Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 109 Accidents

A deep voice came from the dark and smelly cave: "My lord, if you go up this exit, you will be on the left side hall. The incident has been leaked. Maybe there are already officers and soldiers all over it."

This is Dai Yubin talking, they have already touched a drain in the left side hall, extinguished the torch, only a faint ray of light can be seen outside from the drain.

Xiribari's voice was equally low and gloomy: "We have no way out, life or death is a matter of life and death. Xirigoulige, where is the entrance to the secret passage?"

Xi Rigoulige, who had been carried on the back by the tall and powerful Mauihan because of physical exhaustion, tried hard to recall, and said: "There are three organs that open the secret passage of the palace, and the three entrances are designed for different dangers. Ingeniously, this is the most accessible place through this drainage pipe. The old servant of this drainage pipe has never been down, so I don’t know where it will be when he climbs up from here. If this is really the left side hall, go up After that, you must identify the direction, the mechanism is at the gate of the main hall.

The old slave remembers that the opening mechanism of this secret passage is a stone sheep at the entrance of the second hall on the left side. As long as the stone sheep is twisted half a circle on the spot, it can be lifted upwards. The entry will be activated.The stone sheep and stone tiger are much larger than the real ones. It is estimated that they have never touched them before. The design of the mechanism is very clever. If they touch the stone sheep, if the method is not correct, it will not be triggered. Secret way. "

Dai Yubin said: "This is the imperial palace, how can the King of Yan renovate it even more than most of our imperial palaces? He won't make a lot of construction work here, Shiyang should still be there."

Xiribari gritted his teeth and said, "Have you heard that? After climbing out, no matter how many officers and soldiers there are, we must fight to the death. As long as we find the stone sheep at the gate of the second courtyard and open the secret passage smoothly, even if only one person climbs in, Can ignite gunpowder, hear you?"

Because they came in a hurry, it was impossible for anyone outside to meet them. Just in case, Xi Rigoulig was explaining the structure of the secret path along the way. Everyone agreed one after another, just because they deliberately lowered their voices, and because their faces were covered with towels, their voices were muffled.

As soon as Xiribari gave an order, they took off their anti-pollution leather jackets and pants, set up a ladder, and climbed towards the drain. This drain is in a bush under the fence of the palace promenade. A square stone slab is engraved with auspicious and wishful patterns, and many gaps are carved in the middle to allow water to flow down and filter out debris. The weight of the stone slab is no more than a hundred catties. These Mongolian warriors are all extremely powerful. The person who climbed up shook it hard for a while, and finally pushed the stone slab away.

Quietly probed out, the moon and stars were sparse, the surroundings were peaceful, lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace, and occasionally saw one or two eunuchs and court ladies passing by quietly, the man was overjoyed, and he closed his mouth and said in a low voice: "The Yan Palace is not on guard yet. , we have a great chance." He took out the flying claw from his waist, buckled it to the edge of the drain, and let the rope go down...

A group of seven climbed out of the drain, crawled in the grass, and quietly observed the movement around them.Xi Rigoulige squinted his old eyes and looked around, looking a little excited.After all, this is the place where he lived since he was a child. He spent most of his life in this world. At that time, Emperor Yuan Shun left the temple in a panic and fled north to Shangdu. He had a hasty farewell for 30 years. , he, an old man who is about to enter the earth, is suddenly in this place again, with all the past events, how can he not be filled with emotion?

Xiribari was not as emotional as he was. Xiribari stared around with a pair of bull's eyes, and asked in a low voice: "This goddamn thing is a bit turned around, Xirigoulige, the courtyard entrance you mentioned ,Where?"

Xi Rigoulige tremblingly stretched out his finger, pointed at the two red lanterns in front of the palace door, and said hoarsely: "My lord, it's at that door, the left side of the door...is a stone sheep, and the right side is a stone monkey. Pull the mechanism, and the passage is... just in the open space at the entrance of the palace. This mechanism is used to arrange the escape of the emperor and his bodyguards when foreign enemies have surrounded the palace, so it is easy to set stone steps under the opening. step into..."

Xiribari waved his hand, and the group rushed out. Lakshin had collected some weapons over the years and hid them in his residence. He originally wanted to wait until the time of action before distributing them, but now the people in other places have been killed. Those who were killed and those who were captured were captured. Only those who came out of Lakshin's house wore weapons.

Covered by the shadows of trees and flowers, they quietly touched the open gate of the palace, and looked out. There was an empty flat ground outside, and there were several tall buildings shrouded in the night in the distance.There is a stone carving on the left side of the door and under the cover of vegetation on the right side. It is very old and its outline is faintly visible.

Dai Yubin was ecstatic: "God help me, thanks to our prompt decision, we finally got ahead, hurry up, act now."

A few people hurried over, some of them held their knives and looked around vigilantly, and the others went straight to the left of the door. Only then did they realize why this mechanism was set up in such a place. The safer the place is, for no reason, no one will go to the palace to try to move a stone statue that has taken root and should not be able to move at all.

The main reason is that such institutions are built according to decades or hundreds of years of use standards. Although emperors hope to live forever, they must face reality and consider that the empire will eventually decline. Leave a way out for future generations.

Such a way out, maybe after two or three generations, the world will be at peace, and the descendants will no longer have the idea of ​​being prepared for danger in times of peace, and will not bother with and repair it at all. Things that can be changed at will according to the emperor's personal preferences, such as a tea bowl on a bookshelf and an armrest on a dragon seat, such small and delicate mechanisms are bound to be difficult to last.

The stone sheep has not moved for 30 years, and it took a lot of effort to push it. Under the command of Xi Rigoulige, the three big men pushed and pulled one by one, exhausting all their strength, and finally pushed the stone sheep away. It turned around with a quack, and then lifted up with the strength of the two of them, and the stone sheep's front legs flew into the air, like a horse and a man roaring together.

The stone sheep lifted up, but there was no abnormality on the ground, Xiribari couldn't help but said anxiously: "Xirigoulige, what's going on?"

Xi Rigoulige smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, my lord. I don't know how much effort it will take to open and close this mechanism once. Only in this way can it last for a long time. Please listen to me, my lord."

This book~ finishing w tidying up Xiribari closed his mouth and listened intently. There seemed to be some faint movement, but he couldn't tell what it was. He was about to ask again, when suddenly there was a rumbling sound behind him, Xiriba Ri hurriedly turned his head and saw that the flat ground was lifting up slightly.

It turns out that the power device used by this mechanism is a sand sinking method that can be maintained for thousands of years. It lifts up the stone sheep, affects the mechanism, and the quicksand begins to pour into the pipeline, and then drives other devices with gravity, and finally drives two huge stone pillars with the principle of leverage, thus Open the channel.

Hiribari was surprised and delighted, and tremblingly said: "Open, open, hurry up, enter the secret passage immediately."

Xiribari and Dai Yubin took the lead, rushing towards the hole in the ground that has been raised half a person's height and is still turning upwards. Just after running a few steps, there was a shout in the night, and the lanterns and torches on the roofs of the two palaces were lit together, and countless The torches were thrown out like a shower of stars, followed by a rain of arrows.

At the same time, clanging footsteps sounded, and under the corners of the dark halls around the square, neatly lined up soldiers suddenly appeared, like a human iron wall, bowing down to them from three directions. Press over.

"It's not good to have an ambush"

Mao Yihan screamed, rolled over on the spot, and scrambled towards the only life-saving passage. Dai Yubin and Xiribari moved faster, and Dai Yubin wanted to take Xirigou Lige, but just reached out to grab him A sharp arrow pierced through his arm, causing him to yelp in pain and roll away hastily.

Hastily rolled forward three times, looked up again, Xirigolige was still standing there, the old eunuch was pierced through the abdomen by a spear, and the point of the spear hit the ground, supporting his body from falling, but the spear As thick as a chicken egg, after being pierced through the chest like this, it is obvious that he will not survive.

The sharp arrows kept shooting on the slate floor, causing sparks to burst out. Dai Yubin couldn't care about anything else. Seeing that Xiribari's last foot had just retracted into the cave that had been raised, covering most of the arrow rain for him, he hurriedly Also climbed over...

"Keng"

Another heavy throwing spear made of fine iron was thrown over, and it hit the gap in the stone slab that was staggered on the ground, resisting the entrance of the secret passage that continued to open. In the underground mechanism, quicksand was still pouring into the mechanical pipe, while the exit was blocked The throwing gun made of fine iron was stuck, and the stone door immediately made a creaking sound...

Xia Xun was locked in a side hall behind the main hall. It turned out that when the emperor was resting in the Yuan Dynasty, this place was where the emperor temporarily retreated to drink tea, eat snacks, and meet with his confidants to discuss matters. Now Zhu Di It was transformed into a study-like place, but Zhu Di himself rarely came here.

The hall was very clean and candles were lit on the table. Xia Xun was not treated as a prisoner.He was sitting behind the desk, anxiously waiting for the news.

"Ha, you big liar, you actually told the truth once. My brother-in-law will definitely reward you heavily later on."

Ming'er, the little princess in a white silk jacket, came in with a smile on her face, waved her hands to the two guards and said, "Go out, don't look at him anymore, this guy is indeed here to report the news, he has already been caught alive, and also got their illegal money." evidence."

The two guards bowed in agreement, but did not go out, but moved towards the entrance of the hall.

Ming'er ran over bouncingly, Xia Xun quickly stood up, bowed and saluted: "Xiaomin has seen the princess."

Ming'er and Xiaoyao snorted, trying to look angry, but finally couldn't help laughing: "You big liar, you lied to me last time, didn't you?"

Xia Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, Xiaomin never expected to see the princess again."

Ming'er widened her eyes and said, "Then can you deceive people?"

She tilted her head to think about it, and then asked: "Then the two stories you told me, were you making up or did you hear the truth from others?"

Xia Xun laughed and said, "Is the princess still interested in those two stories?"

As soon as he said this, the ground shook suddenly. Ming'er screamed and fell forward, but Xia Xun grabbed her and said, "Princess, be careful." At the same time, his hands tightly grasped the table.

Ming'er was afraid and said: "What's the matter, could it be that Dilong turned over?"

Xia Xun changed his face and said, "I'm afraid that those fools have already ignited...?"

Seeing this situation, the two guards rushed towards them in a hurry. Before Xia Xun could finish his sentence, the ground suddenly sank, and the two of them fell into the ground together with the tables and chairs. When they arrived in front of them, the ground had collapsed, abruptly cutting off Ming'er's frightened scream...
