Chapter 335 Secret Passage
Unfortunately, they were happy too early.
Before they could reach out to take it with joy, their decisive boss Yan Xin rushed forward and snatched the porcelain vase away in the blink of an eye.
"Your medicine is precious, I will keep it for them." Yan Xin had no expression on his face, and his tone was so cold that there was no room for negotiation, as if this was an unquestionable decision.
As a result, they suffered and lost face, and finally, when they finally got a potentially life-saving medicine, it was ruthlessly "kept" by their boss.
Why are they so unlucky today!
This series of experiences was like a continuous dark cloud hanging over their hearts, making them want to cry but unable to shed tears. Their hearts were filled with unspeakable helplessness and grievances, but they dared not complain at all.
But who is Yan Xin?
He was an experienced and sharp-eyed Purple-Robed Envoy, and he could see clearly the little thoughts and calculations of his subordinates.
So, he said directly in a stern voice: "Everyone, be on guard——"
"Yes." Upon hearing the stern order from the purple-robed envoy, all the embroidered-robed law enforcement officers present became serious, their eyes instantly becoming focused and firm. The original trace of laxity in their bodies was swept away in an instant, and they quickly entered a state of high alert.
Seeing this, Yan Xin's expression softened slightly. "Team One, carefully scout the way ahead. Team Two, be sure to protect Princess Yixin and ensure her absolute safety. As for Team Three, split up and maintain strict security around the perimeter. Do not slack off or neglect anything."
"Sir Purple Envoy--" Team Three had just stumbled and was determined to make meritorious service!
Unexpectedly, the task waiting for him was to be responsible for guarding. He was immediately filled with dissatisfaction and could not help but shout out loud.
However, upon hearing this, the Purple Envoy's expression instantly grew even colder, his gaze slashing towards Team Three like a sharp blade. "If you cannot obey orders, immediately move to the front yard and Team Four will come and replace you."
The people in the three teams were all horrified when they heard this, and thought to themselves that something was wrong.
If they were transferred to the front yard, wouldn't their chances of washing away today's shame be even slimmer?
Thinking of this, they straightened their backs and shouted in unison: "Yes, subordinates obey orders."
Chu Ci just stood there quietly watching, his lips tightly closed without saying a word, his eyes calm and focused, until Yan Xin arranged everything perfectly.
A team had already entered the courtyard cautiously and carefully. Yan Xin then turned and walked to Chu Ci, bowed slightly, and made a respectful "please" gesture: "Princess Yixin, please come in!"
Chu Ci didn't hesitate and walked in.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, his eyes were instantly drawn to the uniquely shaped flower hedge. "Does this wall look familiar to you?" Chu Ci frowned slightly, staring intently at the flower wall with a look of barely concealed confusion.
At the same time, turn on the search and scanning functions of "Xing'er" to the maximum.
Sure enough, after a careful investigation, they found the same type of secret door in the corner of the wall as the one the second prince had dug in the secret room in the eldest prince's mansion.
Therefore, while the purple-robed people were still full of confusion and racking their brains to think about what on earth could be so familiar about a wall, Chu Ci raised his hand without hesitation, pointed to the corner of the wall, and shouted: "Dig it up there."
Upon hearing this, all the embroidered-robed law enforcement officers, including the purple-robed envoys, became stern and instantly entered a state of high alert, ready for battle, as if ready to face unknown danger at any time.
The purple-robed envoy seemed very satisfied with this and waved his hand elegantly at the team charging ahead, his posture showing his majesty.
The team did not hesitate at all and acted quickly and well-trained.
They worked in groups of three, cooperating with each other very well, and began an extremely careful search in the place indicated by Chu Ci.
Only after confirming again and again that there were no hidden weapons threats around did he hurriedly take the hoe and prepare to dig.
About four or five minutes later, just as everyone was holding their breath and a tense atmosphere filled the air, Chu Ci heard an urgent cry: "Sir, is there something down there?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci instantly knew that they had found the entrance to the secret passage. Just as he was about to rush over to take a look, he was quickly stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed purple-robed envoy.
Then, the purple-robed envoy, with a serious expression, solemnly ordered the team, "Put the detoxification pills in your mouth and continue digging."
"Yes." This team of law enforcement officers in embroidered uniforms became even more enthusiastic, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They gathered their energy and moved faster and more efficiently. In just two minutes, they successfully opened the entrance to the secret passage.
Then he stared at Chu Ci and the purple-robed envoy with burning eyes, his eyes full of anticipation and eagerness.
At this moment, the embroidered uniformed law enforcement officers of the third team could no longer hold back and immediately lost their temper, shouting anxiously, "Sir, please let our subordinates go."
Everyone in the three teams looked anxious, like ants on a hot pan, and their tone was filled with an irrepressible desire.
However, this time, before Yan Xin could refuse, Chu Ci said solemnly, "No, the Ji Yang Pills you just took can quickly eliminate the poison in your bodies, but the side effect is that for the next period of time, your bodies will become extremely susceptible to moisture."
"And the dampness beneath the ground is thick and pervasive, like layers of fog, possibly mixed with various unknown moisture and foul air. These damp and foul air are like hidden killers, difficult to detect but extremely harmful."
"If you go down now, the dampness will invade your body fiercely, which will not only greatly affect the efficacy of the pills and make it difficult for them to exert their intended effect, but it may also cause unpredictable serious physical damage, or even endanger your life."
The people in Team 3, although filled with reluctance, frowned and pursed their lips.
But after weighing the pros and cons in their minds, they can still clearly distinguish whether to achieve temporary success or to focus on lifetime achievements.
So, despite being full of helplessness, like eggplants hit by frost, they all retreated silently and said no more, but there was still a hint of loss in their eyes.
Seeing this, the Purple Envoy frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said decisively: "Team One has consumed a lot of physical strength, Team Two will go down the secret passage."
Then, the purple-robed envoy quickly turned around, looked at Chu Ci with a sincere and earnest gaze, and said respectfully and solemnly, "Princess Yixin, I hope you will take the trouble to report the situation here to the Crown Prince in detail."
Chu Ci knew clearly that Yan Xin didn't want him to follow him.
Chu Ci had no interest in this. She didn't want to know the secrets of the secret passage, so she agreed. "Okay, then arrange for one person from Team 3 to go with me."
