Exchanges of Gifts2 Verse 23

In the twenty-third section, he was laughing at himself, and suddenly heard a very soft sound from below, someone muttered something quietly, this voice was extremely soft, but Wu Ming was now highly concentrated, and naturally heard it clearly, he was suddenly startled, suddenly shortened his body, hooked his feet on the eaves, stretched his body downward, and hung an upside-down golden hook, stretched his neck and looked down.

The window below squeaked, and was pushed open, and a female voice said softly: "Lord Wu has not come yet, I'm afraid he won't come, alas, poor princess." Although the voice was extremely light, it clearly reached Wu Ming's ears. Wu Ming was shocked, and when he was about to make a move, someone said on the side: "Wait a little longer, maybe Lord Wu is really delayed." "This person is none other than Lin Yinghuan.

The female voice Wu Ming was very familiar, it was the voice of Xuanyuan Ling's handmaid Xiaobi.

The crown prince is a sister of Xuanyuan Ling, and when Han Mingdi was in power, he was named Princess Mengling. It is also strange to say that Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty had many concubines in his life, but he was only pregnant with Empress Zhou Xiao and Zhou, Xuanyuan Ling, a pair of brothers and sisters. The other concubines turned out to be nothing. The prince doesn't talk about it, but this Xuanyuan Ling is a well-known mischievous mischievous person, and often makes the harem a miasma. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty and Empress Zhou didn't talk about her, others dared to care, this little girl was even more arrogant, and the entire harem was almost to the point of talking about the "spirit".

Four years ago, Wu Ming traveled to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The arrogant back of his control of the time and space machine deeply shocked the prince's brothers and sisters, and Xuanyuan Ling's curiosity about Wu Ming became stronger and stronger, and he pestered Wu Ming all day long to talk about this and that, and everyone in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. The marriage between Wu Ming and Xuanyuan Ling was that when he was about to set out on the expedition, Xuanyuan Ling pestered the holy decree issued by Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. At that time, everyone was taken aback, and it became a hot news in Kyoto. It's just that no one expected that after a southern expedition, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, father and son, both died, and now the north and south have reached the verge of splitting. The huge Eastern Han Empire in the past has changed completely.

Xiaobi is Xuanyuan Ling's handmaiden, and she is also Xuanyuan Ling's playmate since childhood. Hearing her voice here, Wu Ming almost couldn't believe his ears, he opened his mouth, and almost blurted out, but finally stopped the precipice and didn't make a sound.

The window opened, Xiaobi poked her head out of it, Wu Ming's eyes lit up, and he suddenly saw it clearly. Xiaobi's delicate and small face was full of anxiety, and she was frowning at this time, holding an oil lamp in her left hand, and protecting the lamp with her small hand in her right hand, looking out anxiously. When the night breeze blows, the lanterns dance with the wind. Wu Ming's heart was overjoyed, he took a long breath, and when he was about to go down to recognize him, he suddenly tightened behind him.

Someone grabbed his feet.

He was suddenly frightened, and he only felt that the 36,000 pores of his body were breaking out in a cold sweat. Although his feet were caught, the thought in his heart was electric: "How can he be a master if he can bully behind himself without knowing the ghost." If you really want to fight with the other party, for a while, how can you tell the winner and loser, I am afraid that I will alarm the people of the entire post house, I can't say, only hard to come.

He gritted his teeth, and was about to make a move, but he heard Dao Yun softly "shh ”

Wu Ming's heart was relieved, and a big stone suddenly fell to the ground. He gathered himself, turned his head, and looked over suspiciously.

At this time, the twilight was dim, and the half-moon in the sky was also weak, and it was gray. Dao Yun was dressed in a pitch-black robe, sticking to the tile. The whole person is almost one with the world. It's just that there is no slightest relaxation on his face, it is all solemn, and when he saw Wu Ming turn his head, he said again: "Lord Wu, don't move, there are a lot of things lying in ambush around." ”

Wu Mingda was surprised, when he came in just now, he had already paid attention to letting go of the six senses and listened carefully, there was indeed no one in this building, or rather, there were no martial arts masters who could threaten him. It's just that Dao Yun said it so solemnly that he couldn't help but not believe it. He was thinking wildly, Dao Yun had already reached out and grabbed a piece of green tile, and with a slight shake of luck, the tile suddenly turned into a black shadow, and between the lightning and flint, it had already flown out of the distance. I could only hear a soft "pop" sound, and it was hitting a wooden door in the distance. In the darkness, two shadows of five big and three thick suddenly jumped out, and they fell silently towards the wooden door. After seeing a qiē as usual, the two shadows suddenly closed and disappeared into the twilight.

These two shadows were like rabbits, and Wu Ming was hiding on the eaves, so he naturally saw it clearly. His heart was shocked, and he was about to open his mouth to speak, when he saw two people coming out of the night, one of them yawned and muttered in a low voice: "Li Jun, although the mechanical wooden man provided by Lord Yi is considerable, it is not too much of a fuss. A leaf on a tree, a tile on a roof, will jump out and make a noise. No matter how thick the nerves are, they will be ground off. ”

Another person turned around the wooden door a few times just now, and then looked down for a long time, and after finding nothing, he stopped his companion's complaining and said, "You better stop being wordy, Lord Yi is also afraid that we will make trouble, so he kindly sent a set of defense mechanisms." The fourth watch has passed, and it is time for the four groups of people to rotate immediately, be careful, Li Gongzi is in a bad mood now, and if there is any more chaos, we will definitely die without a whole corpse. ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, although Wu Ming didn't say anything, his heart was already overturned. The way of machinery, when he sent Lu Fang to Liu Ze's mansion last time, he had personally experienced it, and he only felt that it was extremely mysterious. But I didn't expect that there was a layout of Yiguan in this station. No wonder as soon as I got here, I always felt that someone was watching on the side, but it turned out to be this reason.

The two of them came out and examined it carefully, but naturally found nothing. Dao Yun saw that the two of them were hidden in the darkness again, so he crouched down and walked by the eaves, a beaded curtain hung upside down, his hands were placed on his mouth, and he made a trumpet, and let out three cries like night owls in a row. The small window opened again, and Lin Yinghuan lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Is it Master Daoyun?" ”

Dao Yun didn't speak, and in the dark, he only saw his two lips fanning up and down, obviously using the kung fu of "transmitting sound into the secret and gathering sound into a line". Sure enough, Lin Yinghuan's slightly surprised voice came from below: "Master, I've opened the mechanism, you come in." ”

The house where Lin Yinghuan is staying now is the fourth floor of this building, this window is hidden in the shade of the trees, not conspicuous, several people are hidden in the dark, for a while, it is difficult to find, but if the two of them really fly into the building through this window, the whereabouts of the two will naturally be exposed. Dao Yun heard Lin Yinghuan say this, and his body suddenly rolled up, and he had already taken it back. He turned his head sideways and lowered his voice to Wu Ming: "Lord Wu, please come with me." ”

Before the words fell, he was already clinging to the tile, slippery like a swimming fish, and swam towards the roof above. Wu Ming suppressed the doubts in his heart, followed his example, and followed closely behind, the two of them were like ghosts attached to the tile, and after a while, they swam to the bottom of the roof, Dao Yun handed over the dust in his hand to his left hand, and pressed his right hand towards one of the tiles. The roof suddenly flipped over, revealing an almost accommodating hole, Dao Yun's body shrank, and half of his body had slipped into the hole, and he said softly: "Keep up." As he spoke, his upper body had shrunk into the hole like a snake.

He is familiar with this matter, obviously it is not the first time to do it, and Wu Ming's doubts in his heart have increased. Following his example, he slipped into the hole, but under his feet was a flight of stairs. Looking down the stairs, you can see the scene inside the house. Lin Yinghuan and Xiaobi were standing below, stretching their necks to look around. Seeing Wu Ming, Xiaobi's pretty face was full of joy, Wu Ming's feet just landed, Xiaobi had already run over, grabbed him and said urgently: "Lord Wu......" The voice was surprised and happy, Wu Ming turned his head to look, and saw that her face was full of surprise, but a pair of eyes were faintly misty under the hazy light.

Wu Ming grabbed her right hand with his backhand and asked anxiously, "Xiaobi, where is Xiaoling?" Are you all okay? ”

Xiaobi was startled, and hurriedly broke free of her right hand, and a flush appeared on her face. Hearing Wu Ming ask her, his face became even more sad, he saluted Wu Ming, and squirmed: "Lord Wu, the slave should be damned, princess, where the princess is now, I don't know." ”

Xiaobi is Xuanyuan Ling's personal maidservant, and the two have always been inseparable. Wu Ming didn't expect to ask this answer, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiaobi wiped the tears from her face and replied, "My lord, after you and Your Highness went south, the princess stood on the Imperial City Observation Deck every day and watched. One night, there was a sudden fire in the palace, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the next day, they got the news that Concubine Qing was a spy in Beimeng and poisoned the emperor, and now Taiwei has been under martial law in the whole city. When the princess first heard the bad news, she was almost stunned, and washed her face with tears every day, and then when the tears dried up, she stayed by the bedside every day, calling your name and that of Your Highness every day. ”

Wu Ming's heart was sour, Xuanyuan Ling had been pampered since he was a child, and when he suddenly heard this bad news, it was a big blow to his heart. It's just that she and the prince were not by her side at that time, which was like adding frost to the snow for her. He calmed down and asked, "Xiao Ling is so sad, why didn't she take her to see Queen Zhou?" How did you get lost? ”

Xiaobi shook her head, her face was pale, and said, "The Taiwei has grounded everyone, we can't even get out, how can we see the queen." Later, I got the news that the entire Southern Expeditionary Army was almost wiped out. The life and death of His Royal Highness and Lord Wu are unknown, and the princess can't stay any longer, she told me that she was going to find you and His Highness, and then pretended to be sick and knocked the guards unconscious. Ran out alone. I wanted to go with her, but she thought I was a burden, and just like that, the princess is still nowhere to be found. ”
