"This method is feasible. It does not conflict with what we thought before. It is even a bit icing on the cake." His Highness nodded towards A Piao, then turned to Hei Lu'er, "It is just to make your people work harder and spend more money." Get some strength."
"It's not hard work, it's just that we have to carefully arrange how to say it and how to spread it, so that this story can be spread more widely." Hei Lu'er sneered, "Wanyan Qingmu has been plotting against us all day long, so let's pay him back a little bit. Once, it’s not too much.”
"How can this be too much?" His Highness chuckled, "We are just telling the truth."
Ah Piao watched the two people talking to each other and started to discuss what should be done. She shook her head helplessly and continued to look for clues in the room. With her experience and knowledge, there was not only one secret room in this room.
She lifted each shelf and shelf in turn, tapping every suspicious spot. Finally, when she hit the shorter three-story shelf diagonally to the right of the desk, it was the first shelf she checked. Suddenly separated from both sides.
The two people who were still discussing were startled by the movement. They looked around and found that there was another secret room in the room.
"Small but complete."
Hei Luer quickly blocked His Highness behind him to prevent any strange things from shooting out and injuring His Highness. After waiting for a long time, nothing happened, so I felt relieved.
"What kind of place is this?"
His Highness was curious and wanted to poke his head towards that location, but was suddenly grabbed by Hei Luer and A Piao.
"Your Highness, be careful, the situation here is unknown." A Piao waved his hand towards the people at the door, "A few people are here."
Several guards guarding the door came in and saluted the three of them.
"Bring a torch and explore the way inside. Be careful."
"yes."
Ah Piao and Hei Lu'er pulled His Highness back two steps, made way for several guards, and watched them carefully walk inside.
"What do you think..." Her Highness looked at several guards lining up in a vertical row and slowly sliding in. She sighed softly, "What could be here?"
"Since there is already a secret room, it doesn't make sense to have another secret room, right?" Hei Lu'er looked at Ah Piao, "My sister is good at this, what kind of insights does she have?"
"According to normal circumstances, there should be no possibility of two secret rooms, but..." Ah Piao touched her chin, her expression a little confused, "Wanyan Qingmu can't be considered a normal person, right? His brain can't be considered normal either. Brain, right?"
"That's true." Hei Lu'er nodded, "But let's just have a casual chat, right? Just tell us what you think!"
"If I have to say, I think this is just a secret passage, not a secret room." Seeing the two people looking at him, Ah Piao shrugged, "As for where the other end of the secret passage leads to, is it the same? A secret room, then I don’t know.”
"Your Highness, General, Master Piao!" A guard who went to explore the road hurried back and saluted in front of the three people, "We have found out that this is a secret passage leading to a secret room, but..." His expression was a little hesitant, "It's just..."
"Just what? Say it!" Seeing the guard hesitating, Hei Luer went up and punched him, "Say it quickly!"
"Sir, it's not that I'm hesitant, it's that I don't know what's inside." The guard looked at the three people in front of him, "It's something strange that I've never seen before."
"A strange thing I've never seen before?" The three people looked at each other and took the first step at the same time, "Let's go and have a look."
"Lead the way." A Piao raised her chin towards the guard, then pulled His Highness back and raised an eyebrow at Hei Lu'er, "My lord, please."
Hei Luer smiled helplessly and followed the guard.
Because everyone has fire seals in their hands, the entire secret passage is not as dark as imagined, and the path can still be seen. However, I don’t know if it is because no one has come for a long time. There is a wave in this secret passage. I can't tell if it smells like mold or something else.
"It smells of blood." A Piao said coldly, and saw several people turn around and wave their hands towards them, "Don't get me wrong, it's not the fresh kind, but the kind that has been there for a long, long, long time, at least It has to be..." She thought for a moment, "Well... ten years."
"Ten years?" Hei Lu'er and His Highness looked at each other, "Is it so long?"
"At least ten years, that's still at least. But..." Ah Piao touched her nose and blinked suspiciously, "It seems to belong to some kind of animal, not a human."
"I quite trust your nose." His Highness nodded, "Don't worry about it, just go and see what it is."
While talking, several people had already walked through the secret passage and arrived at the secret room the guard said. The guards guarding the door saluted when they saw His Highness, Hei Lu'er and Ah Piao.
"Your Highness, there's something..." The guard in the secret room heard the noise outside and ran out, "It's a bit weird, a bit scary, and a bit... well, disgusting."
"Really?" His Highness raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's quite interesting, let's go and have a look?"
Before Hei Lu'er and Ah Piao could react, Her Highness rushed into the secret room excitedly. Before Hei Lu'er and Ah Piao could walk in, she covered her mouth and ran out. He ran to a place far away from the door of the secret room and began to retching uncomfortably.
"Your Highness?" Ah Piao was very worried and waved her hand towards Hei Lu'er, letting him go in by himself. Then she walked up to His Highness and patted her on the back gently, "Your Highness, are you okay?" She took out an oil paper bag from her sleeves, opened it, took a hawthorn ball and stuffed it into His Highness's mouth. "Eat this, it will feel good."
With the hawthorn taste in his mouth, he finally suppressed the nausea in his heart. His Highness rested his head on Ah Piao's shoulder and rubbed it for a long time.
"Are you feeling better?" Ah Piao looked at His Highness, "You still look a little bad. How about I help you take a rest?"
"……good!"
Just as the two of them were about to turn around, they saw Hei Luer rushing out with a livid face. He grabbed the oil paper bag in A Piao's hand and poured the hawthorn balls inside into his mouth like crazy.
"What's going on?"
Hei Lu'er's reaction made Ah Piao curious about what was going on inside. She temporarily left His Highness to Hei Lu'er to take care of her, and ran into the secret room alone. The guard guarding the door originally wanted to stop him, but Ah Piao It was floating too fast and they didn't stop it.
However, when Ah Piao ran in and saw the furnishings in the secret room, he finally understood why these people had this reaction.
Inside this secret room, the skins and bones of large animals were placed, and the entire secret room was filled with the filthy smell they had asked about in the secret passage before.
