Chapter 407: Finding the Secret Room

Seeing Zhang Jing walking away, Zhao Zhenyuan said, "It's getting colder as the night deepens. Ah Man, you should go home as soon as possible and don't let your father worry."

Fortunately, Zhang Jing was not there, otherwise he would be scared to death when he heard the word "father".

I said, "I won't leave. Without my help, I'm afraid you won't be able to find them no matter how hard you try."

Zhao Zhenyuan's face looked very ugly. If I didn't help him find the person as soon as possible, I was afraid he would die in a few days.

Zhao Zhenyuan looked at me seriously and said, "Since you are so persistent, how do you want to start looking?"

I said, "Just send someone to follow me, and you can go back to your room and rest."

Zhao Zhenyuan shook his head and said, "There are about 300 remnants. It's not that your father looks down on you, but it's probably difficult for you to win by yourself."

I thought about it and felt that what Zhao Zhenyuan said made some sense. If so many people came together, they would probably crush me to death, let alone start a fight.

I nodded and said, "Then send more people to follow me. I will find the entrance first."

After saying that, I carried the small axe and left.

But Zhao Zhenyuan did not leave, but followed me with a team of cavalry.

Seeing that Zhao Zhenyuan was unwilling to leave, I had no choice but to let him follow. Anyway, he owed Zhao Shengping so much in the past, and since he wanted to be a loving father, let him be a loving father.

I ignored Zhao Zhenyuan and listened carefully. The tiny sounds were still coming from the artificial lake.

Zhang Jing has already taken people to check. I wonder if they have found anything. Thinking of this, I hurriedly walked towards the artificial lake.

When we arrived at the artificial lake, we saw Zhang Jing and a team of people wearing anti-slip shoes and searching carefully on the ice.

Zhao Zhenyuan guessed that there was a secret room under the artificial lake. I think this possibility is very high, but it is not easy to find the entrance. The martial arts academy is so large and there are so many houses. If we check every room one by one, it may take ten days or half a month to find the entrance.

I said to Zhao Zhenyuan, "Give me a pair of non-slip shoes. I want to go out on the ice and take a look."

Zhao Zhenyuan waved his hand, and someone immediately handed me a pair of non-slip shoes.

I put on my anti-slip shoes and walked carefully onto the ice, and it was actually not slippery!

I ran happily on the ice, and Zhao Zhenyuan was so scared that he shouted, "Aman, don't be naughty, be careful not to fall."

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, I was running too fast and couldn't stop the car, and I bumped into an officer who had just turned around. Both of us couldn't control our bodies, and we both flew out, and then fell on the ice together with a "bang"!

Fortunately, the ice was solid enough, otherwise we would all fall into the water.

Zhao Zhenyuan held his forehead with his hand and couldn't bear to watch, while Zhang Jing and everyone looked at me in amazement. They had seen people seeking death before, but they had never seen someone seeking death as much as me. I had already fallen once on the ice, and I wanted to fall again.

I stood up shakily, stretched out my hand and pulled up the officer who was pinned down by me, and said with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

This officer was about 17 or 18 years old. He had probably been in the army for a short time and was not very shy. When I said that, he felt embarrassed and blushed. He lowered his head and said, "No, it's okay."

Zhang Jing came over and asked me, "Is the fall serious?"

Ever since Zhang Jing found out that I was not a spy and had a close relationship with General Zhao, his attitude towards me changed 180 degrees.

I looked at Zhang Jing who was trying to please me, patted my butt, and said a little embarrassedly: "Luckily, there was someone to cushion the fall this time, so the fall wasn't too serious."

Zhang Jing wanted to say something, but Zhao Zhenyuan shouted from the shore: "It's snowing, you need to be careful."

I looked up and saw heavy snow falling like goose feathers. Soon, a thin layer of snow covered my body.

I brushed off the snow on my body and said, "Yes, the snow is getting heavier, making the search more difficult. We have to hurry up."

Zhang Jing quickly said, "We have searched the lake and found nothing."

I pointed in the direction of the pavilion and asked, "Have you searched those hidden corners?"

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "We searched every corner, but found nothing."

This is really strange. The sound clearly came from the bottom of the lake. Where is the entrance?

Without a second thought, I plopped down on the ice, putting my ear against the ice and listening carefully.

After listening for a while, it slowly crawled towards the direction of the sound.

Everyone was shocked to see my strange behavior. The ice was so cold, but I was crawling on it like a worm. Am I crazy?

But Zhao Zhenyuan looked for a while and immediately said, "Follow me." Then he led his men to follow me on the shore.

Zhang Jing immediately led his men to follow without saying a word.

I lay on the ice and listened for a while, then suddenly sat up, tilted my head and thought for a while, then continued to lie on the ice and continued to crawl forward.

Although they didn't know what I was doing, no one dared to disturb me.

How deep would they have to dig to build a secret room on the lake? They are amazing! If it weren't for my excellent hearing, no one would have discovered this secret.

As the night deepened, the snow fell heavier and the wind was biting. I crawled on the ice. Soon, I was covered with snow and my hands and feet were numb from the cold. I had no choice but to sit up after crawling for a while to warm my hands to avoid freezing.

I crawled on the ice for a long time, and finally reached the shore, but still couldn't find the entrance.

I climbed ashore, listened attentively for a while, then turned around and walked quickly towards the back garden.

Next to the horse training ground in the back garden is a large stable. During school hours, there are at least a hundred horses in the stable for students to practice riding. But after the holidays, these horses will be sent back to the horse training ground in the palace or the royal ranch in Xishan, where they will be taken care of and fed by special people and sent back when school starts.

Now the stable is empty and cleaned so thoroughly that there is not even a speck of horse manure to be seen.

I walked into the stable, and Zhao Zhenyuan immediately ordered someone to come in with torches to light the way for me.

There was a horse pen on one side of the stable and horse feed piled up on the other side. The air was filled with a faint scent of grain.

I frowned and said, "No wonder these people set up the entrance in the stable. There is so much horse feed here that they won't starve to death even if they hide there for a year."

Horse feed includes refined grains and coarse grains. Refined grains are generally a mixture of wheat, soybeans, corn, etc. There is absolutely no problem for humans to eat these things.

Zhao Zhenyuan looked at the bags of horse grain that were neatly stacked higher than a person, frowned, and asked, "Has anyone counted how many bags of horse grain there are before we came?"

Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Zhenyuan with a somewhat unpleasant expression. This matter was indeed his negligence. He did not even think of such an important thing.

Zhang Jing said, "I was careless and didn't send anyone to count the horse rations."
