Chapter 478: Water and Sky Pavilion
When Li Tianqi returned to Chang'an and came to the door of the county lord's mansion again, he found that the gate was already closed and there were no guards. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He originally wanted to use the power of the county lord to inquire about where the Shui Tianyi Pavilion was and where it was in the palace. But in this way, he can only rely on himself.
To avoid attracting attention, he settled in the Gaosheng Inn near the South City Gate.
At night, he changed into a set of night clothes, covered his face and performed the newly learned Qimen Dunjia technique, quietly entered the palace through the wall, and went straight to the East Palace.
There were already many buildings in the Imperial Palace, and he groped his way along the road he had traveled at that time based on the memory of entering the East Palace on that day.
From time to time, the guards who walked by in groups made him have to wake up his spirits, but fortunately, the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master taught the technique of Passing Through the Wall in the Ground was very useful, and he skillfully used it and came to the East Palace safely.
The guards in the East Palace are no worse than the guards shuttling between the palace walls, with torches and figures.
Li Tianqi, who was hiding behind a rockery, wanted to get up and go to a side hall, and suddenly found two maidservants who looked like maids carrying food boxes in one hand and lanterns in the other hurriedly walking to the back garden. He thought of Meng Geyuan and the other three women in white who had disappeared at that time.
As soon as his mind moved, he quietly followed.
The two maidservants spoke softly, helplessly, for they did not like to go to the dungeon all the time, which was not only dark and damp, but also frightening.
The dungeon is hidden in a back garden. There were a number of uniformed sergeants guarding the door, and one of them, who seemed to be a small leader, looked obscene, and when he saw two maidservants coming with food boxes, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
After arguing with the two maidservants for a while, the little leader asked his men to open the door to the back garden. The two maidservants hurried in.
The little leader looked at their backs and looked confused.
Li Tianqi entered the back garden through the wall, and a refreshing fragrance of fragrant grass suddenly came to his nose. He came to a field of flowers and trees.
Through the gap, I could faintly see the two maidservants hurrying away in broken steps, not as easy as when they spoke softly.
The two walked along the winding path for more than 100 zhang, and came to a small hill, and saw a stone gate on it. A wooden stake was erected on each side of the stone gate, and torches were placed diagonally on the stake.
A number of armored guards were gathering around the brazier next to the stone gate to keep warm, and they noticed that the two maidservants were coming, probably because of familiarity, and after a few brief greetings, the armored guards opened the iron lock, and then pushed the heavy stone door open together.
Behind the stone gate, a road stretched downward, with fires on both sides of the road. The two maidservants propped up the lantern in their hands on a stake, and went down with the food box.
When the guards saw them enter, they all restored the stone door and locked it again.
Li Tianqi saw that he was guarding this place layer by layer, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, he used the method of escaping the ground, and followed him to the dungeon.
Unexpectedly, after he cast a spell and came to the dungeon, he appeared in a vacant cell, and the two maidservants were walking towards him, less than half a foot, and it was obviously too late to cast a spell to escape again. He simply tore off the veil and put his backhand on his waist, pretending to be a criminal imprisoned here.
As soon as he was ready, the two maids had already walked over, and when they saw that there was a new criminal here, they couldn't help but be stunned, and when they saw Li Tianqi so handsome, the two of them suddenly felt a sense of shyness, and they actually looked at each other and smiled, and instead of continuing to move forward, they stopped in front of him.
The round-faced maid grinned, "Yo, this little brother, what did you do?" ”
Li Tianqi didn't expect her to ask such a question, and hurriedly replied: "I offended someone." ”
The square-faced maid said, "Isn't that nonsense? If you didn't offend the characters in the East Palace, who would lock you up here? ”
The round-faced maid seemed to have an inexplicable interest in Li Tianqi, stared at him directly, suddenly opened the food box, took out a plate of spicy chicken from it, handed it to Li Tianqi and said, "Look at your green face, I guess you're hungry, right?" ”
The square-faced maid pushed the companion and said, "What, you really like him?" Let's go, don't make trouble for yourself, after delivering the meal, we have to talk back to the master. ”
The round-faced maid said: "Hmph, those goblins don't care about him, and it won't be what happens if he eats less." ”
"Shh The square-faced maidservant glanced left and right, and said, "You don't want to live anymore, talk like this, be quiet." ”
The round-faced maid snorted lightly, lifted the spicy chicken in her hand, and said to Li Tianqi: "Hurry up and take it and eat it." ”
The square-faced maid pointed to Li Tianqi's hand and said to her companion: "His hand is tied with his backhand." ”
Although Li Tianqi was helpless, he wished that the two of them would hurry away so as not to attract the attention of the guards, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you." I'm not hungry. Hurry up and send us food. ”
The round-faced maid's face suddenly sank, and the smile that was still on her face suddenly disappeared, and she said slightly angrily: "What? You still don't like me, can't wait? ”
Li Tianqi didn't expect her to turn her face faster than turning a book, and just as she was about to say something, the square-faced maid spoke again, she was speaking for her companion this time, she said: "Yes, you kid don't give a shame, this is our kindness." But you said no? ”
Li Tianqi looked at the faint figure swaying in the depths of the cell, it seemed that this dungeon was quite large, and there must be another guard in it, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll eat, thank you." ”
The round-faced maid laughed again and said, "You eat, I'll feed you." ”
The square-faced maid shook her head and said no more.
Li Tianqi had to bite the bullet and eat the spicy chicken, not to mention, it was really delicious, he quickly ate several pieces, and then said to them: "Such a delicious thing, leave it for me to eat slowly, right?" ”
The round-faced maid thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll put it on the ground." In two days' time, it will be our turn to deliver food, and I'll get you something delicious at that time. "Anyway, I really put the plate of spicy chicken on the ground.
Li Tianqi nodded in thanks one after another.
"Let's go. Don't delay too long. The square-faced maid kindly reminded.
"Hmm." The round-faced maid reluctantly left with her companion and went deeper into the cell.
Li Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, put on a masked towel again, carefully observed the situation in the prison, and found that it was very quiet, and there were no other prisoners at all.
He recited the incantation, and one by one he passed through the walls, from cell to cell, and followed the two maidservants.
After walking dozens of feet, a number of armored sergeants appeared in the depths of the cell, and after they said hello to the two maidservants, they opened the iron door behind them.
After the iron door was opened, it was still brightly lit inside, but Li Tianqi still saw a familiar face from the crack in the door, and it was indeed Meng Geyuan.
An iron fence stood in front of her, her hair was a little messy, and she was still dressed in white, but the white clothes were covered with a lot of dust, and it seemed that she had been locked up here for a long time.
When he tried to see it again, the iron door was slowly closed.
Suddenly, there was the sound of many people running briskly in front of the dungeon, and at the same time, someone shouted, "Attention, there are assassins!" We have been ordered to come and strictly investigate the situation in the palace! ”
Hearing the shouts, the guards in front of the iron gate straightened up and stepped forward.
Li Tianqi was shocked, could it be that someone found his traces? Without further ado, he could not stay here for long, and he was now in a cell between the two men, and if they met, they would surely find themselves.
He hurriedly cast a spell and jumped out of the dungeon.
Since he already knew that Meng Geyuan and the others were in this dungeon, he could still find a way to rescue them, thinking about these things in his mind, he forgot for a moment that he was still flying in the chaos, and when he jumped out of it again, he found that he didn't know where he was.
A pool of clear water reflects the bright moon, sparkling water, and willows. The small bridge flying over the water connected a magnificent pavilion. It seems to be quite poetic.
What kind of place is this? In his mind, he had never been to this place at all, but the refreshing place still made people take a closer look.
The moonlight sprinkled on the path at your feet, you can see that they are all paved with pebbles of the same size, and various flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the path, which are neatly arranged.
Seeing this, Li Tianqi had already determined that this place must still be in the palace, and judging from the fact that the water surface could not see the edge and the flowers and plants were like spring, he deduced that this should be the imperial garden in the palace.
He couldn't help but move in his heart, the water and the sky are a pavilion, is this the place he is referring to? Only the Imperial Garden will have the view of the Water Sky Pavilion, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, he wanted to go to the magnificent pavilion in the middle of the water to see if it was the plaque of the Water Sky Pavilion.
There are no lights in this area, only the bright moonlight. No patrol guards were found.
Li Tianqi easily came to the pavilion and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the pavilion with the plaque.
However, he was disappointed, those words were not the words of Shui Tianyi Pavilion in his heart.
Just as he was still looking for clues to the Shuitian Pavilion, there was a sudden buzz of people not far away, and several columns of guards were coming here with torches in their hands. It's like a fiery dragon illuminating that land.
"Everyone must be careful tonight, there are assassins in the East Palace, and there must be a garrison here!"
Li Tianqi hurriedly ran out of the pavilion by taking advantage of the night, jumped into a bush of dense flowers and plants to hide.
The flowers and plants here were planted against a wall, and there was a "crackling" sound, and he suddenly stepped on a wooden plank, and looked down to see that there were still words on the board.
He hurriedly grabbed the plank, and by the moonlight, he could faintly see the words appearing on it - "Water and Sky Pavilion".
It took no effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find them, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic!
