The four people in the carriage suddenly turned their heads and looked at him with a "swish".

"Mr. Chen, what did you say just now?"

Chen Yuan raised his head, swept over the faces of several people one by one, and then said, "The current Xinming Pavilion was once my residence."

Gu Yundong was really shocked now. Mr. Chen’s previous home was the house in the east of the city?

Chen Yuan said, "The house was a high-ranking official a long time ago. When Taizu was still alive, his house was confiscated for committing a crime. The house was vacant for a while. Later, Taizu rewarded me. When I asked someone to repair it, I found that there was a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the house."

However, he was later demoted by Taizu and went to Yongning Mansion to be the prefect of the Yongning Mansion. He said that he was demoted, but in fact, Taizu had a secret task to him. But he still had to do it to the outside world, so Taizu took the mansion back.

But before leaving, in order to avoid trouble, Chen Yuan did not want people to think that he had deliberately dug a secret passage and asked someone to block the secret passage.

Later, after Chen Yuan completed his mission, he returned to the capital. When Taizu rewarded the house again, he was closer to the palace and more luxurious mansion. Instead, the house changed hands several times and finally fell on the Yan family and became the current Xinming Pavilion.

"At that time, I found someone to block both ends of the secret passage. Now if I want to use it, it will be easy to dig it out."

He didn't live in that house for long, and he must be more than the only one who knows the secret passage.

Shao Qingyuan immediately asked, "Where is the other end of the secret passage leading to?"

"Just in the small bamboo forest behind the entrances of Xinming Pavilion." The environment in this area is relatively quiet. The small bamboo forest mentioned by Chen Yuan is not very big, but it grows lushly.

There used to be a house there, but later the house collapsed. There were rumors that there was a ghost in the house and it was not suitable to start construction. It gradually turned into a small bamboo forest, and there were not many people who could not pass by.

Shao Qingyuan lifted the curtain without saying a word and asked Shao Wen to go to the small bamboo forest.

Fortunately, they are almost arriving at Xinming Pavilion, and this place is not far away.

If possible, it will be more convenient for them to enter through the secret passage of the small bamboo forest.

Gu Yundong was a little worried, and didn't know if Ge could block the officers and soldiers. She raised her eyes and asked Chen Yuan, "Where is the other section of the secret passage? Where is the Xinming Pavilion?"

"Backyard." Chen Yuan thought for a while, took the water bag beside him, dipped a little water on his finger, and simply drew a location map on the wall of the car, "It's here."

"Is this...near the warehouse?" Gu Yundong frowned.

While the few people were talking, the carriage stopped, and Shao Wen's voice sounded outside, "Master, Madam, Xiao Zhulin has arrived."

Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong both jumped out of the carriage, and Chen Yuan was also helped out.

Only he knows the specific location here.

Chen Yuan thought about it carefully and finally walked towards the northwest corner of the woods.

Just at the corner of the wall, he pointed to a stone and said, "Just pressing down on this stone."

He was still a pile of stones. In the past, it was a very small pond with water on it. The exit of the secret passage was on the edge of the pool wall. Otherwise, if someone came from the other end of the secret passage and had stones pressed on it, it would be impossible to push it away.

So when he blocked the secret passage, he filled the pond.
