Rebirth of Fengmou

Chapter 210.Stone chamber in the tower

Apart from Wei Ze, Xiao Meiren and Xia Xiang, there was still a seat at the table.

Those concubines knew that they were disgusted by Wei Ze, but no one dared to sit there, and now there was room for Du Lanyan. Du Lanyan didn't want to sit there, but Wei Ze couldn't help but give him face. The emperor's face is tantamount to courting death.

Therefore, she slowly moved towards Wei Ze with small steps.

Wei Ze saw her coming with a smile on his face. Although Du Lanyan was extremely reluctant, she didn't show the slightest bit of reluctance on her face. She was full of smiles, and the expression on her face seemed to be very honored.

"Meow..." A cat meow came suddenly, Du Lanyan stopped, stood behind Wei Ze, looked towards the place where the cat meowed, and at some point, a white cat ran to the door, The door circled anxiously, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.

It has a bulky body, and it keeps walking at the door. Occasionally, it is cute and tight when it falls, which makes the concubines in the room can't help laughing out loud.

The eunuch guarding the gate saw a cat running from nowhere, afraid of disturbing Sheng Jia and punishing himself, he came forward to catch the white cat away. Although the cat was fat, it was not stupid. When he came to catch it, he dodged it extremely nimbly, but the two eunuchs couldn't catch it.

Du Lanyan burst out laughing with a "puchi" and said, "What a cute cat!"

Du Lanyan was going to sit next to Wei Ze, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the cat. Wei Ze was very upset. The eunuchs wanted to catch and throw it away, but he didn't stop him. He heard Du Lanyan say this now , he just called to stop the two eunuchs who were catching the cat, and caught the cat and hugged it.

No matter how cunning the cat was, it was still no match for man. After running away for a while, it was caught. Seeing that the emperor was interested in the cat, one of the eunuchs carefully carried the cat over.

Wei Ze reached out to take it, let the eunuch go down, and then patted the cat's head pretending to be fond of it. Du Lanyan's eyes were bright, as if attracted by the cat, she slowly lowered her head and looked at the cat in Wei Ze's arms. She stretched out her hand and stroked its head lightly. Seeing it flinch subconsciously, Du Lanyan was curious, smiled and stretched out her hand to stroke it again.

Du Lanyan lowered her head, she was very close to Wei Ze, she focused on teasing the cat, although Wei Ze hugged the cat, but looked straight at her.

Her skin is very white, almost transparent, and the blue blood vessels inside can be seen when you get close. There is a layer of fine hair on the skin. Her belly is full, her nose is straight, and her eyes are big. At this time, she is looking at him intently. The cat in her arms was shimmering with sparkles, making it impossible to move her eyes away. She was smiling, with bright red lips and bright teeth. The lips were slightly thicker, not pointy but red, and the watery water gave people a feeling of brilliance.

Wei Ze couldn't help swallowing his saliva, he didn't know how ecstasy it was to kiss such perfect lips.

He is the emperor, and he has always done whatever he wants. He wanted to taste the ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't care about the occasion, the location, or the object. He leaned forward and saw his lips were about to fall on Du Lanyan's mouth. But the cat became restless, it yelled a few times, then jumped up and broke away from Wei Ze's embrace, jumped to the ground, and ran out of the window.

"Hey, cat, don't run away!" Du Lanyan whispered, and then ran out with her legs apart, as if she was afraid that the cat would get lost, anxious and terrified.

In this way, Wei Ze was in vain, the ecstasy he was looking forward to did not get what he wanted, so he was naturally irritable and depressed, and when he swept away the "remnant flowers and willows" sitting in the room, he felt even more upset, so he yelled: "What are you doing in a daze, the cat won't catch it if it runs away!"

Xia Xiang knew Du Lanyan's intentions, and now she must have taken the opportunity to run to the tower. She had agreed that there would be too many people, so she had been waiting for Wei Ze's words for a long time. First stood up and said: "Hurry up and find the cat, the emperor likes it!"

After speaking, he ran out first.

She said that the emperor liked it, and she was deliberately implying to all the nobles that whoever can help the emperor find the cat will be able to get the emperor to look at it twice, and looking at it twice means that there is a chance to regain the favor.

They thought of Wei Ze's loving caress just now, and watched Concubine Xiang who was being favored run out to find the cat regardless of her delicate body, so they believed in Xia Xiang's words that the cat was indeed the emperor's favorite.

So the group of people stood up one after another except Concubine Xiao Gui who was pregnant and ran outside.

They were inexperienced in finding cats, and they didn't want to waste their energy wandering around, so they followed Xia Xiang when they went out.

Xia Xiang had a purpose. Du Lanyan told her about the tower, and she also inquired about it secretly. Naturally, she knew the location of the tower. Seeing everyone following her, she ran to the back garden without hesitation. , Even in the middle of the journey, fearing that they would not be able to keep up, they slowed down and waited.

The cat was just a cover. When Du Lanyan went out, she didn't even look at where the cat was, and ran straight to the tower. She ran there openly, thinking that she might not only not be able to get in, but would also go to the tower alone. To startle the snake, let them transfer Yaya in time.

So when she was about to reach the destination, she also slowed down her pace. When she saw the nobles catching up, she looked like she was afraid that others would find the cat first, and rushed forward.

When the nobles saw it, they rushed forward with all their strength no matter how tired they were, so the time to reach the tower was only a few seconds away.

Du Lanyan wanted to rush in without stopping, but the guards guarding the gate had sharp eyesight and quick hands. As soon as she rushed to the door, they stopped Du Lanyan with a halberd.

"Who is coming, this is a forbidden area, how can you allow your intrusion, why don't you leave quickly!" The guard yelled, and stopped her with a long halberd, refusing to let her go.

Originally, the superiors had ordered that trespassers be executed immediately, but they saw Du Lanyan as a delicate little beauty, so they felt pity for her and drank her away.

"The cat is inside!" Seeing Du Lanyan standing there, being stopped by the guards with long halberds, Xia Xiang immediately broke into a cold sweat, ran forward a few steps, stood beside Du Lanyan, and secretly looked at Du Lanyan from top to bottom Once again, seeing that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to shout at the two guards: "You two blind people are blocking the way of this palace, so get out of here quickly!" !"

The guards didn't know Du Lanyan, but they knew Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang was too favored recently, and they didn't dare to offend her, but the emperor had also explained here that without his order, anyone who trespassed would die.

If they dared to let people in, it would be a dead end.

However, holy intentions are always unpredictable, if they offend Concubine Xiang today because of their devotion to duty, and Concubine Xiang went to the emperor to blow pillows, wouldn't they be miserable?
For a moment, the two guards guarding the gate looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What are you talking about with these dog slaves? We are the masters. If we want to go in, we need to ask for their advice?" An impatient nobleman got angry. She had not been favored for many years, and she was already a little depressed. It was hard to see her today. After becoming the emperor, not only did he fail to please him, but he was also satirized a few times. The anger accumulated a long time ago exploded when he saw these two bullying slaves.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and said to the people behind her: "The emperor doesn't want to see us, it's fine if we don't favor us, it's fine for those servants to joke behind our backs, why are these guards like this, no matter how bad we are, Anyway, he is a noble person, I want to go in today, let these two slaves have a look, we are not easy to bully!"

As the nobleman spoke, he stepped forward and pushed away the two halberds blocking her. The halberds of the two guards were pushed away. Seeing that she was about to rush in, he immediately turned the halberds over. , that nobleman is also pungent, she walked forward quickly, her brows stood on end, and she shouted: "Bengong lends you two courage, you don't dare to hurt me in the slightest!"

The two guards stopped immediately, not because they were frightened by her appearance, but because they really didn't dare to hurt her. A nobleman's life is precious, but a servant's life is cheap. Although the emperor told the trespassers that they can kill them first, but, If that was the case, they would be responsible for any crimes, and they would not dare to risk their lives.

But he didn't dare to let them in just like that. After weighing it, he pretended to stop them.

That savage nobleman grabbed the halberd in front of him, waved his hand, pushed the two guards away, and went in first, and the rest of the noblemen rushed in when they saw it, for fear that the person who went in first would find the cat .

Du Lanyan and Xia Xiang were the last to go in, and after everyone had gone in, the two guards discussed and sent one to report the matter to Wei Ze.

The light inside the tower is not good, the orange lights are lit, and once you enter, it will be dim, which makes people feel drowsy.

As soon as they entered the pagoda, the nobles scattered in all directions, only Du Lanyan and Xia Xiang walked together. After entering the pagoda gate, there was a large open space. On the open space was a picture of the Eight Diagrams of the Universe, and the green smoke was lingering above the open space. The sun can't penetrate, and the wind can't flow smoothly, so the green smoke seems to be hovering in the air, and won't go away for a long time.

Du Lanyan and Xia Xiang glanced at each other, and felt that the inside was extremely weird. Xia Xiang was a person with martial arts, so she spontaneously walked in front of Du Lanyan, leading her inside as a protector.

The two walked to the center of the Eight Diagrams, and in front of them was a wall with a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. There was a door on each side of the picture, and the nobles just scattered and ran to both sides. Xia Xiang blocked Du Lanyan behind her. , she was analyzing which door would be safer, but Du Lanyan was dissatisfied, she walked up to her, pointed to a door on the left and said, "Just go this way, I will explore the way ahead."

Seeing that she was really walking forward, Xia Xiang felt anxious, so she stepped forward two or three steps and walked side by side with her. When she reached the door, the door was relatively narrow and only one person could pass through. Xia Xiang walked to the front at once.

She is a person who knows martial arts, even if there is danger, she can resist it for a while, and buy Du Lanyan time to escape. If Du Lanyan is in the front, something goes wrong, she can't bear the responsibility!

Seeing her like this, Du Lanyan felt a little sorry. She came here to help her find a maid, so how could she let her stand in front of danger?So, she stepped forward and pulled La Xiaxiang's clothes and said, "Why don't you wait outside the tower, and I'll come out to find you after I've checked quickly?"

"I found out why you are getting more and more verbose. I am a person with martial arts, and I am always better than you when I encounter danger!" Xia Xiang didn't appreciate it, muttered something, and walked in front without looking back.

Seeing this, Du Lanyan had no choice but to stop talking and follow behind her.

Entering through the small door is a long corridor, which is a bit narrow and can only be used by one person. Du Lanyan followed Xia Xiang, looking around cautiously, listening to the surrounding movements with alert ears.

Because this kind of tunnel actually has the aura of "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men don't open it", Du Lanyan was even afraid of guarding a person at the front exit to kill trespassers like them, so she took two steps forward, He grabbed Xia Xiang's sleeve.

"Don't be afraid. I'm a master of martial arts. I've observed it a long time ago. There is no one in this corridor, and there is no one at the end." Xia Xiang felt her nervousness, and reached out to pat her, clutching her clothes tightly. Sleeve hand comforting.

"En." Du Lanyan responded, let go of her hand, adjusted her mood and followed Xia Xiang closely.

In fact, she didn't feel relieved because of Xia Xiang's words, it was just because when two people were together, they could easily be infected by each other's emotions, and she didn't want to infect her with her fearful emotions. It's time to advance and retreat.

The corridor is not too long, and it only took the two of them four or five minutes to reach the end. At the end is a room with simple furnishings, bookshelves, desks, beds, these three big items, plus Some small things turned into a simple study and bedroom as a living room.

The room was very clean and neatly tidied up. Xia Xiang walked in and looked around, rubbing her chin with her hand, and analyzed: "Based on my experience, such rooms are generally equipped with organs."

As she said that, she walked around the room, trying to find a different place and turn on the mechanism.

I just turned around, but I didn't find anything wrong. The only thing that made people feel weird was that there was a place where things could be placed, but it was not placed, but it was empty, leaving a white space one person wide. wall out.

Xia Xiang stared at it for a long time, but she didn't find anything wrong, she just wanted to turn around and look in the corridor, but as soon as she moved, Du Lanyan stepped forward, groped on the wall for a while, and then began to beat inch by inch, Finally, she knocked on a hollow place near the ground. She was overjoyed, and then she stretched out her hand to catch the invisible but palpable gap on the wall, and took off the small piece that blocked the organ. A small hole appeared in the body with a protruding thing inside.

"How did you know there would be a mechanism here? You are too smart!" Seeing that Du Lanyan had found the mechanism, Xia Xiang couldn't help admiring. Hearing what she said, Du Lanyan looked at her in surprise. But he reached out and unscrewed the mechanism.

There was only a "bang" sound, and the bookshelf on the side moved away, and a big hole appeared on the wall. I couldn't see what was inside, but I felt that the dark wind was blowing out of it, very penetrating.

Xia Xiang stepped forward and took a look inside, looking inside with the light outside the black hole, inside was a staircase going down, winding to a far place, with no end in sight, or not because she couldn't see it, but It is because the end is black, which deceives people's vision, thinking that it is far away, and there is no end to it.

Du Lanyan looked at Xia Xiang standing there looking in, with a face of novelty and excitement, she felt strange.

Xia Xiang is Wei Jiali's right-hand man, so she is naturally familiar with the various organs of Xiangyu Tower. She accidentally touched one of these organs on the wall when she was in Xiangyu Tower, so Xia Xiang found it just now. When she didn't close the door, she thought about knocking on it, with the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't want to open it.

She knew it, and Xia Xiang should know it even more. Just looking at her expression, it was the first time she saw such a mechanism, which made Du Lanyan very puzzled.

"Let's go, I seem to smell blood." Xia Xiang said suddenly, and then stepped forward.

Du Lanyan took a few steps forward and grabbed her, saying: "Don't go down, I'll be fine by myself."

I don't know what Longtan Tiger's Den is in front of me, and I don't know what dangerous traps are inside. Xia Xiang is here to help her create an opportunity to enter this tower. This has already helped her a lot, how can she let her take risks at this moment?
So she asked herself to go down alone and let Xia Xiang stay here.

"No, who knows what's going on inside? It's pitch black and smells like blood. How can I let you go alone?" Xia Xiang refused her request without even thinking about it. Just got off the ladder.

Seeing her impatience, Du Lanyan wanted to call out but it was too late, so she followed closely.

As soon as she entered, she did smell blood, but it was faint. The further she walked in, the stronger the smell of blood became, and her mood became heavier.

Because they were groping in the dark, both of them felt that the time had passed very long. It felt like an hour had passed, but in fact it was not even a quarter of an hour. Turning inside out, almost vomited, Du Lanyan covered her nose with her hand, and said to Xia Xiang: "We have to hurry up, we will all be miserable when the emperor comes!"

After saying this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. There were so many people who came in just now, but there were only two doors, and they were all separated. Why didn't they see anyone when they arrived at that room?

Could it be that they discovered this mechanism by accident, came down, and suffered an accident, that's why there was such a strong smell of blood.

Du Lanyan felt scared when she thought about it, but Yaya's safety was better than these fears. She strengthened herself, looked around, and saw that it was still dark, so she took out a fire pocket, opened it, and blew on it, and the flames immediately ignited , to drive away the darkness and bring light to the interior.

This is a stone room, except for the stairs on one side, the other three sides are blocked walls. Xia Xiang and Du Lanyan looked at each other, smelling the smell of blood, but found that there were bright red blood at the base of the three walls. Some have dried up, while others are still wet, as if they just dripped out.
