102 Prime Minister's House
Alu and Zhang Huaijin rushed all the way, and only saw the gate of the capital in the evening three days later, and walked through so many cities along the way, and sure enough, the capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the city gate looked the most magnificent.
Zhang Huaijin looked up and down here, although Pearl City is also a wealthy city, but compared with this capital, it is really a big deal. Even a city gate was shining red, and he couldn't tell what it looked like inside, Zhang Huaijin wanted to look at it for a while, but the person guarding the gate shouted there: "It's going to be closed, you have to enter the city quickly." ”
When this sound came out, the people who were originally slow all sped up, of course, Zhang Huaijin also trotted all the way, and when the city gate creaked to pay attention, he was able to squeeze into the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city are tall and tall, and Zhang Huaijin is also tall, but in front of this person, there is a head short, that person is not only tall but also full of horizontal meat, and the flesh on his face trembles as soon as he speaks: "Next time, I will close the door, thinking that this city gate is your home, when do you want to enter when you want to enter, next time do you want to know quickly?" ”
"I know, I know, this is the first time I've entered the city, and my adults will tolerate it, and there will be no next time." Zhang Huai is cautious and low, and his attitude of admitting mistakes is very good.
"Let's go, let's go, I'm upset when I see your master." When that person saw Zhang Huai's sloppy appearance, he didn't have any money at first glance, and this kind of person was the most eyesore.
Zhang Huaijin was driven away by the gatekeeper like a bedbug, which was completely different from the attitude of leaving Pearl City, he still remembered the old soldier guarding the door in Pearl City, and his eyes lit up.
"Although this capital is prosperous, but this person has no eyesight at all, and he is not as good as the quality in Pearl City, don't you say?" Zhang Huai asked Alu, it was really dark this day, and it was the middle of September, it was completely an autumn scene, and it looked very bleak.
Zhang Huai asked Alu what he said, but Alu didn't continue, because as soon as she arrived in the capital, the sour feeling in her heart became even stronger, and her eyes were sour for some reason.
Because Zhang Huaijin didn't have a penny on him, he didn't have any money to let him stay, so on the way, they agreed that as soon as they arrived in the capital, they would enter the prime minister's mansion and get the gold that was hidden by Prime Minister Lu. Of course, there was not only one hundred taels of gold in it, but according to Alu, the gold piled up together was as high as a hill.
At that time, Zhang Huaijin thought in his heart, this Prime Minister Lu Cheng was really not a good person before, and how much gold he put at home was how much people's fat and people's ointment, and he went to take the gold out to rob the rich and help the poor. Of course, it was the rich Ji Zhang Huai who robbed Prime Minister Lu that he was poor.
Because it was still early, of course it would take midnight to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Zhang Huaijin was just strolling in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion now, exploring the road first, and then speaking, if it was too difficult, then it could only be discussed in the long run. Alu is a female ghost that no one can see, Zhang Huaijin is not, he is a swordsman with little martial arts, so he still has to be careful.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is in the east of the city, the pattern of the capital is very regular, most of the east of the city are the mansions of high-ranking officials, what Shangshu Mansion, the General's Mansion, of course, the only prince's mansion in the Xia Kingdom, King Anle's mansion is also in the east of the city, and it is still the largest house in the east of the city.
Because the east of the city is the residence of officials above the third grade, the guards on this patrol are very strict, and Zhang Huaijin is avoiding one guard after another in order to get close to the Prime Minister's Mansion along the way.
When I arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, I realized that the luxury of the Prime Minister's Mansion would only be one level lower than that of the Prince's Mansion, and it was the second largest and most gorgeous in the east of the city. "Alu, have you lived here since you were a child?" Zhang Huai asked Ah Lu beside him, of course Ah Lu also saw the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the appearance of this gate has not changed at all.
In the mansions of these officials of the Xia Kingdom, they are all rewarded by the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, for example, if you become the prime minister, the prime minister's mansion is where you live, and when you resign, you can only take away the private things of the prime minister's mansion. Not a single brick or tile in the Prime Minister's Mansion is allowed to be taken away, so there is no difference between the east of the Xia Kingdom in the past dynasties, just because this is the royal property, and it is not cost-effective to spend money, so why spend money.
I'm afraid that only the scheming Prime Minister Lu will hide the silver in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as for what, no one knows, Zhang Huaijin once asked Alu, and Alu just shook his head.
It was not dark yet, and the guards at the door were so strict, Zhang Huai mourned silently for himself, how could he get in, he just wanted to ask Alu, but he didn't know when Alu who was floating behind him disappeared.
"Aru, Aru...... Where have you been? Zhang Huaijin suppressed his throat, and shouted twice in a very low voice, because he didn't dare to shout loudly, and he didn't dare to go out to find it. Where the hell did this Aru go? No matter how he said that he would leave, and he didn't say hello to him, Zhang Huai smoked cautiously and was anxious, but he still couldn't find where Alu went.
"Are you looking for me?" As soon as Zhang Huaijin turned the corner, he heard a cold female voice behind him, Zhang Huaijin turned his face, and Alu's bloodless face was imprinted in his eyes.
Zhang Huaijin said "ah", immediately jumped a step away, patted his chest, what is this Alu doing so close to him, I don't know if it is a very scary thing to see a ghost in this big night, although he was opposite to Alu Chaoxi at first, but he can't turn his head and see a female ghost with such a shape without being afraid.
"Where have you been? How to dress up like this. "Alu is usually a normal grace, and there is no difference between him and other girls' families, but his face is a little whiter, and his mouth is a little redder. But the current Alu is terrifying.
His eyes bulged out, his lips turned out, and his long tongue hung out, and the red dress on his body was somehow tattered, and there was red liquid slowly running down Aru's arm. Aru's footsteps slowly converged into a puddle of water, red liquid - blood!
"Where are you injured, why do you have so much blood on your forehead?" At first, Zhang Huaijin was frightened by Alu's appearance, but now he was frightened by the blood on Alu's body, how could Alu be injured and shed so much blood?
"Nothing, I heard the call and I came out." Ah Lu thought about why Zhang Huaijin was so scared just now, it turned out that she forgot to change back, she looked like she was going to scare the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, of course, she scared down a group of timid people, and the bold ones were not frightened, and they were still chasing Ah Lu.
Of course, the blood on Alu's body was not beaten out by them, but Alu got it himself in order to be realistic, and sure enough, this terrifying forehead scared the group of bold and cowardly.
"You say, you just went to scare them?" After Zhang Huaijin saw that Alu had changed back, he had settled down and was able to talk to Alu well, and Alu's "transformation" was very successful, which made Zhang Huaijin admire it very much.
"Okay, now that the people at the door have fainted, you can just follow me." Zhang Huai listened to Alu's words, and nodded uncertainly, can this work? There is a big question mark in his heart, the person who saw those guards just now is a tall man, and he can be stunned by Alu so frightened, how can he not believe it.
When Zhang Huaijin came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he really didn't believe it, and the people lying on the ground were really those guards who had just flaunted their might and were vicious. Zhang Huaijin wasn't sure if these people really fainted or fake, he jumped on his feet several times, and saw that the people under his feet were soft and had no ability to resist at all, so he believed that he was really scared and fainted.
"Alu is so capable." Zhang Huaijin praised it, and Alu ignored him, of course, what she said to Zhang Huaijin just now was half true and half false, it was possible to scare the cowards, but it was not easy to scare those bold, and in the end, Alu still used his mana to get these people directly. It even gave them a forgetfulness drug, and they couldn't think of it at all when they got up tomorrow morning, and this kind of good thing was really Lang Fei for them.
Alu followed Zhang Huaijin into the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the person who fell to the ground at the door, what he did tonight was really a loss-making business, I hope to find what she wants to use, otherwise she will lose a lot of money.
A gate outside the Prime Minister's Mansion is so luxurious, not to mention inside, Zhang Huaijin, who has never seen these things, was dizzy all of a sudden, fortunately there is Alu to lead the way, otherwise he would really be dizzy and can't get out.
There are a total of seven entrances to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the outermost one is the gatehouse, the second is the doorman of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the third is the outer study, and the fourth is the inner study. The fifth to the seventh is the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before Alu lived in the sixth into the Linshui Xuan, where there is a large lake, warm in winter and cool in summer, the most comfortable. Lu Xiangye loves his daughter, so the best place in this Xiangfu is also given to Ah Lu to live, and Ah Lu knows Lu Xiangye's love for her when he thinks about it now.
Alu kept floating inside, and at first Zhang Huaijin could still keep up with her footsteps, but when she didn't pay attention to the back, Alu disappeared in front of Zhang Huaijin's eyes in a blink of an eye. Zhang Huaijin looked around, except for a pavilion, it was all flowers and plants, such a big prime minister's mansion, I couldn't imagine that there was such a desolate place.
Besides, this Prime Minister's Mansion is also heavily guarded outside, how can there be no one inside, in fact, what Zhang Huaijin doesn't know is that he has only arrived at the second place of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is where the guests live, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is not a place to raise idlers, and the place where the second entry is naturally unguarded.
And Alu was like this, and she reached the sixth entrance, which was the house where she lived before, adjacent to Shui Xuan.
