Chapter 173: Leaving the Palace
Before noon, Qin Changhuan left Fengyi Palace.
Qiancheng Jue with carriages and horses also appeared at the gate of Fengyi Palace in advance.
Qin Changhuan boarded the sedan chair, inadvertently glanced around, and saw Tang Ruoxu in the distance.
obviously said that he would not come to send him off, but he still couldn't help it.
Qiancheng Jue also saw it, but he turned his face away, just as if he didn't see it.
Qin Changhuan raised his arm and waved at him, revealing a smile that could not be brightest.
The sun was blazing at noon, her face was very warm, and the next moment, she hurried into the carriage.
I don't know if it's hiding from the hot sun, or to hide from Tang Ruoxu's face.
She doesn't like to part, and she doesn't like to see each other's backs, so she would rather be the one who is ruthless.
Feeling the carriage trembling slightly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and sitting in the empty carriage, the reluctance in my heart gradually spread.
In this life, how many passers-by should I go through?
"We can come back at any time if you want." A thousand cities are unique.
Jing Feng looked at him with some concern, although he knew that he had always done things in a measured manner, but he would occasionally wonder if there would be a day when he would be out of proportion because of Qin Changhuan.
The word love is always harmful. He felt so.
Through the car curtain, the clear voice was a little muffled, but I could still hear the concern and doting.
With him by his side, Qin Changhuan can always feel at ease.
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
If there is no one around, she should say 'thank you, brother'.
Close your eyes and concentrate for a moment, lift the curtain again, outside the window is already another scene, outside the palace gate, the peach blossoms have already fallen all over the ground, and there is not much left on the branches.
On the low bushes on both sides, the peony showed its buds, counting the days, it is also the season to bloom.
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt.
Qin Changhuan leaned forward, his hand held on to the side wall in time, and his left hand leaned forward, wanting to lift the curtain to take a look, but the curtain was opened first, and Qiancheng's grim face came into view.
The next moment she was stunned, she had met a pair of peach blossom eyes with a smile and affection.
The phoenix's eyes were slightly raised, and when he looked at him, layers of warmth rose in his heart.
She looked out, curious and puzzled, "Lord Wang, why did you come in?" ”
She was a little apprehensive at first, but soon realized that Senior Brother was not the kind of person who was willful and messing around, and since he had made a choice, he must have his intentions.
Qiancheng smiled, and his eyebrows and eyes showed tenderness.
"Don't worry, the rest are your own people."
He must have his own henchmen, Jing Feng is guarding by the car at the moment.
When he said this, Qin Changhuan was also relieved, but she bit her lip, her willow eyebrows were bent, as if she was frowning, her eyes caught a look at Qiancheng, and she quickly moved away, wanting to speak again.
When did she become so shy and cute.
The two were very close, and because of the sudden bump in the carriage, Qin Changhuan leaned over, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to help, easily grabbed her arm, and fixed her in position.
It's just that in this way, there is only a short distance between the two.
Breathing close to his ear, Qin Changhuan lowered his head slightly, bit his lips tightly, his hands clenched into fists, and his body didn't dare to move.
She felt that her face was burning as if it was about to explode.
Qiancheng Jue swept the shyness on her face and the red clouds under her ears, suppressed the churning in her heart, stretched out her hand, just rubbed her head, turned around and commanded outward, "Be steady." Then he let her go.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
After changing the topic, Qin Changhuan also relaxed a lot, and quickly nodded back to his senses.
"Senior brother, I want you to take me somewhere."
Her gaze gradually settled, and her phoenix eyes rarely showed a trace of innocence and well-behavedness.
Only in front of him can he show his emotions so unreservedly, without the slightest need to hide.
The carriage changed its direction, and after a short time, it stopped in front of a magnificent two-story house, but it was as if something was not quite right.
Qiancheng got out of the car first, handed her forearm, and Qin Changhuan naturally jumped out of the carriage.
After looking around, I saw something.
"Here, could it be the back door of the Spring Willow Pavilion?"
Looking at her slightly surprised eyes, Qiancheng Jue was still smiling like a gentle spring breeze.
"Yes, this is the largest intelligence site I have planted in Ember, if you want to know anything, just let me in."
As he spoke, he walked inside.
Although Qin Changhuan seemed to believe it or not, he had to follow closely and entered the back door of the Spring Willow Pavilion.
This Spring Willow Pavilion, as its name suggests, is a green building.
Because it is open under the roots of the imperial city, business is naturally booming, and many high-ranking officials and nobles often come.
I just followed the steps of Qianchengjue and entered the back door of the Chunliu Pavilion, but I didn't feel the atmosphere of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion at all, and I only vaguely heard that on the other side of the corridor, there was a group of singing and dancing.
Press a mechanism and a wall will open.
I walked through a long corridor, turned the courtyard, and entered another world.
It is a clean yard, although it is smaller, but it is also elegant and chic, the courtyard is a pool, and there are flower beds and shrubs around it.
If you take advantage of the sunny weather to play chess with people in this courtyard and chat about the past and the present, it is also interesting.
Qiancheng Jue led her to an open door, stopped, and motioned for her to go in and see.
With curiosity, Qin Changhuan walked and crossed the threshold, looking like a study school in front of him, with many low tables and cushions, and a huge bookshelf, and a row of people standing on the side, all wearing white robes, with their hair tied up solemnly, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Qin Changhuan glanced around, still full of doubts, so he had to look at the Thousand Cities.
"These are all the closed disciples of the master and his old man, and you are still their senior sister."
Qiancheng Jue stepped forward with a smile, and seeing that she was still a little troubled, he said again.
"Two years ago, I placed them here, firstly, to have a place to live, and secondly, to facilitate the collection of all kinds of information about Dongshen."
As soon as he raised his hand, one of them stepped forward and waved towards Qin Changhuan.
"Senior sister, my name is Chafeng, I'll take you somewhere."
Qin Changhuan looked back at Qianchengjue, as if before going out to play with someone, please ask his parents for a well-behaved child.
Qiancheng Jue smiled warmly and bowed slightly.
Following the wind to the deeper part of the courtyard, Qin Changhuan watched him press one mechanism after another, walk through one door after another, and finally arrive in a secret room.
But as soon as she stepped into the secret room, she was completely shocked by the scene in front of her.
Huge iron chains hung down from the top of the chamber, like a huge net, connected to the perimeter of the chamber, and in the middle, there was a cold iron frame, as if it was the connection point of a dozen iron chains.
Chasing the wind said, "Whose information does Senior Sister want?" ”
He is handsome, he looks quite young, but he is very sophisticated in his gestures, and it is impossible to tell how old he is for a while.
Qin Changhuan thought for a while, and said the four words Empress Dongyan.
I saw that Chafeng walked to the side, and his fingers were gently pulled down at the end of the chain, and soon, there was a sound of rustling from the top of the secret room, followed by the sound of bamboo slips touching the chain, but in a moment, the bamboo slip slid down, Chafeng stepped forward and took it easily, and handed it to Qin Changhuan.
Qin Changhuan looked at the inscription on it, a little familiar.
It seems to be a kind of writing created by the master in the past.
Turning it over, it records some news about Queen Dongyan, starting from more than ten years ago, when she married into the Ember Palace.
"This, can I take it?"
She asked softly, looking up.
Chafeng nodded, "Yes, but, except for you and Senior Brother, you must not let anyone else see it, and you must return it within two days, otherwise this bamboo slip will be automatically destroyed." ”
Qin Changhuan looked at the ordinary bamboo slip in his hand, and didn't feel anything special.
But since there was so much information here, she wanted to ask more.
"Chasing the wind, have you seen the Cross Assassin?"
I thought that there would be no gain, but in the next moment, he turned around and walked somewhere, took a token in his hand, and handed it to Qin Changhuan.
"This is what we found out by accident, we once sent someone to pretend to be each other's appearance, draw a cross totem behind the ear, and try to break into the inside, but, it was soon discovered, fortunately, our people were clever and escaped, until now, we only know that they belong to the same organization, Xuanbing Pavilion."
"Xuanbing Pavilion?" Qin Changhuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out the sachet from his arms and handed it to Chafeng.
"This one I found on one of the Cross Assassins I caught earlier, and I've handed it over to you."
A few days ago, Tang Ruoxu asked him to go and see the captured Cross Assassin.
He didn't eat all day, and he was tortured countless times, no matter how much he was forced, he just didn't say anything.
After many tortures, Qin Changhuan could only take the sachet from the things he found.
He believed that the sachet would be useful.
Unfortunately, that night, the water cell where he was being held was broken into, the Cross Assassin was killed, and no further clues were found at the scene.
That's where the headache lies.
Coming out of the secret room, Qin Changhuan hid the bamboo slip in his sleeve, and this harvest was not small.
"Senior sister, will you stay here for a long time?"
Chasing the wind suddenly spoke, as if he had changed a person, different from the previous sophisticated, his face was a little more childish.
"I don't know."
Qin Changhuan shook his head.
Qianchengjue, as an envoy of Beiyan, will have to leave after staying for seven or eight days at most, and she will leave with her then.
"What? Are you reluctant? ”
She smiled, and there was more love and pity in her phoenix eyes.
Since she is a fellow disciple, she naturally cares.
And he looked at it like this, as if he was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Zhufeng nodded seriously, "Senior Brother Zhan can't come once a year, and this time it was thanks to him that he was able to come and meet us, and we all miss him." ”
With that, he lowered his head, as if he didn't want to guess his emotions.
It seems that they have a deep relationship with their senior brother, and they don't know how the master and his old man are doing now, and they always hear that he went out to travel, but now they don't know where he is.
