Chapter 014 - Calculation in Calculation
Prince An's Mansion is a super-grade Prince's Mansion, and all the configurations are one level higher than ordinary Prince's Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Not to mention anything else, just the palace of the palace, looking at the entire capital, except for the palace, Prince An's mansion is called the second, and no one dares to call it the first.
A huge group of buildings, one into one set, pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, gardens, layer upon layer, throw anyone who is not familiar with the terrain into it, get lost in minutes.
Fortunately, although Prince An's Mansion is large enough, the overall architectural style is still in accordance with the unified specifications of the Great Qi Dynasty, namely: Zhengzhong Road, East and West Road. The elders of the family or the elders live in the main courtyard of the central axis, while the eldest inherits a room on the east road, and the other children and grandchildren live on the west road.
Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo were born in powerful families, and they have been wandering around similar mansions since they were children, so they are all too familiar with such a pattern.
Even though it was the first time they had sneaked into Prince An's mansion, and it was still in the dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, they still had a thrilling touch to the Furong Garden on the East Road.
Why do you say 'there is no danger', don't forget, this is Prince An's Mansion. Ordinary royal palaces have personal guards, not to mention the super Pin'an prince's mansion, which has been favored by two generations of emperors.
In addition, Prince An has been in charge of the army for many years, and when he was the first emperor, he was also in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and many of the middle and high-level generals who are now active in the capital are from Prince An's command.
Prince An's influence in the Gyeonggi camp is very strong, and the personal guards in his palace are basically trained by him, and he has been on the battlefield and suppressed bandits, which is by no means comparable to those who rely on the shadow of their ancestors and hang up their positions.
The guards of Prince An's Mansion can't be said to be more powerful than the Praetorian Guards, but they can't find out where they are.
The few that can compete with it are probably the four major princes.
Qi Jinzhi can enter and exit the Zhao Guogong Mansion at will, firstly, he is familiar with the terrain and has a slight understanding of the patrol rules of the Gu family's guards; Second, it is also a solo ride, and a person will not attract attention.
Tonight was different, Qi Jinzhi only roughly knew the layout of the palace and the residence of Master Miaozhen, and the rest, such as how many guards there were in the palace, how long the interval between night patrols, and how good the guards were, all of them were black-eyed.
Not to mention that he also has a wife by his side who knows some kung fu but is not good at it, and it is not easy for Qi Jinzhi to be able to evade the patrolling guards.
In the dark night, two figures, one large and one small, jumped quickly in the deep courtyard, and it took a long time for the two to see the small courtyard with the 'Furong Garden' hanging on it.
"Whew~ It's dangerous, I've finally found it."
Gu Jialuo pulled down the black face towel on his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in a low voice.
"It's our Meng Lang today, we should do more homework and come back."
Qi Jinzhi wiped a cold sweat, it was he who held it up, thinking that he was good at kung fu and had rich combat experience, and the four major princes could walk on the ground as if they were on the ground, so he thought that he could be unimpeded in Prince An's mansion.
Fortunately, God gave face tonight, and the dense night concealed the figure of their husband and wife.
Coupled with the fact that the guards of the palace seemed to be a little loose, their husband and wife were not discovered, let alone arrested as 'assassins'.
"It's because I'm anxious," Gu Jialuo rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, then looked left and right, and made sure that there were no guards patrolling around, so he pulled Laqi Jinzhi's arm, "Uncle, let's go in." β
Qi Jinzhi was a little more careful because of Fang Cai's 'all the way through', he pressed Gu Jialuo's soft hand, "Don't worry, Ah Luo, let me go in first to see." You are waiting here, waiting for my signal. β
As he spoke, he raised the little finger of his right hand to his lips and made a whistle gesture.
Gu Jialuo thought about it and felt reasonable. She is not the kind of stupid woman who has no self-knowledge, she must be obedient if she doesn't reach out well enough, otherwise her whereabouts will be exposed, and tonight their husband and wife will not only be 'ashamed'.
"Okay, uncle, you should be more careful."
Gu Jialuo whispered, pulled out his whip casually, and stood in front of the courtyard gate to let out the wind.
Qi Jinzhi nodded, took a few steps back, pulled himself up suddenly, kicked the courtyard wall hard with his feet in mid-air, and then the whole person was like a light bird, easily jumped on the wall, and then another harrier turned over, like a leaf silently falling into the yard.
The night was getting thicker, the icy cold wind was getting colder and colder, Gu Jialuo was wearing a thin night clothes, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes kept looking around, but her feet couldn't help but move.
Suddenly, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, and an inexplicable sense of crisis hit her heart, she clenched her whip, not daring to look back rashly, but trying to hold her breath, trying to find the source of danger.
Pounding ~~
Gu Jialuo was so nervous that he could hear his heartbeat, and the blood around his body was about to be coagulated.
"Who?"
Gu Jialuo turned around suddenly, and the whip in his hand had turned into a spirit snake out of the hole, and it was straight towards the person.
No, the whip of Gu Jialuo's raid was easily grasped in his hand.
Gu Jialuo was shocked and hurriedly looked at the comer.
I saw that the person who came was a woman about thirty years old, with a beautiful and elegant face, a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and a gentle and demure from her bones.
If you ignore the whip that she wrapped around Gu Jialuo with one hand, just looking at her appearance and temperament, Gu Jialuo would mistakenly think that she was a noblewoman.
"Shh~~ Don't be surprised, young master, don't attract patrols." The woman raised her other hand, her white and slender index finger against her lips, and made a standard silent motion.
When Gu Jialuo heard the word 'young master', her tense nerves relaxed slightly, but she didn't dare to completely relax her guard, looked at the woman, and then looked at the Furong Garden behind her, and asked repeatedly, "Who are you?" How is my husband? β
The woman smiled gently, and bowed to Gu Jia Luo Yingying: "Subordinate Xiao Da, I have seen the young master." The young master doesn't have to worry, Uncle Qi is now resting in the main room. β
Gu Jialuo was secretly shocked-
First, this woman turned out to be 'Xiao Da'. Master Miaozhen has dozens of henchmen under him, and these people, regardless of gender, or age, are all ranked according to their skills and abilities.
The higher the ranking, the more powerful it is.
Among them, Gu Jialuo has already met Xiao Thirteen, Xiao Nineteen, and Xiao Twenty-nine, and has personally experienced the skills of these people.
Xiao Thirteen worked hard, and You Shan inquired about the news.
Xiao Shijiu's martial arts are not outstanding, but he is the best at medical skills and concealment techniques.
Xiao Twenty-Nine is the most mediocre of the three, and the time she has spent with Gu Jialuo is also short, she has not discovered Xiao Twenty-Nine's strength for the time being.
But Xiao Twenty-Nine can make the angel sent by the saint Wu Gonggong silent, and let the accompanying Jinyi guard temporarily avoid the edge, thinking that it should not be useless wastewood.
The people in the top ten or twenty are so powerful, and what kind of person will be the number one person?
Again, this woman bluntly said that Qi Jinzhi was 'taking a nap'. Just kidding, what kind of person is Qi Jinzhi, and how is Gu Jialuo not clear?
can subdue Qi Jinzhi silently in a short period of time, and also let him 'take a break', and the people inside must not be underestimated.
If Xiao Dafang hadn't called out the word 'young master', just the woman's 'rest' would have been enough to make Gu Jialuo jump up and fight with her.
Rao is like this, Gu Jialuo also looked at Xiao Da with fear and vigilance, "You didn't hurt him, did you?" What about the masters? Is the master alright? β
Xiao Da glanced around, let go of his hand, returned the whip to Gu Jialuo, and said in his mouth: "Young master, this is not the place to talk, please come in, and your subordinates will definitely tell you everything." β
Gu Jialuo pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay." I'll go in with you! β
With that, she flipped her wrist and wrapped the whip around her arm, her right hand clenched tightly, faintly maintaining a posture of preparation.
Xiao Da didn't care, opened his body sideways, let go of the discharge door, and then bowed down, led with his right hand, and respectfully asked Gu Jialuo to go first.
Gu Jialuo did not hesitate, and raised his feet into the Furong Garden.
Xiao Da followed closely, she was very careful about proportion, and always stayed one step behind Gu Jialuo.
As soon as the two entered the door, someone rushed over and gently closed the courtyard door.
"Squeak~"
The door shaft made a soft sound, 'bang', and the courtyard door was closed.
Gu Jialuo's heart trembled, but his face did not show the slightest.
She looked up and took a closer look at the courtyard around her. Furong Garden is a small courtyard with two entrances, and when you enter the courtyard gate and step through a hanging flower door, five bright main halls come into view.
Gu Jialuo saw it and nodded secretly: Yes, the master's former identity was Princess Changning, and her courtyard naturally came according to the princess's specifications. This is not a special princess's mansion, but it also has a front hall and an apse.
The one that he had just passed through should be the place where the master usually entertained guests. And the house in front of him is the daily living place of the master.
At this moment, the hall is brightly lit, and lanterns hang under the long corridor, which illuminates the whole courtyard very brightly.
There didn't seem to be anyone in the courtyard, but Gu Jialuo's instincts told her that there must be many masters hidden in the corners she couldn't see.
It's just that she's still not sure which master those masters belong to.
I hope everything is still under the master's control, otherwise, the couple will be more and less lucky tonight.
While thinking wildly, Gu Jialuo slowly walked up the steps and went straight into the main hall.
The first thing I saw was a seat screen embroidered with red sandalwood embroidered with a hundred birds and a phoenix.
Bypassing the screen, in the center of the main hall was the five-screen throne of red sandalwood, which Gu Jialuo knew was the exclusive seat of the master.
Under the hall, there are two rosewood four-headed official hat chairs facing the throne, and there are small ornaments such as high tables, candlestick holders, and hat racks in the corner, which are basically carved from red sandalwood.
Looking at the entire main hall, the red sandalwood furniture of Yishui is rich and atmospheric, and even the lichen on the ground is also rich and auspicious with red flowers.
Exclusive to the royal momentum pavement.
However, for some reason, Gu Jialuo felt extremely cold and unpopular.
"Young master, please come here~"
Xiao Da reminded behind her in a low voice.
Gu Jialuo turned around and followed Xiao Da's guidance into the western room.
Entering the door is still a screen, red sandalwood seats, glass painting hearts, less deliberate, more interesting.
Behind the screen is a rich, intricate stepping bed, each as big as a room.
In the space outside the bed, there were several maids dressed in palace clothes.
Gu Jialuo took a closer look and found several familiar faces. Belch! Great, it's the master's personal maid.
Seeing them, Gu Jialuo was obviously relieved.
"Young Master, you're finally back!"
Gu Jialuo followed the prestige, and after seeing the faces of the people who came, he was immediately overjoyed. The person who came was not an outsider, but Tao's mother, one of the master's henchmen.
"Mom, it's great to see you, how is the master? Has it ever improved? β
Gu Jialuo took two quick steps, grabbed Tao's mother's hand, and asked excitedly.
Mother Tao looked at Gu Jialuo lovingly, and a touch of relief flashed in her eyes, she was worthy of being a person valued by her master, and she really had a conscience. Unlike some sluts in the palace, they are simply white-eyed wolves that can't be raised.
She held Gu Jialuo's hand with her backhand and shook her head gently, "The master is still like that, he has always been asleep. β
Gu Jialuo's expression suddenly became solemn, and he hurriedly said, "I want to go and see the master." β
Mother Tao didn't say anything, and led Gu Jialuo into the inner room of the stepping bed. On the spacious bed, Master Miao Zhen was sleeping soundly.
Her face was slightly pale, her breathing was quite steady, and there were two people dressed as palace maids, massaging her body from time to time.
Gu Jialuo knew that this was to prevent the master from atrophying his muscles due to his long-term coma.
"Master~~"
Gu Jialuo sat on the edge of the bed and held Miaozhen's unconscious hand. The originally warm and soft hands did not have the touch they used to have, but were a little more cold and dry.
It's only been three months, and the master has already lost weight to a handful of bones!
My nose felt so sour for no reason, and tears dripped down in large quantities.
Who? Who did this poison to cause the master to become this half-dead ghost?!
Mother Tao and the maids watched quietly. Seeing that Gu Jialuo was crying uncontrollably, Tao's mother silently handed over a handkerchief.
"Woo, Master, you've suffered, I'm sorry, Aro is late. Aro, Aro should have come back to see you sooner. β
Gu Jialuo wiped his face indiscriminately and muttered in a choked voice.
After a full quarter of an hour, Gu Jialuo's cry gradually weakened.
Xiao Daqing's cold voice came, "Young master, there is something that my subordinates still need to discuss with you." β
Gu Jialuo sniffed and asked in a thick nasal voice, "What's the matter?" β
Xiao Da walked closer, took out a piece of paper from the placket of his clothes and sent it to Gu Jialuo.
Gu Jialuo reached out and took the piece of paper, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but change her face slightly, she stared at Xiao Da with wide eyes: "This, this is?" β
Xiao Da's expression did not move, and he looked back at Gu Jialuo fixedly, "Is the young master willing?" β
Gu Jialuo and Xiao Da looked at each other for a long time, and nodded slowly, "I came back for this, so naturally I am willing!" β
Xiao Da finally showed an expression other than 'smile' on her face, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, and there was a sense of relief and joy in her bones, "That's good." However, this matter involves a lot, and I ask the young master to keep it secret for the time being. β
Gu Jialuo seemed to think of something, his pupils shrank, and he blurted out: "Could it be this, this isβ"
Before he could say it, Gu Jialuo realized that he was reckless, and hurriedly covered his mouth and swallowed the second half of his sentence.
Xiao Da nodded slowly, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty cold light: "That's right, everything is just as the young master thinks." Since those people dare to calculate their masters, they will have to suffer the consequences......"
