Chapter 1425 Layout Start 186.0
A group of people walked for at least half an hour in the damp secret passage, turning left for a while, turning right for a while, before they saw a faint light ahead. There is a long staircase.

"This..." Ying Wu sighed softly, and looked at the other people who also looked helpless, "The old Hou Ye built a maze under his mansion? It's winding, are we still waiting?" In the mansion?"

"Well, it's still there." Xue Ruitian nodded, and stood in place to sense the direction, "Let's go up, this should be my father's yard."

"Uncle's yard?" Shen Cha thought for a while, "Has it been sealed and never lived in?"

"Yes, but Xiaojing and I have searched this yard before, and we didn't find the secret room." Xue Ruitian sighed, "It seems that there are still things we haven't noticed."

"Otherwise, I'll go up and have a look first, and you walk up the steps slowly." Ying Wu looked at the wet steps, "Be careful, don't fall."

"Understood." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Close your mouth and nose, Miao Miao, and give him the antidote pill."

Jin Miaomiao responded, walked up to Ying Wu, and signaled him to open his mouth.

"Come on, Xiao Wu, ah!"

Ying Wu opened his mouth and ate the antidote pill that Jin Miaomiao gave him, and obediently put on the special veil she handed over to him.

"Then I'm going up."

"Go!" Shen Cha nodded, "Don't worry about us, we will walk slowly."

Ying Wu agreed, tapped his toes lightly, and reached the top floor of the stairs with a few vertical jumps. The place where a little light was missing should be the exit, but there was something blocking it, so he tried to push twice, Without pushing, he held up the torch and looked around, trying to find a mechanism that could open it.

After searching for a long time, he found that there was a pattern on the left wall that was different from the others. He reached out and pressed it, and heard a slight "squeak" sound, and the covered exit was exposed.

The people who were still slowly climbing the steps heard the movement, raised their heads to look, and saw the shadow of Ying Wu whooshing out, Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"You said..." Xue Ruitian curled his lips in disgust, "My father has made such a big circle and made this place look like a maze, and he still wants to go to his yard in the end. What's the point of him doing this?"

"Maybe..." Shen Cha rubbed his chin and looked at the steps above, "Maybe it wasn't used as the entrance and exit of the secret room, it was used for other purposes, and we just found it by mistake."

"I have a feeling that this place should be used as a secret way of survival to avoid being pursued." Jin Miaomiao watched as he walked, "This step should be used to resist assassins, it is a kind of obstacle. If it is us, we should You can jump up to the top floor just like Xiao Wu did just now, and you don’t have to climb up one step at a time like you are doing now.”

"I understand what you mean." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Maybe it's really what you said, this is for escape."

"Really?" Jin Miaomiao shook her head triumphantly, and quickly grabbed the plum bamboo that was about to fall, "Be careful."

"Thank you, sister Miaomiao, I'm scared to death."

"You, it would be strange if you could be frightened by this."

"Why can't I? Anyway, I'm also a delicate and weak girl, right?" Mei Zhu happily climbed up, "Speaking of which, we rarely have such activities, do we?"

"I thought I could go out for an outing this spring, climbing mountains, going outing, etc., but I didn't expect..." Xue Ruitian sighed, "I don't know how to go next! By the way, in the past few days, people from the Southwest Is it peaceful?"

"He Yidun has been pressing, but he is about to lose it." Mei Zhu snorted, "Their patience will basically be worn out, and after another two days, they will be completely crushed."

"They are quite tolerant. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been unable to stay."

"It means that He Yidun is a bit majestic. In fact, the people under him have long been impatient. And his brother, who doesn't agree with him, always persuades him not to be benevolent."

"His brother is very ambitious and wants to replace him." Mei Zhu raised an eyebrow at Jin Miaomiao who turned his head, "Let's see who can handle who!"

After hearing what the two of them said, Xue Ruitian wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he heard Ying Wuda's voice coming from the upper exit.

"Boss, Lord Hou, come up quickly, be safe!"

Several people looked at each other, jumped up one after another, fell to the top step, and were pulled out one by one by Ying Wu.

After a few people got out of the secret passage, their eyes relaxed a little, and only then did they see the scene in the so-called secret room.

"This is..." Shen Cha rubbed his eyes and looked at Xue Ruitian beside him, "If I remember correctly, it should be the library, right? If I remember correctly, I came here several times when I was young, every time Every time you come, you have to tell your uncle in advance, and your uncle will move a small stool and put it..." She pointed to the door, "Put it there, let me sit and wait, he will find it for me personally, and take me immediately when he finds it. go out."

"Yes, it's the library." Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "Because there are many precious books here, we didn't search here. I didn't expect..." She turned to look at the exit of the secret passage on the ground, and sighed softly , "This is where the universe lies!" He suddenly remembered, and patted his head lightly, "Xiao Wu, send someone to report to His Highness Ning Wang and the Duke of the State, please stop guarding in the gazebo, and go to Father's This library will come. Also, tell your people to restore the gazebo to its original state."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I have ordered people to go there just now, and now His Highness and Duke Guo should have gone this way."

Xue Ruitian nodded, lit the candles in the library with a torch, and stopped in front of each bookcase for a moment.

"My father once said that there are a total of 35 bookcases in this library, and each bookcase is marked with a number. According to the different types of books, they are placed in different cabinets. I didn't expect..." Xue Ruitian sighed, "There There are other uses."

Shen Cha didn't speak, but just looked around. She didn't think that this mystery would be hidden in the bookcase. With Old Master Xue's shrewdness, it wouldn't be placed where everyone wanted it.

Before she could figure out the mystery of the library, the group of people who were left in the gazebo had already arrived. They rushed to the door to welcome His Highness King Ning to the library.

"Huh?" His Royal Highness King Ning looked at the display in the library, and he chuckled, "You all stand aside, don't get in the way, this king knows how to open this secret room."
