In silence, Gu Yunxi and Lu Qiange finished breakfast and parted ways.

Looking at the girl's figure gradually disappearing on the official road, Lu Qiange's puzzled purple eyes blinked, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.

That girl's name is Tu Duxue?

When they met and greeted, her tone of calling "Brother Lu" was somewhat similar to Yunxi.

It must be an illusion, maybe I miss Yunxi too much!

The feeling of being lost is like a sour jujube placed between the tongue, which cannot be swallowed raw, and the mouth is full of bitterness and bitterness in the lips and teeth, and a slight coolness flows into the heart.

Sighing and shaking his head, Lu Qiange turned around, ready to go to the front and walk around at will.

As soon as he took two steps, he was surrounded by a group of Dongchang guards, and he couldn't help but say that he pushed people into the narrow alley on the right.

The long and narrow space was quiet and secluded, the sunlight could not come in, and the light was dim and hideous, and Lu Qiange's handsome facial features were hideous.

"What do you want to do!"

He roared like thunder, and his right hand pressed the hilt of the knife by inertia, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

At present, his identity is a guard of the palace forbidden army, and he is also half a colleague with Dongchang Fanzi, so he must not be offended at will.

"It's Ben Governor who is looking for you."

At the end of the alley, a low and beautiful voice sounded leisurely.

Lu Qiange's purple eyes were cold, and he watched Leng Qingtang steadily get closer and closer, his handsome and thin facial features shrouded in dark shadows, pressing a solemn color.

Leng Qingtang, who was five steps away, stopped, swept Fan Wei with cold and blank eyes, and ordered everyone to retreat.

The guards blocked the entrance of the alley and did not allow idlers to enter.

The two pairs of handsome eyes looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Leng Qingtang took the lead in asking:

"What do you want to do as a foreigner who infiltrates my Dayi Palace?"

Lu Qiange's expression was cold, his eyes were like sharp blades swirling under his eyes, as if he was about to come out and shoot the other party invisibly.

If it weren't for this official uniform, Lu Qiange would have already pulled out his steel knife and cut down the enemy in front of him.

With a slight smile in his eyes, Lu Qiange lowered his right hand holding the knife, and replied with a calm face:

"I wandered the rivers and lakes and lacked entanglements to come to the palace to earn some silver taels, what's the matter, this is also hindering the eyes of the overseer?"

Leng Qingtang sneered, and the cold glow of resentment burst out of his eyes:

"The third prince of the Udanguo also has a short hand? You can't be a three-year-old kid when you are a governor! Since you would not speak, the governor of the ward banned the military steward and expelled you from the barracks. ”

Lu Qiange smiled, as if he was not intimidated by the other party's threat at all, and replied coldly:

"Since you know my identity, you should know that my mother concubine is the sister of your Dayi emperor, and I advise you not to embarrass me."

What he said was true. Counting up, there is still a clan relationship between him and Leng Qingtang.

However, what could make him infiltrate the Dayi Palace regardless of his identity?

This question passed through Leng Qingtang's heart, and he immediately asked with an iron face:

"Why were you with the maidservants in the palace just now?"

That's what really gives him a headache.

This imperial nephew just touched the palace and found Gu Yunxi, could it be that he recognized her? Or, did he know that Tu Duxue was Gu Yunxi from the beginning?

Lu Qiange's eyes were slightly stunned and then he reacted, and spread his hands:

"It was an accident, I just had a meal with her as a favor. By the way, he will find Yunxi back in the future, you dare to tell her about it, I will never want you to look good! ”

Leng Qingtang couldn't cry or laugh.

It seems that Lu Qiange has no idea about Tu Duxue's true identity, which makes Leng Qingtang feel a little relieved.

Just as he was about to continue to ask again, there was a noise a few meters away.

Fan Lin was wrestling with the guards at the entrance of the alley, struggling to rush into the alley, shouting:

"Lord Leng, the villain is the captain of the fifth team of the Tiger Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and that person is not sensible when he enters the camp, and I hope that Lord Overseer will be merciful——"

Leng Qingtang waved his hand to his subordinates, and the guards let go of Fan Lin.

Fan Lin was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he knelt on the ground after staggering a few steps, and kept kowtowing to Leng Qingtang:

"Overseer, Overseer, you don't remember the villain, the newcomer doesn't understand the rules and collides with you, I hope you don't have the same knowledge as him, spare his life for the time being-"

Leng Qingtang frowned, looking helpless. wanted to come to Dongchang to be notorious in the capital, and before he could do anything, he was misunderstood for no reason.

"Don't knock, get up."

He raised his eyelids in annoyance, and his cold eyes turned to Lu Qiange with a fearless face again:

"The rules in the palace are not as good as the outside, if you misbehave, don't blame the governor for being ruthless!"

Putting down a sentence sharply, Leng Qingtang walked out of the narrow alley with his sleeves brushed up.

It's okay to leave Lu Qiange, since you force him not to say it, let's see how big a wave he can make in the palace on his own.

……

At dinner, Concubine Xu drank a lot of chrysanthemum wine, and she fell asleep drunk very early.

On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, Lan Xin was on duty, making sobering soup on the stove and preparing a supper to prevent the mother from waking up halfway to eat.

Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Gu Yunxi changed into a dark suit, flashed out of the ear room after covering his face with a long handkerchief, drove out of the palace with light skills, and crossed the ridge according to the route found from passers-by in the morning, and galloped towards the hidden mountain......

She finally reached her destination.

On the high _ post, the night breeze is gentle.

The horizon is empty, with mountains rising and falling, and the outlines of the night are not very clear. The shadows of the trees in the vicinity are dense and turned, layered and staggered, silently revealing the unique depression of late autumn.

Remembering that he had been secretly imprisoned in this unknown realm for a whole year, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, resentment, hesitation, confusion, and bitterness...... All kinds of emotions are twisted together and condensed in my heart.

The first night detective, blocking the door without waiting for the summons of the lord is a violation.

In the end, do you want to alarm him?

Gu Yunxi took out the jade flute from the wide belt of his waist, and was hesitating whether to blow it to lead him to appear, when he suddenly felt a cold wind gurgling behind him.

Then large, ghostly claw-like hands swam nimbly from behind her, easily hooking her waist.

"The flute was given to you, not for you to do this......

The cold and misty sound floated in the girl's ears without roots and clues, and between the breaths, a trace of cool and faint breath hit Gu Yunxi's side face, and her hairs suddenly stood up, and her heart was like thunder.

"Respect, Respect ......"

Gu Yunxi turned his back to the masked man and murmured, and his five fingers clenched the piccolo uncontrollably.

This guy came out of behind people in the middle of the night without a sound, and those who didn't know thought it was a ghost in the cemetery, and he could scare people to death!

"You've found it anyway."

Without much emotion, he pulled her body and forced her to face him.

Afraid of being punished, Gu Yunxi bowed his head and asked cautiously:

"If you didn't want to be found by me, you wouldn't have deliberately arranged for Baoting to serve me in the past."

A strong person never wants to be seen through by others, and he is afraid that he will commit a taboo again.

After not hearing the other party's response for a long time, Gu Yunxi's heart beat violently, and he raised his eyelashes to look at him with courage, facing a pair of cold and hazy eyes, with a thin haze inside.

However, unlike before, at this time, his stylish pink lips under the mask were lightly pursed, as if there was a slight arc involved, as if he was rarely seen with a happy smile.

"Yes, I revealed my habitat to you, but I didn't let you come empty-handed."

The tone is light and a little playful.

Gu Yunxi was a little difficult:

"I haven't found any clues about the map of Kunhuang Island in the two months since I entered the palace, and I don't know where to start for a while, so I hope your honor will give me some hints."

The smile lines on the lips were even deeper, and the masked man looked at the girl with a somewhat well-behaved expression in her concentration, and her tone turned like a mellow spring water, flowing softer than she had ever been:

"There used to be a 'Tianyan Gate' in Dayi that specialized in the study of hidden weapons of organs, and because it was regarded by the emperor as a side door and left road, it was expelled from the territory, and it crossed the sea to settle down with the East Island Yingguo.

A year ago, there was a traitor in this door, named Lei Huan, who escaped from the door to Baokun Huangdao after killing the thirteenth generation of the head of the family. I have been tracking that man so far, and I know that he has dealings with a certain official in the palace, and he will definitely enter the palace in the future.

Last year I took you captive to the Imperial Tomb Underground Palace to teach you your skills, in order to wait for this day to come. ”

"Did you arrange for me to enter the palace to let me wait for the rabbit?"

Gu Yunxi's clear eyes lit up, quietly examined the contemplative face under the cold mask, and asked abruptly for a moment:

"Who are you? Being able to hide in such a secret place and plant countless dark lines inside and outside the palace, where are you sacred! ”

Thinking about last month, when Gu Yunxi was anxious to wait for the contact of the mask man and wanted to get the next box of Hanfu cream, one morning, she pushed the door and saw the rouge box under the window that was exactly the same as her hand.

From this, it can be inferred that there must be eyes and ears of this mysterious man in the palace.

Seeing that he was silent at this time, Gu Yunxi simply reached out to lift his mask.

Hengzhu broke in today, and she let it out, and she didn't want to leave in a daze.

There was a cold light in the eagle's eyes, and he raised his hand to grab her thin wrist, and shouted:

"If you think clearly, you won't be able to return to the palace if you uncover this aspect!"

Gu Yunxi chuckled:

"You went to great lengths to change my face and then send me to the palace, is it possible that I will fall short?"

The confinement on her wrist tightened suddenly, the air around her condensed like ice, and the cold swishing breath climbed up her back.

It seems that he is really angry.

"You think you're the only one who can get the job done? If you think so, you can take off my mask and see what happens! ”

was viciously opposed to the army, Gu Yunxi was divided, his complexion was entangled for a moment, and the rules fell to his arm.

"Your Excellency, you sent someone to send me Hanfu ointment, and I'm running out of ......"

"Well, I remember."

The strong and cold tone finally eased, and the masked man's voice gradually warmed up.

Then, he pulled out the oval rouge box from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into her hand.

Seeing her standing in the wind in the frosty night of late autumn, her delicate body trembled, and without saying a word, she took off her body and wrapped her soft body tightly.

"It's too late, go back to the palace, I'll arrange for someone to send you a set of night clothes as soon as possible." Be careful, and the next time you come back, I hope you will bring me a map of Kunhuang Island. ”

As he spoke, he looked at her with deep eyes, losing his momentum and coldness, more like rubbing his ambiguous feelings of compassion, and he was reluctant to move away.

Gu Yunxi didn't care about this, lowered his head and put away the rouge box and jade flute, and flew behind him to retreat.

Behind the masked man, a graceful figure took a step forward around the tree trunk, and a tactful voice like a bell was released from the opening, which sounded the same as Gu Yunxi's:

"Your Excellency, I bet she won't be able to complete the task."

The masked man's eyes sank, and he said sharply without looking back:

"Before you can show your strength, step back to this king!"

——

The Imperial Palace, the Master of Ceremonies –

Recently, Emperor Jingxiao indulged in beauty and alchemy, and ignored the government and politics. The piles of twists and turns were passed to the celebrant supervisor, all pressed on Leng Qingtang's bookcase, and he was busy wearing red at the desk all night.

A little eunuch ran in and knelt in front of the bookcase:

"Lord Bingdu, there are assassins in the palace, and the forbidden army is trying their best to arrest them."

Leng Qingtang twisted his eyebrows suddenly, and rushed out.

In the corner of the palace, Gu Yunxi relied on his excellent light skills to run forward, trying to avoid the forbidden troops surging from all directions.

Just now she returned from the hidden mountain, successfully crossed the corner tower of the palace, and fell into the palace from the edge of the glazed tiles.

Seeing the forbidden army of the night patrol walking towards this place through the cloister, Gu Yunxi was suddenly frightened, and when he turned around to dodge, the big shrub that was covered in a big coat cut into the branch of the flower bed.

She waved her hand and dragged it recklessly, not wanting to break the branch and make a noise that would reach the ears of the forbidden army.

"Who's there!"

One shouted, and the team followed.

Gu Yunxi hurriedly flipped the big hat, covered the wide hood on his head, turned around and ran in reverse.

"There are assassins! Someone! ”

"Catch him—"

The shouts came and fell, and the sky above the quiet and empty imperial city was like thunder, washing in all directions.

Gu Yunxi's dantian luck jumped up to the palace, and the archers came in time.

A chaotic arrow, Gu Yunxi resisted the attack with internal strength and was not injured, but was forced down from the tall building by the rain of arrows.

Hiding and fleeing on the palace road, from time to time there are forbidden troops who are familiar with the route to surround and outflank, and she is in a hurry like a headless fly, bumping around.

After several twists and turns, Gu Yunxi fled into a sheep intestine trail after throwing off the pursuers again.

A figure suddenly pounced from behind the rockery, and her warm big hand quickly blocked her mouth.

The cold incense strikes.

Gu Yunxi leaned against the rockery, and the hot air in his nose continued to spew out, all sprinkled on his hands, and the flickering brilliance of horror filled his eyes, and he looked straight at his thin lips and squirmed, and squeezed out a sentence:

"If you want to live, don't say anything!"

PS: Lu Qiange, who has not had a role for a long time, finally appeared on the stage, come to some applause. All sides are firing on all sides, and the indiscriminate attack is about to begin!
