The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

Chapter 158 Jade Seal

Song Zichen didn't know what Mu Qiu was looking for, but he didn't ask much, but followed him to a back garden.Seeing him fiddling with something under a rockery, a stone door opened in response to the sound, and the person who opened it almost took a step back: "What is this - why is there such a thing in the Prince's Mansion?"

"There are a lot of secret agencies in the Prince's Mansion, and this is already the most conspicuous one."

Looking at his astonished expression, Mu Qiu smiled a little more, explained in a warm voice, turned around and stretched out his hand to him: "Your Highness—do you dare to enter?"

"I didn't dare, but I didn't expect that such a place would have such an obvious secret passage..."

Song Zichen sighed with a complicated expression, stepped forward to hold his hand, and looked back at the garden: "This garden has also been repaired, has no one discovered it?"

"At the beginning, the third prince was in charge of repairing the prince's mansion. The third prince was already ambitious, so naturally he would not report what he found. As for this time, the third prince has been imprisoned. I don't know who is responsible for the project. It is difficult to infer directly."

Mu Qiu thought and shook his head, led him into the secret passage, handed him the torch to light, and wiped the relief at the door, and the door slowly closed: "Is it so obvious? Back then I came in to find the entrance to the secret passage, and it took me two full days..."

"No—it's actually quite hard to find, especially after closing the door, you can't even see it if you don't look carefully."

Song Zichen regretted it for a while, and quickly changed his words, making Mu Qiu unable to help but laugh: "Your Highness, it's better not to say it—after all, I have never been able to recognize the road clearly, and it is not easy to remember this road. After I go out, I will look for it with His Highness, and we can still find a few, which can be regarded as an extra escape route for us."

"No hurry, let's take our time, so that you won't be exhausted again."

The secret passage was built flat and unobstructed, and air holes were specially set up. Song Zichen carefully illuminated a section of the road with a torch, but found that there was really nothing to pay attention to. He couldn't help but wonder: "Mu Qiu, isn't there some secret passage here?" Offices and the like—can I just go in directly like this?”

"In theory, it should be there, but I'm not sure whether it was there from the beginning, or it was set up by the third prince later - I feel that it is more likely to be the latter. After all, the means of putting poison on the arrows, In fact, he is the only one obsessed with this..."

Mu Qiu was also paying attention to the surroundings, and answered a sentence in thought, turned a corner with him, and walked for a while, but it was still very safe and smooth. Going forward, there was another heavy stone door.

"How do I open this door?"

Song Zichen instinctively went up and looked around for the mechanism to open the door. He searched carefully, but couldn't find it no matter what.Just as he was about to be discouraged that he really wasn't this material, Mu Qiu touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "Only His Highness can open this door—His Highness first give me the torch..."

"just me?"

Song Zichen couldn't help being slightly surprised, and instinctively began to guess the legendary seal that could only be opened with blood, feeling a sense of mystery and apprehension spontaneously.After waiting intently for a moment, Mu Qiu just took a step back, nodded to him and said, "Okay, you can push."

"...Are you going to push it away?"

Song Zichen was almost dumbfounded, shook his head dumbfounded, went up and tried to push the door, but the door didn't move at all.After pushing twice with all my strength, I finally slowly moved a gap.

"I just want to push it away, but it's very heavy. I can't push it, so I can only rely on His Highness."

Mu Qiu nodded calmly, but what he said caused Song Zichen to almost fall to the ground, and couldn't help sighing heavily: "Mu Qiu, tell me the truth—if you can't push this door open, can you? Won't you come with me?"

Although their journey was very safe, Mu Qiu obviously didn't know if there was any mechanism inside at first.With that person's temperament, if there were no real difficulties, obviously he would not bring himself here.

Mu Qiu was already a little tired right now, leaning against the wall to stabilize his body, and chuckled helplessly: "Yes, I might as well bring General Meng, at least his strength should be more secure..."

"Who said I can't push it—you sit here first, and I'll be able to push it away sooner or later!"

Seeing that he was sweating again on his forehead, Song Zichen couldn't help but tighten his heart. He quickly helped him to the side and sat down carefully, and continued to toss the stone door with all his strength.With great difficulty, he pushed open enough to allow one person to pass by, took the torch out of breath, went in and explored around, and then led Mu Qiu in together: "Mu Qiu, how did you put it in the first place?" I opened it..."

Although Mu Qiu's martial arts are higher than him, strength has always been his weak point, and he doesn't know how that man opened such a stone door back then.Song Zichen supported his arm without any trace, so that Mu Qiu could walk more easily, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"At that time, I was anxious, so I forced some strength—after all, I went in alone, and it didn't take too much of a gap, and it was enough to barely fit in."

Mu Qiu didn't know what he was thinking, smiled helplessly, pulled him into a fork in the road, and raised his hand to push the last wooden door that was slightly hidden: "I didn't come in here to find this thing, but I didn't want to make a mistake. Wrong, I actually found it... I thought at that time, this thing might have been placed here before."

As soon as his words fell, Song Zichen saw the only thing in the empty room at a glance. He was startled in his heart, and subconsciously held his breath: "Is this——the rumored true dragon jade seal?!"

"At the beginning, Song Zixuan used this to rectify his name, saying that he had received the secret edict of the former emperor and held the real dragon jade seal to command the world. At that time, the emperor had not had time to leave a will, so this statement was somewhat credible, and the jade seal was also clear. It is in his hands. The common people believe it one after another, and the ministers in the court who believe it will naturally advocate it desperately, but those who don’t believe it are already powerless to refute it.”

Mu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly in response, stepped forward to pick up the jade seal, groped it carefully, and handed it to Song Zichen with confidence.The latter couldn't help laughing, and shook his head helplessly: "Mu Qiu, in your heart, as long as there is something related to Song Zixuan, it must be poisonous..."

"It's hard to say, it's always right to be more careful."

Mu Qiu couldn't help being slightly embarrassed, and replied with a light cough, looked around the secret room again, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he led him out: "I came in at that time, and the time I was looking for was urgent. I couldn’t find the thing, so I just saw this, but it’s no longer useful. Your Highness, take this thing out, give it to the emperor, or keep it in your own hands, or let it fall into the hands of the third prince. That's it."

"Okay, let's go out first, and then discuss what to do with him."

Song Zichen nodded, and was about to follow him out when he suddenly kicked something.Subconsciously looking, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he leaned over to pick up the black jade that was almost mixed with the shadow: "Mu Qiu—Song Zixuan may have already come..."

"It's possible, and it makes sense in that case."

Mu Qiu was not surprised at all, she leaned over to look at the jade pendant in his hand, nodded lightly, took the torch and walked over on the way: "It's not so easy to find here, the third prince must know some secrets , I specifically asked for an errand to repair the Prince’s Mansion. Although this time I was locked up for some reason, I will definitely find a way to ask my subordinates to take this errand, so that he has a chance to sneak in—I’m still wondering When did I know it, now it seems that it may be earlier than I thought."

"But—since he found this thing, why is it still here? Isn't he afraid that we will take it away?"

"The emperor made His Highness the crown prince as soon as he slapped his head. How could he react immediately."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, replied in a gentle voice, and shook his head lightly: "Compared with the mansion, this place is obviously much safer. The third prince has always been meticulous in his affairs, and he will not take it easily if he does not plan well." It was taken away. But I didn’t expect the emperor to seal His Highness as the crown prince, and even if he wanted to make an emergency dispatch, he might not be able to make it in time.”

"Did you expect this, so you rushed to bring me to find it?"

Only then did Song Zichen understand his intentions, couldn't help sighing, and shook his head sincerely: "Mu Qiu, I sometimes think - if you didn't come back with me, even if I do it again, I might not be able to What did you do..."

"Not necessarily, His Highness is actually not lacking in strength, it's just that in the previous life, he was too—too stupid, and he was too devoted to the third prince, so he knows a lot less than me, an outsider."

Mu Qiu smiled and shook his head, and spoke patiently and slowly.Song Zichen couldn't help but look bitter, and sighed dumbfoundedly: "Mu Qiu, you still thought about it before you called me stupid-then you were trying to hurt the words before..."

Being punctured by him like this, Mu Qiu couldn't help coughing lightly, touched his nose subconsciously, shook his head with a smile and refused to speak.Seeing that he had guessed right, Song Zichen felt even more helpless, shook his head with a smile, and sighed heavily: "Forget it, since I'm allowed to be stupid, why don't you allow me to hurt me—I deserve it in the first place." ..."

"Your Highness has made great progress, so don't be too discouraged—as long as you don't follow the old path, I can still trust His Highness with the ability to protect himself."

Mu Qiu added in a warm voice, and after leaving the secret room with him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat beside the rock: "It's okay——I was still thinking along the way, if the third prince happened to come to pick me up Yuxi, was blocked by our people, how difficult it is to meet..."
