Chapter 616 - 616 Shi Qingluo turned herself in
616 Shi Qingluo turned herself in
The princess from the previous dynasty smiled at him.
“Of course it can be opened.”
Then, she changed the topic.
“However, if you open it by force, you will trigger the mechanism. When that happens, no one standing here will be able to survive.”
Her voice was gentle and soft, but it made others shudder.
Liang Yujun remained silent.
As expected, it was not easy to open a treasure.
He continued to look at the princess from the previous dynasty with tender eyes.
“Greatly appreciate your help. After we enter, your people can choose the treasures first.”
The princess from the previous dynasty replied gently, “Alright, then I’ll thank you in advance.”
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard footsteps behind them.
There were torches all around them, so they saw Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo being escorted in.
Liang Yujun raised an eyebrow at the two of them. “You’re actually going to let yourselves be captured just like that? ”
He didn’t hear any fighting sounds from above.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “We’re just here to join in the fun. We’re not here to steal the treasure.”
Shi Qingluo nodded in agreement. “That’s right. We’ve never seen the treasure before. We’re here to take a look. Of course, there’s no need for us to fight and kill.”
Liang Yujun laughed. “That’s a pretty good excuse.”
“Alright, since you all want to see it, I will be kind enough to bring you there.”
They were all experts, and Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo would not be able to escape from him without other people’s help.
However, what was somewhat unexpected was that capturing these two people happened too smoothly.
He didn’t even use the backup plan he had originally arranged.
He guessed that the two of them might have seen the great disparity in strength, so they tactfully surrendered.
It was like a punch landing on cotton. It was a little boring.
The princess from the previous dynasty glanced at Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo and chuckled, “I’ve long heard of the two of you, finally we’ve met!”
Xiao Hanzheng did not say anything. Shi Qingluo looked at the princess from head to toe and said, ” I’ve also heard of you for a long time.”
Judging from the princess’s temperament, she was an ambitious and scheming woman who presented herself as pure, innocent and ignorant.
Liang Yujun was speechless. Is that what you would do when you knew of someone for a long time?
The princess from the previous dynasty was stunned, clearly not expecting Shi Qingluo to say this.
She gave a meaningful smile. “Your courage is really admirable, princess. You’re a prisoner now, but you can still be so calm.”
Shi Qingluo shrugged her shoulders. “What else could I have done? Cry and beg you?”
“Princess, do you want to hear me beg for mercy?” she asked again.
The princess from the previous dynasty raised her eyebrows. “Why don’t you ask for one? ”
Shi Qingluo immediately raised her hand and gestured with her orchid fingers. In a coquettish voice, she said, “Your Highness, I didn’t mean to join in the fun. I was wrong, please forgive me.”
Those present were speechless.
They wanted to poke their own eyes.
Liang Yujun was lost for words.
Shi Qingluo really knew how to play. What the hell was this?
The princess from the previous dynasty was speechless.
She didn’t know why, but she felt disgusted.
Shi Qingluo’s actions were really hard to explain in a few words.
Only Xiao Hanzheng’s cold eyes were filled with a smile, and Shi Qingluo surrendered herself.
Shi Qingluo saw the princess’s expression as if she had eaten something from an unknown source, “Are you satisfied, princess? Do you want me to do it again?”
The princess from the previous dynasty was speechless. Do it again my ass.
She glanced at Shi Qingluo and ordered the people around her, “Tie theirs hands up.”
She had originally wanted to take a closer look at Shi Qingluo’s expression to fish for information, but now, she was completely lost in thought.
She did not object to Prince Jin bringing the two of them in.
However, she had heard that Xiao Hanzheng was highly skilled in martial arts, and so was Shi Qingluo.
It was easy for accidents to happen if they were detained like this.
She had always been cautious, so it was better to tie them up.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo did not resist.
They even stretched out their hands and let their hands be tied up with ropes.
The princess from the previous dynasty and Liang Yujun were both speechless.
What exactly were these two people here for?
Were they really just here to join in the fun? They felt that something was wrong!
However, regardless of whether it was Prince Jin or the princess from the previous dynasty, they were confident in their own plans and the people they had brought along.
He was not afraid of their tricks. The two of them could not do anything with such a strong disparity in strength and manpower.
At this moment, the iron gate was completely opened.
Liang Yujun and the others’ attention was also focused on the door.
This time, Liang Yujun and the previous dynasty’s princess did not choose to lead the way in, but instead let their subordinates do it.
At the same time, they also brought a few experts at breaking traps.
After they entered, the princess from the previous dynasty took out a map of traps and handed it to them. “Turn off all these traps first.”
They studied the drawing for a while, then carefully walked forward, compared the drawing with the wall, found the mechanism, and turned it off.
The princess from the previous dynasty even got a group of people to walk in front of these people.
One of them accidentally touched the side, causing countless arrows to shoot out from the front, killing more than half of those standing in front.
The princess from the previous dynasty appeared to be gentle, but she ordered her people to capture the trap master who made the mistake and kill him.
Her voice was cold. “I don’t want anyone to make any more mistakes and harm everyone.”
The remaining trap masters nodded hurriedly and respectfully. “Yes!”
Then, they continued to lead the path with the switches.
Be it Liang Yujun or Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, none of them were surprised by how this matter progressed.
They had already guessed that the treasure would not be easy to take.
It would be strange if there were no traps.
As expected, other than the treasure map, the princess from the previous dynasty also had a detailed map of the mechanisms’ layout.
Liang Yujun once again rejoiced that he had worked with the princess from the previous dynasty.
Otherwise, if he had found this location without a blueprint, who knew how many lives he would have had to sacrifice to break through these mechanisms?
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng looked at each other and saw the smile in their eyes.
Naturally, they had been caught on purpose.
At the same time, Xiao Hanzheng also carefully memorized the position of each mechanism and the way to deactivate it.
He had a feeling that this would definitely be useful.
This was also one of the reasons why he and his wife had taken the initiative to surrender and follow them in.
No one made any mistakes after that, but everyone followed behind with fear.
Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty had full protections from the experts.
There were torches on the walls, so the path was well-lit as they walked.
Everyone also realized that the road was paved with bluestone that was covered with moss on both sides.
There was nothing else other than the torches.
The mechanism was either behind the torch or in front of it.
The trap masters checked the map and walked carefully.
It was obvious that the map had instructions.
Otherwise, if one of them stepped on the wrong bluestone before deactivating the trap, he would trigger the trap first.
Xiao Hanzheng took note of all these while constantly calculating the patterns in his mind.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, everyone finally reached the end of the route.
Then, they found another iron door. It still used the same key, but this time, the position of the lock and the mechanism had changed.
If the previous dynasty’s princess had not followed them and taken the initiative to open it, it would have been very troublesome for both Prince Jin and Xiao Hanzheng to come and find the treasure.
