In capital, what position has being situated the dragon vein section is better than? Therefore this provided the possibility of earth escape transmission. 皇室修建府邸规格森严,必然是挑选风水最好的地方。在京城,有什么位置比坐落龙脉的地段更好?于是这就提供了土遁传送的可能。 Li Miaozhen has said that the method of practicing difficulty earth escape, does not have Pingyuan Count and Huai Prince secret agents controls this secret technique possibility, therefore, this slate is earth escape technique transmission array, it needs the special technique to start. After the start, will transmit to the corresponding place. Where that place can be, imperial palace somewhere? 李妙真说过,土遁之法修行困难,不存在平远伯淮王密探都掌控这种秘法的可能,所以,这座石盘就是土遁传送阵法,它需要特殊的手法才能启动。启动之后,会传送到相应的地方。那个地方会是哪里呢,皇宫某处? Heng Yuan was in a rage initially, goes into the mansion, Pingyuan Count has definitely thought runs into this said/tunnel, flees through the transmission. But he has not succeeded, perhaps just opened secret passage to be killed by Heng Yuan 恒远当初一怒之下,闯入府邸,平远伯肯定有想过逃入这个地道,通过传送逃离。但他没有成功,或许刚打开密道就被恒远打死 But Heng Yuan does not know to other things totally, not possible only secret passage association to have too many things, aristocrat your family place constructs secret passage, is very normal matter. But in his eyes, this is the huge flaw, therefore Heng Yuan must die. “但恒远对其他事情一概不知,不可能单凭一个密道联想出太多东西,并且,贵族府上修建密道,是很正常的事。但在他的眼里,这是巨大的破绽,所以恒远一定要死。 So far, my speculation was confirmed that does not have any careless mistake. Does not know that Xu Qi'an that fellow has not thought that is temporary disregarding. Always felt he knows are more, for example, why your majesty must collect a number of population regularly, what does he use these innocent people to make?” “目前为止,我的推测都被验证了,没有任何纰漏。不知道许七安那家伙是没有想到,还是暂时的无视。总感觉他知道的更多,比如,陛下为什么要定期收集一批人口,他用那些无辜的人做什么?” The black clothes female is lost in thought. 黑衣女子陷入沉思。 For a long time, she sighed, restrained the train of thought that is staring at the slate carefully, memorized silently for ten minutes, all details, accurate brand mark in mind. 许久后,她叹息一声,收敛思绪,仔细盯着石盘,默记了十分钟,把所有细节,准确无误的烙印在脑海里。 Then, she grasps the fire folding booklet, the footsteps left the secret room fast 然后,她握着火折子,脚步飞快的离开了密室 In June 18, beginning of Autumn! 六月十八,立秋!
