Chapter 3 Breaking into the palace by mistake

After a few chases, Luo Xiaotian took the girl in white and hid in a luxurious high-walled courtyard outside the city along a big tree, and finally got rid of everyone in the gambling house.

As soon as she was out of danger, the girl in white asked, "Hey! I ask you, these people are obviously bullying people, why do you succumb to them and give them my money? Hum! ”

"Little girl, you speak lightly. That fat man is the rich gentry in this city, and Lingyang City has his business and people everywhere. Besides, you can't have this money, this is ill-gotten gains, a girl's family, loves money like life, and wanders into the gambling house? Luo Xiaotian felt that the girl in front of him was rude and willful, and she was not grateful for saving her, and she didn't make sense at all, she should discipline and discipline her.

"What kind of ill-gotten gains, you still steal other people's money shops, for me, if you don't steal or rob, you have a way to get it, and it's not your turn to teach me here. There are many villains in this world, you are a disciple of Tianqi Peak, you don't want to do chivalrous justice, but you want to bully me here, a little girl? The girl in white was really still sharp-toothed, and Luo Xiaotian didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You're still going to take care of your chicks, lest I'm not here for a while, and those guys will catch you for dinner, haha!" Luo Xiaotian thought about it, angry at this brutal yellow-haired girl, and killed her majesty. "Also, I didn't steal other people's money shops, but I can't prove that the deposit ticket in my hand is my own, that is, I can't prove that my mother is my mother, and what happened in the money store is a misunderstanding."

"Xiao Ding!" The girl in white shouted.

It turned out that Xiao Tu came out of his shoulder pocket, and saw him jump on the fence of the courtyard garden. Suddenly, they jumped to the other end of the courtyard, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The girl in white saw that her pet had run away, and chased after her in a hurry, Luo Xiaotian shook her head and reluctantly followed.

The two of them walked through a circular arch in the courtyard, followed the stone path in the middle, and looked around the garden for Xiao Xiao's figure.

This courtyard is very chic. There are flowers and grasses, mountains and trees, small bridges and flowing water, a pool of lotuses, pavilions and pavilions, and insects and birds, as if in a picture.

"Who? Dare to trespass into the Bei'an Palace! "At the main entrance of the inner garden terrace, there stood an old man who was not tall, but his voice was very loud, like a family member. He was obviously angry, and his two mustaches shook up and down as his mouth opened and closed, looking very funny. Seeing the two of them face each other, they were sure to be strangers who broke into the palace, and shouted: "Come on!" Catch the thief! ”

Luo Xiaotian was called a thief twice in one day, and he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. The girl in white knew how to adapt at this time, and ran out as soon as she was smart, shouting to Luo Xiaotian: "Run!" ”

Luo Xiaotian was very surprised by the knee-jerk reaction of the girl in white, she wouldn't really be a thief. Isn't it just to avoid those gambling house hooligans who broke in by mistake, and it would be good to explain to others that it is not okay, so as not to repeat the misunderstanding in the bank.

"Where can you run? Sister, we can't fly. Luo Xiaotian stopped the girl in white who was running out of the garden, and grabbed her long white dress. The girl in white suddenly felt embarrassed, and secretly scolded Luo Xiaotian in her heart. With a snort, she turned around and returned to Luo Xiaotian's side.

It didn't take long for a large wave to pour in at the main gate of the inner courtyard, uniformly dressed in black brocade robes and well-dressed guards with knives. Holding a glittering Yanling knife in his hand, all of them are strong and strong, and their skills are extraordinary. A set of flowing movements surrounded Luo Xiaotian and the two.

"Keep an eye on people, and wait for me to report to the prince." The eight-character Hu Jiading, who spoke, should be the housekeeper of the palace with this momentum, and he was eager to ask for merit and reward immediately.

Luo Xiaotian wanted to explain, but when he saw the housekeeper stepping on small steps, he rushed into the inner court and gave up. I thought, let's talk about it when we meet the master, it's because we accidentally entered and disturbed others, and we were treated as thieves.

After a long time, the housekeeper returned to the garden and ordered the guards to escort Luo Xiaotian and the others to the main hall. The two had to obediently follow.

When they arrived at the main hall, the two were amazed by the magnificent room.

I saw that this main hall was spacious and bright, carved beams and jade buildings. From the furniture basin to the placement of porcelain calligraphy and paintings, they all highlight the owner of the prince's mansion, the elegant aristocratic status. At this time, at the plaque in the middle of the main hall, a familiar pattern caught Luo Xiaotian's attention, wasn't it the pattern on the stone pillar in the center of the Apocalypse Peak Square? A circular symbol with a triangle embedded in it. I asked Master back then, although this symbol is not the exclusive symbol of the Apocalypse Palace, it is not everywhere, how can there be an identical one here?

The seats above the main hall were empty, and the master had not yet arrived, but the butler had already bowed down respectfully and waited.

After a while, from the back of the main hall, at the side door cut off by the screen, a tall and straight middle-aged man walked out with a steady gait, with a peaceful but majestic face. Although the man is middle-aged and has thick hair, his eyes are still bright, and the whole person exudes a kingly spirit. When he was young, he was also a beautiful man.

The middle-aged man walked over to the empty chair above the main hall and sat down.

The housekeeper ordered the maid to bring pastries and tea. After everything was ready, he began to point to Luo Xiaotian and the two who were brought in by the internal guards behind him and said: "Lord Wang, these two are the thieves captured by the old servant in the inner garden, and I don't know what the purpose of their coming to the mansion is, should they be tortured." The old servant was afraid that these thieves would hurt the prince. ”

The prince in the housekeeper's mouth is the younger brother of the emperor of the dynasty - Zhao Kangyi, the king of Bei'an. At that time, it was he who led the northern army to recover all the territory of the northern frontier of Nanyu State, including the Iron Furnace Holy Mountain, and since then the emperor named him the king of Bei'an, which means that the northern Xinjiang is stable.

However, the good times were short-lived. Twenty years ago, it was also because of him that he was in the battle against the defense of the Holy Mountain of the Northern Patriotic Kingdom. Due to the mistake of retreat, 300,000 children of the northern army died at the foot of the holy mountain.

After returning to the court, he was embarrassed by self-blame. I felt ashamed of the 300,000 dead Northern Frontier Army and the emperor. Ignoring the opposition of the civil and military officials, he resigned from the position of marshal and returned the military power to the emperor. But he took his family and retired to the courtyard of this mansion in Lingyang City.

The king of Bei'an sat precariously and didn't pay much attention to the butler's words.

Carefully looking at the two young people in front of him, he smiled and said, "I have never seen a thief dressed like this." Tell me why you are visiting the king's house. It doesn't look like you're begging for money, and you don't have the ability to take the king's life. ”

"The prince is serious. We are not thieves, nor are we assassins who have come to harass the prince. It's a long story, this girl and I just met a gangster on the middle road of the city, and we were chased and entangled all the way. In order to avoid the murderers, we inadvertently broke into the prince's mansion. I wanted to escape the danger, but I was blocked by this high wall in the garden. happened to be discovered by this old man, who mistakenly thought that we were thieves. Xiaosheng disturbed the purity of the prince, and I hope the prince will forgive me. Luo Xiao bowed down and sincerely stated the ins and outs of the matter.

King Bei'an saw that Luo Xiaotian respected the elder and was polite, and he didn't look like a thief, so he couldn't help but look at him carefully.

"That's right, Brother Xiaotian is exactly what he said. We weren't going to come in, and if it weren't for the big tree outside your yard, we wouldn't have come into your house easily. The girl in white spoke in an arrogant tone, still with the same expression that was not convinced when she saw anyone. His eyes widened, he glanced at the housekeeper next to him, and snorted coldly.

The branches and leaves of the big tree outside the wall had reached into the courtyard, and no one had pruned them, and they would not have been able to enter if it had not been for the housekeeper's poor care. Now, on the contrary, he put this responsibility on the housekeeper, so angry that the housekeeper dared not speak, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"As if someone wants to come in, trapped in this high-walled courtyard, they have to suffocate me from my illness." The girl in white muttered, counting the boredom of living in the palace.

The housekeeper was already sulking, and when he saw that the girl was rude, he immediately shouted: "Presumptuous! ”

At this time, even Luo Xiaotian felt embarrassed and embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to stuff her into the middle of the crack immediately. I thought, are you here to help?

Unexpectedly, the king of Bei'an was amused by her. Instantly, I felt that these two children were very interesting.

"Who are your children, who is the elder brother and who is the younger sister? What is your name? King Bei'an's words were cordial, and no one chatted for a long time, and his interest was suddenly brought up by these two children.

"Lord Wang, in fact, we just met, not brothers and sisters. My name is Luo Xiaotian, a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable Daoist of Tianqi Peak" Luo Xiaotian reported to his home, but he didn't know what the name of the girl in white next to him was, so he glanced at her. The girl in white also understood what he meant, and replied in a compromise: "My name is Chen An'an, there is no door and no faction, and the whole world is my home." ”

"It turns out that you are a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable Daoist, and I am an old friend of him, in fact, it stands to reason that you should call me uncle, hahahaha! This girl is your friend again, and it seems that there is indeed a misunderstanding. King Bei'an laughed happily and motioned for all the guards to retreat.

A few people became acquainted with each other in just a few words, as if they had known each other for a long time. The remaining housekeeper bowed his head in a muffled voice, obviously catching a thief, but now it seems that he has done something wrong.

"But then again, you two trespassed on my mansion after all. Originally, at least one board to another. However, looking at the two of you, it will be very pleasing to people. Stay today, accompany this king to drink a few cups, when you pay this king, what do you two think? ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang. Although Xiaosheng is not strong enough to drink, he is also willing to have a drink with the prince. It was the fault of the little student first, but the prince was magnanimous and did not care about the mistakes of the younger generations, but let the prince bother. ”

"I haven't found it yet, you have to return it to me." Chen An'an suddenly thought that Xiao Ji had just jumped into the garden on the other side, and he hadn't seen him yet, and he began to worry. "Hey, Luo Xiaotian, are you only thinking about drinking?"

King Bei'an was confused when he heard it, what a chicken and a duck, he didn't understand.

"Lord, one of my friend's pets got lost in the palace garden, I'm really sorry, can we go to the garden to find it."

Only then did the prince understand that Xiao Ji was a pet, nodded and agreed to the two of them, and called out the housekeeper.

"Arrange someone to help Miss An An find the chick, so that she can take care of it, but there can't be any mistakes."

The butler respectfully agreed, took the order, and retreated, but it was a mist - what chicken? What does it look like?

"Lord, then we will also retreat first. I'm afraid that Miss An'an's pet will be recognized, and strangers will not be able to approach, so we will also go over to look for it. ”

"If you go, I will order the guards, and the courtyard in this mansion will allow you two to come and go as you like. When the food and wine are ready, I will ask someone to invite the two of you over, and this wine will not go unpunished. Hahahaha......"

"Thank you, Lord Wang! Xiaosheng retired first. Luo Xiaotian responded. Then he withdrew from the main hall with Chen An'an.

Luo Xiaotian's worried heart finally let go, he didn't expect to encounter so many things in one day. finally found his mother's relics, but was misunderstood in the money bank; mistakenly helped Chen An'an, who bumped into him halfway, and was chased by a group of people and had nowhere to hide; Then he broke into the palace by mistake, fortunately, the king of Bei'an is his master's old friend, otherwise it would be really unlucky today.

Luo Xiaotian and the two returned to the inner garden where the incident had just happened, and looked for Xiao Xiao in all corners of the garden, and the maids who helped together also ran in the corridors connecting the courtyards and terraces everywhere.

Chen Anan didn't understand why the usually well-behaved little guy would run away, this kind of thing has never happened, unless it is ......

The Bei'an Mansion is too big, and the two have rummaged through several places, but still haven't found anything.

They checked the houses of the palace and had arrived at a garden that had been abandoned for a long time, and just as the two were about to give up, there was a faint sound of chirping in the garden.

"It's Xiao Ding!" Chen Anan danced excitedly, got carried away for a while, and hugged Luo Xiaotian's arm.

Only Chen Anan knew that this was Xiao Ji's voice, so she began to shout Xiao Ji non-stop, Xiao Ji......

Xiao Xiao heard the call of his master and chirped in response. The two of them followed the direction from which the sound came, but the weeds were overgrown, and some were taller than people, blocking the view. Obviously, when I heard the voice, it was nearby, but I couldn't see Xiao Xiao's figure.

The further you went, the path in the garden was gone, and there was only a large patch of weeds and dead branches taller than a man. It seems that this garden has been abandoned for many years, and it is no wonder that the maidservants have not come here to look for it. Listening to Xiao Xiao's voice, Chen Anan was a little anxious. I didn't care that my skirt was hung up again and again, so I pushed aside the weeds and continued to walk deeper into the garden.

The chirp's cry was getting closer. Just when Luo Xiaotian thought that they would be able to see Xiao Ji soon. One was not paying attention, and the soles of their feet suddenly stepped into the air, and they didn't have time to react, and both of them stumbled and fell into a hole covered with thick weeds.
