Chapter 256: The Palace Saves People (I)
Master Zuo Gu is the person Han Jian can't understand the most, when Master Zuo Gu rescued Ke Qu'er, Han Jian can only feel that this woman's martial arts are very high, and he doesn't know anything about her personality. And the purpose of the arrival of Master Zuo Gu this time, Han Jian had no way to guess.
"Your master won't allow you to enter the palace with me?" Han Jian asked.
Ke Qu'er was a little aggrieved and said, "No." The master told me to go back to the south early and ...... tomorrow You may have to accompany the master on the journey. ”
Only then did Han Jian know why Ke Qu'er was so aggrieved, it turned out that she was going to leave after a short reunion, and she was reluctant to taste love just now.
Han Jian pinched Ke Qu'er's face and said with a smile: "I will also leave for the south tonight, why don't I go along?" ”
"Huh?" Ke Qu'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she dimmed again, and said, "The master doesn't allow it." ”
"Your master won't allow it, I'll go and tell her and ask her for permission." Han Jian said.
Ke Qu'er was a little frightened and said, "Ah, you're going to see the master?" No, no, the old man has a very strange temper, last time you offended her, she ...... Probably kills you. ”
Han Jian took Ke Qu'er's hand and said, "If I marry you into the door, sooner or later I will have to pass your master's level, right?" It's the same when you see you early and see you late, and when tonight's thing is done, you will drive with us to the south, and your master will find it, and I will tell her personally. ”
Ke Qu'er pursed her lips and tilted her head, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Han Jian didn't think that Ke Qu'er would have such a stupid side, and smiled lightly, which also diluted a little worry in his heart about what happened tonight.
"Don't think about it, don't move again. Maybe it's too late. Han Jian pulled Ke Qu'er and said.
Ke Qu'er only returned to the six gods, but seeing Yi Die and Fa Yi, Ke Qu'er began to lose her little temper with her little daughter's family again, and she had no time to lose her temper because the master forced her to leave.
"Hmph, didn't you say live and die with me? Why go with them? Ke Qu'er complained in a low voice.
"It's easy to get things done." Han Jian said in a stern tone, but Ke Qu'er was still a little sullen.
stepped forward, and Ke Quer found that it was "Sister Lin" she knew who was with Master Han Jian.
"Sister Lin, you ...... Why here? Ke Qu'er was a little surprised.
"Sister Qu'er, long time no see." Yi Die smiled and said, "There are some things that I will explain to you when I get back." ”
Ke Qu'er forgot about Han Jian again. There are many doubts in my mind. Because she had something to do, she could only hide her doubts in her heart first.
A group of four people walked through the streets and alleys of the snowy night towards the direction of the palace, and there were no obstacles along the way, but Fa would also stop from time to time to observe the environment.
"Master. Do you think someone is following us? Han Jian asked.
Fa also shook his head with some uncertainty. Han Jian guessed. If someone really follows him, he can still not show his whereabouts in front of a master like Fa Yi, and only a master of the level of Shangren Zuo Gu will be able to do so.
The group continued on their way. Han Jian took the opportunity to ask Ke Qu'er in a low voice, "Could it be your master?" ”
"I don't know." Ke Qu'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Master, her old man has always been secretive, how can I, an apprentice, know what the master thinks?" ”
As they spoke, several people had arrived under the western wall of the palace.
The red walls of the entire palace are four or five meters high, and they are so smooth that they cannot be climbed at all. For ordinary masters, it is not difficult to jump two or three meters from the ground, and to jump up a high wall four or five meters high, only Fa can do it among the four of them.
"I don't have a rope, what should I do?" Ke Qu'er said a little sullenly.
"I've been in with the envoy of Ibuku, and I'm in a hurry!" Saying that, Fa Ye actually wanted to untie his clothes.
Yi Die hurriedly said, "Use mine this time." ”
Fa Yi probably also felt that it was inappropriate to untie his clothes in front of his apprentice, so he nodded, took Yi Die's belt, and jumped onto the wall. Immediately, Fa Ye put down the clothes belt that was more than one meter long, so that Han Jian and the three of them only needed to jump up on the ground for less than two meters before they could grab the clothes belt and use their strength to go up.
When the three of them also go up to the wall, it will be much easier to go down the wall, just pay attention to the slow force, and you will not be affected by a lot of impact when you land.
Entering the palace wall, Yi Die tied up the belt, and Han Jian looked around, as if it was in a small garden overgrown with weeds. He had been to the palace many times, he had never been here, and he did not expect such a cluttered place in the palace.
"Where is this?" Han Jian asked.
"Your Highness, this is the outer garden of the palace, and in front of it is the Luning Palace, which is the Cold Palace." Yi Die explained.
Only then did Han Jian know that this was the rumored Cold Palace, because the Empress was in power today, and the Empress Father's concubines were sent out of the palace when the Empress ascended the throne, so the Cold Palace had been abandoned for many years, so that the small garden outside the Cold Palace was unattended, to the point of being overgrown with weeds.
The four of them walked through the Lunin Palace, avoiding the two secret sentinels and the palace guards passing by in groups, and they were not a few steps away from the palace wall of the inner palace. Fa also went first, and Han Jian and the three followed, because the inner palace wall was not high, so they entered it very lightly.
Entering the inner palace, it is another scene, the pine and cypress trees under the heavy snow cover the growth, and the palace is lined up.
Fa Yi said: "There are not many secret posts in the inner palace, and the patrol soldiers will pass by once per tea, and we have to walk quickly in a few open places." ”
Han Jian asked, "Master, where is the destination when we come in like this?" Does the master know where His Majesty is now? ”
Fa Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "We have been to His Majesty's dormitory before, but His Majesty is not in the dormitory. But His Majesty should be within the inner palace. ”
Yi Die said: "It's not a way to search blindly like this. There are many inner palaces, and even if they can escape the inspection of soldiers, it is difficult to escape the attention of eunuchs and palace maids. ”
Referring to the palace maids and eunuchs, Han Jian suddenly had an idea.
Han Jian said: "Where is the Imperial Diet?" ”
"Outside the side hall on the north side, why did His Highness ask this?" Yi Die asked.
Han Jian said: "We might as well go to the Imperial Diet Division, take the steward eunuch and ask, maybe we will know the whereabouts of Your Majesty." ”
In the entire inner palace, the imperial food division only serves the empress alone, after all, there are no concubines in the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids have other rooms, although Yang Yu and Yang Xi lived in the palace in the past, they did not live in the inner palace.
Fa Yi nodded and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Catering Division first!" ”
The group passed through the side hall and arrived outside the Imperial Diet. The Imperial Catering Division is already at the junction of the Inner Palace and the North Palace Gate, after all, the Imperial Catering Division needs to purchase ingredients, and it must be close to the palace gate. Yi Die pointed to a row of low houses and said, "The steward eunuch of the Imperial Diet Division is inside!" ”
Before arriving at the low house, I saw that there were still lights in the room of the eunuch in charge of the imperial diet. Fa also sent out a hidden weapon and directly extinguished the lights, only to hear a voice inside say sharply: "This ghost weather, even the lights are out." ”
Footsteps sounded, and it was supposed that the steward eunuch was going to the table to relight the candle. Before he could reach the table, he heard the window open, and he looked sideways, and several dark figures jumped in, their mouths covered with cloth before he could shout. Then, the sword landed on his neck.
"Hero, I don't know...... What can the villain do? The steward and eunuch asked with a trembling look.
"We have something to ask you." Han Jian shouted in a low voice.
"Villain...... In the palace, the official position is low, what is the matter...... I don't know. ”
Ke Qu'er sneered: "I didn't know before I asked, it seems that I don't want to say, so I just killed him!" ”
"The woman spares her life." The steward eunuch said, "If a few heroes have something to ask, you might as well ...... Say it. Listen to the villain, can you be helpful? ”
Han Jian said: "Where is the food of the Imperial Diet Division sent on weekdays?" ”
"Huh?" The steward eunuch was a little surprised, "A few good men, why do you want to ask this?" ”
Ke Qu'er said angrily: "I dare to ask why, I'm really impatient." ”
As she spoke, her sword also fell on the neck of the steward eunuch.
"This ...... The villain is really ...... I don't know, I don't know. The Imperial Catering Division is responsible for the food supply for so many people in the palace, and wherever it is delivered, where is there a fixed place? ”
Yi Die smiled: "Father-in-law Xu, are you bullying us for not understanding the rules of the Imperial Diet?" ”
"Ahh This time, the eunuch in charge was completely shocked, "Aunt Yi...... Buku Envoy? What are you doing here? ”
Only then did Han Jian know that Yi Die knew the steward eunuch of the Imperial Diet Division. Yi Die said: "Father-in-law Xu, I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and you treat me like an elder." Today we are here to rescue His Majesty, if you don't say it, it is to help the abuse, even I will not spare you. ”
Yi Die is a secret agent of the Criminal Division, but she is also a female official.
At this time, Ke Qu'er finally understood that the Sister Lin in front of her was not the Sister Lin she was familiar with at all, but a woman surnamed Yi who was born in the palace and knew martial arts. She further guessed that this Sister Lin had bad intentions from the beginning of approaching her, and the thought of having a deep sisterhood with a court eagle dog who would be unfavorable to her at any time made Ke Qu'er feel a chill down her spine.
Father-in-law Xu heard Yi Die say this, and sighed: "Miss Yi, it's not that you don't want to say it, it's really ...... The old body doesn't want to hurt you. What if you can find your majesty? The palace is heavily guarded, and the entire city of Luoyang is under the control of the three princes......"
"There is no need for Grandpa Xu to worry about this." Yi Die glanced sideways at Han Jian, who was holding Father-in-law Xu, and said, "Do you know who this is?" ”
“…… Who? ”
Han Jian let go of his hand, Gonggong Xu turned around tremblingly, and with the faint light of the window, Gonggong Xu glanced at Han Jian sideways, and exclaimed, "King Dong? The old body asks His Royal Highness the East King to ......"
"Father-in-law Xu is very polite." Han Jian said, "Today, Gonggong Xu is willing to tell him honestly, and he can save his life, otherwise he will die without a corpse!" ”
Gonggong Xu knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "On weekdays, the Imperial Catering Division delivers food...... It's just sent to the Taiqing Palace...... There will be special palace maids and eunuchs to take over the meal, as for where His Majesty is, the old body is really not clear! ”
After saying that, Fa also knocked Xu Gonggong unconscious with a sword. Ke Qu'er said: "Should I kill him to avoid future troubles?" ”
"No, I don't. He won't wake up for a few hours, and even if he does, he won't dare to talk nonsense, and he won't disturb us. (To be continued......)
