Chapter 13
The carriage staggered all the way out of Pingkangfang and onto the avenue of Chang'an City, where there was a curfew, so there were almost no pedestrians or vehicles on the streets. According to the provisions of the "Tang Law", once the curfew moment is entered, it is absolutely forbidden to go out of the workshop between the workshops, but this carriage is unimpeded all the way, Li Tianran couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and secretly sighed in his heart, Sure enough, there is money that can make the ghost grind!
After walking for a while, the carriage had come to the gate of Chang'an City, Li Tianran immediately straightened up and held his breath, because he knew that the gate would not be said for the time being, but if the gate was closed, it would be a big deal, so he hurriedly cheered up in case of possible accidents. But how did he expect that the person driving the car didn't even say a word to the city gate order, only heard a loud "crunch", the city gate actually opened, and the carriage galloped past and left Chang'an City! Li Tianran shook his head again, and suddenly a strange thought sprouted in his heart: "Could this Ah Lang also have escaped from Chang'an City through this channel." But thinking of this, he himself felt a little funny, how could Ah Lang have a thousand taels of silver to do this? So he leaned back into the carriage and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
There was no word all the way, the carriage galloped quickly on the official road, and after an hour, the carriage suddenly stopped, only to hear the driver whispering to the car: "It's here, please get off the carriage three of you." ”
The three of them hurriedly got out of the car when they heard the sound, and after such a toss, the time had passed. Li Tianran looked up after getting out of the car, and couldn't help but be stunned, although it was the side door of Huaqing Palace in front of him, it was also magnificent and spectacular! At this time, it was already dark, but through the palace gate, you could still vaguely see the huge palace complexes! I heard that the Huaqing Palace is built on the mountain and scattered in the plate, and today I peeked at its corner, Li Tianran was already shocked by it, and was secretly speechless, and a eunuch came to him, he glanced at a few people, and immediately asked the person who was driving: "Which master will these new little eunuchs send to the palace today?" ”
The driver turned his head to look at Xiaoluo and said, "My father-in-law asked, but he didn't answer quickly." ”
Xiaoluo immediately stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Back to my father-in-law, the three of them were sent to Gao Lishi's father-in-law. ”
The person who came was stunned for a moment, and replied: "But I heard that this matter is good for the high prince to serve the saint in the soup fairly?" ”
Li Tianran was immediately stunned, and secretly calculated in his heart, it turned out that Gao Lishi was not killed today, he hurriedly handed Xiao Luo and Li Boyu a look, Xiao Luo understood, and hurriedly approached the eunuch closer, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed it, and then said slowly: "Annoying father-in-law, the three of them can wait outside the palace, and they will go back when they see Gao Gonggong." ”
The eunuch hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said with a pleasant face: "Since this is the case, the three of them will go with me." After saying that, he began to lead the way in front, Xiaoluo hurriedly glanced at the two, and the two hurriedly followed.
Li Tianran and the two nervously passed through the palace gate, and only when they arrived here did they see the appearance of Huaqing Palace, the palace was extremely magnificent, beyond his imagination, Li Tianran was a little distracted for a while, Xiaoluo hurriedly came over, pulled his clothes, and said: "Don't look blind, bow your head quickly, there are some rules in the palace!" ”
Li Tianran was told by her, and hurriedly lowered his head, and slowly walked in with his father-in-law who was leading the way in front of him, not daring to look around again. Li Tianran saw that the father-in-law who led the way was far away, and couldn't help but whisper: "It was a lot of silver taels just now, right?" I... I can't afford it. ”
Xiaoluo glanced at Li Tianran and did not answer. Li Tianran then asked in a low voice: "I don't understand, what is the origin of that person?" can actually have such a great ability, the palace is like his own home, he can enter if he wants, I'm afraid this can't rely on silver alone, right? ”
Hearing this, Xiaoluo hesitated, and immediately impatiently attached his face to Li Tianran's ear, and whispered: "I only said it once, you can hear clearly, that person has been Gao Lishi's friend in the palace since he was a child, and then Gao Lishi made a fortune, but he didn't care about promoting him, and there was a gap between the two, and then he simply started this kind of business in the palace, Gao Lishi felt ashamed, and had to open one eye and close one eye, the eunuchs in the palace knew the relationship between Gao Lishi and him, so they didn't dare to say more!" Now your curiosity is satisfied, right? ”
As soon as Xiao Luo's words fell, suddenly the eunuch in front of him reprimanded: "What are you muttering nonsense? I can tell you that this palace is big, hurry up and keep up, if you accidentally get lost, get into trouble and lose your head, it's no wonder that I can't blame! It turned out that while the two were talking, the eunuch had already walked out of a distance, and when he saw that the two were far away, he couldn't help but reprimand. The two were scolded, and they didn't dare to say more, so they hurriedly chased after them, and the eunuch snorted coldly angrily, and then turned his head and walked forward.
Xiao Luo whispered to Li Tianran: "You are blind and curious, you were scolded, didn't you?" Li Tianran shook his head and did not answer.
This Huaqing Palace is far bigger than the three of them imagined, and they haven't reached the ground for a long time, but these five steps and one palace, ten steps and one corridor, plus the sky is dark, this walking, Li Tianran can't clearly distinguish the direction, and he doesn't know where he went. Fortunately, the eunuch in front finally stopped, turned around and said softly: "It's here!" The saint and the high princess are inside! ”
Li Tianran glanced at the huge palace in front of him, and saw that the door of the palace was written: "Holy Tang Palace!" "The palace is unusually grand, and the sound of water is faintly heard all around, I don't know if it is my own dazzle, and there is a faint mist on all sides of the palace, like a fairyland.
Li Tianran asked in a low voice, "This is there?" ”
The eunuch turned his head and replied in a low voice, "It's here!" The three of you are waiting here carefully, maybe in an hour Grandpa Gao will come out! Remember! Don't run blindly, don't break the rules of the palace, otherwise... The eunuch made a gesture of raising and dropping his sword, and then turned and walked away, leaving only the three of them where they were.
Seeing the eunuch walking away, Li Boyu asked softly with a puzzled face: "He... So gone? Aren't you afraid of us ... What did you do out of the ordinary? ”
Xiaoluo replied: "This is the rule, he must leave!" The business in the palace is not visible, if he listens to it, whose responsibility is it if the business fails? Besides, who can spend a thousand taels to get here is not for money, and who will do anything out of the ordinary? If they think the business is dangerous, they won't do it! The old man in the coffin shop is the gatekeeper of this matter, do you think anyone who pays the money can come to this palace? ”
Li Tianran nodded, thinking that what Xiao Luo said made sense, and continued: "Then what should we do now? Could it be true, stupidly waiting for Colliers to come out here? When the time comes... What can you look for? ”
Xiaoluo smiled lightly and whispered: "Sure enough, it's a nerd!" As soon as the words fell, Xiaoluo immediately rushed out with an arrow step, and a few dodges had already jumped onto the palace corridor, the speed was strange, when she looked back, the two brothers were still in place, she whispered helplessly: "What are you waiting for?" ”
The two of them reacted at this time, and hurriedly ran in the direction of Xiaoluo, and after the three of them converged, they cautiously walked towards the palace, and a few guards stood at the palace gate, but when they saw that the three of them were wearing palace clothes, they didn't interrogate, and the three of them went straight into the Holy Tang Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, there was a burst of hot air in his face, and the sound of the water here was louder, but there was a strong aroma in the air, Li Tianran had never seen such a scene, and just wanted to ask, Xiaoluo said in advance: "There are a lot of soup pools distributed here, which is the place where the saint and the concubines lead the hot spring to bathe and soak in the hot spring, don't make a fuss!" ”
After listening to Xiaoluo, Li Tianran's words just came to his mouth and swallowed them back stiffly, only to hear Xiaoluo continue: "Hurry up, the saint must be in the highest soup pool!" The two brothers nodded when they heard this, and continued to set off after Xiao Luo.
The palace of bathing in the soup is scattered, the palace door is marked with its own name, from the name point of view, each soup pool should belong to each person, some are the concubine soup pool, some are the prince, the emperor's grandson's soup pool, and even the minister's soup pool, with the different levels of the bathing people, the size of the palace is also different. After walking for a while, Xiao Luo suddenly stopped, she looked up and signaled to the two, only to see that there was the largest soup pool palace not far away, impartially overriding the middle of this holy soup palace, Li Tianran knew in his heart that this must be a saint's soup pool hall!
But the soup pool in front of you is different from others, there are many guards standing majestically in front of the soup pool palace, there are about 100 people, it should be a saint among them, and ordinary people are never allowed to enter the temple. But the three of them took a closer look, except for the front gate, this palace seems to be built on all sides of the mountain cliffs, if it is not the main entrance, there should be no way to enter. Besides, if that Gaolishi is really in the temple at this moment, with his martial arts cultivation, if someone wants to sneak in, it must not be easy, and the slightest movement will definitely be detected by him.
The three of them were hesitating, and suddenly there were footsteps behind them, and the three of them looked back, and the people who came were two little eunuchs, each holding a wooden plate, and there were two sets of Taoist clothes neatly placed in the plate. ”
The two little fathers-in-law were stunned at first, they had never seen these three people, but when they heard him say this, they didn't dare to say much for a while, I am afraid that it is really the order of the saint, if it is rude and offended, it is not good. Although his face was a little embarrassed, he still promised: "That... There are three fathers-in-law of Lao, these two sets of Taoist clothes have been incense, and I hope to be transferred to the saints as soon as possible! ”
Seeing that the plan succeeded, Xiao Luo immediately smiled and responded: "Of course, there are two fathers-in-law!" ”
