Book 48 Chapter 11 – First Exploration’s Loss
Scratching his head, Kou Zhong said, “This does not make sense”
The cover of the exit was at the top of the stone steps above their heads, it was of the san as the entrance The proble point toward the i at the position, if they pushed the lid and came out, they would definitely be within the scope of the imperial city and not in the i i the western inner park, the area was equal to twelve East Markets combined The imperial city and the imperial palace each occupied half, divided by the public square cutting across from east to west in the middle The imperial city here the offices of civil and military officials were located, the i Palace [lateral courts housing concubines and administrative offices], Taiji Palace, and East Palace, three palace halls Taiji Palace, located in the middle, housed Li Yuan’s personal office and residence
Bu Cheng Lane was located west of the imperial city, separated with the iht to the east fro Lane, distant wise, the exit could only be around the southwest corner of the imperial city
Even if the three were able to enter the i, and stealthily crossed the vast public square, they still had to crash their way through either one of the three gates, the Guang Yun Gate, the Cheng Tian Gate, or the Chang Le Gate, leading into the Taiji Palace At this ainst shi+ Zhixuan, there was practically no possibility
Hou Xibai said, “Do you want to open the lid and peek outside? Maybe it is a hidden cha into the i said, “In tern, that does not et out fro, please examine the iron door, the rust should indicate that it has not been operated for a long ti nodded and said, “This is not only a false exit, it is also a trap The mechanism to open the lid looks identical to the entrance, but there’s a subtle difference Although I don’t know exactly hoorks, but I can guess that if we operate the er soreed, he said, “Now that does make sense Such a tunnel that leads to the imperial palace is very i naturally had to rack their brains to guarantee its security, hence the reason they set up this trap to let the enemy who discovers the tunnel fall into it”
The three began to examine the tunnel’s north wall, one fire stick burned out, they lighted another one, as they explored the entire length of the tunnel, but until the last fire stick was consuhed and said, “This tireat ht to the end of the line, and die of old age His Niang’s! An insignificant underground tunnel is unexpectedly ’s Treasure”

Xu Ziling ca about in the dark fro inside the Yin Mansion He said, “We still have the other side, the south wall to explore, but unfortunately we don’t have much time We must leave now, otherwise, after daybreak, it won’t be too convenient We’ll coht!”
Hou Xibai, as still standing under the stone steps of the exit, suddenly signaled the that there were soreatly astonished in their hearts According to reason, the s should be a forbidden area within the Yin Mansion, even daily cleaning should not be carried out before daybreak, so they shouldn’t be worried that soround tunnel First, because the exit could only be opened from the inside, unless the newco hands just now Secondly, this tunnel ought to be Li Yuan’s special ‘imperial road’, how could other people misuse it?
The two boys ca their power into their ears, they indeed heard the faint voices of a man and a woman, but because the stone lid was about half a chi thick, plus when closed it was as if the opening was sealed, even with three men’s power, they still could not hear clearly what the people upstairs were talking about
Xu Ziling’s senses were sharper than Kou Zhong’s, he spoke in low voice, “The man seems to be Yin Zuwen The wo”
His sense of hearing was increased substantially, not only he recognized Wen Caiting’s voice, he even heard the content of the two persons’ conversation, because Kou Zhong raised his pal his true qi continuously into Xu Ziling’s syste’s true qi In the world only these two could easily borrow and blend true qi from each other like water and milk solution, there was no other
The two boys climbed the steps one by one, the voices beca
He heard Yin Zuwen said, “This ently, further has not arrived, we plant the seed first and reap the fruits later”
Hearing that, Xu Ziling was baffled, thinking that he ue
Suddenly he heard the rustling noise of clothes, followed by Wen Caiting’s moan Unless it was an idiot, anybody would know that thesex
Perhaps Wen Caiting was exploiting her sex appeal, which had not waned or slackened, to accooal, or perhaps she was a loose wo Chi Shengchun, only Chi Shengchun re spoke while breathing hard, “How’sand Hou Xibai, ere looking at hi spoke softly, “They just finished having fun”
Wiping the sweat on his brows, Kou Zhong said, “Fortunately so, othere are going to die of suffocation here”
Yin Zuwen’s voice entered Xu Ziling’s sharp ears again, saying, “Caiting, you are indeed a wonder; twelve years ago you were enchanting, today, after twelve years you are still enchanting Those tender baby girls, after trying them twice they already became tasteless; how could they co mused that turned out those tere old close friends, it’s just that the Yin Mansion had sowhere the secret tunnel was hidden to have a tryst? Supposing Li Yuan was proo out on an inspection tour for the second tiht, wouldn’t he bump into them head-on?
“Where’s the entrance to the tunnel?” Wen Caiting asked
Xu Ziling was shocked; but then he remembered that the other side could not open the lid from the outside, so he was somewhat relieved
Yin Zuwen replied, “Just under the bed, but it can only be opened froned this round tunnel for Li Yuan, but I’ve never entered the tunnel”
tittering, Wen Caiting said, “Li Yuan trusts you very hed and said, “Li Yuan, this person is not difficult to deal with, theis to fit to his fancy At first he did not even think about using the underground tunnel to spend his ti and pleasure; it was ement, to enrich his life In his heart, I, Yin Zuwen a service”
Wen Caiting flattered hi ability, a could be considered within the top three Just look at how you presented your daughter and ’s pocket; our Yin Gui Pai can only see the other rider’s dust and have no hope of catching up [idiom: far inferior]”
Yin Zuwen said, “Just leave your strength in bed to curry favor with ’er, this houbei [younger generation] very much, I think she is the best choice to be Zhu Hou’s [empress] successor, she is better suited than Wan’er”
Wen Caiting sighed and said, “Pi Chen shi+bo, Bian shi+di and I will keep an eye on Qing’er The problem is that one day the ‘Tianmo Fa Jue’ [ultimate method] is in her hands, she is still the successor in a way that justifies the use of the term”
Yin Zuwen said, “If you could capture her alive, I will have a way to force her to hand the Fa Jue over This baby girl’s aptitude is unusually good, the proble of the times [idioe for her master Now our holy school’s dream finally has the opportunity to be realized, therefore, we must lay down hostility and have a united front, to let the most able person to co was silent for half a day; she spoke heavily, “Very well! As long as Qing’er can obtain the Fa Jue, and shi+ Zhixuan is willing to kill his daughter to show his determination, I can make decision on behalf of the other Yin Gui Pai elders, ill listen and obey shi+ Zhixuan’s co Oh, it’s alLake of the East Market, the two sat on a stone bench in a corner by the pond
Hu Xiaoxian blissfully said, “Why do you want to seereplied, “I finally find a way that Hu Xiaojie no longer need to be afraid of Chi Shengchun’s forced e”
Hu Xiaoxian’s pair of eyes, like lier coquettishly, she said, “Nujia finally understands why Xu Daxia wants to deal with Chi Shengchun!”
Xu Ziling understood that Ouyang Xiyi’s words to the ‘Great Iht have come into effect Hu Fo also passed on this inforood mood, because she knew that Hu Fo would definitely not let herto be muddleheaded, he said, “Xiaojie does not seem to take my method seriously, I wonder if you have found other solution yourself? Or perhaps you think that this matter has been resolved?”
Hu Xiaoxian spoke in astonish ability is really forure out so inally wanted to tease you All right! What’s the bad news?”
Inwardly, Xu Ziling adured out that he had a card up his sleeve S Yin Zuwen ask Li Yuan to act on Chi Shengchun’s behalf to propose e to your esteemed father, would Xiaojie knohat the consequences be?”
Hu Xiaoxian disdainfully said, “How could Li Yuan be willing to stick his head out for Chi Shengchun? Chi Shengchun practically does not have the qualifications to have Yin Zuwen raise thisspoke indifferently, “What if the thief stealing ‘Han Lin Qing Yuan Tu’ was not Cao San, but Li Yuan?”
Hu Xiaoxian’s flowery countenance lost its color, she blurted out, “You are joking!”
Xu Ziling was shocked inwardly, he never thought that Hu Xiaoxian’s reaction would be this intense He said, “Thisto deal with it?”
