Chapter 230: First Entering the Secret Chamber

The four kids stood in a row in front of the door with their heads raised. No one spoke for a while.

The mechanisms on the gate are so complicated and dense that it is hard to know where to start.

After a while, Jiang Xingran turned around helplessly: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Yingcheng replied incoherently: "Cheng, Chengcheng, the debt teacher is taking the exam--"

Jiang Xingran: “…”

Jiang Yingcheng came to his senses when he realized that everyone was looking at him.

She seemed to be surprised at the fact that she was eating cakes, but she generously shared two pieces of the snacks in her hand with everyone: "Chengcheng, take some from father's table, come and have a taste!"

Several people were speechless for a moment.

Compared to where it was packaged from, they were more curious about where the kid took it out.

Jiang Yingcheng had no idea what everyone was thinking. After sharing the snacks, he raised his head in a daze and stared at the door in front of him with a worried look.

She was really thinking just now and didn't even notice when she took out the snacks from the secret pocket of her sleeve. She only knew that when she heard her seventh brother's question, her mouth was already filled with the sweet aroma of Yunpian Cake.

[Sigh...] This was the umpteenth time she had sighed today.

Jiang Yingcheng counted on his fingers the experiences along the way.

Drag fourth brother into the water.

Luo Fuying jumped into the pit.

The recording props are ready.

The wooden door on the stone steps was also left open, waiting for my father to send someone to search it.

Next, as long as we bribe Uncle Chen and his friends who have always been biased, we can successfully separate these two bad guys who have colluded with each other in the future.

But he was blocked outside by a government door.

【How abominable! 】

[I have the ability to solve the problem, but I don't have a suitable excuse! ]

Whose kid can figure out this kind of mechanism at the age of three and a half? !

Jiang Yingcheng tapped the small empty space in front of him with his toes, feeling very disappointed.

[Alas... Looks like I can only go back——]

"I can try." A pleasant voice suddenly rang out in the quiet space.

Jiang Xingran faced everyone's puzzled eyes and calmed down, "I was obsessed with mechanism arrays for a while, so I found some books to read privately. I have some impression of this mechanism, but I can't remember it clearly. I may need to try a few more times."

Two obvious sounds of swallowing saliva were heard in the air.

Luo Fuying was a little nervous: "Why don't we..." go back?

Jiang Yingcheng stuffed the remaining cloud cake into Luo Fuying's hands and took the fire starter from her seventh brother's hand diligently: "Then seventh brother, you try it quickly!"

Jiang Xingran exchanged a glance with Sheng Shixu across the dim firelight and walked forward calmly.

He doesn't know how to understand such a mechanism, but fortunately, the little guy's voice always comes out in time -

[Oops! Wrong! Wrong! I did that step too early!]

He retreated in a solemn manner.

[Wow——This one seems to have twisted! ]

He turned back half a circle with a serious look on his face.

[Eh, I think I missed the big round button in the middle——]

He started over again without changing his expression.

It was not until the "click" sound indicating that the door was unlocked was heard that several people breathed a long sigh of relief as if they had just realized that they could breathe.

The door opened automatically under the action of the mechanism. The people in front of the door looked at each other, then returned to their previous formation and walked in one by one.

There were rows of torches hanging on the walls on both sides of the entrance. Jiang Xingran walked forward and lit one of them, handed it to Sheng Shixu, and walked in another direction.

The dark underground corridor finally became much brighter.

Then, there was a series of exclamations.

"Wow--"

Jiang Yingcheng's eyes almost popped out: "This place seems to be very big——"

"Yes," a deep voice responded, "it is very big."

"Is that so?! This is simply an underground palace. Wow, look at this——"

The excited response suddenly stopped, and Jiang Yingcheng turned his head stiffly as if in a slow-motion replay and looked at his seventh brother who had been standing in front of him.

Jiang Xingran: “…”

Jiang Xingran: "What are you looking at me for?"

The sound clearly came from behind, so it could only be Sheng Shixu's.

Jiang Xingran also suddenly noticed something strange and his body suddenly stopped.

"It's not me." Sheng Shixu, who was walking at the end of the team, suddenly spoke up.

The turbid air seemed to have stopped flowing at that moment. Jiang Yingcheng froze like a statue. After a long while, his expression slightly moved and he opened his mouth to scream: "Ah, wuwuwu——"

Lechen stepped forward immediately and covered the boy's mouth with his hand: "Don't call me Your Highness, it's us!"

Le Chen and Yu Xingmian stood side by side behind a few people, both with expressions of toothache on their faces.

The three words "little ancestor" were almost about to come out of his mouth, but fortunately he stopped in time, thus preserving the little guy's great face in front of his new friends.

They were not supposed to take part in the games of the princes and princesses, but after hearing their thoughts, no one would dare to let a group of young people explore the secret room alone.

Jiang Yingcheng turned around: "Wow wow wow——"

[Uncle Chen is so annoying because of the woooooooo, Cheng Cheng is so scared! 】

Le Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at the young fellow, gritted his teeth and uttered a "huh", then took the torch from the seventh prince, stepped over a few people and walked forward a distance.

The firelight illuminates a wider area, so people can see more space.

What comes into view is a spacious space about the same size as the courtyard above, fully equipped with all kinds of furniture. It looks even more comfortable than life on the ground.

Lechen walked to the square table in the corner holding a torch, reached out and brushed the dusty table, and his face darkened on the spot.

"There's something wrong with this dust," he said.

The square table was old-fashioned, and the rough wooden tabletop showed some signs of decay, but the dust on it was not as thick as one would have imagined.

Further ahead is a simple study.

There are several books left by ancestors on the bookcase dug out directly from the wall. There is even a chess table in the corner with an unfinished chess game on the chessboard, which is only covered with a thin layer of dust.

Lechen paused and walked back quickly: "Get out!"

This is definitely not a place where they can play around at will!

【ah……】

The young man's slightly guilty voice sounded hesitantly, and Lu Chen immediately had a very bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment——

“Ka——”

The faint sound of the lock core falling was like a thunderclap in everyone's ears, and then -

"Oh."

The Fourth Prince Jiang Huai'an's sarcastic and disgusted voice came through the door clearly: "Fight me."

Liaochen: “…”

Yu Xingmian: “…”

Jiang Xingran: “…”

In the deathly silence, Jiang Yingcheng paused for a moment strangely, and then returned to the door with an extremely exaggerated expression, patting the door "Pa pa pa" -

"Open the door!" Jiang Yingcheng clapped and shouted, "Chengcheng is my father's most beloved little princess, whoever is outside, open the door quickly!!"

Liaochen: “…”

Yu Xingmian: “…”

Jiang Xingran: “…”

Don't you know if there is anyone outside?!
