The moon is cold and the wind is light, the three people who galloped stopped and looked into the distance, not far away is the destination of this trip "Dragon Mansion", look up, only to see the corner of the corridor eaves lofty pavilion towering, the arches are staggered. Although it is night, there are still bursts of light on the glazed tiles, so you can imagine how dazzling it is under the sun.

Looking down the eaves, you will see a row of stone pillars, and each pillar has a giant dragon coiled, and even the scales on the dragon's voice are depicted in gold paint, and it is still shining in the starlight. Although it is built in the mountains, it occupies a large area, which is beyond imagination. Further down is the staircase made of huge stones, with a total of 64 steps.

It is said that this palace was designed by a master and built according to the layout of the eight trigrams. It was different in all directions, and although it was not the first time Qin Keqing came, he was still dumbfounded. What's more, Nangong Feifei and Wen Ziqi, who saw the scene for the first time, saw that both of them had wide eyes, and they couldn't believe that what they saw was only one-eighth.

Nangong Feifei's eyes moved frequently, and she said, "Such a large palace, if you get lost at night, it will be troublesome." Although he said without confidence, his face was full of excitement.

"Don't stop the trouble," Qin Keqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "Trespassing into the palace, once discovered, you can kill on the spot." So two, if you want to go back, it's still too late. ”

Since ancient times, the supremacy of imperial power, the slightest desecration is not tolerated, the slightest carelessness is often a catastrophe, and it is avoided on weekdays, for fear of committing a taboo and causing the disaster of killing.

The differential blew over, the pine branches shook gently, and Wen Ziqi, who was leaning on the trunk of the tree, raised his eyes and glanced at the palace in the distance, smacked the pine needles in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I want to say a clever plan, but I don't know it." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Feifei, who was worried about getting lost just now, turned pale and said unhappily: "That's so boring!" Since you want to break in, of course, the bigger the movement, the better, so that it is fun. ”

The guards are tight, and once discovered, they can be surrounded in an instant, and the person in front of him actually wants to make the movement as loud as possible.

Qin Keqing looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling remorse for this action in his heart. But now that the arrow is on the string, how can it not be sent.

Up to now, it is still impossible for him to think about it, so he can only pray for mercy from God and let his death not be too miserable. Thinking of this, he waved his hand and prepared to act.

The hand that could be waved out did not fall, but was tightly grasped by a pair of big hands. As soon as Qin Keqing was about to scold, he saw Wen Ziqi shaking his head slightly, reaching out to cover his mouth and whispering, "Someone!" ”

Looking along his fingertips, he saw three black shadows coming up from the foot of the mountain more than 20 zhang away from them, rushing quickly along the official road. If it weren't for the winding mountain road and the trees in the middle, I'm afraid the two groups of people would have met each other at this moment.

These people are dressed in night clothes, and they must not be doing things above board. Although it was late at night, the swaggering from the official road really surprised the three of them.

Surprised, but without the slightest hesitation, he hid behind a boulder. Just as Wen Ziqi and the others had just hid for less than a few breaths, these three had already come outside Zhang Xu. Hiding in the dark, Wen Ziqi and his party all held their breath after looking at each other, afraid of making a sound.

The silent mountain suddenly remembered a faint female voice: "Brother Yang, I came all the way, and my breath is a little fluctuating, why don't we take a short rest in the pavilion next to us before moving forward?" Although the voice of the speech was not high, it was all word-for-word and floated into Wen Ziqi's ears.

The gazebo, there was only one pavilion nearby, directly opposite where Wen Ziqi was hiding.

Wen Ziqi looked over, and through the moonlight, he saw a woman in a dark color suit, walking into the pavilion by herself, regardless of whether Brother Yang in his mouth agreed with what he said just now.

The man in black who was walking in front heard that he wanted to rest, and just as he was about to speak to stop him, he found that the person who spoke was already sitting in the gazebo. He shook his arm and said, "Miss, this is not a garden, you'd better figure out the situation." ”

The woman who was called the eldest lady raised her head and looked at Brother Yang pitifully, looking like she wanted to cry.

"Don't come to this trick, it's useless!" Brother Yang's expression was grim, and he said in a solemn tone: "This trick even dares to come out and show off." ”

Seeing that he was indifferent, the eldest lady sighed lightly, turned her head to look at the other person standing outside the pavilion and said, "Senior sister." ”

As if begging, as if complaining, "Say something." ”

The woman he called her senior sister smiled lightly and said, "What do I say, just say that you play with the lady's temper, let it go?" Yang Shaoxia is right, we are not a garden, so everything is better to be cautious. ”

"In order to accommodate you, you don't take the trail, you still have to inch in, and you actually sit in the pavilion to rest, you think this is your back garden!"

Hearing this, Wen Ziqi finally understood why the three of them swaggered from the official road, it turned out that this young lady disliked the rugged road, and the other two had to do it in order to accommodate her.

The eldest lady saw that her senior sister, who had always protected her, did not speak for herself in this matter, so she snorted, twisted her head to the side, and stopped paying attention to the two.

After a short silence, Brother Yang, who was the leader, said lightly: "It's almost, this place is not far from the palace, if you are still moving forward on the official road, I am afraid there is only one end, and that is a dead end." ”

This is absolutely true, this place is less than a hundred zhang away from the palace, and the sound of the open space naturally spreads farther than usual. Boom. "The sound of pace.

The eldest lady had no choice but to stand up helplessly, walked out of the gazebo step by step, and muttered: "In the middle of the night, who will pay attention to us." ”

The man he called Brother Yang didn't pay attention to him, but just raised his hand and pointed to the southeast corner of the palace and said: "The Longevity Palace is in the southeast corner, and the Blessing Palace is behind the Yongchun Palace, we will go to the Longevity Palace now, and when the matter is over there, we will go to the Blessing Palace." ”

The eldest lady was stunned when she heard this, and just as she was about to speak, she saw the man surnamed Yang wave his hand and go straight to the southeast corner, not caring whether the two next to her had any opinions.

The two of them were stunned, and the eldest lady was so angry that she pointed at the man surnamed Yang who left with her hand, and scolded: "What is he, he dares to do this to me!" ”

The other person just glanced at the direction in which the man surnamed Yang left, and said lightly: "Before coming out, Governor Liu said that everything in this operation is arranged by him, so don't complain anymore!" Let's go. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eldest lady instantly withered a lot, and her eyes wandered, as if she remembered something terrible. She can clearly remember what her father said to herself before leaving, she is arrogant and empty-eyed on weekdays, I will let your temperament be, but if you mess up with me tonight, don't blame my father for turning his face and being ruthless.

The father, who was originally kind, said this, but what appeared in his eyes was a chill, like a sharp sword that went straight to her heart.

Before he could stop thinking about it, he saw that the senior sister beside him had already kicked the ground with both feet, rushed out of the official road with an arrow step, and rushed towards the Longevity Palace pointed out by the man surnamed Yang.

Looking around at the empty wilderness around her, the eldest lady suddenly felt a chill all over her body, so she used her feet hard and ran away.

After the three of them left for about half a cup of tea, Wen Ziqi and his party slowly walked out from behind the boulder.

Looking at the direction they left, Nangong Feifei frowned, and said with a smile: "Sister Keqing, I am sure that the palace is correct here, how can it feel similar to the carriage and horse shop, there are so many people visiting." ”

Qin Keqing smiled slightly, didn't pay attention to Nangong Feifei's ridicule, just looked at the direction where the three of them left, stunned.

can be called Liu Governor's Mansion, and there is only one person in the whole country, Liu Nantian, the prefect of Qingzhou, listening to the conversation of those people just now, it can be seen that one of them is Liu Nantian's beloved daughter Liu Yushu.

Seeing that she was worried, as if she was in a state of despair, Wen Ziqi opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, do we also have to go to the place they said." ”

Qin Keqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head lightly and said, "Let's go to Yongxiang Palace, and we will go on a different path from them." ”

Wen Ziqi let out a thoughtful "oh", the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered: "It's good not to be on the same road, otherwise it will be lively!" ”

Nangong Feifei, who likes to be lively the most, was suddenly stunned when she heard the word lively, and said with a cunning look between her eyebrows: "I have an immature suggestion, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Wen Ziqi looked at her with a surprised face, and said with a smile: "It won't be a sound attack!" ”

Nangong Feifei suddenly nodded happily, obviously what Wen Ziqi said was exactly what she wanted to suggest. hurriedly stretched out his right hand to high-five Wen Ziqi, but was ruthlessly stopped by Qin Keqing.

I saw her sighing faintly, shaking her head, and whispering in her mouth: "How can you two have such thoughts, isn't this a scourge to others!" ”

After being counted down by her, Wen Ziqi and Nangong Feifei looked at each other, and Nangong Feifei said disapprerovingly: "What's this, they don't look like good people, they don't sleep and run here at night." ”

As soon as the words came out, I realized that I was also running here without sleeping at night, but after thinking about it, I was relieved that my group was here to return things, not to steal things, which is the essential difference.

After thinking about it like this, he felt that he should act according to his own ideas, so he said with a moving expression: "Sister Keqing, don't you want to know what this old fox sent people here for, maybe he sent people here to steal tribute." As a four-grade inspector, how can you turn a blind eye! As she spoke, she looked calm, and her expression was like that of a devil who was leading people to fall.

Maybe she really knew Qin Keqing, maybe Qin Keqing had this intention, but after these words came out, I saw Qin Keqing ponder a little, and then said with a solemn expression: "Sister Feifei's words are not unreasonable, I can't sit idly by." Let's go, let's catch up! ”
