Chapter Ninety-Five: Tan Linghui
This time the pain was very great, and the old manager let out a miserable cry from his mouth, and sat on the ground for a long time without relieving his strength, let alone getting up and continuing to lead the way.
This accident was too sudden, Wen Sheng let out a low exclamation, Zhong Tianzheng had already rushed over, squatted beside the old manager, and asked with concern: "What's the matter, is the injury serious?" ”
The boss was sweating in pain and couldn't speak.
Zhong Tianzheng reached out and touched his injured ankle, and the old manager gasped.
Zhong Tianzheng was worried: "I'm afraid that my bones are cracked." At your age, you need to find a doctor quickly, so as not to delay walking in the future. After saying that, he stood up and looked around, and saw a few guards on duty not far away, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned and shouted, "Everyone, come over and help the handle." ”
The boss also felt that he was hurt a lot.
Originally, it was because he was old and would not please the second prince, so he was sent from the inner courtyard to the door as the chief manager, if he was crippled again, this Zhuangzi would definitely not be able to stay in the future, and I don't know where he would fall.
The old manager was frightened into a cold sweat, and when he saw that Zhong Tianzheng helped him call someone over, he was in the middle of it, and hurriedly instructed a few guards to carefully help him up, and find a stretcher to carry him to see the doctor.
As for the work of leading the way for the young master of the Qin family, he could only say sorry.
Zhong Tianzheng was very reasonable, waved his hand, and said obediently: "You guys are busy, you must take care of the old man." There are only a few steps left, so my sister and I will find it by ourselves. ”
I saw a few guards looking for a stretcher. Shouting people, around the old manager was busy circling around, Zhong Tianzheng glanced at Wen Sheng. Motioned for her to hurry up with her.
When he got out of the corridor and passed by the rockery, he flashed to the side, hid in the gap between the rocks, and stretched out his hand to pull Wen Sheng in.
He leaned next to Wen Sheng's ear and whispered, "Isn't this just a good way in." ”
The exhaled heat hit Wen Sheng's sensitive earlobe, causing her to duck sideways.
Listening to Zhong Tianzheng, he chuckled. Resentment: "...... you"
Wen Sheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, and diverted the topic to break the ambiguity: "Where will the second prince lock people up?" ”
"It's hard to say. This Zhuangzi is very big, come, I'll take you around first. Zhong Tianzheng also began to get down to business.
"Beware of being discovered, I just kept an eye on it. There are many guards in this villa, both openly and secretly. ”
"Don't worry, I've got it."
Zhong Tianzheng held Wen Sheng's hand and refused to let go, pulled her, walked out of the rockery with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked around a few flowers and trees with his waist bent over, and drilled into another inconspicuous cave.
He was indeed very familiar with the lodge.
The dark rockery cave, the narrow space, the two groped their way forward in it, and often had to squeeze and touch each other. Wen Sheng was shocked to realize that although Zhong Tianzheng looked slender and thin on the outside, his body was actually very flexible and powerful.
It's as if he had plotted against the steward who led the way just now, and the person who was plotted was still at a loss. I don't understand why I want to make God almost step on the air.
This young man, who is as beautiful as Hanlan on the outside, is actually a hidden martial arts expert.
His hands were dry and warm, his fingers slender and powerful, and at first glance he looked like a hand that was accustomed to holding a pen and playing the piano, and like him, it was very deceptive.
Wen Sheng was silent all the way. And Zhong Tianzheng stopped talking, and after a while. They came out of the other side of the cave, more than ten feet away from the bright cloister.
No one found a man and a woman who had just arrived at the feast still stranded in the garden.
Surrounded by a few plum trees, full of yellow buds, a few steps ahead, the moonlight shines through the slightly swaying flower shadows, illuminating the two rear windows.
The windows were pitch black and there were no lights inside.
Zhong Tianzheng sighed softly and said abruptly: "It's completely different from what my mother said." ”
Wen Sheng didn't have time to accompany him to hurt the spring and autumn, and urged: "Hurry up." ”
If you can get in, you have to find a way to get out. Once the second prince's banquet is over and he knows what happened in the front yard, he is afraid that he will suddenly become suspicious and immediately search for him all over the garden.
Zhong Tianzheng responded, leaving Wensheng waiting in place, he quietly touched it, and when he came back after a while, he shook his head at Wensheng: "It seems to be a small flower hall that usually sees guests, and there is no one in it at this time." ”
The two searched in the dark in the front yard.
Xu is because the back garden is feasting, and he has found more than a dozen rooms one after another, but they are either empty, or only the guards and subordinates are left.
Zhong Tianzheng discussed with Wen Sheng: "He has arrested so many musicians, he has to be imprisoned, he has to be guarded, it is impossible to have no clues outside, I think it is very likely that he is not locked up in this vicinity." We'll have to go to the backyard to have a look. ”
The two touched under the wall, found a secluded corner, Zhong Tianzheng asked Wen Sheng to wait here first, he took a few steps back, flew up, and a black shadow in the darkness quietly rose into the sky, lighter than a bird and a paper kite, like a puff of smoke, floating over the wall.
Wen Sheng sighed in his heart, with such skill, no wonder he said that he wanted to arrest the Xu brothers, and he arrested Xu Lao Er and came back on the same day.
After stopping for about a cup of tea, Zhong Tianzheng came out and said to Wen Sheng that although he didn't find a place to lock people, he found an inconspicuous small door, locked, unguarded, and he screwed the lock off, just enough to bring Wen Sheng into the back garden.
The side door found by Zhong Tianzheng was the same color as the wall, and he couldn't notice the abnormality at all from a distance, and it could be seen that this door was not used often, after Wen Sheng came in, Zhong Tianzheng put the broken lock on the false button, and no one would find out in ten days and a half if nothing else.
The back garden is very large, and the flower hall of the second prince's banquet is not small, which is equivalent to the entire back garden in the ordinary eunuch's house, but here, it only accounts for a small part of the center.
The flower hall sits north to south, and the east side is a separate courtyard, and the eaves can be seen to rise and fall under the light of the lights, which seems to be the place where the female dependents live.
To the west, there is a solitary peak dozens of zhang high.
When building this villa, the craftsmen leveled the surrounding mountains, leaving only one of the most beautiful peaks, and attracted the river to build a lake around it, which became a scene in the back garden.
If you really want to look for it everywhere, let alone just one or two hours, even if it takes a day or two, you may not be able to search it all.
Zhong Tianzheng groaned: "It seems that I have to arrest someone in the villa first and ask them." ”
The two of them carefully avoided the light and approached the flower hall.
Wen Sheng listened to the sound of the guqin coming from inside, at this distance, the sound of the qin was already very clear, and the seven strings were agitated, which was moving.
Just listening to this, Wen Sheng seemed to have a pair of hands stroking the qin with phantoms in front of his eyes.
If she were to witness it again now, she would be able to distinguish the intricate fingerings, such as the tail swing of the fish with the three fingers splashing in the right hand, the ringing of the rope bell in the name, and the three-fingered chirping of the branch in the left hand, all of which bloomed like fireworks on the seventh string.
But most of these fingerings she knew from guqin books, and asked her to play them with her own hands, but she couldn't do it.
The person playing the piano on the seat should be a musician from Xuanyin Pavilion, the level is similar to Fei Wenyou, Fei Wenyou's nickname "Cold Spring in the Valley", this should be similar.
Sure enough, after playing the song, the guests in the flower hall applauded, and when the applause stopped, one person said loudly: "Mei Zong is ugly." ”
It turned out to be Fei Wenyou's junior brother "Folding Bamboo Hand" Mei Zong, who also learned the third of the eight methods of Miaoyin.
Zhong Tianzheng looked left and right, looking for an opportunity to start, and then whispered to Wen Sheng: "I don't know where his staff stays?" Let's go around to the back of the flower hall and take a look. ”
Wen Sheng followed him around to the back of the flower hall.
I saw a few lanterns hanging sporadically under the back eaves, reflecting the quiet path, the flower branches hanging low, the large and small lake stones among the flowers were piled up at will, under the moonlight, it was idle and simple, quite interesting.
Seeing this, Zhong Tianzheng still had the leisure to praise: "I don't know who built this garden, and the craftsmanship is good." ”
There was not a single guard nearby, and the person in charge of guarding the villa couldn't imagine that anyone could touch it.
The two of them were still waiting to get ahead under the shade of flowers and trees, Zhong Tianzheng suddenly stood still, took Wen Sheng behind him, and whispered: "Someone!" ”
There were indeed people, and after a pause, Wen Sheng faintly heard footsteps.
The shoes with wooden soles made a "click" sound when stepping on the bluestone slab, mixed with the drum music and silk bamboo of the banquet guests.
Two people were walking along the path between the flowers.
Wen Sheng listened to a young man's voice: "Sister Tan, I see that you have never been very happy at the banquet, I don't know if I did something wrong, today is your birthday, I ......"
"Second Highness." The "Sister Tan" behind him spoke, although she interrupted the other party's words, her voice was not high, and it sounded quite soft and pleasant: "You invited so many people to celebrate my birthday, why didn't you tell me in advance?" ”
It turned out to be the granddaughter of the second prince Yang Haojian and Tan Lao Guoshi.
But Yang Haojian laughed, and his tone sounded a little proud: "What else does it mean, it's just to surprise you." ”
"However, today is not my birthday, my birthday is the day after tomorrow."
"How is that possible? Your eldest brother, he clearly told me, it's ...... today" Yang Haojian was stunned, paused and suddenly reacted: "He actually lied to me!" ”
Miss Tan sighed and said softly: "Who dares to deliberately deceive His Royal Highness, His Highness also knows that my eldest brother is usually not in shape, and I think he is just joking with you." ”
"But, but I invited so many people, wouldn't it be a big joke." Yang Haojian stood still and gritted his teeth: "Fortunately, you didn't expose it in public, otherwise this prince's face would be lost." ”
"It's already my brother's fault first, Ling Hui feels ashamed, how can she be so nonsense."
Yang Haojian seemed to be in a better mood when he heard this, and said with a dry smile: "It's still Sister Tan who is willing to think about me, and I just hope to cover up the past like this......"
Miss Tan Linghui hesitated for a moment, and had to remind the other party: "But the queen mother remembers my birthday...... Queen Tan is her aunt. (To be continued) R655
