After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

Zhao Chuan has made countless calculations, but he doesn't know that there is a secret way for Ying Ze to escape in the imperial tomb...

Back then, after the founding emperor Taizu of the Daqing Dynasty built the imperial mausoleum, he ordered that all the craftsmen who participated in the design and construction of the imperial mausoleum be sacrificed alive. Since then, only the person who sat on the throne at the end has the structural map of the imperial tomb Qualifications know.

Even the Forbidden Army assigned to guard the imperial tomb actually didn't know the entire structure of the entire imperial tomb, they just knew the general layout on the surface and acted according to orders.

At this moment, Zhao Chuan could only watch helplessly as Ying Ze led Xiao Yunxiang and disappeared into the secret passage in a flash. When he caught up, the heavy stone gate of the secret passage had already closed quickly in front of him with precise ingenuity. up.

Shocked and angry, Zhao Chuan kicked the wall subconsciously, but what he got was the pain caused by the reaction of the huge force. He became even angrier and shouted:

"Come here! Come here! Come here!"

The confidant who had been waiting at the door for a long time hurried in, but when he opened the door, he saw Zhao Chuan alone with frightened and angry faces, looking at the complete wall carved with relief paintings of various colors, as if the wall had eaten people.

However, Ying Ze and Xiao Yunxiang, who should have surrendered to Zhao Chuan's sword at this time, were nowhere to be seen at all.

The visitor glanced around and was also dumbfounded:

"Boss, Your Majesty...where are you?"

Zhao Chuan spat bloody saliva, stared at the wall and said:

"There is a secret passage, they escaped, there is a secret door on the wall, the mechanism should be on the side of the altar, find it quickly!"

Just now, Ying Ze's kick did not show mercy at all. Coupled with the sudden change, his original plan that was foolproof may now turn into a dead end. It is difficult for anyone to stay calm in such a situation.

The subordinate was even more astonished when he heard the words. He stared at the seamless wall with his eyes wide open. He reached out and groped for a while on the wall, but he still couldn't find any secret door. He turned to look at Zhao Chuan, who was clutching his chest:

"Escaped? Boss, what we are doing is a big deal of losing our heads. This...if..."

Zhao Chuan scolded Gou Niang vaguely, his originally dark face became more and more ruthless, he turned his head and said:

"I'm very clear! You don't need to remind me!"

Another confidant groped around the altar for a while, and finally found an inconspicuous protrusion. He stretched out his hand and pressed it. The wall Zhao Chuan was facing remained silent, but a secret door suddenly appeared on the opposite wall from where Ying Ze and the others escaped. .

The attention of several people was immediately attracted to them. Seeing the dark and deep corridor, as if a tiger's mouth would choose to eat someone, they looked at each other with complicated expressions.

The confidant who found the secret door reached in and groped for a moment beside the secret door, his expression changed, and he turned to Zhao Chuan and said:

"Boss, there is probably a moving mechanism in the passageway here. Every once in a while, the entrances and exits of the ingenious control switch secret passageway will be rearranged, the previous exit will be sealed, and a secret door will be reopened. If you don't know the law If someone goes in, it’s probably like entering a maze.”

The reason why he asserted so quickly was because this was a trick that Han Jiangxue's stronghold had always used well, and he was sent to Zhao Chuan from Lan Jingxuan, so he was very familiar with it, but he didn't expect that, More than a hundred years ago, there were already craftsmen who were good at this kind of ingenuity.

Zhao Chuan's expression turned serious, and there was a hesitant and timid confidant beside him, and his face turned pale with fright:

"Doesn't this mean that we can only let His Majesty... let them escape through the secret passage. If His Majesty successfully escapes back to the capital, once what we did is exposed to the public, what... is this going to be good?"

Zhao Chuan turned his head and gave him a big slap in the face, angrily said:

"Bastard! Why panic! Isn't it just Shi Laozi's teleportation mechanism? The whole mountain is guarded by the forbidden army. Even if Ying Ze has great abilities today, he will not be able to get out of this mountain alive!"

The confidant was slapped, but he cheered up when he heard the words, opened his eyes and looked at him and said:

"Boss, do you mean that you have already thought of a way to crack this mechanism?"

Zhao Chuan snorted coldly:

"Crack the mechanism? A bullshit mechanism, as long as there are enough people, every time a new entrance is opened, people will be sent in to search. If there is a way, I will go to explore it. I don't believe that so many people can't catch him!"

My confidant has a cold back:

"But... if our people get lost inside..." Maybe they will die of hunger and thirst inside, and even the corpses will not be found, right?

However, as soon as he met Zhao Chuan's cold gaze, all his doubts were swallowed up in an instant. Even if he knew that Zhao Chuan was planning to trick his brothers into going to die, he didn't dare to say more.

On the other side, the person arranged by Lan Jingxuan opened his mouth and said:

"But in this way, it is bound to go to war, in case people outside the imperial tomb are alarmed..."

Zhao Chuan looked at him meaningfully, and the latter was slightly taken aback, then immediately realized.

A moment later, the imperial guards and hundreds of officials who were guarding outside suddenly heard a scream, followed by the fighting and Zhao Chuan's awe-inspiring shout:

"Your Majesty beware—"

Everyone raised their hearts, and after only listening to the noise for a while, Zhao Chuan walked out of the imperial tomb with a cold face, and said solemnly:

"An assassin sneaked in through the secret passage hidden in the imperial mausoleum, trying to assassinate His Majesty. Fortunately, he failed. His left shoulder was injured and he fled into the secret passage. The imperial army obeyed the order and hurried to hunt him down."

Some honest-minded courtiers immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked:

"General Zhao, since His Majesty is fine, where are you at this time, why didn't you show up?"

Zhao Chuan looked at the person who asked the question, and said bluntly:

"Your Majesty was assassinated suddenly during the national sacrifice. He was in shock and showed up rashly. What if he was in danger again? Assassins can sneak into the imperial tomb. Who can guarantee that everyone standing here must not be the assassin's internal agents?"

"As for where His Majesty is at this time..."

He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the courtiers below, and said with a sneer:

"Naturally, it was placed in a safe enough place so that the adults would not know about it. It is also for the purpose of keeping His Majesty's location from thieves and protecting His Majesty's safety."

What he said seems to be quite outrageous, but because Ying Ze can't prove himself at this moment, the officials can't directly prove that he has nothing to do with the assassin. Believe it, if it is true, what if they took the risk to meet the emperor, and instead angered the emperor?

Furthermore, the courtiers all knew that Zhao Chuan was Ying Ze's confidant, many people did not suspect him after hearing these remarks, and really thought that an assassin had sneaked in.

Even if some people don't believe it, there's nothing they can do. The Imperial Army stands in front of the imperial mausoleum. How can these powerless civil servants have any way to resist?

Even those with a clearer mind felt that it was impossible to force their way in, and secretly wanted to send news back to Beijing, but they were stopped by Zhao Chuan, who had expected it for a long time.
