Prince Zhen's mansion was empty, General Qu entered without any effort.
General Qu went deep into the secret passage and came to the place where the trap was last time. There was a thick layer of embroidery on the iron chain on the trap. General Qu touched it with his hand and felt a trace of moisture. But how could there be water in this tunnel
General Qu felt bad, tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes, and wiped the rusty iron chain, the iron chain was very fragile, General Qu hurriedly stopped, but it was a step too late.
"Click." With a sound, the iron chain has been broken, and this iron chain is connected to the mechanism!
"Not good." General Qu hurriedly searched for the place where King Zhen and His Majesty the Queen closed the organ last time, but no matter what General Qu did, he could only hear the sound of the organ's movement. General Qu almost broke out in a sweat.
Of course, Chang Zhen didn't know how anxious General Qu was, he knew that General Qu was going to close the mechanism, and the mechanism was operating under the moat.
Chang Zhen unconsciously walked into the moat, only to find that the water in the moat was rising again.
"How could this be?" Chang Zhen said in a low voice.
"Just now, old lady, I seem to have heard the moat shake, and then the water in the city began to rise. Is it really because there are monsters under the moat, and the monsters are making waves in the moat again?"
"How could it be, old woman, don't think too much about it." Chang Zhen comforted.
"Hey, if it wasn't for the old lady, I would be in poor health. The old lady would really like to go into the water and see what happened." The old woman said regretfully.
The words of the old woman gave Chang Zhen a flash of consciousness, she knew that the water in the moat was not good, maybe she jumped into the water to find out what happened underneath.
Chang Zhen thought so, and jumped into the water.
"It's not good, some people can't think about it and are diving into the water." The old woman shouted at the top of her voice, but these Chang Zhen couldn't hear her anymore.
She dived down to take a look, and found that the mechanism under the moat was indeed activated, so the water on the moat began to rise continuously. The mechanism in the moat was very delicate. After swimming in the water, Chang Zhen suspected that the mechanism was actually closed. The place is at the bottom of the moat.
Chang Zhen got out of the water to inhale, jumped into the moat again, dived down to search for a long time, and found a way to close the mechanism, there is a strange part of the underground mechanism, it is in the shape of a crown, and there is flowing water around the crown , but there is no crown there,
Chang Zhen used all her strength to smash the palace, only to see that the mechanism that had been running at high speed suddenly stopped, and Chang Zhen in the water could not feel whether the water in the city had dropped, and when she was about to surface, from Suddenly, a huge vortex gushed out of the mechanism base cloth.
Chang Zhen felt bad, and ran away quickly, but was still involved in the vortex that rolled out from the moat,
General Qu studied the mechanism carefully in the underground tunnel, and found that the water in the moat was gradually spreading, and realized that the location of the mechanism might not be in the tunnel. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly found that the mechanism on the wall started to move in the opposite direction.
The mechanism stopped.
"Why did it stop suddenly? Could it be that something happened at the moat?" General Qu asked suspiciously.
Even so, the mechanism stopped, and General Qu was both surprised and happy. He carefully observed the wall of the secret passage, and slowly walked out of the secret passage. After General Qu left the underground tunnel, he returned to the inn and searched around, but he couldn't find Chang Zhen.
"Where has this girl gone?" General Qu said helplessly.
General Qu waited at the inn for a long time, but he didn't wait for Chang Zhen to come back, he was a little worried that something happened to Chang Zhen.
The sky was getting dark, General Qu couldn't help asking around for Chang Zhen's whereabouts.
"Have you heard that a girl jumped from the moat today?" said a commoner.
"That girl is very strange. She jumped into the water after standing on the moat for a long time. It's really inexplicable." Another commoner said.
General Qu paused as he walked, and listened attentively to what the two men said about a woman who jumped into the moat.
General Qu was startled, and hurried to the moat.
A man said regretfully, "That little girl is young, but she is only in her early twenties, and she is also beautiful. How can she be so hard to think about it..."
From the person's description, General Qu can be sure that it is Chang Zhen.
General Qu wanted to go into the water to find Chang Zhen, but was stopped by the crowd. The man who spoke just now said: "You can't think about it, you jump into this moat, and you don't want to get out."
"Don't stop me, you are looking for your daughter." General Qu said anxiously.
At this time, an old man appeared, walked up to the general and stroked his beard with a "hehe" smile.
The old man said something that he didn't know what it was. Walking into the crowd, I don't know where to go. Who is this old man? Does he know where Changqin was washed by the water of the Chengchi River? But where is Chang Qin going
General Qu wanted to ask something just now, but the old man didn't know what to say.
Chang Zhen passed out after spinning in the vortex for a long time. When she woke up, she found herself leaning on the water. Chang Qin looked around and didn't know where she was, as if she was in a cave. Chang Qin took out the knife he was carrying and dug a few times into the wall. The soil was brown mixed with red, which is the color of the land of Southern Chu, and he felt that he should still be in the territory of Southern Chu.
"Huh, huh, I came out, but..." Standing on the top of the tree, King Zhen muttered to himself, looking at the minister who was left in the formation, a little worried.
"Hmph, I'm really capable since you escaped." Her Majesty the Queen smiled softly, standing on the stone pillar of the city wall. Although King Zhen went out, the surviving soldiers and ministers were trapped inside, "If you don't want to take care of the lives of those ministers who support you, then go away."
"Is this trying to coerce me?" King Zhen retracted the fierce sword in his hand to his back, which was a habit of hiding the edge.
"Don't say it so harshly, how can I be so despicable?" Her Majesty pushed the fan away from her hand.
"Then remove the formation, let them go, and fight to the death." King Zhen scratched his hair with the other hand, not afraid of Her Majesty at all, "Why do we have to involve others in the matter between us."
"Let go? Just kidding. They are going to die, and you are going to die here today. You are going to die, why should you threaten me?" Her Majesty the Queen glanced at the surviving people in the formation.
"That's not okay?" King Zhen's eyes flashed sharply, as if he was fighting to the death. The roots of blood in King Zhen's pupils gradually bulged, and he held the sword in his right hand in front of his chest. It was a backhand sword. Your Majesty the Queen was shocked when he saw the way King Zhen held the knife. When did King Zhen learn to use the backhand sword
