Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1026 Opening the Chamber of Secrets 1.0
Standing in front of the closet door, Hei Lu'er and A Piao exchanged glances with each other, and at the same time nodded slightly at each other.

The night that just passed, the two of them helped Yishibu and Wushudan set up a fortification around the Qingxia Palace. If there are really people who are not afraid of death to break into the palace, let them come and go. .

After a busy night, Ah Rou took a few people to the dining room to make everyone's breakfast when it was dawn. After everyone had eaten and packed their bags, they gathered in front of the wardrobe in the inner hall.

Ah Piao turned around and looked at the ten people standing behind her who were about to follow them into the secret room, and raised her eyebrows at them.

"We're ready to go in now, are you all ready?"

"Get ready, please rest assured, my lord!"

"It's time to start!" Ah Piao nodded towards Hei Lu'er, "Master Hei, please."

A Piao gave Hei Luer the space facing the closet door, watched him open the closet door, fumbled for the mechanism, and then heard a creaking sound, the wall behind creaked open , exposing the unknown space with black holes inside.

When the opening of the hole was revealed, Hei Lu'er and A Piao simultaneously lit the torches in their hands and threw them in.

"What are they doing?" Yishibu tugged at Wushu Pill, and asked in a low voice, "The light of Huozhezi has gone out."

"Just to see if there is anything bad in it. Once some secret passages are opened, there may be poisonous gas, or it may explode."

Seeing that the light of Huozhezi was extinguished, Hei Luer and A Piao waited for a while, but there was no sound in the secret passage, and they were relieved at the same time.

"Leave me outside!" Hei Lu'er and A Piao bowed their hands to Yi Shibu and Wu Shu Dan, and walked in without looking back.

Ah Rou watched her sister enter the dark secret room, she looked calm on the surface, but her hands were tightly clasped together, and her breathing became slightly short of breath.

"Don't be nervous, don't worry!" Wu Shudan looked at her and comforted her, "Your sister is a measured person."

Ah Rou looked at Wushu Dan and nodded slightly.

Previously, Hei Luer and her sister had won over a few people with Wu Shudan and Yishibu, and followed them into the secret room, but they were not among them.She understands her sister's approach. There are two sisters, one must stay outside. If something happens to the people inside, people outside can also contact General Shen and tell her the latest news about Yiqing Mansion, Jinwang Palace and Wanyanping. Happening.

But knowing it all, she was still very worried about her sister. If she could follow her sister, she would feel much more at ease than now.

"Trust them! Believe in their ability and judgment!" Wu Shudan looked at Ah Rou's clenched hands, and sighed softly, "They will definitely come back safely, not only by themselves, but also with His Royal Highness back."

"I know!"

Ah Piao, who had already entered the secret path, could more or less feel Ah Rou's uneasiness, and she sighed softly.

"What's wrong? Worried about Ah Rou?"

"On the contrary, Ah Rou is worried about me." A Piao took advantage of the little light from the fire, turned her head and glanced at Hei Lu'er, and then focused on the surrounding environment, taking pictures of her up, down, left, and right. , reached out to stop Hei Luer, "Wait a minute, there are footprints here."

Hei Lu'er also found a few scattered and incomplete footprints scattered on the ground. He made a few gestures towards the back to make the people behind stop temporarily, while he squatted down and observed carefully. Those shoe prints.

"This..." A Piao illuminated the prints with a torch, and carefully observed the patterns on the soles, "This pattern looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere." She looked at Hei Lu'er, "What do you think, sir? "

Hei Lu'er looked at the pattern on the sole of the shoe, and frowned slightly. This mark was exactly the same as the pattern on the sole of the person who once assassinated their young master Chu Ran. It seems that the one who kidnapped Yan Ping this time was the one they had been staring at. the gang.

It's just that it was a surprise to see this shoe sole pattern in Yiqing Mansion, and I don't know which family has any connection with those people.

"This..." He shook his head towards A Piao, "I haven't noticed it, have you seen it?"

"I've seen it once or twice." Ah Piao nodded, and then took a photo of the surrounding ground with the torch in his hand, and found not only these footprints, but also some traces of dragging on the wall. "The owner of the pattern on the sole of the shoe belongs to the person who almost became His Highness's uncle. That person has been to the palace and met His Highness. During the few times he came, I was next to His Highness and saw this shoe print."

"When you said that, I remembered that he was a scholar. My aunt liked him very much. She brought him into the palace two or three times just to let His Highness have a look. If His Highness has no objections, the two of them are going to get married. However, I don’t know why there is no more details about this marriage. Is it because the marriage was delayed, or it was completely pornographic. No one said it, and my aunt never mentioned this person again. However, looking at it now, it should not be delayed or pornographic. Yes, but my aunt was controlled by that person. Perhaps the kidnapping of His Highness this time was because that person threatened Auntie with something, asked her to take him in through a secret passage, and controlled His Highness by using a special method from Auntie's house. .”

"Your Excellency, you mean that my aunt has a handle, and a very serious handle has fallen into the hands of that person?"

"Well, Auntie really has a lot of secrets!" Hei Lu'er carefully studied the traces of dragging, "Judging from these traces, His Highness should have been dragged away. At that time, she should be in an unconscious state."

"And there are traces of dragging on both sides, and they were carried out at the same time, which means that His Highness is not the only one who was dragged away."

"And aunt." Hei Lu'er nodded, "Let's look further ahead."

"The traces of dragging get heavier and heavier as they go forward." Ah Piao took a few steps forward, beckoning to Hei Lu'er, "Come on, look here."

Hei Lu'er followed two steps closely, walked to A Piao's side, carefully observed the traces on both sides of the secret passage, and nodded slightly.

"Our guess should be correct." He reached out and grabbed A Piao's arm, pulling her behind him, "You are behind me, the further you go, the closer you are to danger, away from that group of people It's getting closer."

Ah Piao didn't resist, nodded slightly, and gestured to the people behind.

"Also, on the way ahead, try not to talk, and don't let the other party notice our existence."
