Accompanied by this wave of explosions, there was an overwhelming amount of broken pieces of meat.
A hole was blown through the tunnel, and screams from the palace people came from above. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, along with the bones in the tunnel, spraying everywhere.
After the explosion finally stabilized, the three of them recovered.
At this time, their bodies were already covered with the flesh and blood of the python, which looked sticky and disgusting.
"How are you?" Mu Canglin and Bai Liran asked simultaneously.
Then, the two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and Mu Canlin quietly took back his hand on Yun Jiutang.
"Are you okay?" Bai Liran did not notice his emotional changes, but instead lifted Yun Jiutang's arm with concern to check.
"I'm fine! I'm just a little sick!" Yun Jiutang looked at the hole and said secretly, "We have to get out of here quickly!"
The noise caused this time is too great. If you continue to stay, you will be exposed.
Fortunately, the python's body attracted everyone's attention.
The three of them quickly took the opportunity to escape. As they walked, Bai Liran couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with the python?"
"It's probably because of those charcoal pellets," Yun Jiutang said, "Before, when we were in the water, the crocodile pellets were swallowed by it and they didn't explode. Just now, after being beaten like that by the prince, they exploded!"
"It doesn't matter if you blow it up, it will reveal the secret hidden here!" Mu Canglin's voice was very cold.
Along the way, there were fragments of skeletons scattered all over the place, most of which were incomplete.
Yun Jiutang also noticed that the clothes here were not necessarily palace clothes. Many of them were dirty and broken, and their original appearance could not be seen.
But judging from the patterned accessories, he may not even be from Dayong.
"This..." Bai Liran picked up an earring on the ground and frowned, "It looks like an accessory from southern Xinjiang."
"How could people from Southern Xinjiang die under the Great Yong Palace?" Yun Jiutang couldn't help but wonder.
"This secret passage has existed for a long time, and the accessories seem to be old. Maybe they belong to the South Vietnamese who came here in the early years, when Dayong and South Vietnam were still on good terms." Bai Liran said , "I'm not sure either, let's have another look!"
Southern Xinjiang is an area. In addition to South Vietnam, there are other small affiliated countries, as well as part of Dayong's land adjacent to South Vietnam.
In the early years, we did have good relations with South Vietnam, and marriages between the two countries were relatively frequent.
Naturally, many people from South Vietnam have come to the palace, but I have never heard of anyone missing.
Later, the current emperor usurped the throne and completely turned against South Vietnam. Over the years, they have been fighting constantly with South Vietnam.
There is no one in the palace who is from South Vietnam. Anyone who pretends to be South Vietnam will be punished.
Over the years, the Nanyue people have disappeared from Dayong Palace, so it is really possible that these are remnants of the previous dynasty.
But that’s intriguing enough!
The three of them didn't say much, but there were sounds from behind.
It was obvious that someone above was planning to dig out the secret passage and check what was going on inside.
They quickly sped away, and as they were walking, Mu Canglin suddenly pulled them back.
"What's wrong?" Yun Jiutang asked softly.
He looked like this, his expression was too solemn, which made people a little scared.
Mu Canglin made a silent gesture and cautiously took a few steps forward.
The secret passage here is winding and winding, and if you are not careful, you will get lost in it.
Mu Canglin walked forward attentively. After passing a few corners, he suddenly stopped.
This time, he didn't need to remind him. Yun Jiutang also heard howls coming from the darkness.
In other words, it was a weak Shen Yin.
Tiny sounds came intermittently, amplified by the secret passage, which was indeed a bit scary.
However, with two masters beside him, Yun Jiutang's mentality was very stable.
"This seems to be the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart." Mu Canlin raised his head and looked at the deep secret passage in the distance.
The candles they were holding now were those that Yun Jiutang had prepared a long time ago.
The area illuminated by this candle is limited. It is pitch black in front of me and I don’t know where it leads.
"Don't act rashly. Let's explore first before talking." Bai Liran said, "What if it's a trap?"
He understood that Mu Canglin was eager to save his mother and could easily lose his calm judgment.
With all the emperor's current behavior, it's hard to say whether he has set a trap here.
"Now we have alerted the enemy. If we don't act as soon as possible, our father may be alert." Mu Canglin said, "Now is a good time!"
He was right. Based on the emperor's performance, it was impossible not to know that this secret passage connected the lake and the Yangxin Palace.
Now that something happened here, the emperor would definitely be on guard afterwards.
If you don’t take action when you have the opportunity, I’m afraid it will be even more troublesome later!
"Let's go, then hurry over!" Yun Jiutang said.
Hearing this, Mu Canglin shook his head and said, "No need, I will go there myself."
"Don't be brave! Let's all work together and take care of each other!" Bai Liran said.
"There are experts outside Yangxin Hall. If there are many people, they will be easily exposed." Mu Canglin said, "I will go in to save people, and you guys will take care of them below."
The plan was finalized and the three moved on.
Just as they expected, the end of the secret passage was really the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
As soon as they approached, they alerted a group of rats that were hunting here.
They squeaked and scattered, leaving behind the bloody skeletons underneath.
"This place looks like a place where corpses and traces have been destroyed." Bai Liran said in a deep voice.
Who would have thought that under the magnificent Yangxin Palace, there would be such a hidden filth.
But now is not the time to sigh. If you want to enter the dark room of Yangxin Palace, there is still a stone door blocking it.
The stone door is wide and strong, and is very high from the bottom of the secret passage.
Without a focus, it is not easy to open this door and enter.
At this time, he saw Mu Canglin listening quietly for a moment to make sure there was no one outside. He immediately gathered his strength and struck out with a sudden blow.
They had all seen Mu Canglin's martial arts. He could kill a python with one palm strike.
As a result, it fell on this stone door, but not even a crack appeared.
This stone gate is obviously stronger than imagined.
"Is there... a mechanism in this?" Bai Liran said, "This is obviously not an ordinary stone!"
"Even if there is a mechanism, it will not be left outside." Yun Jiutang said, "This is obviously a sewer entrance that destroys corpses and eliminates traces."
The method of sneaking in from here won't work. Making too much noise will easily alert people outside.
At this moment, an angry scolding suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.
"who!"
"No! We've been discovered!" Bai Liran clicked his tongue, poked Mu Canglin and said, "Let's take a long-term approach to rescuing people!"
Almost at the same time, I heard someone shouting: "There is an assassin! Catch the assassin!"
The next moment, a group of guards rushed in one after another.
It was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so the three of them quickly turned around and left.
As soon as they ran away a step, the two of them raised their hands in tacit understanding, one of them crossed their arms and ran away together, carrying Yun Jiutang.
Yun Jiutang was completely suspended in the air. As he walked through this dark passage, he didn't have to worry about hitting the wall or anything.
The perception of these two masters is much stronger than hers.
But at the same time, more and more guards poured in.
The three of them ran for a while and suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Then, they quickly chose another direction to run.
But soon, someone there blocked the way.
"Unfortunately! We seem to be surrounded!"
