Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 178 The Bottom Line
After Han Wu heard that there was a secret passage underground in Ruidu City, he almost couldn't sleep or eat.Because the Rui people didn't know about it.

At that time, Han Wu's father had already passed away, and he was busy with his business of going back to the country of Rui, so he didn't have time to send a letter back to the country of Rui.

After he returned to the country of Rui, he immediately sent people to search for those underground passages privately.

After his efforts, he found a part of the tunnel.He ordered people to block most of them, leaving only a small part for emergencies.

And because he was at odds with Rui Jiang's mother and son, Han Wu didn't tell Rui Jiang about it.

"It seems that there are still undiscovered tunnels. The Qin army used the tunnels to attack the city?"

"No, they are only used to spread news for the time being. However, it is unknown how many internal agents they have buried in the city."

Han Wu sighed: "It's my fault. If we had conducted a comprehensive investigation in the city, we might have found all the tunnels."

"It doesn't change the outcome. You plug the old ones and they can dig new ones."

The land can be planted in Rui Du Nei, which means that the underground is loose and high-quality soil, not hard stones.As long as the enemy thinks of the idea of ​​digging a tunnel, Ruidu's underground will not be safe.

"Is there a secret passage underground in the palace?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked suddenly.Naturally, she asked this to save Cui Panpan's mother and son.

Han Wu remained silent.

Lin Xiaoxiao waited for a while before reacting: "Are you afraid that I will tell the Qin people? I can promise you that I will remain neutral in this battle, and the tunnel is only used to save their mother and child.

It is said that since the people of Qin know the tunnels in the city, they also know the secret road leading to the palace, why don't you hide it like this? "

Han Wudao: "I have blocked the old tunnel under the palace."

Lin Xiaoxiao asked: "Did you dig a new one?"

Han Wu was silent.

I figured it out, Han Wu lived outside the palace all the year round, and with his scheming, he would definitely leave a backup route for himself.

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed, and she already had an idea in her heart.

"Someone taught me to persuade you that those who know the current affairs are the best. Rui Guo can't keep the current situation. Even if you and Rui Jiang don't fall out, Rui Guo will become the possession of the big country.

You are already under the account of the Qin army, why not completely surrender to Qin.In the future, if he is reduced to a noble to save his life, he will be appreciated by the King of Qin, and maybe he will be able to get an official position and regain real power. "

"The Kingdom of Rui is still there, and I am Uncle Rui, so I will not seek refuge with the Kingdom of Qin."

"I heard that you once wanted to serve South Korea, which also caused you to be at odds with Rui Jiang. Now, what is the difference between Qin and South Korea?"

Han Wu just shook his head without explaining.

Han Wu did say that he could consider merging the country of Rui into South Korea, but now it is the country of Qin annexing the country of Rui.One is active and the other is passive.

Han Wu grew up and was educated in South Korea, and has personal feelings for South Korea, but not for Qin.

Han Wu pondered for a long time, and only said: "I can accept Rui Guo to go to the country, but I can't accept that I betrayed Rui Guo."

Rui Guo's annexation is the general trend of the world, and Han Wu can do nothing to stop it.But he did not allow himself to betray Rui to Qin.This is his bottom line.

Lin Xiaoxiao understood.

She didn't persuade Han Wu any more.Han Wu's ability to abide by his bottom line is worthy of respect.Lin Xiaoxiao could not impose her position on him.

After Lin Xiaoxiao left Xiaguan, she was directly teleported to Han Wu's palace in Ruidu.

Since the new tunnel leading to the palace was dug by Han Wu later, the most likely entrance is his palace.

His palace is in the southwest of the capital, far away from the royal palace and close to the southwest city wall.

This palace is not actually a palace, it is similar to the residence of ordinary nobles, and there are stretches of farmland in the yard of the house.

Since Han Wu was driven away, Rui Jiang had people seal up the house.The farmland in the yard is not taken care of, and the crops and weeds have grown into a pile, all of which are as tall as a man.

Lin Xiaoxiao remembered that when she first came here, Han Wu entertained her in the pavilion in the field.

Pushing aside the weeds, Lin Xiaoxiao came to the pavilion covered with dead branches and leaves.Look left and right, move here, move there, and find nothing suspicious.

Thinking of Huzigui's saying that the entrance to the tunnel in the city is a well, Lin Xiaoxiao went around the yard and found three wells in total.

The mouths of these three wells are narrow, and none of them seem to be able to pass in and out of adults.

Lin Xiaoxiao tossed and tossed in this house all day, searching the yard and the house almost like a carpet, but finally found no tunnel.

Lin Xiaoxiao began to doubt herself.

Of course, it's possible that she overlooked something and didn't find it.Authentic, it must be more secretive.

However, what if the idea that the entrance is in the palace is wrong?

Han Wu's residence is a public residence, and it has never been kept secret.Rui Jiang even closed the place immediately.

Would it be imprudent to choose such an obvious place for the entrance?

Han Wu must have dug this tunnel to guard against Rui Jiang.

Then he definitely can't set the exit in a place that Rui Jiang also knows, otherwise Rui Jiang will be finished waiting in the palace.

Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead.

You can't find it out of thin air like this, you need more information.

Lin Xiaoxiao teleported back to Mount Laiqi, and found the shopkeepers of Wanjia Study and Wanjia Restaurant.

"There are tunnels in the capital?!"

The two shopkeepers looked at each other, both of them couldn't hide their shock.

Looking at their expressions, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little disappointed.

"Rui Bowan meant that the news should not be betrayed to the people of Qin. But he was willing to tell me about it, that is, he would not stop us from using the tunnel to save their mother and child."

The shopkeeper of Wanjia Study said: "But the two of us are mainly responsible for the affairs of Chongyifang, and we are not familiar with things in the capital."

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned: "Who is in charge of the affairs in the capital?"

The shopkeeper of the restaurant said: "It was originally the steward in the palace who was in charge."

After Han Wu was expelled, his subordinates were killed and arrested by Rui Jiang.Those in charge at this level either surrendered to Rui Jiang or were killed.

Lin Xiaoxiao had a headache.

"Does Rui Bowan have close friends who can be entrusted with some secrets by him?"

The shopkeeper of the study said: "The capital city has been run by Rui Jiang for many years, how can there be anyone worthy of the Lord's entrustment?"

The shopkeeper of the restaurant said: "In the beginning, the Lord also made a few friends, but they were not trustworthy. Afterwards, they only talked about business, not personal matters."

Cui Panpan once told Lin Xiaoxiao that Han Wu likes to be alone.

At first, he went in and out with a fellow named Gu Yan, and later that Gu Yan was sent out to perform a mission, and he never saw him again.

As for Ji Huang and Lin Xiangzi, Han Wu had more trust in them, but it didn't seem to be enough to confess.

It may not be possible to directly ask someone to find out the authenticity, Lin Xiaoxiao can only choose the next best thing.

"Did you usually notice anything unusual, maybe it has something to do with the tunnel?"

The two shopkeepers shook their heads helplessly.

"Think about it again, for example, is there a place where he always goes alone, is there a room that other people are not allowed to enter, etc."

"what?"
