Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11545

Red Leaf Pass.

The mystery in Luo Xingchen's heart was immediately solved.

Since Yang Xiaojin is here, Hongye Pass is within our grasp.

"Has Yang Yuanhua been caught?"

Luo Xingchen asked.

He didn't need to ask about what happened that night for the time being, but he had to find out the whereabouts of Yang Yuanhua as soon as possible.

"I took control of the palace immediately and sent people to guard the four exits, but no one left..."

"When we realized something was wrong, we rushed into the palace and found that only a few concubines were there, and Yang Yuanhua was gone."

A look of shame appeared on Yang Xiaojin's face.

This is where it's not perfect.

He had planned for so long just to have a perfect ending, but in the end he missed out on the most crucial person.

"Have you found a way for him to escape?" Luo Xingchen asked with a slight frown.

"Found it, it's inside." Yang Xiaojin nodded.

"Lead the way." Luo Xingchen raised his hand.

A group of people hurriedly entered the hall from the main gate.

At this time, the elite soldiers brought by Zhang Tianyi had taken over the defense inside. This was for safety reasons to prevent any accidents.

There have been many similar lessons before.

Those who pretended to surrender were deliberately deceived, and at the critical moment, they were struck head-on and their true colors were revealed.

Now that the internal and external areas are taken over by trusted soldiers, no accidents will happen again.

After the group quickly stepped into the main hall, Yang Xiaojin went straight to the side of the front hall, where a cushion was placed.

"The mechanism is right here. We were indeed negligent."

Yang Xiaojin walked forward and pressed hard on the mat. Suddenly, the floor cracked silently, revealing a passage.

"I can't blame you. This is Yang Yuanhua's place of meditation. Yang Yuanhua would not allow his subjects to get close to the place where the cushion is."

Luo Xingchen naturally would not blame others for this.

Zi Yan approached him.

"I'll go down and take a look first."

After saying this, without waiting for Luo Xingchen's consent, she floated down.

Here, she is the strongest in terms of martial arts, and she is also prepared for all kinds of mechanisms and traps, so it is most appropriate for her to go down and explore the way.

Of course, this is also because Mo Anbai is not here.

For a puppeteer like Mo Anbai, the descendant of the Mohist school, it would be easy for him to deal with such mechanical traps.

"Sir, there may be a trap below. We haven't had time to go down and check it out yet." Yang Xiaojin said hurriedly.

"It's okay, it will be fine soon."

Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.

He knew what these people were thinking.

Yang Xiaojin must have been planning to send his men in to investigate, but he didn't have the chance yet.

After waiting for a while, Zi Yan's figure reappeared in front of everyone.

"There is a mechanism underneath, but it has not been activated." Zi Yan let out a breath.

"Everyone, please follow me." Zi Yan turned around and went downstairs again.

Luo Xingchen nodded and followed behind, and everyone else followed behind.

The stairs leading all the way down are made of granite and covered with a layer of carpet. When you walk on them, you will not slip and there will be basically no noise.

It was also very convenient to get down from above, and the mechanism was also very delicately designed, fitting perfectly. "This mechanism was not made today, it must have been made at least thirty years ago." Zi Yan wore a white silk glove on her palm, and held a purple soft sword in her other hand, and walked slowly down.

"Thirty years? An institution built so long ago must be well maintained."

Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.

"This involves the Yang family's most core secrets, so it is normal for him to carefully maintain it."

Zi Yan walked down the spiral staircase step by step and landed on the ground.

This underground palace appears to be very large, at least ten meters high from the bottom to the top.

However, the space below is so large that you can’t feel it at all when walking on the top.

Yang Xiaojin came to this palace not once or twice, but every two or three days, but he never noticed it.

"The top is made of cold iron and ice gold, which can isolate the inside and outside."

Luo Xingchen raised his questions and Zi Yan explained them.

It's not how cleverly the top is built, but the special materials used there.

The ability to maintain consistency between inside and outside, making it impossible for people to detect the existence of an underground palace, is the characteristic of cold iron and ice gold.

"You must have heard of it. This metal is used in many underground palaces, but it is expensive and most people can't afford it." Zi Yan said.

"There are so many things to do that I am too busy. I did hear An Bai mention it."

Luo Xingchen had no time to systematically study the art of Mohist mechanisms. Mo Anbai had a lot of books, especially books related to materials. There were more than tens of thousands of materials in them, each with its own characteristics. There were even a large number of materials with similar characteristics that were easily confused.

If you don't study Mohism in depth, you will often not be able to tell the difference.

But Zi Yan was obviously an accident.

Zi Yan has an amazing memory and an extraordinary learning ability.

Not only did she make great achievements in martial arts, she also had considerable attainments in various strange things, miscellaneous studies, pharmacology, witchcraft, and mechanical engineering.

"Ice iron and gold are not easy to come by. The Yang family is very interesting. Even the big palaces there don't have underground palaces like this."

Zi Yan led everyone to walk in the underground palace. There were many armors, weapons, etc. placed here. It was obvious that they were old stocks. There were many rooms on both sides, arranged neatly.

"This is a study room. There is a passage at the end of it, which leads directly to the back of a rockery in a residential courtyard..." Zi Yan said as she walked.

"Let's take a look at the passage over there first."

Luo Xingchen walked quickly forward.

A group of people walked forward quickly and passed a detour. There were lights on the walls on both sides, illuminating the surroundings.

There is not one passage at the end, but three in total, leading to different places.

There are different signs hanging on the doors of the three places, with different words on them.

"The rockery, the sewer, the front yard...interesting."

Luo Xingchen touched his chin.

"Could it be a trap?" Yang Xiaojin asked in a low voice.

"No, I have tried it. These three doors are literally leading to three places."

Zi Yan walked forward and opened the door on the far right.

Sure enough, what appeared before my eyes was a courtyard, and it was the front yard.

"This is where the maids live."

This door was opened on the wall of the courtyard, and no one would have expected there to be a door here.

Zi Yan closed the door and then opened the second door.

"sewer."

Not only did everyone see that this was a sewer, they also smelled the stench of fermentation and quickly closed the door.

And the last door leads to the rockery.

After opening the door, what you can see is the side of a rockery. It is dark now and you can't see anything. You don't know where this place is.
