizhu felt a little weird, pulled his hand out of his hand, and looked at him with a strange gaze.
Huo Chenglang smiled lightly, took out a fire fold from his arms, and after opening it, a piece of firelight illuminated the surroundings, and the shadows of the two were also reflected on the wall, with the shaking of the firelight, the light and shadow on the wall were also swaying elegantly.
Huo Chenglang's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he said to her softly: "I'm afraid of danger, you hold on to me, and I can protect you." ”
The dim red firelight reflected on his affectionate face, which made him look particularly emotional and gentle, and his face was particularly delicate and seductive.
It's really beautiful!
Ye Qizhu Xu was also a little obsessed, panicked in his heart, and reached out to grab his sleeve in a daze, his face was a little weirdly red.
The two of them kept walking forward, taking advantage of the firelight, walking slowly along the secret passage, and the secret passage turned around and around, and there was no end in sight.
"I don't know where this chamber leads. Huo Chenglang was held by Ye Qizhu like this, and his heart rippled with inexplicable pleasure.
Seeing that Ye Qizhu didn't respond, he asked her softly, his voice was warm and clear: "Are you afraid?"
“……”
Ye Qizhu is a little indescribable, how to say it, a person like her who has experienced life and death, has encountered many things, not to mention that she is already more courageous than the average person, where will there be times when she is afraid.
She shook her head and replied seriously: "You don't have to see me as a delicate girl, these things are not terrible to me, and you don't have to deliberately protect me and cherish me." ”
Huo Chenglang didn't speak, and the two walked forward slowly.
After a while, he said, "You really don't need anyone to protect you and love you. He stopped, looked at her and said, "But I want to protect you." ”
He looked at her with a solemn look in his eyes, as if announcing something very important.
Ye Qizhu's eyes flickered slightly, and for a while, his heart seemed to be knocked on by someone, and he was stunned in place and at a loss.
