Chapter 247 Secret Road

If this is the case, they can't stay here and cause trouble. Cheng Xin and Wen Yunxian looked at each other and both understood each other's meaning.

"Time is tight, I'll take you out first." Qin Shu pulled Cheng Xin's hand and walked quickly towards the backyard.

"Wait, Wenqi and the others..."

Qin Shu said: "Just take Mei Ran and Yueya with you. Wenqi and others have been sent out by Qingcha and Jiguang."

Cheng Xin then realized that on the way to the backyard, most of the maids and servants in the mansion were fewer, but it turned out that this was the rule that Duke Anguo’s Mansion had always been. Once there was war or trouble, several safety managers in the mansion would immediately arrange for evacuation and follow the command to send all the whole mansion to a safe place.

The same is true this time. After receiving Qin Shu's order, General Manager Qin immediately started to make arrangements. Instead, she and Wen Yunxian stayed for the end.

Several people followed Qin Shu to the backyard and entered Qin Shu's study.

Qin Shu came to the direction of the bookshelf, reached out and moved a box away, and a strange sound suddenly came from the wall hanging from behind.

Cheng Xin was surprised: "It turns out that there are really secret thoughts in the study!"

Those TV series are really not bullying me.

Qin Shu didn't bother to explain and pulled Cheng Xin into the rotating door.

Wen Yunxian, Yueya and plum ran entered in turn.

There is a unique cave inside the door, and some glowing stones are inlaid on the wall. Cheng Xin took a closer look: "It turns out that it's not the night pearl."

Qin Shu laughed: "Although your husband has a wealthy family, I can't stand such extravagance."

Cheng Xin nodded, too, I don’t know how often this secret passage is used, and embedding the night pearl on the wall to illuminate it is really a waste of resources.

The secret passage is very long and the air inside is quite dull. When people walk by, a layer of dust will be raised under their feet.

"When did this secret passage come from?"

"It has been there since the day when the Duke of Anguo was opened. It was ordered by the old lady when she was alive. At that time, maybe it was just a plan and was put on hold. Later, after my father had an accident at the border, this secret passage came in handy."

"It is rumored that the princess rarely went out when he was young. Could it be that you went out quietly here?" Wen Yunxian's question came from behind.

Qin Shu shook his head: "No, this is my second time here in this secret passage."

"Then what is the use of this secret passage?" Cheng Xin asked.

"More than ten years ago, when my mother heard that your prince's brother was poisoned, she was worried that someone would borrow food, which would be unfavorable to me. Later, we bought it as usual on the spot, but the food we really ate was sent in from this secret passage every few days."

Qin Shu always thinks that everything is too difficult when he is young.

The huge Anguo Duke Mansion suddenly lost its pillar overnight. The wife and young master in the family who were shocked and ignorant of the world. Not to mention the people in the family who had ulterior motives for them, even those in the court who wanted to use this to defeat Anguo Duke Mansion caused them a lot of trouble during that period.

Qin Shu often saw his mother crying secretly on her back. It was during that time that he was forced to grow up. He wanted to make himself a mother's support and let her take off her burden.

Suddenly, the force on his hand tightened, and Qin Shu looked back and met Cheng Xin's burning gaze.

He smiled gently: "Don't worry, everything is over."

Cheng Xin nodded: "I have never accompanied you through the difficulties in the past. No matter how difficult it is in the future, I will bear them with you."

Qin Shu felt warm in his heart when he heard this. If it were not for the situation, he would definitely give Cheng Xin a big hug at this time.

With Cheng Xin and Qin Shu each moved, the narrow and long secret passage was quickly completed.

Qin Shu first rubbed the door of the secret passage for a while, and then, no matter where he pressed it, a rope fell from above.

Qin Shu pulled off the rope and brought down a long rope ladder. At the same time, a ray of light shone from above.

Cheng Xin and others looked up and faced with a blue sky and white clouds.

"I'll go up first. When I say it's OK, you guys will come up again." Qin Shu pulled the ladder rope and climbed up.

Cheng Xin watched him crawl out from above, waited for a while, and then saw him leaning down: "It's safe here, you guys come up one by one."

Cheng Xin and others did as they did.

After they all came up one after another, they found that the place they had just climbed up was actually an abandoned well, and the surrounding area was a small yard, and the front seemed very lively and in a sensation.

"Where is this?" Cheng Xin asked.

Qin Shu pointed to a door in the yard and said, "Get out of this door and turn out from the alley. It's the backyard of Qing'an Building."

"What? We have been walking for so long?" Wen Yunxian was surprised.

Cheng Xin was also puzzled that Qing'an Building and their mansion were a street apart.

Qin Shu said: "The main entrance of Anguo Duke's Mansion is located on Wenxi Street, which is indeed a street from Qingyang Street where Qing'an Building is located. But this secret passage is excavated from the study in the backyard and then to the backyard of Qing'an Building, the distance has been greatly shortened."

Cheng Xin thought about it with the little space knowledge he had left and nodded.

That's right. On the ground, the roads are built around those mansions. But below, there are fewer twists and turns, and a piece of intestine is connected to the end, and the journey is greatly shortened.

"Didn't you say that this secret passage is often used for purchasing? Why is this yard abandoned?"

Cheng Xin looked around for a week and said that the yard should be in a very good location. The rent here is not cheap, and it is inevitable that it is suspicious to be so empty and abandoned.

"When buying, a pair of relatives of Mr. Qin lived here. They were vegetable farmers and specially delivered vegetables to several taverns on Qingyang Street. They often pushed fruits, vegetables and other items into the yard without any doubt. But after I went to Yunshan Academy, my mother was no longer so cautious. This secret passage was gradually gone.

Later, the two old couples were old and returned to the countryside to take care of their elderly care, and no one lived in the yard.

However, to the outside world, this is the warehouse where Qing'an Building stores old things. The shopkeeper of Qing'an Building and General Manager Qin are acquaintances, and this little busy is a slaughter for him."

Qin Shu said as he came to the gate of the yard and listened to the movement outside.

"So that's it." Cheng Xin leaned over and looked out into the crack in the door, and saw a person walking towards him.

Cheng Xin was startled and avoided sideways.

‘Bang bang bang’ the courtyard door was knocked.

Qin Shu shook his head at them and signaled them not to speak out.

‘Bang, bang, bang bang.’

The knock on the door sounded very regularly, and Qin Shu opened the door.

Standing outside was Chai Qi, the guard next to the eldest prince.

"Miss, you make our master very worried." Chai Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Yunxian safe and sound. Then he quickly bowed to Qin Shu and Cheng Xin: "Thank you, the Duke of the State and the Duke of the State for protecting Miss Wen, and the young master, thank you in advance on behalf of our master."
