Chapter 230: A Late Night Visit
In the dark night, in a remote corner of the South Palace of the Imperial City, two black figures were sneaking around the palace wall. The two of them were agile and light, although they were moving extremely fast, they didn't make any sound, it was Wang Xu and Dian Wei who were going to visit the palace at night.
After deciding to settle down during the day, Wang Xu was also bold, and immediately took Dian Wei to buy two sets of black coarse cloth deep clothes. To be on the safe side, it was bought at a different store. He also bought a piece of black cloth, took it back to the post house and cut it himself, and wrapped all the heads except for the eyes. Weapons are also brought, but they are only the most ordinary ordinary swords, in addition to some "crime" tools, such as flying hooks. This is also no way, although he and Dian Wei are good at martial arts, and they have some experience in doing this, but the palace walls are very high, and if you want to climb over them out of thin air, it is undoubtedly a fantasy!
"Dian Wei, quick! Go in from here. After going around the palace wall a few times and calculating the approximate location, Wang Xu finally made up his mind. In the morning, Han Kui introduced him to the detailed layout of the palace, so he knew that this location was very close to the palace group where Diao Chan was, and the palace wall in this location was relatively tortuous, and there were many big trees outside, and the guards on both sides were far apart, so it was not easy to be discovered.
Hearing this, Dian Wei didn't speak, nodded directly, and looked around. Quickly took off the flying hook from his waist, turned his internal force, pressed it in his hand, and threw it over the wall with a "swish". Immediately with a skillful pull, the hook was already gently hanging on the wall, and only made a very light friction sound.
"Hey, hey! Dian Wei, I can't imagine that you haven't forgotten this effort! Seeing that Dian Wei was so skilled, Wang Xu couldn't help but laugh softly.
Dian Wei smiled innocently, but still did not speak. Since the first time he stole that year, he was surprised to see someone's bed, and after the director was chased and killed all night, he never squeaked again, and he didn't open his mouth when he died.
Wang Xu also knew his habit, smiled narrowly, and no longer hesitated. His eyebrows flashed with a touch of solemnity, and he firmly grasped the rope connecting the flying hook, and as soon as the internal force was lucky, he was already climbing up quickly, and his feet were on the wall to borrow strength, and he had already climbed the wall in a few steps, and he prostrate on the wall and said: "Dian Wei, hurry!" Remember to put the hook away. As he spoke, he moved a little forward to give Dian Wei a foothold.
nodded, Dian Wei did not hesitate, and immediately pulled the rope and flew up. Don't look at his height and strength, but he is more agile than Wang Xu, almost in the blink of an eye, he has already climbed up, and he also quickly lies on the wall.
Seeing this, Wang Xu took a deep breath and immediately waved his hand. "Down!"
After some tossing, the two finally entered the palace, but they did not relax, but were extremely nervous. Wang Xu's heart is already "poof! "Poof" non-stop. Fortunately, except for the area around the main hall, the rest of the palace is either pavilions or grass and wood courtyards, so it is not difficult to find a place to hide.
Wang Xu took Dian Wei to lie behind the flower beds at this moment, although there were no guards around, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move for a long time! The main thing is that this thing is too "exciting", sneaking into the palace, there are really many in history, but they are all celebrities from the same period. Not to mention the strict guards, even the psychological pressure is quite large.
After a long time, Wang Xu took a few deep breaths, slowly calmed down his heartbeat, and calmly recalled Han Kui's introduction to the palace. The Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into two parts, the North Palace is the sleeping palace of the emperor and the concubine, and it is far away from the South Palace, so you don't have to think about it. And this Nangong is the place where the emperor discusses politics, as well as various female officials, low-level palace maids, eunuchs, etc., and even has an arsenal and so on, which is relatively miscellaneous.
At present, I am in the southwest of Nangong, walk a distance to the right, it is the center of the entire Nangong, and there are large halls along the way, like Pingshuo Palace, Qianqiu Long Live Palace, Zhongde Palace, Chongde Hall and so on. As far as Han Kui said during the day, the female officials in charge of the crown and court clothes of Diao Chan all live in the southwest of this South Palace, which is relatively western, and happens to be on the same horizontal line as the Qianqiu Long Live Palace.
Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but recall the distance from the Pingcheng Gate to the Qianqiu Long Live Hall when he entered the palace in the morning. After a while, I already had a bottom in my heart, and immediately waved my hand, and spit out two words inaudibly: "Northwest!" β
After saying that, he immediately bowed down and sneaked to the northwest. Although I already had an idea in my mind, the layout of the palace was far more complicated than I imagined, and although the direction was correct, I still couldn't find a place after going around for a long time. Wang Xu even stopped twice and scratched the map on the ground with his hand to estimate the approximate location.
Fortunately, there are indeed not too many guards in the South Palace, only a few guards on duty outside the gates of each palace. Although there are many guards on patrol, the palace is too big, as long as you are agile, react quickly, and have some experience, it is not too difficult to avoid it.
Unconsciously, Wang Xu circled around the palace like a headless fly for more than an hour. When he stopped for the fourth time to draw a map on the ground and identify the location, he finally showed a look of surprise. "Dian Wei, the palace group in front should be it, but the palace gate over there is guarded by guards, go! Let's find a spot on the wall from the side. β
Dian Wei nodded again and again, he had already dizzy, and he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, where else could he put forward anything.
After going around the courtyard wall of this palace complex for a long time, Wang Xu finally found a place in the easternmost corner, because it was the darkest place, and it was a dead end, unnoticeable. It's still the old rule, needless to say, just get on the hook and jump into the wall......
"Sister Chan! You haven't slept yet, have you? As he spoke, a sharp knock on the door was also remembered.
was sitting by the candlelight and looking at a hairpin in a daze, he was stunned, then reacted, hurriedly wiped his cheeks that were still stained with tears, walked over and opened the door: "Cui'er, why haven't you slept?" β
"Hey!" Cui'er sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know why, I always can't sleep tonight!" I was always thinking about my sister and General Wang, and I just saw from the window that there was still light here for my sister, so I came over to take a look. β
"Oh!" Diao Chan responded, but turned around a little weakly, slowly sat back in the position just now, picked up the small box again, looked at the hairpin inside, and said blankly: "I miss him so much!" β
"Hey!" Seeing Diao Chan's appearance, Cui'er didn't know what to say, so she could only walk over gently, sit next to Diao Chan, and drag her little head with both hands to the table. "Sister, it's not a way to go on like this! I see that you have been in a trance for a day, you don't eat, you don't sleep at night, and your body can't stand it! β
"My sister knows it too, but ......" said Diao Chan's eyes were already involuntarily filled with tears, and she choked up as she clutched the small wooden box.
Diao Chan was so sad, Cui'er also felt sour in her heart, and hurriedly comforted: "Sister, don't cry!" Don't cry......"
But as she spoke, she herself began to sob. After a long time, he couldn't help but hug Diao Chan and said, "Sister, you say, why is our life so bitter!" Why? β
Cui'er's innocent and immature inquiry, Diao Chan couldn't answer at all, because she couldn't figure it out herself.
Next to the dim candlelight, two beauties hugged each other and cried, and the swaying light reflected the youthful cheeks, but it was desolate!
After a long time, Cui'er unwillingly wiped the tears on her face, and her eyes showed a hint of determination: "Sister, otherwise find a way to tell General SΓΉ Wang the truth!" Otherwise, if you continue to be so depressed, you will fall ill sooner or later. Our lives are already bitter, at least don't leave regrets! Cui'er is willing to sneak out of the palace secretly to help her sister deliver the message. β
"How does this work!" When Diao Chan heard this, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly said: "If you leave the palace without permission, you will be killed." β
"It's okay, it's just a big deal, it's just a death, anyway, it's not interesting to live here. Only my sister is the best for Cui'er, and Cui'er is willing. Cui'er said stubbornly.
"No, my sister must not let you be in danger!" This time, Diao Chan shook his head very firmly.
"Sister......
Cui'er wanted to say more, but Diao Chan had already resolutely interrupted: "Needless to say, if you say it, I won't admit it!" β
After speaking, he pondered for a long time before he sighed again: "Besides, what can you do, but it will implicate him!" It's better to let him think that it's best if I'm dead, at least he will always remember Xiao Chang'er back then, and he will live happily. All I need is this hairpin, and that's enough......"
As soon as Diao Chan's voice fell, a voice full of domineering came slowly: "The hairpin is just something outside the body, how much you want, how much I will give you!" Am I such a living person as not as good as a hairpin? β
With the words, Diao Chan and Cui'er were stunned for a moment, and blinked at each other, but they reacted suddenly and looked at the door of the room in an instant.
The two were horrified and were about to scream, but it was too late, Wang Xu had already greeted Dian Wei, and before they could react, they quickly bullied up and covered Diao Chan and Cui'er's mouths respectively.
"Woo!" "Woo!" The two suddenly whimpered and struggled, Wang Xu was about to speak, but suddenly let out a muffled snort, even Dian Wei was the same. It turned out that Diao Chan and Cui'er actually took the same move and bit down hard as soon as possible.
This was really ruthless, and bright red blood flowed out almost instantly. "Chang'er, when did you become so fierce!"
With this slightly familiar voice, Diao Chan's body suddenly stiffened, and finally reacted. A pair of beautiful eyes quickly opened to the limit, and let out a soft cry in disbelief: "Brother Xu? β
With these words, Cui'er over there also reacted, and finally stopped biting Dian Wei.
"It's me!" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wang Xu let go of his hand and took off the black cloth wrapped around his head. "Chang'er, you are really ruthless, it is just a bite, if I speak one step later, I am afraid that the piece of meat on my hand will be bitten off by you."
Maybe he had already entered the room at this time, Dian Wei also nodded again and again, and said with a sad face: "Lord, this woman named Cui'er is even more ruthless, and my hands are numb." β
The two of them, who were still in a daze, came back to their senses at this time, and immediately blushed. However, Diao Chan quickly thought of something, hurriedly ran to the door, looked around carefully, and quickly closed the door.
"Don't worry, there's no one around. I've circled twice, and the lights are still on just you. Saying that, Wang Xu looked at Diao Chan solemnly and said, "Chang'er, why are you hiding it from me?" Do you hate me so much? β
In fact, Diao Chan and Cui'er's words Wang Xu had already heard them, because as soon as he entered this palace, he found that only here was still lit by candlelight, so after going around, he quickly ran here to investigate the situation. As a result, she happened to see Cui'er knocking on the door, so she kept hiding outside the door and eavesdropping on the situation.
"This ......" Hearing this, Diao Chan's face instantly turned red, nervously at a loss. didn't dare to answer the question, but hesitated and asked, "How long has Brother Xu been here?" β
"For a long time!" Because this place is not convenient after all, Wang Xu can't waste too much time, and says bluntly: "I heard what I should hear, and I heard what I shouldn't hear!" β
As soon as these words came out, Diao Chan suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and under the dim candlelight, the blushing face was so beautiful that it was difficult to look sideways.
But just as Wang Xu looked carefully and was about to speak, Dian Wei suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Lord? Can I bandage it first? Cui'er bit off a piece of the meat for me! The blood was so left that it stained the house. β
"Uh......" Wang Xu was reminded like this, and the pain in his hand was also instantaneous, and he immediately said urgently: "Cicada, find us two pieces of cloth and bandage them." β
"Oh! Good. Diao Chan blushed patronizingly, and only then did he remember that the two of them were still bleeding on their hands, and he immediately became anxious. Cui'er, go over there and get the medicine box. β
"Hmm!" Cui'er answered, and immediately ran to get the medicine box.
"Huh? Cicada, you also know medical skills? Wang Xu suddenly wondered.
Diao Chan saw that Wang Xu's hands were covered with blood, and he was already so anxious that he was about to cry, and immediately choked and shook his head. "How can I heal! It's just that there are some medicines in the palace that are always available, and they are made by the medical officers. β
As Cui'er brought the medicine box, the two immediately bandaged Wang Xu and Dian Wei, and Diao Chan was even more careful to the extreme, very gentle, with tears in her eyes. In fact, this little injury is nothing at all, even if it is wrapped in three or two, but now, I am happy to enjoy the grace of beauty.
However, Wang Xu couldn't find anything to say here, but Cui'er's voice suddenly came from there. "Huh? Aren't you in pain? Does this medicine hurt when applied to the wound? β
"Oh! Get used to it, this little injury is not a big deal! Dian Wei suddenly smiled innocently, and his voice was also very subtle.
"Wow! You're amazing. Cui'er suddenly admired the authenticity.
"I'm nothing, the lord has a few scars on his body to be scary, and those are almost fatal injuries." Dian Wei smiled.
When Diao Chan heard this, her hand trembled suddenly, and although she didn't raise her head, she could still feel it, and she was crying.
"Then are you going to war?" Cui'er asked again.
"Hit!" Dian Wei is rightfully authentic.
"Are you awesome?"
Hearing Cui'er's simple question, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh, and continued: "Dian Wei is the first fierce general in the army, and it is no longer a problem to tear tigers and leopards alive. β
