Chapter 325: The Painter Looks for the Princess
Realizing that the ultimate goal of these people was to point to his father, Whirlpool gasped. She looked at Jingchen worriedly www.biquge.info hoping that he would have a good way to resolve the situation in front of her.
Obviously, Jingchen realized the seriousness of the situation earlier than her. He looked out the window with his eyebrows locked at this time, and after a while, he said, "Have you thought about it, why is it so quiet?" ”
Xuanbo listened carefully and said, "Yes." It is said that this is the time for the ceremony to be held on the sacrificial platform, and it should be the same as the music in front of it, but now it is so quiet, which is completely unreasonable. ”
Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "If the royal guards in front of you find that something is wrong with the people on the altar, how will the situation evolve?" ”
"The guards and palace people who accompanied me today have followed me for many years. If they find out that the person on the high platform is not me, they will rush to fight for me! Speaking of this, the swirl wave seemed to remember something, and his voice suddenly became a little panicked.
"If those gangsters find out that the matter is exposed, will they jump over the wall in a hurry, look for us even more frantically, and must put us to death?"
Jingchen listened to her words and was noncommittal, but said, "Since they want to send someone to pretend to be us, then we are already the number one target they want to eliminate." ”
"You and I have seen the disguise technique of the gangsters who came in this time, it is very realistic. Unless they say it themselves, they are rarely recognized. Even though the guards were suspicious of today's situation, these gangsters could have taken the fake princess and the fake Jingchen hostage and threatened them. ”
"The guards were not completely sure, and they were not sure that the two people on the altar were fake, so they did not dare to act rashly, and the two sides would enter a stalemate. That's probably why it's so quiet right now. ”
Hearing this, Xuanbo blurted out: "That's not right, let's rush out and tell the guards that the two of us are real, and the two on the high platform are disguised." Wouldn't the truth be revealed? ”
Jingchen shook his head and said, "At this time, there are many officials and their entourage who followed the princess into the temple to participate in the ceremony. When I heard the conversation of the gangsters just now, it was not a group of people who infiltrated the temple this time, but several teams. ”
"So, where there are more people, the more mixed they are, maybe those gangsters are in a hurry to find us, and deliberately resort to this trick to throw a flaw to the guards, just when we can't hold our breath and run out by ourselves, they can just catch us!"
"Princess, have you ever thought that if we die, then pretending to be us can naturally take our place in the world. It is also logical to approach people who they would not normally be able to approach at all, such as the emperor. ”
Xuan Bo said in his heart: "Yes, if I die, no one will suspect the fake princess." It is very convenient for her to enter and exit the palace, and her father's situation is dangerous. My father had just returned from the battlefield of swords and swords, safe and sound, who would have thought that he would be in danger when he returned to his imperial city? I must not let that happen. ”
Thinking of this, Xuan Bo said, "Master, what do you say?" ”
Jingchen pondered for a moment: "The top priority now is ......" Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he made a gesture to Xuanbo not to speak, and Xuanbo immediately stopped and held his breath.
At this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from a distance, as if someone was trotting all the way over. The man kept his voice down as he trotted, and kept whispering, "Princess, princess, where are you?" Come out, come out! ”
Jingchen heard this movement outside the window, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He glanced at the swirling waves, which meant - you stay here and don't move. Xuan Bo understood and nodded quickly.
There was wind under the feet of the clean dust, and he jumped out of the house in a few clicks, and he didn't make a sound at all.
After half a cup of tea, Jingchen returned quietly. He went out alone, and when he came back, he had a man under his armpit.
This person is not tall, in his thirties, wearing a dove-gray Confucian robe, wearing a square scarf on his head, and dressed as a scholar.
Jingchen returned to the house and put him on the ground. This person seemed to be dumbfounded, and when he saw the swirling waves, he danced with his hands, but he couldn't make a sound.
As soon as Xuanbo saw this person, he immediately said to Jingchen: "Master, please unlock the hole for him, I know this person, he is the painter in my house, named Lu Bang." ”
Although Jingchen was not happy when he heard this, he still unraveled this person's dumb hole. After unraveling it, Jingchen was not at ease, so he first tore his face and found that he did not change his appearance.
Because he had been deceived by a middle-aged monk before, Jingchen's inspection this time was more strict, and he went directly to pinch the major joints on Lu Bang's body. Because people who practice martial arts may be able to disguise their breathing through pranayama, but there is no way to disguise their joints.
People who practice martial arts have internal forces running in their bodies for many years, and their joints are different from ordinary people, and experienced people can tell them by pinching them.
Jingchen seriously pinched Lu Bang's joints one by one, the pain made Lu Bang grin, Xuanbo couldn't watch it from the side, and whispered to Jingchen: "Master doesn't need to pinch him, he is real." ”
The expression on Jingchen's face was not relaxed at all, and he just asked rhetorically, "Why is the princess so sure?" ”
Whirlpool lowered his voice and said, "Because he's a eunuch." ”
Jingchen listened, thought for a while, and let go of Lu Bang.
Lu Bang straightened his clothes and said to Jingchen with some annoyance: "It's true that I'm a eunuch, but that's just from the past. After years of hard study, I am now a six-grade painter in the princess's mansion, and I am also a famous and upright official! ”
Jingchen stood in front of the window, staring out alertly, ignoring him.
At this time, Xuanbo came over and said, "Why are you looking for me everywhere?" ”
Lu Bang looked at Xuanbo and said with emotion: "Princess, I have found you, it's good now, the iron on the sacrificial platform is definitely fake." ”
"An hour ago, a woman who looked exactly like you came to the altar. When your personal palace maid Yingluo stepped forward to arrange her clothes, she found that she had a silk sachet embroidered with a double fish pattern around her waist, and she felt strange for a while. ”
"Because the sachets you usually use are either fat jade, jade, or gold silk, when have you ever used this kind of cheap goods? Yingluo told the captain of the guard about her suspicions. ”
"As soon as the captain of the guard heard that the matter was very important, he didn't dare to slack off, and he stepped forward to take down the fake princess and ask, but at this moment, dozens of big men jumped over from nowhere and held the fake princess on the stage hostage."
"The captain of the guard was not sure that the one on the stage must be a fake princess, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to confront the gangsters."
"I was already standing in the back, and I was small, so I slipped out of the room without anyone noticing. I think if the people on the stage are fake, princess, you may be trapped by those villains now, so I went down the path to the backyard to find you, but I didn't expect to really find you! ”
