"It's not a secret compartment, it's a secret passage!"

Several soldiers of the Imperial Guards picked up their spears and continued to pry open the bricks. Then they found that some of the bricks were completely glued together.

Once they pried it open, they found a stone door that was opening and closing. If it weren't for the stone bricks covering it, everyone wouldn't have searched for so long without finding it.

After several soldiers of the imperial guards exhausted all their strength and their faces turned red, they finally opened the door of the secret passage.

A stone staircase leads to a deep cellar.

At this time, a soldier of the imperial guards was preparing to light a torch and go in to take a look.

But he was pressed to the ground by a lieutenant, who was extremely angry and said, "Are you out of your mind? If there is gunpowder all over the place, do you want everyone here to go to heaven?"

The other soldiers who were lighting oil lamps or torches stopped what they were doing.

If a spark detonates the explosives, it is estimated that no one present would survive.

At this time, Qin Jianjia also said: "No fire is allowed, and the knives should be tightened a little bit. If a spark is created, we will all be dead."

Everyone swallowed.

Xu Qiu looked at the deep cellar and was already daydreaming.

[This cellar is not an ordinary cellar. It not only contains gunpowder, but also a large number of compartments and secret rooms, weapons, armor, food, and of course a four-clawed golden robe. This is his private collection room.]

Qin Jianjia heard this and stared at the deep tunnel with a bright light.

Then he took the lead, took a step forward and entered the deep tunnel. Xu Qiu followed closely behind him. He wanted to see An Tingwu's small collection room.

Other captains and soldiers also followed.

As they walked, everyone was very careful, for fear of igniting the gunpowder in the cellar.

Less than a moment.

When everyone came to the cellar, he looked around. Fortunately, there was still some light in the cellar during the day, so he could just see clearly.

The area here can no longer be described as a cellar, but rather a huge basement.

Several rooms were tightly locked. After coming down, a strong smell of gunpowder lingered in the basement.

Everyone frowned, the amount of gunpowder here was beyond imagination.

A lieutenant said to Qin Jianjia: "General Qin, the amount of gunpowder here is larger than expected."

"Well, order people to start moving here. If there aren't enough people, continue to call in the imperial guards." Qin Jianjia ordered slowly.

She was giving the order.

But he found Xu Qiu looking around, as if looking for something.

Qin Jianjia said to the surrounding officers, "Follow him and ensure his safety."

The captains all nodded.

They all came to Xu Qiu.

Qin Jianjia also followed behind Xu Qiu, watching him groping for things.

Qin Jianjia just heard Xu Qiu's thoughts. There are some incredible things in this basement, not just gunpowder.

At this moment, Xu Qiu didn't care. He just wanted to make a big deal out of it so that An Tingwu would have no chance to turn things around. After all, the person who wanted to kill him couldn't be kept alive. This was the life lesson he learned in the world of immortal cultivation.

Xu Qiu is very careful about his life.

"The secret door should be here."

He muttered to himself.

He casually touched a strange brick and pulled it out, and a mechanism appeared inside.

When he pressed the switch, he heard a rumbling sound coming from the basement.

A stone door in front of him slowly opened, raising some smoke and dust.

When everyone was covering their noses with their sleeves.

Xu Qiu had already stepped over the threshold and entered, only to see that it was also a huge warehouse.

The captains who followed him were all stunned when they saw the scene before them, "This... there are actually a large number of weapons stored here!"

I saw rows of shelves hung with spears, swords, and armor that shone with cold light.

The level of sophistication of these armors is in no way inferior to those of the Imperial Guards in the imperial city, and these weapons are very expensive!

"They are hiding armor and weapons. They are planning a rebellion!"

At this time, Xu Qiu suddenly reminded them, "Don't just stand there. There is more than one weapons depot. There are fifteen in the entire basement. Remember, have people carry the weapons separately from the gunpowder."

Now, everyone has already admired Xu Qiu, and a lieutenant said without pretense: "I will supervise them well, Mr. Xu, you can rest assured!"

"Um."

Xu Qiu responded softly.

Continue walking towards the depths.

The other lieutenants couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else inside?"

"Well, there is a dragon robe." Xu Qiu said simply.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd exploded.

"Dragon robe?!"

"Indeed, they are rebelling, and they have come to the capital openly. They deserve to be killed!"

"I don't know which family wants to rebel."

They were talking about it.

The last time, the only person who successfully reached the top by relying on his huge means and strength was An Qintian.

However, before this, she had already used various means to win over the hearts of the military and gather the army. Half of the civil and military officials in the court were her people. Therefore, An Qintian ascended the throne as a woman and became the seventh emperor of Daqian.

But it is obvious that the guy who is secretly hoarding the arms has no intention of obtaining the throne through legitimate means.

However, when the captain who asked "I wonder which family wants to rebel" finished his words.

As Xu Qiu walked, he said calmly, "Your fourth prince An Tingwu."

Xu Qiu's words were like a thunderbolt, striking the crowd.

The phrase "a bolt from the blue" best describes everyone's mood at the moment.

Everyone's face was filled with shock.

He followed Xu Qiu in amazement, his steps becoming stiff.

Everyone's mind felt confused and their thoughts seemed to be frozen. They couldn't believe that the Fourth Prince actually wanted to rebel?

Only Qin Jianjia, who had been following behind Xu Qiu, remained calm. After all, she had even experienced the Qin family being framed and almost having her entire family go to jail, so she didn't feel that surprised.

While everyone was imagining things.

Xu Qiu had already found the door and opened it casually, only to see a dragon-patterned robe appear in front of everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but be startled when they saw the yellow robe.

"It's really a dragon robe!" a captain couldn't help but shout out.

Looking at everyone's dazed expressions, even their breathing was sluggish, as if they had never seen the world before.

Xu Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still standing there?"

At this moment, everyone finally reacted.

They all nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, His Majesty is urging us."

"Someone come quickly, move everything out of here."

The captains acted quickly, ordering their subordinates to quickly move the dragon robe and everything in the warehouse.

Xu Qiu returned to the ground with Qin Jianjia.

At this time, Xu Qiu noticed that Qin Jianjia's eyes were always on him.

He coughed dryly, blinked his eyes and said, "Are you curious? Curious that I know all this?"

Qin Jianjia nodded first, then shook her head and said, "Everyone has their own secrets, this is normal."

She was indeed not in a hurry to listen, because she could hear Xu Qiu's inner voice. There was a long time to go, and sooner or later she would know everything.

Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Xu Qiu didn't plan to say more.

However, not long after they came out, Qin Jianjia suddenly hugged Xu Qiu from behind and protected him.

Ying said: "Danger!"
