The guard was also panicked when he saw this. He didn't realize that the emperor could actually send him to prison with just one sentence.
But he naturally didn't want to say this. Although he had the opportunity to refute, there were only two options before him: either don't say it, or say it.
Apparently, he could only choose the last path.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me, I say!"
"Then tell me, where does that secret passage lead to?"
The guard hurriedly took out a blueprint that had been originally planned, but found that there was nothing recorded on the blueprint, so it was probably not decided at the beginning to hang a secret passage on it.
This secret passage should be a later product.
However, at this moment in time, it seems that no one wants to have any thoughts on this product.
Now the guard just wanted to get away from here as quickly as possible. He didn't expect that one day he would make such a big mistake. However, judging from the emperor's expression, if he didn't say anything, he would probably be dead soon.
"This...we don't know either, but Your Majesty, we can try to find out!"
The guard was trembling. Although he didn't know where the end of this place was, they could take people down to find out.
When I went down, I found that there were densely packed wires in it, which seemed to converge to the farthest place. So many wires were intertwined and finally entered the big black box at the innermost part.
“This…what is this?”
The guards were also at a loss when they saw this scene, because they didn't know how to tell the emperor about this situation after going up. Should they tell the emperor that they actually saw a black box buried underground?
Or maybe this thing absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and grew tentacles?
How could the emperor believe it!
To be honest, this thing is obviously just a power supply system, and the power it uses is a very primitive hydroelectric power generation. Because the palace is at a relatively high altitude, there is also a flowing river in the back mountain.
Of course, based on the principle of living off the mountain, this place was successfully put to direct use.
So this glowing jade or the stars on it is actually just an ordinary container, and what is inside it is what provides the water.
Success 24 hours a day.
That's the advantage.
So the group of guards pretended to circle around inside for many times before going up. When they went down, the candles in their hands had just been burning, but when they came out, the candles had burned out.
That's enough to prove how long it took.
The candle that was being dragged has also burned out.
"So what's underneath this?"
As soon as the group of people came up and looked around, they were relieved when they found that the emperor had left. They were about to close the secret passage when they didn't expect that this sudden sentence scared the guards.
It was quite scary to hear a sudden noise behind me in the middle of the night, but the room was brightly lit, so I shouldn't be that scared.
"Ouch, I'm so scared, so scared!"
The guard turned around and saw the emperor's cold face. He knew that if he didn't speak, the emperor would be angry.
"Your Majesty, there's a black box underneath."
"What black box?"
Zhao Xin was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the interconnected wires below are so densely packed that it's a bit shocking if you look at them again."
These words made Zhao Xin confused.
Black box, circuit.
Pandora's Box?
"Then your Majesty, if you go down and take a look, you will know."
A guard just pointed at the tunnel, and no one knew what the thing was called, probably only the person involved would know.
The person next to him saw that something was wrong and quickly slipped away from the door. He had to inform the master, otherwise it would be a big deal if the secret passage was discovered.
"Okay then, I'll go down and take a look. As for you guys, just watch outside."
The guard who ran out by climbing walls and climbing rooftops was out of breath, and soon he arrived at a luxurious mansion in the city.
However, as soon as you enter the house, you will feel a gloomy atmosphere. I heard that someone seemed to have died in this house. It is not a simple place.
The thought of this made me tremble uncontrollably. However, the room was pitch black and no one knew if the master had changed his sleeping place.
"master?"
Boom boom boom——
Boom boom boom——
"Why is there no one answering?"
The guard was anxious, but seeing that it was the middle of the night, he was afraid that the man had found a place to sleep. He didn't know where he fell asleep, so he walked in. However, he didn't expect to find that the room was full of spider webs after entering.
“Oh my god!”
The guard suddenly sat down on the ground, and the noise was so loud that it alarmed the neighbors nearby.
To be honest, no one had ever lived in this house, so in principle, they were using it for free. And I also understood this, and I was afraid of not being able to find anyone in the middle of the night.
Just as he was about to run, his leg was tripped by a piece of electric wire and he fell to the ground, unable to move.
“Ouch!”
There was a bell tied to the wire, and when I walked around the whole house the bells rang.
Moreover, once the sound was heard, the neighbors outside were even more afraid to come over, so they all decided to give up after discussing it. They no longer dared to come over and went home to sleep.
At this time, Su Xi had found a perfect place to sleep.
Although this place is surrounded by walls, there is no cover on top. The bedding inside is quite good and there is everything except a quilt.
When the guard was running out, he accidentally stepped on a piece of wood, and then he felt something touching his legs and feet.
I suddenly stopped and took a look.
“…”
"Mom!"
If I'm not mistaken, the thing on the ground is the corpse. The corpse is almost dead but still emits...a fragrance, and the body is not very decayed. However, the face is pale, which shows that it has been dead for a long time.
But it looks good.
Now is really not the time to think about this.
So the body was outside, and I remember there was a large coffin in the room next door. Could it be that inside that coffin was...
With this doubt in mind, the guard walked over slowly.
But when I got to the door, I felt a little skeptical.
What if he comes back to life? What if?
Impossible, impossible, how could this person be pretending to be dead?
As soon as he entered, the coffin was placed in front of the ancestral hall.
At this time, the lid of the coffin had been opened, and a corner of the exposed quilt could be seen.
The familiar fragrance made him sure that the master must have been to this place.
Then he went over to take a look.
As expected!
"Master, Master, don't sleep, don't sleep!"
Su Xi yawned but didn't wake up at all. She felt groggy and had no energy at all. Who would have nothing better to do than sleep in the middle of the night?
"Master, don't sleep anymore. His Majesty has discovered it!"
