Chapter 329 Secret Passage
The emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years and has always advocated frugality, so the princes and ministers usually give some not very valuable but meaningful birthday gifts.

The envoys from various countries also sent special products of their own countries, such as carpets from Persia and war horses from Western Liao...

After the complicated and boring kowtow ceremony, the emperor said loudly: "The banquet has begun. Envoys from various countries and dear friends, please have a meal."

As the palace maids filed in, they served dishes to the ministers, wives, and envoys from various countries in an orderly manner.

The melodious music sounded in the hall, and the beautiful dancer danced gracefully in the center of the hall with her sleeves lowered and dancing gracefully. It was a visual feast for the guests present, and Shen Jia was fascinated by it without realizing it.

After a song and dance, the whole hall cheered.

Concubine Shu, who had just been released from confinement, put away her sharp claws and pretended to be a quail, sitting quietly, not daring to make any mistakes.

The Tatar prince and the Japanese prince should reach some kind of consensus with King Jin, and it is also extremely low-key.

The prince of Xiliao, who was initially ready to make a move, saw that no one was looking for trouble and thought of Xiao Yichen's tough attitude, so he could only stop his activities.

And those from other countries who come purely to celebrate their birthdays are even less annoying.

Therefore, today's longevity banquet went surprisingly smoothly.

The next day, the emperor sent gifts of tea, porcelain, embroidery and other items from the Great Zhou Dynasty to the envoys of various countries in return. In addition, he also sent rice, wheat, soybeans, red beans and other grains to each country.

The Tatars and Japanese wanted high-yielding grains, but the emperor decisively rejected them.

After receiving the return gifts, the envoys from various countries left the capital one after another.

The Tatar and Japanese envoys who were the last to leave, their carriages were much heavier than those of other countries. This was because King Jin secretly gave them a lot of sweet potatoes, corn and other high-yielding grains. Shen Jia watched them go away. From the back, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Prince Jin, you idiot!"

"Ha! What if they take away the things I don't want to give?" Xiao Yichen said coldly.

"Did you send someone to do something?" Shen Jia asked with a raised eyebrow.

Xiao Yichen raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "Of course, they can't make seeds even if they take it back."

Shen Jia gave him a thumbs up: "Well done! We have already given so many good things as gifts in return, and that idiot King Jin actually gave them high-yield grain seeds. Isn't he afraid that their country will become rich and powerful and attack us?"

"We can't think about King Jin with normal people's thoughts. He and Jiang Shoufu are obsessed with the imperial power, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do such things as colluding with the Tatars and Japanese countries. In short, we have to find evidence as soon as possible to get rid of them. ”

"Let's go take a trip to the secret passage tomorrow night."

"it is good."

The next night, the sound rose and fell, the night was deep and completely silent, except for the swaying lanterns hanging in front of the shops on each street.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, wearing night clothes and masks, performed Qing Kung Fu and walked through the streets and alleys to a certain house.

Both of them are extremely skilled, floating into the high wall like fallen leaves.

There was silence in the house. The two of them went directly to the Buddhist temple in the backyard based on the clues that the secret guards had investigated in advance.

After they ducked into the gate of the Buddhist hall, they felt as if they were in clouds and mist for five miles, and they could not see the road to the left or right clearly.

No wonder there are no guards or secret sentries in this house. It turns out that they rely on the blessing of the formation.

"A Chen, a formation has been set up here. Follow me and I will take you out." Shen Jia whispered.

"Okay!" Xiao Yichen's face was solemn. Prince Jin and Jiang Shoufu were more difficult to deal with than expected.

Shen Jia slowly closed his eyes, recalling the secrets of breaking the formation taught by his master in his mind. Based on the position in front of him, he led Xiao Yichen to walk step by step in the maze of formations with strange steps.

About two-quarters of an hour later, the two walked out of the maze. What comes into view is a large Buddhist hall.

A dim lamp was lit in the Buddhist hall. There was a bronze statue of Amitayus Buddha in the middle in front of the niche, a porcelain statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the east and west, and eighteen Arhat statues. In front of it was a large red-lacquered rough wood sutra table. Offer five pieces of gilt copper as offerings...

There are also a large number of Buddhist niches, offerings, scriptures, ritual objects, offerings, pagodas, etc. enshrined in the temple.

There was almost finished incense in the incense burner. Someone must have put it in the incense burner before going to bed.

The two touched every item but did not touch the switch.

Shen Jia frowned and pondered for a moment, then tapped his toes and flew up to the beam to look down, and found that the furnishings in the Buddhist hall were actually a formation.

"Jiajia, have you found any problems?" Xiao Yichen flew forward and asked.

Shen Jia pointed to the furnishings below and said: "This is a formation. The purpose should be to prevent outsiders from finding the entrance to the secret passage. But this will not trouble me."

Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness: "Jiang Shoufu is thoughtful, ruthless and cunning. There must be many dangers in the secret passage. You should be careful."

"Don't worry!" After Shen Jia said that, he flew down.

Shen Jia moved the Eighteen Arhat statues and other objects in the Buddhist hall, and heard a "buzz" sound, and a hole appeared on the ground.

Several arrows flew out of the secret passage.

"Be careful." Xiao Yichen hugged Shen Jia and flew up, barely avoiding the arrow.

Shen Jia walked over and picked up the arrows and examined them carefully. He found that these arrows were all coated with deadly poison. If a person entering the secret passage failed to dodge and was shot by a poisonous arrow, his life would be in danger.

Xiao Yichen picked up something and threw it in, and then another burst of smoke came out of the secret passage.

Shen Jia smelled it carefully and found that it was smoke.

The person who designed this secret passage has reached the pinnacle of mechanical formation skills. If Shen Jia had not followed her master to figure out the formation for several years, and she was smart and agile, it would have taken a lot of effort to break the formation.

It can be seen that the capable people recruited by Jiang Shoufu are definitely extraordinary.

As the smoke dissipated, Xiao Yichen threw two more things down. After seeing that there was no movement, he took the lead and walked into the secret passage, followed closely by Shen Jia.

The two of them carefully observed whether there were any hidden mechanisms in the secret passage as they walked. Based on the previous defense facilities, they guessed that the secret passage would not be too simple.

There is a small night pearl inlaid on the wall of the secret passage every thirty or forty meters, which is really extravagant.

They walked forward carefully and slowly, walking about two hundred meters.

At this time, their ears twitched, and there were slight footsteps in front of them, getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer. The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' Several hidden weapons attacked them.

They drew out the soft swords from their waists and shot down the hidden weapons attacking them.

I saw a man wearing black clothes, a black hat and a mask walking over slowly, saying sullenly: "No matter who you are, this place today is your burial place. There is no way to hell unless you break in." , it’s just that you shouldn’t be here.”

The man in black is very confident in his ability. He firmly believes that in this secret passage he carefully designed, he has absolute confidence that they will never come back.

"Ha! So much nonsense."

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen didn't talk nonsense to him and stabbed him with their swords.

The man in black took strange steps to dodge their attacks. At the same time, his hand quietly touched a wall. Suddenly, a thick black smoke spewed out from all around.
