"Hehehe, you brat!" Gong Shuqiu sneered as he walked out of the corner, "When we were in Loulan, I gave you a hard time with a young boy!"
"It's you!" Tianming was even more surprised when he saw Gong Shuqiu, his old enemy. At the same time, his defenses increased several times, and he stood in front of Qianlong. "You bad old man, why are you in the Mo family's forbidden area!?"
"Humph!" Gongshuqiu was so angry when he saw Tianming that he snorted coldly without replying.
Qiantaki also looked at Gongshuqiu who suddenly appeared with some surprise at this time, and asked doubtfully, "Gongshuqiu? Why are you here?"
Facing Qianlong, Gongshuqiu didn't dare to show his attitude of ignoring Tianming. A bright smile immediately appeared on the old face, and he explained flatteringly but not complacently:
"Your Highness Chitaki, I came in through a secret passage in the forbidden area."
"Now that almost all of the city has been lost, I have no time to come over and see this so-called Mohist forbidden area."
The old guy asked for credit by the way, "Your Highness, when you were in danger in the Dragon Throat Chamber, it was because of me, the old man."
"You!?" Tianming raised his arms in front of his chest, squinting at Gong Shuqiu, "How can you, an old guy, be so kind?"
"Hmph!" Gongshuqiu pointed at Tianming. He wanted to give this young boy a good blow, but after glancing at Chitaki, he still took her emotions into consideration, suppressed his anger, and continued to ignore him and praise Chitaki:
"His Highness is here because he passed the chivalry test safely. He is worthy of being the daughter of the National Preceptor!"
Chitaki doesn't like Gongshu Chou very much, but he can't be said to be disgusting, and besides, his attitude is so flattering...
Not wanting to hit the smiling person, she didn't show any emotion and asked as usual, "Then do you know where this is?"
"Here... let me take a look." Gong Shuqiu took out the machine map and after searching it for a while, he suddenly said, "Ah, it turns out this is here..."
After collecting the drawings, he explained to Qian Taki, "This is a secret room for death in the forbidden area. It is occasionally used by Mohist giants as a quiet place for retreat and practice."
However, Chitaki didn't pay much attention to his answer at this time, but pointed at the secret map, "Which one is it?"
"Oh, this is the essence of the mechanism layout drawing of the mechanism city. Almost all the mechanisms in the city are described in detail."
Chitaki was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this, but it was not because of the picture.
"This belongs to Master Ben...Did you attack him?"
Unsure of Qiantaki's attitude, Gongshuqiu decisively chose to distance himself from himself and pushed the dirty water to Niliuxha:
"What happened to the old guy has nothing to do with him. It was the people who went against the quicksand who did it."
"As for this picture, I asked for it later after I found out about it."
Chitaki glanced at him suspiciously, a little doubtful, but didn't say anything.
Whether it was related to him or not, she had no right to comment.
The Mohist family is now the enemy of the empire after all.
It was her business to be close to some members of the Mo family, but she couldn't just rely on her status to act recklessly.
Tian Ming was even more reluctant to believe Gong Shou's words, but although he was naive, he was not stupid.
In any case, this old guy's bronze mechanism is really difficult to deal with. He and Chitaki are the only two people here now. They don't have enough fighting power, so there is no need to tangle with each other too much. It's not too late to wait until they escape.
"Hey, since you have those blueprints and so on, the higher-ups should have told you how to get out of here, right?"
Gongshuqiu didn't want to talk to Tianming, but seeing that Qianlong was also waiting for him to answer this question, he could only respond first.
"If we want to go out, there is only one way for us!"
As he spoke, Gong Shuqiu half-knelt on the ground. Some mechanism was touched, and a square gap suddenly opened on the floor.
Below the gap, there is clear water that almost fills it.
"That's right here." Gong Shuqiu pointed at the water.
Tianming glanced at the gently undulating water and said doubtfully, "
Is there a river below? "
Gongshu Qiu walked forward slowly and responded with a disdainful and casual attitude, "It's not a river, it's a central pool."
"If you swim a short distance from here, you can reach the suspension bridge waterfall of the machine city. It is connected to the central pool and is the power hub of the machine city."
"Oh... that waterfall!" Tianming suddenly recalled the place Gong Shuqiu mentioned - the place where Robber Zhi played with him when he first arrived.
As an escape route, it doesn't seem like a good choice.
But... I don’t have a choice.
Some walks are pretty good, but look at where there is no road now!
"Okay..." Tianming nodded, suddenly thinking of something. Turning to look at Chitaki, "Chitaki, are you okay with swimming?"
Just as Qiantaki was about to answer, Gongshuqiu interjected, "What are you thinking, kid? How can you let His Highness Qiantaki go swimming!"
"How can we get out if we don't swim!" These words made Tian Ming confused.
I'm not allowed to go swimming anymore...I can't even lick it like you, an old guy!
But the problem is that now we can only swim out, there is no other way out!
What, can you still take my place?
Gong Shuqiu glanced at Tianming with a retarded look and then explained, "I said, this entire body of water is the power hub of the machine city. There are a large number of giant transmission gears densely covered below. Not to mention the rapidity of the water, the flow is also It’s extremely treacherous, and many places are simply blocked by gears, so you can only find some gaps that may allow people to pass through, and the whole process is extremely dangerous.”
"His Majesty Sentaki has a rich body, how can he risk his life!"
"Ah?" Tian Ming felt dizzy at Kang's statement and nodded subconsciously, "That's really not possible..."
"That's not right, you have to avoid danger, otherwise you won't be able to get out!"
"Humph!" Gongshuqiu snorted and waved his hand in a pretentious manner, "Listen to what I have to say first."
"This waterway is certainly dangerous, but as I am the leader of the public, there is nothing I can do to allow people to pass safely."
"It just... requires a prerequisite."
"What conditions?" It was about whether he could escape safely. Tian Ming didn't bother to argue with him and asked as he continued.
"The current water level is too high. I need someone to go under the water of the Suspension Bridge Falls to open the Xuanwu valve for water change. The water level will drop during the water change before the operation can be carried out."
There was someone he was talking about, but Gong Shuqiu stared straight at Tianming, almost pointing at his head and saying it was you.
Tian Ming is also very honest and very subjective, taking on this responsibility without even thinking about it, "I'll go now!"
"Oh, don't worry, Tianming." Qiantaki quickly stopped him and looked at Gongshuqiu suspiciously, "Are you sure someone really needs to open the water change valve?"
Gongshu Qiuchen bowed in fear and said, "How dare I lie to Your Highness?"
"Then why don't you go by yourself?" Chitaki subconsciously didn't want to take the risk tomorrow and planned to transfer the risk.
She won't abuse the privileges of her status, but she won't use them rigidly either.
Gongshu Chou smiled bitterly and explained, "This... old man can't go!"
"Your Highness, look at the bronze structure of half of my body, how can I go into the water?"
