Chapter 489: A Surprising Discovery
Qin Xian'er nodded: "Apart from them, who else has such the ability of the earth to gather so many scholars overnight?" Don't forget, Xianggong, Mr. Gu Shunzhang is a well-known emperor in the world, and even his father has to pay a teacher salute when he sees him."
Emperor? Lin Wanrong shook her head helplessly, how could this old Mr. Gu, as the emperor's teacher, not judge the situation and prefer to work against his own students? He snorted, and asked the man who had just spoken, "What are you doing in the Gu family, was Mr. Gu Shunzhang sent you here?" β
"The two of them are Gu Jiadi Nursing Home, and the old lady has gone out to travel and has not yet returned. It was the old lady who heard that something had happened to the young master, so she specially sent Xiaodi to inspect the land." The man replied hurriedly.
Old lady? It's no wonder. Lin Wanrong nodded, and said casually: "Your old lady has some schemes. It takes one night to come up with such a desperate idea as besieging Lin Mansion, which is so admirable, hehe. Is there some high-level staff who is helping her come up with ideas?! β
"I don't know." Seeing that Lord Lin was smiling and looking fierce, the man was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed: "The two of us are just underground people in the house, and I really don't know about the things you keep asking."
These two people are also working for others, and their knowledge is limited. Lin Wanrong didn't bother to ask any more, so Virtue called two guards hidden in the shadows and escorted the two of them.
"Xianggong, what should we do now? Did you go directly to Gu's house to settle accounts with the old lady? "Miss Qin's fairy is very anxious. As soon as he heard that the Gu family was inciting people to make trouble, he wanted to commit suicide and go to the door.
"Reckoning? What kind of account? Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled: "Just based on the words of these two people, you can raid your father's imperial teacher?" Isn't that a joke?! β
Qin Xian'er thought about it, and also felt that she was a little reckless, Gu Shunzhang was a well-known emperor in the world. Even his father didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him, who would dare to copy his home?
"What then?" Miss Qin snorted and said aggrievedly: "You can't beat and fight, you can't kill and kill, do you just let these people keep surrounding our house?" β
"Don't worry." Lin Wanrong took her hand and said with a smile: "These are rabble, and they can't afford to rise in waves. What really matters is the person behind the stealth! β
"You mean King Sei?!" Seeing Lord Lin smiling treacherously. Miss Qin was immediately overjoyed: "Xianggong. Can you really catch him?! β
Lord Lin touched her little hand hehe**, neither saying yes nor saying no. Miss Qin knows her temperament. Unsure of things, he won't speak. Then he calmed down and asked no more questions.
Qin Xian'er found a soft sedan chair, and the two of them sat in it, and after walking for a distance, they threw the soldiers behind them far away. Seeing that Xianggong kept probing out and looking around, but the sedan chair was wandering around in the alley, Qin Xian'er was also confused: "Xianggong, what are you looking at?" Where are we going? β
Lord Lin smiled mysteriously and did not answer. Miss Qin was puzzled. The sedan chair stopped, and the sedan chair man who was walking in front turned around, lowered his voice and said respectfully: "My lord. It's here."
Arrived? Qin Xian'er moved lightly, slowly stepped off the sedan chair, and glanced around. But he was taken aback. The place where the two of them stood in front of them was a narrow alley, and although it was daylight, it was bright but very bleak. On the opposite side of the alley is an extremely large house. It covers an area of several hundred acres of land, and a pair of stone lions stand proudly at the door. There is only half of the vermilion lacquer gate left, and it is about to fall more and more when it staggers. The house is full of green pavilions. You can't see the edge at a glance. The beams of the house are all pitch black, several lofts of the earth, burned to the point that only a skeleton remains, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur and smoke, choking the mouth and nose. This house is ruined everywhere, dilapidated and declining, but the faintly exposed gold brick and jade roof can only faintly see the prosperity and glory of the past.
"Xianggong, what are you doing back to the palace?" Qin Xian'er looked at him with doubts, it turned out that the two of them were staggering in a small sedan chair, and they actually returned to the alley opposite King Cheng's Mansion. Seeing that the prosperous palace in the past had declined overnight, Qin Xian'er sighed with emotion at the same time, naturally a little strange.
"I don't know." Lin Wanrong spread her hands helplessly, and pointed at the person who came from a distance: "It was this kid who called me to the ground."
The strong man in the distance, with a burly figure. The footsteps were hurried, and when he saw the two of them at a glance, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down happily: "The lowly high chief, I have seen Princess Nishang, and I have seen Lord Lin."
Chief Gao's clothes were disheveled, his stubble was stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have not slept all night. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Don't come here with these hypocrisy, Brother Gao, you have worked hard."
Qin Xian'er remembered what Xiang Gong had said before he left the mansion, and suddenly realized, grabbed Lin Wanrong and said, "Xiang Gong, what did you send Chief Gao to do, how did you go around, we are back in the palace again?" β
"Well, I'm going to ask Brother Gao, I'm just like you, I'm also confused." Lin Wanrong shrugged with a smile, and there was also a little doubt on her face.
"Commander Gao, what's going on?" Qin Xian'er turned her gaze to Chief Gao, and her tone unconsciously brought a bit of majesty.
Chief Gao was still a little afraid of this witch princess in his heart, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Back to the princess, this matter has to start from last night. Last night, on the orders of Lord Lin, he sneaked into the palace, wanting to search for some evidence and investigate the situation. I don't know, this palace courtyard is too big, and I got lost in it, and somehow, I saw that the courtyard of the palace was on fire. Princess, please believe in the lowly position, this fire is really not my light, Lord Lin can testify for the lowly position-"
"Yes, I testify." Lord Lin was full of righteousness, and said majestically: "With the character of a big brother, you can do it for plunder, but it is a low-level thing like arson. I really can't get into his eyes. It must be a good man who can't get used to the evil deeds of King Cheng, so he set fire to it in anger, and it has nothing to do with Brother Gao."
Miss Qin still doesn't know this middle doorway, and sees that her father-in-law and Gao Sheikh have perjured each other. He couldn't help but chuckle: "Commander Gao, it's a dry day, and it's inevitable that you accidentally lose a candle, and this palace won't care about these little things. Pick something important and say."
Sure enough, they are husband and wife, and even the tone of their speech is eighty percent similar to Brother Lin. Chief Gao snorted and said with a smile: "Duke Xie forgives, and he is grateful. It is said that last night the palace went to water, and he wandered around the palace and tried his best to put out the fire. Later, I saw the princess and Lord Lin exert their might. In a moment, more than 100 guards were impressed, and the princess was kind and loving. And he personally released these people who had violated the forbidden one by one, and with such magnanimity of heart, he moved the heavens and the earth, and wept ghosts and gods, so that the lowly and his brothers admired them greatly."
"Brother Gao, you can just pick something urgent. Brother, I still have a broken leg. I really can't hear you put up a dragon gate array." This time, even Lord Lin couldn't get used to his sycophancy. Interrupted him with a smile.
"Yes, yes," Chief Gao's face flushed, and he hurriedly answered twice, and his expression gradually became serious: "After the princess released the dozens of guards. The lowly and his brothers, under the secret order of Lord Lin, secretly sneaked behind these people-"
Qin Xian'er was stunned, and then remembered the situation last night when Xianggong let him go. Suddenly clapped his hands in distress: "Oops, why didn't I think of this idea?!" I also said how the prime minister suddenly became generous, but it turned out to be a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind."
What are these words. Am I not usually generous? Lord Lin was full of helplessness. Qin Xian'er glanced at him happily, and said to Chief Gao: "Hurry up and continue, what else did Xianggong tell you?" He's got a lot of flowers in his stomach."
"Yes. The lowly and his brothers divided into several ways to follow the palace guards who were dismissed by the princess to find out their whereabouts. Chase it all the way. Most of these dozens of people are following the princess's teachings. Rehabilitated and dispersed-"
Qin Xian'er nodded and smiled: "So, there are exceptions?!" β
"That's right, the princess is really smart and clever, and she admires her humble duties!" The high chief bowed down and slapped his ass.
"Xianggong, take a look," Qin Xian'er smiled and glanced at Lord Lin: "These people follow you, and they haven't learned a few percent of other skills, but this tricky kung fu has been passed on by you."
"Ashamed, ashamed, the princess praised it falsely." Chief Gao said sincerely: "The light of fireflies, how dare you compete with Haoyue? A little bit of skill is less than one ten-thousandth of Lord Lin. He is well taughtβ"
"Teach a fart," Lord Lin couldn't listen to it anymore, and snorted: "If you have something to say, don't play with the ground. Exactly how to make exceptions. You're going to be honest."
It was the chief who flattered and said: "I have gone through a lot of hardships, tossed and turned, and I have never slept peacefully, and I only ate ten steamed buns halfway. Always behind these two people, finally, the hard work paid off, and the humble duty was discovered a little."
This old boy stopped slapping on the back, but praised himself like a flower, and Lord Lin was completely speechless. Xian'er smiled and said: "Commander Gao, as long as you do things well, this palace will definitely show your father and give you a heavenly credit. Tell me what you found. β
"I don't want to be rewarded for my merits, but I want to always protect my emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Chief Gao knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before standing up and looking around a few times. lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I followed two of them all the way, these two boys were very alert, and they stopped walking all the way, constantly going around ***, wanting to find out if anyone was following. Fortunately, the lowly artists are bold, witty and flexible, and they didn't realize it. When it was noon today, the humble post made an earth-shattering discovery, and these two people went around and around, but they returned to the palace againββ"
Damn, listening to Lao Gao blowing the cowhide for a long time, the last sentence is the most important. Lin Wanrong hurriedly said: "Back to the palace?" And what about them, where are they now?! β
"Strangely here's the thing." Chief Gao frowned, his face full of puzzlement: "When they return to the palace, they don't dare to be careless, and they will immediately send someone to invite Brother Lin to you. But what makes people wonder is that when the two men entered the palace, they disappeared without a trace. I can't find it anymore."
"Gone?!" Lin Wanrong exclaimed: "Could it be that you ran away from another fork in the road?!" β
Chief Gao shook his head solemnly: "All around here are our eyeliner. Even if they have wings. It's impossible to escape right under our noses."
Chief Gao was so sure that when he followed him, his whereabouts were not revealed, and there was no reason for the two of them to escape. It's just that why did they disappear when they entered the palace? Lin Wanrong let out a long breath, frowned, and leaned back in the wheelchair in thought.
Qin Xian'er also knew that this was a critical time, she didn't dare to interrupt Lin Wanrong's train of thought, so she stretched out her little hand and gently massaged it on his shoulder.
Lord Lin snorted comfortably and patted Xian'er's little hand. Slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a divine light in his eyes: "Brother Gao, have you searched carefully inside and outside this palace?" What kind of secret rooms are there? β
Chief Gao hurriedly shook his head: "I also thought this way at first, King Cheng escaped with the help of the tunnel in Xiangguo Temple, so I paid special attention. It's just that taking advantage of the riots last night, inside and outside this palace. We've searched it three times. Houses, boudoirs, gardens, stoves. We have never spared any place where we can stay. I don't know that this palace is very innocent and clean, and I haven't even seen the entrance to a secret room, and there is not a single flaw, which is really incomprehensible."
Not a single flaw? That's weird! Lin Wanrong sneered: "If there is really no flaw, it is the biggest flaw!" Brother Gao, you immediately organize people to search again, dig three feet into the ground, and dig out those two people for me."
Chief Gao answered, and said puzzledly: "Brother Lin, these two guards are so heavy, do they want to be so vigorous?!" β
"It's not that they're important-" Lord Lin closed his eyes and pondered, and sneered: "--It's the person hiding behind them--Brother Gao, you must get this thing done. If what I expect is right, we will find the big fish in the land, and it will be hidden in the palace."
"What?!" Qin Xian'er and Gao Chieftain screamed at the same time.
