    Fang Jinshi was pushed into the cave by Zhao Zichen. He followed Lu Xiao slowly into the cave. The entrance of the cave was narrow, but it became wider as he went inside. After walking for more than twelve or thirty feet, he reached the end.

    Inside, there is a wooden model the size of a sedan placed on two large wooden stools. There are eight small wheels underneath. A total of three floors of wooden houses like houses are built on it. The three and a half floors are not the same size, but more different.  The higher floors are smaller, and it really looks like a wooden tower. The two lower rooms are square, but the smallest one on the top is round, embedded like a stone mill, and it looks like it should be able to rotate.

    At first glance, the model looked unremarkable and the workmanship was rough. Fang Jinshi heard what Lu Xiao said before and thought it was a delicate thing. Who knew he would be greatly disappointed when he saw the real thing.

    Zhao Zicheng and Shao Yun also took a closer look. They looked at it for a while, and Zhao Zicheng said: "Is this the wooden chariot pagoda you call it?"

    Fang Jinshi could hear the tone of his voice and understood that Zhao Zicheng was also extremely disappointed. After all, he was so stinking and embarrassed that he only saw such a crude object.

    Lu Xiao said: "Exactly, Sir, although this object looks rough and unremarkable on the outside, the winch's wooden teeth and tenon components inside have taken me many years of energy. I can save most of my effort to push it to move."

    Zhao Zichen asked: "Can it be used on a giant ship?"

    Lu Xiao said: "This car is traveling on land, and the ship is floating in the water. I'm afraid I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, but I will definitely try my best to think of a solution."

    Listening to the tone of his words, Zhao Zicheng knew that it might not be possible. Zhao Zicheng's interest in craftsmanship that could not be used on large ships was immediately reduced by more than half. He covered his mouth and yawned: "Okay, you can think about it carefully.  If you need help or money to buy materials or tools, just tell my housekeeper and let me know if there are any new developments. That¡¯s it for today.¡±

    Lu Xiao saw that he was about to leave, so he took a step forward and said, "Sir, please go slowly. This pagoda has another important function. I must let you see it. Otherwise, your visit will be in vain, right?"

    Zhao Zichen said: "What else can it do?"

    Lu Xiao said: "Master, wait a moment, I will get a tool."

    He walked alone about three to four feet away from the cave entrance. He reached out to dig out something in the recessed area of ??the stone wall. After hearing a crisp clatter of iron chains, a huge iron fence fell rapidly from the air, separating Fang Jinshi and the three of them.  Between him and Lu Xiao, the iron fence was very heavy, and it stirred up a lot of dust when it fell on the ground.

    Fang Jin, Shi, Zhao Zi and Shao Yun were imprisoned in the cave by Lu Xiao. The three of them rushed to the iron fence and shouted: "What are you doing?"

    Lu Xiao ignored the three of them, took an iron chain and quickly wrapped it several times around the right leg of the iron fence and an iron ring buried in the ground, and then took a copper lock and locked it. The person locked inside was because  There is a stone wall blocking this side, and the copper lock cannot be reached. It is absolutely impossible to open the copper lock from the inside.

    Zhao Ziyan held his hand on the iron fence and said loudly: "Lu Xiao, what do you want to do?"

    With the contemptuous smile of a victor, Lu Xiao patted the dust on his hands and said, "I don't want to do anything, Prince Xiu, let's make a deal between the two of us."

    Zhao Zichen asked: "What kind of business are you doing?"

    Lu Xiao said: "You know what I want. How about it? If you agree to my conditions, I will let the three of you leave."

    Zhao Zichan said angrily: "I don't know your conditions, but don't say anything. I won't agree to anything, so stop your wishful thinking."

    Lu Xiao looked at the sky and said: "This place is remote. I will go and close the door in front. No matter how loud you shout, no one will hear you, and no one will find out. I won't do anything to you three, as long as I  How many days can you endure without food and drink? Prince Xiu, your life is precious. The lives of three of you would be exchanged for one person. No matter how I see it, Prince, you will definitely make a profit without losing anything."

    He was polite before, calling Zhao Zicheng the master and himself a "little man". Now he succeeded in one fell swoop and even changed his title.

    Fang Jinshi held his hand on the iron fence and said to Lu Xiao: "Brother Lu, I just came here to watch the fun. I have no grudges with Brother Lu in the past and today. Why don't you let me out first? What do you want the prince to promise you?"  Under the conditions, maybe I can handle it, brother?"

    Lu Xiao said: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? You deserve to be mixed up with King Xiu, who can blame you?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "You can't say that. Brother Lu, if you have any conditions, can you tell me, maybe I can really help you do it. If you are short of money, I can still afford hundreds or thousands of dollars. If you have  Is it a difficult task? I have many friends in the world. If we all work together, it may not be impossible.Whether it is.  He turned back to Zhao Zichen and said: "Master, it seems that Brother Lu is not a greedy person. Why don't you promise him to take care of his affairs first? Then, Prince Xiu, all your losses will be borne by me."  how?  "As he spoke, he winked at Xiu Wang Zhao Zichan, meaning that we should promise him first and go out first. As long as we get outside, we can't help Lu Xiao.

    Before Zhao Zichen could answer, Lu Xiao said: "Don't waste your breath. This matter requires the consent of Prince Xiu. Prince Xiu, isn't he just a maid, and he is using it to risk the lives of himself and his brothers?"

    Zhao Zicheng said bitterly: "You have been in prison for so long, but you still don't give up. You do evil in front of me, Zhao Zicheng, and threaten me to do unjust things. You don't even have to think about it. I will never compromise."

    Lu Xiao said: "Prince Xiu, I don't want to kill people or set fire to harm the world. I just want Prince Xiu to tell me where Tian Li has gone and promise not to hurt anyone's finger. I just want to take her away."  It¡¯s just here. We will never come back. My lord, you are so rich and powerful, and there are so many maids and maids in your house. Why don¡¯t you just find a wife for Tian Song? Such a way to get the best of both worlds, lord, why should you be so determined?  Do you want to be stubborn?"

    "Shut up!" Zhao Zicheng suddenly said angrily, "You tried to dominate my wife and said it was not unreasonable. Previously, I thought that you were just confused for doing such an animal behavior. I didn't expect that you still don't repent after being imprisoned. Tian Song's family  I asked them to move elsewhere a long time ago, so you don¡¯t have to think about it anymore.¡±

    Lu Xiao said with a disdainful look: "How did I hear the news that they just went to the countryside? Tian Song's mother is seriously ill now, where can he go? Prince Xiu, your lord, just treat it like this  Good thing, please help us."

    Zhao Zicheng said: "You don't need to say any more. If I, Zhao Zicheng, can't do such dirty and dirty things, just give up on this idea."

    Lu Xiao said: "Really?" He remained silent, stood up and walked out of the cave. Fang Jinshi and Shao Yun called him several times but he ignored them. Fang Jinshi turned around and said to Zhao Zichen: "Master, why don't you bow your head for now.  Let him do whatever he wants, as long as we lie to him to get us out of this prison, can we still let him go?"

    Shao Yun also hurriedly followed and echoed, Zhao Zichen said: "You have also seen what Lu Xiao is like. He is sinister, greedy and smart. It is impossible to trick him into letting us out first. Hey I knew it a long time ago.  He has bad moral character, and it is only because of his craftsmanship that he is allowed to stay. Who would have thought that he would fall into such a situation today."

    He felt sorry for himself here, never thinking about Lu Xiao, but he quickly came back. He took off Zhao Zicheng's gown that was left outside, walked to the iron fence and said to Zhao Zicheng: "Prince Xiu, I heard that Tian Li's  My father is a tailor, and his father-in-law will definitely know where Tian Song and the others have gone, right?"

    Zhao Zicheng turned away and ignored him, Lu Xiao said again: "She has been following you, Prince, so she will definitely recognize your clothes. I will give this dress of yours to Tailor Li and tell him, Prince Xiu, you must let his daughter  I'll wash and mend it myself, I wonder if Mrs. Tian Li will show up?"

    Zhao Zicheng couldn't help but said: "You can try it."

    Lu Xiao said: "Your Majesty, if you say so, this method will definitely not work." He reached out to look through Prince Xiu's gown, and found a jade pendant. He looked over it over and over and said, "Prince Xiu, if I put it  Give this jade pendant and these clothes to Tailor Li, tell the truth, tell him, Prince, you may die at any time if you fall into my hands, and ask him to tell his daughter, let her replace you, you have been a great favor to their family.  , do you think she will come to replace you?"

    Zhao Zicheng still said: "Then you can try it too."

    Lu Xiao said: "When the prince said this just now, his expression changed. That means I was right. Thank you, prince. I will try it now. If it succeeds, I will take her two hundred miles away.  I will definitely find a way to inform the prince's subordinates to come here and let you out. If it fails, you guys will just have to deal with it yourself."

    Zhao Zicheng was angry for a moment and couldn't help but cursed out of control, but Lu Xiao ignored him. When he was about to go out, he said to Zhao Zicheng: "There are many mosquitoes in this cave at night. You three have a good time."

    Fang Jinshi saw him closing the door and going out, then locked the outside. After a while, there was the sound of horses honking outside, thinking he was riding away. Fang Jinshi turned back to Zhao Zichen and said, "Master, what should we do now?"

    Zhao Zichen said: "Let's find a way to escape quickly. The Tian Song family is honest and will definitely let this guy succeed. We have to go out and intercept him as soon as possible."

    Fang Jinshi said: "It goes without saying that this Lu Xiao was very deliberate. He used curiosity to lure us here at first, and then deliberately asked the young master to take off his clothes and leave them outside. He had already planned every step. Since this prison  It¡¯s about people, why???It might be that easy for us to escape.  "

    Shao Yundao: "Having said that, we can't just sit back and do nothing. We might as well think of a way to give it a try."

    The three of them looked around, but were unable to do anything. They tried to set the contents on fire and use thick smoke to report the news, but they didn't even have any igniters on them.  This iron fence is so strong and dense that it is impossible to get through.
