Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Not long after, flames suddenly shot up into the sky in the yard at the foot of the mountain. Gu Shu whistled, and everyone got up and rushed down the mountain.

When they got closer, they realized that there was no trace of the assassin in the yard.

The light shadows I saw on the mountain were real, they were actually eternal lamps.

But the figure is fake.

It turned out that the assassins had already prepared to be tracked. They had planned it in advance. After running to this yard, they activated the mechanism, the fake figures began to move, but they escaped.

With the help of the raccoon cat, the ancient tree discovered the secret passage mechanism and smashed it with one palm. A dark hole appeared in front of everyone.

Just as he was about to go in through the secret passage, he thought it was not right, so he quickly threw a smoke bomb in to block the opening on this side, and asked someone to go to the mountain outside to observe.

After a while, whistles were heard and people on the mountain said that thick smoke was coming out two miles away.

So he left a few people to guard this opening, and Gu Shu took the others and jumped onto the tree, and soon arrived at the place where the smoke was coming out.

This place turned out to be next to a small river leading to the canal outside Beijing. There was a broken rope on the river bank. It was obvious that the assassins fled in a hurry and did not even untie the rope, but cut it with a knife.

The clues end here.

After re-inspecting the courtyard and the house, Gu Shu left some people behind to throw the poison gas bombs that Shen Li gave to everyone for self-defense into the secret passage, and then blocked both sides. He was not afraid that the assassin would come back here again, as he would die if he got in.

Then the whole house was set on fire. The blazing flames reflected on everyone's faces, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

They knew that the assassin came to kill Miss Shen, but they didn't know whether he was targeting her because of her identity as the eldest prince's consort or because she was the only niece of the General of Cavalry.

......

Michigan.

It was just dawn and Shen Li and Xiao Chenze were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by the incessant barking of dogs outside.

The two of them sat up suddenly, all sleepiness gone.

Shen Li listened for a while, her eyes became very serious, and she said to Xiao Chenze, "Last night I asked the dogs to listen to the noise outside and notify me immediately if there is any situation. They are telling me something."

She listened again and said, "They said that the monkeys lured the secret guards away in the early morning, leaving only a few of the strongest ones to go to the lady and capture her."

Before he could finish his words, the wolf howled. Xiao Chenze jumped in front of the mist and took a closer look. "Come quickly."

Shen Li also jumped over.

Outside, a monkey stood in front of Wu Yongguang, pointing and gesturing.

Wu Yongguang hadn't taken off his clothes yet, as if he had been waiting for this moment. Without saying a word, he stood up and followed the monkey out.

Shen Li quickly activated the space and followed him to the study.

Just as I was wondering, I saw him close the study door from the inside, turn around and walk to the other wall, squat down and touch a brick in the corner.

Shen Li and Xiao Chenze widened their eyes at the same time.

Oh my god, there is a secret passage here, and it’s not the same one that has always been there.

It's just a study room, but he dug it up like this without alerting his wife and the secret guards. How many secrets did he hide?

Shen Li suddenly remembered a movie she had seen, The Shawshank Redemption.

I didn't expect that there are people with such perseverance here. It must have taken Wu Yongguang more than ten or twenty years to dig these secret passages?

I couldn't let my thoughts wander, so I followed Wu Yongguang's footsteps and entered the secret passage. There was no secret room here, only a long corridor, and I didn't know where it led to.

In the secret passage, Wu Yongguang held a candle and lit a candle every time he walked a distance. It seemed that he had lit several candles. Finally, he stopped.

In another inconspicuous corner, he squatted down, found the mechanism, opened it, and above his head, a piece of floor slowly moved. Wu Yongguang climbed up the stairs and quickly walked out.

That turned out to be the lady's bedroom.

Shen Li and Xiao Chenze looked at each other in surprise.

What was even more surprising was Mrs.

Her mouth had been blocked with a cloth by the monkey, and her face was scratched all over with blood oozing out. Some places had broken skin and were bright red.

Perhaps she was frightened by Wu Yongguang who emerged from the ground. Her eyes widened and her eyeballs almost popped out.

Fortunately, the lights in the room were always on when the lady slept, so she could see everything clearly.

The girl who was on night watch had been knocked unconscious on the ground and was lifted aside by the monkey. Even if there were secret guards outside, who would have thought that Wu Yongguang would crawl out from the basement of the lady's bedroom?

"Your death is near." Wu Yongguang went over and checked the rope that tied the monkey again. Seeing his wife struggling, he raised his hand and slapped her shoulder. A large pool of blood quickly seeped out of her clothes on her shoulder.

There was actually a cone-like object hidden in the palm of his hand. He would pierce deep into the flesh and then pull it out without mercy.

"Let's go, go and bury Rou'er." He put his hands behind his back, not even looking at the terrified lady, and waved to the monkey, "Follow me."

The monkey immediately stood up, grabbed the lady's hair fiercely, dragged her to the ground, and followed Wu Yongguang.

They walked down the secret passage.

In front of his wife, Wu Yongguang turned the mechanism to close the exit of the secret passage, then turned around and sneered at his wife.

His face was hidden in the shadow of the lamp, and his smile was eerie and terrifying. The lady shook her head vigorously, and tears came out.

"There's no point in crying. I don't know you." He continued walking forward, his voice very calm. "It has come to this. You won't survive no matter what."

Madame whined.

"Beat her up for me and see if she screams again."

The monkey received the order and stretched out its claws to scratch the lady's face.

A long whimper as if blocked by something...

It was the lady's howl of extreme pain, but her mouth was blocked, so the sound came out of her nose and was powerless.

Finally, they arrived at the middle of the secret passage, which was a slightly more spacious area, and Wu Yongguang stopped.

He brought the candle closer to her and grinned eerily at her, looking like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The lady's eyes rolled back and she seemed about to faint.

"Stop pretending. You've killed so many people. You even laughed while watching your men peeling people alive. Why are you pretending to be weak now?"

It was obvious that Wu Yongguang had no sympathy for her, and his tone was full of hatred and ridicule.

He squatted down and groped for something against the wall.

"This is a talent," Shen Li teased, "There's actually a secret passage here."

Sure enough, another secret passage appeared in front of him, and Wu Yongguang lowered his head and went in.

The monkeys escorted the lady inside.

The group walked not far, and Wu Yongguang lit the lights along the way. Finally, they reached the end and there was no road.

"There must be another secret room."

As soon as Xiao Chenze finished speaking, Wu Yongguang opened the door of the secret room.

There was a light on inside, as if someone lived there.
