The young eunuch had already told Zhao Chuanxin the layout of the Russian Legation. The passage was in the basement of the southeast part of the tower.

He made it all the way to the basement unobstructed, and used the elf carving knife to open the door lock. Sure enough, the basement was connected to the secret passage without any cover.

When the Russian legation was built, it happened to be the period when the Japanese killed Empress Mingcheng.

At that time, Li Xi and the princes took refuge in the Russian legation.

This secret passage was probably built later, which shows that Li Xi had long been worried that the Japanese would persecute him.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up at the layout of the basement and wondered where the wires could be routed. After he had a rough idea, he got into the passage.

Behind Jingguanxuan, Li Xi has opened the door to the passage and is waiting anxiously.

"It's so late, why hasn't he come yet?"

The little eunuch said: "It will take some time for him to sneak into the Russian legation."

"He sneaked into Qingyun Palace very easily at that time." Li Xi was originally a very calm person, but after being pressed hard by the Japanese over and over again, he became impatient.

Just as he was talking, footsteps came from the door.

Suddenly, a stone was thrown out of the dark passage.

Li Xi and the little eunuch were both shocked.

After a while, Zhao Chuanxin walked out.

When Li Xi saw Zhao Chuanxin, his eyes turned red: "What are you doing throwing stones?"

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "This is called throwing stones to ask for directions, you don't understand."

"..." Li Xi accused him with all his face: "You took the money, why have you been reluctant to do anything? You actually have the nerve to ask me for project funds?"

"Isn't Li Wanyong dead? Ito Hirobumi is about to die, don't worry. As for the project funds, one code is one code. If you go to a restaurant to eat, will paying once be enough to last you a lifetime?"

Li Xi could not refute.

But one thing is certain, it was indeed Zhao Chuanxin who killed Li Wanyong.

He shook his white beard and said angrily: "Get to work quickly."

As Party B, Zhao Chuanxin is very well-educated and does not have the same knowledge as Party A.

He looked around and saw that it was quiet.

"Where to put the telegram?"

Li Xi pointed to the room where Zhao Chuanxin stayed for the night: "It's over there. I made a new cabinet and put it in the cabinet."

Zhao Chuanxin went in and took a look. Sure enough, there was an extra cabinet in Xiao Ran's room.

He shook his head: "You are all laymen. This cabinet is too abrupt."

As he spoke, he brought in a long table from outside and placed it against the wall. He also brought in a chair.

With the addition of tables, chairs, and wardrobes, it looks more regular and less obtrusive.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the desk and chair and said: "This is a temporary measure. Tomorrow you can find someone to build a desk with drawers. The drawers should be locked. In this way, if it is robbed, the thief will most likely focus on it.

Locked drawer."

Li Xi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he didn't think so much at all.

When he opened the cabinet, Zhao Chuanxin was happy again: "You have almost no cover-up. Make the cabinet larger, put a hidden compartment at the back, and hide the telegraph machine inside. Everything should look normal on the surface.

”

He doesn't care so much, let Li Xi worry about it.

He assembled keyboards, electromagnets, connectors, bells, typewriters, relays, receivers, etc. one by one.

Pulling the bare copper wire, Zhao Chuanxin frowned and thought for a while.

He used an elf carving knife to cut a groove on the wall and stuffed the copper wire into it.

Put on your mud trowel gloves and fill the grooves with sand.

Li Xi and the little eunuch looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they both saw surprise on each other's faces.

After finishing the route, Li Xi reached out and touched the flat rock strips on the wall.

It's cool, smooth and hard, and completely integrated with the wall.

The little eunuch whispered: "Spells are all spells."

Pulled outside, Zhao Chuanxin took out a pickaxe from the secret realm and dug a trench on the ground.

Then use a mud trowel glove to gather sand into stone strips, wrap the copper wire and extend it forward to the channel.

Go back and cover the rock strips with soil.

Such an extremely secret line was formed.

After entering the secret passage, he doesn't have to work so hard.

He turned around and said: "You two hold the lamp for me and I will do the work."

The little eunuch held a lantern and said: "Your Majesty, please go back and rest first."

"I'm not sleepy, I just have to watch to feel relieved."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned.

Since we are all following, no one should be idle.

He carried a pickaxe and walked inside, digging holes in the ground.

"Here, put the wooden frame into the hole." Zhao Chuanxin directed Li Xi to work.

Li Xi blew his beard and stared.

As an emperor, he has clothes to hold, food to eat, and mouth to open. Where has he ever done any work?

Zhao Chuanxin saw this: "Hurry up, what's the ink?"

The little eunuch broke into a cold sweat.

I'm really afraid that His Majesty will be angry, but Mr. Zhao also has a very strange temper.

If a conflict breaks out, he may be able to delay His Majesty's beating for a second.

Because he estimated that he could take a punch from Zhao Chuanxin.

So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you hold the lamp, I'll do it."

Li Xi got angry, and the little old man held on to the wooden frame on the ground and tremblingly lowered it into the pit.

At this time, it was spring and summer, and the passage was extremely hot.

Zhao Chuanxin simply took off his coat.

A god of war, an emperor of Korea, and a personal eunuch, the three of them were sweating profusely in the secret passage late at night.

Zhao Chuanxin set up a shelf and tied the copper wires to it.

The work is actually quite rough.

But there is no other way to rush the work.

Fortunately, this passage is not long, and we soon reached the basement of the Russian Legation.

As usual, Zhao Chuanxin first asked for directions. After there was no movement outside, the three people filed out.

Li Xi gasped for air.

He has never been so tired.

Among the three of them, the little eunuch who usually serves others was the most relaxed, not even breaking a sweat.

Zhao Chuanxin's body was black and white, and the bath he took earlier was in vain.

He took out the elf carving knife and cut a hole in the basement wall to hide the thread.

"Are you sure that your people can enter and exit the Russian Legation normally?"

"Russians are easy to talk to. I have already made arrangements."

Zhao Chuanxin began to assemble the telegraph machine here.

After the batteries are connected in series, cover them up with the debris in the basement.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his watch and looked at the time. It was already midnight.

He said: "Let's go back."

Li Xi's eyes widened: "Where are you going back?"

Zhao Chuanxin said matter-of-factly: "Of course I went to Jingguanxuan. You haven't paid me the bill yet, and it's already midnight. Don't I have to go to Qingyun Palace to sleep? Do you want me to sleep on the street?"

Li Xi angrily took out an inkstone from his pocket and reluctantly handed it to Zhao Chuanxin after hesitating: "This inkstone is your reward, you'd better not go to Qingyun Palace."

He was worried that if Zhao Chuanxin leaked his whereabouts, it would implicate him.

Zhao Chuanxin took the inkstone and measured it up and down.
