083 True Dragon Angry Search Forbidden Garden

How big was the imperial palace in the Northern Song Dynasty?

It has a circumference of 4,280 meters, a length of about 818 meters from east to west, and a length of about 1,322 meters from north to south, with a total area of 1.08 million square meters.

In this way, maybe you don't have any idea yet. Then compare it and you'll know how big it is.

You must have been to the Forbidden City in Beijing. It is currently the best-preserved and largest royal palace in the world. After a day of playing, I was so tired that I wanted to live and die, and I hadn't finished turning yet.

In fact, the Forbidden City in Beijing (that is, the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties) is not as large as the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a circumference of 3,440 meters, an east-west length of 760 meters, and a north-south length of 960 meters, with a total area of 720,000 square meters.

In other words: the Forbidden City in Beijing is less than seven-tenths the size of the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace.

Whether the imperial palaces in China are larger or smaller, they all "look" about the same. It is nothing more than a wall, a door, a hall, a palace, and a large garden. After seeing the Forbidden City in Beijing, imagine other palaces.

The imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty has four gates, the south one is called Xuande Gate, the north one is called Gonghuan Gate, the east one is called Donghua Gate, and the west one is called Xihua Gate. To the north there is a large garden, which occupies almost a tenth of the palace and has 100,000 square meters, which is quite a garden.

Xiaoque is very familiar with the palace, and knows kung fu, so he ran all the way to the vicinity of Gonghuan Gate, ready to leave the palace. Seeing that the precautions inside are tight, the door is closed, and it is impossible to get out. Although the Gonghuan Gate is the north gate, it is not in the middle, but is biased to the east. Seeing that he couldn't get out of the palace, the little bird turned back again, and came to the Yingyang Gate again in a chaotic manner, and the door was also locked and guarded. The wall here is relatively low, climb the wall and jump off, this is the back garden of the palace. Everywhere, the buildings, pavilions, trees, flowers and plants were hidden, and the heart settled down a little.

As soon as the emperor gave an order, the Praetorian Guards did not dare to slack off and began a comprehensive search. At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guard was called Tong Rui, who was Tong Guan's nephew. In all fairness, Tong Rui is much more virtuous than his uncle, honest and honest, and especially loyal to the emperor. Although the emperor ordered that any place could be searched, he did not dare to fake the fox and investigate indiscriminately. For example, the queen, the concubine, the virtuous concubine, the prince, etc., he tried not to disturb.

Tong Rui thought: A little girl dares to attack the emperor's favored Concubine Wude, she must be instructed by someone. Will she run to the Messenger and hide? It's unlikely, no one has the courage to hide her. She must have been a dead end when she ran back. Will she kill herself? People are life-sparing, unless it is a last resort, and light-heartedness will not find short-sightedness. She should also be in the palace, and the most likely place to hide is the back garden.

Tong Rui led people and quietly came to the back garden. There are two gates leading to the back garden, one is the Yingyang Gate, which is the south gate; The other is the Linhua Gate, which is the East Gate. The two doors are not too far away, and the little bird jumped in from near the Yingyang Gate.

The Linhua door on the east side was knocked open, and there were only two eunuchs on duty inside, sleeping in a daze, and they didn't know what to ask. When he came to the vicinity of Yingyang Gate, Tong Rui found that a creeper had been caught from top to bottom, which made him even more determined that the little bird had fled here.

At this moment, the little finch is hiding in a chrysanthemum bush in the northwest corner. She wanted to climb over the palace wall, but it was too high, and she tried twice without success, so she wanted to wait until dawn and then mix it out of the back garden. The door of Linhua was opened, a lantern was lit, and her heart rose to her throat. In my heart, I chanted the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and when the danger is over, I must kill a big fat pig to make a wish. However, Guanyin only knew Sanskrit, and Chinese was too difficult to learn, so she didn't understand what she meant.

Tong Rui divided the people into multiple groups, and the carpet was like a search, from west to east, and pressed towards the little bird step by step. The order must be to capture people alive, so that the culprit behind the scenes can be tried and all can be caught in one net.

The little finch was a little desperate, the bright lanterns, the black and oppressive figures, it was more difficult to escape than to climb to the sky. She wanted to rush out of the chrysanthemum bushes, but a fish would die and the net would break, and if she couldn't escape, she would bite her tongue and kill herself.

Someone grabbed her wrist, and she turned her head and asked, "Who?!" "I couldn't see each other clearly in the dark, but I could tell that the man was dressed in black and wearing a black mask.

"Don't make a sound, listen to me." The man in black had a low voice, and his words were full of murderous energy, "Your mission has been well accomplished, and the Lord has sent me to save you." There are seven watering wells here, which are arranged according to the seven stars of the Big Dipper. They are the Seven Eyes of Shaking Light, Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianji, Tianxuan, and Tianshu. The shaking well in the northwest direction, there is a secret passage in it, and we quietly go over. From this well, it is possible to go out of the palace. Then, I will send you to the Cloud Sky Temple and hide for a while. When the wind passes, you can go back to the palace, or you can go where you want to go. ”

"So, what about my uncle?" The little finch couldn't help but ask.

"After the news is over, he will be released from prison and can be reinstated."

The little finch nodded in the dark, he didn't expect his master to be so kind to him, and he felt that the risk was worth it.

The man in black walked forward with his waist bent, and the little finch cat followed behind, and soon came to the watering well of the heavenly pivot. There are trees on three sides, and the Praetorian Guards can't see it for the time being.

"Go down the well rope, and if you plunge down, you can find the exit outside." The man in black still whispered.

"The well water is so deep!" Look inside through the starlight sparrow.

"It looks deep, but it's not deep."

"I don't dare, it's better for you to go first."

"Trouble!"

The man in black did not hesitate, grabbed the well rope and slid down for several meters. Xiaoque kept an eye on it, afraid that there would be no secret passage inside, and he would go down to the other party and fall into the well, killing people and destroying his mouth. Seeing that the man in black went down, he was relieved, and grabbed the rope and slid down.

The man in black slipped to the surface of the water, grabbed one of the little finch's feet with a stretch of his hand, and with a little force, she fell. He grabbed the well rope with one hand and her hair with the other, and pressed it into the water. Xiaoque struggled desperately, but her little kung fu, compared to the man in black, was really a drop in the bucket. In a short time, the little finch was drowned. The man in black borrowed the well rope and walked out of the well in only two clicks. Lift a stone and throw it into the well. There was a thud and it went far in the night.

"Someone threw themselves into the well!" One of the guards shouted. The Praetorian Guards rushed in this direction at once.

The man in black walked along the corner of the palace wall, using his hands and feet together, like a gecko, and climbed up the wall in a short time. Rolled over the wall, jumped lightly, fell to the ground, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Tong Rui and the others were attracted by the sound of falling wells, and did not notice the man in black. Before coming to the mouth of the well, there were several lanterns shining on it, and I saw something in the well. Tong Rui ordered a few people to go down, and soon fished up Xiaoque's body. Only then did I notice that it was not an ordinary stone thrown into the well, but a piece of white marble around the edge of the well.

Tong Rui broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did it conclude that Xiaoque did not commit suicide by jumping into the well, but that someone killed her first, forcibly removed a piece of white marble, and threw it into the water. This person is definitely a top master, and his martial arts are very good.
