Before setting off, Shen Cha had been staying at the camp. Mei Zhu, who was secretly training the new shadows, and Ying Wu, who had received the news, hurried over and insisted on going down with Shen Cha and the others.

"The danger below is unknown. Mr. Hou, Boss and Sister Miao Miao cannot take risks alone, they must take us with them."

Mei Zhu and Ying Wu came prepared. They opened the small bags they carried with them and showed them to everyone.

"You two..." Jin Miaomiao looked at the things they prepared and then at Shen Cha, "Take them with you. Even the detoxification pills are ready. I didn't expect this."

"Xiao Cha, take them both with you!" His Highness Prince Ning also advised, "It's better to have more people."

Shen Cha thought for a while, nodded towards Mei Zhu and Ying Wu, and agreed that they should follow.

The two people packed up their small bags happily, waved to the others, and Ying Wu opened the way. They walked down the stairs from the secret passage in the middle of the pavilion and entered a place they had never explored before.

"Be careful." Shen Haolin told Shen Cha when she was about to go down, pretending to make a gesture casually.

Shen Cha nodded slightly, she understood what her brother meant, and she also had a hunch that the things in the secret room under the pavilion would probably answer all their previous questions.

There are many steps down from the pavilion. When you get to the bottom, there are about two to three hundred steps.

At the beginning, we could still use the light from the entrance of the cave, but then it got darker and darker as we went down, so several people opened fire folders to illuminate it.

However, before lighting the ignition fold, in order to avoid gases that would be harmful to humans or cause dangerous gases due to being sealed for too long, Jin Miaomiao used her special detoxification powder after entering the secret passage. I spread it all the way, and by the time I had to light the fire fold, it had almost dissipated.

After everyone's fire folds were lit, everyone could clearly see the stone walls and steps on the left and right.

"Boss, Mr. Hou, be careful. It's a little slippery, so don't fall." Ying Wu took out his gloves from his arms and put them on, "Try not to touch anything. Although this secret room belongs to Mr. Hou, Mrs. Hou built it, but if it has been sealed for too long, some not-so-good things will grow, so let’s try not to touch it, okay?”

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "Xiao Wu, wait a moment." She stood there, holding the fire folding piece against the wall, "Look, there are patterns."

Ying Wu imitated Shen Cha's example and put the fire folder in his hand against the wall, looking at it carefully.

"This pattern..." Ying Wu frowned slightly and shook his head slightly, "I've never seen it before. It doesn't look like it's from the Green Lotus Sect, nor does it look like the totem of any organization we have."

"Let me take a look." Xue Ruitian also came over and took a look at the Huozhezi in Shen Cha's hand, "This... well, it looks familiar."

"Looks familiar? Brother Xiaotian has seen it before?"

"I think I've seen it before." Xue Ruitian touched his chin and thought about it carefully for a long time, "I can't remember it, but I have definitely seen it before."

"When did you see me?"

"Anyway, it's not in the past few years, but we met a long time ago. And it wasn't at the border or in Xijing City. It seemed like..."

"Imperial Palace!" Mei Zhu, who was walking at the end, poked his head and took a look, "Boss, this pattern can be found in the Imperial Palace."

"Yes! Yes!" Xue Ruitian nodded frequently, "Xinning Palace! I remembered it!"

"Xinning Palace?" Shen Cha frowned slightly and exchanged a look with Jin Miaomiao, "The former bedroom of the empress of the Xue family?" She looked at Xue Ruitian, "I'm talking as I walk, brother Xiaotian, please slow down."

"Okay!" Xue Ruitian followed Shen Cha down the steps little by little, "I was still young at the time, about two or three years old? I don't really remember how I got to Xinning Palace. I can remember it. , I accidentally ran there and was already in the main hall, but I was discovered by the late empress’s chamberlain, who quickly took me out. What I can remember now is this pattern, because there is this pattern on the curtain of the main hall. of."

"Understood." Shen Cha nodded, "When did Xiaozhu go to Xinning Palace?"

"Didn't we help train a group of palace ladies this time when we were in the palace? The location was Xinning Palace."

"I remembered." Shen Cha nodded, "His Majesty said he wanted to find a place that outsiders would never think of, but he didn't expect that he would choose it there."

"Yes, Xinning Palace has only been slightly cleaned, and nothing else has changed. As the Marquis said just now, this pattern can be seen everywhere in Xinning Palace, which is not surprising at all. I was also curious before and asked about it casually. It is said that the empress liked this flower very much, and because its flowering period was very short, she placed it on the curtain so that she could look at it every day."

"Miaomiao, what kind of flower is this?"

"I haven't seen it before. It shouldn't be common in Daxia." Jin Miaomiao shook her head, "Xiaocha, you said..." Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xue Ruitian trying to reach out to touch the wall, so she quickly reached out and hit her hard. Dropped his outstretched paw.

"What are you doing? It hurts!"

"It hurts, that's right!" Jin Miaomiao rolled her eyes, "I told you before not to touch things here casually, but you turned a deaf ear to it?" As he said this, he took out a pair of black clothes from his waist. Handing the gloves to Xue Ruitian, she sighed softly, "Put it on. If something happens to you because of your fumbling, I won't be happy to save you."

"I know, I know." Xue Ruitian took the pair of gloves and recognized that it was Jin Miaomiao's special treasure. He would not take it out easily. He put it on happily and asked with a smile, "I want it before." You didn’t give it to me many times, but this time you gave it to me so happily without asking?”

"Don't we have the material?" Jin Miaomiao bared his teeth at Xue Ruitian, "Your Majesty has this material in his private treasury. I made many copies when I was in Xijing City. It's no big deal to give you one. "

"So that's it!" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows and looked at his new gift happily, "Anyway, I still have it."

"De Xing!" Jin Miaomiao sighed, "You should be careful anyway, you know that?"

"I know, I know." Xue Ruitian nodded frequently and admired his gloves for a long time before remembering the conversation he had interrupted just now. He looked at Shen Cha in front of him and fell slightly behind, walking side by side with Jin Miaomiao. "Tell me honestly, do you know something that you don't know about? If so, tell me. After all, it's already this point, and there's no point in hiding it, right?"

"We have told you everything we know. If there is anything else, we will have to investigate together." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "You have to be prepared. This process should be very hard. For you, it is

A great challenge.”

"Don't worry, with you here, I can hold on."

"Boss, Mr. Hou, we are almost at the end. The road down here is even slippery, so be careful!"
