In the dark and damp underwater passage, Li Xuan placed her hand on the hilt of the Eight-sided Han Sword and walked down slowly and cautiously.
Coming down from the entrance at the bottom of the Weihe River, Li Xuan walked down a secret passage. The steps built many years ago were very smooth.
If you don't pay attention, it will immediately fall to the bottom of the tragedy.
Li Xuan walked down slowly, recalling in his mind all the information about Han Chang'an City that he had read during this period.
The Wei River is in the north, and the Han Chang'an City is in the south.
During the Han Dynasty, the distance between the imperial palace and the Weishui River was only a few kilometers. However, the Han Chang'an City fell deep underground during years of wars, earthquakes, and migrations, and because of the uneven softness of the underground soil and rock layers, , the city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty gradually moved towards the direction of the Wei River.
The sound of water flowing under my feet has completely stopped.
It was this sound that allowed Li Xuan to completely determine the depth of this secret passage.
One hundred meters.
From the bottom of the Wei River to a hundred meters underground, Li Xuan didn't know how King Luo Bin and the others dug out such a secret tunnel, but there was no doubt that this secret tunnel leading from the Han Chang'an Palace to the Wei River gave King Luo Bin Great convenience.
For many years, no one has doubted the connection between King Luo Bin and King Donghai. This secret passage is of great use.
Returning from Chang'an City to Wugong County, and from Wugong County to Chang'an City, any delay would be enough for King Luo Bin to deal with Wu Sheng Dao's affairs out of sight.
Plot everything.
…
Li Xuan stopped. In the dark tunnel, he could smell thick water vapor on the tip of his nose.
Li Xuan turned to look to the left. Without thinking, she pressed her left hand directly on the wall. The next moment, she exerted force with her left palm, and a secret passage was opened in the darkness.
Li Xuan lowered his head and looked down. Although he couldn't see it, he knew that there was a puddle more than ten meters deep below.
If Li Xuan really wants to continue walking down, he will inevitably enter a puddle.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the machine behind him was closed, and a clean and refreshing passage appeared in front of Li Xuan.
A fire stick was thrown by Li Xuan, and was bounced sideways in the blink of an eye. The fire flashed in mid-air, illuminating everything in front of him.
A passage about three meters wide and two meters high, with waist-thick wooden stakes on both sides of the roof, appeared in front of Li Xuan.
The light flashed away, and there was no trace of King Luo Bin in the passage, but the tunnel was full of wet footprints left by King Luo Bin running past.
Li Xuan took a step forward. In the darkness, he had already stepped on King Luo Bin's footsteps and continued to move forward.
He also directly picked up the Huozhezi that fell on the ground.
There are no agencies.
Li Xuan followed the footsteps of King Luo Bin for four miles from the exit of the passage, but did not trigger any mechanisms.
Although he has always stepped on King Luo Bin's footsteps, it is difficult to pay attention to the strength, but even if it is different in depth, it does not trigger any mechanism.
King Luo Bin did not appear. After completing the journey, Li Xuan also knew that King Luo Bin would not appear.
This underground secret passage was not built by King Luo Bin and others at all, and there is no mechanism in it.
It is very likely that this place was preserved during the Han Dynasty. Although I don’t know why, they did not directly destroy this secret passage when they sank into the ground. However, after hundreds of years, this secret passage has aged. It's out of shape.
Although it is said to be supported by wooden piles, if we really want to fight here, then no one can get out, and they will all die here.
Standing at the end of the passage, Li Xuan looked at the exit of the secret passage above his head, his expression becoming solemn.
Outside, there was no doubt that King Luo Bin was fully prepared, but Li Xuan had to go up.
…
With a "squeak" sound, the mechanism opened, and in an instant, a figure rushed out at an extremely fast speed.
But at this moment, a long spear stabbed over fiercely, and in the blink of an eye it had pierced the figure that came out.
"That's not right." King Luo Bin's look of surprise had just appeared, and the tough sword blade had already rushed forward, severely cutting open the long branch above. At this moment, Li Xuan had jumped out of the tunnel, steadily He was standing on the other side of the tunnel exit, outside the long range of King Luo Bin.
In an instant, Li Xuan could see everything around him clearly.
In the large square, six torches were hung on the four walls. Six meters above the head, there was a rock floor that could smash the entire underground palace to pieces.
But it happened to stop at the top, without being pressed down, and just motionless.
It is precisely because it has not been knocked down for so many years that this area of the underground palace has been preserved.
On the door of the main hall in front, there is a black and red plaque of Mingguang Palace hanging.
After countless years, the red paint has almost become the same as black.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on King Luo Bin opposite him. He held the sword blade in his right hand and protected it in front of him. At the same time, Li Xuan sighed softly: "I thought I could get to Weiyang Palace, but I didn't expect that I only got to Mingguang Palace."
King Luo Bin's face suddenly darkened. Li Xuan's words showed that he knew more about this place than King Luo Bin thought, and earlier.
Mingguang Palace was built in the autumn of the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and is located on the north side of the Chang'an Palace of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu built this palace for a somewhat special purpose, to pray for the arrival of gods.
The name "Mingguang" originally refers to Danqiu, which is always bright day and night in myths and legends. It is a place for gods and goddesses, and it means a palace for gods to enjoy.
"Sanfu Huangtu·Ganquan Palace": "Emperor Wu asked for immortality and raised Mingguang Palace, and sent 2,000 beauties from Yan and Zhao to fill it."
In the contiguous palaces behind, there were once hidden countless beauties to accompany the immortals.
But these beauties have now turned into withered bones.
The so-called immortals have never been born.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on King Luo Bin. Next to the ancient tripod in the center of the square, a figure sat cross-legged. His eyes were close together and his body was thin. He had no reaction to Li Xuan's arrival. This person was surprisingly the same person who was in Luoyang a few months ago. Li Miao, the Wusheng Taoist master who assassinated Li Xuan.
"The Weiyang Palace is behind you. Go out from the palace gate and follow the pavilions and pavilions to get to the Weiyang Palace. But unfortunately, the Weiyang Palace has been destroyed long ago." King Luo Bin's faint words made Li Xuan instantly understand. King Luo Bin has conducted the most comprehensive excavation of this secretly discovered Han Chang'an Palace...
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Li Xuan's mind, and he instantly blurted out: "This place was discovered back then, but it has never been known to the outside world."
That year, which year, was of course the Takeru period.
Although the King of Qin had military power at the time, his control over Chang'an was far inferior to that of Prince Jiancheng and the great ancestor Li Yuan. Although he finally succeeded in winning the final victory through beheading tactics, more secrets were buried in the dust of history. among.
And one of these historical dust was picked up by King Luo Bin, and after a little wiping, it became a pearl of history.
"It is said that the King of Nanchang is smart, but now I see that he is indeed well-deserved." King Luo Bin took back the long tree in his hand and then stood it up in front of him.
With a trace of surprise on his face, King Luo Bin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. He just said one sentence, and Li Xuan had already guessed so much.
Looking up at the surrounding palaces, King Luo Bin said softly: "Although my grandfather was under house arrest and became the Supreme Emperor, he was still able to spread some news. In the end, those things fell into my hands."
After all, Gaozu had been emperor for nine years, and Taizong suddenly broke out. Even if Gaozu was placed under house arrest, it might not be able to block all the news.
The reason why there was no more chaos later was because Emperor Gaozu had only one legitimate son left, Taizong, and he had no choice.
Li Xuan looked at King Luo Bin, with a sneer on his lips, and said softly: "You're not going to talk about the posthumous edict next, are you?"
King Luo Bin was stunned for a moment, then his expression darkened.
"I thought it was a little strange at first, why did you go to the Secretariat Ministry to get those worthless seals and documents? It turns out that what you really want is the secret hidden in those things, the so-called will. I’m afraid you just made it up to deceive others.”
Li Xuan's breathing became heavy at the same time, and the scolding Wu Chengsi received for nothing turned out to be just a way for King Luo Bin to cover his eyes.
King Luo Bin really didn't expect that Li Xuan's thoughts would be so fast, and he would already be thinking of somewhere else in the blink of an eye.
But King Luo Bin did not speak, and was still staring at Li Xuan, as if he was looking forward to it, but also a little afraid of what he would say next.
Li Xuan's face suddenly turned completely gloomy. He looked at King Luo Bin, and his breathing suddenly became lighter. He touched his left hand on his waist. The next moment, an extremely sharp soft sword appeared on his hand. in hand.
The eight-faced Han sword is strong, and the sharp sword is sharp. Li Xuan's expression is already extremely determined.
At this moment, King Luo Bin suddenly said: "Twenty-seventh Lang, let's cooperate!"
Li Xuan paused slightly when he was about to take a step forward, then raised his head. Although there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, his expression was terrifyingly calm.
King Luo Bin raised his head, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and said coldly: "This world belongs to my Li family after all. Although Li Zhi is the emperor now, he is suspicious, warlike, and greedy for power. He would rather hand over his power to someone Women are not willing to hand it over to their own sons. Believe it or not, Li Xian will die before Li Zhi, just like Li Hong back then."
"Emperor, there is someone who is unsuspecting, warlike, and greedy for power. Without these, he might be pushed down and drowned when he is playing in the garden one day." Li Xuan's expression remained unmoved. Although what King Luo Bin said was very similar, Li Xuan, who had read all the history, did not believe a word of it.
In particular, the filial emperor Li Hong died of illness. As for Li Xian, although he was a good prince, he had a fatal weakness.
Seeing Li Xuan's attitude, King Luo Bin frowned slightly, and then suddenly said: "So, you want Li Xian to die?"
The children of the royal family are extremely sensitive to power. If they catch a slight flaw, they can immediately discover the true intention.
"No wonder there are rumors that you have a good relationship with the King of England and the Prime Minister. It turns out that it is for the future." King Luo Bin blurted out what he said directly. After finishing speaking, even he looked at Li Xuan in surprise. Li Xuan Is the layout so far away?
"What happens to the prince depends on his own destiny, but what we really want to see is His Majesty's attitude." Li Xuan sighed softly, shook his head and said, "I will try my best to dissuade the prince. If the prince can leave his side, Those noises, if you listen carefully to my advice, then he can naturally keep his position as the prince forever. If he fails to listen to my advice, then what will happen to him... What I can do is to save his life in the end. .”
"Yes, there are already too many people around Li Xian, and you can't get close at all, but Li Xian is different. You two are too close." King Luo Bin looked at Li Xuan and said with emotion: "Yes, now Li Xian There are too few people around you. Even if there are more people in the future, they will not be able to shake your position next to Li Xian."
"Your Majesty, everything is subject to His Majesty's will." Li Xuan's eyebrows were lowered, but the sword tips in his hands were beating slightly, as if he would pounce forward at any time.
"No, in that case, we should cooperate more."
