"Great, we achieved our goal by mistake. Miss Kou, please take a look, is this secret technique difficult to learn?" Zhu Xiuyuan said.

"Sir, I think it only takes me half an hour to learn the method of passing on the wormwood." Kou Wanwan said after looking at it for a while.

"So fast?"

"Yes, my mother-in-law taught me something when I was very young. At that time, I was extremely reluctant to learn and thought it was useless..."

"Now I finally understand the mother-in-law's painstaking efforts..."

"What you learned when you were a child is related to the method of passing on the cultivator?" Zhu Xiuyuan guessed.

"exactly."

"Very good, then you learn quickly, and we will search carefully to see if we can find the exit."

So everyone divided their work and acted.

Kou Wanwan took the time to study the contents of the booklet.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others carefully searched for the exit of the secret room.

Half an hour later.

"Sir, I learned it!" Kou Wanwan closed the booklet with a smile on her face, as if she had picked up thousands of dollars on the road.

at the same time.

In the residences of hereditary native officials in various prefectures and counties in central Guizhou.

Those hereditary governors, no matter what they were doing at the moment, whether they were drinking tea, reading, eating, or hugging women, they all shuddered at the same time and remained motionless for a moment.

Then he frowned and stood up.

They all dropped what they were doing just now...

In the secret room.

Zhu Xiuyuan said: "That's great. Unexpectedly, by a strange combination of circumstances, we actually completed the second step of our plan. Unfortunately, we searched for half an hour and still couldn't find the exit."

Hearing this, Yan Dashan and others were also a little discouraged.

However, the smile on Kou Wanwan's face did not diminish, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, this booklet not only records the method of passing on the cultivator, but also the method of getting out, as well as the map of the entire secret passage in the back mountain!"

"oh!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and others immediately cheered up.

"In that case, let's get out quickly. We still don't know what's going on with the generals above."

"Um."

Kou Wanwan took out a delicate handkerchief from her body, wrapped the booklet, and hid it close to her body. Then she walked to a tree branch-shaped candlestick, raised her bare hands, grabbed a candlestick, and lifted it up gently.

Click click click.

A deafening sound came from above.

It was also accompanied by falling dust and fine sand.

Everyone gathered together and backed away, then looked up.

At the top corner of the secret room, a stone slab slowly shrank, and wisps of firelight shone through the open door.

"Master Hou!"

"Is it Mr. Hou?"

"..."

At the same time, the shouts of many people came in, which should be the generals who followed them into the secret passage.

Soon, the clicking sound disappeared.

The stone slab above the head also shrank, revealing a large hole.

Through the hole, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others saw burning torches and anxious and frightened faces, which were the generals of the Hou Mansion.

"It's really the Marquis and the others!" The generals breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others are also preparing to go up.

From the ground to the ceiling, it is about two feet high, but this height is not difficult for Kou Wanwan and Dashan and the others. They are all masters and can easily climb up.

Among them, only Zhu Xiuyuan found it difficult to climb up.

But fortunately we have ropes with us at home...

After a while, everyone left the underground secret room one after another and stepped onto the upper secret passage.

"It's finally here." Zhu Xiuyuan sighed.

Kou Wanwan casually pressed somewhere on the wall, and the retracted stone slab popped out again, sealing the exit of the secret room.

Obviously, after reading the booklet, Kou Wanwan already understood the structure of the entire secret passage.

"The secret method has been learned, and Miss Kou is also familiar with the structure of the secret passage, so we don't have to fumble around anymore. After this, I think everyone is a little tired, so why not exit the secret passage first, take a rest, and

Let’s discuss the next plan.”

Zhu Xiuyuan said.

Kou Wanwan and everyone else nodded in agreement.

So everyone exited the secret passage along the original path.

The sunshine outside is a bit dazzling.

Everyone found a place to sit in the shade of a tree, took out their water bottles, drank water, and ate some solid food.

"Right now, 8,000 Tibetan soldiers are besieging the main entrance of Qingquan Palace. I think senior sisters and the others are also tired of coping. We should follow the original plan and enter the interior of Qingquan Palace through the secret passage." Kou Wanwan said.

"Well, then all of us will enter the secret passage. We have five hundred generals, as well as your two hundred men, and suddenly enter the Qingquan Palace. We should be able to subdue your senior sister and the others."

"By the way, what kind of person is your senior sister? Is it easy to deal with? The generals also carry some firecrackers with them, which should be able to scare people." Zhu Xiuyuan said.

"My senior sister... Hey, we are here for the position of palace master. I am afraid there will be a battle between me and my senior sister!" Kou Wanwan was a little sad.

"Do you have a good relationship with your senior sister?"

“Not very good.”

"Her personality is not similar to that of your second senior sister, right?"

"The senior sister is different from the second senior sister. She is dedicated to rebuilding Qingquan Palace and wants to restore the grandeur of Qingquan Palace hundreds of years ago."

"So since the King of Shaozhou rebelled and no one in central Guizhou suppressed him, senior sister thought that the opportunity had come..."

"But the actual situation is much more complicated. Because the poison has been lost and the method of passing on the poison has not been revealed, Qingquan Palace can no longer restrain the hereditary local officials in the central Guizhou states."

"In addition to the Tusi King of the West Lingnan Road, the Dali Kingdom in the far west, the Liang Kingdom in the north, and the current Dabo, various forces have appeared..."

"By the way, Miss Kou, I have always had a doubt. After all, you and your senior sister are both from Qingquan Palace, so why did she tell the truth about the black jade key in your hand?"

"You are senior sisters, you should help each other."

Zhu Xiuyuan was confused, Dong Shuzhen and others also looked at Kou Wanwan.

"Because my senior sister and I have different ideas." Kou Wanwan said: "My senior sister is determined to reorganize Qingquan Palace, obtain the method of passing on the cultivator, restrain the hereditary local officials in various prefectures and counties in central Guizhou, and drive away the Tibetan people."

"Senior sister's idea is that the land in central Guizhou is no longer dependent on anyone, or suppressed by anyone. Senior sister wants the land in central Guizhou to be on par with Liang, Chenyan and other countries."

"Restore the Kingdom of Guizhou?" Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised.

"No, probably...senior sister, she wants to be the empress of central Guizhou."

"I see... What do you think, Miss Kou? Do you want to rebuild the Kingdom of Guizhou?"

Kou Wanwan glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "I did have this idea before, but since I met the young master, I no longer have this idea."

"Why is this?" Zhu Xiuyuan felt strange.

"Sir, if the slave family wants to rebuild the country of Guizhou, how will the master act as the observation and disposal envoy of the Central Guizhou Road sent by the Chen Dynasty?" Kou Wanwan asked with a smile.

"If you want to restore the Guizhou Kingdom, I will naturally support it. As for the Chen Kingdom, I have my own way of dealing with it." Zhu Xiuyuan also smiled.
