Chapter 447 Running in Place

"Master, I just remembered that today is the day for communication. I went to the study, and the letter said that there is black water under the moat. Master, do you still remember the rumor that there is an underground palace under the moat?" Concubine Lan will tell the city lord what she saw, and all the charming thoughts in the city lord's heart will disappear after hearing this. This is a big deal, and must be treated with caution.

"Ma'am, it's just that the black water is very dangerous. If one fails, the entire Yuecheng will be gone. Would you like to report it?" decide.

"Master, are you stupid? If we report to the imperial court, I'm afraid we will lose our lives before your papers are passed on. Don't forget, it doesn't matter if we die, but our son is still young. The matter must not be reported to the imperial court, otherwise it will lead to death. I see that His Highness the Crown Prince is a lustful person, so he is easily hooked, so there is no need to take him into consideration." Concubine Lan objected without thinking , she hasn't lived enough yet.

"Okay, what should Madam say, I will listen to Madam." Concubine Lan gave up when she reminded the city lord, and let Concubine Lan make up her mind.

"Master, you can use the dike's disrepair for a long time as an excuse. Let's dig the moat again. As long as it doesn't come into contact with open flames, there will be no serious problems. You can post a notice tomorrow and ask each family to send a strong man to come out. The common people are ignorant, very few people have seen the black water, and when the time comes when the black water is really dug, why don’t you say what you want?” Concubine Lan thought about it, no matter what the people above wanted to do with the black water, they would As long as you can get money.

"But digging the embankment will cost a lot of money. We haven't recovered our food at this juncture, so spending money on it will be too expensive." The city lord also knew that Concubine Lan's idea was feasible, but he just cared about the money what.

"My lord, this is called being reluctant to let the child be tied to the wolf. If we really dug out the black water, will the people above be able to lose our money? You need to look farther away, and you will not be able to say that the people above will not be able to wait for this meritorious service." I'm just happy to promote you." Concubine Lan looked down on the city lord's petty behavior who wanted to be cheap and was reluctant to spend money, but she still tried to comfort her in her mouth.

"It's better for Madam to think too far. Well, tomorrow morning, people will post a notice asking each household to produce a strong man, and then let the government officials surround the moat to keep people from approaching. Madam, then I'll go back to my room!" Figured it out The post-castle lord smiled wretchedly, and decided to continue with the unfinished business.

"Okay, master, let's go, don't make the princess wait in a hurry, the concubine seems to be very hungry and thirsty after hearing this." Concubine Lan also knows the urination of the city lord. Fortunately, she doesn't love this man either, as long as she stays Just follow the location of your main room.

In the northeast courtyard, Shen Xin had already arrived at the door, and as soon as she stepped in, she found that she had also entered Ximen Lin's formation. During the period, she also ran into a man in black. Shen Xin knew that this was the guard Qin Ao mentioned.

"Who are you, why did you break in here?" The man in black has been in the formation for about half an hour, but he can't get out no matter what, and he can't find his companion. Finally, he saw a living person , I was still a little excited.

"Brother, I am the maidservant of the city lord's mansion. Today I was found secretly wearing the clothes of the master, so I fled here, but I can't get out. Brother, please save me!" Shen Xin immediately pretended to be pitiful. , Nonsense, his aura is not fake, he is completely a master, but he will suffer a loss if he is head-to-head.

"I can't go out either, maybe I've encountered a ghost hit the wall." The man in black observed Shen Xin, and found that she was just a weak woman, so he relaxed his vigilance, and he sat on the ground bored, this is really evil Yes, he has been guarding here since he discovered that the City Lord's Mansion can lead to the underground palace. He has been guarding here for a whole year, but he has never encountered such a strange thing.

"Brother, don't sit down, I'm scared, I want to leave here quickly, why don't we find a way out together?" Shen Xin's voice was very soft, with a crying tone, looking very scared.

"Get out!" The man in black was in a depressed mood, and he couldn't hear a woman crying, which made his mood even worse.As soon as his words fell to his heart, he ran away at the fastest speed. If he didn't run away at this time, what if his secrets were revealed?
"Stop!" Maybe the man in black reacted, and he immediately got up and chased after the body and mind.Shen Xin ran all the way, and the voice of the man in black was behind him, feeling that the voice was getting closer, Shen Xin squeezed the silver needle in his hand, it seemed that his secret was still revealed.

"Sister, come with me." A pair of small hands suddenly grabbed Shen Xin, and Shen Xin felt that she came out with a light body. She was still at the gate of the courtyard, and it was Ximen Lin who pulled her.

"I was almost killed by you. Your formation even trapped me." Shen Xin pinched Ximen Lin's small face. This little guy's attainments in formations are really getting better and better. She It was like a headless chicken that couldn't get out just now.Seeing the man in black who was chasing her keep running and running in place, Shen Xin felt black. Could it be that she was also running in place in such a foolish way just now?

"Sister, don't worry, I didn't see you running when I came here." It's okay if Ximen Lin didn't explain, but when she explained, Shen Xin couldn't laugh or cry, she knew that she was definitely running in the same place just now, and foolishly thought that she had run a long way Woolen cloth.

"Where's His Royal Highness the Prince?" Shen Xin looked around but did not see Qin Ao's figure, and asked in question.

"He asked me to come up to pick up my sister. There is a lot of dark liquid underground, it's disgusting." After saying that, Ximen Lin led Shen Xin into the yard, this time he stepped into it.There is a Buddha statue in the yard. The gold on the surface of the Buddha statue has almost faded away. Ximen Lin went to the back of the Buddha statue and pressed it against the Buddha statue, and a tunnel appeared and went down.

"It's getting darker and darker, wait until I light a fire pocket." The further down the tunnel, the darker it became, Shen Xin was about to take out the fire pocket when Ximen Lin stopped him, and he took out a night pearl.

"Sister, just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also lit the fire, and he was so scared that he was sweating. He specifically explained that no fire can be lit here, and people will die." Ximen Lin didn't know why he couldn't light the fire, but this time he obediently obeyed , His Royal Highness seemed very serious when he spoke just now.

"Ximen Lin, did you just say that there is a dark liquid underground?" Shen Xin realized that he couldn't ignite the fire, and it was dark. Then he thought of the black water he saw before. There was only one thing that could not be exposed to fire. It was black and liquid. It must be.

"Well, sister, come with me, it's right in front." Ximen Lin didn't understand why Shen Xin suddenly had a clear expression.
