However, although sympathy is okay, Fang Ling had to pay attention to the seriousness of the matter.

There are too many hard-working people in the world, but not everyone has a hard backbone, and there are also people who are willing to fall, especially in the palace, and they enjoy fine clothes and food.

However, Fang Ling is more willing to believe in Song Ying'er, the two have been getting along day and night for three years, he knows very well that this beautiful woman has a firm heart, and she has a pair of discerning eyes and a pure and kind heart.

Therefore, since she believed that her sisters were all kind and wanted to escape from the cage, Fang Ling had no need to express her worries, but if someone wanted to hurt Song Ying'er with this, then she would definitely not be soft!

Everyone discussed in the house for a while, and then Fang Ling and Song Ying'er left the house and rode around the city slowly, which seemed to be idling, but in fact they were observing the deployment of troops in the city.

After walking around, the results are consistent with the situation investigated by Lu Bei and others, there are six major barracks in the city, among them, the two largest barracks are located on the left and right wings of the palace, belonging to the elite troops of the state soldiers, there are thousands of people.

The other four barracks are located near the four city gates, and there are thousands of people, in addition, there are hundreds of defenders at each city gate, more than half of them are under the city gates, and a small half are on the city walls.

At the same time, Fang Ling also verified the layout of the roads in the city, the roads in the royal city are basically similar to the imperial city, the pattern is like a chessboard, criss-crossed, such as the stars dotted with cloth, such a road for escape, it can be said that the pros and cons are mixed, the straight line of the advantage can improve the running speed of the horse, and the way of the disadvantage is blocked, so there is only the share of the hand.

What's more, now we are still thinking about the situation of rescuing people from the palace, and to rescue people from the palace is also more difficult than ascending to the sky, but we can make a breakthrough tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Fang Ling and Song Ying'er came to the Ming'an Temple on a hill outside the city.

This hill is not as big as Sanquan Mountain, but one inside and one outside the city, echoing each other, and there happens to be a praying tower on Sanquan Mountain, and there is a Ming'an Temple on the hill outside the city, which can be regarded as a contrast.

Ming'an Temple is a Taoist temple where incense is quite prosperous, located on the top of the hill, pave down a wide stone ladder along the way, stand at the foot of the mountain and look up, only feel that the Taoist temple seems to be surrounded by thousands of pine forests, and suddenly have a feeling of reverence.

The history of Taoism on the earth is quite long, Taoist priests alchemy and Taoism, in order to pray for immortality, the original immortals are mostly produced by the various Taoist sects, but with the immortal gate "inserted" into the world, the Zhenguo Heavenly Master was sent to the lower realm, so the power of the Wang clan began to rise, which eventually led to the weakening of the Taoist temple.

Today's Taoist temples, although they are still under the banner of seeking immortals and attaining the Tao, and they are all practicing pills that claim to be immortal, but most of them are already laymen, and there are very few people who have truly attained the Tao.

Of course, in the minds of ordinary people, Taoist temples with a history of hundreds of years like Ming'an Temple still have a bit of immortality, especially here is an old Taoist priest who is very good at divination and hexagrams, so it has also attracted a lot of believers.

Go up along the stone stairs, the Taoist temple sits on the top of the mountain between a large piece of jungle, the trees are luxuriant, there are ancient trees on both sides of the mountain road, the thick shade covers the ground, after walking through the tall archway, you can see the mountain gate made of white bricks, although the time to come is very early, but there are a lot of sedan chairs in front of the mountain gate, and several gorgeously dressed noble "women" walk into the view under the support of the next person.

There are many halls in the view, each hall is dedicated to different Taoist patriarchs, in the middle of the square surrounded by the hall, there is a bronze tripod several meters high, the tripod is "inserted" with a large incense candle several meters high, the smoke and dust that surround it rises leisurely, there is quite a bit of mysterious feeling.

Fang Ling saw that the time was still early, so he asked Song Ying'er to guard in the mountain gate, and he quickly walked to the Ming'an Temple, and had a general understanding of the terrain, and found that the whole Taoist Temple was divided into three parts, the square was near the palace community, mainly the place where believers burned incense and worshiped Buddha, and behind the palace group, there were two large private houses, one side was the place where the Taoist priests lived and lived, and on the other side was a row of small rooms, which could provide temporary accommodation for believers, and it was also a place for believers to retreat and eat.

Fang Ling found that the location of this small box for eating fast was very good, the front could lead to the mountain gate, and the back could lead to the mountain road, so he donated some sesame oil money and borrowed two small rooms.

At the same time, he didn't forget to observe the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, it seems that because they are all based on alchemy, so their cultivation is not very high, and after doing all this, he returned to the mountain gate.

The two stood in front of the mountain gate and waited, especially Song Ying'er stood there, attracting many onlookers from the young masters, and the men whispered, but due to the solemnity of the occasion, no one came up to talk.

When it was just over the morning, a sedan chair came in front of the mountain gate, which immediately attracted the attention of Fang Ling.

The four men carrying the sedan chair are sturdy, although they are wearing civilian clothes, but they all have a rigorous expression, they are not ordinary sedan chair men at first glance, and there are four guards with knives behind the sedan chair, and on the other side is a maid dressed as a palace maid, who is only 17 or 8 years old, and looks smart, with a pair of big eyes revealing a little cunning.

After the sedan chair fell, the palace maid opened the curtain and helped the woman inside to walk out, this woman was only 23 or 4 years old, wearing a goose yellow "color" palace dress, her hair was high and coiled into a palace bun, tied with a crested hairpin, on the goose egg-shaped face, the facial features were marked and exquisite, and there was an extraordinary extravagance.

As soon as she saw this woman, Song Ying'er was a little surprised, and whispered, "It's Sister Yan." ”

"Is it familiar?" Fang Ling asked, frowning slightly, this dress does not look like a female official in the palace, it is very likely that she is the concubine of the king of Yizhou! Although he had also thought about such a possibility, he thought that it might not be very 'sexual'.

Of course, the king of Yizhou will not go to Tsing Yi Fang to buy a dancing girl, as the monarch of the princely state, even if he is greedy for beauty, it is impossible to find a dancing girl from Cai to be a concubine, that is to say, it is likely that an official bought it back and dedicated it to the king of Yizhou, but he may not even know it, but the dancing girl still has the mission of transmitting information to Tsing Yifang.

Song Ying'er nodded at this time and said: "Sister Yan's name is Ning Yan, how many years older than me, she is very good, she is also very kind-hearted, she is very good to us when we are younger, she takes care of us as considerately as a mother, three years ago, she was suddenly taken away, I didn't expect to meet here." Speaking of this, she looked at Fang Ling seriously, "Your Highness, the concubine knows that you still have some doubts and doubts in your heart, and even suspicions, but I believe that the sisters want to escape from this cage in their dreams!"

Fang Ling was slightly stunned, and secretly said that Song Ying'er was really smart and could even figure out what he wanted, which made him a bit of a villain.

After Ning Yan got off the sedan chair, he said a few words to the guards beside him, and the guards stayed on the edge of the sedan chair, watching Ning Yan and the palace maid enter the mountain gate together.

Walking into the door, Ning Yan suddenly saw Song Ying'er standing on the side of the hall in front of him, and was taken aback, while Song Ying'er quickly walked towards the back of the hall.

Ning Yan immediately said to the palace maid: "I'll leave the matter with them to you, I'll go to the back to have some fasting." ”

The palace maid bowed slightly, looked to the left and right smartly, looked for a direction and left, Ning Yan hurriedly walked towards the back of the hall, and suddenly saw Song Ying'er just walked to the corner.

Song Ying'er pretended not to find Song Ying'er, and as soon as she turned around and disappeared, Ning Yan hurried up and came to the wing room area behind, and then saw Song Ying'er pushing open the door of one of the rooms and walking in.

Ning Yan looked left and right vigilantly, and hurried over at the same time, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Song Ying'er inside.

Although she hadn't seen her for three years, Ning Yan knew at a glance that the beautiful woman in front of her was Song Ying'er, her eyes were slightly red, and she said with joy: "Sister Ying'er, it turns out that it's really you!"

Song Ying'er was wearing a pomegranate-colored red dress, with a sweet smile on her pretty face, walked over and held Ning Yan's hand tightly, and said seriously: "Sister Yan, it's really me!"

Ning Yan even pinched his hand, almost suspecting that it was in a dream, and after feeling the pain, he was even more excited and said: "I didn't expect our sisters to meet in this place, it's so good, it's really good." ”

"I didn't expect to meet Sister Yan here. Song Ying'er has a smile on her face, her eyes are also a little red, most of the women in Tsing Yi Fang are sold or abandoned by their parents, everyone has grown up under strict education since childhood, when children of the same age are singing and laughing, they are practicing dance skills diligently, and they have suffered I don't know how much, the only thing that supports everyone to persist is the elimination of life and friendship.

It's just that when they reach adulthood, the sisters are sold as goods to distant places, and they will never see each other again.

Now that she has encountered it here, all kinds of bitterness in the past have surfaced in her heart, and Song Ying'er also feels that her nose is sour and her eyes are full of tears.

Ning Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sister, don't cry, it's a blessing that we can meet each other, do you remember what your sister told you, be strong at all times!"

Song Ying'er nodded, suppressing the sourness in her heart.

Ning Yan also calmed down at this time, and said with a smile: "I've been thinking about it in recent years, my sister shouldn't be in Tsing Yi Fang anymore, but I don't know where you will be, but I didn't expect you to be in Yizhou City." Speaking of this, she suddenly felt a little strange and said, "But, which big man's house are you in, why haven't I received any news?"
