    Wu Pingting looked around silently, and said in a deep voice, "Hundred family names."

    Ah You took a serious look and murmured, "The surname is the surname, but the order of the lettering doesn't seem to follow..."

    "So," I read the words on the stone wall up, down, down, left, right, and right, "it's the surnames of hundreds of families who are out of order."

    Ayou nodded slightly, and then he vigilantly looked at the passage when he was coming. After confirming that there was no one coming, Fang asked, "I wonder why King Rui built such a wall?"

    I was about to open my mouth, but I saw Wu Pingting frowning, as if curiously covering the bluestone stake beside her, I was stunned, "Don't—"

    Before I could stop it, the stone stake had already been pushed, and I lowered my head vigilantly. Fortunately, there was no movement on the stone floor. Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I heard a "whoosh" sound and an arrow dropped the torch in my hand. Immediately on the ground, several crossbow arrows shot out from the fèng gaps in the rocks on both sides, like a gust of wind, hitting the key point!

    Ah You made a quick decision and pulled out the blade from his waist to stop it in front of me. For a while, I could only hear the sound of blade iron clanging continuously. I saw those arrows go to my head and chest, and asked Xing to squat down. Turning her head to look at Wu Pingting on the other side, she saw that she had one hand on her back, and her right hand was holding a dagger in a changing posture to pick up random arrows.

    When no more hidden weapons were released, silence returned to the secret passage, Ah You hurriedly turned around, "Is the princess hurt?"

    "It doesn't matter." I stood up slowly, looking at the scattered arrows on the ground, "This mechanism is embedded in the naturally weathered stone fèng, it is really natural."

    The frightened expression on Wu Pingting's face has not yet faded away, "I, I didn't expect that there would be a hidden weapon here, and it almost hurt your Highness, it's really..."

    "I expected this place to be very heavy." I bent down to pick up the torch, but luckily the flame was still alive. "It seems that in order to open the stone gate, you have to press the stone stakes in the correct order."

    Ayouqi said, "Order?"

    "The bluestone stake that Miss Wu just moved is the word 'Zhao', but the hidden weapon still attacks us, which shows that the order of these hundred family names is not the 'Zhao Qian Sun Li Zhou Wu Zheng Wang' that we are familiar with," I sighed. "In the past, I heard that there was a very boring emperor in the previous dynasty who ordered someone to rewrite the Baijiaxing and Sanzijing on a whim. After a few days, he realized the absurdity of his behavior and stopped in time, so the revision did not circulate. Going out, it is possible that King Narui set up such an institution because of this, and only the descendants of the previous royal family could open this huge door."

    Wu Pingting frowned, "Does the princess know how the previous dynasty was recited?"

    I glanced at her like an idiot, and said, "This palace is the royal family of the current dynasty, not the descendant of the previous dynasty."

    She said, "Since that's the case, how do you open this door?"

    I tilted my head to look at her, "Why open it?"

    Wu Pingting blinked her pair of autumn trees, and said in surprise, "When you get here, don't you give up if you don't try?"

    I raised my eyebrows and asked back, "Isn't the purpose of our trip to catch him by taking the bait?"

    Wu Pingting was stunned for a moment, then said: "Feng Li is dangerous and cunning, and the girl is just worried that if he doesn't really enter the secret place, he may not be willing to show up."

    I smiled, "Miss Wu is joking, and Feng Li has never entered here, how would he know that there is a Shimen in the secret passage? Since he doesn't know anything, seeing us enter the tomb of clothes, he will immediately think about it. Fazi sneaked in... If he really didn't show up because we didn't open the stone gate, there's only one possibility..."

    I said slowly and slowly: "He knew early on that there was a stone gate under this secret passage. At this moment, he was waiting for us to open the door, and then he reappeared and drove straight in..."

    Wu Pingting's brows furrowed even deeper, "I have never disclosed this secret to anyone, how would he know?"

    I nodded noncommittally, and she added: "It's just that we have leaked the secret place today, if Feng Li really doesn't show up, we will return without success, and he will come back to explore in the future, won't it be great for the princess? unfavorable?"

    "There will be no future." I said slowly: "If I fail to return today, this palace will order people to blow this mountain to ashes."

    Wu Pingting's expression changed, "This, how does this make it happen?"

    I stared at her and said of course: "There is no better way than eradicating all the things that may become hidden dangers in this dynasty."

    Wu Pingting took a step forward and said, "This, this is the last way to lure Fengli out, if the princess lets the secret place disappear from the world, where will I, I find him to avenge my father and brother?! "

    I looked at her quietly, watching the flash of anomaly in her eyes, and after a while, I finally said, "That's it."

    I handed the torch in my hand to Ah You, took out the gold-trimmed folding fan around my waist, and unfolded it. The inscription on the fan reads "Only know that there is no same game, black and white take turns. The sun and the moon are new." I put the fan in front of Wu Pingting, He smiled slightly and said, "The panorama of the meticulous brushwork of this hang fan was painted by Gu Xizhi, a famous painter of the previous dynasty, and it was not available in the market."

    The light of the fire made Wu Pingting's pretty face flicker, "Princess what does this mean?"

    "This folding fan is a welcome gift I prepared for Feng Li," I paused, put the folding fan in her palm, and said with a smile, "A little gift, and I'll ask Miss Wu to do it for me."

    Wu Pingting stood there for a while, looking at me in confusion, "What is the princess talking about? Do you suspect that I am an accomplice of that thief..."

    "Naturally not an accomplice," I interrupted her, "Ben Gong means that from the beginning, you were the one who led Feng Li to lead us here."

    "Lu Yin?" Wu Pingting seemed to have heard the most absurd thing in the world, "The people's daughter is playing the piano and composing music in Yaoyuelou all day long, and it is clearly the princess who came to the house to ask me the truth, and asked me the truth about the case of the escort's annihilation. , ask me to bring your Highness to this place to attract Feng Li..."

    I almost met her eyes, "I wonder if the girl still remembers, what was the first truth you confessed?"

    Wu Pingting was startled.

    I recalled: "You said, 'My father, my elder brother, and my fellow disciples were all killed by him', right or not?"

    Wu Pingting said, "That's right, the guards were all slaughtered by Feng Li, what doubts does the princess have about this?"

    I lightly hooked my lips, but didn't answer her, "Then you said, Feng Li approached you and took advantage of your father's relationship with Jun Jinzhi in order to reveal the shocking secret hidden in Jun Jinzhi, that is, Where we are standing right now, isn't it?"

    "Why should the princess ask the question knowingly?"

    "Later, just after your father let go of Jun Jin, Feng Li suddenly appeared and sent troops to pursue him. After your father returned to Beijing, Feng Li asked your father's secret place for the sake of bī, and killed everyone in the security bureau in front of you. Is it or isn't it?"

    Wu Pingting sneered, "Could it be that the princess still suspects that I and Feng Li killed my family?"

    I said meaningfully: "Miss Wu naturally would not do such a depraved thing. It's just that when I listened to your statement, I had some questions that I couldn't figure out no matter what... For example, Feng Li... How could you be so stupid... Woolen cloth?"

    Wu Pingting was startled.

    As I paced, I said, "If I were Feng Li, since I know your father and Jun Jinzhi are together, I should stand on your father's side and slowly deal with it, so that I can better ask the secret, isn't it? As a means of coercion, go and ask a Jianghu person who values ​​justice and righteousness, ah, how could such a stupid act of stealing come from Feng Li?"

    Seeing Wu Pingting's intention to open his mouth, I raised my hand again and said, "Also, you said that your father told you the secret before he died in order to save your life, hey, that's even more strange. Since The old man knows the secret place himself, so why not lie to Fengli and lie to Fengli first? This mountain is not the only place in the capital where there are mass graves. Even if Fengli knows it in the future, he will live a little longer. Hope, why do you need to keep the secret in such a tragic way as the entire escort's life?

    Wu Pingting listened to me, but did not rush to defend herself, "If this is what the princess said when she first met Yaoyuelou, she decided that what I said was false, why didn't I say it at the time, and why did you invite me tonight? this?"

    I smiled lightly, still didn't answer her question, just said: "Do you know that today, I ordered my shadow guard Ayou, oh, that is, where is the place in front of you?"

    Wu Pingting pursed her lips and glanced at the expressionless Ah You.

    I reminded: "It's a cemetery, of course not our place. There are several people lying in that grave, including the chief escort of Shangwei Escort, the master, and the son of the escort... Hey, don't you think it's strange? In the early years, they were all worshiped, and the old incense burner is still alive. Today is their death day, but there are many rough places in front of the tombs, eh, Ayou, you said, how long has the rough growth been cleaned up? ?"

    Ah You: "About a year."

    I raised my eyebrows and said to Wu Pingting, "I don't think you would tell me that, for revenge, you forgot about worshipping your parents and brothers, right?"

    When she heard that her face had changed, I suppressed my smile and said in a low voice, "The real Wu Pingting is dead, and you are fake, Feng Li."

    She looked at me coldly, as if looking at a lunatic: "If I was Feng Li, why would I make up a story about Feng Li destroying the escort bureau for you?"

    I squinted: "Who said it was fabricated? The Shangwei Escort was destroyed by Feng Li. I have no doubts about this."

    She said coldly: "Oh, the princess might as well talk about it, what did you think the truth was back then?"

    I shrugged, "At first, I just didn't understand, if Fengli really killed Miss Wu in front of her, and she was full of resentment, how could she find her enemies every year on the grounds of antagonism? To an idiot woman? In other words, this behavior is not like seeking revenge, but more like waiting for his sweetheart with a strong sense of admiration."

    "Wu Pingting" smiled contemptuously, "Is that so?"

    I shook my head and said earnestly, "It might be right that a dozen people in the security guard died under Feng Li's yīn conspiracy, but it doesn't appear that they were all killed in front of Miss Wu. Besides, if she really knew the secret place It's impossible that you haven't had the thought of finding out for so many years. If you look at it, you might see Feng Li, but if you don't go, there's no news at all." I paced around again, "So she started from the very beginning. , he didn't know the so-called secret place. The only person who knew the secret place was his father. Feng Li was a smart person, so he would naturally approach her father in a smart way, and finally gained her father's trust and discovered the secret. the place."

    The eyes of this "Wu Pingting" in front of her were slightly closed, and her voice was extremely low: "Since he has already asked what he wants to ask, why does he want to kill the whole door of the escort bureau?"

    "In order to swallow this secret, it is inevitable that the old guard finds Jun Jin's son, and Feng Li will kill him. As for why he killed the family... Mostly it was discovered by others when he killed the old guard Wu, which attracted the whole guard.People, although making a big noise may not be beneficial to you, there is nothing you can do, you can only kill people." I sighed leisurely, "I think Wu Pingting was not at home at the time, so she didn't know the real murderer who killed her whole family.Who is it, on the contrary, Feng Li should appear as a guardian when he turns his head, taking care of her and comforting her, so that it will not arouse suspicion."

    Wu Pingting in front of her couldn't even smirk, "The princess said so detailedly, it's like she saw it with her own eyes."

    I scratched my head apologetically, "Bengong's association power has always been richer, this... I don't know what to call it, don't take it off."
