Chapter 379 The Secret
Yuegui nodded: "Hurry up and move things!"

Liuli had already come down and tiptoed into the backyard with the maids. Five guards followed them, and the remaining five were responsible for moving things in.Liuli entered the West Wing Room which had been heavily relocated in the backyard, and then glanced outside the door. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she reached out and dug in under the left window, then lifted the carpet in front of the grand master's chair, and saw the floor. A piece of the bluestone floor tile under the felt was missing, revealing a hole the size of a brick two feet square!
And the bottom of the cave was so bright that someone had already lit a lamp!

"Grandma beware!"

Kikyo greeted from below, and then stabilized the wooden ladder.

Everyone in the room was shocked except Yue Gui and Ji Xiaoquan!Liuli raised her head halfway down and said, "Hurry up!" Then she quickly fell to the bottom of the cave.

The people behind came down one after another, and when they saw the inside, they turned out to be two very spacious basements, with not only beds and couches, but also water and rice!It can be said that there should be everything in it for daily use!
After Liuli got off the ground, she said to Ji Xiaoquan: "Go and let the carriage out, and then Ye Tong will bring four guards to meet the general! There are five people left, send three people to the ground to lie in ambush, and Liu Wei will take someone to stay behind." ! If you don’t see us inside after you come back, press the secret button on the head of the bed to open the secret passage in the back room. There is a secret passage there, and you go out from there to chase us!”

After finishing the order, the few people rushed to execute it without saying a word.

At this time, the atmosphere in the basement gradually relaxed. Liu Wei walked through the inner and outer rooms, and couldn't help asking curiously: "When did grandma make this hole?" The outside and here are obviously newly dug. , it will definitely not be left over from a long time ago, he can still see this.

Liu Li raised her lips and smiled, but didn't answer.

Although she did not witness the destruction of Dou's family back then, more than 300 people died, so how could it not leave a deep impression on her heart?When she took down Wanlou, she already knew that Qi Yunhao had made an appointment with Lu Zhao. In this way, she would definitely face danger in the future. Since the shop needs to be rebuilt, why didn't she take the opportunity to help Qi Yunhao and herself? How about leaving a way out?

Only Fan Yun and her knew about this matter from the beginning to the end. The reason why they thought of this idea at the beginning was because the old lady left her a dowry with the bookcase with hidden compartments in her study. The craftsmen invited are also foreigners specially invited from afar. Although the wages are more, they have already left their hometown after finishing the work. It's very confidential.

Even Ji Xiaoquan told him Liuli only a few days after the accident in the palace. She asked him to clean up the basement, and then got the code right.As for Yuegui Haitang, she only told her in the past two days, because she was afraid that she might not be able to meet if she got separated.As for Qi Yunhao, this secret was written in the kit she handed him when he left the house yesterday.

Du Rui rushed to Dingbei Palace, the palace was surrounded by officers and soldiers, the gate of the palace was closed, the courtyard was brightly lit, Qi Yunjing was leading the soldiers to confront the officers and soldiers at the east corner gate.Du Ruize immediately stepped forward, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door immediately rushed up and surrounded him.Du Rui said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way! I want to enter the mansion!"

The leading general recognized him, and knew more about his friendship with Liuli, so how could he agree to let him in?Immediately, he ordered people to attack him.Du Rui swung his gun and jumped out of the encirclement, and drove the horse directly towards the door.Qi Yunjing hesitated for a moment, then let the door open, and when he entered, he quickly asked someone to block the door again.
After Du Rui entered the door, he went straight to the Chaoqing Hall. Qi Yunjing saw his intention and immediately rushed up: "Master Du! My sister-in-law has left the house!"

"Where did she go?" He reined in the horse's head, his voice trembling a little.

"I don't know where she went." Qi Yunjing said angrily: "Anyway, she heard that something happened in the city earlier, so she took the people in the yard to escape." He gritted his teeth, obviously for Liuli outraged by his selfishness.

Du Rui frowned, Liuli was not the kind of person who would run away, and in the current situation, wouldn't it be like sending a sheep to a tiger if she took people out of the street?She would not be so stupid as to think that escaping at this time would be safer than staying in the palace!
After thinking about it, he still drove his horse into Chaoqing Hall.

But there was no one in the Chaoqing Hall right now, not to mention Liuli, not even half of the maids and servants around her were there. respond.Qi Yunjing followed in and said: "I have searched here and there, and there is no one at all. Not only did she escape by herself, but even the servants in the courtyard were let go!"

Du Rui turned around suddenly: "Did she say where to go?"

"I don't know!" Qi Yunjing shook his head.

Du Rui was speechless, and his mood became more and more anxious.Driving back to the front yard of the palace, looking at the people on the inner, third and outer floors around the door, he suddenly noticed something strange. Although these people were very powerful, they didn't seem to want to rush into the palace to commit murder. But just surrounded to prevent people from coming in and out, didn't they come here to kill Qi's family members?

He looked back at Qi Yunjing again, only to see that apart from his anger towards Liuli, he did not show any dissatisfaction with the officers and soldiers. He even looked calm when facing them.

He frowned and asked, "Where are the female relatives?"

Qi Yunjing pointed to the back and said, "They are all in the upper room."

Du Rui glanced at the soldiers waiting at the door, and asked, "Do you want me to stay and help?"

"Oh, no need." Qi Yunjing said: "With me here, these people will never want to enter the gate of my palace!"

Du Rui glanced at him, and didn't say much. He raised his silver gun and danced a cold light towards the door. The officers and soldiers outside the door didn't dare to hurt him, so he galloped away after he had made his way out. out.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was already as severe as ice, and the empress had surrounded the Qianqing Palace with her own soldiers. Although Jiang Che also had [-] forest troops in his hands, it was impossible for them to break in, but such a Come on, the people in the palace can't get out either.

The imperial physician in the palace and the four cabinet ministers all stood quietly in front of the emperor's dragon couch, Lu Zhao was also sitting beside him, and Concubine Luo Gui had also arrived, sitting on the ground on the altar, holding the emperor's hand.

"It's impossible to go out now, we can only wait for King Dingbei and the Great General to bring people back!" Jiang Che looked at the people outside the room and said.They all saw the signal flare that Du Rui sent out just now, and it was obvious that Qi Yunhao was out of danger.As long as he escaped from danger, he would be able to reach the camp smoothly and lead the army to Miyagi together with King Dingbei.

Lu Zhao nodded silently, then turned his head to look at the motionless Holy Majesty on the dragon bed, and said, "It's no longer a matter of detoxification, but a fight to the death tonight. Even if the Holy Majesty wakes up and issues an edict to abolish the crown, the Empress and the others will not let this The summons is announced to the world. We must protect the Holy Majesty, and we must also kill Lu Jin and take down the Queen! Otherwise, not only will we lose the battle, but the Holy Majesty will also die at their hands!"

Hearing that he personally said that he killed Lu Jin, the four ministers were all stunned.In their minds, no matter what kind of palace change is extremely illegal, but it is different now. The empress and Lu Jin are so disregarding the safety of the emperor and attacking together. This has obviously violated the way of being a minister. Therefore, Although they were astonished by this, but until now, they could only obey the authority.

The queen stood outside the palace gate, with her back turned to the palace gate and stared into the distance. In the distance, the sound of fighting could be heard from all over the palace gate, mixed with the screams of people and the neighing of horses. Everything showed that tonight was extraordinary.She has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and she is unwilling to take a wrong step, so that Lu Jin can be sent to the throne of God safely and smoothly. She doesn't want him to bear blood debts, and she doesn't want him to go so hard all the way, but Unexpectedly, after a lot of deliberation, she finally took the road of forcing the palace to be a superior.

What is the emperor, is the emperor who has three thousand in the harem, and what is the empress, is the steward who takes care of the beauties in the inner palace for the emperor, they are not husband and wife, there is no love between husband and wife, for all empresses, they have nothing to rely on Husbands, only their sons are their reliance!So she could tolerate Concubine Luo Gui monopolizing that man, but she would never let the crown prince be hers.Why should her son give up the crown prince's position to her son when her husband gave it to her for nothing?
"Is the prince back?" She turned around and asked the guard behind her.

The guard bowed his head: "I have already arrived outside the palace gate, and I am fighting with the Qi family army stationed at the palace gate."

"What are you still doing?" The queen roared, "Why don't you send someone to help you?"

The guard hurriedly held up the knife and went down.

The queen pointed to the rest of the soldiers: "Rush in! Kill Lu Zhao, capture Concubine Luo alive, give the marquis, and reward ten thousand taels of silver!"

Liuli read the book for half a day in the basement, but she didn't feel sleepy. The sound of horseshoes on the ground came from time to time, and sometimes the sound of officers and soldiers smashing the door.Should Lu Jin send people to search them around?The current palace should have been watched, and their people must have known that she had left the palace. How could they allow her to escape at this time?

I just don't know what happened to Qi Yunhao and the others?

She twisted her handkerchief and walked around twice, when suddenly there were cat meows outside the cave entrance, she quickly gave Liu Wei a wink, Liu Wei stepped forward and moved the cave entrance which was buckled backwards, a guard jumped down, Reported to her: "Grandma, Master Du has arrived at Osmanthus Alley. He seems to be looking for someone."

Liuli hurriedly said: "Bring him in quickly!"

The guard went out in response, and the hole was closed again.After a while, the cat meowed again, Liu Wei opened the hole, and Du Rui's anxious face appeared above!
"Du Rui! Come down quickly!"

Lucy waved to him.

He jumped down quickly.The guards turned around and went to ambush again, and the hole was closed again.

"Are you okay?" Du Rui held her arms and looked at her carefully.

"I'm fine!" Liuli nodded, and hurriedly said: "Why are you here alone? What's going on in the palace?"

"I'm here to look for you." Du Rui looked at the people in the room and saw that they were all close friends of Liuli, so he told the whole story, "I just came out of the palace, and I thought you wouldn't be able to leave the city, so I went Walking around the street, trying to see if I can bump into you. Just knowing you're okay."
