Chapter 11: The Gentleman on the Beam

The fire in the distance is no longer shining, the bustling crowd and shouts slowly quieted down, Li Le is good-hearted and diligent, he went over early to help put out the fire, and only after the fire was under control did he remember that he was gone, but there was no one in the Jingyi Palace, Ru'er had not come back today, and the princess had something to do, and she was to blame for dying ten thousand times, so she hurried back

When he rushed back panting, he saw that the lights and candles in the house were on, and he was half relieved, it seemed that the princess did not go out, cleared her throat, and knocked on the door a few times: "Princess, the slave has made amends to you, just now the water and fire, the slave was anxious for a while, and ran to help without permission, is Her Royal Highness the princess okay?" ”

After waiting for a while, Chen Wanqing's voice came: "I'm fine, Li Le, I've worked hard tonight, go back to the room early to rest, I'm going to sleep."

Li Le didn't care, the sudden fire at night caused panic, thinking that the princess must be a little scared, and wanted to rest earlier, so she agreed and retreated

In the room, Lin Jianniang held a dagger against the door, and when Li Le knocked on the door, she landed at the door with an arrow, her ears close to the door, listening to the sound outside. Chen Wanqing got up and held her hand and shook his head at her

After Li Le left, Lin Jianniang asked in a low voice: "Young Master, there are some strange things in the palace now, do you have enough people here?" The subordinates find a way to use some connections to transfer to the green master, so they can obey the green master's dispatch."

Chen Wanqing sighed lightly: "I don't have any manpower here, only Li Le and Ru'er, haven't you heard about me here?" ”

Lin Jianniang smiled embarrassedly, she did hear about it, but she never cared, after all, a little little princess who was not powerful at all had nothing to do with her, and she was not among the people she needed to pay attention to

"You make a list of people who can be transferred to me, and I will find a way to transfer them tomorrow, Jingyi Palace is too cold and lax, there are not even any decent people, Li Le is a good minion, but he is not suitable for doing some things, you choose some capable people to listen to my orders"

Lin Jianniang's expression was grim, and she knelt down and replied loudly: "Obey the order of Lord Qing"

Chen Wanqing suddenly smiled and asked: "You have never despised me because I am a five-year-old child, very good, I do need to employ people now, I don't actually know about this Feng Lingsheng, but if you respect me as the green master, I will definitely let the name of Feng Lingsheng resound on the earth in the future and regain the glory of Feng Lingsheng."

Lin Jianniang's eyes were moist, and she bowed down with five bodies, and choked up: "The green lord is the reincarnation of the god bird Qingluan outside the sky, the appearance of the skin and flesh is just the appearance, the subordinates have no doubt about the power of the green lord, and the subordinates are willing to follow the green lord for the rest of their lives and never rebel." The body of the green lord is the body of ten thousand gold, the words of the green lord are the words of the golden mouth, and the subordinates pray for the blessing of the green lord for eternity, and the phoenix sings the world"

Chen Wanqing laughed, he was so useful for this flattery, but it was really embarrassing to know that he was only a five-year-old child now, and he dared to be so arrogant

"By the way, I heard you say that the last young lord left a message on his deathbed, what did he say?"

Lin Jianniang smiled and said: "The previous Qingzhu once stepped into a dangerous place before he died, and only appeared half a year later, so he brought out an elixir and a pair of bracelets, and the original Qingluan Yuzhang turned into pitch black. After the previous Qing Lord came back, he wrote an article on Jiuyuan, and at the same time placed these items in a secret place in the palace, no one knew where they were, but said that they should appear when they should appear. When he was dying, he only left a paragraph: Lone is not a person of destiny, and it will be difficult to escape the catastrophe after all. It's not a pity to die alone, but Feng Ling is afraid that it will also collapse and dissipate, which is a pity. If you want to turn around, when you are in the blue moon, the reincarnated Qingluan and the black phoenix will become one, but I don't know when, and I don't know if the lonely Feng Lingsheng will have a chance to wait? ”

Chen Wanqing touched his chin, did Lao Tzu really deal with this? Hmph, don't think that all these gods and gods are good at reading you, why don't you write that broken book more clearly? It's a pity for Xiao Man

"Since you are in charge of the Red Gold Dagger to spy on the civil and military officials inside and outside the palace, what is the value of the other dagger envoys? Where are the people? ”

Lin Jianniang said: "This is also simple, such as amber for ......"

Before she could speak, a strange sound sounded outside Jingyi Palace, although the voice was low, but the two people in the room were not idle people, Chen Wanqing bundled his palms, signaled Lin Jianniang to silence, and then blew out the candle again, and opened a small slit in front of the window, squinting and looking out

It was already late at night, and after the fire just now, people were already sleepy, except for the guards on duty who had already rested, and the entire palace was silent, and the silence could not even hear the sound of insects

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Chen Wanqing saw two people in black night clothes moving slowly against the wall of the courtyard wall of Jingyi Palace, that is, Chen Wanqing's eyesight could see in the dark, otherwise he would not be able to find it at all

The two men in black would stop after walking a few steps, took out something from their waists and threw it out, Chen Wanqing took a closer look, they were all some thumb-sized yellow insects, these insects disappeared when they landed, leaving only a slight sound of churning the soil, "It turned out to be a sleeping worm" Lin Jianniang couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice when she saw this insect on the side, Chen Wanqing frowned and asked, "Do you know this bug?" ”

Lin Jianniang nodded: "Sleeping insects, also known as cleaning insects, are used by some empty door masters who are good at opening skylights and walking cornices on the rivers and lakes, this kind of insect lives in some unclean places all year round, and does not like to be exposed to the ground, so it will drill into the soil, if it detects that there are people or animals on the ground, it will release a grass-smelling gas, and people will fall asleep after smelling a stick of incense, and they can't find anything after waking up."

Chen Wanqing nodded slightly, this world is really full of wonders, this kind of thing can also be found by people, and it can also be used for such purposes

"This kind of insect is not aggressive, it is usually to let the animal sleep and kill other deadly animals or poisonous insects in the place where they parasitize, and then eat the carrion of the corpse, it is disgusting to think about it, Lord Qing, use me to kill those two people"

Chen Wanqing stared outside and shook his head at Lin Jianniang's suggestion: "Let's see what they want to do first."

The two black-clothed men outside were extremely cautious, and they only walked a few dozen steps after about half an hour, and when they approached the house along the courtyard wall, their bodies shook against the ground and the four corners of the wall, and slowly moved towards the door, without making any sound during the whole process, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Wanqing and Lin Jianniang were extremely deaf and clear-sighted people, they wouldn't have noticed any movement outside at all

Chen Wanqing pointed to the beam of the house, Lin Jianniang jumped up with him in his arms, although Chen Wanqing had real power in his body, he couldn't use it at all, and now he was just a stronger child at best, and he had no force at all

After a while, a knife tip reached through the crack in the door, and the door opened with a light pick. After a while, one of them pushed the door open slightly, slowly and carefully, for fear of a loud noise

The man pushed the door open a small crack, and a dark figure came in sideways, and as soon as he entered the door, he rolled on the spot, hiding in the dark part of the room, and then threw a small ball at the bedside, and the small ball came out with a trace of smoke, which looked like it should be incense or something

The two people on the beam covered their mouths and noses and held their breath, but there was not much smoke, and it didn't come out after waiting for a while. The man in black waited patiently for a while, and then tiptoed close to the bed, first put his hand in his arms to warm up, and then reached into the bed to touch it first to see if there was a reaction, but who knew that after touching it, there was no one on the bed at all.

The man in black was obviously taken aback, and hurriedly rolled on the ground several times in a row, hiding in the corner without making any movement. At this time, there was a squeak of a mouse outside, the sound was short and long, but it was vivid

The man in black in the house stood up and learned a few rat calls, only to see another man in black pushing the door and locking the door again

As soon as the man came in, he hurriedly whispered, "What's the matter, what do you mean by nobody?" ”

The person who came in early snorted lightly: "No one is no one, you don't believe it yourself, did you leak the news, someone took the little princess away"

The man who entered the back walked to the bed and looked, sure enough, the futon was neatly placed aside, there was no figure on the bed at all, and he muttered in his mouth: "What to do, what to do, the thing must have been taken away by the little princess, who is secretly instigating, we have spent so much effort, and we are so careful that someone snatched things away, how can we deal with the holy envoy now?"

The other person was a little angry, and his voice was a little louder: "It's not you, hiding things in the garden, can that place be safe?" I'll let you leave it to me for safekeeping, I would have had a chance to go out today, and now it's good! ”

Later, the female voice of the person who came in was obviously speaking, and at this time, she didn't care about being heard, and she also raised her voice: "Give it to you?" My good brother, I'm afraid I'll take my things and run away a long time ago, do you think I don't know how many times you've rummaged in my room? I just want to see you pretend to please me."

The senior brother grabbed the woman's clothes with both hands and said angrily: "You adulteress, don't you have the idea of asking for merit alone? Don't think I don't know that the Holy Envoy promised to give you a one-level promotion as long as you hand over the things, and there is also a Creation Pill"

The woman snapped away her brother's hand, turned around and sat on the chair, and said angrily: "Okay, our nest is cheaper than other yellow birds, what should we do now?" I've pretended to be enough of that Ning Meiren, and I have to deal with Emperor Yongchun's old thing from time to time, it's really disgusting."

The senior brother's eyes rolled, and he gently protected the woman, and the woman struggled a few times without breaking free, snorted angrily, and did not resist

"Yuzhi, for my brother is for our future, you need to show your head every day, it is inevitable that you will be targeted by people with ulterior motives, and I will keep the things as a last resort, don't you know what your brother has been thinking about you for so long? If I need half a sentence, I won't be able to die."

Shi Dahai tied up his two fingers and swore to the sky, and the woman who called Yuzhi snorted and said: "The ghost only believes in you" The tone was soft and tactful, but it was full of affection

Shi Dahai rubbed her shoulder, leaned into her ear and said softly: "Okay, since someone is dealing with us, things will definitely not be here, let's go back and think of a way, these days, I will keep an eye on Jingyi Palace to see who the person in this dark place is."

The woman nodded, and the two of them flashed out of the room again, and when they walked out, they didn't close the door, and they didn't seem to be afraid of being exposed

After Chen Wanqing and the two waited for them to leave, they jumped down from the beam of the house, Lin Jianniang waited for Chen Wanqing's order, as long as she opened her mouth, she would lay out and take down the two people

"Don't mess around, there are too many rights and wrongs in the palace recently, these two people will stay first, now that you know their identities, there is not much threat, you give me the list first, and there will be manpower first"

Lin Jianniang should claim that it is, so she stood and bent down to write out a list, which was all available along with the name of the position in the palace, and Chen Wanqing told Lin Jianniang to go back first and wait for tomorrow
