Chapter 109: The East Strikes the West
The Blessing Palace is the place where the emperor prayed for the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang, and it is full of some sacrificial and blessing things. In the middle of the hall, there is a three-layer white marble pedestal, and three large incense burners of heaven, earth and man are placed on it. Whenever there is a sacrifice and blessing, the Son of Heaven will burn incense and worship here. Therefore, the land is a place of worship to the gods, so it has always been brightly lit.
If you listen closely to the seemingly empty hall, you will hear a rapid breathing sound.
After about half a cup of tea, a person peeked out from the incense burner on the left. I saw her wearing a purple veil and looking at the door of the temple with a panicked expression.
After a long time, I saw her lower her voice and shouted in a low voice: "Sister Keqing, Sister Keqing!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a head poking out of the incense burner in the middle, it was Qin Keqing.
I saw her cautiously look at the front door, and whispered, "I didn't hear any movement!" ”
Nangong Feifei shook her head and looked at Qin Keqing next to her with a depressed expression.
"No movement is the best news," Qin Keqing muttered with a long breath, "He will definitely be fine." After speaking, he jumped lightly and turned out of the incense burner. Nangong Feifei on the side, seeing this, also jumped lightly and stood next to her with her head down.
In the Blessing Palace, except for the breathing of the two, there was no abnormal sound.
Although the time was not long apart, Nangong Feifei's face was full of regret at this time, and she did not have the excitement she was eager to try just now.
Qin Keqing saw that he was in a depressed mood, so he said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to blame yourself anymore." After saying that, his expression changed, and then he said coldly: "When this matter is over, it seems that we need to meet this prefect for a while." ”
Originally, Wen Ziqi and the three of them had been following behind Miss Liu and them by the moonlight, wanting to see what they were going to do in the Longevity Palace. But because Nangong Feifei sneezed, tracking turned into negotiation.
Everyone is not stupid, in the territory of the palace, it is naturally impossible to fight, but they simply said their destination to each other, and then parted ways.
The glazed tiles are extremely smooth, even the birds have a hard time standing, not to mention a living person, fortunately, Qin Keqing knows the specific location of Yongxiang Palace, as long as he avoids the officers and soldiers patrolling, he can sneak in smoothly. It is also strange to say that the guards who should have been one wave of incense have inexplicably increased to two waves of one stick of incense. This caused the trio who had let their guard down almost to be spotted by the guards.
Just when the three secretly rejoiced, a glazed tile flew in inexplicably, exposing the hiding place of the three people. Fortunately, Wen Ziqi flashed out with an arrow step, shook the burden in his hand in front of the guards, and laughed: "A wave of waste, you don't know that Lao Tzu has moved all the things in the Longevity Palace." With that, he jumped up on the city wall and disappeared into the night.
This is the Imperial Palace, a heavily guarded Imperial Palace, and usually not even a wild cat can run in. At this time, a snitch appeared, and he threatened to remove all the things of longevity. And looking at the burden in his hand, a big bag of bulging bags, it is obvious that this person is not lying.
If it is really as he said, the Longevity Palace has been emptied, then it is estimated that none of the guards on duty tonight will have any good fruit to eat. Outsiders don't know, as guards, they naturally know what is in the Longevity Palace.
It was about themselves, the guards were red-eyed one by one, such an arrogant snitch was unheard of, so that those who ran away and returned it were shot indiscriminately, and the arrows flew like locusts against the empty city wall. When the quiver was empty, he threw down the bow in his hand and chased him out.
Nangong Feifei and Qin Keqing were hiding in the dark, looking at everything in front of them, they were both confused, how could they inexplicably have glazed tiles smashed down? This is clearly a deliberate act, and now is not a good time to think about it. Since this place has been exposed, naturally he can't stay for a long time, so he sneaks into the inner courtyard quietly along the root of the wall.
I have always heard that the royal courtyard is so big that it makes people lose their way, Nangong Feifei once sneered, it is definitely alarmist, no matter how big a courtyard is, how big can it be. At this time, I was in it, and I felt that I was really a mouse.
Pavilions, pavilions, ponds, pavilions, and water pavilions are hidden behind the rocks, and flower beds, bonsai, vines, and green bamboos are placed on both sides of the road. There is no heavy color as far as the eye can see, and if it weren't for the inopportune time, I really want to stop and enjoy it.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, I finally saw a palace with bright candles. But the strange thing is that there is no sound at all here, and even the guards are only two names at the door.
The two looked at each other, nodded heartily, and finally found a place to hide.
Just when Nangong Feifei and Qin Keqing sighed at the size of the palace, Wen Ziqi, who should have escaped over the wall, unexpectedly appeared ghostly in the hiding place of the three of them just now. Seeing the empty dark alley, Wen Ziqi was shocked, the secret way is not good, could it be that these two people were captured so quickly.
But if you think about it carefully, it has been less than half a cup of tea since he left, and even if he is captured, he should not have gone far, but there are no patrolling guards in this vicinity, so he is obviously not captured.
Since it is not captured, it means that it has been hidden. The thing is still on herself, so the two of them shouldn't go to Yongxiang Palace to wait. Since there is no danger, then you can leave the two of them alone.
Wen Ziqi's eyes lit up, and he glanced coldly at the fragments of glazed tiles on the ground, and muttered: "It's really ironic, you even used the trick of attacking the west with your voice, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." After saying that, he stomped on the ground with both feet and rose into the air.
When the bright moon was in the sky, Wen Ziqi stood alone on the roof, looked at the southeast, and said in a solemn tone: "I had no intention of provoking you, but you sent it to the door yourself, so don't blame me for being ruthless." With that, he jumped and swept towards the Longevity Palace.
Longevity Palace, located in the southeast corner of the palace, six dragon golden pillars at the door, all look up to the top of the palace, there is a gold lacquer square platform more than one person high in the middle of the hall, a carved dragon throne above, there are four small dragon golden pillars around the throne, also all look up to the top of the palace.
Looking up in the direction of the dragon's head, I saw a huge golden dragon in the center of the top of the temple, and when I looked closely, I saw that the dragon's mouth contained a white bead the size of a child's head. The two candle walls on the east and west make the entire Longevity Palace as bright as day.
Miss Liu looked at Brother Yang with a happy face and was stunned, she never thought that the honest man in front of her would be so vicious. Everyone meets in the water, but you want to kill others.
Brother Yang glanced back at Miss Liu, who was glaring angrily. Said lightly: "What, have an opinion?" ”
"Hmph," Miss Liu snorted coldly and asked, "Do you know that if you do this, you may kill the three of them?" ”
Brother Yang stretched out his hand and tore off his mask, it was Yang Hong who came to Governor Liu's birthday night. I saw him smile disapplausively: "I know." ”
"Know you still do this?" Miss Liu stood up angrily and glared at Yang Hong.
"Miss Yuzhu, are you teaching me to do things?" Yang Hong glanced at Liu Yushu and said angrily: "I'm just here to complete the task given to me by Master Liu." As for how to do it, it's not your turn to dictate. After that, he shook his hand and stood up, not taking this prefect lady in his eyes at all.
Liu Yushu, who has always been pampered, has been ridiculed like this, and suddenly became nameless, and wanted to reach out to fight.
"Yushu!" The other person standing at the door watching the wind whispered, "What kind of place is this, is it the time to make a temperament?" ”
Liu Yushu is not a stupid person, and knows that this place is by no means a place for fighting. It's just that she really doesn't agree with Yang Hong's approach.
After getting along for a few years, her senior sister naturally knew that although Liu Yushu was not speaking at this time, she still did not let go of this matter. He stepped forward and said softly: "Yang Shaoxia is also doing this for our good, you don't want to think about where this is, there are countless strong bows and crossbows." Once you find out, it's easier said than done. ”
"I know this," Liu Yushu frowned slightly, and still said guiltily: "They have no grievances with us, and it is indeed against morality to do so." If it is known, it will not be despised by others! Everyone has their own abilities, and even if they fail, I have nothing to say. It's hard for me to agree with him using unrelated people as stepping stones. ”
"It has nothing to do with people," Yang Hong snorted coldly, his eyes were like knives, and he glanced at Liu Yushu and said, "In the dead of night, why did the three of them come to this palace?" Is it a garden? You don't want to think about it either. It's not about people, maybe the gentleman on the beam can't say! ”
This is not unreasonable, the palace is a forbidden place, and it is naturally impossible for people to enter and exit at will, let alone late at night.
The senior sister nodded and said: "Yang Shaoxia is right, look at the other two of them are dressed in strong suits, maybe they are also here for this treasure, otherwise why follow us, seeing that their whereabouts are exposed, they casually said a place to try to deceive us." You have little experience in the rivers and lakes, so you will believe the lies of thieves. ”
Liu Yushu let out a long sigh, as if she didn't want to argue anymore, but said lightly: "The matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk more, you still have to think about how to get that orb." ”
Yang Hong didn't pay attention to him, just looked up at the huge bead on the top of the hall and muttered to himself: "This is the legendary pearl king, it looks like that's it!" ”
As he spoke, he untied a soft black rope the thickness of a brush from his waist, which shone in the light of the candlelight, and at the end of the rope there was a claw like a palm, but it was much larger.
Such a strange weapon is indeed rare, and the two women who saw it were stunned. Both of them were surprised where this person had hidden this object on his body just now.
Yang Hong shook the soft rope in his hand, which was two feet long, only to see him pick up the soft rope and throw it up, and suddenly whirring, saying that it was too late and fast, only to see that the black rope seemed to have eyes, and went straight to the bead.
