"There are no rules, what are you staring at, don't you see that the Qing Commercial Department is busy? Why don't you come over and help lift it!"

Li Ji looked intently, and saw the short and fat man with a meaty face holding a whip in his hand, and kept shouting in his mouth: "Look at whoever dares to be lazy, I'm welcome!"

As he spoke, he slammed the whip to the ground, and several of the men carrying the heavy box turned pale with fright, trembled, and the box fell heavily to the ground.

"It doesn't seem to have been recognized, maybe I've taken myself as a subordinate. The courtyards here are staggered, and there are many people coming and going, and it is estimated that they do not know each other completely, so why don't I take the opportunity to sneak in and look for an opportunity to get out, so as not to clash head-on and startle the snake!"

Thinking of this, Li Ji responded in a low voice, and hurriedly ran over to lift the heavy wooden box with everyone.

Seeing this, the short and fat man walked ahead quite satisfied, and whispered to the attendant beside him: "General Wang is really right, he sent such a big box." ”

A person beside him also said softly: "My lord, do you know, it is said that the thing sent this time is a treasure. ”

"Really, indeed, General Wang has a large number ......of extraordinary products that are sent every year!

"Of course, of course ......"

After speaking, the two of them ate and laughed as they walked in front.

They seemed to be talking about the contents of the box, and Li Ji listened for a while, but he didn't hear a reason.

After walking for a while in the Qing Commercial Office, I stepped through the partition door of the bamboo skirt and finally entered a large courtyard.

As soon as you step into this hospital, there is a fragrance, secretly floating under the nose, sucking quietly, it is elegant and pleasant, and when you raise your eyes, the flowers in the garden are blooming!

"I don't know who lives in this courtyard, although it is not as magnificent as the outside, but it also has the charm of an empty valley. ”

Li Ji lowered his eyes and looked around, only to see that the courtyard was brightly lit inside and outside, and there was a lotus pond in the center of the courtyard, and there were several osmanthus trees by the pool. In front is a hall, several main rooms, and side rooms on both sides. Outside, the moonlight was gentle, enveloping the entire courtyard. The shadow of the tree is swaying, and the fragrance of osmanthus is refreshing.

Walking through the courtyard, you will see an incredible scene of luxury: the exquisite reliefs on the walls are gilded with gold powder, the large crystal chandeliers made of the finest crystals overhead, the parquet floors inlaid with expensive elf rosewood and nanmu at the feet, and the hall decorated with many glittering gemstones, which are brilliant and dazzling, and even the air seems to contain the air as if it contains the air of arrogance and lasciviousness......

The melodious music gently stirred in the hall, and there were many girls dressed in beautiful clothes in front of them, or skirts with thin waists, lightly stepping on lotus steps, dancing, or playing flutes, tulle ribbons were fragrant, lotus root powder arms were flying, ten fingers were moving, smiling like flowers, eyebrows and eyes, shining between Gu Pan, and the end was beautiful.

Li Ji stepped into the courtyard with everyone, this scene was like a spring breeze, and the melodious ensemble sound came slowly like a trickle, wafting with the aura of the next world, which was so otherworldly, ethereal and profound!

Some maids and servants were busy, still squirming, quiet and orderly.

The short and fat man said to the few people who carried the wooden box: "Ming'er is a begging event, there is no room for the slightest mistake, you carry the wooden box to the backyard room, be careful, don't damage the treasure, I will call Gonggong Liu to come and inspect the goods." ”

After finishing speaking, he left, Li Ji took this opportunity to take a few glances at the hall, only to see a girl in pink looking at the corner of her mouth with a warm smile, her eyes were innocent, her slender fingers were playing the guqin, her face was like a peach blossom, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was very cute.

Such a beautiful picture, quiet and harmonious, no one wants to disturb it.

Li Ji hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said secretly: "I don't know what this 'Qing Commercial Department' does, the courtyard is quiet, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and beautiful women gather here to sing softly, with fluttering clothes and long sleeves and good dancing, it is really unimaginable!"

I didn't dare to look at it at the moment, and followed everyone to carry the wooden box to the backyard room.

As everyone entered the backyard, they saw that there was an indescribable fragrance in the elegant rooms, which was not dull or dry, but the fragrance was unforgettable.

When they came to one of the private rooms, they gently placed the heavy wooden box on the ground.

The subordinate shrugged his shoulders and complained: "Oh, I don't know what is so heavy, I'm tired, go back early to rest, I still have a lot of work to do tomorrow." ”

"Go ......"

Li Ji was about to leave the private room with everyone when he suddenly heard a dull voice coming from inside the wooden box.

Shaking his head, thinking it was a hallucination, he was about to close the door and retreat, when the dull voice rang out again, and the sound was so small that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground was louder than it.

Li Ji had the cultivation of the old man Dugu and the beast spirit pill energy of the thousand-year-old tarantula in his body, but he didn't realize it, but under the warmth of these two unique energies, he unconsciously became deaf and clear, which was obviously different from ordinary people.

"There's something strange about this wooden box, I don't know what it is?"

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Li Ji quietly slipped into the private room.

Approaching the wooden box, I listened intently for a while, and faintly heard a faint gasp.

Li Ji was taken aback, and almost screamed: "It seems that someone is trapped inside, that short and fat person doesn't look like a good person no matter how he looks at it, he must have done something hurtful and unreasonable, and he actually hid the person in the box, if he didn't untie it in time, wouldn't he suffocate to death?"

So with the sword in his sleeve, he pried the wooden box open.

I saw a girl in red lying in the wooden box, with long hair covering her face, her hands and feet tied behind her back, and a rag stuffed into her mouth, she couldn't speak, exactly the same as when she was tied in by a crazy girl, and couldn't help but sympathize: "Girl, don't panic! I'm here to save you!"

Then he swung his sword and cut all the ropes, and took out the rag in his mouth.

The girl in pink half-sat up, caressing the long hair that covered her face, her outfit was extremely charming, but this charm seemed to be much inferior to her demeanor.

Her apricot eyes were half-smiling, flattering, and her red lips were slightly open, wanting to attract people's fragrance.

The two of them looked at each other in shock and said, "It's you?"

Lying in the wooden box, the girl in red turned out to be Yu Nizi who married Jinlan in Yangxian's "Spring Manlou".

Li Ji hurriedly helped Yu Nizi to stand up, and asked with concern, "Why are you trapped in the wooden box?"

Yu Nizi's face turned pale, and he said quietly: "At the beginning, the virtuous brother overwhelmed the crowd and helped his sister win the 'Oiran' in one fell swoop in Chunmanlou, and he suddenly became famous all over the country. I thought it was a bright flower, but who knew that it was a mountain and a river, and the next day the hussar general Wang Jing sent someone to redeem me, and I became a kabuki of the palace. ”

Li Ji was shocked when he heard this: "There is such a thing?"

Later, General Wang personally met me, he treated me like his own daughter, and offered me well in the mansion, and spared no expense to hire famous people to teach, astronomy and geography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, customs and etiquette, rules and regulations, everything was learned, and nothing was taught. ”

"Can this Wang Jing have such a good heart?"

Listening to Yu Nizi talk about Wang Jingze, Li Ji also had this person's voice and smile in his mind, with a full face and beard, and a very big voice, he was a martial artist, extremely reckless, and he didn't understand poetry and songs, why did he spend so much money to cultivate Yu Nizi?

"Yes, it's a pity that I was also confused at the time, thinking that Wang Jing was a good person, so I followed the famous people in the mansion to learn with peace of mind. ”

"Until one night, General Wang stood in front of me and told me that the reason why he ransomed me back from Chunmanlou and cultivated me with a lot of money was to let me enter the palace at the right time, so as to gain the favor of the emperor and become a big celebrity around him, so as to control the government and lay a chess piece for General Wang to control the government and lay a net of heaven and earth. ”

When Li Ji heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, and after a while, he stammered with empty eyes and stammered: "What?

"Yes, I was also surprised, and asked him why he was like this, and he used my deed of sale as a threat, saying that if I did not cooperate, he would sell me to the Qinglou and let others spoil me, and that it was time for me to repay the cultivation of me at all costs. General Wang seemed to have changed overnight, and frightened me so much that no matter how much I pleaded, he ignored it, and then tied me up, put me in this wooden box, and sent me directly to the palace. ”

Li Ji's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened wide, and he showed an incredulous expression: "What? You mean to say that we are in the palace?"

"Exactly! I wonder how the virtuous brother is here?"

"Hey, it's hard to say, I'm also kidnapped in for some reason. ”

A strange expression flashed on Yu Nizi's face, and he said, "What? You were also tied in?"

Li Ji smiled bitterly: "It turns out that this is the palace, no wonder it is so big, you can't get out no matter how you go." The people in the palace seemed to be very strange, dressed strangely, had many rules, spoke softly, and all exuded an eerie atmosphere. ”

"They are all eunuchs and maids in the palace, the palace is as deep as the sea, and everyone lives here with trepidation, which is very different from the people. ”

Li Ji listened to Yu Nizi's reminder, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder these men have a soft voice and walk lightly, it turns out that they are eunuchs in the palace." That crazy girl said on the surface that she was begging me to help her do something, and secretly locked me up, with ill intentions, there must be a conspiracy! Could it be that she wants to click me off from below, and be a eunuch in the palace for the rest of her life, and be a servant?"

The more Li Ji thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said fiercely in his heart: "Crazy girl, don't do it in my hands, otherwise you will look good." ”

Yu Nizi saw that Li Ji was stunned, so he asked, "Brother Xian, are you okay?"

Li Ji came back to his senses suddenly, and briefly told him about the kidnapping of the crazy girl, only to see Yu Nizi shaking his head and saying, "The palace is really incredible!"

"It's okay, I've worshiped under the door of Shennong Villa now, if something happens, the master will also seek justice, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to Shennong Villa with me." Without further ado, let's find a way to slip out, shall we?"

Yu Nizi was overjoyed when he heard this, paused, frowned, and said with a worried face: "But the palace is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for us to fly." ”

Li Ji asked himself, with his current strength, he really can't get out of the palace.

When he raised his eyes and looked at her helpless but sad red and swollen eyes, he couldn't help but look at her, and said with a straight face: "What's so terrible about this, it's a big deal." ”

"Brother Xian, you are so good, it is really a blessing to be able to know you. However, I am afraid that breaking through is just sending you to death! I heard that tomorrow the imperial palace will hold a begging feast, during which there will be various ceremonies and performances, why don't we take advantage of the chaos and try to escape, wouldn't we have a better chance of winning?"

Li Ji nodded and said, "It makes sense, then it's up to you!"

At this time, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and Yu Nizi hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, you hurry up and find a place to hide first, I'm afraid that the Qing Shang Department and the official are here, in order to avoid suspicion, you still tie me up, restore the original state, and I will act again." ”

Li Ji held Yu Nizi's jade hand and said, "Okay! ”

In an instant, Li Ji hid in a hidden place in the private room.

As soon as he had dodged, the door was pushed open, and two men entered, one in the fine silk of ice blue, and the other was the short, fat man with a meaty face.

The short and fat man coughed lowly, opened the wooden box with a dark smile, and said, "Father-in-law Liu, look! This is the treasure that General Wang sent to the palace." ”

As soon as the wooden box was opened, what was shown in front of her was a girl who was like a flower and jade, only to see her red clothes and body, and under her slender jade neck, a piece of crisp-breasts like clotted white jade, half-covered and half-hidden, which made people fascinated.

"Yes, yes, it's really a unique natural stunner in the world, it looks so moving, it makes people can't give up, I just don't know what the temper is?"
