Chapter 149: his concealment
Chapter 149 His Concealment
Although there were cracks on the wooden box, after Li Yi took it, he still felt the weight of the wooden box.
What is even more astonishing is that the wooden box is not locked, and it seems that anyone can open it.
Li Yi rubbed his fingers lightly on the wooden box for a long time, and finally... couldn't resist opening it.
It's just that there is no treasure in the wooden box, but a copper round key lying there.
"This..." Li Yi frowned tightly and looked at Yu Xing.
Yu Xing also shook his head in doubt.
The reckless guard just now also came over at this time, looked at the key, then looked at the round pit, and then said cautiously:
"Your Highness...Your Majesty remember...the round pit...seems to have a keyhole that matches this kind of key."
Although the group of people just said that the prisoner Menghua lost his mind and ran down the round pit, and didn't remember how he ran down, but they still kept the memory of what they saw in the pit.
Li Yi turned his head to look at the round pit suspiciously, and asked, "Such a big pit...you still remember it just now in a panic?"
The guard grinned honestly and smiled:
"This subordinate's memory is actually quite good... and this subordinate stumbled when he came up, and he happened to see one. It's just that the keyhole... seems to be more than one. During the process of coming up, this subordinate also saw Arrived somewhere..."
"More than one place?!" Li Yi frowned.
After thinking for a while, although everything is unknown, Li Yi still ordered the guard to go down with the key.
Although there is some reluctance, after being enslaved for a long time, there is no particularly strong sense of resistance in the heart.
However, when he took the key and intuitively found a keyhole, fear finally began to eat him slowly.
The corpse next to him was his former brother, and the strong smell of blood made him want to retch.
Thinking about his wife at home, he gritted his teeth, as if he had exhausted all his strength to push the key into the keyhole.
However, when he closed his eyes and waited for the unknown result, the surroundings were extremely quiet.
Seeing this, Li Yi was about to go down.
The result was a strange noise...
The guard...
Suddenly cut off in the middle by something... ended up decapitated...
Li Yi just stood there in a daze, the atmosphere was weird and silent.
…
Recalling what he had experienced, Li Yi's face turned pale again unknowingly.
Just when he was about to selectively tell Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan about the agency here, the square pillar at the other place suddenly started to sink with a click.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all backed away.
Until the square pillar was lowered to be level with the other place, and two more people jumped down from that pillar.
These two people... are Gan Gu and Shan Er who separated from Ruan Youqing and the others in the pool.
Fan'er originally had a cold expression on her face, but when she saw her young lady standing with Gu Changan safe and sound, she suddenly curled her mouth, like a wronged little daughter-in-law and ran straight into Ruan Youqing's embrace.
"Miss! I'm going to worry about you to death! I thought... I thought..." Fan'er hugged Ruan Youqing's arm, her little face was already crying.
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing stroked her hair tenderly, and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry, Master Gu is here."
Fan'er, who was appeased, gradually calmed down, and naturally saw Prince Li Yi beside him. After roughly understanding the current situation, Fan'er continued to sob a few times, then turned around and bowed to Gu Chang'an:
"My servant, I would like to thank Mr. Gu for taking care of my young lady. In the future, if Mr. Gu has any orders, this servant will definitely do her best."
Gu Changan hooked the corners of his lips, and replied slowly: "You don't have to be so polite, you are not an outsider to me."
Ruan Youqing seemed a little shy, pursed his lips and lowered his head.
The current Li Yi should not know that she knows kung fu. Even though his staff has been staying in Jingbian, Xinxiu probably won't tell her about her like a gossip woman.
So, now she has to restrain herself again to save trouble.
But Li Yi didn't think much about it. At this moment, he was a little jealous because of the affectionate eyes of the couple in front of him.
Originally...
Miss Ruan should belong to him!
But thinking of everything that happened just now, Li Yi still suppressed the sudden jealousy in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible:
"Everyone... now is not a good time to share our grievances. The most urgent thing now is how to get out of here. Because we have arrived here first, we have a general understanding of this place. Why don't you tell me about the situation here? ?”
Gu Changan was looking at Ruan Youqing with a smile in his eyes. He raised his head slowly after hearing Li Yi's voice, and said in a lazy tone, "Then please tell us something, Your Highness."
Li Yi suppressed his anger, smiled and continued:
"We got a key from the coffin, and we also knew that the keyhole matching the key was in the round pit...but...there was not one keyhole. We went down and checked, and found that there were three identical locks underneath. Now we have ruled out one... and there are two left. So... I wonder if Gu Shoufu can see which one is the real keyhole."
After hearing this, Gu Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then... Gu is very curious about how His Highness eliminated the wrong keyhole. You might as well continue to eliminate it."
Gu Changan's words reminded Li Yi of the fear he had just had.
After the guard who was suddenly cut in half died, another guard also died in the process of searching for the keyhole.
Though the three keyholes have ruled out one. But the horror scene just happened is still vivid in my mind.
Even, he wanted to use his spare time to find the correct keyhole.
If it's right, that's fine.
If it's wrong...it's not him who died.
As a result... He seemed to be loved by the heavens, and sent four more people over.
As long as he can coax them to open the keyhole, then he can reap the benefits of the fisherman!
Thinking of this, Li Yi pointed to the round pit with a serious face: "This round pit is full of traps, and all the subordinates brought by the crown prince were killed here. If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince's aides and aides would not be there If you are able to escape with the prince, I am afraid that the prince will die here too."
In these few sentences, Li Yi was telling the truth.
His men all died in this pit.
Just…
"After the prince obtained the key from the coffin, he knew that there must be a keyhole here. Therefore, he took the rest of the line and carefully searched for it. As expected, the prince found three identical keyholes in this pit. .”
This time, Li Yi's words were mixed with truth and falsehood.
The remaining two keyholes were actually found by Yu Xing and another guard.
Li Yi stabilized his mind and continued: "After that, the crown prince and Yu Xing tried a place, and when they found that there was no movement, they became discouraged and felt lifeless. This round hole is so big that both of us I am exhausted and have no energy to continue. However, your appearance has given us hope for life! Sir Gu, to be honest, this pit is full of dangers, and there are indeed certain dangers. However, the prince believes that with the help of Sir Gu Skill, you will definitely find the right one from it!"
At this time, Yu Xing also said with a dignified expression: "Master Gu, because I accidentally injured my leg by the mechanism in the pit, I can no longer go down with Master Gu. However, I can tell you where the remaining two keyholes are. , Mr. Gu only needs to avoid the trap on the way, and then he can try the keyhole."
Yu Xing was injured precisely because he was looking for the keyhole, and what he said was realistic.
Moreover, he has indeed found out the rules of the mechanism in the pit.
It was just the murderous intent of the keyhole, but he concealed it like Li Yi.
