Chapter three hundred and seventy-two leading
Chapter 372 Leader
Commander Qin's heart was shocked when Liu Yong stood like this. He was also the person who was responsible for guarding the palace, so he naturally knew the various rules for guards to protect important figures. He did not see Liu Yong's depth at first, but he just saw that the middle-aged man was brisk in his hands and feet, and he should have practiced some martial arts. However, when Liu Yong stood like this, Jinze protected Sisi, Zhou Rui and Guan Huan stood on both sides. Obviously, these people were all guys with rich experience in guarding important figures. Thinking of his failure to see through the depth of them, Commander Qin became more and more desperate. How could he fight like this? He could not beat any of the other party, let alone those subordinates, scattered exploration of the underground palace, so that he could only have eleven people in this team. And Commander Qin had to protect the three princess and four important figures... After thinking, Commander Qin still surrendered.
Commander Qin stood in front, spread his hands, and said, "I don't know who the emperor is, but there are many crises in this underground palace, so don't have a conflict at this time."
Ye Tao replied with a smile: "I do not want to have conflicts. So you need to listen to us, otherwise it will be difficult to get out and you will be disturbed by you, but it will not be fun. When you meet here, I don't know which side is not lucky."
"You... are you..." The third princess asked when she heard the smell was not right.
"I am Lu Zhen... from the Civil Affairs Bureau of Yunzhou Jingli Prefecture." Ye Tao introduced lightly.
"What a joke, how could you, a minor official, make these great masters move?" Commander Qin murmured.
"Whether you believe it or not. Of course, I'm telling the truth or lies, there is no difference here. Originally, I was indeed a little sure to get out of the maze and escape invisibly. Now, I probably don't know that the unlucky person or a few unlucky persons have changed the maze together. I have to spend some time now, after all, I don't want to die here. Moreover, I can't wait too long. Let's find the central authority first." Ye Tao shrugged and said indifferently.
Under such circumstances, it was obvious that the opponent was so powerful that he could ignore him, these three princesses and the other three could not have any idea of resistance. They watched Zhou Rui and Jinze tie up the guards and throw them in place. However, Commander Qin, Liu Yong, was not prepared to move him, but just paid attention to his every move anytime and anywhere. Under the surveillance of the four masters, Commander Qin could not play any tricks.
Since it is a maze, there are always certain rules. What Ye Tao cares about is not the design rules of the maze itself, but the location of the moving walls. When walking and marking these changing walls in comparison with the map of the maze, it also gradually has a bottom in his mind. The lifting and lowering of these walls requires a very large mechanical mechanism to help, not just power and machinery, but also designs that ensure that these mechanisms will not get stuck with long-term migration. Although it was amazing to achieve such exquisite underground palace buildings hundreds of years ago, technological development takes time after all. Those bulky mechanical mechanisms are installed in the underground palace, whether in the distribution of volume or weight arrangement, there will be a series of counterweights. After understanding these and doing some calculations, Ye Tao also learned that Suo Yong and his group completed the task with the treasure map. Although there were many twists and turns, in general, they were very lucky.
There are many parts of the maze that are not marked on that picture at all. Perhaps it is because it is not necessary, or perhaps it is because the Chen family knows how to enter and exit this underground palace, but their understanding of the underground palace is very limited, and they don’t know the complete structure of the underground palace at all. Ye Tao estimated that what the Chen family knew about was the layer where the treasures were stored at the bottom of the underground palace and a small part of the layer of the maze. There is still a very sufficient space in the middle, which they had not been able to explore. Ye Tao estimated that there should be another layer of space besides the technical layer that took out the various power mechanisms to install. Ye Tao is very interested in this layer now.
Ye Tao is also an architect. Although he has always advocated the design concept of architecture and did not adhere to those architectural styles, this does not mean that he does not know. Before going against the inherent architectural tradition, you must first understand what the architectural tradition is and why, and then adjust it according to his own design requirements. Otherwise, it is really a fearless person. If Ye Tao really knows nothing about the traditional architectural style and the political and ethical functions contained in architectural design, then the work of designing the new capital of Dongping is incompetent. Ye Tao can see that although the entire underground palace is
The maze layer is full of mechanisms, but the posture is still upright and has a serious and solemn atmosphere. Obviously, this is definitely not an underground palace that is purely used for treasure or refuge, but an imperial tomb that has never been opened. It took a lot of effort to build the underground palace, and then it took even more effort to build a super-large "nature park" on the ground that seemed like a fairyland. Ye Tao felt that he could not do such a petty spirit. Moreover, this series of projects lasted for decades, collected countless manpower and material resources, and had to do a good job of confidentiality. This kind of thing is even more respectable and lamentable.
But now, Ye Tao is getting closer and closer to the layer that should be the imperial tomb. After carefully studying the map for a while, Ye Tao estimated that it was already dawn, but he knew enough about the layer of maze and they could start exploring it. After eating some dry food brought, drinking some water, everyone set off together.
Many mechanisms in the maze layer are really not a problem for Ye Tao. At least, they have not encountered any problem that can make Ye Tao scratch his head for the time being. Although Ye Tao's attainments in cracking mechanisms are certainly not as good as Suo Yong, who has put a lot of effort into this, their fellow brothers communicate with each other, and after many experiences are written, they can refer to each other, and at least some basic principles and means are still known. Moreover, this maze has been around for hundreds of years. Although they have added designs to prevent rust, the elastic deformation of those crossbows, the elastic deformation of those crossbows and arrows has become a typical deformation, and the things fired by gravity hammers are very loud, and mechanisms such as sandblasting and fireblasting may be even less effective. The danger of design and construction at that time is now just adding a little fun to Ye Tao in walking in the maze.
Guan Huan and Jinze were left to protect Tan Weixin and others and monitor Commander Qin. Liu Yong had been following Ye Tao's footsteps, for fear of encountering some sudden mechanism and hurting Ye Tao. After being on guard for a long time, Liu Yong was also a little tired. After all, he was also a middle-aged man and his energy was not as good as that of a young man.
Seeing Liu Yong's fatigue, Ye Tao was also a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle Liu, let's take a break."
Liu Yong smiled and asked everyone to sit down against the walls on both sides to restore their energy. At this time, the third princess asked again: "Who are you?"
Ye Tao ignored her. Instead, he continued to study the maze map. The markings on it have added many lines, and the scope of the map has also expanded a lot. They have been walking in places where the map was originally not marked since they set out. Ye Tao and the others are facing the center of the maze.
Seeing Ye Tao ignored her, the third princess didn't dare to be upset. She naturally knew that this "Lu Zhen" was definitely not an ordinary person. She was also a princess, and the level of the commander Qin was definitely not low, but she was not even as good as any of the other party's guards. And the calmness of "Lu Zhen" cracking the mechanism along the way and talking about the principles of architecture with Liu Yong and others was even more shocking. They had never heard of such a person before. Thinking about the fact that the Zhenbei Military Office, which was always a bit desolate, would naturally be able to produce a business genius and make profits for the family.
It is not difficult; it is natural to create a brave general, but construction is definitely a matter of burning money. You can't tell anything just by reading books. You can't become a first-class architect without presiding over any major project. Among them, there are also a series of things that may ruin a potential architect, which may cause trouble, mistakes, engineering accidents, etc. The third princess also has some understanding of the top architects in Xiling, but compared to those old men who are young at the age of fifty and are already in their seventies, Lu Zhen's level is obviously only high or low.
With these understandings, these Xiling people actually had names that were about to jump out of their hearts. There was no way. Ye Tao had to show his abilities in the maze, and he didn't care about the possibility of revealing his identity or something. Of course, Ye Tao naturally made up his mind to kidnap these people together so that they could not return to Xiling within at least a few years. Anyway, it would take some time for the Lord Xiling to figure out how many people this maze devoured.
Soon, Ye Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. In front of them, in the center of the maze, there was an altar-like thing that appeared, a little higher than the surrounding ground. Due to the limited height of the underground building, the three-stage staircase was only ritualistic, with each level only more than two inches high, but this pose was done well.
Ye Tao carefully climbed to the altar and saw a stone platform in the middle. There was a huge dragon-head password disk on the stone platform, which looked very similar to the password disk on the gate where they entered the underground palace just now.
