Chapter 203 Finding the Dark Room
Chapter 203 Finding the Dark Room
The old voice sighed, shook his head and said, "Probably not. Maybe they just look alike."
"She is the Crown Princess of Anguo. She can't be that child."
The old Saint King nodded, "Have you found out what kind of family she is from?"
"That woman is smart. It's not impossible for her to send the child to Anguo."
The old voice said, "I found out that she is the sister of Anguo Leshan Hou, so I said it's impossible."
The old Saint King frowned, "But they look too much alike."
Yuan Man frowned. So she looked very similar to the old Saint Princess, making them mistakenly think that she was the child who was sent away that year?
Thinking of something, he turned to look at Hui Chengyuan and whispered, "The old Saint Princess has been to the imperial capital, and the queen has seen her, so she felt familiar when she saw me."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "I just don't know why that playboy from the Zhou family would also find you familiar."
However, the Yao tribe is quite capable. They were able to find out their identities so quickly. You know, they didn't reveal their identities to anyone when they came here.
The old Saint King said again: "Why did she, the Crown Princess of Anguo, come here?"
"The Crown Princess is here in Yao City, so is the Crown Prince here too?"
The old voice said, "The Prince of Anguo is indeed here. They came from Longcheng. They should be here to play in Anguo."
"Don't worry, they will be back soon. After all, a prince of a country cannot stay in another country for too long."
"Yes, it would be very troublesome if the Crown Princess died in our Yao tribe." The old Saint King murmured.
There was no movement inside. After a long time, the old Saint King came out of the study, but the other person did not come out, which shows that there are other passages in the study.
Yuan Man whispered, "Let's go in and take a look."
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Wait a little longer."
Yuanman nodded.
Sure enough, after about an incense stick of time, another person came out.
After the man walked away, Yuanman felt someone approaching this side, and there was more than one person.
"Let's go in. His shadow guard should be here."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, and the two of them sneaked into the study.
Yuanman looked to the right, Hui Chengyuan looked to the left, and the two of them began to flip through the pages quietly.
Yuan Man mainly wanted to find the secret room and the secret compartment. For a shrewd person like the old Saint King, how could he possibly put the evidence on the surface?
Hui Chengyuan searched more carefully, flipping through the brochures and folds on the desk and turning over the books on the shelf one by one.
When I saw the bookweight in the corner of the bookshelf, my heart moved. Then I looked at it carefully and found that it was very clean and smooth, with some wear marks on the edges.
Hui Chengyuan looked at the direction of the wear marks, pulled out the paperweight, and then heard a click. A large piece of the painting on the wall sank down, just enough for one person to pass through.
Yuan Man ran over and saw the entrance to the dark room. He gave Hui Chengyuan a thumbs up and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Hui Chengyuan grabbed her and shook his head, saying, "This is only big enough to hide one person. It's not a dark room."
Yuanman took a closer look and found that it was indeed a small space with only one chair inside, which was only big enough for one or two people to hide.
"So, the old man had been hiding in here before."
"Yeah." Hui Chengyuan walked in and took a look. There was nothing else hidden there. It was purely used to hide people, so he closed the space again.
Yuanman went back to the right and continued searching, only to find that there was nothing in the study.
"Come on, we have to find another place. There's nothing here."
Hui Chengyuan nodded. There was really nothing here. They were all matters concerning the Yao tribe.
"Wait a moment, I'll find a way to lure away those secret guards."
Yuan Man smiled at him and shook his head, "No need."
I saw a very slight cicada-like sound coming from her mouth.
Hui Chengyuan looked at her mouth, "Is this the sound of calling Yuanyi and the others?"
Yuan Man nodded, "Yes, different sounds represent different meanings. It took me a long time to learn this from Yuan Yi."
"If you want to learn, find Yuan Yi and let him teach you."
Hui Chengyuan came close to her and asked, "You teach me."
Yuan Man grinned, "Okay, but whether you can learn it well or not depends on your ability."
"Okay, if I can't learn it, it's because I'm stupid, it's none of A-Man's business." Hui Chengyuan nodded with a smile.
Soon, a cicada's voice was heard outside, "Let's go out. Yuan Yi led the secret guards away."
The two of them left the study and walked towards the old Saint King's bedroom.
What they didn't expect was that the old Holy King was not in the bedroom.
"He's already old, could he have gone to some place of comfort?" Yuan Man murmured in a low voice.
Hui Chengyuan flicked her forehead and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
However, they didn't find anything in the bedroom, and they searched several other places, but still found nothing.
Yuan Man sat on a big tree in the rockery forest in the backyard, looking at the old Saint King's Mansion in front of him, "We searched almost everywhere here, but there is nothing. This old man is too good at hiding."
Hui Chengyuan stood beside her and looked at the rockery in front of them. It looked desolate, but it was very clean.
"Aman, there is still one place we haven't seen."
"Where?" Yuan Man looked at him and saw him looking at the forest where they were. He followed his gaze and his eyes lit up.
"My husband is smart."
"Let's go and take a look. I don't believe that the old man really didn't leave any evidence or any secret room." As he said this, he rushed into the forest, and Hui Chengyuan followed closely behind.
Yuan Man landed on a rock, looked around and found that the scenery here was nice and it should not be abandoned.
There is only one possibility, the old man's secret is hidden here, so he told people not to come here, except for a few trusted people who come to clean up.
"Ah Xiao, you look this way, and I'll look that way."
"Okay." Hui Chengyuan responded with a smile, and started looking for it after she left.
No matter what kind of mechanism it is, it will always leave traces over time.
This time it was Yuan Man who found the mechanism. "Ah Xiao, come here quickly. It's over here."
Hui Chengyuan came to her side and saw the protruding stone on the stone mountain. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing different, but a closer look revealed an invisible crack between it and the stone body.
Yuanman covered it with a handkerchief and patted it. Sure enough, a dark entrance appeared on the side of the stone mountain.
Hye Seung Won took off the handkerchief and put it away, then held her hand and walked to the entrance first.
"I'll go down first, and you'll follow."
Yuanman followed behind him, looked at his broad back, and smiled. It felt good.
The door closed automatically as they entered the darkroom. Hui Chengyuan wanted to take out a tinderbox, but when he saw some lights at the end of the corridor, he raised his hand and held Yuanman's hand instead.
When you get to the end, you'll see a large space filled with various boxes on the left and three iron doors on the right.
