Volume 3 Two Beijing Storms Chapter 96 Clues

Far away, the carved beams and paintings, the magnificent Nangong Jiade Hall is already in sight, inside and outside the palace, the lights are bright, from time to time people rush in and out, it seems that they are still busy.

Several palace servants descended the steps from Zhengbu and hurriedly saluted when they saw Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng was slightly angry, and pulled a person: "Who let you come out?" Are you lazy and slippery? ”

The soldier was shocked: "Taichang Cheng, you misunderstood!" The Yushu Thousand Lights are about to be completed, and the final embedding is being done in the hall! ”

"Embedding?" Zhang Feng was slightly stunned: "Embed what?" ”

"It's the oil channel of a thousand lights!!" The soldier said respectfully: "Originally, it was going to be done after sunrise tomorrow, but because of the urgency of Taichang Cheng's urging, the master craftsman had to take the risk of working at night himself." In order to avoid the obstruction of the presence of the villains, the master craftsman ordered the villains to exit the temple together! ”

Before the words fell, I saw that the lights in the hall were suddenly dimmed, and only a few faint starlight lights flickered.

Zhang Feng and Nan Ying were stunned at the same time and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Please be relieved!" The soldier smiled and said, "The master has been instructed that it is extremely dangerous to connect the oil channel under the fire, so most of the candles must be extinguished!" ”

He hesitated for a moment before saying: "Forgive the villain for talking too much, it is better for Taichang Cheng to stay outside the palace for a while, so as to affect the affairs of the palace!" ”

"Oh! I see! Zhang Feng said with relief: "Brother Cui not only does it himself, but also works hard, but also has a meticulous heart and skills!" Well, the official is only waiting outside the palace! ”

He waved his hand and said happily, "Go down!" ”

Looking at the servants and craftsmen who dispersed, Nan Ying was puzzled: "Brother Feng, aren't you a young man?" Why did the servant call you too often? ”

"Hey, hey! Brother, you don't know! Zhang Feng's old face flushed, and he said with a little pride: "In order to properly handle the fiftieth birthday of the Queen Mother, I did not hesitate to do this Taichang Cheng at the expense of my old book!" ”

Nan Ying was relieved in his heart, Taichang specializes in ceremonial celebrations in the palace, and is the head of Jiuqing, and Zhang Feng chose to be Taichang's deputy Taichang at this time, I am afraid that he not only wants to do a good job of celebrating his birthday in both public and private ways, but is more likely to take advantage of this to go further and become one of the Jiuqing.

"In this way, the little brother understands!" He smiled and said: "I wish the Queen Mother a great joy, and I also wish my brother all his wishes come true!" ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Feng was happy in his heart, but said humbly: "You can't say that, it's not my own work, it's not my own work!" By the way, don't you see that the master is still working in the temple all night? ”

"Speaking of this master craftsman, do you hear my brother call him Brother Cui?" Nan Ying said casually: "But I don't know who it is?" ”

"He? You've seen it too! Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Feng Xu broke into the palace at night that day, he is a great hero!" ”

"Ahh It turned out to be him! Nan Ying said suddenly: "It's the son of Situ Cui Lie, the former Tiger Ben Zhonglang general Cui Jun!" Why did he become a master? This is a handicraft work in charge of the construction of palaces, temples, and mausoleums! ”

"You don't want to underestimate people!" Zhang Feng pursed his lips and said: "This Cui Jun is a master, he served as the commander of the left school under the master master before he became the general of the tiger Ben Zhonglang, and he presided over the construction of the mausoleum of the first emperor at the age of nineteen!" Now, it can be said that it is full of strengths! ”

"Build the mausoleum of the first emperor?" Nan Ying frowned, he somehow remembered the tomb robbery case on the Xianyang Plain.

"Of course!" Zhang Feng unconsciously continued: "I heard that Cui Jun once worshipped the famous craftsman Ma Zhen as his teacher and learned exquisite skills, and later he was called Song Dian, Bi Lan and others!" ”

"Bi Lan? The court order Bi Lan? Nanying was a little surprised: "I heard that this person once cast Tianlu shrimp toad, and not long ago he made a rollover and thirsty black, and he was a skilled craftsman in the world!" Cui Jun can be said to be equal to him, there must be something outstanding! ”

"How do you understand?" Zhang Feng said impatiently: "If it weren't for his skills, how could my Zhang family pull his Cui family to sacrifice his birthday together?" There is also the Cao family, which has amazing financial resources, and the three of us can be said to have their own strengths! ”

"It's more than that, isn't it?" Nan Ying sneered: "Now that the situation is chaotic, the three of you deliberately got together to jointly offer treasures, I'm afraid it also has the meaning of showing sincere unity to the Son of Heaven and the people of the world, right?" ”

"Haha! You've made great progress! Zhang Feng scratched his head and said: "Actually, if it weren't for the general pretending to be high, the four of us would have joined forces, and it would be enough to represent the ministers of the DPRK and China!" ”

"General?" Nanying's heart sank. The He family protects Shi Hou, and the Queen Mother supports Dong Hou, the two families were originally divided into courts, and they were incompatible, of course He Jin could not act with the three families, so wouldn't he deliberately show weakness and lower the Queen Mother? And Zhang Rang was originally supposed to advance and retreat with the He family as an in-law, did he put aside He Jin this time, did he have the intention of throwing his arms to the Queen Mother? Nan Ying thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, the intrigue among these palace guards was really chilling!

If they continue to fight like this, they can only fight to the death! And the deep meaning of Emperor Ling's making the two princes recognize themselves as imperial uncles is also here! If you want to save one of the failed princes, then you will inevitably find yourself in this cruel battle......

"Hanyang, Hanyang?" Zhang Feng's call suddenly pulled Nan Ying back from his contemplation, and he said apologetically: "Ah! What did the brother say? ”

"How about you and my brother just wait here patiently?" Zhang Feng was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Wei never expected that this is a critical moment!" ”

"It's okay!" Nan Ying waved his hand and said, "In fact, after tomorrow, the younger brother is afraid that he will not be able to see his brother!" At this time, you and my brother can talk freely under the moon! ”

"It turns out that the rumor is true!" Zhang Feng's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"I heard that you fought fiercely with Your Majesty?" He leaned over and gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Are you kid crazy?" A good lieutenant doesn't do it, but he is willing to degenerate what to do? ”

"Is it just the Son of Heaven?" Nan Ying also smiled bitterly in a low voice: "I have offended even your father, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the imperial capital in the future!" ”

"Looks like I'm looking for you right today!" Zhang Feng said viciously: "To tell you the truth, the Son of Heaven will personally come to inspect the Yushu Thousand Lights in a while!" I advise you with good words, you kid had better take this opportunity to bow your head to the Son of Heaven and confess your sins, and ask him to take back his fate! ”

"Brother Feng!" Nan Ying sighed lightly: "How can you not know your kind-hearted little brother?" But if you really want to be for my good, let me go! In the imperial capital, the little brother is really physically and mentally exhausted! ”

"Big deal!" He really felt Zhang Feng's sincere affection, and he was also a little pantothenic in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "The younger brother will often return to Beijing under the pretext, how about bringing some more wine for the elder brother?" ”

"Get out of the way! Who scarces your wine! Zhang Feng scolded, and finally relented: "Okay, as long as you still recognize me as a friend, get out if you want to!" ”

"By the way, you said there were rumors?" Nanying suddenly asked, "What are the rumors about me?" ”

"You kid is really deaf and blind!" Zhang Feng hated that iron could not become steel and said: "Now, the upper echelons of the entire imperial capital have spread all over the world, saying that you are arrogant and openly contradict the Son of Heaven, and when the Son of Heaven is angry, he has dispelled the holy will of letting you be the general of Zhengxi and the captain of Si Li!" In a word, you kid is out of favor now! ”

"Phew? What a fall from grace! It's like I'm a jerk! Nanying smiled dumbly and said: "But I really didn't expect that I had a big quarrel with the Son of Heaven, and only a few Son of Heaven guards were present, how could the news spread so quickly?" ”

"You are a new upstart in the DPRK and China, a new generation of influential figures!" Zhang Feng shook his head and sighed: "Not only is the Holy Family Zhenglong, but there are countless great achievements, how can it not attract the attention of all parties?" ”

"Speaking of attention? In fact, there are many people who hate me! For example......" Nanying suddenly paused, and said in surprise: "Huh? Why are the lights in the temple on again? ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Fengyi looked at it in amazement: "Could it be that the master craftsman has been completed so quickly?" ”

In front of the main hall, a column of figures slowly walked out, the first one was about forty years old, born with big ears, a strange appearance, a pair of eyes in the light of the lights are even more shining, giving people a sense of shrewdness and depth.

He waved his hand and shouted, "Someone! Go and clean the temple and wait for the Holy Driver to come in person! ”

"Brother Cui, it's really hard work!" Zhang Feng happily stepped forward and said: "Come on, come on, let me introduce you, this is my official friend, the famous Eagle Yang Zhonglang General Nanying!" ”

"Oh! Is it Nanying Yang? Cui Jun's deep eyes showed a hint of surprise that could not be concealed: "I have really admired the name of the general for a long time, and when I see it today, how can I be lucky?" ”

Nan Ying smiled and nodded: "You will be polite to be a master, and the little brother admires you!" Brother Feng is still praising your superb skills! ”

"It's just a little trick of carving insects, how can it be praised?" Cui Jun said humbly: "I hope that I will not be dishonored, so that the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven will scold!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed his hand apologetically: "It's not that the lower official is rude, it's really busy competing for the day, some are sleepy and tired, and the lower official wants to go back to the house to rest first!" ”

Nan Ying and Zhang Feng said in unison: "That's exactly how it should be!" ”

Cui Jun nodded, and walked down the stairs first, and more than a dozen servants behind him followed behind.

A palace servant suddenly came out of the corner, holding a glazed lamp in one hand and a bucket of water in the other, obviously to enter the palace to clean.

may not have expected that Cui Jun's subordinate team was still staying in front of the palace, and he was caught off guard and ran into one of them, "sigh", and fell backwards. The bucket of water was sprinkled on the ground, and the glass lamp in his hand also fell to the ground.

This change came too suddenly, many people didn't even react, Nanying just had time to turn his head following the voice, just saw that the exquisite glass lamp was about to fall to pieces, and couldn't help but cry out in his heart that it was a pity.

When everyone was crying out for pity, suddenly a flashlight flashed, and when the glass lamp was less than three inches from the ground, it was held steadily, and even the lamp oil did not spill half a drop.

Nan Ying looked all the way down that hand in disbelief, and was shocked to find that the person who shot it was actually Cui Jun's subordinate who was hit.

The man was unremarkable, and he was holding the lamp in his hand and looked at Cui Jun at a loss, and he seemed to be a little stunned.

Nan Ying's heart was awe-inspiring, how could an ordinary entourage have such a skill? His grasp was by no means deliberate, but a complete reflex.

"Ah San! What are you doing? Cui Jun's majestic voice sounded: "Clumsy, almost broke the royal thing!" ”

"Fortunately, you reacted quickly and caught the light in time!" He snapped, "Otherwise, you will be punished heavily!" Don't give the official a step back yet! ”

"Yes! Be! The man hurriedly handed the lamp to the glazed-eyed servant, and bowed his head down the imperial steps.

"Both! The next person is stupid, see and laugh! Cui Jun arched his hand again and left calmly.

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Feng smiled: "I will be a master craftsman, and even my subordinates are extraordinary!" No wonder such a project can be completed in such a short time! ”

He pulled Nanying, who was still in deep thought: "Let's go, hurry inside and have a look!" I'm really impatient to be a brother! ”

"Brother, don't you think it's strange? That ......" Nanying was about to express his doubts in his heart.

Zhang Feng said disapprerovingly: "I see that you are rare and strange, right, a senior craftsman has martial arts, isn't this a very ordinary thing?" My cooks in my house are a few taps! ”

As soon as the two entered the hall, they couldn't help but stagnate, and let out a low exclamation together.

In the golden hall, dozens of jade trees more than one person tall are full of light, emitting a dreamlike halo under the soft light, and between the tender green branches and leaves, countless golden flowers are shining, radiating a brilliant light that is difficult to see. The golden flowers and green trees are all lifelike, covering each other, and showing more crystal brilliance.

Nanying's eyes straightened, and he praised heartily for a long time: "Such a peerless treasure, even if it is not the last, it will be unprecedented!" ”

"yes!" Zhang Feng muttered in a dreamy tone: "I have seen it several times, but every time I am shocked and speechless!" What a treasure! ”

"Huh?" Nanying suddenly snorted: "What does this smell like?" It's pungent! ”

"Lacquer, of course!" Zhang Fengshu smiled and said: "This Jiade Hall is a place for celebrations, how can it not be renovated!" ”

"Didn't you say that the lacquer tastes sour?" Nan Ying wondered: "Why is there a trace of stench in this smell, but it is a bit like fire oil?" ”

"Say you don't read much, and that's true!" Zhang Feng said sarcastically: "Even I know that although the lacquer is good, it is not easy to dry and solidify, so it must be mixed with easy-to-dry tung oil!" ”

"This? Shame, shame! Nanying was so despised by him that he couldn't cry or laugh, saying that he didn't read much? I'm afraid that I am the most knowledgeable person in the world today, right?

"By the way, didn't you say that you are going to be a master craftsman and are embedding oil ducts? Will it still smell like those oils? He casually interrupted, "But why didn't I see the oil channel?" And these golden flowers are not lit either! ”

"What ignorance!" Zhang Feng said triumphantly: "In order not to hinder the view, of course those oil tunnels are going to be hidden underground!" ”

He stomped on the ground a few times with his feet, and the wooden plank immediately made an empty sound of "dong dong": "Did you hear that?" We've hollowed out the ground a few days ago! As for the reason why these golden flowers are not lit! ”

He smirked, "That's even more of a secret!" Do you know the overturned car made by Bi Lan? ”

"Know! What's wrong? Nanying nodded foolishly.

"That thirsty Wu is famous!" Zhang Feng pointed to the ten jade trees and said mysteriously: "We use the thirsty black, and then through the underground oil channel, we can actually absorb the oil from the hollow trunk of the underground and ignite the golden flower!" Magical, you say, isn't it magical? ”

"My day! It turned out to be a siphon! Nan Ying suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire Bi Lan's skillful skills to the ground.

"What do you say? What Red Drama Officer? Zhang Feng was suspicious: "How come I have never heard of this official position?" ”

"Ahem! It's nothing! Nanying smiled awkwardly and changed the topic again: "Why is it so bothering? Wouldn't it be nice to ignite it directly? ”

"What do you know?" Zhang Feng said disdainfully: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will personally ignite the first golden flower, and then activate the thirsty black underground, and then the jade tree will slowly extract the oil, and the thousands of golden flowers will be automatically ignited one by one!" In the meantime, all the concubines, princes, and ministers will celebrate their birthdays in turn, and when everyone is saluted, it will be the time when all the golden flowers are ignited! Such a creative is enough to be ancient and modern! ”

"So, aren't we standing on top of an oil bunker now?" Nan Ying couldn't help but be a little apprehensive: "There won't be any danger, right?" ”

"How is that possible? This has all been repeatedly checked by Cui Jun, and there is no danger! Zhang Feng laughed and said, "Otherwise, how dare Your Majesty come to try it out in person after a while?" ”

"You mean that the Son of Heaven will try to ignite a thousand golden flowers tonight?" Nan Ying's heart palpitated inexplicably: "Why do you want to try?" Also, the experiment is very important, how could Cui Jun, as the initiator, leave halfway? ”

"Of course you have to try!" Zhang Feng was stunned and said, "Otherwise, how can you know when all the golden flowers were ignited?" As for Cui Jun? Don't worry, what's wrong with what he makes with his own hands..."

"Someone!" Nan Ying suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Immediately check the hall, any suspicious thing must be reported to the general immediately, even if there is an extra thread or needle on the ground, it must be reported truthfully!" ”

It was completely out of instinctive vigilance that he blurted out, and suddenly found that everyone, including Zhang Feng, was stunned, but no one moved, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is not the army, there are no disciplined soldiers to obey their military orders.

Zhang Feng stared at Nan Ying deadly, with an unbelievable light in his eyes, and suddenly shouted: "General Nan's words, didn't you hear them?" Do it now! ”

"No!" As soon as these words came out, dozens of servants scattered one after another. They are all servants who directly belong to Taichang, and of course they will obey Taichangcheng's orders.

"Brother!" Zhang Feng swept away the smile of Shicai, he came to Nan Ying's side with a solemn face, and said in a low voice: "What did you see?" But what's wrong? ”

"I don't know!" Nan Ying's face was also heavy, he shook his head and said, "But what can I live on to this day?" It's with an intuition of danger. Especially from Cui Jun's ability to extinguish the candle and his men, I have reason to suspect ......"

"Yu Tai Chang Cheng, general!" One of the servants shouted, "Here's a few strange drops of grease!" ”

"Lots of mouths!" Zhang Feng shouted: "The underground is the oil channel, what's so strange about sprinkling a few drops of oil on the ground?" Otherwise, you will be a master craftsman, so why should you be ordered to sweep the temple! ”

"Wait a minute! Check it out! Nanying immediately rushed over.

"What? This is! He looked at the few drops of black grease on the corner of the column, and couldn't help but tremble violently, and his pupils contracted.

He slowly reached out and wiped some of his fingertips towards his nose.

Zhang Fengyou babbled to himself: "Huh? How is this oil pure black? Don't be urushi..."

Suddenly, Nanying bounced up from the ground like an electric shock and shouted, "Brother Feng! Come with me to arrest Cui Jun! ”

"What did you say?" Zhang Feng was so shocked that he almost fell, his eyes glazed and said, "What happened?" ”

"I..." Before Nanying could finish speaking, there was a sudden uproar in front of the hall, followed by a shrill eunuch's voice shouting: "Your Majesty has entered the palace!" ”

"No!" Nan Ying shouted desperately: "Quickly stop Your Majesty from entering the palace!" ”

PS: This chapter is too jerky, so I've been thinking about it for a long, long time, and we'll see if it can be completed below! In addition, Shirayuki's work has been transferred, and the time will be even tighter in the future, and the update may be affected! But no matter what: the eunuch has nothing to do with me, at most he will be an Ultraman! Brothers, will you continue to support me?
