Zhao Kai has the dictate of Emperor Zhao Ji, so naturally there is nothing to be afraid of.

Zhao Kai knew that this might be the last chance, so he ran straight towards the Calyx Green Hall without stopping, and saw the carriage parked in front of the east painting in the middle of the hill from a distance, and a person rode a horse first.

Zhao Kai first asked Chasing Yue at the door who was in the carriage, and Chasing Moon only said that there was no one in the carriage. Zhao Kai walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain, the carriage was empty, and there was nothing.

Zhao Kai naturally didn't give up, and no longer asked Chasing the Moon, so he turned around and walked towards the painting room, and asked loudly as he walked, "Eighth sister, what are you doing here?" "He was born like this, firstly, to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, so that Maude and the man panicked, and it was easier for him to catch the horse's feet; Second, he asked when he was outside, and he seemed to be above board.

When Zhao Kai was secretly proud, he saw Mao De walking out of the east studio, and he couldn't see anything unusual on his face, and said to him, "Third brother is good." Your subordinates won't let me leave the palace, so I naturally want to come to my father to ask for a token, so that I can go to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for my mother's blessing. ”

"Father is here?" Zhao Kaipi asked with a smile.

"If my father was here, I would have taken the token and left the palace. Now you have come just in time, and come with me to see my father and ask my father, how can there be a reason in the world that children are not allowed to pray for their fathers and mothers?! Zhao Fujin was unforgiving, and shouted that he wanted to go to see Zhao Ji with Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai is now only thinking about how to catch the person who broke into the palace, where is he willing to fight with Zhao Fujin in front of Zhao Ji? Busy with a smile said, "It's not that those people under him can't do things, which makes the eighth sister angry." It's a big thing to pray for the mother, why don't I send a capable person to send the eighth sister out of the palace, how about it? It also saves the eighth sister from going to her father and delaying the time. ”

Zhao Fujin has already sent Zhou Nan into the tunnel, naturally he has nothing to do, if he really goes to see his father, Zhao Fujin is a little weak-hearted. Then he pushed the boat and said, "Well, I can't meet those officers in the end." The third brother should also take care of it after he goes back, if he follows the order of the third brother next time, but stops his father's driver, it will not be good. ”

Zhao Kai was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Eighth sister said again, it's not early, let's go to Daxiangguo Temple quickly." As he spoke, he accompanied Zhao Fujin to the outside of the painting and said to the priest who was waiting on the side, "You go to the front to lead the way, and send the emperor out of the palace, if there is a mistake, be careful of your head." ”

The chief officer naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Kai's words, and hurriedly bowed down, and said respectfully to Zhao Fujin, "Please get in the car, and the villain will lead the way for the emperor." ”

Zhao Fujin was not polite, he got into the carriage with Chasing Yue, and under the leadership of the magistrate, Liu Si'er drove the car and went outside the palace.

Seeing Zhao Fujin's carriage walking away, Zhao Kai said to the soldiers beside him, "I have searched all the surrounding fifty zhang, and I can't let go of one place!" ”

The soldiers said yes, scattered, and searched everywhere. Zhao Kai himself entered the painting studio, first went to the west studio to have a look, and then came to the east studio, which was also empty. Zhao Kai stood indoors with a suspicious face, but he couldn't see anything strange.

Zhou Nan didn't dare to move in the secret passage below, he didn't know if there was a mechanism in the secret passage, if he triggered the mechanism and made a sound, it would inevitably attract the attention of the people above. Because Zhou Nan heard the conversation between Zhao Fujin and Zhao Kai clearly in the secret passage.

waited until Zhao Kai sent Zhao Fujin away, searched but didn't find the secret passage, and left with his subordinates, Zhou Nan slowly stood up, holding the "Qingming Riverside Map" under his arm, and slowly walked towards another exit.

Fortunately, after walking a short distance, there was a light on the wall of the secret passage, and I was not afraid of the darkness in the secret passage. Looking at this secret passage, it seems to lead straight to somewhere outside the palace. Zhou Nan walked straight for more than 100 steps, and then he encountered a bend, followed by an upward step, similar to the entrance of the secret passage under the painting.

Zhou Nan cautiously came to the steps, it seemed that there was no stone slab above his head, but a wall in front of him, Zhou Nan pushed it with his hand, the wall was actually separated from the middle, and a door made of a wall opened silently.

Zhou Nan looked out and saw that there was a room outside the door, Zhou Nan walked out of the secret door, only to find that the opening here was in a secret room.

Zhou Nan came out of the secret room gently, only to hear a man talking in the courtyard outside, "I went to the street to find Wang Jiu'er, received this month's food money, bought some cooking cakes and vegetables, and came back to cook." Another woman's voice said, "But you have to come back sooner, my eyes are useless, and I only said that the two of you will guard the door for others, and the thieves in the house will not know about it." "It turned out to be two people guarding the door.

The man who could hear Zhou Nan went out, and knew that the remaining women couldn't see clearly, so he hurriedly came out of the room and walked lightly towards the door. The woman's eyes were not clear, but her ears were sharp, and when she heard someone walking, she hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Zhou Nan didn't answer either, and hurriedly walked out.

When Zhou Nan left, he took a look, where the exit of this secret passage was located, and it was a mansion of Zhang Jiayuanzi. Out of this homeland, there is a north-south street, which is more lively than the small goods shop street that Zhou Nan walked when he went to the Shangqing Palace, and there are some crude medicine shops on both sides of the street.

Zhou Nan knew that it was still in the northeast corner of the palace, so he went south along the street, and when he came to Panjialou and Jiang Xing, he knew that this street was on the east side of the small goods street. Coming here, Zhou Nan naturally knew the path, and he didn't take the Zhou Bridge area, but went straight to the south, arrived at Dalushi Lane, turned his head to the west, and returned all the way back to Duting Yi.

Only then did Zhou Nan put his heart down, and Li Feixing and his guards were very happy to see Zhou Nan come back. Zhou Nan hurriedly asked, "Has Xiao Jiu ever been back?" ”

Li Feixing replied, "Master of the village, Xiao Jiufang has just come back, took the back box and left in a hurry, but now I don't know where it is." ”

"Haven't come back yet?" Zhou Nan asked.

"Exactly, you said you were in a hurry to use the back box, so you left." Li Feixing said, "Xiao Jiu'er doesn't have to worry, it's just that someone inside has been waiting for the master of the village in the morning." ”

"Who's waiting for me?" Zhou Nan asked strangely.

"A Taoist priest, and a Taoist boy." Li Feixing replied.

Taoist? Zhou Nan suddenly understood, and ran into the small courtyard where he lived. Sure enough, Lin Lingsu was sitting in the hall, and there was a little Taoist boy next to him, the little Taoist priest who took him upstairs to see Lin Lingsu the night before.

"I was looking for you, but you sent it yourself!" Zhou Nan shouted angrily.

"Looking for me? It's also true, I gave you a good deed, and you really should thank me. Lin Lingsu said with a smile.

"Good things? You old way, Maude almost killed me, connived at her not to kill me, and sent it to those guards, and I won't be able to go back! Zhou Nan said loudly.

"When Emperor Maud saw you, did she say anything of affection?" Lin Lingsu leaned forward and asked with a salivating face.

"Got it!" Zhou Nan gritted his teeth and said.

"How so?" Lin Lingsu asked curiously.

"I'm going to kill you!" Zhou Nan shouted loudly, rushed to Lin Lingsu's side, and reached out to pinch Lin Lingsu's neck.
