Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

The whole thing happened so unexpectedly, Xiao Zirong was very surprised, the woolen carpet was spread on it, even if Mu Lin broke the stone slab, it shouldn't fall directly, the carpet itself is heavy and has a wide range of force, what's the matter? Can hold up.

As a result, when he passed by, he saw that a small piece of carpet had also been pulled down.

Sitting below, Mu Lin was as frightened as to be motionless.

Xiao Zirong lit the oil lamp and took a look, his heart tightened slightly. The height of the tunnel was at least two meters, and if one was not paying attention, he might fall into something bad or bad.

He whispered, "Mu Lin?"

Mu Lin looked up at him in a daze, as if he just realized it at this time, and just about to scream, he saw Xiao Zirong gesture to him, and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll come down right away."

If Mu Lin's mind was still spinning, he would definitely wonder why Xiao Zirong came down instead of saving him.

But at this time, he has lost his six souls, and he just wants Xiao Zirong to come and accompany him quickly, it is too dark here.

Xiao Zirong fiddled with it for a while, and the things he needed had already been sorted out, and they were packed in the rattan box where the paint was placed before. Then it slid down bit by bit.

After Xiao Zirong came down, Mu Lin immediately stood up and held him back, because Xiao Zirong had an oil lamp in his hand, and the light somewhat dispelled his anxiety.

Mu Lin tremblingly asked, "Where is this?"

Xiao Zirong looked him up and down and asked, "Did something break?"

Mu Lin froze and shook his head.

Seeing him foolishly, Xiao Zirong simply said, "It's okay to take two steps."

After he finished speaking, he laughed himself, feeling as if he had an accent.

Mu Lin is not well-behaved now, Xiao Zirong can do whatever Xiao Zirong asks him to do, he just took two steps, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Zirong pinched his shoulders and wrists again and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Mu Lin felt it and shook his head, Xiao Zirong finally felt relieved, well, fools have foolish luck, probably he took the floor bedding to help him buffer, or else he would not die in the posture he fell just now Half disabled.

Xiao Zirong looked at him with pity and said, "Now you have to go if you don't want to."

Mu Lin calmed down a bit and asked, "Where is this?"

Xiao Zirong said: "The underground palace should have been built in the early days of the founding of the country."

Mu Lin's eyes widened: "Is there really an underground palace?"

"Hush." ​​Xiao Zirong made a gesture: "Keep your voice down, lest others can't hear you, right?"

Mu Lin immediately shut up, looked around and said in a low voice, "I've heard of it before, but I thought it was just a rumor."

Xiao Zirong kicked the bedding and said, "Let's go, take this as well, maybe it will be useful."

Mu Lin obediently brought up the burden. He looked at Xiao Zirong carrying the fan with some difficulty and said, "What are you doing with this? No, where are we going now?"

Xiao Zirong said: "I am useful for this thing, and I can't stay here wherever I go. If you think about it, even if you have only heard of this underground palace, it means that it is definitely a secret. Maybe only the Wei emperors of the past dynasties can know it. Now we If it falls, what do you think will be waiting for us?"

His words sounded a little threatening, but there was nothing he could do about it. He never thought of bringing Mu Lin with him.

What are you doing with him, a pampered young man, what else can he do besides hold him back?

The lead pig can be slaughtered and eaten on the road, but taking him with him can only waste rations.

However, man is not as good as God, and now he can only make Mu Lin fearful, obediently go with him, and find a way to settle the other party after he goes out.

After solving the problem of leading the way to Mu Lin, he will not let the other party fend for itself.

Mu Lin silently followed behind Xiao Zirong, and after a while he said, "Give it to me, I'll help you."

Although Mu Lin was a bit more straightforward, he was not stupid. He knew that what Xiao Zirong said just now contained elements of intimidation, but in fact it was similar.

If you go back, let Yuan Ke know that killing may not be possible, but he will definitely be under house arrest in the palace for the rest of his life.

Mu Lin has now seen Yuan Ke's true face clearly, and his love has also faded. If he doesn't love him, he naturally wants to leave. Under such circumstances, being under house arrest in the palace would be nothing less than torture for him.

So he can only follow Xiao Zirong, try his best to show his role, so that the other party will not abandon him.

Xiao Zirong was indeed tired enough, he glanced at Mu Lin and thought for a while and said, "Okay."

He handed the fan to Mu Lin, and took the bedding from the other party. Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, and the quilt covered is not too heavy.

Xiao Zirong led the way in front, and occasionally passed some forks in the middle, but he just walked forward without looking at it. Just when Mu Lin thought they would go on like this, Xiao Zirong would be very proficient again. turn the corner.

Mu Lin became more and more afraid as he walked behind him. How could he not see that Xiao Zirong was very familiar with the underground palace?

But how is it possible?The other party is from Qi country, even he doesn't know the situation of this underground palace, how can the other party be so familiar with it?Could it be that the penetration of Qi State into Wei State has reached this point?

Mu Lin was uneasy. He wanted to run, but it didn't mean he wanted to see Wei Guo destroyed. He stepped back ten thousand steps and said that he knew that his father and brother would not care about his feelings when facing interests. .

But when there was no conflict of interest, they were still very kind to him, and they had pampered him since he was a child, otherwise they wouldn't have developed his temper.

If the State of Wei is destroyed, it's hard to say what will happen to his family.

Mu Lin is not a person who can hide his words by nature. If Xiao Zirong encountered such a thing, he might pretend to be ignorant, observe by himself bit by bit, and then find an opportunity to run away to inform his family.

But Mu Lin asked in a low voice: "Why do you know the way?"

Xiao Zirong said very calmly: "Wind, do you feel it?"

Mu Lin was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

Xiao Zirong said: "There is wind in the underground palace, if you walk in the direction of the wind, there must be a way out."

Mu Lin felt a little dazed, but he didn't feel the wind at all. He couldn't help but bow his head in shame, feeling that he was really useless.

How did he know that Xiao Zirong was fooling him?

Of course, Xiao Zirong could also use excuses such as foretelling, but in this case, unknown things can easily cause panic.

Mu Lin didn't seem like a strong-willed person. If he caused panic in the claustrophobic space, he might go crazy on the spot, and the two of them would fold here if they made any noise.

It's better to use an excuse that Mu Lin can understand.

He was right in thinking, Mu Lin knew that Xiao Zirong was only judging by ordinary methods that it wasn't that Qi State really knew the secret of Wei State.

And Xiao Zirong also felt that it was good to have someone by his side at this time, if he was walking in such a dark tunnel by himself, no matter how determined his mind was, he might not be able to bear it.

But he has a library in his head, and flipping through some picture books can provide some distraction.

After the two of them walked for a certain distance, Xiao Zirong estimated and said, "Take a break first."

Mu Lin sat down panting and asked in confusion, "What do you think this underground palace is for? Why is there no one there?"

Although there is no one, the smell does not have the stale smell that has been sealed for a long time.

Mu Lin knew a little bit about this, which was why he didn't doubt Xiao Zirong.

The underground smell is not so strong, so there must be a ventilated place, and there is no moss even on the green bricks on both sides of the road and under the feet, which also shows that there should be people walking around frequently, but now they didn't see a person, it's so strange .

Xiao Zirong said while trying to forge some traces: "Maybe everyone went home to rest. The underground palace is under the palace. Yuan Ke is definitely worried about letting people live here all the time. Maybe they will meet after they go out of the palace. However, That's not a good thing."

"Out of the scope of the palace?" Mu Lin was surprised: "How wide is the scope of this underground palace?"

Xiao Zirong said, "It shouldn't be too young."

Mu Lin looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know?"

Xiao Zirong looked up at him, allowing Mu Lin to see the sarcasm in his eyes through the light of the fire: "The exits and entrances of this underground palace are either all in the palace or one is in the palace and the other is in the wilderness, otherwise you have to build the exit. Is it in the homes of ordinary people or the homes of ministers? Or public land?"

Mu Lin couldn't help bowing his head in shame. Luoyang is densely populated, and it's really not suitable to set the exit or entrance in the city. As for all of them in the palace...it's not impossible.

Xiao Zirong casually collected a bit of soil and tossed the traces, making people mistakenly think that they walked straight, but their real traces were covered up.

In fact, his disguise is average, at least it is far worse than what is said in the book, but in the underground palace, even if the torch is lit, there will be shadows, and you can't see clearly, so it should be no problem.

After Xiao Zirong finished, he took a short rest, took two sips of water and gave Mu Lin a little to get up and said, "Let's go, we don't have much fresh water, so we can't spend too long down there."

Mu Lin followed him silently, and walked for an unknown amount of time. When Mu Lin felt that his leg might be about to fail, Xiao Zirong suddenly said, "By now Yuan Ke should have noticed that we are gone."

Mu Lin was startled when he heard this, and his already numb nerves tensed instantly: "Then what should we do? Our pace is definitely not as good as theirs."

Xiao Zirong comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I've already made up a disguise on the way here, so I shouldn't be able to spot us so quickly, let's work harder, the current location is probably close to Luoshui."

At this time, a day and a half had passed since they fell.

Mu Lin also knew this, frowned and said, "We don't travel that fast."

Xiao Zirong was not worried and said calmly: "The straight line between two points is the shortest. If you take the official road on it, you must be slower."

Not all places are suitable for road construction, and there are not no mountains near Luoyang, but this underground palace is built to extend in all directions. Basically, the roads are horizontal and vertical, and there are no detours, so they are equivalent to taking shortcuts now.

In fact, if they just went straight to the Luoshui River, they should be faster than now, but the archaeological map in Xiao Zirong's mind shows that the rooms under the underground palace are generally not very big, and the small ones are like ear chambers. The big one was only as big as Xiao Zirong's bedroom in Ronghua Palace.

Under such a general area, there is a large palace on the bank of the Luoshui River, which is almost as large as the entire Liufeng Palace before, which is very eye-catching.

It’s all here, why don’t you go over and have a look, there are all kinds of connections down here, even Yuan Ke might not have imagined that he could find that place.

If he sent people to chase him, he would only send a few hundred people at most. If there were too many people, it would definitely attract the attention of others. Yuan Ke probably would not want others to know the situation of the underground palace.

It is not easy to find them if there are hundreds of people. Of course, Yuan Ke will definitely send someone to quickly notify the people who work in the underground palace to pay attention, but that is not a problem.

Xiao Zirong still has some sulfuric acid on hand, so he can handle it.

Along the way, Xiao Zirong and Mu Lin didn't look sideways even when they met the palace. After walking for two days with almost no rest, they finally heard the faint sound of footsteps.
