Chapter 335 Secret Passage
Chapter 335 Secret Passage
Unfortunately, they were happy too early.
Before they could reach out their hands to take it with joy, their decisive superior Yan Xin stepped forward swiftly and snatched the porcelain vase away in the blink of an eye.
"Your medicines are precious. I'll keep them for them." Yan Xin had a blank expression on his face, and his tone was so cold that there was no room for negotiation, as if this was an unquestionable decision.
As a result, they suffered and lost face, and finally a potentially life-saving medicine was ruthlessly "kept" by their boss.
Why are they so unlucky today!
This series of experiences was like a continuous dark cloud hanging over their hearts, making them want to cry but unable to cry. Their hearts were filled with unspeakable helplessness and grievances, but they dared not complain at all.
But who is Yan Xin?
He was an experienced and sharp-eyed Purple-Robed Envoy, and he could see clearly the little thoughts and calculations of his subordinates.
So, he said directly in a stern voice: "Everyone, be on guard--"
"Yes." Upon hearing the stern order from the Purple-Robed Envoy, all the embroidered-robed law enforcement officers present became serious, their eyes instantly becoming focused and determined. The original trace of laxity in their bodies was instantly swept away, and they quickly entered a state of high alert.
Seeing this, Yan Xin's expression eased a little. "Team one will lead the way carefully, and team two must protect Princess Yi Xin and ensure her absolute safety. As for team three, you will spread out and be responsible for strict security in the surrounding area. You must not slack off or neglect anything."
"Sir Purple-Robed Envoy--" Team Three had just stumbled and was now determined to make meritorious service!
He didn't expect that the job he was waiting for was to be responsible for guarding. He was so dissatisfied that he couldn't help shouting out loud.
However, upon hearing this, the purple-robed envoy's expression instantly became even colder, and his gaze swept straight towards Team Three like a sharp blade: "If you cannot obey orders, immediately go to the front yard and let Team Four come to replace you."
The people in the three teams were all horrified when they heard this, thinking to themselves that something was wrong.
If they were transferred to the front yard, wouldn't their chances of washing away today's shame be even slimmer?
Thinking of this, they straightened their backs and shouted in unison: "Yes, subordinates obey orders."
Chu Ci just stood there and watched quietly, his lips tightly closed without saying a word, his eyes calm and focused, until Yan Xin arranged everything properly.
A team had already entered the courtyard carefully and cautiously. Yan Xin then turned around and walked to Chu Ci, bowed slightly, and made a respectful "please" gesture: "Princess Yi Xin, please come in!"
Chu Ci didn't hesitate and walked in.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he was instantly attracted by the unique flower fence in the yard. "Does this wall look familiar to you?" Chu Ci frowned slightly, staring at the flower wall, with a look of doubt that was difficult to conceal.
At the same time, turn on the search and scanning functions of "Xing'er" to the maximum.
Sure enough, after a careful investigation, they found in the corner of the wall the same type of secret door that the second prince had dug in the secret room in the eldest prince's mansion.
Therefore, while Zi Yi was still full of confusion and racking their brains to think about what on earth could be so familiar about a wall, Chu Ci had already raised his hand without hesitation and pointed to the corner of the wall, saying loudly: "Dig it up there."
Upon hearing this, all the embroidered-robed law enforcement officers, including the purple-robed envoys, became stern and instantly entered a state of high alert, ready for battle, as if ready to face unknown danger at any time.
The Purple-Robed Envoy seemed very satisfied with this, and waved his hand elegantly at the charging team, his posture showing his majesty.
The team did not hesitate at all and acted quickly according to their well-trained manner.
They worked in groups of three, cooperating extremely well, and began an extremely careful search in the place pointed out by Chu Ci.
Only after confirming again and again that there were no hidden weapons threats around did he hurriedly fetch a hoe and prepare to start digging.
About four or five minutes later, when everyone was holding their breath and the tense atmosphere was everywhere, Chu Ci heard an urgent shout: "Sir, is there something down there?"
When Chu Ci heard this, he instantly knew that they had found the entrance to the secret passage. Just as he was about to rush over to take a look, he was quickly stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed purple-robed envoy.
Then, the purple-robed envoy looked serious and solemnly ordered the team: "Put the detoxification pill in your mouth and continue digging."
"Yes." This team of law enforcement officers in embroidered uniforms became even more excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They gathered their energy and moved faster and more efficiently. In just two minutes, they successfully opened the entrance to the secret passage.
Then he stared at Chu Ci and the purple-robed envoy with burning eyes, his eyes full of anticipation and eagerness.
At this time, the embroidered uniform law enforcement officers of the third team could no longer hold back and immediately lost their temper and shouted anxiously: "Sir, can you let us go?"
Everyone in the three teams looked anxious, like ants on a hot pan, and their tone was filled with an irrepressible desire.
However, this time, before Yan Xin could refuse, Chu Ci said solemnly, "No, the Ji Yang Pills you just took can quickly eliminate the poison in your body, but the side effect is that your body will become extremely susceptible to moisture in the next period of time."
"And the dampness underground is thick and diffuse, like layers of fog, which may also be mixed with various unknown moisture and foul air. These damp and foul air are like hidden killers, difficult to detect but extremely harmful."
"If you go down now, once the dampness invades your body fiercely, it will not only greatly affect the efficacy of the pills, making it difficult for them to play their due role, but it may also cause unpredictable serious physical damage, or even endanger your life."
The people in Team 3, although unwilling, frowned and pursed their lips.
But after weighing the pros and cons in their minds, they can still clearly distinguish whether to achieve temporary achievements or lifetime achievements.
So, despite their helplessness, like eggplants hit by frost, they all retreated silently and said no more, but their eyes still revealed a little loss.
Seeing this, the purple-robed envoy frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said decisively: "Team one has consumed a lot of physical strength, team two will go to the secret passage."
Then, the purple-robed envoy quickly turned around, looked at Chu Ci with a sincere and earnest gaze, and said respectfully and solemnly: "Princess Yixin, I hope you can take the trouble to report the situation here in detail to the Crown Prince."
Chu Ci knew clearly that Yan Xin didn't want him to follow him.
Chu Ci had no interest in this. She didn't want to know the secrets in the secret passage, so she agreed. "Okay, then arrange for one person from Team 3 to go with me."
