"The passage is inside this abandoned palace?" Wang Xiaohai pulled Princess Shu and followed the long-haired man. The sharp leaves of the pennisetum grass cut his clothes. "Princess Shu, be careful on the roadside. There are pennisetum grass, reeds, and reeds everywhere. If you are not careful, it will cut your clothes or skin."
"Yes, it's in this dilapidated hall." The long-haired man replied.
"I'm very curious, how did you find the secret passage?" Wang Xiaohai asked as he walked.
"Because one of our team members appeared in a shop specializing in selling antiques and found many items from the palace in the shop. Out of curiosity, we wanted to meet the owner of the shop and find out why he had so many treasures from the palace." said the long-haired man.
"I guess the antique shop owner won't tell him." Wang Xiaohai seemed to have stepped on a mollusk, so he quickened his pace.

"Is this the secret passage in this palace?" Princess Shu couldn't help but ask.

He successfully monopolized the secret passage. The guard later told his son this secret, and his son told his grandson, and his grandson is the owner of the antique shop." As he spoke, the three of them came to a ruined bedroom.
A man with a short beard was sitting on the half-broken bed in the bedroom. He was surprised to see the long-haired man bringing Wang Xiaohai over.
"It's you!" Wang Xiaohai recognized that this man was the one who shot off the arm of the third prince Zhou Jian.
