Chapter 621 It Really Matters
"How do you know this is the territory of the general's mansion?" Shen Yao casually flipped through the things he took out of the box and asked with his head tilted.
Gu Zhaoxi smiled and said, "I don't have any idea. I guessed it."
When asked why he felt that this was the territory of the general's mansion, Gu Chaoxi couldn't explain it, he just felt that this was not a place outside.
Otherwise, it would be unsafe to keep these things here.
Since things can be placed here, to some extent, the person who places the things knows that the things are safe here and will not be taken away by others.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to guess that this range is within the General’s Mansion.
not to mention.
"After all, Ji Ze doesn't know the existence of this tunnel."
Ji Ze, as the person in charge of the Shogun's Mansion, was unaware of the existence of the bunker, and the bunker was connected to this desolate-looking forest.
It's hard not to wonder how many times the young master has sneaked out through the bunker's passage, or what he has done.
“Do you want to take these things with you?” Violet asked.
Pei Yan shook his head and took a look: "It's not necessary, just leave it here, otherwise something might go wrong when the black shadow finds it."
"Guess what I found?" Qi Chuzhao suddenly turned around and looked at the people surrounding the box.
He had a little smile on his face and his hands were behind his back.
Gu Zhaoxi raised her eyes and looked in his direction. She was a little curious about his actions: "What good stuff?"
"That's great." Qi Chuzhao took out something from behind him, a pendant.
He shook it in his hand. It was a jade pendant with green tassels underneath.
It doesn't seem to be anything special, but the key point is that they have seen this pendant in the eldest young master's place.
When looking for the secret door in the eldest young master's room, Qi Chuzhao turned over the eldest young master's table and saw this pendant from the box. He picked it up and showed it to Shen Yao.
He said that the material of this pendant seems to be quite good, and it looks so precious when placed in a box.
Now that he saw one that was exactly the same, he naturally felt happy. This proved that the young master was indeed inseparable from this house and that black shadow.
"Are there any other clues on it?" Gu Chaoxi walked over and took a look at the pendant.
The green jade is carved into a hollow shape, and in the middle there looks like a flying dragon coiled in the air.
The jade is made of very good material. It feels round, silky and even a little warm when held in the palm of your hand.
She turned it over and over twice and saw a small word carved on the inside.
The incision is so shallow that the imperial edict won’t notice it unless you look carefully.
"What is this word?" She frowned and moved closer. She couldn't see clearly what it was, so she turned her head to ask Pei Yan beside her.
He lowered his head and looked carefully for a while, then stood up and touched it uncertainly: "It seems to be the word Sakura, right?"
It looks too compact to be sure, but when thinking about the names of the people in the general's mansion, this is the only word I can come up with.
The last character of the fifth lady’s name.
"It really is related." Gu Zhaoxi sighed, touched Qingyu and murmured to himself: "So is her illness really fake? For what? To avoid other people's suspicion?"
"That's not right. She has been in poor health since she was very young. It's impossible for her to be faking it, unless her health improved later but she had to stay sick for some reason. What was she trying to avoid?"
Her guess deepened further, and she remembered that the third concubine had not allowed her daughter to be raised with her since she was born, and had separated the mother and daughter.
Even though the fifth young lady knew to be nice to her mother when she grew up, there was always a gap between the two of them.
Both of them knew what this hurdle was.
After a while, Gu Chaoxi raised his head, held up the jade, and looked at it in the light for a while.
"It's so similar to the young master's, it can't be a token of love, right?"
After all, the young master's green jade pendant was placed separately in a brocade box, and his other small items were placed in a box, and there was no mention of storing them separately.
"It's hard to say." Pei Yan echoed from the side.
She put the jade down and looked at Qi Chuzhao: "Where did you find this just now?"
"Oh, the head of the bed." Qi Chuzhao turned his head and pointed at the head of the bed that he had lifted up. Almost half of the bedding was folded over.
"I just opened it to take a look, and when I turned over the pillow, I saw this."
It can be placed so casually in this place, under the pillow, it looks like it was just put there casually.
It seems that the fifth young lady does not have much true feelings for the eldest young master.
But this was just a guess, but Gu Chaoxi's lips curled up into a smile, and he immediately stuffed the jade pendant into his arms.
"Qingyu is good. Just take Qingyu to Fifth Sister and you will know."
“Then let’s go back and see where the other road leads to,” Violet asked.
"Okay." Gu Chaoxi nodded and walked out of the cabin with them.
The wind was blowing, and fallen leaves were floating down, falling in front of Gu Chaoxi's eyes, and finally merged into one among thousands of fallen leaves.
Several people returned to the exit they had just come from. The candle they had brought out with them was still half burned out, but they felt it was enough.
Shen Yao took out a match from his pocket, lit the candle, and then jumped down first.
This time the order was reversed, and Pei Yan walked at the end.
After they came down, they closed the board again to cover it and then continued to move forward.
When I returned to the bunker, there was no one inside and no one had been there before, but the black cloak on the chair was still there.
Gu Chaoxi looked around, shrugged his nose, and followed Shen Yao to the other passage.
This passage seemed to be much shorter. In fact, it was not just a little shorter. It stopped before I had walked very far.
The position is facing upwards, but the accessible exit is not pushed upwards, but towards the side.
"Strange, at this distance, why does it feel like a bell tower?" Shen Yao said as he raised his hand to push the stone-like door.
This door is easy to push open and there is not much resistance from the outside.
As the door was pushed open, the space inside gradually became clear.
There seemed to be a beam of light shining down from above in the middle, forming a small circle of light on the ground.
Shen Yao walked out and looked up. There was a staircase on the side that spiraled upward along the wall.
What he just said was not wrong, this is indeed the clock tower.
Gu Chaoxi walked in and looked up. It was extremely cool here and you could even smell the faint scent of growing moss in the air.
It was cold, damp, and there was not much light.
"Walk up a bit, this should be the first floor." The bell tower is entered from the second floor, so this is the first floor.
