Chapter 381 A Secret Door (Update 4.22)

A row of palace guards consists of 14 people, divided into two columns of seven.

Shen Lie walked in the middle, with his head slightly lowered.

Song Du's approach made Shen Lie subconsciously raise his eyes and look forward.

An Yuping didn't keep his eyes on Song Du for too long, he quickly averted his eyes, don't ignore him at first, and leave calmly.

It's just that this shocking feeling can't go away, and An Yuping's heart is surging.

This is really too courageous... Does Song Shangshu know what will happen if he is bumped into by someone now?

An Yuping wanted to turn around and take another look, but he held back, fearing that more people's eyes would be drawn to him.

Song Du's face was pale, and he felt that everything around him was swaying, and his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand up.

"Young man..." Song Du called out in a very soft voice.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Lie said in a low voice, his voice soft.

Song Du thought that he had been an official in the court for decades, and he had never seen any kind of big scene, but it was the first time in his life that he lost his composure like this.

His feet were trembling, and he couldn't breathe slowly. If he hadn't supported himself strongly, he might have fallen to the ground and lost consciousness.

Huang Mi followed Song Du, and just now kept his head down, walking with his head muffled, he didn't know what happened, and looked at Song Du's convulsive hand holding the weapon in confusion.

After passing this section of the road, the surrounding area became much quieter, before Shen Lie said, "Who was it just now?"

Song Du still hadn't slowed down, and walked beside him, saying as he walked, "It's An Qiuwan's youngest son, An Yuping."

Shen Lie nodded and said, "Your Excellency, do you need to find a place to relax first?"

"No, no," Song Du said, "It's almost here."

The attic of Zhaixingtai can already be seen, and if you go a little further, there is a "shortcut". Taiyin Lake is now frozen like a mirror, and this "shortcut" is deep in a secluded forest, surrounded by winter trees. The dead branches are completely withered, and it is extremely difficult to be noticed.

The lake mirror was icy so thick that Song Du and Huang Mi didn't feel afraid when they stepped on it, as if they were walking on flat ground.

Passing through Taiyin Lake safely, avoiding those lake pavilions and waterside pavilions, the group quickly arrived at the Star Picking Tower.

There were still people in the main hall of the Zhaixing Building. They entered through the back side door and went to the machine search room.

The main hall of the machine-seeking room is open and spacious, and the four walls are all one-foot-long and wide cube-shaped hidden compartments, a total of 120 four.

Each hidden compartment of the mechanism can be rotated on all sides, and four different ancient runes are engraved on it.No matter how these dark grids are rotated, or how many times they are rotated, the runes on the dark grids can form a huge star map of the sky, which can echo with the stars in the sky.

It represents the Universiade, represents the mountains and rivers, represents the Vientiane, and represents the universe.

But the astrological map of the sky screen is too esoteric, and the situation of the astrolabe is difficult to determine. In the past ten years, only two people have been able to completely conclude the situation, divining the sky and knowing the machine.

One is Xia Zhaoyi, the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo, and the other is Kong Zefeng, the supervisor of Taishi Bureau.

However, both of them are no longer alive now. Xia Zhaoyi was buried in Yunhu Snow Sea two years ago, and Kong Jianzheng died of a serious illness a year ago.

Since Kong Jianzheng died of illness, few people come here again, it is desolate and quiet.

Song Du and Huang Mi followed Shen Lie in, and as soon as they entered the hall, Song Du grabbed Huang Mi, and with Huang Mi's support, he went down to sit on the mat in the middle of the hall.

His legs were so weak that he was almost out of breath. After Song Du sat down, he felt dizzy.

Huang Mi got up, raised his hand and bowed to Shen Lie: "Finally, I can speak generously, this young man, please ask for your name."

"Shen Lie," Shen Lie said, "The Zuilu Guo family is my grandfather's family."

"It turned out to be Young Xia Shen!" Huang Mi was overjoyed, "Thank you, Young Xia Shen!"

"No thanks, I'm here for Song Qingtang, I should."

Hearing Shen Lie mentioning his son, Song Du felt a tight pain in his chest on the ground.

"This little bastard," Song Du said, "if I survive, I'll kill him!"

Huang Mi frowned, unable to calm down from the sidelines.

After causing such a big incident, I don't know if it will hurt my family.

Really, how could such a thing happen, he was an upright third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he became a thorn in the eyes of the emperor in an instant, and his life was at stake.

But in all fairness, his hands, no, he had to add his feet, all agreed with Song Qingtang's approach.

Huang Mi shook his head again and again, it was too annoying, really annoying.

"By the way," Song Du raised his head and said, "Shen Shaoxia, you said earlier that you would leave the palace, and you will leave me and Huang Shilang in the palace for the time being?"

"Now the palace is in chaos and the current situation is turbulent. It will be inconvenient to take you out of the palace. Compared with this place, it is the safest," Shen Lie said, looking at the high wall on the left. A mechanism can trigger a secret passage, you go in and hide for now, and I will come back to pick you up as soon as possible."

Song Du turned his head and glanced at the hidden space he mentioned, and said after looking away: "Shen Shaoxia, if you go out of the palace, will you go to Erlang? If you go to him, please Shen Shaoxia help me with a message, so that he can live well. Nothing can happen."

"Okay," Shen Lie replied, "I will send someone to talk to him."

"Thank you, Shaoxia Shen." Song Du thanked with a blush in his eyes.

There were too many things to do today, Shen Lie couldn't stay longer, he and a few guards beside him ordered to stay and protect Song Du and Huang Mi, and then left with the two guards.

Huang Mi helped Song Du up: "My lord, let's go in first."

Song Du nodded: "Yes."

They went together to the organ that Shen Lie mentioned, and sure enough, there was a mystery, a secret door appeared on the ground three feet to their right.

"This is really weird," Song Du looked at the secret door and said in a daze, "Huang Shilang, what do we two do?"

Huang Mi looked at the hidden door on the ground and understood what Song Du meant.

"The two of us are from the Ministry of Industry." Huang Mi said.

"The large and small buildings in this palace have to be renovated and renovated every year, so no one knows how big the palace is and how many palaces there are than the two of us," Song Du said.

"But," Huang Mi raised his eyebrows, "we don't know about such a dark room."

"Yes," Song Du nodded, "but Shen Lie knows."

"Strange." Huang Mi was puzzled.

"Strange." Song Du said at the same time.

After a pause, Song Du looked at the guards left behind by Shen Lie, and asked curiously, "Has Young Xia Shen been here before?"

A personal guard nodded generously: "The young master came to the palace a few days ago."

"A few days ago?" Huang Mi frowned, his expression became suspicious, "What did he come to the palace for?"

"Protect Miss Ali." The guard replied, a little displeased with the look on Huang Shilang's face.

Huang Mi paused for a moment, then said, "Ali? That little girl?"
