Chapter 168: What I Saw and Heard in the Palace

Qi Yufeng thought about it, and felt more and more uneasy, so he immediately got up quietly, woke Yang Xiangqi up from his sleep, and whispered to her what he had just discovered.

Yang Xiangqi listened to his thoughts, nodded solemnly, and said: "Shaolin, Wudang and other portals are now big and big, and it is not a big deal to have a few scum, so you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

Qi Yufeng said: "At that time, I only thought that the enemy led me to fight with each other in the martial arts channel, and there was civil strife, but I didn't expect that if these people were not the characters in the major portals of the martial arts, how could they know these martial arts." ”

Yang Xiangqi sighed and said: "My daughter's body has been seen, she died in the wasteland five miles outside the villa, and the cause of death was actually because of the Wudang Sect's unique mastery 'Heaven-shaking Iron Palm' in her body, and I already had some doubts at that time......

When Qi Yufeng heard this, his heart couldn't help but beat darkly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility in his heart, but if this possibility came true, then in the future, several sides of the rivers and lakes would definitely fight each other, and both sides would be defeated, and there would be no possibility of reconciliation.

He frowned, and immediately said, "I'll visit the palace again tomorrow." ”

Yang Xiangqi didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Okay." ”

Qi Yufeng smiled and said: "It's not you who go, but I go by myself, this Mongolian emperor and the remnants of the previous dynasty, I don't know how much dirt there is in secret, I won't kill him first, just secretly probe, the chief sect is prepared, let's take precautions." ”

The next day, the two disguised themselves and walked out of another secret door, and went to the street to drink and eat, just because most of the capital was full of officials on this day. The two of them couldn't say anything about key topics, just some things they had seen. Customs.

Yang Xiangqi heard that on the street, many people were worried about the assassination of the Mongolian emperor last night. In his words, he was like a mourning grandmother like a dead father, and they all showed their loyalty on the street, showing how much Mongolian blood they had and how close they were to the royal family.

She was immediately furious, ate food, bought dry food, and immediately took a break to the back house of those "pseudo-Mongols" shopkeepers. Shaking the fire, it ignited the firewood and grass in the firewood room, and set fire in all directions.

In a moment, the fire burst out, and in an instant, the voices of people were boiling, shouting: "Fight the fire!" Only to hear the gong ringing, the two left in a hurry, Yang Xiangqi said hatefully: "I can't kill Zhao Zhichun and the Dog Emperor, the two thieves." ”

When the two made such a big fuss, they couldn't help but be targeted by people with intentions. I saw two spies staring at each other, far behind; The two immediately crossed the streets and alleys, entered an inn in Xidan, and then followed the inn. Sneaked into a secret passage.

Qi Yufeng recuperated his spirit, and it was easy to get to the second watch, and he went straight to the path designated by Yang Xiangqi. Follow the secret passage of the previous dynasty to the foot of the palace of Mengyuan.

He entered the inner hall and quietly jumped into the palace wall. He sat alone on the ridge of the house, but saw that the palace was higher than the dwelling. The roof tiles are golden and brilliant, and red walls are built around them, also known as "Xiao Wall".

Its main entrance is called the Lingxing Gate, and there are thousands of steps on the left and right. Outside the east wall of the Xiao Wall is the Cao Canal Road. The imperial city is not based on the axis of Ouchi Miyagi and symmetrical from east to west, but is centered on the Taiye Pond and surrounded by three palaces, Ouchi, Longfu Palace and Xingsheng Palace, which are built according to the characteristics of the Mongols who "live by water".

The main gate of Ouchi is Chongtian Gate, the north is Houzai Gate, the east is Donghua Gate, and the west is Xihua Gate. There is the Jinshui River in front of Chongtian Gate, and there is a Zhou Bridge on the river. The main hall of the Great Inner is the Daming Palace, it is the place where the Yuan Emperor governs and lives, the face is wide and eleven rooms, and there is a corridor to connect the apse at the back. After the Daming Palace, it is the Yanchun Pavilion, which is the residence of the queen. In addition, there are buildings such as the Jade Virtue Palace, the Inner Library, the Eagle House, and the Sheepfold.

Between the roads in the palace, the guards with knives patrolled tightly, but now that he is so lightweight, how can he let the guards see it?

After a while, he identified the location of the imperial kitchen and leaped all the way over. The imperial kitchen is next to the Daming Palace, which is the place where the imperial food is served, and the guards around it are close to the nobles, and the guards are very strict.

But at this time, the emperor had already gone to bed, and the staff in the imperial kitchen were also dispersed, Qi Yufeng came to the imperial kitchen, only to see the candle flame lit brilliantly, but several waiting little eunuchs were dozing off, and they did not remind immediately, and went to the food cabinet to find some ready-made food and munched on it.

Qi Yufeng ate a meal, felt that it was in good taste, and immediately drank a few more glasses of wine, filled a wine gourd, and then turned around and left.

He slipped out of the imperial kitchen, and was about to go out to the Daming Palace to inspect the movements of Emperor Yuan Shun, tiptoeing around the two palaces in the dark, suddenly feeling the cool breeze blowing on the body, faintly hearing the sound of water, sending bursts of fragrance in the quiet night, and the courtyard of the deep palace suddenly had the intention of mountains and forests.

Qi Yufeng smelled this fragrance and knew that there must be a large number of flowers nearby, so he immediately got drunk and followed the fragrance of flowers to find it. Gradually, the sound of the water became more and more noisy, bypassing a flower path, only to see Qiao pine and bamboo, green and covering the sky, layers of mountains and strange Xiu, quiet and deep.

Qi Yufeng secretly appreciated it, thinking about the strange arrangement here and the beauty of flowers and trees. It can really be regarded as a human ascending state.

After walking a few feet, I saw a piece of silver waterfall that seemed to be like practicing from the side of the mountain, poured into a large pond, and thought that there was another drainage channel under the pond, but the pond water was not overflowing. There are countless red lotuses in the pond, and in front of the pond is a large-scale Tibetan-style pagoda, with six words written on the forehead of "Datianshou Wanning Temple".

Qi Yufeng only heard the Sanskrit sound, chanting from the temple, he walked to the front of the hall, only to see that the steps under the corridor were full of jasmine, frangipani, musk vine, hibiscus, cinnamon, and red banana; Behind the hall, there are incense beads such as Galan wood and real wax ambergris, but the feeling of sweetness strikes people, and the hall is full of clear fragrance.

Going forward, there were several pots of fresh fruits such as new lotus roots, melons, loquats, and forest pickles on the table in the hall, and a few fans were thrown on the chairs, and it seemed that the Tartar Emperor had been here before.

Qi Yufeng sighed in his heart: "Lao Tzu is squatting in the dark well, but this Tartar Emperor is enjoying happiness here." Immediately picked up a few fresh fruits, devoured them, and continued to move forward.

He seemed to have a lot of people here, and immediately he felt strange in his heart, and he stepped forward, when suddenly he heard a man in the distance shouting, "Who is it? ”

Qi Yufeng was startled, hurriedly jumped up, hid on the pagoda, only heard the heavy footsteps, and the two guards held a single knife and ran to the front of the hall.

The two men looked around, but there was no difference. One laughed and said, "What the hell are you." Another laughed and said, "I've been dazzled these days." He walked out.

At this moment, only one person could hear the sound of laughter, and then a woman screamed, Qi Yufeng listened to this voice, it was the voice of Emperor Yuan Shun, and he couldn't help but be surprised, his heart said that when he was so late, he hadn't slept yet, what was he tossing here?

He was on the top of the pagoda, looking at the front of the hall under the faint light of the stars, and vaguely saw the figure of the person, in addition to Emperor Yuan Shun, there was also a row of guards, and a woman opposite, kneeling on the ground, her delicate body trembling.

I only heard Emperor Yuan Shun lower his voice and said: "Ning Xiang'er, today the emperor put wine in the Tianxiang Pavilion to enjoy the moon and drink, you can't refuse me anymore, right?" Then he sat aside, and a guard brought him wine.

The woman's body trembled, and she got up from the ground, and while the musicians were babbling and playing, the woman heard the drumming, and slowly returned to the room, and changed her clothes, and after a moment she went out, she saw her dancing beautifully, and in the moonlit night, she began to dance.

But seeing her wearing flower crown brocade shoes, dancing like a bird and a crane, evoking people's imagination, the body is soft and elastic, like a wild goose soaring in the air, a very graceful dance, dancing is light, elegant, soft and free.

Dancing to the interest, jumped into the air, shoes and hats also flew into the air, after a week of her somersault, the moment she got up, just put on shoes and hats, the score is correct, a hundred trials are not bad.

Emperor Yuan Shun laughed and said: "Okay, if you are like a shocking Hong, if you are like a dragon, Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Hua Mao Chun Song." The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind. It is said that in ancient times, there was a dance of neon clothes and feathers, and now the dance of Qing can be called 'the dance of turning over the crown and flying shoes.' ’”

The woman didn't realize that there were people around her to praise her, but she just danced hard, her face was white, her green silk was dyed with ink, and the colorful fan was elegant, like a fairy, and the water elf seemed to come from a dream. A round of spring moon in the sky opens the palace mirror, the woman under the moon sometimes raises her wrist and lowers her eyebrows, sometimes lightly Shuyun hand, the fan in her hand is closed and held, like a pen walking dragon painting Danqing, jade sleeves are windy, elegant and vigorous. The sound of music is clear in the ears, the body turns, throws, opens, closes, twists, circles, curves, and the flowing water is like a dragon flying, like a phoenix dancing.

Emperor Yuan Shun was very happy when he saw it, and immediately shook his head and groaned: "The beads are spinning, the stars are shaking, and the flowers and vines are shaking and the dragon and snake are moving. Dance low willow building heart moon, singing peach blossom fan bottom wind. Good, good, good. ”

But seeing her in white clothes, the more she danced later, the more anxious she became, and on the flowers and trees around her, the petals on the trees fell randomly, and the red flowers, white flowers, yellow flowers, and purple flowers revolved around her like butterflies, which was beautiful and disgusting.

Suddenly, the instrument stopped, she suddenly swirled back and forth, like a jade swallow, stopped, Emperor Yuan Shun said: "Quick, quick, rest and rest." ”

He was in high spirits for a while, and he wanted to hug the woman into his arms, but the woman struggled slightly, escaped, and said: "The little girl has already had a marriage contract with the prince of Snow Mountain, please respect yourself." ”

Emperor Yuan Shun was slightly stunned, and then said, "Oh? I forgot. Then he sat down at the table again.

The woman drank a glass of wine, rested for a while, and only heard Emperor Yuan Shun's command, and the sound of musical instruments in the musician's hand rose again, and immediately stood up and danced again.

But I saw her dancing lightly, her body was as light as a swallow, her body was as soft as a cloud, her arms were as soft as boneless, and she danced like a lotus flower step by step, like a butterfly flying among the flowers, like a gurgling flowing water, like the bright moon in the deep mountains, like the morning light in the alley, and like the round dew at the tip of the lotus leaf......

Emperor Yuan Shun was overjoyed, laughed, clapped his hands, shook the wine cup in his hand, but sprinkled a little residual wine on the dragon robe.

The woman hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it, but was grabbed by Emperor Yuan Shun, grabbed her waist, stroked her face, and shouted, "Beauty, come with me." (To be continued......)
