The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 279 Secret Base

This is not the first time that Yang Qi has experienced the magic of Qinggong, but this time it was for tracking, and the feeling was indeed different.

Thinking of Qinggong, Yang Qi couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

I still remember that the first time I knew what Qinggong was was when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince demonstrated it to me. The first time I personally experienced Qinggong was when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took me down the well.

It seems like so many years ago.

Bai Yuxin and his group stopped in front of "a mountain". Yang Qi looked at them in confusion. What on earth were these people up to?

Just when Yang Qi was curious, he saw a man in black gesturing in front of the mountain, and then a cave appeared in front of the mountain, just big enough for two adult men to pass through.

But they were quite far away and the moonlight was not bright enough, so Yang Qi couldn't see what mechanism the man in black had touched that caused the cave to open.

The entrance of the cave opened, and Bai Yuxin and his companions went straight into the cave without hesitation.

It seems that the Bai family has occupied a place in this "bandit land". Looking at Bai Yuxin's familiar look, I'm afraid that Prime Minister Bai must have mentioned it to her many times before.

Ever since Yang Qi saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince show off his skills in the dark room of Lingshan Temple last time, he has privately read a lot of books on Qimen Dunjia and mechanical devices. At first, Yang Qi had never practiced them in actual combat, and many things remained at the theoretical level.

Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned that Yang Qi was studying mechanisms, so he asked Peilin to send him a lot of classic books and novel mechanisms.

I hope the mechanism at the entrance of the cave isn't too strange, otherwise my half-baked skills won't last long.

Ah Du took the lead and in a few steps reached the cave entrance where Bai Yuxin and the others were just now. Now the cave entrance was completely closed, without any signs of disguise.

If Adu had not just seen it with his own eyes, he would not have been able to find the flaw even if he had examined it carefully.

After making sure that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Adu made a gesture in the direction of Yang Qi and Chen Jing.

After receiving the signal from Ah Du, Chen Jing whispered, "You can go now."

Seeing Yang Qi nod slightly, Chen Jing grabbed Yang Qi's clothes and led her to the cave entrance.

"Master, it was too dark just now, and I couldn't see the movements of the man in black's hands clearly."

Faced with this flawless mechanism, Adu really had no idea what to do.

Looking at Chen Jing who was standing beside him, Yang Qi asked, "Chen Jing, did you see clearly just now?"

Yang Qi's expectations were destined to be dashed. Chen Jing shook her head: "But the key should be here." As she spoke, Chen Jing marked the stone three steps to the left of the cave entrance.

Although I couldn't see the black-clad man's specific movements, I could still determine his general direction.

It was great to be able to narrow the scope. Yang Qi stepped forward and gestured at the part that Chen Jing had just pointed out. Then, he carefully pressed these stones. They were extremely hard and there didn't seem to be a secret room at all.

There was no other way. Yang Qi could only quickly review the books he had read in his mind. No matter how things change, the essence remains the same. All the secret rooms and mechanisms in the world are hiding important things through specific ways and means.

"Got it." Yang Qi smiled, and then slowly and hesitantly searched for the mechanism with his hands.

If this mechanism can be used well, it can be of great use at critical moments. Otherwise, the status of the Mohist family in the Tianyuan Dynasty would not be so unique and would not be so favored by the emperor.

These mechanisms are interconnected layer by layer, so if you want to find the flaw, the best way is to start from the outermost layer or the most conspicuous place.

"Click." As Yang Qi exerted force with his hands and adjusted the stone wall left, right and up and down, the stone wall moved slowly, and the cave entrance just now reappeared in front of him.

Seeing that his master could really find the entrance to the cave, Ah Du felt proud.

Chen Jing may not know, but Adu knows that his master has not been learning the art of mechanisms for a long time.

These days, all the things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked to be given to his master were handled by Adu himself.

Without A-Du's cooperation, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know the location of his master so easily in Xiaoyu Manor.

When the entrance to the cave appeared, Yang Qi walked straight in without any hesitation.

Adu and Chen Jing protected Yang Qi on the left and right.

Because Bai Yuxin and his group had just passed by, the candles in the secret passage were lit and swaying, making the secret passage look even more eerie.

The further he went in, the more Yang Qi could connect the secret room here with the secret room in Lingshan Temple. Whether it was the overall layout or the arrangement of items in detail, it was exactly the same as the secret room in Lingshan Temple.

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a huge house at the end of the secret passage.

As expected, when they reached the entrance of the secret passage, Adu, Chen Jing and Yang Qi were all dazzled by the sudden bright light.

After getting a little more accustomed, Yang Qi and the other two followed the secret passage and carefully observed the situation in the lobby. It turned out that there were quite a few luminous pearls placed in there for lighting.

As expected of the helmsman of Jiangnan and the emperor's food package, the Bai family's power should not be underestimated.

When Adu and Chen Jing entered the secret passage, they remained extremely alert, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

I looked around the lobby carefully. Fortunately, the space was large enough so it wasn't difficult to find a secluded spot.

Chen Jing and Adu each found a hiding place, and Yang Qi followed Adu and carefully moved to the hidden place.

The Fifth Prince, Bai Yuxin and others are currently standing in the center of the lobby.

The man in black was very polite when he spoke at this moment: "Your Highness, what do you think of the layout here? Is there anything that needs to be modified?

This time, the overall design style is consistent with the past. Except for some modifications to the terrain details, the overall framework has not changed. "

The same as before? Yang Qi couldn't help but have many questions in his mind. Could it be that there are still many such secret cave bases? What exactly does the Bai family want to do?

Hollowing out a mountain is a lot of work.

What on earth does the Bai family want to do with such a large vacant lot?

Bai Yuxin did not respond to the black-clothed man's words with any extra expression, but just glanced at the black-clothed man out of the corner of his eye.

Under the illumination of the Night Pearl, the figure of the man in black became clearer. Now, Yang Qi was sure of the man's identity. He was handsome, but also a little gloomy. Wasn't he the fifth prince?

In the past few months, Yang Qi was sent to Xiaoyu Manor by Song Hongwen. Although he had good adaptability and lived a good life in Xiaoyu Manor, he could not avoid being discussed by the government and some people, and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

It was Song Hongwen's own order to send Yang Qi to Xiaoyu Zhuang, but Yang Qi had no ability to resist. It was like a knife hanging over the head of a filial son. Yang Qi had experienced the bitterness and difficulty of this.
