Chapter 21: Here
Cuiyun Palace is not far from Xiangyun Palace, and there are only a few rockeries in the middle.
Most of the trees around Cuiyun Palace were planted by the previous dynasty, and they were extremely luxuriant. From a distance, you can only see the eaves of the main hall in the palace. And because there were no newcomers after the death of the concubine in Yuncui Palace a few years ago, even in the summer, Cuiyun Palace also showed a bit of gloomy atmosphere.
In recent months, Meng Guifei has placed Miss Gu here. On weekdays, except for the palace people who take care of her food, there is no one else to interact with.
In the night, the palace gate of Cuiyun Palace was closed, and the lights in the palace were darker than elsewhere.
In a side hall, there was a faint light.
The thick dark red curtain hanging from the wide hall around it, in the middle of which was a huge square covered with white veil like a bed and a cage, and under the transparent white veil was a thumb-thick black and yellow iron rod. There was a round table and a high stool, and there was nothing else.
An emaciated woman in white knelt on the ground covered with a mat, and her skinny hand covered with snow-white fine yarn drilled through the gap between the iron bars, allowing only one hand, and tightly pulled Jimo Huaijin, who was also sitting on the ground and dressed in black.
Tang Bi slashed at the iron rod under the spun yarn with his sword again, still with a sharp metallic sound.
"Stop!" Zhou Rong roared, "This is a special external force made by the cold iron, and it can't be opened at all." We're going to try to get the keys. ”
"It's me who was negligent!" Tang Bi said angrily, "I haven't seen this cage at night." I should have taken her away at that time...... "This Meng Guifei also looks up to him too much, and she can come up with such a vicious way to imprison people."
"No need!" A faint female voice sounded: "If I can see Your Highness again, Lan Yi is willing to die." "She knows better than anyone what this place is. Getting the keys is bound to be a vicious fight. She doesn't know how to do kung fu, and then she will only drag them down, and she can't accept any of them being hurt for herself.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Mo Huaijin sat on the ground and held Gu Lanyi's hand tightly: "Since God let us meet again, it won't be so cruel." ”
"Your Highness......" Gu Lanyi endured his sorrow: "It's been ten years, you haven't given up looking for Lan Yi, Lan Yi is content." ”
"Yes, it's been ten years...... Ji Mo Huaijin clenched the cold skinny hand again. In his memory, this pair of soft and warm hands like jade can play the song in his heart the most.
From the age of fifteen to twenty-five, the best years of their life were lost in their search.
Gu Lanyi smiled with tears in her eyes: "Lan Yi still remembers the last time I met His Royal Highness and said: I will take you out of the palace early tomorrow morning to have fun." I thought it was just one night, but then I learned that that parting was a lifetime......"
Jimo Huaijin trembled and put his face on that hand: "We won't be separated again this time!"
In the past ten years, he has traveled all over the world, and has never stayed in one place for more than half a year, except for another half year after recognizing the mother and daughter. It wasn't until Zhou Rong told him that he was in the Tang Kingdom that he felt settled.
He was fully prepared before coming to meet, but when he came here, he couldn't help but wet his eyes when he saw the girl with a peach blossom face and full of eyes in the past, leaving only skin and bones.
At first, he couldn't believe that the pale-faced and sad-eyed woman in the cage was the sweetheart he had been looking for. It wasn't until he pulled off the mask that her sad eyes took on a strange brilliance: "Your Highness!"
Jimo Huaijin had almost forgotten that he used to like so much the delicate and naughty when she called him His Highness.
With this sound, His Highness, the two of them seemed to have returned to the past at once. Those good times that belonged to them......
After many attempts, he still couldn't open the cage he had been looking for for the girl for many years, and he sat on the ground in despair, maybe so that he could get closer to her.
Tang Bi used twelve points of skill to move the sword again, and after a sword, except for the sparks and piercing sounds after the impact of the hard object, the place where the sword had been cut was unscathed.
Tang Bi was furious, grabbed an iron pillar with both hands and pulled it to both sides, but he tried his best to do it, and the iron pillar was still firmly moving.
This kind of powerless frustration made Tang Bi hit his head on the iron rod in annoyance.
thought that he would fall in love with her for a long time, and he would have a lifetime to make her fall in love with him. However, he waited ten years, but it was not as good as the moment they met.
Just now, she saw Jimo Huaijin's surprise and splendor, which made Tang Bi go crazy with jealousy.
Ten years ago, it was he who saved her who was dying, and in more than 30 years of life, he was only interested in swordsmanship and martial arts, and he became interested in women for the first time, and since then he has been out of control. However, no matter how hard he tried and how hard he worked, he couldn't get into her heart. It wasn't until later that she learned that the person in her heart was the long-disappeared prince of the former dynasty.
In the Western Capital, he took the opportunity to make a dead move, but when he thought of those eyes full of sadness, he finally did not attack the seriously injured Jimo Huaijin again, but quietly watched him enter the door of the Shen Mansion before leaving.
As for how Shangguan Ji knew his weakness, he didn't want to know. He only knew that because of his high kung fu, she was imprisoned, and he even wanted to waste his kung fu.
And at this moment, he resented himself for why he didn't practice kung fu better? What kind of hero is he, what kind of sword is he? The woman he loves is in this iron cage, but he can't open it!
Seeing that the three people in front of him were all at a low point, Zhou Rong whispered to Tang Bi: "You are waiting here!
"That's right!" Tang Bi raised his head violently: "Go get the key!" Tang Bi seemed to wake up.
Li Houen has already taken care of it, as long as he captures Meng Guifei, he is not afraid of not having a key!
"Don't!" Gu Lanyi shouted at Tang Bi: "That concubine's skills are not below you, not to mention that she still has so many helpers!"
"I don't believe it!" Tang Bi said, holding his sword and leaving!
Trapped in a cage, thinking of other people's safety, she is a respectable girl, Zhou Rong said movingly: "Don't worry, girl! There must be a way." ”
"No!" Gu Lanyi shook his head resolutely: "Don't bother anymore! That concubine is ruthless, and her subordinates are like clouds, and you can't defeat them." I just look forward to saying a few more words to Your Highness, if you do this again, I will no longer drag you down!" Gu Lanyi said, plucking the only golden hairpin from his head and pointing it at his neck.
"Don't!" Jimo Huaijin hurriedly said: "You put it down! This palace orders you to put it down!" He is willing to be her highness forever.
Zhou Rong saw the determination in Gu Lanyi's eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, girl, don't panic even Brother Mo, we still have a way." ”
As soon as Zhou Rong said this, the three people in the hall couldn't help but look at him. In terms of age and experience, the three of them are more than Zhou Rong, but at this moment Zhou Rong is like their mentor.
Feeling the attentive gaze of everyone, Zhou Rong said slowly: "If the matter is slow, it will be round, and this matter has to be outwitted." Zhou Rong said and turned to Tang Bi: "Remember that you are still her person now!
"Okay, I'll go now!" Tang Bi said and said to Jimo Huaijin: "Take care of her!" He also saw the determination in Gu Lanyi's eyes, as long as she was good, let him do anything.
After walking out of the hall, Tang Bi said, "Can you really still talk?"
"I'm not sure, we'll act when the opportunity comes!" Zhou Rong whispered.
"Hmm!" Tang Bi nodded solemnly, secretly hoping that others would not find out about Li Houen so early. He was also a sudden sneak attack before he could kill him.
It's just that before the two of them walked to the palace gate, they saw the Cuiyun Palace gate blazing.
Tang Bi and Zhou Rong also noticed that there were also many people hidden in the trees around Cuiyun Palace.
At this time, the palace door slowly opened from the outside, and Meng Guifei supported the bowed eunuch Wang Ren with one hand, followed by a group of palace people standing murderously in the middle of the door.
"Lord!" Tang Bi hung his sword on Zhou Rong's neck: "I am grateful to you for taking care of her at night! If I hadn't come to see her again, how could I have thought that you would treat her like this on weekdays! Tang Mou, who had lost money, would give you his life! Wouldn't the Lord act like this to make his subordinates feel cold?"
Everything was expected, and Meng Guifei couldn't help but chuckle: "If it weren't for this, Tang Daxia must have flown with a beautiful woman this time!"
"Lord, is this how you treat the people who work for you?" Tang Bi's voice was so loud that even the two people in the hall who were clasping their hands could hear it clearly.
Meng Guifei couldn't hear Tang Bi's sense of separation, and then said loudly: "Heartily with me, the deity is naturally kind!"
"What about his life?" Tang Bi pressed his sword closer to Zhou Rong, who was dressed in black.
Outsiders seem to be holding Tang Bi hostage the envoy Li Houen, and even Concubine Meng Guifei sneered: "The divine sword is really capable, dare to hold the envoy hostage, do you know the consequences." Even though she was dissatisfied with Li Houen, she didn't want to slap herself in front of everyone. Moreover, she knew better than anyone how these subordinates who obeyed her orders were recruited.
As long as the lord no longer imprisons my lover with an iron cage, Tang will continue to serve you!"
"Do you believe it yourself?" Meng Guifei sneered: "If you dare to point your sword at the Venerable Envoy today, you will dare to do this to the deity one day!"
Tang Bi was thinking about how to respond when he heard a sneer: "I really didn't know that Concubine Meng was so majestic!
Tang Bi raised his eyes and saw that there were two more teams of heavily armed Praetorian Guards behind Meng Guifei, and the Tang Emperor who was sitting on the imperial throne was covered with frost.
"Why is Your Majesty here?" said Meng Guifei. In the evening, the emperor has already come once, and he is sorry, and he will definitely not come again. Meng Guifei almost forgot that she was about to salute when she saw the emperor, and stood straight to look at the Son of Heaven on the imperial court.
"Why can't I come?" Emperor Tang was furious: "Could it be that this palace belongs to you Meng Xiangyun?"
"Your Majesty is angry!" Meng Guifei knelt down in shock.
Seeing that Meng Guifei was kneeling, Zhou Rong secretly signaled Tang Bi to evacuate, and the rest of the hula present all knelt.
"How do you tell me how to calm my anger?" Emperor Tang looked at Meng Guifei who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Now how do you, Meng Xiangyun, put me in your eyes?
"Your Majesty!" Meng Guifei looked up and said, "The concubine is just dealing with the trivial matters of the harem, and it is not worthy of Your Majesty." ”
"Harem trivialities?" Emperor Tang sneered again: "I don't care what you do, but you remember, my world still can't allow you to be in charge! Your good son, King Rui has already taken care of it for you! So can you let King Rui's wife go?"
Meng Guifei knelt up in shock: "What happened to Ze'er?"
"I only ask if you let people go!" Tang Huang raised his voice again: "The golden wire cage of Shu Kingdom! The divine sword master of Shu Kingdom! Don't forget, this is the Tang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty!" Meng Guifei was surprised again, how could this Majesty, who drank and had fun all day long and was accompanied by beautiful women, be so clear about his own affairs.
Ruiwang!
I really underestimated him!
Could it be that Excalibur is King Rui's man, and he was designed by himself?
Seeing that Meng Guifei was no longer silent, Emperor Tang said loudly: "Meng Xiangyun killed the queen! Separated the prince and caused even more trouble in the harem, immediately remove the title of concubine, think about it behind closed doors, and don't go out without my permission! The harem director is handed over to Concubine Xian! The palace people of Xiangyun Palace are not able to persuade the lord to go to the cold palace to serve!"
"Your Majesty!" Meng Xiangyun clenched his fists and stood up: "How can you do it to me! Your Majesty has forgotten how Shu helped each other back then!"
"Do you still dare to threaten me?" Emperor Tang snorted coldly: "If you don't care about the feelings of the past! Poisoning the queen alone is enough for you to die a thousand times!"
"Your Majesty doesn't know whose slander you have heard! The queen's sister died of illness, how could the concubine have murdered her? The queen's sister has been sick for many years, if Your Majesty thinks that the concubine murdered her, why didn't you convict the concubine back then?"
"I don't have time to listen to your quibbles! I will send someone to send you the evidence! I will also send someone to inform the Emperor of Shu. Send her to the palace to think about it! confiscate the seal of the concubine!" After speaking, Emperor Tang signaled his subordinates to drive: "Go back to the palace!"
When Zhou Rong returned to King Rui's Mansion, the sky was already white.
Baili Weizheng grabbed Hu Qing with a smiling face: "Can Second Master Hu talk now?"
Hu Erye has never come out since he entered the small building. Even Bailiwei took over Shen Pengrun's father and son and the heroic general, but Hu Erye didn't come out.
Bailiwei waited for most of the night and was really anxious, and he would catch Hu Erye and not let go.
"Ha......" Hu Qing yawned a long time: "Master is sleepy! I don't have time to tell you! I said that Bailiwei is seeing that the sky is dawning, and you don't care if your lord can come back, just worry about some inconsequential things." ”
"You!" Bai Liwei endured most of the night and accompanied him with a smiling face, and at this moment, seeing Hu Qing so taunted, he reached out and grabbed Hu Er's collar: "Believe it or not, I beat you!"
"Stop!" Zhou Rong said coldly.
"Lord!" Bai Liwei hurriedly rushed over: "You are finally back! The general is not at ease to pick you up." ”
"Ahh Hu Qing said and looked behind Zhou Rong and asked in a low voice, "What about Mr. Jimo?" Fang just told Shen Mingyan that Zhou Rong and Jimo Huaijin had both entered the palace, looking at her worried look, Hu Qing was not happy when he thought about it, but at this moment, seeing that Jimo Huaijin did not come back, he was still worried.
"Still in the palace!"
"What!, Mr. didn't come back?" Shen Mingyan had already run over and grabbed Zhou Rong's arm: "You tell me what's wrong with Mr.?"
"Catch up with your master!" Zhou Rong said and stretched out his long arm to take Shen Mingyan into his arms, holding her hand and nodding his chest: "The person you should be worried about is here!"
