Liu Kuan was panicked. To be precise, he was panicked from the first moment he saw Shen Hao. This kind of panic, for no reason, is not because he is worried about being found out by Shen Hao. On the contrary, he has done a good job recently, both externally and internally, he has changed from his previous dawdling appearance.
But just seeing Shen Hao made me panic. Perhaps another word is more appropriate, fear.
The wild boar is not afraid of the tiger because it has stolen something from the tiger, but because the tiger can eat it.
Now Liu Kuan felt that he was a pitiful and helpless wild boar, and the cold-faced Shen Hao next to him was the tiger considering whether to eat him.
After checking the documents, I looked at the list of letters in the copper cabinet, and finally went to the dungeon to see the defense situation.
"Very good job." Even though Shen Hao had a cold face, he had to say that Liu Kuan handled the matter in a solid manner. At least he did not find anything that could be regarded as an "error" during his surprise inspection.
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating. This subordinate is just following your instructions. It doesn't mean anything." Hearing the compliment, Liu Kuan didn't dare to relax at all. He knew that Master Shen in front of him was a master at digging holes. He praised you for being the best at digging holes. True, but it could also be irony, and you'd be really stupid to take it seriously.
"Where's the Caiyuan Manor? How's it going now?"
"Reply to the adults. It has become the norm over there at Caiyuan Manor. According to your previous instructions, not only has a covered house been built to isolate the outside world, but there are also light and dark sentries and several defensive and covering magic circles. There are usually five people stationed there. The guards are manned and rotated every three days. There are also permanent checkpoints set up by the garrison outside. The area that used to be the Caiyuan Manor is now designated as a restricted area."
This was an inquiry that Liu Kuan had expected a long time ago. After all, apart from the internal affairs around Tukui City, the only place that is unique to Tukui City is the Tomb of the Sword Emperor, which once made a lot of noise. It is the location of the former Caiyuanzhuang.
After the Sword Emperor Tomb was temporarily closed, Liu Kuan often received inquiries from Shen Hao. He never dared to be careless and strictly followed Shen Hao's requirements to build Caiyuan Manor into a strictly guarded area bit by bit. What loopholes will there be.
"Very good, but since you're already here, I want to go over and have a look. You should prepare yourself."
"Sir, dinner is ready. Do you want to go after dinner?" Liu Kuan made a reservation at the best flower house in Tukui City, and also invited Lian Xiangge, who is said to be with Hongenyuan in Fengri City. Ji has a pretty sister as her companion. She feels that this is a great opportunity to flatter her, and she doesn't want to let it go.
However, Shen Hao had no such thoughts at all. He was always pretending that something was wrong.
"Let's go take a look first. We can eat together when we have time after dinner."
"It's my lord, I'll get ready right now."
Seeing Shen Hao's cold face and tone, he didn't dare to dissuade him at all. After bowing and handing over his hands, he called on the adults below to prepare the carriages and horses, and then all the way out of Tukui City towards Caiyuan Manor.
Along the way, Shen Haodu sat alone in the carriage without being summoned by anyone, until he arrived at the checkpoint outside Caiyuan Manor.
Shen Hao got out of the car and walked to experience the defense settings nearby. Generally speaking, it was not particularly strict, but it could definitely be described as a "forbidden area". Most people would definitely not be able to enter. And there is no benefit for the monks to come in. Even the monks were not included in the initial defense considerations. Why are the monks running around here if they can't even enter the closed Sword Emperor Tomb? Just guard it against curious ordinary people.
Even the covering and defensive formations at the core entrance were erected under Shen Hao's special instructions. To be honest, in Liu Kuan's opinion, this was a bit of a fuss.
After entering Caiyuan Manor, Shen Hao felt as if it was yesterday. He had experienced the Cloud Sword Domain, the Tomb Beast, and the killings here. Everything was still fresh in his memory.
The entrance to the tomb was originally a pond, but now it has disappeared and is completely covered by a house with a radius of seven to eight feet. Moreover, there was only one door in and out of the house and no windows, so it was obviously not inhabited.
And when you get close to this house, you can sense obvious fluctuations in the formation.
"Sir, there are two formations, one for external defense and one for internal cover. As long as you pass through the outer defensive formation and enter, you will enter the scope of the covering formation. All reactions that may be emitted from the entrance inside will be isolated. In the formation.
In addition, there will be someone on duty outside the house, which will not stop at twelve hours a day. "
Liu Kuan followed Shen Hao carefully, explaining the various layouts in Caiyuan Manor as he walked.
"Very good. Let's go into the formation and have a look."
"Okay sir."
Because we were entering the house, the inside was not as good as the outside after all, so the guards brought by Shen Hao were all standing guard outside, including the three masters sent by the commander's office who were also dressed as guards. They didn't think there was anything wrong. Responsibly stay outside the house.
Liu Kuan didn't feel anything was wrong, so he walked in front and led the way, opened the magic circle, and then led the way.
Entering the room, Liu Kuan lit a candle, and the entrance to the tomb in Shen Hao's memory appeared in front of him again. A door like a thick cloud filled the opening.
Except for the entrance to the tomb, there was nothing in the room, and it remained as empty as before.
"Sir, you see, this place is completely isolated..."
"Liu Kuan." Shen Hao suddenly interrupted Liu Kuan's words.
"What are your orders, my lord?"
Shen Hao stretched out his hand in front of Liu Kuan, with a pill in his palm. Liu Kuan had no idea what he was going to do.
"This is the Dream Pill. After you take it, you will fall asleep for two hours, or there may be an antidote to it. It will also be effective for monks like you. Take it, and I need you to sleep for two hours."
"Ah?" Liu Kuan naturally knew about Qian Meng Dan, but what he didn't understand was why Shen Hao suddenly wanted him to eat it. Also, what does "need you to sleep for two hours" mean?
However, Liu Kuan reacted quickly enough. He immediately understood why Shen Hao suddenly visited Tukui City and refused the normal banquet. Instead, he rushed all the way here. It's said to be an inspection, but what's there to investigate here? Immediately, he quickly glanced at the entrance to the tomb on the side.
Liu Kuan suddenly seemed to understand something.
"I obey my orders!"
Liu Kuan gritted his teeth and picked up the Lianmeng Pill in Shen Hao's hand. Without hesitation, he raised his head and put the pill into his mouth. After swallowing, he opened his mouth to signal.
"Very good! Liu Kuan, you are indeed a smart man."
"Many, thank you, sir, for complimenting..." Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Kuan felt an overwhelming fatigue rising, his eyelids were extremely heavy and he had no strength to speak anymore, and his whole body softened. fell down.
Shen Hao supported Liu Kuan, who had fallen asleep due to the elixir, and laid him flat on the ground. Just as he had expected, Liu Kuan, a smart man, made the most appropriate choice, and [Doudou] finally gave him time to try to see if he could really enter the sealed Sword Emperor Tomb again.
