As soon as I came out, I stood close to the thick baize curtain. I stood behind the luxurious throne. The spiral staircase was right behind the throne, rotating and disappearing to the upper floor.
Starlight faintly filtered through the windows on both sides. I just had to wrap myself in a bed sheet, jump out of the window and break through the cobwebs. I thought that with this brief contact, the poison on the cobwebs would not penetrate, and I would
There won't be any danger
Then, with my lightness skills, I can throw off the sheets before landing, and then I can run out of the city to meet Tian Wang.
But the new discoveries in front of me made me give up this idea temporarily. The opportunity is rare.
There is a thick baize curtain next to each window. If I have time, I would like to lift each of them and take a look.
The stairs I first went up are in front. There are six gates outside the palace. There should be at least six such stairs. Similarly, there should be six fan-shaped halls.
There is no light here, and the luminous pearls in those copper bead tables are all dim. If it weren't for a little light coming from the top of the spiral staircase, it would be even darker here.
I tiptoed around the throne and found nothing, and I didn't dare to touch the things above. I didn't know what information was hidden inside. My attention was focused on the top of the spiral staircase. What was going on there?
I squatted at the bottom of the spiral staircase, stretched out my hand and wiped it on the stair board. The cool wooden board was engraved with non-slip patterns and was very strong. I gently stepped on the spiral staircase.
I had just walked up a dozen levels when a low-pitched conversation came into my ears.
"Is there any news about Bai Lai?" Bai Jing's voice
"Back to General Bai," a person said, "Except for three of the dozen or so people you left on the northern island who died, the others have returned. However, only Bai Lai... he has not come back."
"Damn it," Bai Jing punched something. I was squatting on the stairs and felt the shock. He said, "I will lead you and betray Cui Jia. I didn't let you be a little robber. Damn it."
How many times have I told you not to commit robberies and let your masters live their lives, but you have never changed your traitorous nature!"
"But in vain, he does it every now and then, and I feel itchy if he doesn't do it once," one person said
"General, I just took a sneak peek and found out that the person who separated us on the northern island is your current guest... You are so polite to him!" There was injustice in the words.
"I have thought of this. He is a character. What do you know? If I want to be the king here for a long time, I only rely on you? How many of you can stand alone for me? As long as they are not my enemy,
Except for the throne, I will sacrifice anything."
"But they robbed us of the gold we had accumulated over the past ten years!"
"Haha, gold is nothing. To tell the truth, I feel very distressed. As long as we have their help, all the treasures in this land will not belong to us!"
"Besides, besides gold, we also have..."
Just when I heard this, suddenly, heavy footsteps came from the stairs below, and the conversation of the people above stopped immediately.
I am now in an awkward position. As soon as someone comes up the spiral staircase, I have nowhere to hide. The people upstairs also heard the noise, got up and walked towards the stairs.
Now I was squatting on a spiral staircase that was as tall as one person. I saw the shadows of two people walking up the hall and walking straight towards here. One person stood at the bottom of the spiral staircase and rushed up and whispered:
"General Bai, Nelinen is here."
The man behind him stood still and said harshly to the man standing on the spiral staircase, "General Bai, I'm sorry to bother you at this late hour."
"Where is it? I've been thinking about you these days. Please come in quickly."
It turns out that the person who came here is Nie Lining! Ever since we left the South China Sea, I thought he had already fend for himself, but I didn’t expect to meet him again here. This world is really too small!
Nelinen raised his hand and said, "It is my wish to serve General Bai." He said and walked up the spiral staircase.
The sergeant who came to report turned around and left. Bai Jing stopped him, "Wait a minute, the distinguished guest Nerline has arrived. Go and call one of Qing Hua and Hong Hua back to wait on you... That Tian Zong is really greedy.
Six women, not even polite to each other...he can handle it!"
Sergeant, please go down
Han Lining said, "No need, General Bai. I have an extremely important thing to report to you. I can't handle the robbers in the pearl quarry."
"Why? You have to know that you and I are divided into 60 and 40. Don't you think that's too little? Don't forget, I have to support a huge state machine here. If I don't have money, who will follow me?"
"That's not what I meant. The general gave me too much, which is better than what I used to fight and rob passing ships at sea... But our strong enemy has arrived!"
"who?"
"So far, I haven't figured it out, but they are driving a very big canoe. It's not the kind of canoe made of a single piece of wood. It's simply too big. The people on top are extremely fierce. They showed up yesterday.
Your pearl quarry”
"Who else could be there? He is here right now, entangled with several women and unable to get away. Could it be?"
"Anyway, I don't want to mess with them these days. I'm going to hide here with you for a while." Nerining said that I could hear the fear in his words. I hid behind and laughed secretly in my heart.
Bai Jing smiled "hehe" and said, "Nie Lining, I think you are worrying too much. I didn't expect that you have scared them out of their wits! In my opinion, you should go back to being your robber and we will continue to cooperate. Are those people?
I'll be able to pull them over soon and do it with us."
"really?"
"Why am I lying to you? The leader of that gang is here now. He has fallen into the land of tenderness. He probably doesn't want to go back and has joined the gang directly!"
Nerining seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "Then I can rest assured that I won't have to work with Miss Qinghua tonight. I will go back now. Tomorrow, General Bai, you will have another big income!"
"Haha, I won't give it away"
A figure walked to the entrance of the spiral staircase. The stairs trembled when he stepped on them. Nie Lining walked down in a hurry.
Bai Jing did not come down, and I no longer had the intention to listen to what they were discussing. I let go gently, and I fell to the ground from the back of the spiral staircase. Nelinen had already walked around the throne and walked out.
It seems that he is a frequent visitor here. If I follow him, I can find the way out.
He got off the inclined staircase and passed the corner of the fan-shaped hall in a blink of an eye. I knew there was a door below, but I didn't know where the mechanism to open the door was. I used the Qinggong taught by General Zhi Ji and followed me not far or near.
Nerynin
When he walked to the thick baize curtain hanging from the floor, he wrapped his body inside and lost sight of it.
I was afraid that he would suddenly emerge from the curtain, so I waited for a while, but there was no movement. The curtain also calmed down from the shaking just now.
I walked over and opened the curtain, but there was no sign of him inside.
I followed his example and hid my body in the entire curtain, and my hand touched a thick and soft fly.
The tentacles were very soft, not hemp ropes, but like they were made of countless threads. I pulled them down gently, and a blast of cool air hit my face. A secret door opened on the stone wall in front of me.
