Just when the Wang Sheren were busy promoting their murderous fame thousands of miles away, the Xin'an County Mansion of Chang'an City was very comfortable sending posts to relatives and friends, inviting them to go out of Beijing to the hot spring Zhuangzi to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Pu Wang Li Tai, Princess Pu Zhou, Princess Changning Sisters, Xin'an County Lord, Qin Family Brothers and Sisters and other people all responded and prepared to travel with great interest.

At this time, it is the spring of February, and although there is still occasional heavy snowfall, the weather has gradually warmed up. The hot spring village is already warmer than other places, and the peach blossoms planted are in full bloom, shining like clouds, which is particularly gorgeous and moving. King Xin'an slowly lingered under the tree, looking at the little ladies who were sniffing the flowers not far away, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised. Even if it is not for anything else, just for this peach forest with brilliant flowers, this trip is not in vain.

"Uncle!" Nephew Li Qiao pounced on him from behind and hugged his legs.

Li Hui picked him up and led him back to Li Tai, who was panting and chasing after him. The poor chubby and fat His Royal Highness King Pu was full of thoughts at the beginning of leading his grandchildren and little nieces to wander in the peach blossom forest and enjoy the fun of teasing his grandchildren. He is far less sensitive than his grandchildren, and he moved for a long time before he found his grandson, but he was intercepted by his son halfway.

His Royal Highness King Pu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. These days, Yan and Li Xin are busy, and Zhou's body is also a little uncomfortable, and he is alone to raise his grandchildren. Who knows, the granddaughter saw the little niece and left hand in hand, and the nephew talked to his uncle in front of him every day. It was clearly his grandfather who worked hard, but the two little ones didn't remember the old grandfather at all when they were interested.

"Grandpa, I ordered someone to make a fire in the warm pavilion in front of you, why don't you take Da Lang to rest for a while?" Li Hui hugged his nephew in one hand and supported his father with the other, "You are all sweating, but you can't get cold because you covet the beautiful scenery." Although Zhuangzi is warm, it is still snowy in the end, and it cannot be ignored. ”

"It's fine." Li Tai replied, not mentioning that he was so tired that he could barely move, and reluctantly followed his son forward, "Speaking of which, why have we never thought of setting up a hot spring village near Lishan?" Even if the saint doesn't come to the Lishan Palace, we can come and rest for a while at any time. In this kind of weather, you should soak in the hot soup to ward off the cold and get rid of the disease. Another day, you can inquire about which other family is willing to sell Zhuangzi. There is no reason why even the Du family can pick up a bargain, but our Pu Wangfu can't buy it. ”

It's not that His Royal Highness King Pu looks down on his in-laws, it's that the Du family is really a little shabby at the moment.

Not to mention that the vacancies of their family Langjun were filled by relying on the face of the Pu Wangfu and the Xin'an County Palace, Li Hui also personally picked a good real vacancy for them and entered the Ministry of Industry of Shangshu Province. Even if the Ministry of Industry is inconspicuous among the six ministries, it is much better than the petty officials they served in the past. Not to mention that after their family moved into the capital, the mansion they lived in was given by Li Hui.

If the Du family's current industrial output is added up, it may only be three to five hundred yuan a year. It seems that three or five hundred is not a lot, but the whole family of more than a dozen people and a hundred or so slaves can only live a simple life. The pomp and circumstance of the princess of Xin'an County's mother's house, even if they wanted to, they couldn't put it out.

But this Du family can still squeeze out two hundred yuan to buy this hot spring village worth more than five or six hundred yuan, I have to say that their luck is really a little weird. His Royal Highness King Pu was not stupid, and always felt that something seemed to be wrong, so he mentioned in a serious tone: "Maybe someone wants to go your way and wants to bribe your wife first." You can't be easily deceived by the wind on your pillow and do what you shouldn't do. ”

It was rare to hear such a reasonable teaching from his grandfather, Li Hui couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa, don't worry." I have already sent someone to check the source of this Zhuangzi, and I have found no problem for the time being. In order to avoid negligence in the Du family, the princess specially sent the housekeeper who was trusted by her in her mother's house. Because it was personally assigned by the princess, if she wanted to come to the Du family, she would not easily use this Zhuangzi to do anything illegal. "Of course, just because you don't find a problem now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future.

"If only you understood." His Royal Highness King Pu raised his chin, "Don't forget about your hot spring Zhuangzi, go." ”

Li Hui put his nephew down, stroked his little head, and then watched the two grandparents enter the warm pavilion to rest.

Immediately afterwards, as soon as he turned around, Yang Shen's little face was revealed under the peach tree next to him: "Sir, I found five secret passages, and they are extremely secretive. There are two secret passages that can only be entered by children or women, and a man of his stature should not be able to enter. "The little guy knows the secret passages of the Xin'an County Mansion and the Changning Princess Mansion well, and it seems that he is born with an extraordinarily keen awareness, and he can easily find many clues. Therefore, after arriving at the hot spring Shoko, he was given the task of "finding the secret passage".

Li Hui raised his eyebrows slightly: "Take me to take a look." ”

The master and apprentice walked in the secret passage. The three secret passages that can be walked around are empty, and they are only passable in the hot spring village: from the main house of the main house, all the way to the vicinity of the hot spring pool, which is about convenient for the owner's family to bathe at any time; From the bottom of the inner hall, it leads to another hot pool, which is presumably intended for the hostess; There is also a hot spring pool from the kitchen, which is likely to be used for food and drink at any time.

If the people in the hot spring village inadvertently discovered these three secret passages, they would probably only laugh, and it is very likely that they would naturally ignore the other two secret passages that men could not pass through at all. The entrance to the cave is so narrow that even children and women have to hunch over to enter it - it may seem to the casual that they are just two rockery caves.

Li Hui looked at the entrance of the cramped secret passage, and Yang Shen drilled into it and poked out his little head. He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "If a man as thin as a woman or a boy is a man, he should be able to enter the secret passage?" The fiefdom of the king of Jiangxia was southern, and perhaps he deliberately summoned men of short stature to train as a troop. Ah Tao, go and find out where the secret passage leads? Is it inside or outside Lishan? ”

Yang Shen then walked away with a torch, and after nearly two hours, he walked through the two secret passages: "Sir, there are a lot of armor and weapons piled up in it, and there are more than a hundred pairs of them!" ”

"......" should be said, is it true? Li Hui hooked the corners of his lips and smiled. The trick of framing has been used too many times, but the king of Jiangxia still does not shy away from wanting to use it again, maybe there will be a follow-up? "Where does that lead?"

"It should be in the mountains and forests of a nearby manor, and I didn't go out to check it out for fear of startling the grass and snakes. Sir, what should we do now? Yang Shen's eyes were shining, as if he had a strong interest in this matter.

"First, you draw a map and mark the hidden areas of your armor and weapons. Then, summon all the troops and ask them to open another secret passage so that these armor and weapons can be transported away silently at any time. Again, they had to install the appropriate mechanisms in these two passages. Even if you can't kill all these thieves, you can completely block them inside, and you must not let them escape. Li Hui smiled, "If you think it's interesting, you can take a closer look at it from the side, or be careful of accidentally injuring yourself in the future." ”

The tribes of the Xin'an County Mansion are all too familiar with the construction and reconstruction of the secret passages - after all, the secret passages under the princess's mansion and the county king's mansion are all the ones they have worked hard to dig. In just a few days, they were able to change the underground of this hot spring village without realizing it.

Yang Shen nodded and left immediately, even his steps seemed to have a sense of lightness. Not long after he left, Princess Yong'an and the lord of Shouyang County came hand in hand to find him to play tricks, and after hearing that he was not there, the two little ladies were quite disappointed. Li Hui comforted them for a moment, personally picked flowers for them, and put the hairpins on the double buns, and they turned into joy.

After thoroughly checking the entire hot spring Zhuangzi over and over again, and installing enough people, the king of Xin'an County had the leisure to enjoy the hot springs. It was late at night, and he leaned against the white marble and looked up at the sky. There were bursts of laughter like silver bells in the distance, and I thought that the ladies were still laughing in the hot spring, which made him lonely and lonely.

Perhaps because of this situation, he suddenly missed Wang Zixian, who was thousands of miles away. Because of the need to avoid suspicion, they did not communicate frequently. After arriving at the Taiyuan Mansion Palace, Wang Zixian only brought a letter of peace to his family, with a thin piece of paper for him.

Now, I don't know what he's doing. Have you already slept peacefully, or are you still thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity to take some credit for your future promotion? Didn't he take the matter of the one-quality dress that day naughtyly laughing?

*********************************

At the same time, in the Hanliang Hall where Concubine Zhou Defei lived, two special guests came.

The lights are like beans, as if they are extinguished but not extinguished. Concubine Zhou Defei gathered her robe, asked the palace people to cut a wick, and looked at the two people who wrapped themselves tightly in black cloaks through the slowly brightening light. If it weren't for Queen Du already mentioning it to her, it is very likely that there will be such a thing recently, I am afraid that she would have regarded these two people as people with bad intentions and ordered the palace people to beat them out.

"The concubine greets Her Royal Highness Concubine De." After making sure that it was safe, the two took off their cloaks and saluted. If any of the concubines or maids in the palace saw them, they should be extremely surprised - since when did Pei Jieyu actually befriend Yuan Meiren?

Originally, Yuan Meiren and Xiao Yang's rivalry, Pei Jieyu, as a cousin, should be Xiao Yang's people, and the two are also enemies. After the big and small Yang family was demoted to a concubine, Pei Jieyu was wise to protect herself, and Yuan Meiren was attached to her aunt Yuan Shufei, and she never showed any intention of making friends. Even if one of them gave birth to the third princess and the other gave birth to the fifth princess, out of sympathy for raising their daughters, they got closer, and there should be rumors.

Concubine Zhou Defei looked at them lightly: "You guys are really amazing. Anyway, I came to see me quietly in the middle of the night, but what's the matter? But first, I'm too heavy to stay up at night, and if you don't say it, go back sooner. ”

Pei Jieyu and Yuan Meiren never expected that Concubine Zhou De, who had read poetry and books, would be so "straightforward". The two glanced at each other, and Yuan Meiren Fang said in a low voice: "The concubine wants to implore Her Royal Highness Concubine De to arrange a suitable time and take the concubine to meet Her Royal Highness the Empress." The concubine recently discovered something very important and wanted to report it to Her Royal Highness the Queen. It is a matter of the safety of the dragon heir, and the concubine does not dare to delay, for fear of causing a catastrophe. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Zhou Defei was not nervous, she just smiled slightly: "The right time?" Her Royal Highness did not prohibit the concubines from greeting each other in the morning and dusk, and you can go to Penglai Hall early tomorrow morning to meet you. ”

Yuan Meiren was stunned: "But ......" What if Queen Du mistakenly thought that she had a bad heart and didn't let her enter the palace?

"As long as you stand upright and have a clear heart, Her Royal Highness will naturally meet you. You just need to remember that in the Daming Palace, there is nothing that Her Royal Highness does not know, and that's enough. Concubine Zhou replied.

Yuan Meiren couldn't help but feel a pang, nervous and frightened in her heart, and more in awe. I heard her then say slowly: "Pei Jieyu can also take Wu Niang with her." Yue Niang and Wan Niang are not here in the past two days, and Her Royal Highness the Queen is lonely. If the sound of a child's laughter sounded in the Penglai Palace, she would be happy to think of it. ”

"The concubine understood." Pei Jieyu responded very knowingly.
