Chapter 420 Dark Room
The next day, when Chen Xiuyan woke up, it was already bright outside. The yard was quiet, but it seemed very noisy outside.
Chen Xiuyan lives in the room on the far right of the main house. The bed placed against the wall is the backyard. The backyard is very small. The wall is less than ten feet away from the backyard wall. There is an alley outside. Chen Xiuyan can hear the alley while lying on the bed.
There was a messy running sound.
Thinking that King Taiping had come out of the General Military Mansion, the Shanxi General Soldier should be as anxious as if the sky had broken. Chen Xiuyan sat up quickly. They were not safe here anymore. Even if they didn't come in to search before, they would have to go home this time.
House-to-house searches were conducted.
Chen Xiuyan walked out of the room. Luan An was on guard in the courtyard. When he saw Chen Xiuyan coming out, he saluted and said, "Prince Princess, I will bring you some breakfast."
Luan An already respects Chen Xiuyan. Yesterday she brought back Prince Taiping. Luan An now treats Chen Xiuyan with the same respect as he does Prince Taiping and Princess Changshou.
"Excuse me, I'll take my uncle's pulse first." Chen Xiuyan nodded gratefully and headed towards Prince Taiping's room.
After Princess Changshou woke up in the morning and learned that her grandfather was back, she stayed in King Taiping's room and didn't want to leave for a moment. At this time, she heard a knock on the door and took the initiative to open the door.
"Sister Xiuyan." Seeing Chen Xiuyan, Princess Changshou directly moved up to protect Chen Xiuyan's waist, "Sister Xiuyan is so amazing, my grandfather told me."
"The most powerful thing is my uncle. Even if I didn't go yesterday, my uncle would definitely be able to escape on his own in a while." Chen Xiuyan's words were really not an exaggeration.
"My wife, Wen Qian, is being humbled. Without you, I would have been trapped by Ruanjin Powder and would have lost my chance of winning." King Taiping looked at the two people who came in and said with a smile, "I woke up today and discovered that the efficacy of Ruanjin Powder is
It’s over.”
King Taiping didn't say much, but his eyes glanced at the water bag on Chen Xiuyan's waist, and his meaning was very clear.
Chen Xiuyan checked King Taiping's pulse. It was strong and strong, and there was nothing wrong with her at all.
"My uncle is in good health."
"I slept well last night. I haven't slept so well in a long time." King Taiping said with emotion.
Luan An brought breakfast. It was enough for three people, and Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised.
"It's rare to oversleep." King Taiping explained very calmly. He never falls behind in his morning practice every day. It can be said that the law has been formed for decades, but it was broken today.
"My skills are limited, so I hired help from my master." Luan An said sheepishly.
Breakfast is very simple, consisting of white porridge with pickled side dishes, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a few white flour steamed buns.
"I hear there's some chaos in the alley outside, haven't we come here to search yet?" Chen Xiuyan asked directly to the point.
"The search was based on the area, but it was fast." King Taiping replied, "But it is still safe here."
King Taiping stood up and walked towards the bed. He stretched out his hand to lift the quilt and exposed the bed board. He bent down and pressed a place. With a "squeak" sound, the bed board became vertical at 90 degrees.
Chen Xiuyan's eyebrows jumped. It turned out that there was a secret passage. She had seen too many secret passages recently, so she didn't find it surprising.
"Bang bang——"
There was a loud knock on the door outside. Although it was not the yard where they were, the sound was heard right next door.
"Changshou, come here." King Taiping looked nervous and asked Princess Changshou to go down first, followed by Chen Xiuyan.
Luan'an went to the east wing to carry Eunuch Xia, and his master quickly appeared in the main room. He watched Prince Taiping and the other three people also get down and spread the bedding again.
After that, the whole family was busy packing up the extra bedding and removing traces in the rooms they did not live in. The breakfast dishes for King Taiping and the others were not put away just now. The whole family sat down around the table, which was more realistic.
Almost as soon as I sat down, there was a ring at my courtyard door.
Chen Xiuyan and her party went down to the secret passage. In fact, this was more of a dark room than a secret passage. There were many valuable things piled in it, which should be the collection of the owner of the house.
Then there are more weapons, long knives, long tassels, bows and arrows... there are quite a few.
"This place is also a gathering place for the people under King Jin." King Taiping explained.
There is a bed and a coffee table against the wall, and even the bedding is complete.
"It seems that it is also the first choice for hiding people." Chen Xiuyan said bluntly, no wonder King Taiping and others were allowed to be here.
I only stayed in the darkroom for two-quarters of an hour when the bed board opened from the outside.
