Suddenly there was the sound of the copper deadbolt being removed from inside the door, and the door of the Four Seasons Pavilion cautiously opened a crack, and then opened outward. Before Zhang Yunhua could ask, Ah Feng had already squeezed half of his body into the Four Seasons Pavilion and beckoned to Xiang Kang, who was poking his head out of the Hanshan Pavilion in front. Xiang Kang immediately opened the door and walked quickly into the Four Seasons Pavilion with Zhao Qingzhou.

Seeing the two of them, everyone in the Four Seasons Pavilion was puzzled. Tong Ning'er, who was comforting Su Mengtang on the chair inside, opened her eyes as big as copper bells, got up and said, "Why did the two brothers come back?" Xiang Kang motioned to Ah Feng to close the door, walked to the center of the room, and told everyone about the things that he had just met Shi Miyuan when he went downstairs, and that Shi Miyuan had already entered Wanzhou Pavilion.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunhua walked to the table, picked up the hat that Su Mengtang had prepared for Qiuqiu and March, and said, "That is the case, you guys are listening to the movement next door here, and Ning'er and I will go down to find it." After that, he handed the hat to Tong Ning'er, Su Mengtang wanted to ask for help, but because he was too anxious, he couldn't make any effort, so he didn't speak.

"Shi Miyuan's people are guarding outside Wanghai Tower now, and it is estimated that they will be interrogated when they enter and exit, so it is better for everyone to go out alone and not attract attention." Xiang Kang said softly. Zhang Yunhua nodded and said, "Then I'll go first, it is estimated that Xiangxi will be able to meet Zhuo Ran and them soon, and we will discuss it later." With that, he took a hat, opened the door very lightly, and walked out quickly.

Zhao Qingzhou looked around and saw that on the wall separating the Four Seasons Pavilion and the Wanzhou Pavilion, there was a long scroll of pine and bamboo drawings imitating the brushwork of the Tang Dynasty, and the upper and lower scrolls were glowing with ebony luster. Zhao Qingzhou looked up along the painting and saw that the pine and bamboo picture was hanging on a copper nail the thickness of a little finger. One end of the copper nail is deeply embedded in the wall to bear the weight of the scroll.

At this time, Xiang Kang and Ning Er had already walked to both sides of the painting, and they both pressed one ear tightly against the wall, wanting to hear the movement next door from the stone wall. However, she couldn't hear clearly, Ning Er closed her eyes and carefully captured the words on the other side, but except for a few words that were passed vaguely and quickly, the other languages were extremely difficult to hear.

Zhao Qingzhou saw Ning Er and Xiang Kang sticking their heads closer and closer to the wall, and reminded him of the two of them: "You see, there are a lot of nails hanging on the painting that are inserted into the wall, why don't we pull out the nails and listen from the hole, wouldn't it be clearer." The people looked up at him and saw the nail.

Xiang Kang hurriedly motioned for Ah Feng to bring a chair, went up and gently took off the painting, grabbed the copper head of the nail again, first twisted it inward, and then pulled it out. The nail was about five inches long and heavy, and was pinned to the bun by Xiang Kang's hand. Ning Er stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Xiang, come down quickly, I'll listen, my ears are smart." ”

Xiang Kang jumped down lightly, and together with Qingzhou, he held a chair for Ning'er. I saw that Tong Ning'er's whole person was like a gecko, clinging to the wall, covering the hole in the wall with her ears, and listening carefully. Everyone did not dare to come out, lest they make any noise that would cover the noise coming from the other side of the wall.

Tong Ning'er listened, and at the same time gently confided in her mouth that she had heard the language, it seemed that this method was indeed much better than the method just now. In the Four Seasons Pavilion, the words spoken by Ning'er's mouth floated like smoke, and when combined, it was like an elder's appreciation for the junior. Listening to these words, Su Mengtang seemed to have some worries in his heart. But before she could let out a long breath, there was a clear knock at the door.

Everyone was startled by the sudden knock on the door, Ning Er jumped down from the chair and said softly: "Brother Xiang, Brother Zhao, you go inside and hide, I'll deal with it." Although Xiang Kang was reluctant to be so passive one after another, he was also afraid, so he had to pull Zhao Qingzhou to the back of the tent between the outside and the inside. Bihu also immediately helped Su Mengtang up and helped her to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Tong Ning'er saw that everyone was seated, so she came to the door: "Who is coming?" "Is Miss Su there?" A delicate girl's voice came from outside the door. When Tong Ning'er heard the sound, she quickly glanced at Xiang Kang, who poked his head out from behind the curtain, indicating that she didn't know who it was. Xiang Kang made a gesture, signaling her to act when she saw the opportunity, and if there was danger, everyone would come together to help.

Ning Er opened the door a crack and saw a girl standing outside with Yaoqin on her back, her forehead was heavily coated with goose yellow, and her cheeks were also covered with bright red rouge, like a musician dressed in the streets. The girl was also slightly surprised when she saw the pretty Tong Ning'er, but she didn't forget to explain her intentions, and said in a low voice: "Two children asked me to come to Miss Su." ”

These words were said very lightly, but the words drifted into Su Mengtang's ears. Su Mengtang, who was leaning on Bihu, seemed to suddenly regain his strength, got up and walked to the door, and said, "I am, come in quickly." Before the words fell, Tong Ning'er had already pulled Qingxue into the Four Seasons Pavilion and closed the door with her backhand. The kid has news. She shouted softly and called everyone out.

Qingxue didn't expect that there were so many people in the house, and she was a little scared for a while. After she hurriedly looked at these people, she found that there was no malice in the eyes of each of them, and she only had great expectations for what she was going to say, so she slowly let down her guard, took out a note from her sleeve and said: "The two children are waiting for Miss Su and Xiang Gongzi on the fourth floor to pick them up, this is the note they wrote." ”

Zhao Qingzhou took the note, unfolded it in front of everyone, and saw that the names of Wan Qiu Qiu and Ximen March were written on it in rouge. "It's the word for March." Su Mengtang almost cried with joy. Xiang Kang asked, "Is the child at Shengge?" Qingxue heard that someone could call the name of "Shengge", she couldn't help but look at Xiang Kang, and said with a slight smile: "Childe is Lord Xiang of the patrol battalion?" ”

Xiang Kang was a little surprised and asked, "Do you know someone Xiang?" Qingxue smiled: "It's just you, I don't have to bother showing the way, you go and pick up the child, the truth will be revealed, I can't delay, I'm going to present the song." With that, he turned around and left, and everyone hurried to keep her. Su Mengtang said: "I don't know the girl's name yet, how can I thank you in the future?" ”

Qingxue shook her head and said: "Master Xiang sent someone to relieve the siege of Shengge three times and twice, I am grateful, I can be regarded as repaying the favor, there is no need to thank you." Xiang Kang heard this and felt a little proud: he didn't expect that in his prime, helping the shopkeeper Mao inadvertently became the key to finding the child.

Thinking of his own efforts, he was so taken to heart by the girls at the Shengge office, Xiang Kang said with a bit of heroism for a while: "Where are you going to perform the song, find the child today, the girl is the first achievement, I will say hello to the shopkeeper Mao, I don't have to be so tired today, let's go, I will go back to the Shengge place with you." ”

Unexpectedly, Qingxue politely refused: "No need, there is a distinguished guest in the Wanzhou Pavilion next door today, and the shopkeeper told me yesterday." If it is not a temporary substitution, it is a violation of the rules upstairs. I'm going to play, so go pick up the kids. After saying that, she was about to turn around, but Tong Ning'er directly grabbed her sleeve and said, "No, you can't go." ”
