"What's happening here?!"
When Zhao Hao and four others appeared at the gate of Chu Nan Pavilion, what they saw was not the familiar gate of Chu Nan Pavilion, but a ruined wall covered with weeds.
It looked like something terrible had happened here and had been exposed to wind and sun for hundreds of years, leaving behind a scene.
"Sir, are we in the wrong place?"
Erhu asked in a daze, as if he didn't believe what he saw in front of him.
Zhongxian on the side glanced at Chu Nange, then at Erhu, and reminded: "It was you who set up the carriage..."
"I know it was me who set up the carriage, and this road is correct, but I don't remember our Chu Nan Pavilion is like this!"
Erhu scratched his head and said: "It's only been more than two months, why has it changed like this..."
"You only said you were gone for more than two months, but the young master was gone for less than ten days!"
Dahu muttered: "Such a scene should happen within ten days."
"Within ten days..."
Erhu's heart was shocked. He suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh: "Isn't this the time since Chang Wei and the others wrote to us last time?"
"I was wondering why Chang Wei and the others suddenly stopped writing letters. It turns out something happened!"
Dahu said with a sigh.
Zhao Hao squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "If my guess is right, Chang Wei and the others should have dug up something that caused this situation to happen."
"Young Master means..."
"There's something new in the tunnel!"
"this……"
The three Zhongxian looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
No one here knows more about things in the tunnel than Zhao Hao.
Therefore, the three of them all set their sights on Zhao Hao, waiting for his decision.
Zhao Hao was silent for a moment, then jumped off the carriage and walked straight to Chunan Pavilion.
"Sir, wait for us!"
When the three of them saw Zhao Hao leaving immediately, they quickly jumped out of the carriage and followed Zhao Hao.
But Zhao Hao suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "You guys wait here. If I don't come out within an hour, have this Chunan Pavilion demolished immediately!"
"But Young Master, we are worried about you going alone. Otherwise, let us two brothers accompany you and let Zhongxian wait outside!"
Dahu said with some worry.
"Yes, sir, let us accompany you in!" Erhu echoed.
Zhao Hao glanced at Zhongxian, then looked at Dahu and Erhu:
"It's not that I don't believe in your loyalty, it's the light in this tunnel that only I can touch. If something happens in the tunnel, only I can solve it. What happened to Dahu last time is a lesson. Take this as a lesson!”
"this……"
The big tiger and the two tigers looked at each other, hesitant.
"Boom!"
At this moment, there was a sudden roar in the distance. Zhao Hao and the other two looked for the sound and saw a not-so-luxurious carriage speeding toward Chunan Pavilion.
At the same time, there was a large group of black-armored cavalry behind the carriage, and the leader was Han Xin, the acting guard who had just taken up his duties.
"Sir, that carriage seems to be the old prime minister's carriage!"
Zhongxian had very good eyesight and recognized Wang Wan's carriage at a glance and reminded Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, without saying much, and just watched Wang Wan's carriage approaching quietly.
As early as when he was in Yongcheng, Wang Wan sent someone to notify him and asked him to return to Xianyang as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, it should be related to Chu Nan Pavilion.
Not long after, Wang Wan's carriage stopped at the entrance of Chunan Pavilion.
Wang Wan was seen dressed in official robes. He stepped out of the carriage in an old-looking manner, walked slowly to Zhao Hao, and saluted: "I have met Young Master Hao!"
"Old Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite. Hao has met the old Prime Minister!"
Zhao Hao responded politely.
But he saw Wang Wan smiling and waving his hands: "Young master, there is no need to be polite, let's talk about business first!"
"good!"
Zhao Hao nodded, then raised his finger and pointed at Chu Nange: "Old Prime Minister, does he know what happened?"
Although he had a rough guess in his mind, it was just a guess. He needed to know more about the situation to make the most accurate judgment.
But Wang Wan said: "This happened on the third day of His Majesty's eastward tour, which was also the day when the Young Master left Xianyang!"
"Oh? It happened on the day I left?"
"According to reports from the palace attendants, servants, and patrolling Imperial Guards near Chu Nan Pavilion, on the day of the Chu Nan Pavilion accident, the earth shook slightly for a while, but it was not very strong;
At first, they didn't pay attention, but one night passed, many weeds suddenly grew on the outer wall of Chunan Pavilion, and the stone bricks on the outer wall began to collapse inexplicably! "
"Someone once tried to get close to Chunan Pavilion, but before they could enter the gate, the ground collapsed..."
"The ground collapsed?"
The four of them, Zhao Hao, looked at each other and couldn't help but feel nervous.
They don't know how many tunnels they have dug underground. If the ground collapses, their tunnels will be easily discovered.
But looking at Wang Wan's expression, he didn't seem to find anything authentic.
"What happened to the person who fell?"
Zhao Hao asked calmly.
"It's nothing serious, it's just a pothole about half a person's height..." Wang Wan shook her head.
"In addition to the ground collapse, what else was discovered? Have you sent anyone in to check?" Zhao Hao asked.
"Since the old minister learned about this, he has strictly prohibited people from the palace from approaching. No one has entered the prince's chamber so far!"
"My father's side..."
"Sir, you should know that things in the palace cannot be hidden from Your Majesty. Even if the old minister has not reported it to Your Majesty, someone will still report it to Your Majesty!"
Wang Wan said frankly.
Zhao Hao nodded in understanding, then glanced at Chu Nan Pavilion and said, "I plan to go in and find out what's going on inside. You should know that Chang Wei and Laifu are still inside. I can't Ignore them!"
"However, if the young master is in danger, the old ministers will be blamed, and it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain..."
Wang Wan said worriedly: "How about letting people from Qintian Prison come and take a look? Si Dao had always wanted to come before, but the old minister dissuaded him!"
"No need to go to so much trouble. No one is more familiar with my own bedroom than me. If I can't handle it, it's useless for anyone to come!" Zhao Hao waved his hand confidently.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want others to come, it's that Chu Nan Pavilion has too many secrets. If someone discovered the tunnel and light, he would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.
So for safety reasons, this matter can only be resolved by him personally.
However, with Wang Wan and the others outside, he at least didn't have to go in alone.
Seeing Zhao Hao's resolute attitude, Wang Wan looked at Han Xin helplessly: "Han Weiwei, what do you think?"
Han Xin glanced at Zhao Hao and said solemnly:
"Since the young master has his own ideas, I think we should seal off the Chunan Pavilion first, and at the same time let the people from the Qintian Prison come over and be on standby. If something unexpected happens, they can provide timely rescue!"
"Okay, it's decided!"
Before Wang Wan could agree, Zhao Hao made a decision first and said to the Zhongxian trio: "The old prime minister and the others are guarding here, so you can come in with me!"
"promise."
The three Zhongxians agreed in unison.
Soon, they slowly approached Chu Nan Pavilion under the nervous gazes of everyone.
As soon as he approached the gate of Chunan Pavilion, Zhao Hao felt cold all over, as if he had entered a world of ice and snow.
"this……"
Zhao Hao looked back at Zhongxian and the others with some surprise, and said in a daze: "Do you feel anything?"
"What does it feel like?"
Erhu blinked his eyes, looking puzzled.
Dahu and Zhongxian also looked at Zhao Hao with puzzled faces.
"You don't feel anything?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't dwell on the matter. He endured the cold and stepped into the gate of Chunan Pavilion.
Zhongxian and the other three followed closely behind, and no ground collapse occurred.
Seeing Zhao Hao and the others successfully enter the pavilion, Wang Wan and Han Xin looked at each other, surprised and secretly relieved.
the other side.
When Zhao Hao and the four of them entered the Chunan Pavilion, what they saw was not the dilapidated walls, mottled pillars, or the yard with lush grass, but the fruits and vegetables that were growing happily.
Tomatoes, which were originally the size of fists, are now as huge as pumpkins, and fruits and vegetables such as watermelons, potatoes, and peppers have more than doubled in size.
The most exaggerated thing is cotton seeds. A cotton ball can actually be used as a pillow.
"this"
Zhao Hao's eyes widened with astonishment on his face, thinking to himself, had he dug into space?
He remembered that the 'space crops' of later generations would appear in such an oversized situation.
But the fact is that this is undoubtedly the earth, and these fruits and vegetables have not entered space.
Then, the only possibility is that there is something in the tunnel that causes these fruits and vegetables to mutate.
"Sir, what is going on?"
Just when Zhao Hao was wondering what caused these fruits and vegetables to mutate, Erhu, who was walking behind him, asked in surprise.
Zhao Hao turned his head, glanced at Erhu, then at Zhongxian and Dahu, and said, "Let's split up. Dahu and Erhu go to the room to check for abnormalities. Zhongxian and I will go down to the tunnel to check!"
"No matter what abnormalities you find, don't touch them and wait for me to come up. Also, don't touch the fruits and vegetables in the yard!"
"yes!"
Dahu and Erhu nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hao didn't say much, and led Zhongxian straight to the tunnel entrance.
At this time, the tunnel entrance is no different from before.
Zhao Hao first lit a torch and threw it in. When he found that there was no problem inside, he went straight down to the tunnel.
As soon as he entered the tunnel, the chill in his body disappeared and was replaced by a burst of warmth.
But Zhongxian suddenly felt uncomfortable and said to him: "Sir, do you feel very hot?"
"It's hot?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and said with some confusion: "Do you feel hot?"
"Yeah, it's like going into a kiln."
Zhongxian replied sincerely.
Zhao Hao frowned and said, "When I first entered the gate, I felt very cold, but you didn't feel anything at all. Now that you have entered the tunnel, I feel very comfortable, but you feel very hot. This is too strange!"
"If you don't go further inside, maybe it will be different inside."
"good!"
Zhao Hao nodded, and then said solemnly: "If you feel any discomfort, you must report it in time to avoid danger!"
"clear."
Zhongxian responded, and the two of them slowly moved closer to the depths of the tunnel.
I don't know how long it took, but the two of them came to a tunnel entrance that collapsed and stopped.
"This place collapsed. Could it be the place where Chang Wei and the others disappeared?"
Zhongxian asked Zhao Hao with a solemn expression.
Zhao Hao knelt down and looked around at the shoe prints on the ground and the small mounds of soil scattered on both sides of the tunnel, and thought: "If Zhongxian and the others disappeared here, then there should be a sudden landslide here."
"There are two reasons for sudden collapse. One is a sudden collapse during the excavation process. The other is a sudden collapse after digging."
"If there is a sudden landslide during excavation, it is very likely that only one person will be buried inside, while another person is outside rescuing!"
"But looking around, there are no signs of rescue. It's obviously the second type!"
Hearing this, Zhongxian said thoughtfully: "Young master, you mean that after the tunnel was dug and new light appeared, a landslide occurred at the moment Chang Wei and Laifu went in to see the light?"
"It's possible that I didn't go in by myself."
"If you don't go in by yourself, then?"
"Look here!"
Zhao Hao pointed to the corner of the landslide and said to Zhongxian: "The sand here flows inward."
"Inward?"
Zhongxian was stunned and said in surprise: "Could it be that they were sucked in?"
"Well, that's how it should be!"
"Then what should we do now? Do we need to dig through this place again?"
Zhao Hao blinked, tilted his head and said, "Who dug it?"
Zhongxian's mouth twitched, he couldn't help raising his hand to his forehead, and sighed: "I'll do it."
"Can you do it alone?"
"If you understand me, you can dig together!"
"Well"
Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "I'd better go and look in other directions."
Zhongxian: "."
Zhao Hao: "."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Zhongxian reluctantly picked up the engineering shovel, walked to the entrance of the collapsed tunnel, and started digging.
Zhao Hao, on the other hand, crawled back and forth in the direction of the disappeared light path, looking for more clues.
Chang Wei dug a light tunnel, and the light group inside could transfer objects in reality.
The first time Zhao Hao tried to transfer, he almost destroyed Dahu. The second time he tried to transfer, he directly demolished Ying Zheng's palace.
When he was about to try again, the light path disappeared inexplicably.
Now, a strange phenomenon occurred in Chu Nan Pavilion, and Zhao Hao wanted to know whether this strange phenomenon was related to that light path.
"No, it really happened?!"
Zhao Hao came to the direction of the disappearing light path and was shocked when he saw a bright light path at a glance.
However, just when he wanted to get closer to the light channel, he suddenly found that the light beam in the light channel was getting closer and closer to him.
"Fuck!"
Zhao Hao cursed subconsciously, turned around and ran away without saying a word.
However, how can a person's speed exceed the speed of light?
Before Zhao Hao could react, his entire body was wrapped in light and disappeared into the tunnel in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Zhongxian, who was digging the cave-in tunnel, suddenly felt the ground shaking.
Immediately afterwards, a section of the tunnel that had been dug collapsed again.
"Master!!!"
Zhongxian was shocked, threw away the engineering shovel without thinking, and ran in the direction Zhao Hao left.
On the other side, above the tunnel.
Big Tiger and Erhu, who were searching for abnormalities in the room, also felt the ground shaking.
Without any time to think, the two of them hurriedly ran out of the room, and what they saw was another strange sight.
I saw that those extraordinary fruits and vegetables were returning to their original appearance.
"this"
When Dahu and Erhu saw this, they were stunned on the spot.
