MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 56 Violate

The secret letter in his hand was crumpled, and Li Zifu's face was very serious.

"What do you mean by missing?" Bai Qingyang asked.

Didn't Xie Zhi follow Prince Yu? What happened?

Li Zichou closed his eyes, and then looked at the letter sent by the messenger of the imperial army: "I sent someone to secretly monitor Prince Yu's whereabouts, and the imperial army sent a letter saying that the last time I saw her was by the bridge in the eastern suburbs."

"Your Majesty is worried about Prince Yu's outrageous behavior?"

Li Zichou shook his head, didn't say anything, just turned around and walked to the bronze candle tree, put the secret letter on the candle, and the tongue of fire licked the thin paper in an instant, turning it into ashes.

People who didn't know thought that the Empress was worried about Prince Yu's rebellion, but only Li Zichou knew how much she worried about Yang Dejin's safety.

Yang Dejin followed Xie Zhi to investigate the case. Because she was worried, she sent the forbidden army to protect secretly, but in the end she lost him, so why don't you worry.

Li Zichou was silent, Bai Qingyang was naturally misled by her attitude, she thought that Li Zichou was really worried because Prince Yu escaped her surveillance. He also thought that Li Zichou would not be in power soon, so he should really guard against the hidden danger of Prince Yu.

"Your Majesty, you are very tired, go wash up first." Bai Qingyang changed the subject, "How about making plans about Prince Yu after returning to the palace?"

Li Zichou: "In two days, the Uyghur mission will arrive in Linjing. Nothing can happen to Dasheng now."

Bai Qingyang: "The concubine will share the burden for His Majesty, don't think too much about it."

"Okay, thank you, Empress." Li Zichou nodded before going to the cubicle to take a shower.

But Bai Qingyang thought for a while, and wrote a letter for someone to deliver. She had to ask Xie Zhi what happened.

//

The royal mausoleum on the outskirts of the city.

"I'll go, why would anyone dare to dig illegal buildings under the emperor's tomb?" Yang Dejin followed behind the crowd, complaining in a very low voice.

"I don't know. This is the first time I've heard that there is a secret passage under the imperial tomb." Pei Yu replied, "Mr. Lang, follow me closely, and don't run around."

"Hey, I got it, I got it." Yang Dejin waved his hands and replied perfunctorily.

Although Yang Dejin promised well, Pei Yu still didn't dare to relax his vigilance. While following the team, he kept paying attention to her from the corner of his eye.

Pei Yu always felt that Prince Yu was different from the rumors, not a reassuring master. If he loses Yang Dejin, the evil **** of the Ministry of Punishment will definitely chop him up!

Thinking of this, Pei Yu shuddered a little, rubbed his arms, and tugged on the cloak by the way.

Not long ago, after Xie Zhi went after the mysterious hooded man, He Cong left the yard, and Yang Dejin and Pei Yu naturally followed.

He Cong didn't go home, but went out of the city directly. He stopped by the bridge for a long time, as if he was waiting for someone.

It was here that the hidden guards of the Prince's Mansion, the empress' imperial guards, and Xie Zhi's subordinates lost Yang Dejin and Pei Yu.

The bridge connects the traffic of vehicles and horses on both sides of the river, and the daily circulation is at least tens of thousands. In addition, these three forces seem to be afraid of each other, and no one can get too close to the target. They are restrained by each other, and Yang Dejin and Yang Dejin disappeared into the crowd.

Now it's hard to deal with any side, and the three forces have quickly sent more people, basically digging three feet to find them.

"Hey, Mr. Lang, why did you deliberately get rid of those people following behind?"

Yang Dejin replied: "There are too many tails behind us, and we can't get in without getting rid of them."

They were both secret guards and imperial guards. The larger the number, the easier it was to be exposed. It was with great difficulty that they chased He Cong here.

"Then you don't have to get rid of all your own subordinates, how dangerous is it?"

"Isn't there you? And Xie Zhi is so smart, he will definitely be able to catch up." Yang Dejin said confidently.

Pei Yu was noncommittal: "This has nothing to do with Xie Shilang..." If Xie Zhi knew what you were doing, it would be very difficult for me.

They were walking under the ground of Li Shenghuang's Mausoleum. The terrain inside was intricate, and there was only a corridor for two people to walk at the same time, crushing the huge team of believers into a long queue.

There are lampstands inlaid on the walls of the corridor at intervals, and the leader of the Dacheng sect holds torches and lights them one by one, which can illuminate the way forward.

Yang Dejin heard that the craftsmen and technicians who used to build the imperial mausoleum were often ordered to be buried with the emperor. In this case, some craftsmen who are more life-saving will secretly tamper with the building when they are working, so as to be able to escape from the imperial tomb.

However, a corridor of this scale does not seem to be dug out by a certain worker privately, but more like it was dug out in a large-scale and organized manner. There may be a larger space hidden under the imperial tomb.

— This is Pei Yu's conjecture.

Who would have thought that there would be unregistered corridors under the imperial mausoleum, and even if you searched the records of the Ministry of Industry left over from the previous generation, you might not be able to find relevant records. Is this not an illegal building? !

So here comes the question, this tunnel hidden in the underground of the imperial mausoleum is little known even in the imperial court, how did the Dacheng Sect know about it?

The Dacheng Sect couldn't wait to gather again, and still chose such an important place, there must be something big happening.

Yang Dejin had a hunch that all the mysteries would be solved today, if it really did as she expected, it would not be in vain for her and Xie Zhi to spend so much effort.

"Everyone, we are just ahead!" The cardinal who took the lead suddenly said loudly.

Yang Dejin and Pei Yu stopped communicating in low voices, and looked around secretly while following the team.

The cardinal seemed to be familiar with this place, he was the first to go out of the corridor, holding a torch to light the lampstands on both sides of the exit. For some unknown reason, the flame went along the entire wall, lighting up the next candle in two directions to the left and right, and finally illuminated the entire ring-shaped underground palace.

Standing on a high place and looking down, it was the first time they saw the whole picture of the underground palace. Many people let out a low gasp in amazement, and Yang Dejin and Pei Yu were no exception.

The underground space is very empty. Here, the human voice can be amplified to more than several times. After the sound waves collide with the circular stone wall, ethereal echoes are formed.

At the bottom, a circular platform made of whole stones is located in the center of the underground palace. It is at least three or four meters high. The stone steps go up layer by layer, all the way to the entrances of the various passageways on the high place - the passageway that Yang Dejin and the others came in is only one of them.

The dome is painted with strange and retro pictures with colorful glazes, and it has been dusty underground for so long, and its uncanny workmanship has not diminished in the slightest.

The lights on the wall seemed to be still, only sporadic sparks would be emitted when the impurities in the fuel were consumed.

There is such a large underground palace under the imperial mausoleum, which is a bit similar to the Dionysus Theater on the Acropolis, or to put it bluntly, like a modern circular lecture hall.

There are actually buildings of this style in Dasheng.

Yang Dejin glanced at the huge round platform below again, and thought of the Tokyo Budokan, Japan, that indoor athletics facility that would be a high-tech venue for all competitions and concerts.

However, when she thought of coming here with a group of magic sticks at this moment, with Li Zifu's ancestors still lying on her head, Yang Dejin wilted away in an instant.

She always felt that she didn't even have a handy weapon in her hand, and she felt too insecure, why should she bring a Luoyang shovel or a diamond umbrella?

The cardinal led the people behind down the stairs. At the same time, two teams in white robes poured out from the other two corridors, and the leaders were also two masked cardinals.

There are other believers? Did Dacheng Sect divide the believers into several teams?

Yang Dejin and Pei Yu looked at each other, and there were many more people than they had imagined.

The three teams converged, and the believers surrounded the open space under the platform in a fan shape. There were many people, but not crowded.

"Everyone, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

In the originally not quiet space, a deep voice suddenly sounded, causing people to stop talking in a low voice unconsciously. They looked at the mysterious person who suddenly appeared on a high place, their eyes full of worship and piety.

The visitor was wearing an exaggerated and heavy black robe, with gold trim rolling on the hood and sleeves, and thin golden chains hanging from the front of the coat.

His face is also covered with a white mask, but unlike other congregants, there are no holes on his mask, only a pattern like a dead tree is drawn in the center of the mask.

Not to mention the facial features, even a pore is not exposed, Yang Dejin really doubts whether he can see the road.

When the three cardinals saw him approaching, they quickly went up to him respectfully.

"See Your Excellency the Pope."

Hearing the three cardinals taking the lead in shouting, the believers knelt down and bowed to the man in black as if they had rehearsed: "We see the Pope—"

Yang Dejin was always going to be slow, and it was Pei Yu who pulled her, so she quickly bowed her head and bowed down.

Yang Dejin heard that the Pope was a young man, and seeing that he was well dressed, he didn't know if it was true. The voice was very low and kind, and it really had a sense of mystery from the upper echelons of the church.

The Pope was greeted by the three cardinals and their retinues on the high platform, and stood still like the stars holding the moon, before he spoke:

"I would like to represent my Lord to be worshiped by His people, please stand up."

People shouted loudly: "Thank you my lord, thank you Pope." After speaking, they all stood up.

It's like an evil scene.

No, it was.

I don't know if it was because Yang Dejin lost his mind. When he stood up, he accidentally stepped on the long cloak. If he lost his balance, he would fall back to the ground again.

Pei Yu was also taken aback for a moment, unable to react in time to pull her.

Seeing that the nose and mouth were about to kiss the mother earth, the body stopped leaning forward when it was less than ten centimeters from the ground, and a strong hand firmly grasped the collar of Yang Dejin's cloak, like Lift her up like a cat by the back of the neck.

Yang Dejin breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the brim of his hat and was about to thank him, but when he looked up, he saw a burly man with a hideous face, staring at her, which reminded her instantly of when she was a child in a small ancestral hall in the countryside, and was caught by the angry King Kong Like the fear of domination.

At this moment, Yang Dejin's adrenaline was soaring, her sense of fear reached its peak, and she was about to cry when her mouth shrunk.

Before she could cry out, the man covered her mouth unceremoniously, exactly the same as when he was looking through Xie Zhi's backyard.

"Tsk, it's been so useless for so long."

Yang Dejin: "..."

Pei Yu was in a vigilant posture, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?!"

Kuai Gang looked at his hand grabbing his arm, and thought that this was a practitioner. Just about to speak, Yang Dejin patted the back of his hand.

Kuai just let go of his hand.

"Pei Shaoqing let go too, this is an acquaintance." Yang Dejin said with a sigh.

Pei Yu hesitated to let go, and asked suspiciously, "Acquaintance?"

Did you see an acquaintance or a ghost? What kind of acquaintance will cry out when they see it? !

Yang Dejin also seemed to feel that she had overreacted, and wiped away her tears in embarrassment.

That can't be helped! This reckless man looks really scary!

The people around were all attracted by the Pope's speech. Yang Dejin briefly introduced the two of them, then turned around and asked, "Why did Brother Kuai appear here? Could it be that you are also a believer?"

Kuai Gang didn't answer immediately, but looked at Yang Dejin and Pei Yu next to her.

Yang Dejin instantly understood what he was hesitating about, and said frankly: "Smart people don't speak secretly, neither of us."

Kuai Gang is a man of the world, with a straight-forward personality. After hearing what Yang Dejin said, he nodded and replied: "A **** under his hand stole the gang's public funds and gave it all to Dachengjiao. Kuai is here to inquire about this The hypocrisy of the church are not believers."

The author has something to say:

Yang Dejin: I don't even have a handy weapon, so I have to give Luoyang shovel and diamond umbrella to me, right?

Li Zichou: Are you a weapon or a tomb-robbing tool at your fingertips? ?

ハイテンション: that is, hightension, high enthusiasm.
