The road was dark, with no light on either side, and a faint "hissing" sound could be heard.
Jiang Zhiyu took out a flashlight from the space to illuminate the dim road, and the dark road suddenly became as bright as day, and the mechanism was clearly visible.
Jiang Zhiyu walked forward, nimbly avoiding the mechanisms, walked to the middle, and reached out to push a brick on the wall.
With a "click", the wall twisted slightly to create a small crack.
Jiang Zhiyu stretched out his hand to push it away, and the smell of blood immediately hit him in the face.
She looked at the scene in the house and in a trance, she thought she had returned to the end of the world.
There were corpses everywhere, blood was dripping, broken internal organs and broken bone marrow were scattered on the ground, everyone died in a horrible way, there were many human heads hanging on hooks on the wall, in the pool of blood, some colorful snakes were crawling slowly.
The gunpowder was isolated on the other side.
Jiang Zhiyu clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
No one can remain calm in such a hellish environment.
The book contains only a few sentences: Malzahar, the prince of Southern Gu, feeds his Gu worms with the flesh and blood of the people of Apocalypse in a secret room in the Sixth Prince's mansion.
Only when you see it with your own eyes can you feel the deep shock!
Jiang Zhiyu took out his camera and took pictures of every detail from front to back and left to right.
Although I can’t show them photos, I can ask someone to draw them myself!
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door. Jiang Zhiyu put away the camera, put the gunpowder into the space, turned off the flashlight, and took out a tinderbox.
The firelight covered a limited area, but it was guarded by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the people who came were either the Captain or He Yanting.
Jiang Zhiyu picked up a snake and observed it by the light of the fire.
The footsteps stopped, and the person standing behind Jiang Zhiyu said in a voice that was hoarse and gravelly, yet with a gentle tone: "What did you find?"
It was He Yanting.
Jiang Zhiyu held up the snake in his hand and showed it to him: "Although it looks like an ordinary snake, its venom is dozens of times more poisonous than that of ordinary snakes."
She pressed the snake's fangs against the wooden box, and the venom dripped, instantly corroding a large hole in the box.
Even He Yanting couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene.
If they really continue to train Malzahar, then wouldn't their Apocalypse be in danger?!
The last one to arrive was Qianhu, who had stepped on half of the mechanism. He was in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair, and looked extremely embarrassed.
[Wow, are we going to survive in the wilderness? ]
He Yanting said solemnly, "Captain, summon the Imperial Guards immediately and trap all the snakes in this room. These snakes are highly venomous, so tell them to be extremely careful."
The captain's eyes flashed, he answered "yes" and ran out in a hurry.
[With these little snakes, no matter how careful they are, they will still get bit by snakes!]
I'll sprinkle some powder on them to calm them down.
[But with him here, will he notice?]
As soon as Jiang Zhiyu raised her hand, He Yanting turned around and walked to the side with a tinderbox, as if he was observing something.
[Ah, what a pity, it spun too fast and I missed it!]
He Yanting: “…”
Jiang Zhiyu hurriedly sprinkled the medicine powder, and in just a moment, all the Jinyiwei gathered in the secret room, and the torches in their hands illuminated every corner of the secret room.
Previously, they couldn't see clearly and only felt the unpleasant smell of blood in the secret room. Now seeing this scene, everyone's faces were extremely ugly, and some people even had stomach churns and vomited loudly.
Thanks to Jiang Zhiyu's medicinal powder, the snake catching process went extremely smoothly and only took a cup of tea.
Walking out of the secret room, the sun was setting and the sky seemed to be burning with an orange-red sunset.
Jiang Zhiyu let out a deep breath.
It was a beautiful scene, but no one was appreciating it. A Jinyiwei soldier was carrying a cage. The captain bowed to Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting and said, "Master Shishu, Master He, I will return to report first and will not be leaving with you two."
Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting returned the gift.
After the captain left, He Yanting whispered, "Miss Third's visit this time has probably been remembered by others. Please be careful in the future."
Jiang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then realized he was talking about Xiao Yanli. He chuckled, "Thank you for the reminder, Master He, but I'm afraid that man has already held a grudge against me. Besides this, Master He, do you remember another incident?"
[Don't tell me you've forgotten in just a short while! Otherwise, I'll send you to see your grandma!]
He Yanting laughed dumbly: "Don't worry, Miss San, I will do what I promised you."
[That's more like it.]
Jiang Zhiyu climbed onto the carriage, and He Yanting drove in the opposite direction from her, heading towards the palace.
…
In the Jiaoxiang Palace, Xiao Yanli stood by the window. Although his expression remained normal, his constantly rubbing fingers revealed his anxious heart.
Concubine Yu looked at him, unable to hide her anxiety.
What, no movement yet?!
Until the dark night, as if endless thick ink was heavily painted on the sky, without even the glimmer of stars, Xiao Yanli finally closed his eyes.
He was filled with dejection. Seeing him like this, Concubine Yu was already frightened out of her wits. She trembled and said, "My prince, my prince..."
She didn't know what to say, so she could only call out again and again.
Suddenly, a eunuch's message came from outside the hall. The mother and son's faces changed immediately. Xiao Yanli sat back in the center of the hall and only had time to say, "No matter what he says, you just say you don't know. Do you hear me?"
He hurriedly held the cloth tiger's ears in his mouth and made a silly look.
Concubine Yu nodded blankly. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but feel scared when she saw the emperor walk in with an angry look on his face.
"Your Majesty, why are you here so late?"
The emperor looked furious, but his tone towards her was somewhat gentle: "Why, I can't come?"
Concubine Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I was just so happy to see you coming that I was dizzy. I will undress you..."
Her slender fingers were placed on the emperor's belt, and just as she was about to move, the emperor held her back: "No hurry."
Yu Fei's hands shook uncontrollably.
The emperor's eyes were deep, and he held her hand tightly. "My beloved concubine, what's wrong? You are not feeling well. I will ask the imperial physician to come and see you."
"No, no need," Yu Fei forced a smile. "By the way, I noticed that His Majesty looked unhappy when he came in just now. Is there anything..."
She suddenly fell silent in the middle of her words and subconsciously looked at Xiao Yanli, but when the emperor noticed her, she quickly looked away.
Just now, she was anxious to change the subject, but she happened to bring up the issue that they least wanted the emperor to mention!
Yu Fei only felt her ears buzzing, and everything in front of her eyes seemed to be spinning, making her dizzy.
Xiao Yanli, who was sitting on the ground, also cursed in his heart.
But the emperor seemed unaware. He supported Concubine Yu to the bedside and looked at her lovingly, "My beloved concubine, do you know that there are three secret passages in the Sixth Prince's mansion?"
