Such an important thing, how dare the guards do it.
So Li Cheng looked at the third prince. If the third prince didn't speak, he might not dare to get this map, so he couldn't afford it.
Of course, apart from the third prince, it also depends on what Prince Qing thinks. Yan Guo was originally involved in this matter, so naturally he had to ask people for their opinions.
The third prince frowned and pondered for a while, thinking of Li Chengze's cleverness, he can always think of places that others can't think of, and he must be sure to say this in his heart, after all, no one dares to make fun of this map, for no reason If you break the map, you will be punished.
So the third prince said: "You take it apart."
After saying that, the third prince turned his head to look at Prince Qing, and said, "What does the prince mean?"
What can Prince Qing do? The three princes agreed, and besides, they are indeed in a situation where they can't find their way.
The man kept walking after he brought them into the mountain. At first, he saw a place that looked like an entrance on a map. Unexpectedly, he made a mistake when he walked in. The road conditions were exactly the same, and he couldn't follow the route on the map at all.
Right now, Li Cheng seemed to have discovered something, why did he object? Anyway, even if no useful information is found in the end, the map can be used.
So Prince Qing nodded.
In this way, the guard got the order and took the map, and Li Cheng handed him the dragon and phoenix dagger.
The dragon and phoenix dagger blows hair and breaks hair, the size is just right, and it is definitely much easier to use than the guard's own long knife.
The two people put the map flat on the ground, pulled the map tightly, and then one of them used the dragon and phoenix dagger to slowly roll and divide the thin sheepskin bit by bit.
Fortunately, there is this dragon and phoenix dagger, otherwise it may not be possible to separate this thing.
Originally, the guard had a dignified face, but he was relieved after attacking. The dragon and phoenix dagger was much easier to use than he had imagined.
With the last cracking sound, the sheepskin scroll was completely separated and became two pieces.
The third prince, Lord Diyan, grabbed one side at the same time, held it in front of his eyes, and his eyes were full of surprises.
"Sure enough, there is a mystery! So the real map is inside!" The third prince's voice was full of excitement, but his face changed in the next second, "A piece is missing?"
Others looked over and saw a blank bar in the middle of the map.
Prince Qing said in a deep voice, "It's the same with mine."
The third prince subconsciously went to see Li Chengze and asked, "Chengze, what's the reason?"
Li Cheng was not surprised, his expression was still the same, he just said: "You have a charcoal pencil."
Of course they brought it, not just this, because it was not easy to go to Yu'er Mountain, they brought a lot of things, all of which might be used.
Soon a guard brought things to him, and found a large flat and smooth stone on which he could write and draw.
"Dragon and Phoenix Dagger." Li Cheng continued.
The guard handed the dragon and phoenix dagger to him again.
Everyone was staring at him to see what he was going to do.
I saw Li Cheng pull out the dragon and phoenix dagger from the scabbard, put it flat in front of his eyes, looked at the dragon pattern on the side, and began to draw on the paper, back and forth, within a quarter of an hour, the paper appeared a map.
Everyone's eyes widened, not knowing how he drew it.
Before he had time to get a sense of it, Li Cheng finished painting this side, changed another side, and continued painting facing the phoenix pattern.
Finally, when the drawing was finished, two topographic maps appeared on the two sheets of paper.
The dragon and phoenix dagger was returned to Prince Qing, and Li Cheng pointed to the two pictures and said, "This is the missing part of the two parchment scrolls."
The third prince and Lord Qing were looking at that part of the map.
Both were very curious, and asked at the same time: "How did you draw it?"
Prince Qing didn't believe in evil, so he pulled out the dragon and phoenix dagger and looked at it repeatedly. No matter how he looked, he couldn't see the two missing parts of the map on it.
Li Cheng sighed inwardly, and said, "Don't look at the black dragon pattern, just look at the white area."
This is the visual surprise caused by the color. For example, in a picture, in people's eyes, the dark part will automatically move forward, and the light part will retreat.
For the body of the dragon and phoenix dagger of Summer Rescue, the dragon and phoenix pattern covering the whole body is black. Naturally, when people put their eyes on it, it seems that there are only these two dragons and phoenixes left on the dagger.
But if you ignore the black part and only look at the white part, you will find that the place you ignored before is actually a topographic map. The only white abdomen on the dragon's body is no longer the abdomen, but also a topographic map.
The third prince and Lord Qing followed Li Chengze's instructions and looked at it again. This time, they really saw something better.
"It's actually true, Cheng Ze is indeed a great talent! It's strange that Father Emperor must come with you."
Li Cheng then said: "The third prince is absurd, and the grassroots dare not be."
The third prince smiled loudly, and patted Li Chengze's shoulder affectionately, "You are quick-witted and intelligent, and you have made great achievements. I will tell my father when I go back."
The fifth prince also admired Li Chengze very much, and nodded in agreement.
After a while, he couldn't help but walk to Li Chengze, and asked, "How did you think the map was not real at first? It was also related to the dragon and phoenix dagger. If my king remembers correctly, you must have been in close range before." Have you ever seen a dragon and phoenix dagger?"
Li Cheng pondered for a while, before saying: "Guess, the piece of different shades on the original map is very similar to the handle of a dagger. What do you think it reminds people of? Naturally, it comes from the same place. Dragon and Phoenix Dagger."
The fifth prince was silent for a while, and said in his heart, except you, none of us thought of it.
—
To make up for the missing part on the parchment, the third prince ordered someone to simply draw the topographical map on the parchment on the paper as it was, and add the part that came down from the dragon and phoenix dagger.
After waiting for almost half an hour, they finished drawing the map without any mistakes.
Now that I think about it carefully, this thing has always been linked together.
First of all, the people of Yan State obtained two lion-like beasts by accident, one was easy to open, and there was a dragon and phoenix dagger inside, and the other had a very complicated mechanism lock, and it took five years for the people of Yan State to even fail to open it. Only then did it have a chance to be sent to Daye.
Until he met Li Chengze, a genius who is proficient in numerology.
Then he took out the parchment map and guided them to Yulian Mountain.
When they entered the mountain, they found that no, the route was completely wrong, and they couldn't find the place at all.
If it wasn't for Li Chengze, perhaps they would never have guessed that this very hard-to-obtain map was a fake.
Of course, it cannot be said that it is a fake, but it is really hidden on the other side, and there is still a part missing that is on the dragon and phoenix dagger.
No matter which one of them has a problem, or can't solve it, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the location of the secret room on the map in the end.
So speaking of it, Li Chengze deserves the most credit here.
Without him, they are afraid that sooner or later they will return without success.
The third prince admired him very much. In fact, he had seen him before, and he also knew that Li Cheng would write novels, which were all the rage in Beijing at that time, and he is quite famous now, although he only wrote two novels in total.
To avoid causing trouble, the third prince naturally pretended not to know Li Cheng at first. After all, Li Cheng married the young lady of the Gu family and was the uncle of the Gu family. Now that the Crown Prince is established, none of the adult princes will keep an eye on him, no matter whether you have the intention or not, it will be bad if the Emperor suspects you.
Shaking off the complicated thoughts in my heart, I took a new map and started again.
Walking back and forth in the deep mountains, following the map around.
For some reason, their luck was surprisingly good. They have never encountered a single beast after they have been here for so long.
Perhaps it was because they were all sprinkled with animal repelling certificates. The animal repelling certificates were assigned by their accompanying imperial physicians. Li Cheng thought that the imperial physicians in the palace really had some skills.
Occasionally, a few small animals bumped into them, and before the guards raised their arrows, they quickly ran away by themselves.
The only animal that was relatively fierce and large was a wild boar, which rushed out quickly, and was then dealt with by the guards with a continuous crossbow.
This time I didn't find the wrong way, and when I found the cave, the time had already passed.
The cave door is hidden behind a large hanging wisteria.
The tangled wisteria is like a waterfall, spectacular and beautiful.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect to be in this place.
Entering from behind clusters of flowering vines, the guard obeyed the instructions and scraped open the dirt wall with a big knife for half an hour, revealing all the stone wall doors inside.
None of the people present was not excited.
Sure enough, there is another mechanism to enter the door, and it is still a math problem.
Everyone looked at Li Chengze.
Li Cheng picked up the charcoal pencil and calculated silently on the paper with a blank face.
Figured out the answer and turned a few turns on a raised switch on the wall.
With a sound of "bang", the stone door slowly opened...
The third prince gave an order, "Go in."
The guards were in front, and they were behind, and they walked in together.
…
Gu Qingci was anxiously waiting at home and couldn't sit still. The two servant girls saw that she was in a bad mood, but they didn't know why.
While thinking that this lady likes to eat iced milk and iced cheese, she walked over and asked, "Madam, would you like to eat some iced ones, servant girl to ask the kitchen to make a bowl?"
Usually Gu Qingci is greedy for ice, but now she has no thoughts at all, and she doesn't want to eat at all.
Frowning, he shook his head and said, "No need, my husband won't let me eat more ice, I don't need you to serve me here, so go outside and have a look, is the prince back?"
Fortunately, Li Cheng didn't make Gu Qingci restless all night, and the group finally came back when it was nearly You hour.
As soon as Gu Qingci saw someone, he pulled him to look him up and down. Seeing that Li Chengze was doing well, his heart fell into his stomach, but he was still wronged: "It's getting dark, why did my husband come back, I'm so worried."
Where can we stay in the mountains at night
Li Cheng knew what she was afraid of, squeezed her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we went out of the mountain before dark, and we didn't encounter any danger."
The two entered the inner room to talk, Gu Qingci asked softly: "Did you find anything?"
Li Cheng smiled and nodded.
Gu Qingci was overjoyed, "That means we can go back soon, right?"
"That's right," Li Cheng sighed, "The next thing is for the third prince to be busy. As a husband, just stay with my officials, okay?"
