Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

Because of this fake friendship, Lei Laowai had to betray his old master and take a new "partner" to overthrow King Han's lair.

Along the way, he persisted in persuading: "My lord, we are in the open and they are in the dark. We will suffer if we fight. Besides, if these mice who have been underground for more than ten years really escape, we are not familiar with the place where we live." , how could it be found!"

"Isn't there a mouse spirit like you?" Xiao Beicheng disapprovingly held a cigarette stick in his mouth, and habitually passed over the candlelight. He smoked the sparkling tobacco and pointed to the chaotic suburban forest outside the car window.

"You have worked for King Han for so many years, and if you can help him crack those weird traps, you can help this king avoid the traps that threaten his life. Lei Laowai, this king knows that you are not a villain, and you can still do things with your conscience. .”

"Ha, villain, do you have a conscience..." Lei Laowai repeated these two words over and over again, as if he was listening to some joke.

"What are you smirking at, shut up, you!"

"I'm just joking. I've robbed dead people, helped living people kill people, and almost killed people with my own hands. Isn't it ridiculous that the prince actually said that I'm not a wicked person?"

"If you are really hopeless, you won't have to shave your head until now. Unlike other criminals, you have your own beliefs in your heart, which have not changed until now. This is my king's promise to you to be a new man The reason for the opportunity." Xiao Beicheng paused, then continued: "I hope you won't disappoint me."

Only he and Lei Laowai knew the meaning of these words. The latter savored it carefully for a long time, finally cleared away the cloud, relaxed his frowning, and smiled.

Shen Ci looked at the two of them inexplicably, unable to understand what kind of riddle this was, and only heard the explanation from Xiao Beicheng afterwards: "Before this king mentioned something, Lei Laowai always felt that he had shaved his head. It was an unintentional act. I never realized that it was because I remembered the kindness of the old monk that I unconsciously imitated the appearance of that person when he was alive... Or I accidentally found that difficult but imitated— Memories of my childhood."

Xiao Beicheng aroused all the positive emotions in Lei Laowai's heart, including respect and love for the old monk, and affection for the innocent family members, and he made up his mind to help King Jin succeed.

He got out of the carriage and led the crowd to the depths of the suburban forest. He found a huge boulder that was concealed with ease, pushed it hard, and lifted it up. He pointed to the deep and narrow corridor below: "My lord, this is one of the entrances." .”

It is impossible to have only one entrance and exit in such a huge underground mausoleum. Moreover, King Han and his cronies have lived underground for more than ten years without showing up. There must be multiple secondary vents, so they did not suffocate them collectively in the tomb. under.

Xiao Beicheng took a closer look, rubbed his fingers against the thick dust accumulated on the steps, and found that although the carvings on these steps seemed rough, they were indeed engraved with patterns.

He was just about to step forward to find out, when he suddenly heard a crackling sound in his ears, not only him, but also his personal guards seemed to have noticed it, they all looked around to find the source of the sound, until Xiao Beicheng patted Shenci , the soft ringing stopped.

——It turned out that this kid was so superstitious that he frightened himself, and even his teeth chattered because of fear.

Xiao Beicheng has nothing to do with him. He really feels that his face has been completely humiliated by him. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, he heard Shen Ci muttering in a low voice: "My lord... the neighborhood is haunted, should we Or change, another place?"

Xiao Beicheng felt very helpless. Shen Ci lost his parents since he was a child, and was brought up by old maids. These old people in the princess mansion used to be maids serving the eldest princess, and they like to gossip about the gossip in the palace when they have nothing to do. , or tell some weird stories and strange things. When I was a child, I used to tell Shenci to sleep with ghost stories, so that Shenci is still superstitious and timid.

But also because of this, he knows all about the ghosts in the capital, and he can say a thing or two casually.

"My lord, this place has been haunted by ghosts before. It is said that when our Emperor Taizu entered the palace city, he once pushed down an earth fairy temple here. Since then, strange things have happened again and again. Originally, we planned to expand the palace city. It also had to be stopped. The old master said that under the Immortal Temple there is a divine dragon that calls the wind and rain, can decide the change of dynasties, and the history advances. If it is not happy, it will eat people!"

Xiao Beicheng has also heard this legend. It is said that it is because of this reason that the east and west sides of the palace city were asymmetrical in the early years. I don’t know which expert came to the palace to have an audience and told the emperor that this layout destroyed the feng shui of the capital and would affect To the blessings of future generations, it took several efforts to persuade Xianzong to repair it when he ascended the throne.

It's a pity that the statues of the gods and gods at that time did not know where they were lost, and there was no way to rebuild the temple, so they had to restore the expanded part of the year to its original state.

Due to the emperor's attention, rumors of the Dixian Temple gradually spread. According to folklore, it is not a dragon that is suppressed under the temple, but a dragon trapped by an expert many years ago to suppress the restless souls of the underworld. If there is no restraint, the demons and ghosts in the underworld will rush into the mortal world and kill creatures. The former Dixian Temple was the entrance from the ghost world to the mortal world, so that people were frightened by the news, and no one dared to approach this place for many years.

Xiao Beicheng only thought it was groundless, and never cared about it. Now that he thinks about it, it must be the nonsense that King Han let out in order not to be disturbed. He probably didn't even think of it, but there are still people who believe it today.

"If you talk nonsense again, you will be the first to be thrown down to feed the dragon." Xiao Beicheng slapped Shen Ci on the forehead, and whispered threats in the latter's ear: "Don't talk about retreating before the battle, and dare to disturb the morale of the army. Let's see how I deal with it when I go back. you."

Shen Ci was so frightened that he stood at attention on the spot, and his whole body tensed up, not daring to say any more.Xiao Beicheng swept away the ready-to-go guards, and secretly rejoiced that he was strict in running the army on weekdays, and no one was shaken by Shen Ci's nonsense.

——Actually, the most important reason is that everyone knows that Shen Ci has a child-like temperament, and they all dote on him like a younger brother, so they naturally treat him as a "children".

"How big is the space below? If the king leads his troops down to confront King Han, how sure is he of winning?"

Xiao Beicheng visited the underground palace once before to save the gentleman. Although he didn't see the whole picture, he could guess that the scale is not small. This statement is to test Lei Laowai, and also to estimate the chance of winning.

The other party squeezed his mouse eyes and was quite embarrassed, "...with all due respect, it's less than ten percent."

Although it is not pleasant to listen to, it is the truth.

Underground combat usually requires a high degree of familiarity with the terrain, as well as a keen insight to identify the location through sound in the darkness where the eyes cannot see. The Royal Guards are indeed elite, but the possibility of winning in this case is almost zero.

Xiao Beicheng sighed, raised his eyes to look at the sunny sky, but had no choice but to repeat the old trick.

"I hope this nest of rats that are afraid of death can be smoked out before dark."

Regarding the feasibility of this plan, Lei Laowai was skeptical: "My lord, the underground palace below is much bigger than you think. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is as big as the entire palace city, but it is not like the hole I dug in the dungeon." , Burning two pieces of firewood can force the people underneath out, can you... can you do it?"

"It's not enough to rely on this alone." Xiao Beicheng took out a piece of dry grass from the arms of the busy Shen Ci, wrapped it between his knuckle fingers, and weaved the grass leaves into a knot.

He focused on his work without raising his head, and smiled meaningfully: "Don't think that we are the only ones who are busy, some people are not idle right now..."

At the same time, Li Ying, who was guarding the mourning hall, covered his face with his sleeves, yawned secretly, rubbed his haggard face, and glanced past the princes kneeling on the east and west sides one by one.

——Xiao Junhan, the eldest son of the emperor, was brought up as an heir without knowing it. He has a paranoid personality and is good at forbearance. It can be said that he is not a pleasant boy, but he is always respectful to Li Ying. Passable.

And Xiao Junze, who was put out by Emperor Yuan as a guise to block the gun, is also the current Prince of the East Palace. For some reason, he was terrified to death when he saw Li Ying since he was a child. Because of the death of the Queen Mother, he was so panicked that he begged to see his father. Being rejected for the first time, I guess I'm already thinking about how many days I can wear that boa robe.

These two teenagers, even the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who were kneeling outside the mourning hall, did not know the news of Emperor Yuan's death. As one of the "treacherous ministers" who decided to keep the funeral secret, Li Ying already expected that he would be nailed to the throne of history soon. The scene of being scolded by the world on the pillar of shame, when he is a hundred years old, I am afraid that he will not dare to face the father under the spring who will scold "an animal who has insulted the family!"

He heard limping footsteps gradually, and when he looked up, it was indeed Liu Yuqing.

The gaze the other party cast on him was calm as expected, and the gesture was exactly what they had agreed upon—that person, here he comes.

Li Ying covered the velvet blanket on his legs tighter, and gave some instructions to the servant who was carefully serving behind him, and the servant pushed him to the back door where Liu Yuqing came.

When the two rubbed shoulders, there was no exchange of words, not even an extra glance. Li Ying was pushed straight out of the door of the Compassionate Palace by the servant, and when he saw the tall and straight man with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, He habitually greeted him with a polite and hypocritical smile.

"General Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days, miss me, don't you?"

Lu Suifeng approached with a smile on his face, and stood in front of Li Ying, the servant had to stop to avoid the two of them bumping into each other, but the other party had no intention of stopping, and was about to stick to him any further, The little servant was scared for a moment, so he took half a step back, but Lu Suifeng bent down and pressed the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, leaving Li Ying nowhere to hide.

"What are you talking about, Li Xiang, who do you think I am? I was supported and cared for by the Empress Dowager. When she passed away, I would come to offer my condolences."

Li Ying remained calm in the face of danger, raised his head and met Shang Lu Suifeng's eyes full of murderous intent, and smiled unabated: "You know what I say best, don't play dumb with me, condolences for the deceased do not go to the mourning hall to pay homage, you have to go around A large circle of people came to meet me privately at the back door——Lu, Sui, Feng, General.”

The author has something to say: Master Xiang, who learned how to speak coquettishly, began to let himself go.
