Chapter 278: A Heroic Man
Xiang'an shuttled desperately between the palaces and gardens, walking in places where the shadows were less manned. Go out from the back door of Xiaozhuyuan, run to the huge harem first, go out from the courtyard after serpenting in several palaces, pass through Huanyifang, Jinxiangyuan, and take a little eunuch's clothes to change in Jinxiangyuan, and hide in the Gongtong room. He wants to hide here until he leaves the palace at night when he pours night incense, so as to avoid using light gong all the time and being discovered.
What Liang Yi'an and Jiang Linglong fought for him was not the time to escape, but the opportunity to disguise and hide.
In the palace, it is natural that Yin Shikan's men and horses are in full control, but the entire Lin Kingdom, in terms of soldiers and horses, is more than enough for his shadow.
How can a few thousand shadows compete with thousands of soldiers?
Therefore, before getting the jade seal and forcing the palace to issue an edict, Yin Shikan will not act in the palace so as not to arouse suspicion.
That's why when the Shadow comes to report that he's lost someone, he's angry.
"I can't see anyone well, what use do I want you!" He slapped his palm on the desk where Liang Yi'an usually reviewed the folds, and the case was broken in half.
As long as he controls the Qingyuan Palace, controls Liang Yi'an, and avoids leaking news before the event, he has nothing to worry about.
The rest is just a matter of time.
It's just that people lost it at this time.
"Send people to guard the palace gates for me, if people appear, they will be killed. Send another team of people to search the whole palace for me. As long as there is no movement at the palace gate, that person is still in the palace," he rubbed the index finger and thumb of his right hand against each other, unusually calm, "Focus on those who will routinely go out of the palace today, those who go out of the palace to procure, those who pour vegetables and leaves, and those who visit relatives and leave the palace today. Let's just say that there are assassins. ”
The shadow underneath should be a retirement.
As soon as the person left, Yin Shikan waved his sleeves and closed the heavy temple door with the palm wind.
In the empty Qingyuan Palace, he was the only one left.
He served three monarchs here.
Once upon a time, he stood beside the king, under one man. Don't say anything about being in charge of the inner palace and commanding the shadows, even those princes and ministers, they are very polite and respectful when they see him.
The trust and favor of the former king made him in the limelight for a while.
In this palace, the one who can accompany the emperor for the longest time, and who can know the emperor's affairs well, is not a queen or a favorite concubine, and has always been the chief of the previous Ouchi.
He was the great eunuch beside the king.
Over time, he seems to have forgotten that he is a castrated person, forgetting that he is a slave who serves his master, and really thinks that he has a deep weight in the emperor's heart and a high status in the eyes of others.
If it's not Xiao Luzi......
He hated it in his heart, didn't want to think about it anymore, and began to look at this palace again that he had been in all his life.
This is the Qingyuan Palace.
The dormitory of successive monarchs.
He knows better than anyone how many secret doors and mechanisms there are.
He knows where the heirloom jade seal is collected.
If it weren't for King Cao's insight into the transfer of place in advance, his plan would have been seamless.
Since Liang Yanran was a brute, he was excluded from the list, and even Cai Changan didn't find the slightest clue or flaw.
God helped him in this matter.
Yin Shikan took a calm breath and thought about Liang Yi'an's heart and habits again.
If it was King Cao, where would he place the jade seal? According to his character, where is the place that is foolproof for him?
This is a place that no one else can think of, and it is absolutely safe in his heart...... Where is it?
"Are you hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat?"
Just when Yin Shikan was racking his brains, Jiang Linglong and Liang Yi'an in the small building garden were playing chess in the courtyard. Jiang Linglong's chess skills were taught by Liang Yi'an after entering Zixiao Palace.
People in the world said that the daughter of the Jiang family was talented and beautiful, which made Wang Qingyan think of her as a righteous sister. Only Jiang Linglong knows that her so-called talent is just a doctrine, as for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, only calligraphy is taken.
Guqin, Weizi, Danqing, and Jiang Heng have never asked Mr. to teach them well.
He is dedicated to his career, and his money is either spent up and down, or squandered by Jiang Cuilang, so there is only one calligrapher who spends a lot of money to invite. This gentleman also taught poetry and songs.
For him, a woman is another strength, and she is famous for her talents, which is enough to build momentum, whether it is asking someone to receive a dowry in the future, or sending her to the palace to help him rise to the top.
So when Jiang Linglong was bored in Zixiao Palace, she pestered Liang Yi'an to teach her to play chess.
Playing chess is more interactive than piano painting, and it is obviously much more interesting.
It's a pity that she doesn't have much talent, and her chess skills have not been exquisite, but fortunately, Liang Yi'an doesn't dislike it, but says that she has a good chess style and is pleasing to people.
Now that the two are playing chess, Liang Yi'an let go of seven eyes, and Jiang Linglong is still surrounded and bored.
"Okay," Liang Yi'an pinched the chess pieces in his hand, "I want to eat the noodles you made last time." ”
"Hot dry noodles, you say?"
"Hot dry?"
"Oh, it's my hometown snack." She didn't explain much, "Then you wait, I'll be back right away." So saying, he went to the kitchen.
Liang Yi'an nodded with a smile, and when he saw her leave, he lost the chess pieces in his hand and reached out to play a few times on the chessboard.
When Jiang Linglong came back, she had an extra bowl of hot and fragrant noodles in her hand.
Mahjong is fragrant, wrapped in onion flavor and bean fragrance.
She put the bowl in front of Liang Yi'an. And he tried it with a silver needle in his presence.
This is not because I am afraid that she will be poisoned, but because I am afraid that someone will touch the kitchen.
After the test was non-toxic, Liang Yi'an lifted his sleeves and ate happily.
"Are you down?" She sat back down across from Liang Yi'an.
"No, aren't you waiting for you to come back?" Liang Yi'an swallowed the noodles in his mouth, took a sip of tea, and put down a white seed.
Jiang Linglong originally felt that she was going to lose, so she lacked interest, and after casually sweeping over Liang Yi'an's fallen white son, she suddenly sat up straight.
"Wait a minute, don't rush me, I'm a little nervous."
She clenched her fists with both hands, stared at the chessboard tightly, and looked carefully at it with her eyebrows, this momentum that was raised all of a sudden, even if she didn't say it, Liang Yi'an could see it.
"King Cao, there are no regrets!" She looked at it several times, for fear that she would be dazzled for a while, and after confirming that it was correct, she rushed to Liang Yi'an. There was some excitement that couldn't be concealed.
After all these years, it was finally her turn to win a game!
Jiang Linglong put down the sunspot and almost danced happily.
Liang Yi'an snorted and laughed, and immediately restrained his expression again, and bowed his hand to her, "Bow down." ”
Jiang Linglong was so happy that her eyebrows were dancing.
The circle of shadows on the side looked at the casual appearance of the two people, and they were also dumbfounded.
Don't you take the jade seal?
Don't want to die?
Then I saw Liang Yi'an bow his head and suck the noodles clean in a few gulps.
This was the first time they had seen King Cao so heroic.
