Western suburbs, Chongyun Pavilion.

I wasn't too shocked when I heard this place come out of Chabixing's mouth, because I had already realized the connection between him and these things when the Protector mage replaced the talisman on Miao Yan's chest before.

It's just that when I really heard it and was sure, my heartbeat still missed a beat.

Zha Bixing looked at me and said, "The eldest lady already knows"

I nodded: "I used to leave a book for the Protector Mage to make an appointment to meet, but that night, the Emperor stayed in my room and refused to leave, so I couldn't meet him. But the next morning, I found that the spirit talisman on Miao Yan's chest was replaced with a piece of yellow paper, I heard that this means that the ghost has been caught, and before, you asked Du Yan to bring me a letter, saying that you caught the ghost at home, so I guessed"

Zha Bixing smiled: "That's right. ”

"What the hell is going on, is that ghost a protector?"

"It's not. Zha Bixing said: "However, it is indeed the protector mage who is sheltering that ghost." ”

"That ghost, it can't really be a ghost, who the hell is pretending to be a ghost in my house?"

"Of course it's not a ghost, just a crazy old woman. ”

"What" I was shocked: "Crazy old woman"

"yes. ”

While rubbing his knees, Zhabixing said, "I heard her crying outside the door at night several times, but as soon as she went out, she couldn't find anyone. I thought that someone was deliberately making a crazy woman to disturb the eldest lady, but one night, I stayed on patrol all night and followed her. ”

"That's"

"Then I found out that someone was following her, or rather, protecting her. ”

"Protect her" I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood: "The people of Chongyun Pavilion"

"Yes. The people over there took her back, and I followed her along the way, and I followed her to Chongyun Pavilion. That night, I sneaked in. ”

My breathing became tight.

I thought back to wanting to go to Chongyun Pavilion several times before, but I never made the trip, even if Pei Yuanhao was wary of me, that place itself was not an ordinary destination. At a glance at the Taimiao, I also faintly felt the strength of the Protector and those who followed him, I was afraid that I would not suppress the emperor's Praetorian Guard, and Zha Bixing actually dared to sneak into Chongyun Pavilion as soon as he found them

He's really a master of art and bold

But that's fine, I'm anxious to know about the Protector Mage, and it would be nice to have him go in and take a look. I hurriedly asked, "Then what do you see in it?"

Zha Bixing shrugged: "I only found the crazy woman." ”

"What didn't you go in again?"

"Go in again" Zha Bixing looked at me with a smile: "Miss, do you really think that I am so capable, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, there are strict guards in there, that protector mage, his subordinates all have knives"

"Is there a guard of the court protecting him with a knife?"

"What kind of imperial guards, monks?"

"Monk Soldier"

I gasped.

Monks and soldiers, in fact, is not uncommon, although the monks have never been forbidden to practice martial arts, so as not to disturb the crowd, some scriptures also have a clear record, monks are not allowed to hold knives, staffs, bows and arrows and other tools to kill, but, the former dynasty Buddha, those emperors are very generous to the monks, often a large amount of land and wealth to some monasteries, it has become the private property of the temple, in the war period, in order to protect these things from being looted, only began to have monks.

However, there were monks and soldiers with swords in Chongyun Pavilion, which really surprised me.

In other words, that protector should be a great monk

Hearing me say this, Chabixing shook his head: "It's not a monk, it's a bhikshuni." ”

"Bhikshunis"

"Yes. ”

"How old is it?"

"I can't see it, but look at her eyes, my eyes have turned gray, I'm afraid she's not young. ”

"You met her"

"Yes, as soon as I found the madwoman's room, I was seized by the men, who tied me up and brought me to her, and asked if I should be thrown into the furnace and burned to death. Obediently, these are all monks, why are they more ruthless than the butcher and want to burn me, why don't they use me for shabu-shabu?"

“”

"I was on fire at the time, pointing at them and scolding, these people, one by one, seemed to come from the palace of Hades, and there was no expression on their faces, they tied me up like my rice dumplings, and put them in the pyre, which scared me, and I broke out in a cold sweat on a snowy day, and my clothes were wet."

At this time, I was also shocked into a cold sweat, but seeing that he was still jumping in front of me, I knew that although the situation at that time was very scary, it must have been dangerous, so I asked, "What about later?"

"The old nun looked at me for a while, and then let the people let me go, and they didn't trouble me anymore. ”

“”

Then she asked me if I was from Xichuan and if I was the old lady of the eldest lady. ”

My heart couldn't help but tighten a little: "She, know me"

"I can't say whether I know her or not, she knows the eldest lady, but I think there are few people in the capital who don't know the eldest lady. ”

I was silent and didn't speak.

"But," said Zha Bixing, looking at me, "she then suddenly asked me about Madame." ”

I was stunned: "My mother"

"Yes, she asked me about the eldest lady. ”

My breathing suddenly tightened again: "She knows my mother"

Zha Bixing said: "If you want to talk about the eldest lady, you may still hear rumors, but if you say that the eldest lady also knows, even I may not know. ”

"Did she say anything?"

She didn't want to say anything, she just asked, but I didn't know much about the eldest lady, not to mention, the eldest lady didn't allow it, and I couldn't take out the eldest lady's affairs and talk about it everywhere, so I didn't say anything. ”

I said, "You're doing the right thing. ”

Zha Bixing laughed.

I smiled, too, but I couldn't.

The mood is very heavy.

Although I have made many guesses about the mysterious Protector Mage in Hedge Cloud Pavilion, when her true face is about to be exposed in front of me, I still can't help but be shocked in my heart, this person is actually an old nun, and according to Zha Bixing's description of her, she is not young, and it is very likely that she is the Protector Mage who once helped Emperor Gao to perform the sacrifice in the Ming Hall recorded in the living note

In this way, she has gone through three dynasties

Thinking of this, my heart is even heavier There is such a person in this capital, and it is not one, this protector mage, and the mysterious old Taoist priest have no desire to speak, they have all experienced three dynasties, all hidden in unknown dark places, and even, they are inextricably linked with my mother

It stuck in my throat.

But fortunately, Zha Bixing was smart, and he didn't tell the protector about his mother. I think that this mage may not be very interested in me, she should be really interested in my mother, if Zha Bixing and Pan confess, then I will have no role in this, but if Zha Bixing doesn't say anything, this protector mage must have to face me again.

Thinking of this, I said, "Then she will let you come back later."

"That's right. ”

"Is there anything else to say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said, I don't want to say, she will come and ask the eldest lady in person. ”

"Oh"

I nodded like that, and that's fine.

Zha Bixing said again: "However, eldest lady, although this person is from the Liberation Gate, his hands are very black. If the eldest lady really wants to meet her, it's better to bring someone, preferably me."

"I see. ”

That protector shouldn't have any hostility towards me, but now that I'm like this, I don't know when I'm going to see her.

Unless Nangong Lizhu is a little sicker

This thought only flashed in my mind for a moment, and I immediately overturned it, not to mention that if I really want to play any shady tricks on her, not to mention the damage to the yin skull, I will also give my children and grandchildren, and give me good words;

It seems that there is still a way to find a way.

Thinking of this, I raised my head again to look at Xiang Bixing, and then asked him to pass on the message

Zha Bixing blinked his eyes, and seemed to see what I was thinking, so he said: "Miss, I can't run recently, look at my legs, look at this frozen tsk"

I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Besides, I don't know what the Emperor meant by bringing me here. ”

“”

Of course, he's not a fool either.

From ancient times to the present, the final fate of those who sue the emperor will not be good, almost all of them are assigned 3,000 miles to fill the army, no matter how bad it is, it is a beating, and those like him can still be thrown to the Jixian Palace, which is already a special case among the special cases.

Pei Yuanhao's meaning couldn't be clearer.

However, when I said that, I continued to ask, "By the way, I'm going to ask you about this as well." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The matter of the letter. No, you really let people put it in my room."

Zha Bixing immediately laughed: "What does the eldest lady say, even if I have the courage, I don't dare to break into the eldest lady's room."

"Then why did you say yes so easily?"

"If you don't promise to be happy, those people are just afraid that they will still hold on to the letter."

“”

This time, I didn't speak.

Indeed, if we hold on to that letter, Nangong Jinhong still has too many opportunities, but once we admit that letter, the initiative is in our hands.

"However, I followed your words and promised the emperor about Xichuan, and I naturally have no problem on that side, but he may not be willing to agree to Qingchen."

Zha Bixing looked at me with a smile: "Who said that the head of the family refused to agree?"
