From Yongding Gate to Zhengyang Gate, entering Zhengyang Gate is really into Beijing City, Sichengfang's Sihailou is located on the west side of Chaoyangmen Street near Yanfu Palace, on the edge of the crossroads, in front of the door is the East Fourth Archway, Duan Fei is the time to eat when they come, Sihailou is really a crowd of guests from all over the world, it is almost impossible to find a vacant seat if there is no reservation position, but Huaming has his own way, find a cousin to tell a few words, and the cousin said to Duan Fei with a smile on his face: "This official, there is a box upstairs empty, please come with me." ……”

Sihailou, a world-famous restaurant with its own set of operations, will leave two or three sets of boxes every day to entertain guests, unless it is a relative of the emperor or a high-ranking official with real power above the second grade, otherwise how much money does not want to book, although Duan Fei is only a fourth-grade official, but his name has already spread all over the capital, and it is very likely to be a character who soars, Sihailou naturally did not dare to offend easily, and directly gave him the best box.

Hua Ming assigned Luo Chaohui to take the brothers back to Jinyi Wei and the Praetorian Guard to report, and everyone dispersed, Duan Fei only took a few people with him to the Sihai Tower, and the wine and food were quickly put up, the northern-style food made Duan Fei have a great appetite, and Shi Bin, who came from the south and was used to eating exquisite dishes in the south of the Yangtze River, was a little unappetizing.

It was getting late today, the court meeting had dispersed early, and Duan Fei planned to return the holy decree to the temple tomorrow morning, so he didn't dare to drink, but frequently persuaded everyone to eat.

When he was half-full, Luo Chaohui walked into the box in his regular clothes and whispered a few words in Hua Ming's ear, Hua Ming stepped forward and whispered in Duan Fei's ear: "My lord, a noble man said that he had an old relationship with you, and he was waiting to see you, so let's go over immediately." ”

Duan Fei was stunned, he didn't know many people in Beijing, who else could labor Hua Ming say nobles? I really didn't expect him to be so anxious to see him, Duan Fei didn't dare to slack off, he got up and wanted to find a place to change clothes, Hua Ming smiled and reminded in his ear: "My lord, you don't need to change your clothes, just wear your regular clothes, don't forget, you don't know his identity yet." ”

Duan Fei understood, and said hello to everyone: "I have something to do to meet a friend, I don't know when I will return, Luo Chaohui, you are responsible for beckoning everyone to find a place to live, everyone eat slowly, don't worry about having no money to pay the bill and being mortgaged to work here, the silver Rong'er carries is enough for you to eat all over the capital." ”

Everyone understood and didn't ask much, Xie Zhijun took the lead and said that everything went smoothly, and the others also wished him well, Su Rong stood up and gave Duan Fei a handicap, wiped the dust on Duan Fei's face with her embroidered white handkerchief, and said softly: "Be careful, I'll wait for you, if you delay for a long time, let Hua Ming and them deliver me a message if you have the opportunity......"

Companion Jun is like a companion, Duan Fei can feel the concern and worry in Su Rong's heart, he gently held Su Rong's hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, after a day's journey, you better rest early, or do you want to wait for me to do something special together?" Let me tell you a little bit about it, so I'm looking forward to it. ”

Duan Fei rubbed Su Rong's little hand and said provocative words, Su Rong lowered her eyelids shyly, and said angrily: "I just want to confirm whether you are still alive, what special thing are you going to do, let's go find your Xiao Han." ”

Duan Fei sighed and said thoughtfully: "Yes, Xiao Han has been missing for several days, I really don't know where she is now and what she is doing......"

Su Rong kicked him hard and said, "Get out, go find your Xiao Han, it's best not to come back!" ”

Duan Fei laughed, went downstairs with Hua Ming, got on his horse, and galloped all the way through Beijing.

Hua Ming's flying fish suit made them unimpeded, Duan Fei was not too familiar with the ancient city of Beijing, only knew that they bypassed the imperial city and came to the direction of Xiyuan, and Hua Ming took him to the gate of a compound.

This compound and ordinary private houses can be seen from the appearance of many different places, its gate is golden, there are many thick rivets on the top, the two majestic sculptures in front of its door are as high as three meters, not lions but unicorns, its wall is ten meters high, from the angle of its outer wall inclination can know its thickness is amazing, and there are arrows on the top, this is by no means an ordinary house, this is simply a small castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Duan Fei raised his head and looked at the plaque on its door, only to see that the wide plaque didn't know who had nothing to do and covered it with a red cloth, and there were two people dressed in the shape of a family member standing in front of the door, looking at the two of them curiously, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked out, and said to Duan Fei and Hua Ming with a smile: "General Hua, this is Lord Qincha Duan, right?" Sure enough, a heroic talent, Lord Duan, my master is waiting for you, come with me. ”

The housekeeper introduced himself as he led the way and said that his surname was Zhang, Duan Fei was already suspicious, and at this time he couldn't help but observe carefully, only to see that although Steward Zhang's face had a lot of wrinkles, his delicate skin was not comparable to ordinary men, and his voice was feminine, although it was not as obvious as Gonggong Hai, but he was definitely a eunuch.

"Xiyuan...... The castle-like courtyard, the old eunuch surnamed Zhang...... And the emperor ......" Duan Fei summarized the information he saw in his brain, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: "The word leopard room won't be written on that covered plaque, right?" ”

Xiyuan leopard room is famous for Zhengde, Duan Fei has heard it many times, when King Ning rebelled, many rumors are related to the leopard room, for example, Zhengde played with the stolen folk girls in the leopard room, and threw them alive to feed the tigers and leopards if they were slightly distracted, but whenever someone had a big belly, he deliberately made her pregnant for several months, and then dissected it to see whether it was a man or a woman, and said that the leopard room was like a ghost, but what Duan Fei saw was completely different from the legend, the environment here is beautiful, and the building is neat and atmospheric, It is like a concrete and micro simplified version of the Forbidden City, and it integrates the characteristics of southern gardens, making it elegant and leisurely in its seriousness.

Although he didn't see a single guard, Duan Fei's ears and eyes became more and more intelligent after practicing, he could hear a lot of steady and slow breathing behind the flowers and plants, opening outside and galloping inside, thinking of Zhang Rui and Zhang Gonggong, who was above 10,000 people under one person in the Ming Dynasty, now looked like an old housekeeper, Duan Fei secretly said in his heart: "Aren't these specially prepared for me?" ”

Zhang Rui took Duan Fei around the flowers and trees a few times, and went around to a five-story building, Zhang Rui looked up and said loudly: "Master, Lord Duan Fei Duan is here." ”

After a while, a person's head poked out from the windowsill on the fourth floor, and he called out happily downward: "Ah Fei! You're finally here, come up, I'll show you something good! ”

Although Duan Fei didn't see his face clearly, he could confirm by listening to the voice that it was the Zhu Gongzi he met in Baoying, and he laughed loudly: "It turned out to be Zhu Gongzi, I thought it was who, Zhu Gongzi is so well-informed, I just came to Beijing City, and you were invited by you without eating a few bites of the dishes in Sihailou, you have to compensate me for a delicious meal!" ”

Zhengde laughed happily and said: "You will never suffer, don't worry, the chef at home is more clever than the chef of Sihailou, and he will never starve you, don't talk nonsense, come up to me." ”

Duan Fei glanced back at Hua Ming, and Hua Ming concealed: "My lord, please do it, I won't go up." ”

Although Hua Ming was appointed by Zhengde to be Duan Fei's bodyguard, but with his identity, he couldn't casually enter a place like the Star Picking Tower, Duan Fei nodded knowingly, followed Zhang Rui, and walked into the Star Picking Tower.

It is said that the wine pool meat of the king of Shang Lin Zhengde Emperor also copied one by one, and the star picking building was built even more luxurious, but Duan Fei's leopard room came all the way in, and the star picking tower climbed up, and did not see anything particularly luxurious, the scale of this leopard room is far inferior to the house of an ordinary salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and the star picking building is not even as gorgeous as Wang Shiyong's happy building, and the legend is that 99% of it is fake, Duan Feishen thought so.

The floor of the fourth floor was covered with a Persian carpet, which was soft to step on, and when he turned a light wall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw many candles burning on the pillars on all sides, Zhengde leaned on a soft couch and beckoned to Duan Fei: "Come here, I'll wait for you." ”

PS: The trip to Jiangnan has done a lot of foreshadowing, and I am also working for Duan Fei's future team, so it will be better to go to Beijing after I get longer, it's not so easy to overthrow Su Rong, if you have any good ideas to overthrow her as soon as possible, you might as well tell me......
