Chapter Forty-Six: The Hideout of the Pretty Woman

readx;

As the center of the entire imperial palace, the Taiji Hall is specially used to deal with national affairs and military affairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThere are no lakes and ponds for rest and viewing, and there are not even wells, so if you want to put out the fire, you have to go through five long corridors to reach the nearest water source.

The land of water is all too familiar. Not elsewhere, it is the Hongwen Museum, the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, and also the place where books are stored, once upon a time, he was a student here, leaving a lot of memories here. If it weren't for this Hongwen Museum, he, Changle and Li Xueyan might have been passers-by who met in Pingshui.

Hongwenguan is not far from the Taiji Hall, and there is a garden called "Yiyuan" in the side courtyard of Hongwenguan, the garden has a pleasant scenery and green bamboo, which is a place for students to rest and play. There is a small lake in the garden, where you can get water to extinguish the fire. The small lake is exquisitely structured and connected to underground waterways, so it is a living lake and will not have to worry about water interruption.

Du He inquired along the way, as long as his face was gray and some of his faces could not be distinguished, he would stop and inquire.

chased all the way to Yiyuan, but unexpectedly found no trace of Gongsun Yeyue.

Will you take advantage of the inattention and hide in the "Yi Garden"?

Hongwenguan is not only the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, but also the first collection of books in the Tang Dynasty, with all the books that have been handed down to the world throughout the ages, as well as some solitary books that have been almost lost. At the same time, it is also a place where a group of old scholars study knowledge. The students here are princes and nobles, and the books here are the essence inherited by the ancestors for thousands of years, and those old scholars are all famous Confucians, including Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang, Li Xuandao, Li Shousu, Xu Jingzong, etc., they are all prominent figures.

Such a battle is enough to show how the guards of the Hongwen Pavilion are. Ordinary people are not allowed to wander around here without permission.

The only place where people can be hidden is this Yi Garden, which is a place for students to rest and relax their minds, and naturally there will be no guards to interfere. At this time, the students of Hongwen Pavilion were in class, and Yiyuan would not have anyone except for those soldiers and palace maids who went inside to fetch water, and it was a good place to hide.

Du He called two soldiers to look at the door, and personally searched every place in Yiyuan where people could be hidden, even the places with dense branches and leaves on the trees, no one was missed, but nothing was found.

He leaned blankly against the wooden bridge leading to the academy, his brow furrowed into a line.

"Could it be that I'm wrong? Was my inference wrong? Gongsun Yeyue didn't blend in with the palace maids who were fighting the fire at all, but fled elsewhere? Where is she now? ā€

Many questions came one after another, and Du He only felt that his head was a little big.

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!"

"Think about it, there will be clues!"

He rubbed the temples on both sides of his brain, and said in his heart: "Rearrange it, I don't believe that Gongsun Yeyue can really fly to the sky!" ā€

He used the most old-fashioned, yet practical, way to rethink things.

"If Gongsun Yeyue was me, I killed someone, what method would I use to escape from the palace?"

"First, change into the red clothes on your body, the clothes are conspicuous, too noticeable, and you can't hide; The palace is like a labyrinth, although Gongsun Yeyue stayed in the East Palace for a month, it is impossible for Li Chengqian to take her to the Taiji Hall to explore the terrain. Therefore, Gongsun Yeyue is not familiar with the terrain around this at all. If it were me, how would I save my life in a place where I was unfamiliar with the terrain and heavily guarded? The choice of this second step should not be to run around blindly, but to blend in with the crowd and hide. This is the only way to avoid exposing yourself as much as possible, which is crucial to blend in with the fire brigade. ā€

After thinking about it, he returned to the original point, and it seemed that all the clues of his thoughts were broken here in the fire brigade.

"Forget it, trivial matters, don't worry about it for now, the third step, I am Gongsun Yeyue, how will I take the third step? Blending in with the fire brigade is only a stopgap measure. In the chaos, perhaps no one will care about their existence, but once the fire is extinguished, Gongsun Yeyue's outstanding appearance and rustiness in the crowd will be easily distinguished. So the third step should be to find a place to hide before the fire is extinguished. The palace is not somewhere else, it is not something that can be come and go when you want. Because of the assassination, the whole city is under martial law, and if you want to get out of the imperial city at this time, the chance is zero. If it were me, I would find a safe place to hide, so that no one could find me, and let the people who captured me think that they had escaped from the Imperial City, so that they could relax their guard. Only in this way can the poor odds of success be raised to one. ā€

"Why did you think of going up to the dead end again!" Du He found that he couldn't do without the "fire team" and "Yi Yuan" when he thought about it, because only these two places could allow Gongsun Yeyue to hide, but in fact, Gongsun Yeyue was neither in the "fire brigade" nor in the "Yi Garden".

"Did that guy really grow wings and fly, or turn into a turtle and get into the water?" He was complaining unintentionally, but it was like seeing the sky through the clouds, and his inspiration flashed.

"Got into the water, got into the water!" He repeated it twice, and he searched almost the entire "Yi Yuan", and the only place he missed was underwater. According to common sense, it is impossible for people to hide under the water, but there are no absolutes in the world, what if Gongsun Yeyue really hides under the water with some kind of breath-holding kung fu?

He looked under the bridge where he was, and found a few shallow palm prints in the mud at the edge of the creek.

The firefighters poured water on the lake to fight the fire, and Gongsun Yeyue wanted to dive into the depths of the lake to hide, and the only way was to slowly dive into the center of the lake from the stream where he was leading to the lake: the shallow palm print was the most powerful evidence that Gongsun Yeyue led to the center of the lake.

Gongsun Yeyue's hiding place is in the middle of the lake!

Du He was overjoyed, and hurried to the lake, to find out, his eyes were like electricity, searching and scanning the lake; Suddenly, he found that in the middle of the lake full of lotus flowers, there was something more, and he smiled knowingly, and wanted to step forward, but after a little groaning, he stopped and walked towards the Lizheng Palace.

Changle and Li Xueyan are staying in the Lizheng Palace at the moment.

Du He has found the hiding place of Gongsun Yeyue, but the real mystery has not been revealed: why did Gongsun Yeyue risk his life to design into the palace and assassinate Li Chonghuang? Li Xueyan is not mistaken, is Li Chonghuang really Li Chonghuang? Is this Li Chonghuang good or evil, what is the secret in him?

Before these mysteries were solved, Du He's reason told him that he must not reveal the hiding place of Gongsun Yeyue.

Gongsun Yeyue killed people in the palace, killed people at Li Shimin's birthday banquet, and even killed people in front of Li Shimin, and in order to make himself have no time to take care of anything else, he also made a move to assassinate Li Shimin, all kinds of things are just slapping Li Shimin and revealing her hiding place, no matter how magnanimous Li Shimin is, it is impossible to forgive her.

The crux of the problem lies in Li Chonghuang, assuming that Li Chonghuang is a villain who does all kinds of evil, then Gongsun Yeyue killed him, which is to eliminate the harm, and confessing to Gongsun Yeyue is tantamount to doing something against his will, so as to regret it for life. Assuming that Li Chonghuang is innocent, then Gongsun Yeyue deserves it, and if she is captured at that time, it will be a clear conscience.

Du He came to the Lizheng Palace, and Changle also heard about the assassination of Li Shimin and Li Chonghuang, and worriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Du He comforted and told Changle about the situation.

Changle was relieved to hear that Li Shimin was unharmed, but when he heard that Li Chonghuang had been assassinated, his sad face appeared again, and he sighed in a low voice: "My cousin is killed, my uncle must be very sad!" ā€

Du He comforted a few words and looked at Li Xueyan.

Li Xueyan took out a small jade bottle from her arms and said in a low voice: "What it contains is a skin lotion, as long as you apply this skin liquid on Li Chonghuang's face, you will see if it is true or not!" ā€

Du He took the jade bottle and put it in his arms.

Li Xueyan suspected that Li Chonghuang had used the disguise technique, and the technique was very similar to the disguise technique she had learned, since this was the case, the skin lotion used to dissolve the disguise technique would naturally be effective. Therefore, after the family banquet, Du He asked Li Xueyan to go back to his home to prepare the skin lotion for the purpose of debunking Li Chonghuang's true identity.

Originally, he didn't want to disturb Li Shimin's banquet, and he couldn't be sure, so he never exposed him. planned to find an opportunity to splash the skin lotion directly on his face after the banquet to distinguish the real from the fake, but unexpectedly, he asked Gongsun Yeyue to kill him first. Since this irresistible accident happened, Li Chonghuang's true identity is worth studying.

Du He came to the Taiji Hall with the skin lotion.

When Li Shimin saw him coming back, he asked, "Can you catch the murderer?" ā€

Du He shook his head and said: "No, that woman is extremely cunning, she set fire to attract patrol soldiers, and has lost her trace, but she has only found the clothes she has changed into, and it is estimated that she has disguised herself as a palace maid or a eunuch hiding somewhere." ā€

Li Shimin didn't doubt him, but said: "Even you failed to arrest her, this grandson Yeyue is really not simple!" What do you think of this assassination? ā€

Du Ho paused and said: "Obviously, this is a well-planned assassination plan, although it is not certain why Gongsun Yeyue chose the location in the palace, but the son-in-law can be sure that her purpose is only Li Chonghuang alone." This can be seen from her flying sword, her flying sword can easily stab Li Chonghuang through it, with this kind of strength, no matter how fast I am, it is impossible to catch up with it first. Obviously, this is her mercy. Therefore, the son-in-law thinks that if he wants to solve this matter, he must start with Li Chonghuang. We don't know anything about Gongsun Yeyue, and Li Chonghuang's enemies are the ones we are looking for. However, before that, the son-in-law wants to confirm whether this Li Chonghuang is really Li Chonghuang...... The son-in-law felt that he was probably a fake, but he just disguised himself and used disguise. ā€
