Chapter 231: Penumbra
Jiang Yingcheng took a long shot but no one responded. Then he turned around and looked at the few people angrily.
"Oh my! I don't know who is so unreasonable that he actually locked us up in here!"
[Although this machine door will close automatically, if Cheng Cheng doesn't tell anyone, who will know? ]
Liaochen: “…”
Yu Xingmian: “…”
Jiang Xingran: “…”
Thank you for the invitation. There are now three more people in this world who know the truth.
"It seemed like someone was talking outside just now? Chengcheng didn't hear it clearly, did you guys hear it clearly?"
【Hehehe, Uncle Chen and Uncle Yu have such good hearing, they must have heard it clearly! 】
Not only did they hear the sound, they also heard the empty space outside, without any footsteps.
[Brother Tong said that there are "good things" in this secret room waiting for Cheng Cheng to discover. Cheng Cheng must go in and take a look, hehehe~]
The joy in their hearts had almost solidified. They looked at the girl's face and found that the corners of her mouth were almost unable to suppress the curve.
Finally, Jiang Yingcheng even raised his hand and covered his lips as if he was overly surprised.
Some people even wanted to ask her whether she still remembered the original purpose of entering this secret room.
After noticing that no one responded for a long time, Jiang Yingcheng raised his head in confusion: "Why don't you say anything?"
The three people who could hear the young man's inner voice didn't know how to answer for a moment. Instead, Luo Fuying, who had been following her silently, suddenly spoke: "I, I heard that voice, it's a bit like the Fourth Prince of Da Rui..."
The words "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince" were so soft and limp that even though they were somewhat gifted, they were still stunned for a moment before they responded.
Sheng Shixu also spoke up, "That's what I heard."
Jiang Yingcheng nodded angrily and said seriously: "Damn it! Fourth brother is so excessive! It seems that we can only wait for someone to rescue us inside!"
[Fortunately, the mechanism will not reset automatically. When the beautiful father sends someone, it can be opened directly! ]
Liaochen: “…”
Yu Xingmian: “…”
Jiang Xingran: “…”
At this point, they could only stay where they were and wait for rescue.
After another long while, Le Chen could no longer resist the young man's nagging, and he was also very curious about what the good thing that "Brother Tong" was talking about. After a brief eye contact with Yu Xingmian, he walked to the end of the corridor, ready to check whether there was any hidden danger inside.
Soon, Liaochen returned the same way.
He said simply: "No one, no organization."
So the group walked deeper into the secret room, with Luo Chen leading the way, Yu Xingmian following behind, and the four kids lined up in a row walking in the middle.
Turn left at the end of the corridor, and there is another bottomless corridor.
When Liaochen passed by earlier, he had already lit all the red candles on the walls on both sides. At this moment, the underground space was extremely bright, and even the stones in the corners were clearly visible.
He held the boy's hand and walked slowly forward, saying as he walked: "I have seen it before. The corridors ahead are all like this. There is nothing special about it——"
Before he could finish his words, the little guy's inner voice of complaint rang out: [That's because Uncle Lechen is too stupid! ]
Liaochen: “…”
He took a deep breath and continued, "There are traces of hidden weapons on the wall. Although I have tried many ways to trigger it but failed, you little princes should try not to touch it randomly, so as not to -"
"Huh?"
"You can move here!"
The little guy's excited voice and the feeling of being pulled backwards suddenly came together. Lechen closed his eyes tightly and turned around following the force of the little guy.
The wall on the side of him only opened a very tiny gap under the full force of the little guy's push. Lachen's face froze. He signaled Yu Xingmian to pull the little guys to one side, and then he pushed hard and pushed the whole stone door open.
Many atriums that were brighter than the corridor illuminated by candlelight slowly appeared before Chen's eyes.
For a while, Liaochen did not respond at all.
He had never had much money in his life, and he never saved much. However, there was always a lot of noble families who wanted to hire him as a bodyguard. He believed that he had seen many luxurious scenes, but he had never been as amazed as he was at this moment. He was so amazed that he couldn't move for a long time.
Dozens of night pearls made this side chamber as bright as day. Countless rare treasures were piled up in every corner in an orderly manner, forming a circle around the corners of the wall.
One of the walls was covered with long golden bricks that sparkled and even a little dazzling.
While he was distracted, a small black shadow flashed past him like a gust of wind. Le Chen was startled and was about to fly over to grab the young man when he heard Yu Xingmian behind him saying in a very low voice, "We've checked."
No danger.
Le Chen felt relieved and followed closely.
"Wow--"
【Brother Tong is not lying to me! 】
If she gave all these treasures to her father, not only would she have more pocket money, but her father would also be able to allocate more money to the military commanders who were fighting in various places!
Awesome!
After his big eyes darted around all the treasures in the room, he suddenly noticed the coffin lying quietly in the middle.
Jiang Yingcheng's rapidly beating heart suddenly stopped and his scalp went numb. He turned around to seek shelter, but Le Chen, who had been waiting behind him, grabbed him and hugged him.
"Uncle Chen, wuwuwu, wuwuwu——"
She cried with grievance on her face, but she was actually screaming madly in her heart.
【Ahhhhh Tong-hye! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?! 】
[Cheng Cheng was almost scared to death! She was almost scared to death ahhhhh!!]
Le Chen curled the corners of his lips in a slightly malicious manner.
As soon as the kid came in, he ran around everywhere without even noticing his surroundings. Although there was a mysterious "Brother Tong" keeping watch behind him, who could guarantee that "he" would always be on the kid's side?
While it's still safe, we should teach her a lesson.
Lechen held the little guy in his arms and walked slowly towards the direction of the coffin.
The coffin made of golden nanmu wood is simple and elegant. There are no coffin nails on the four circles. There is only a tablet on the altar in the front. A complete set of jewelry is placed where the offerings should be placed.
Liaochen stroked the lid of the coffin with his hand. The dust on it was obviously much less than that outside. He didn't know whether it was because the dust in the ear chamber was less than other places, or because someone had come in and cleaned it not long ago.
Le Chen, who was always in awe of his ancestors, tiptoed slightly and prepared to take a few people out first, and then send people to search after Emperor Mingze came.
[Eh?]
[A cenotaph? ]
[Is this the cenotaph of my uncle Prince Xin’s late mother? ! ]
