Chapter 77: Poor Qi Qilin
"Bang, la, la."
Raindrops the size of soybeans fell one by one and smashed on the bluestone floor tiles, making a "pop" sound.
The sky was already dark, coupled with the heavy dark clouds, the streets in the entire royal city were empty, and the dark environment, coupled with the cool breeze that came with the heavy rain, set off the royal city like a ghost town.
The people who live in Wangcheng are very "sensible", they will not make noise easily, and they will not do something unpleasant, because the high-ranking officials in Wangcheng are changing every year, and no one knows what the next official will like and dislike.
So. The current royal city, more like a cage than it used to be the center of the whole country, a huge cage that imprisons thousands of people.
A fat man in a small yellow vest walked around the perimeter of the royal palace walls of the royal city.
He yawned, and the lantern hanging from the slender bamboo pole in his hand flickered as if it were going to be extinguished at any moment.
But fortunately, the lantern is not badly waterproof.
The man walked slowly against the outer wall of the palace, and the raised front of the outer wall could somewhat block some of the wind and rain.
Zhang San was helpless.
For the sake of the dignity of the royal family, he must wear this yellow vest, which cannot be disheveled or covered.
That is, he can't wear any rain gear.
Zhang San hugged his arms and rubbed his face a few times with his hands, rubbing his face red, which could reduce the stiffness on his face a little, and he felt as if his face had been frozen to the point that it was no longer his own.
Zhang San is not a eunuch, he was originally just an ordinary husband, but because the place where he played the watch was close to the palace, he had such an "honor".
He didn't complain, he didn't dare to complain, he glanced at the palace beside him, like a huge monster that eats people and does not spit out bones, standing quietly in the dark rain curtain.
Zhang San only felt a gust of wind blowing, and the cold rain that he brought up wanted to blow away from him.
Zhang San shuddered, came back to his senses, and continued to walk along the outer wall of the palace towards the front.
"Whew." Another cold wind blew.
Zhang San quickened his pace, he just wanted to find a hut that could shelter from the wind and rain, light a firewood, and dispel the cold on his body.
........
"Your Excellency."
"Princess, did you listen to me?"
"Princess, you have to go and explain to the king, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you will die here."
Xue Ju looked at Yang Zhengyu who was resting on the soft couch with his eyes closed, and said anxiously.
Hanmei sat on the soft couch, and Yang Zhengyu gently pressed her shoulder behind her, with heartache in her eyes.
The second Junlan had tears in her eyes, holding a white cloth and medicinal wine, and gently handled a scar on Yang Zhengyu's hand.
"Lord Princess, what the fourth sister said is right, you have to explain it clearly to the king, otherwise if it goes on like this, your body will not be able to bear it."
The third Cuizhu also followed along to persuade him.
"Okay, needless to say, the princess has her own plan for how to do it."
Han Mei scolded, and the other three maids immediately shut up.
"Don't worry, how can I say that I am also the adopted daughter of the Lingnan Yang family, no matter how good he Liu An is, he will not dare to make a move on me in the open." Yang Zhengyu opened his eyes and said calmly.
"But, Lord Princess, what kind of excuse is he for punishing you for sweeping the palace for a whole day today under the pretext of flying kites in the palace and using disrespect for the royal family?"
Xue Ju was a little anxious and said.
"Our young lady has never done such heavy work since she was a child, and these hands are directly worn out, how good is this." Cuizhu looked at Yang Zhengyu's hands that were still bloodied, and the tears in his eyes fell with a snort.
"He can also use this means, as long as I still call Yang Zhengyu for a day, he won't dare to touch me for a day, I want to see what other means he has." Yang Zhengyu's eyes showed a hint of arrogance, which was the pride of her Lingnan Yang family.
"Princess, if you want me to say, you should learn some kung fu from us, so that you won't be so tired in the future."
Hanmei gently suggested while massaging Yang Zhengyu's shoulder.
"Let's talk about it." Yang Zhengyu waved his hand.
.......
"Bang la la blah."
The rain was still falling. The sky didn't pass through a few bolts of lightning, followed by a rumbling sound from the sky.
Another flash of lightning struck, illuminating the entire royal city in an instant.
In a dark corner, barely able to make out a figure in a black nightcoat, walking in the corner.
Around the corner ahead, there was a sound of neat footsteps, and with a slight flip, the figure jumped onto the wall, lowered its body, and looked ahead.
This is a patrol of soldiers.
Each soldier held a lantern with a hood in his hand, and looked around the soldier for a large light.
But it's only within that range, the heavy rain is the best cover, it covers up the sound of the figure's breathing and heartbeat, so that these famous Da Nei guards on the rivers and lakes do not find him, coupled with the influence of the rain, the flame of the lantern swayed, and the guards couldn't see the figure lying on the wall at all.
When the guards were far away, the figure jumped down softly, without making a sound.
He crept in one direction, clearly with his own destination.
At this time, another team of guards passed by, and the figure hurriedly climbed up to the corner of the wall again, but he didn't expect that there were already people in the corner at this time.
The figure didn't speak, just lay down quietly, and was safe with the other person.
The two of them were dressed very similarly, both in black night clothes, with masks on their faces.
After the guards left, the figure wanted to leave, but was pulled by another person.
The figure looked at the man in bewilderment, not knowing what he was going to do.
This is the royal palace, and if they, the invaders, are discovered, there will only be one dead word.
"Brother, bring the map, I can't find the way." The man with a bronze mask on his face whispered.
The first figure had a Qilin mask on his face, shook his head gently, and said, "I already have the map in my head, and I don't need a map." ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, wait, brother, or else, I said the place, you take me, how about it."
Qi Qi leaned on the Qilin and said.
Kirin raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I take you there?" ”
"If you don't take me there, I'll be shouting here, the palace has entered the thief, and we will die together." Poor Qi had a serious look on his face.
The unicorn bared his teeth, what does this matter to me.
"Okay, okay, where you say you're going, I'll take you first."
Kirin had no choice but to compromise.
"Is this still a question? Of course it's the Scripture Pavilion, aren't you here for this? ”
Qi Qi said softly with a smile in his voice.
