Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Bao Zheng frowned and stared at the blood on the ground for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Gongsun Ce, and said seriously, "We must find Pang Tong as soon as possible!"

Gongsun Ce nodded, "Okay, but..." Now there are two forked roads in front of them, which one should they choose?

Bao Zheng stood up, looked at the forked roads on the left and right, then looked down at the bloodstains, and smiled abruptly, "So that's how it is."

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Bao Zheng clapped his hands and strode forward, but there was only one wall in front of him. Could it be... Gongsun Ce was startled, and looked down at the bloodstains on the ground. The bloodstains seemed to flow to the left and right, but in fact, the bloodstains were the thickest is facing straight ahead.

Gongsun Ce suddenly came to a sudden thought. After thinking about it carefully, yes, if Pang Tong and Pang Muyi were ambushed and injured, there would be no reason for them to run away separately, unless...they were caught by the enemy.

Gongsun Ce frowned. If Pang Tong was caught by Qinghe County's mastermind, it would be really troublesome.

At this time, Bao Zheng had already walked up to the wall, Gongsun Ce hurriedly followed, and when Bao Zheng was about to reach out to find the switch, he whispered, "Be careful."

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce, nodded slightly, "It's fine."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and touched every part of the wall tentatively. During the process of touching, Gongsun Ce kept holding his heart, while Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang held their swords tightly, vigilant. .

Finally, a click was heard.

Bao Zheng took a step back, and the wall slowly retreated to both sides.

Sure enough, there is a secret passage!Gongsun Ce looked at the long secret passage that appeared in front of them after the wall retreated to both sides, and the bloodstains that continued to extend on the secret passage.

"It seems... those two people were seriously injured." Bao Zheng murmured in a low voice.

"Yeah." Gongsun Ce nodded slowly, but he was thinking in his heart, that Pang Tong was so fateful, he definitely wouldn't lose his life here, but what is the mastermind behind the scenes paying attention to?

"Bao Zheng, tell me, what exactly are they here for?" Gongsun Ce whispered to Bao Zheng while paying attention to the blood under his feet.

"At first, I thought it was aimed at us. Later, I thought it was aimed at Da Song Jiangshan. Until Pang Tong appeared, I thought it was aimed at Pang Tong... But now, I guess, one is aimed at Pang Tong, and the other... Probably because of the secrets of Qinghe County." Bao Zheng said in a low voice, looking at both sides as he spoke, the candlelight was dim, but it could be seen that the murals on the walls on both sides had been blurred.

"The secret of Qinghe County?" Gongsun Ce stood still and looked at Bao Zheng, "What's the secret of Qinghe County?"

Bao Zheng also paused, staring at the mural on the wall to his left, and said slowly, "I don't know, but there must be something that attracts them. If it's just targeting the Pang family, Pang Tong and Grand Master Pang, there are many ways to do it." Why bother to drag the entire county into the water, it is so earth-shattering, what you did must not be simple. Therefore, there should be something in Qinghe County itself that attracted those people."

Gongsun Ce snorted, and looked at the mural that Bao Zheng was staring at. The mural was old and blurred. Secret passages usually use the predecessors to build, and then re-expand, so there are murals in the tunnel. It seems that it is not a rare thing, but now that Bao Zheng is looking at it so intently, then this mural is really strange.

Gongsun Ce stepped forward and took a closer look at the light of the candle that Zhan Zhao curiously handed over. The mural was blurry, but he could still clearly see a group of people kneeling and kowtowing around a high platform. An army seems to be floating in mid-air, so what this group of people worship is a god floating in mid-air?

Gongsun Ce watched attentively. From the carvings of the murals and the little clothing that could still be seen in the murals, Gongsun Ce dared to assert that this was something from the Qin Dynasty.

"Can you tell when it was painted?" Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce was very knowledgeable, and he knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Besides piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Gongsun Ce was also good at appreciating gold and stone (antique appraisal). .

"At least it's a work from the Qin period." Gongsun Ce said seriously, looking sideways at Bao Zheng, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

In the pre-Qin period, worshiping ghosts and gods, offering sacrifices, and even human sacrifices were commonplace, and it was even more common in the murals of the Qin period.This mural has nothing to do with their current situation, right?

Bao Zheng shook his head slowly, "I don't know, I just feel weird."

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng suspiciously, strange?

Seeing Gongsun Ce's puzzled expression, Bao Zheng smiled, and comforted him, "Maybe I've been too nervous for many days, it's fine, let's go."

Gongsun Ce nodded slightly, although he said so, because Bao Zheng mentioned his feeling, and all along, countless facts have proved that Bao Zheng's feeling is very accurate.

Therefore, before leaving, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but glance at the mural.

*******

When Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce continued to move forward cautiously, the Eight Wise Kings were bandaging a wound where he was imprisoned.

"Why are you so careless! You are still the son of the Grand Master in vain! The seven-star general who frightened the people of Liao!" Ba Xianwang reprimanded Pang Tong in a low voice while bandaging Pang Tong's wound.

Pang Tong chuckled, and there was a hint of rascal in his smile, "It's not that Uncle Ba doesn't know that I am a little rascal who relies on my father and Uncle Ba to protect me."

The Eighth Wise King frowned at Pang Tong, stared for a long while, finally lost his battle, shook his head and said helplessly, "If your father sees you being so clumsy, you will have to be whipped again."

"It's okay, Uncle Eight is here! Uncle Eight won't let Dad beat me!" Pang Tong continued to talk shamelessly, but there was a trace of nostalgia in his smile.

——When he was beaten by his father, he happened to meet the Baxian King. It was at a palace banquet at that time. He was playing with the prince who was not the emperor at the time in the back garden. His hand was heavy for a while, and he pushed the prince down. After punishing him, the Eight Sage Kings passed by, and when he saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, and scolded his father loudly, and his father immediately fell silent abnormally, and did not beat him anymore.

Later, the Eighth Sage King personally sent him back to the mansion, and stayed to talk to his father about the so-called methods of raising children.

From then on, he knew that when he was beaten by his father, it was definitely right to go to the Eighth Sage King. From then on, he also privately called the Eighth Sage King the Eighth Uncle, and the Eighth Sage King was surprised at first, but later on By default.

It wasn't until he grew up... After knowing certain things, he realized that when the Eighth Sage King was protecting him in the back garden, it was the first time that the Eighth Sage King talked to his father after the dispute between the two concubines. The eight virtuous kings and father have not spoken for five years.

Pang Tong looked at the Baxian King who looked at him with a friendly smile, and couldn't help showing a sincere smile on his face. Fortunately, Uncle Ba is safe and sound.

The man in front of him confronted his father tit-for-tat in court and never compromised, but in private, he cared for him and his younger siblings who lost their mother since childhood.

Such a man, no matter the big or small things, has always been serious and sincere... It's no wonder that my father has been in trouble for many years, but he never thought of breaking free.

"Uncle Eight, fortunately you are safe and sound." Pang Tong said in a low voice, otherwise... what his father, who has been silent and guarding for many years, will do is beyond his son's ability to predict and prevent him. that's it.

The Eight Sage King was taken aback, then smiled helplessly, shook his head, patted Pang Tong on the shoulder, straightened up, apologetically, "I'm sorry, I wanted to stop... but I didn't want to make you worry instead."

"Uncle Eight, don't worry, Dad will find a solution." Pang Tong laughed.

The Pang family had seven or eight secret guards by the side of the Eight Sage King, and if the Eight Sage King was in danger, Dad must have known about it. With Dad's methods and schemes, this matter should be worry-free.

Suddenly, Pang Tong said loudly, "Thank you Eight Sage Kings for healing this general!"

The Eighth Sage King sat down leisurely on the chair beside him knowingly, "What General Feixing said, it's just a trivial matter."

"Hehe... Unexpectedly, the Eight Sage Kings and the Pang family get along very well." The door of the wing room was opened, and a handsome young man walked in slowly with a gentle smile.

Pang Tong stared blankly at the young man in front of him, why does this man look so much like the little emperor?Pang Tong frowned, looking at the young man who even had a similar smile, no, it was different.

"Surprised, isn't it?" The young man looked at Pang Tong and asked with a smile, "Do you think I've known you before?"

The Eight Sage Kings on the side raised their lips slightly, showing a little disdain.

"No, you don't have the slightest resemblance to the Holy One." Pang Tong said with a smile, showing a careless smile.

The young man raised his eyebrows, "Oh? But just now, you seemed surprised?"

"I was surprised because...someone would imitate another person." Pang Tong said with a smile, "After all, a fake is always a fake, no matter how imitated it is, it can't become real."

——He has known the little emperor since he was a child. He is five years older than the little emperor. He said that he has watched the little emperor grow up. Although he has not seen him for many years, the little emperor is the most stubborn and innocent. How could he understand this? A kind of sinister calculation?
