Chapter 249: The Secret Passage Connecting Path

I leaned there motionless, but I clutched a ball of paper tightly in my palm.

Just now, while there was chaos, everyone's eyes were on that horse!

watched it rush over, watched it fall to the ground, but no one noticed that the moment Mama Xu went down, a figure rushed in from outside the car!

It was urgent, and I picked it up without even thinking about it.

Although it was pinched in the palm of his hand, he didn't dare to look at it in the car.

Wait until you get to the temple, and then wait for the opportunity to open it.

The carriage was moving much slower than before, and it drove steadily on the road to Makuyama.

The palms of my hands were sweaty, and I didn't dare to let go of the paper ball.

Until Mama Xu, who was sitting on the side, looked at me.

I quietly found a time to cover up, pretending to tidy up my dress and tuck it into my sleeves.

Mushan Temple is located in the hundred and one peaks more than ten miles away from Yingtian City, since Huiming Zen Master opened the mountain, it has a history of several hundred years, and it is a famous ancient temple in Yingtian.

Its popularity is even known to me, a person from Daye, a neighboring country, which can be seen.

The pine wind and bamboo are contrasting, the green mountains become a picture screen, the carriage can only stop halfway up the mountain, and the rest of the road has to go up by itself.

I walked up the stone steps all the way up and walked for a while to reach the destination of this trip.

In the temple, there are not many pilgrims today, and after our group enters the incense, we go to the meditation room in the backyard to rest for a while.

In my free time, when no one noticed, I took the piece of paper out of my sleeve.

But when I saw the lines on the crumpled paper that I had crumpled, my face changed suddenly.

Suppressing the panic in my heart, I tried to calm my mood so that outsiders could not see the clues.

The tea that is waiting for guests in the temple is brewed after being boiled with the spring water of the back mountain, and when you take a sip, it is extraordinarily sweet and clear, and the aftertaste is long.

I slowly took one sip after another, and drank the whole cup of tea, and the fragrance of the tea was clean. Somewhat washed away the irritability in my heart, and became quiet and peaceful.

The scenery is the most beautiful in the back mountain of the temple, and you can look at the lush greenery of the distant mountains, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is wide.

As I stood there, I remembered that Xiao Chu had looked forward to the future with me, and he said that he had been to the south, and the scenery was pleasant, and it was best to have the opportunity to choose a quiet and quiet town to live in for a while.

If interested. You can also make a pot of tea and go fishing on the riverbank. Two men stood there. Quietly wait for the rod to move slightly, and you can have a happy harvest.

A faint smile flashed across Xiao Chu's lips, and the life he said filled me with yearning. At this moment, in front of such a beautiful scene, I recalled that scene and missed him very much.

But when I thought of the Imperial City and the complicated entanglements in Yingtian City, most of them came from the background behind Xiao Chu, I smiled bitterly, the good life he said may not have a chance to be realized in this life.

It's still an unknown, but my instincts tell me. It's not easy to break free from this qiē and navigate life as you like, yes, it's not easy!

The note passed to me was only a few lines, and I remembered it after reading it. While wandering around the back mountain, I turned my back and tore the note into shreds and disposed of it quietly.

No one knew that the scene at the city gate was actually deliberately done by someone, except for me, one of the parties involved, and Xiao Chu, who was far away.

With the meticulousness of his thoughts, the two of us had a private agreement long before we set out for a neighboring country that night.

At that time, Xiao Chu said solemnly: "Everything is arranged, but I am still worried that it will be a hundred secrets, so I must leave a safe insurance trick, but this trick is also risky, and it is not necessary to use it as a last resort." ”

"If you are trapped in a house, chances are that the last thing I want to see will happen." He said with a gloomy expression.

"After all, it is impossible for the manpower arranged in the house to be foolproof in a short period of time, and if there are spies sent by others in the middle, it is likely that the news will be leaked to the outside."

"In that case, you must find a chance to go out."

Hearing this, I didn't immediately agree or object, but thought for a moment and said, "What you instructed, try not to go out, what kind of excuse do you have to find to be reasonable?" “

Xiao Chu lowered his head and stroked my long hair, and whispered in my ear: "You often go to Qinglian Nunnery in Daye, and it is the most natural and familiar to use that rhetoric. ”

He thought about it for a while, and said calmly: "As long as you find a chance to go out, the dark line I laid will definitely be able to find a gap to contact you and send my news." ”

It sounded confident, and it seemed like I was closer to the truth than staying in the house, at least now that I think about it.

Xiao Chu slowed down his tone and said: "Xiao Ling'er, when the time comes, you must remember to react quickly, I am here to give you instructions, and the greatest hope is that I still hope that you don't need to use the tricks I prepared." "But you still have to remember that it's better to be prepared than to be at a loss." Xiao Chu added an emphasis.

Before leaving, I brought a jar of tea from the temple, handed it to Mama Xu, went down the stone steps, and boarded the carriage back to the city.

The way down the mountain was obviously faster than when going up the mountain, and when I arrived at the gate of Yingtian City, the sky had not yet darkened.

I looked at the guards patrolling the city gates, and noticed that there were many more guards patrolling than when I left the city in the morning.

When I lifted the curtain to look, Mama Xu also noticed.

"It's strange," I whispered, "is it because there are not enough people to scrutinize the passers-by, could it be that there is something going on in the city?" ”

Mama Xu looked at me deeply, I judged from her expression that she knew some inside story, but she didn't want to tell me, my mind changed, I didn't want to stop the topic and ask in depth.

The checks at the city gate were smooth, and we quickly entered the city.

As usual, when I arrived at the house, I calculated that it was still a little short of dinner, so I took out my freshly embroidered handkerchief and began to work.

The piece embroidered before was pierced by my hand and stained with blood, and I knew that it was okay to wash it off, but I felt that it was awkward and I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart after all, so it would be better to do it all over again.

I sped up the speed of the flying needle line, the pattern was a little different from the previous plan, I only embroidered a cluster of orchids on the corner of the handkerchief, so that the speed could be even faster.

By the time I came to the kitchen to deliver dinner, my veil was almost finished.

I was relieved to make up for it. He took it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, and quietly put the handkerchief into his arms.

This meal, the kitchen took a lot of effort, as if to adjust the oppressive atmosphere in the house, the types of dishes served were more than usual, and the snacks were even more exquisite, I didn't want to waste their kindness, so I deliberately ate a little more, and then let the maid take it away.

I closed the door and listened to the movement outside.

A qiē as usual. It's like the scene that happened yesterday. The guards were urgently evacuated. Mama Xu didn't return all night, coupled with the torrential rain in the second half of the night, all kinds of signs were taken away like flowing water without leaving a trace, but I knew it in my heart. There are changes, there are differences.

When I was holding the lamp, Mama Xu came to my house and took some tea, I yawned sleepily and said: "Mama, I rushed to Mushan Temple today, I was a little tired from running back and forth, and the scenery on the mountain is still worth visiting." ”

"Then go to bed early, early tomorrow morning. I'll comb your hair again. ”

She was silent for a moment, turned around to leave, and before leaving, she turned her head to me and whispered a word of comfort, "Miss Ye, you don't have to worry. It's nothing serious, you can live in the yard with peace of mind. ”

I first felt strange for a while, when she said such a thing to me, and then I thought of the note I received today, and my expression moved, and I called her to stop.

I smiled calmly: "Mama is a person arranged by Gongzi, I naturally listen to you, you say it's okay, and I feel at ease." ”

"At most, in five or six days, Xiao Gongzi will come back, and the time will be very fast."

Hearing me say that it will be five or six days at most, Mama Xu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then echoed: "Yes, you are right, Miss Ye, rest early." ”

After sending Mama Xu away, I blew out the lights and lay there in my kimono.

In the moonlight, I lay motionless on my bed, contemplating the conventions of the house.

Because I was jealous of the maid's group of people getting too close, the maids who were transferred in the house did not have the habit of being on duty outside my house after night at my insistence in the past few days.

Including the group of guards, they were also guarding outside the courtyard.

Although Xiao Chu explained it carefully to me, I still thought about every link to make sure that there would be no flaws

Enduring the foul smell, I finally reached the end of the one-man high tunnel, I extinguished the torch in my hand, and tried to come out of the tunnel.

I really don't want to come back to that section of the road a second time, and I don't know who else has walked before, could it be Xiao Chu himself?

Raising my hand to lift up the pile of pine grass hidden at the entrance of the hole, I first looked out with half of my head exposed, then pushed away the pile of hidden burdens, and the cat came out.

Taking a deep breath, I looked around to see what the other side of the tunnel was like.

I realized that I was now in a garden that looked like someone's house, but it was dark and empty.

I came out of the tunnel, covered in dust, and still had the foul smell of the tunnel in my mouth and nose, and I stood next to the exit of the tunnel, patting it lightly with my hand.

A few feet away from the garden, I was startled when I saw the light suddenly lit up in the dark courtyard, and in a hurry, I ran a few steps and hid behind the nearby rockery.

I pressed my body against the rocks and held my breath.

A figure opened the door and walked out, footsteps getting closer and closer to where I was hiding.

My heart was beating like a drum, and I was about to lose my breath.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and pulled me out of the shadows.

I blushed and gasped for a few breaths.

"It's you!"
