"I am willing."
Liu Lai said reluctantly.
What can I do if I don’t want to?
I can't do it in the Palace of Eternal Life.
We can only agree first and then take it step by step.
If there is a chance, I will go back to the Palace of Eternal Life.
If he didn't have the chance, he would not have ended up miserable after providing so many things and doing so many things for the Palace of Eternal Life.
"Sir, please come with me."
Now that he decided to follow the Changsheng Palace to do things for the time being, Liu Lai's attitude towards Zhao Ping also became respectful.
Zhao Ping nodded and led the people to follow his footsteps.
Go out and turn left.
He jumped over Liu's Mansion and stopped in front of a small door nearby.
Just as Liu Lai was about to fumble through the doorway, he was stopped by Zhao Ping.
"Gao Meng, break the door lock."
Zhao Ping ordered.
"There is no mechanism."
Liu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "This is just an entrance, how can I arrange the traps?"
"Besides, this small courtyard is right next to my house. I have guards and domestic servants who can keep an eye on it at any time, and there is no need for any agencies."
Having said that, Zhao Ping still adheres to a cautious attitude.
Go to the doorway to get something. Who knows what you have in that doorway?
If there is a mechanism, if you make a slight movement, a bunch of arrows will be shot out, making it impossible to dodge.
The door was forced open, but no mechanism was touched.
But Zhao Ping still did not enter first, but asked Liu Lai to lead the way.
This yard is smaller and there are still a lot of weeds in the yard.
There were no traces of anyone walking in the middle. It seemed like no one had been here for a long time.
Hidden enough.
No wonder Liu Dingbei couldn't find any evidence.
In this case, if he could be found, Liu Dingbei would not be called a reckless man.
Even for myself, if I didn't have those TV series from my previous life to rely on, I probably wouldn't be able to get so much useful information.
There were not many rooms inside. After everyone entered, Liu Lai went to the study.
There is a flower pot on the desk.
Liu Lai twisted it to the left three times, pushed it forward again, and then heard a click.
Zhao Ping looked around and found nothing unusual.
But the companion's exclamation came from outside, "Sir, the floor here is cracked."
Zhao Ping rushed out in a hurry.
Sure enough, I saw a piece of floor cracked in the middle of the living room, revealing a one-meter-square wellhead.
Below the wellhead is a ladder.
It was so dark inside that you couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
"Sir, put everything down there."
Liu Lai also came out and explained.
"You lead the way."
Zhao Ping said.
Liu Lai had no objection, went to find a torch nearby, lit it, and walked out first.
Zhao Ping asked Gao Meng to lead a group of people to guard outside, and he and Li Hu followed with another group of people.
There are dozens of steps.
After going down, there is a passage.
The passage is also very narrow and can only accommodate one person walking alone.
Li Hu was worried about the danger and walked ahead, protecting Zhao Ping behind him.
After walking about ten feet further, I saw a secret room.
The secret room is not big, covering more than ten square meters.
There are many shelves inside, and there are bamboo slips, books, letters and other things stacked on the shelves.
It's almost full.
There is a desk next to it, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it.
Everything was placed in an orderly manner, and it was also very clean and tidy, as if someone had cleaned it from time to time.
This made Zhao Ping puzzled.
Not to mention this kind of secret room hidden underground, even in the previous life, the technology was so advanced and the room was so tightly sealed, it still couldn't stop the dust.
What's more, this is ancient times.
The roads are not hardened.
There are no sanitation workers to spray water and clean up.
Whether it's people walking or horses running, it can all stir up a "wolf smoke".
It’s impossible not to get dusty.
It's obvious that someone has been here before, and they come often and clean it frequently.
But there was no sign of anyone passing by in the yard outside.
Where do people come in from?
Zhao Ping used the torch to look around, but did not find any hidden secret doors or the like.
He could only make insinuating remarks: "Mr. Liu, apart from you, has anyone else been here before?"
"No."
Liu Lai shook his head, "I am the only one who knows here."
"Even these things were built by me alone. It is impossible for outsiders to come in."
"So, besides entering through the main entrance, is there any other entrance here?"
Zhao Ping asked again.
"how you said that?"
Liu Lai asked rhetorically.
My heart was in my throat.
The person seemed to be frightened and took a few steps back involuntarily.
He moved closer to the bookshelf.
"Huzi, kill him."
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ping immediately gave the order.
Liu Lai threw away the torch and reached for the bookshelf to see what he wanted to do.
But not yet.
Hearing a whooshing sound, Li Hu had already rushed in front of him.
The knife went down and hit Liu Lai on the neck.
thump!
Liu Lai fell to the ground and passed out.
"Mr. Protector."
The brothers who were trapped in the camp hurriedly gathered in front of Zhao Ping and blocked him behind them.
Rub rub rub rub!
Everyone also took out an axe.
Watching the surroundings warily.
It's a pity that the secret room is very dark. Without the torch, even if you open your eyes blindly, you can't see anything.
"Don't move rashly."
Zhao Ping reminded, and then asked Li Hu, "Huzi, how is Liu Lai?"
"I knocked him unconscious."
Li Hu replied.
call!
Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no additional sound, which meant that Liu Lai did not touch the mechanism.
Zhao Ping didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly took out the fire seal and lit it.
Find the torch and light it again.
There was light again in the secret room.
Only then did Zhao Ping see that Liu Lai fell in Li Hu's footsteps.
"Tie him up first."
Zhao Ping ordered.
Then he took a torch and illuminated the row of bookshelves where Liu Lai was going.
In the corner of the bookshelf, Zhao Ping found a bulge.
organ.
There really is an agency.
Li Hu also saw it and said fiercely: "Sir, this guy is dishonest and wants to trap us. How about I kill him?"
"Don't worry."
Zhao Ping said: "Wake him up and I will ask some more questions."
"Once confirmed, it's not too late to kill him."
Bang bang bang!
Hearing this, Li Hu slapped Liu Lai with his bow from left to right, turning Liu Lai into a pig's head in an instant.
Not to mention, Liu Lai really woke up after this beating.
"Ah! It hurts!"
Liu Lai regained consciousness and screamed in agony.
"Stop yelling."
Zhao Ping frowned and said, "Liu Lai, if you continue to play tricks on me, I will kill you now."
"Sir, what's wrong with you and me?"
Liu Lai was puzzled and said: "Good boy, why are you tying me up?"
"Is this mechanism another entrance?"
Zhao Ping ignored him, but pointed to the bulge on the bookshelf and asked.
"I……"
Liu Lai didn't answer.
"Aren't you going to say yes?"
Zhao Ping said coldly: "Huzi, give him some color."
Li Hu didn't talk nonsense. He turned his hands into claws and grabbed Liu Lai's shoulders.
Click.
Liu Lai's shoulder was dislocated.
It hurt so much that he almost shed tears.
Li Hu slapped him on the shoulder, and heard another click, and Liu Lai's dislocated arm was reattached.
Pain is reduced.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Hu grabbed him on the shoulder again.
There was a clicking sound again.
Liu Lai's arm was dislocated again.
Click, click!
After doing this again and again, Liu Lai finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out.
But Li Hu didn't do as he wished.
After kicking him on the waist, Liu Lai chuckled.
But when he laughed, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Li Hu did not speak and continued to repeat the previous actions.
Every time Liu Lai was unconscious, Li Hu would "wake" him up again and continue to repeat those actions.
"I said, stop fighting, I will say anything."
After more than ten times, Liu Lai finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "That mechanism is indeed another entrance."
"The dry well that leads to my backyard."
"Is there a trap in there?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"No."
Liu Lai shook his head, "These are already concealed enough, no need for traps."
"Since there is no trap, why do you avoid us and open the mechanism alone?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"I want to escape."
Liu Lai said: "As long as I rush out from here, I can return home."
"You must not have thought of this, and I could take the opportunity to escape."
"Can you escape?"
Zhao Ping sneered: "Since the Palace of Eternal Life has found you, you will never be able to escape."
"I don't want to work with Changsheng Palace anymore, it's too scary."
Liu Lai said aggrievedly.
"When I escape, I will take the gold and silver at home with me and escape to a place where no one knows me. I will live incognito and live quietly."
"Mr. Zhao, please, let me go."
"I have told you what should be said and what should not be said, and the family fortune I have accumulated for so many years has also been handed over to you."
"Just let me live."
"I really don't want to get involved in these things anymore. I just want to spend my remaining years in peace."
