Birds play hundreds of birds, and the phoenix makes Bitao.

When Qi Ning heard these two sentences for the first time, he heard them from Zhuo Xian'er's mouth, if this woman only said these two sentences, Qi Ning might not be sure that she was Zhuo Xian'er, after all, these two sentences were not created by Zhuo Xian'er, and Zhuo Xian'er was not the only one who knew it, and it was not uncommon to say these two sentences from other people's mouths.

Birds play a hundred birds, and the phoenix makes Bitao, these two sentences actually talk about two guqins.

According to Zhuo Xian'er, there are four guqins in the world, all of which are famous, but all music and rhythm experts, the four guqins are thunderous to them, but above the four guqins, there are two guqins, which are legendary artifacts, a bird language qin, and a phoenix qin.

At that time, when Xian'er said these two sentences, Qi Ning was very interested, that is, the tone and demeanor of Xian'er's speech, Qi Ning still remembered it.

And the woman in front of her, although her appearance is completely different from Zhuo Xian'er, but when she spit out these two sentences, her demeanor and tone are exactly the same as when Zhuo Xian'er said these two sentences, Qi Ning believes that it is possible for two people in the world to have exactly the same figure and even eyes, but even the tone of speech is exactly the same, it is really rare, seeing the other party's demeanor, Qi Ning immediately blurted out.

The woman was stunned for a moment, Qi Ning had already stood up, looking the woman up and down, the woman felt that Qi Ning's eyes seemed to be looking at a person who was not in a thread, and she was suddenly a little uncomfortable, frowning and said, "You .....!" But I didn't know what to say.

"Empty mountain birds, blue sea tide!" Qi Ning sighed: "Have you heard these two sentences? ”

The woman's delicate body was shocked, and she murmured: "The empty mountain bird language, the blue sea tide is ......!" She furrowed her eyebrows, as if trying to recall them in her mind, but soon she lifted her hand and pressed it to her temple, and her eyes were confused.

Qi Ning saw it in his eyes, sighed lightly, and said, "You said that you sneaked into the palace for a guqin, is that a bird language qin, or a phoenix qin?" ”

The woman hesitated for a moment before she said, "Whether it's bird language or phoenix, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that a guqin is of no use to you." ”

"It doesn't work for us, so what does it do to you?" Qi Ning asked, "Why do you have to get that guqin?" ”

The woman shook her head and said, "First, you said that you only asked me one question, and I didn't deceive, I already told you." Second, I don't know what the guqin is used for, I just want to take it away. Looking at Qi Ning's eyes, he asked, "Then can I leave now?" ”

Qi Ning groaned slightly, and then said: "Although you have recovered slightly, your injuries have not healed, I am only worried that you will not be able to leave the palace." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." The woman held on to the green bamboo and walked out slowly.

Qi Ning thought of something and sighed, "We met not long ago. ”

The woman paused, turned around, Qi Ning stared into the woman's eyes, and said: "Liu Ji brought a few musicians into the palace a while ago, and on the day they entered the palace, they happened to be bumped into by me. ”

The woman's pretty face immediately showed surprise.

"I don't know how you bought off Liu Zhen, but your current identity is a musician in the palace." Qi Ning said: "Use the identity of a musician to blend into the palace and find an opportunity to search for the guqin in the palace....... Am I right? ”

A chill appeared in the woman's eyes, and she asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Qi Ning smiled faintly and said, "It's no wonder that you're not worried about not being able to get out of the palace." Leaving the Dragon Garden, you will still be hidden in the palace as a musician, since there is a way to blend into the palace, of course, there is also a way to leave the palace. Yes, since the guqin has been taken away, there is no need for you to stay in the palace anymore, and the next step is to leave the palace quickly and catch up with them before the Donghaimen people return to the island. ”

The woman's expression was even more grim, and one hand was even clenched into a fist.

Qi Ning saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm glad that you're injured now, otherwise you should have killed someone." ”

The woman didn't pay attention to it anymore, turned around and left, and after taking two steps, Qi Ning said lightly: "My name is Qi Ning, maybe you will never think of me, but if you really think of me one day, I will be waiting for you at any time." ”

The woman only paused, and finally dragged her wounded body away.

Qi Ning waited for the woman to leave before he sighed lightly, although all kinds of signs showed that this woman was likely to be Zhuo Xian'er, but that face was the greatest evidence to overturn his judgment.

He knew that the purpose of this group of people entering the palace was not to deal with the little emperor, but to get the guqin, even so, there was no need to worry too much about the little emperor.

It's just a guqin, why did Chi Danmei categorically betray herself?

What secrets is hidden in that guqin, and why does the great master have to get it?

At first, Qi Ning was worried that the things stolen by these people would cause great damage to the Chu State, but knowing that it was just a guqin, it was difficult to think in his heart how harmful a guqin would be to the Chu State.

Qi Ning stayed in the Dragon Garden until midnight, but fortunately, he practiced internal strength in the bamboo forest, and the hours passed quickly.

It was only after the southern Xinjiang snow dragon fell asleep in the middle of the night that Qi Ning got off the python pond and quietly left the palace along the secret passage he had entered before.

His memory is amazing, when Chi Danmei led him in from the underground secret passage, he has actually been secretly remembering the direction, this time back, following the direction of memory, everything is still going well, although this underground secret passage is extremely secret, but there is no mechanism in it.

Arrived at the exit of the Maitreya Temple, the Maitreya stone carving on it sealed the exit, Qi Ning knew that there must be a mechanism to open the exit below, otherwise Chi Danmei and Xiao Shaozong and others would not be able to leave from the exit, the surrounding darkness was pitch around, Qi Ning stroked the button to open the mechanism on the surrounding stone wall with both hands, which took him half an hour, and finally touched a small round stone that was extremely smooth and bulging outward, and pressed it down hard, and saw the Maitreya stone carving on it slowly open.

He knew that when Chi Danmei opened this mechanism, it must have taken a lot of time, remembering where the mechanism was, and then found that there were holes on the stone wall that were used to step on the feet when climbing, and it was easy to get out of the hole by using those holes.

Qi Ning secretly thought that this underground secret passage was really a flaw in the palace, fortunately, not many people knew about it, otherwise if it was spread, if someone wanted to enter the palace to assassinate in the future, this would be an extremely convenient shortcut, but of course he couldn't explain it directly to the little emperor, otherwise the little emperor would inevitably suspect how he knew where the secret passage was, and the relationship between the little emperor and himself had been estranged recently, and Qi Ning couldn't guess what the little emperor was thinking, and this kind of thing was not said for the time being.

There was a dead silence in the Maitreya Temple, Qi Ning went out of the Maitreya Temple, it was the second half of the night, and the streets and alleys were also deserted.

When he returned to the Jinyi Hou Mansion, he found that the main hall of the Hou Mansion was brightly lit, he felt strange in his heart, and when he entered the pavilion, he saw that Qi Feng and Li Tang were both in the hall, and Gu Qinghan was whispering something to the two.

Duan Canghai and Zhao Wuxian were transferred by Qi Ning to the commander to train the Black Scale Battalion, Qi Feng and Li Tang were left to be in charge of the guards of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, on weekdays, Qi Feng and Li Tang took turns on duty, and today the two were called over at the same time, but it was a little strange, Qi Ning was thinking about going over to ask what was going on, Gu Qinghan happened to look up and saw Qi Ning coming in, stunned for a moment, Li Tang and Qi Feng felt that the expression of the third lady was wrong, they both turned around, and when they saw Qi Ning, the two glanced at each other, and their originally solemn expressions suddenly relaxed.

Qi Feng took the lead and arched his hand: "Master Hou, you ..... Are you alright? ”

Qi Ning looked down at himself, except for the clothes that had just been soaked in the water, the clothes had not dried yet, and there was nothing wrong with them, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you think is wrong with me?" ”

Qi Feng laughed dryly and said, "Master Hou..... Master Hou is fine. ”

Li Tang also walked over, looked at Qi Ning a few times, and made sure that Qi Ning was safe, so he was completely relieved.

Gu Qinghan walked over and glanced at Qi Feng and the others, the two of them immediately saluted and retreated, after going out, Qi Feng seemed to think of something, turned around and closed the door, and then retreated.

Gu Qinghan looked Qi Ning up and down, frowned, and said, "You..... Where did it go? ”

Qi Ning knew that the secret of the underground secret passage was still known by as few people as possible, so he could only say: "It's nothing, it's just ..... Take a walk! ”

"Just take a walk?" Gu Qinghan looked suspicious: "You are covered in water, can't you go into the water?" You..... What the hell are you doing, it's a whole day away, even ..... Don't even say hello, you know..... You know how worried we are. ”

Qi Ning knew that he left suddenly in the early hours of yesterday morning, and he didn't come back until the second half of the night today, and he didn't say a word when he left, Gu Qinghan was naturally worried, and comforted: "Sanniang, don't worry, didn't I come back?" I am..... It's just to go out and breathe, it's not a big deal. ”

"Breathable?" Gu Qinghan lowered his voice, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Yes..... Didn't I make you feel uncomfortable, so ..... That's why you ran out on your own? ”

"No.... No! "Qi Ning thought to himself, I ran out in the middle of the night, what does it have to do with you?

Gu Qinghan sighed faintly and said, "I know what you said the night before yesterday, you must not be happy in your heart, but ..... But you don't need to do this, and people will worry all day. I don't dare to show it around, so I can only ask the two of them to look around, and they can't find you in those places you go to on weekdays, and I still .....! Speaking of this, he didn't continue to speak, glanced at Qi Ning, and then sighed lightly: "I..... Am I that important to you? ”

When Qi Ning heard this, he instantly understood.

Gu Qinghan obviously thought that the three-year appointment that night made her feel unhappy, so she didn't even say a word and secretly left the house, she naturally couldn't know that it was Chi Danmei who took her out in the middle of the night.
