It was night, the wind was cold, and the stars at two or three o'clock were faintly falling in the sky, and a thin moon was like a hook. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In a room in the Shenji Camp, there were few people sleeping, and a bean lamp jumped on the narrow window, and the dim lamps and candles flickered, reflecting a wisp of ethereal figures.

Duan Chengcheng stood at the small window, looking at the sky outside the window alone and contemplating. The head of the guard, Qi Yu, did not summon her to protect the emperor again. After an afternoon of rest, she finally got rid of her physical fatigue, but the big stone in her heart could not be removed for a moment.

Seeing that it has been four days since she entered the palace, but because of the emperor's reasons, she has never done anything to check the whereabouts of the relics, Jiang Xiaolou has disappeared in the past few days, deep in the palace, with the name of her little guard, she did not dare to find out the whereabouts of other palace maids, this check, left clues to herself.

can't wait any longer, she must take advantage of tonight to find the person Jiang Xiaolou, otherwise she alone is still restrained, and it is impossible to get the relics.

She turned around and grabbed the knife on the table, ready to open the door.

But as soon as the person walked to the door, there was a faint movement from the roof, and her expression changed, and she did not know who it was, so she had to stop in place and listen to the changes.

A cold wind blew, and the snow on the eaves fell with imperceptible steps.

The person in the wind seemed to have changed direction again, jumping down from behind without stopping on the roof, and the slight vibration of the corner of his clothes when he passed by the wind fell into Duan Chengcheng's ears without any mistakes.

There are not many people in this world who can have such attainments in light skills, could it be Jiang Xiaolou?

She hurriedly turned around, but saw a man sitting on the window, seemingly carrying something in his hand, smiling awkwardly.

"Jiang Xiaolou, you almost scared me to death!" Duan Qingcheng looked at him in shock, she almost thought that something had suddenly changed.

"I said Allure, I didn't expect to see you mix well for a few days, and even the little emperor's personal bodyguard?" Jiang Xiaolou looked Duan Chengcheng up and down, with a tone of saying something but waiting to see a joke.

It wasn't easy to find her, her legs were about to break, and he almost didn't turn the whole palace over.

"Can you say anything other than cool talk? It's not like I volunteered to be someone else's guard......" She snorted coldly, casually put the saber on the table, and glared at Jiang Xiaolou coldly for a while. This kid doesn't have a good word for her every time he sees her, and he is a thug in the market.

"You should be content, you must know that compared with your treatment, I am much more miserable, I was relegated to the Huanyi Bureau and washed other people's clothes for several days, and my hands were almost wasted......" He complained to her very aggrieved, as if he had endured all the hardships of this life.

"Degraded to the Clothes Bureau?" Duan Chengcheng suddenly couldn't help laughing, "That's really wronged you......"

Jiang Xiaolou glared at her with white eyes, "You're still embarrassed to laugh, it's all your and that Jin Seyu's bad idea!" ”

Duan Qingcheng shook his head, took two cups on the table, poured the tea, and handed a cup to Jiang Xiaolou.

She said: "This is not necessarily a bad idea, if you enter the palace as a man, you will not know if you are accidentally taken by the little emperor." ”

"Yoh?" Jiang Xiaolou took the teacup, and when he heard Duan Chengcheng's words, his face suddenly froze, "So, the little emperor is interested in you?" ”

"Not yet." She shook her head in denial.

"It's good if you don't have it." Jiang Xiaolou exhaled a long breath of relief, "If he dares to move a finger of you, I have to kill him......"

"He likes men, I'm actually a woman, and he can't do anything to me even if he wants to." She unconsciously tugged at the corners of her lips, and even there was a trace of warmth between her perennially indifferent eyebrows.

"It's okay, we're not afraid, anyway, I won't go back to that damn Huanyi Bureau, in the future, you will be in the light and in the dark, and I will protect you." Jiang Xiaolou said to her lightly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Just be careful." She said.

Hearing Jiang Xiaolou's wild words, she felt inexplicably warm in her heart, although he just said an unintentional word, he didn't really kill anyone.

But in terms of heart, there are not many people in this world who dare to make friends with her, and he Jiang Xiaolou is the first, and his unintentional words prove that their friendship for so many years has not been put to waste.

"By the way, I just passed by the imperial dining room and picked up some good things." As he spoke, he brought the things he had just brought to the table, and spread them all out to her.

"What?" Duan Chengcheng looked at the jar of wine and a pile of meat on the table, and couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't forget to take the sheep with him after all this?

"I've been looking for you for a day today, and I'm almost turning the palace around, and I happened to be hungry when I passed by the imperial dining room at night, so I grabbed two handfuls." He said.

"It's really hard to change." She looked at Jiang Xiaolou very helplessly, she really couldn't starve him anywhere.

"Hurry up and eat, shall we?" Jiang Xiaolou picked up a chicken leg and said while nibbling: "When we are full, let's go for a walk twice at night." ”

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"Huaqing Palace." He said vaguely.

Duan Chengcheng was slightly shocked, "The emperor's bedroom? ”

"Do you think I've washed my clothes for a few days? I finally got the words from the mouths of the old palace ladies who used to give clothes in the palace, saying that the emperor's bedroom seems to have a secret compartment, and it is said that someone has seen it, but no one knows the specifics. He explained while eating meat and drinking.

Duan Qingcheng squinted slightly, and she said, "I know the Huaqing Palace very well, it is heavily guarded, and there are masters in the dark. ”

"I checked this before I came, and the little emperor went elsewhere tonight to turn over the cards." Jiang Xiaolou said with a smile: "Half of the masters have moved with the pace of the little emperor, as for the other half...... We can only act on the opportunity. ”

"Okay, just do as you say." She nodded, very much agreeing with Jiang Xiaolou's statement, and now she had to go to explore the truth first.

At night to the third watch, the huge imperial city seemed to fall into a dead silence, and the groups of eunuchs and palace maids on the night patrol deliberately slowed their steps, carrying lamps and patrolling all over the palace unhurriedly, not daring to have the slightest slackness.

Duan Qingcheng and Jiang Xiaolou took advantage of the cover of night to cross several palaces one after another, and it was easy for the two of them to avoid ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, and it didn't take half an hour for the two of them to come to the vicinity of Huaqing Palace.

But the rest of the road is not so easy for them.

Duan Qingcheng lay in the shadows, carefully observing the secret guards who were ambushing around the Huaqing Palace, and there were at least seven or eight people left. It is true that there are a few fewer guards in the secret, but this does not mean that he is sure to enter the Huaqing Hall without being discovered.

Duan Qingcheng only knew that these secret guards had never shown up, and the only one she had ever seen was the man named Qi Yu.

But tonight, since the emperor was not in the palace, this group of people could have temporarily withdrawn or followed the emperor, but they still quietly guarded an empty hall in the same place, which was really strange.

It seems that there is really some secret hidden in this Huaqing Palace...... (To be continued.) )
