Chapter 485: Clever
Liu Kuan panicked. To be precise, he was flustered from the first moment he saw Shen Hao. This kind of panic, panic for no reason, is not because he is worried about being found out by Shen Hao, on the contrary, he has done a good job recently, no matter externally or internally, he has changed his previous dawdling appearance.
But when he saw Shen Hao, he panicked. Perhaps another word is more appropriate, fear.
The wild boar is not afraid of the tiger because it ate the tiger's food, but because the tiger can eat it.
Now Liu Kuan felt that he was a pitiful and helpless wild boar, and the cold-faced Shen Hao beside him was the tiger who was considering whether to eat him.
After checking the files, he looked at the letter catalog in the copper cabinet, and finally went to the dungeon to check the situation of the defense.
"You did a good job." Even though Shen Hao had a cold face, he had to say that Liu Kuan was doing his job well, at least he didn't find anything that could be regarded as a "mistake" under his surprise inspection.
"My lord has given you too much praise, and my subordinates are just following your teachings, which is nothing." Hearing the praise, Liu Kuan didn't dare to relax at all. True, but it could also be irony, and you'd be really stupid if you took it seriously.
"What about the Vegetable Garden? How is it doing now?"
"Return to your lord's words. Vegetable Garden Manor has become the norm now. According to your previous instructions, not only a sheltered house was built to isolate the outside world, but also light and shade posts and several defensive and concealed magic circles. There are usually five people stationed there. Guards are guarded every three days. There is also a permanent checkpoint set up by the garrison outside, and the area that used to be Caiyuanzhuang is now marked as a restricted area."
This is an inquiry that Liu Kuan had expected a long time ago. After all, apart from the affairs within the entire Tukui City, the only place that is unique to Tukui City is the Sword Emperor's Tomb that once made a lot of noise. It is the location of the former Vegetable Garden.
Liu Kuan often received inquiries from Shen Hao after Jianhuang Tomb was temporarily closed. What loopholes will there be.
"Very good, but since everyone is here, I want to go over and have a look, you should prepare."
"My lord, the dinner is ready, do you think we should go after eating?" Liu Kuan booked a table at the best flower house in Tukui City, and invited Lianxiangge, who is said to be with Fengricheng Hong'enyuan, With Ji's smug sister as company, she felt that this was a great opportunity to flatter her, and she didn't want to let it go.
But Shen Hao didn't have this idea at all, he was always pretending to be something in his heart at this moment.
"Go and have a look first, we will eat together later when we have time."
"It's my lord, I'm going to prepare now."
Seeing Shen Hao's cold face and tone, he didn't dare to persuade him at all. After bowing his hands, he called the adults below to prepare the chariots and horses, and then drove out of Tukui City towards Vegetable Garden Manor.
Along the way, Shen Haodu sat alone in the carriage and no one summoned him until he arrived at the checkpoint outside the vegetable garden.
Shen Hao got out of the car and walked around to experience the defense settings around here. Generally speaking, it is not particularly strict, but it can definitely be described by the word "forbidden place", and ordinary people must not be able to enter. And it's not good for monks to come in. Even monks were not included in the initial defense considerations. Why are the monks in the closed Sword Emperor's Tomb unable to enter? Just guard against curious ordinary people.
Even the protective and defensive magic circles at the core entrance were erected under Shen Hao's special instructions. To be honest, in Liu Kuan's view, this is a bit of a big deal.
After entering Caiyuanzhuang, Shen Hao felt as if it was yesterday. Back then, he experienced Yunjianyu, tomb beasts, and killings here, and everything was still fresh in his memory.
The entrance of the tomb was originally a pond, but it has disappeared now, and it is completely covered by a house with a radius of seven to eight feet. Moreover, there is only one door for entering and exiting this house, and there are no windows, so it is obviously not inhabited.
And when you get close to this house, you can sense the obvious formation fluctuations.
"My lord, there are two formations, one for external defense and one for internal concealment. As long as you pass through the outer defensive formation and enter, you will enter the range of the concealment formation. All reactions that may emanate from the entrance inside will be isolated in the In formation.
In addition, there will be someone on duty outside the house, and there will be no interruption at twelve hours a day. "
Accompanied by Liu Kuan, Xin Hao followed behind Shen Hao, explaining the various layouts in the vegetable garden all the way.
"Very good. Let's go and have a look."
"Good sir."
Because it is entering the house, the inside is no better than the outside after all, so the guards brought by Shen Hao stayed outside, including the three masters sent by the Commander's Yamen who were dressed as guards, they didn't think there was anything wrong, just Responsibly stay outside the house.
Liu Kuan didn't feel that something was wrong, he walked in front and led the way, opened the magic circle, and then led the way.
After entering the room, Liu Kuan lit a candle, and the entrance of the tomb in Shen Hao's memory appeared in front of him again. Doors formed like thick clouds filled the openings.
Apart from the entrance to the tomb, there was nothing in the room, and it remained as empty as before.
"My lord, look, this place is completely isolated."
"Liu Kuan." Shen Hao suddenly interrupted Liu Kuan's words.
"What are your orders, my lord?"
Shen Hao stretched out his hands in front of Liu Kuan, and there was a pill in his palm, so that Liu Kuan had no idea what he was going for.
"This is Qianmeng Pill. After taking it, you will faint for two hours, or there is an antidote, which is also effective for monks like you. You take it, I need you to sleep for two hours."
"Ah?" Liu Kuan naturally knew about Qianmeng Pill, but what he didn't understand was why Shen Hao suddenly asked him to eat it. Also, what do you mean by "Need you to sleep for two hours"?
However, Liu Kuan also reacted quickly enough. He immediately understood why Shen Hao suddenly visited Tukui City, and refused the normal banquet, but rushed here all the way. It is said to be an inspection, but what is there to investigate here? Immediately, his eyes quickly glanced at the entrance of the tomb next to him.
Liu Kuan seemed to understand something.
"Subordinates obey!"
Liu Kuan gritted his teeth, picked up the Qianmeng Pill in Shen Hao's hand, raised his head and put the pill into his mouth without hesitation, and opened his mouth to signal after swallowing.
"Very good! Liu Kuan, you are indeed a smart person."
"Many, thank you, my lord, praise" Before finishing the sentence, Liu Kuan felt an irresistible tiredness rising, his eyelids were extremely heavy, and he lost the strength to speak, and he fell down as soon as he softened.
Shen Hao supported Liu Kuan, who had fallen into a deep sleep by the pill, and laid him flat on the ground. Just as he had expected before, Liu Kuan, a wise man, made the most suitable choice, and finally he had time to try to see if he could really enter the already closed Sword Emperor's Tomb again.
