Chapter 169: Siege

"Why can't it be a daughter?" Ye Chang'an asked rhetorically. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Uh......"

It seems to make sense.

Leek Ya's illness was completely cured, and Lin Qingran and Mu Changhong's task in the palace came to an end.

It's just that this time it's not over yet.

The main quest isn't that simple.

The next task for the two of them is to find the source of the medicine for this "Seven Star Sleep".

Things are complicated in the palace, but now the biggest finger is pointed at a man who has been mentioned many times before.

Canglan!

From the last mine incident, to the verbal provocation at the wedding in Chang'an at night, to the Seven Stars sleeping peacefully this time.

Every event and time again, there are Canglan's figures.

This had to make people look at him with suspicion.

In fact, this direction is the right one!

In addition to the royal family, the three most powerful people in Ningguo are the regent Ye Chang'an, the general Canglan, and the Prince Rui Ye Ningrui.

Most of the power of the royal family is in the hands of Ye Chang'an, although Ye Ningrui looks weak on the surface, but the news from Ye Chang'an's news network shows that this person's power is not lower than him at all, and even slightly better than him to some extent.

However, for now, Ye Ningrui will not have any illegal thoughts at least in the short term, otherwise, he can take advantage of Ye Chang'an's absence in the royal capital, even if Ye Chang'an immediately escapes to help after receiving the news, it will be too late.

As for the great general Canglan......

This is a careerist!

This is the label that Ye Chang'an impressed him the most.

Canglan was born in a family of generals, the descendant of the founding generals, and the only son of this generation.

The Cang family used to be a famous big family in the royal capital, but later there were few people, and in the end, only one male was left in Canglan, and the whole family even praised him to the sky.

He entered the battlefield at the age of nineteen, won his first battle, and since then he has been out of control, winning consecutive battles.

With a lot of military exploits, Canglan is even more arrogant and confident, especially after being named a general, although he gradually learned to hide, but the arrogance and invincibility in his eyes are still exposed in front of Ye Chang'an's eyes.

In addition, the previous incident of the mine was exposed by Ye Chang'an, so naturally there was a reason to take action against Ye Chang'an.

What's more, after the incident broke out, Canglan never hid his ambitions.

But he didn't know that he was already being targeted!

Maybe it's the smooth sailing over the years that has bred arrogance in Canglan's heart, and he gradually doesn't take anything in his eyes, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't hide it when he does something.

But this carelessness will soon make him realize how stupid his actions really are!

The initial target has been locked, and Lin Qingran and Mu Changhong naturally have nothing to hesitate about.

Ye Changan knew that the two people in front of him should have some abilities that were different from ordinary people, so after knowing that the purpose of the two was temporarily the same as his, he simply proposed to cooperate.

Cooperation is naturally mutually beneficial and win-win!

In terms of force, there are Lin Qingran and Mu Changhong, and in terms of power, there is Ye Chang'an.

Now that Canglan has unilaterally torn his face, Ye Chang'an is no longer polite and directly chooses the most violent way.

A group of cavalry marched out from under the plaque of the Regent's Palace, which had not yet been replaced, and hundreds of infantry followed behind the ranks, heading in the direction of the General's Palace with a clear goal.

It was lunch time, there were not many people on the street, and the group reached their destination unimpeded.

Ye Chang'an, who was wearing battle armor, looked at the plaque of the Great General's Mansion hanging on the gate, and a cold glow passed by his eyes.

Ye Chang'an raised his hand and made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him were neatly divided into two teams and began to surround the Great General's Mansion.

As for Lin Qingran and Mu Changhong, they had already arrived at the General's Mansion first, but they still didn't go to the main gate.

"By the way, why do we go over the wall every time?" Patting away Mu Changhong's hand that was still holding on, Lin Qingran looked up and looked around.

This is a corner under the outer wall of the General's Mansion, and just now, two people entered the mansion by climbing over the wall.

"Probably ......" Mu Changhong grabbed Lin Qingran's hand reluctantly and said, "It's more convenient than calling all the way in?" And it won't startle the snake. ”

Lin Qingran: "...... I'll give you full marks for this reason! ”

The surroundings were quiet, and there were gradually approaching footsteps in the distance, which should be the guards of the mansion patrolling.

"Hide and wait until they're past before you act!"

The footsteps are still approaching regularly.

Before coming in, the two of them had already obtained the layout plan of the General's Mansion from Ye Chang'an, so there was no problem at all in walking here, all they needed to do was to avoid the people in the mansion and then find some required information and proof.

Where do important things usually be placed?

In ancient times, this place was generally in a secret compartment or secret room in a study.

Bedroom...... Generally speaking, men who have married in ancient times either sleep in the study or have a beauty in their arms, so basically there will be no separate bedroom, and other rooms such as wives and concubines, after all, there are other people in them, and the secrecy is not high, so there is only such a place to hide things.

After evading four waves of guards on the way, the two of them successfully reached the study.

There was no one in the study!

Mu Changhong carefully observed for a while and then confirmed.

It was lunch time, and it was normal for no one to be in the study, and the two of them quietly entered the study through the open window.

The layout of the study room is similar to that of the study in the Chang'an Mansion at night, but the difference in decoration is just that.

On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal, but who would expose the anomaly to the eyes of people who come and go?!

After looking around, Mu Changhong walked to the wall and began to check the details.

No matter how delicate the mechanism is, there will be flaws, just like the books that can't be pulled out of a vase that can't be moved, and the empty walls, which are flaws that can't be concealed.

However, there was no such rough mechanism found here, at least Lin Qingran didn't find it.

Just when Lin Qingran was at a loss, Mu Changhong was still methodically checking all the suspicious details.

He has undergone professional training, and the modern mechanisms are much more difficult to solve than those studied by these ancients, and at the beginning of the study of this course, they have already understood the general tricks of the ancient mechanisms, and it is only a matter of time before they want to find the location of the mechanism!

"Click-" An inaudible voice sounded, and Mu Changhong's gaze froze.
