Palace
"Madam, do you have to go?"
Su He nodded firmly, "Yes, it's just a secret passage. I'm just curious where it leads to."
"Don't worry, I'll go explore the way. There won't be any danger. I'll be back no later than this time tomorrow."
"If Concubine Jing comes to visit, you have to help me cover it up."
Cuiguo knew her queen's temper. Once she made up her mind, even ten oxen could not pull her back.
Cuiguo had no choice but to accept her fate, "Then please protect yourself, Madam."
Su He patted Cuiguo's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Hongtao and Baiguo, if you can't hide it, then there's no need to hide it."
Su He fiddled around in the space for a long time, put on the nightgown he wore when he met the Queen Mother, and left his palace.
Because I teleported directly last time, I didn’t get to experience the excitement of night exploration.
So today, on the way to the palace in the southeast direction, Su He did not ask Lingling for help. He dodged three waves of guards on his own. He did not breathe a sigh of relief until he entered the courtyard of the palace.
Lingling then transformed into a little boy and appeared in front of Su He.
"Master, you are so nervous that you are sweating. What are you trying to do?"
"Of course it's for excitement. If I could do some Qinggong, like flying over eaves and walls, it would be even better. What a pity."
Su He entered the palace and once again refused Lingling's help in finding the entrance to the secret passage and started her escape from the secret room.
After knocking left and twisting right for nearly half an hour, he finally found the switch of the secret passage on the bed box in the bedroom of the palace.
With a creaking sound, the door of the secret passage slowly opened automatically.
"Oh my goodness, there really were fully automatic machines in ancient times."
Su He thought about the secret passages and secret rooms in novels and TV dramas, which all had mechanisms, so she followed suit, took out a piece of clothing from the space, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the secret passage with force.
Su He waited for a while. Apart from the slight sound of clothes falling to the ground, he did not hear any sound of arrows falling in the secret passage, nor any poison or smoke. Only then did he feel at ease to go in.
As soon as we entered, it was pitch dark inside. There was no scene as we had imagined, where the walls on both sides would instantly light up with candles as the door of the secret passage opened.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that this secret passage is not that smart. TV dramas are really deceiving."
Su He first took out a children's safety helmet and put it on Lingling's head, then took out a miner's safety helmet with a light and put it on his own head, and then took out two flashlights, one for each of them.
"Master, don't we need to get two portable oxygen machines from the supermarket?"
"What do I do with that?"
"What if their secret passage has no air inlet or outlet? If we die before we get very far, there will be no one to save us in this place."
"They are ancient people, not primitive people. The ancient people's technology of digging tombs and secret passages is at the level of our ancestors. Modern people can't even catch up with it when flying airplanes.
Su He took Lingling's little hand and walked into the secret passage. As the light shone, Su He discovered that there were more than a dozen steps below to the ground of the secret passage.
This secret passage is a square rectangular tunnel with some straw piled inside.
Su He walked a few steps and then stopped.
"Lingling, can you measure how long this secret passage is?"
Lingling closed her eyes tightly and opened them after three breaths.
"Master, the distance from this secret passage to the exit is about 30 kilometers."
"Wait for me a moment," Su He disappeared directly into the secret passage.
A quarter of an hour later, Su He came out, and an electric car appeared in the secret passage with her.
"Master, are you going to ride a bike?"
Su He rubbed Lingling's little head, "Isn't the lack of oxygen here affecting your IQ? 30 kilometers, with your short legs, won't we have to walk until tomorrow morning?"
Ling Ling was angry and expressed her dissatisfaction, "It's obviously you who are lazy."
"boarding!"
"Master, did you often ride an electric bike before?"
Su He said honestly: "No, I have never ridden one."
"Then you dare take me along for the ride."
"I've been able to ride a bicycle since I was a kid. This is just an electric bike. How can I not be able to control it?"
Lingling disappeared directly into the secret passage, and Lingling's voice appeared in Su He's mind.
【Master, call me when you arrive. 】
Su He: ······
[Is there no trust between us? ]
【No. 】
Su He had no choice but to ride his electric scooter by himself. The passage in the secret room was too dark and the roads were all dirt. Plus, Su He was not very skilled in riding an electric bicycle. It took Su He more than an hour to reach the exit, a journey that should have taken half an hour.
Su He directly put the electric car back into the space, [Come out, we're here. ]
[I'd better not go out. It's so dark at night, and there's nothing to see.]
[Okay, can you see what's outside? Is it outside or inside?]
[The system cannot see the specific scene, but the system shows that this is the interior of a house. An old man lives in the room on the far right of the house.]
[That's good, that's good, as long as no one lives at the exit, I guess the old man is a night watchman.]
Su He still put his ear to the door of the secret passage exit and waited for a while. He found that there was no sound. Then he turned the switch on the wall with his hand, and the familiar sound of the door opening rang out again.
Su He was extremely nervous. In the silent night, the sound of the secret passage door opening was particularly harsh.
The moment Su He came out of the secret passage, he hid back in the space.
After another quarter of an hour, he confirmed that the old man did not come to check, and then he felt relieved and came out of the space.
Su He looked around the room. Judging from the layout, it was a study, and the door to the secret room was the bookshelf on the wall.
It was obvious that this room was specially set up as a secret passage, and there was no sign that anyone had ever lived in the room.
Su He carefully opened the door and came to the night watchman's room. He poked a finger-sized hole in the paper covering the window. Before he had time to look inside, a strong smell of alcohol wafted out from the hole.
[Lingling, where is this? It looks like it should be in the city, but this place seems to be very run-down.]
[Master, we are back in the capital. This is the southwest direction of the capital.]
Su He was a little excited. Wouldn't it be possible for him to sneak into the city to play often in the future?
Just as Su He was imagining the future, a familiar voice suddenly came from next door.
"Hey, goblin! Give my grandpa back to me!"
"You are also transformed from a gourd, why do you call me a goblin?"
Su He stepped carefully on the firewood piled against the wall and climbed up the top of the wall with great effort.
[You know what, he has a talent for acting. ]
[Master, where are we going next? ]
【et al. 】
Su He left the yard and sat at the gate of Calabash Brothers' yard.
