Chapter 240: Marrying the Princess
The western district of the capital, where outsiders live, is chaotic, the population flows greatly, and the houses are messy.
In the western area of Beijing, the night wind is cold, and the moon on the firmament is like a beautiful piece of mutton fat jade, a white jade plate, expanding a faint halo, and a light like hoarfrost, falling on the road, lighting up the complex road conditions in the western district for pedestrians.
"Remember? Just do it, go! ”
In the deep alley, more than a dozen people from the rivers and lakes gathered together, they were wearing the cheapest linen clothes, the knife on the waist was simple in workmanship, but the material was very good, and in the night light, the blade also reflected a trace of cold moonlight.
After a close discussion with each other, they finally decided on their goal and left the alley one after another.
"Click"
A footprint stepped on the eaves, and the people passing by had already drifted away, and a dark cloth fell off the corner of the beam under the eaves.
Then a man with messy hair appeared in the alley, picked up the black cloth, and looked around curiously.
This person is tall, although he is disheveled and uninhibited, his face is handsome.
Just this one, turning all his shortcomings into advantages.
Don't tie your hair? Are people dissolute and disheveled? That's called informality!
A good-looking face perfectly counteracts the rest of the negative image.
Who is this person? It was none other than the son of luck in this world, Huo Yin.
To say that Huo Yin didn't deliberately eavesdrop, he originally came to the capital and met the first Oiran in the capital, and the Oiran had to compete with him in martial arts, and if he lost, he had to be the minister under the skirt.
Huo Yin, this person, he is a little confidante, but the relationship is mostly reasonable, where have you ever seen such a bold woman? was really annoyed, Huo Yin had no choice but to hide.
Who knew that this hiding actually allowed him to learn such a shocking secret.
There is such a group of people who want to go to the palace to steal the "Wushan Cloud and Mist Map".
What is the Wushan cloud map?
In fact, the Wushan cloud and fog map is an ink painting, which was painted by the Confucian surnamed Fang three hundred years ago, and the real work is in the palace.
Painting is a good painting, and all the scholars and writers who have seen it are all amazed and admired.
But it was also this painting that caused disputes in the rivers and lakes.
Fifty years ago, the Wushan cloud painting caused a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, and there were rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was a treasure map, and as long as the treasure was found, it could sit on countless riches.
Whether there is a treasure or not, no one knows.
But the killing caused by this painting shocked everyone, and anyone who had anything to do with it would eventually be killed.
The last owner sent it to the palace.
The tens of thousands of masters in the palace are not just talking, after the Wushan Cloud and Mist Map fell into the palace, everyone extinguished the idea of snatching.
"It's fun now, if the treasure map really comes out, I'm afraid the rivers and lakes will be in turmoil again!"
As soon as the night breeze blew in the alley, the messy long hair fluttered, Huo Yin's rough big hand touched his waist, the long sword on his waist shook slightly, and then the others disappeared into the alley.
In this dark night, Huo is ghostly.
He followed one of them not far away, and when he saw someone break into the palace, Huo Yin looked thoughtfully for a moment, and after finding that there were no guards in this place, he also ran in.
After entering the palace, Huo Yin discovered how tightly guarded this palace was.
Janissaries can be seen patrolling almost every short distance.
The strength of those guards is not low, and they can be regarded as young talents if they are put in the rivers and lakes one by one.
The group of people who wanted to steal the Wushan Cloud Mist Map had already clearly arranged the location and time of the guards' patrol, and they avoided the guards without any effort and came to the Treasure Pavilion.
Huo Yin followed all the way, he had good light skills, and after several dodges, neither the thief nor the guards found out about his existence.
After following the people to the Treasure Pavilion, Huo Yin found that the atmosphere in the Treasure Pavilion was not quite right.
He didn't appear rashly, but hid and observed.
It turned out that at this time, in the Treasure Pavilion, there was not only a thief, but also an unplanned person.
The man's demeanor was majestic, his attitude was calm, he was in his twenties, and he was not angry and arrogant between his eyebrows, and he was naturally noble.
Behind this person is an old eunuch, with an ugly old face like tree bark, and a pair of eyes like poisonous snakes, which makes people look uncomfortable.
"Earlier, someone shouted that I should be careful that someone is making trouble, and sure enough, it is a person in the rivers and lakes again."
Fang Shihe looked at the dozen or so people from the rivers and lakes who rushed to the Treasure Pavilion, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his smile was particularly sarcastic.
"Over the years, there are no worse people who want to steal the Wushan Cloud and Mist Map."
Li Nian bent down slightly, not taking these people seriously at all.
"Damn, did someone betray us?"
These people were astonished, angry in their hearts, but they did not dare to act rashly.
They knew very well that Li Nian was not so easy to deal with, even if Fang Shihe was an unarmed monarch, as long as Li Nian was still alive, they wouldn't want to attack Li Nian.
"You guys are underestimating the intelligence network of the imperial court."
Fang Shihe took down a picture scroll from the bookshelf, and his tone could not hide his disappointment: "I thought there would be people worthy of Zhao'an, but I didn't expect that they would all be rabble, Li Nian, deal with them all." ”
"The minions obey."
……。
Huo Yin, who was stealing and peeking outside the Treasure Pavilion, was glad that he didn't appear easily.
Li Nian can be said to be a crushing slap in the face to those thieves.
What kind of formation, swordsmanship, in front of Li Nian's unpretentious boxing method, is all scum, and the weapon encounters the true qi on the fist, and it directly collapses inch by inch.
The leader was directly thrown two meters away by a palm, hitting the pillar and coughing up blood.
"Old dog! You don't have to die well! ”
The leader stood up tremblingly, and blood spurted at Li Nian.
Li Nian had disgust on his face, he avoided the blood mist, his dry hand covered the man's Tianling cover, and with a shock with one hand, the man immediately fell to the ground in anger.
"Noise."
Li Nian looked coldly at the corpse at his feet.
The human beings in the small world, except for those who are sheltered by luck, he can't move, and the other miscellaneous fish, in his eyes, are like radishes and vegetables, they are all existences that can be cut and killed at will.
"That look, why do you look so familiar?."
Huo Yin stared at Li Nian's eyes, he looked carefully, looked seriously, and constantly recalled all the memories about those eyes in his mind.
Although Li Nian's loose eyelids blocked most of his eyes, he couldn't stop that strange look.
"That's right! Picture! Who is Brother Fang looking for? ”
Such a thought floated in Huo Yin's heart, and as soon as this thought rose, he couldn't press it back.
"Who gave you the route and the changing of the guard?"
Fang Shihe looked at the other people who were defeated, and he asked calmly, not caring at all about the hateful eyes of those people.
"Phew! The Wushan cloud map is not yours in the first place, the villain who usurps other people's property! Faint! ”
Those defeated guys saw that the theft was hopeless, so they naturally broke the jar and smashed, and spit out any cursing words.
They glared at them, craned their necks, and shouted angrily:
"That cloud map is a painting that records the wealth of our family! The faint king is hateful!. ”
"The Fang family's descendants have been dead for many years, and you are embarrassed to pretend to be reckless?"
Fang Shihe held his forehead as if he had heard a funny joke, and a trace of eye lines appeared at the corners of his eyes: "I'm afraid I don't even know how to write poetry and songs, Fang everyone is afraid that they will be angry with you to death." ”
Those people listened to this mocking words and said, "We are the side branch ...... of the Fang family. ”
This was just a subconscious rebuttal, but they remembered the reputation of that great Confucian, and then thought about their own literacy, and they were speechless for a while.
"You keep saying that this thing is a treasure map, but in my opinion, it is just an ordinary landscape painting."
Fang Shihe shook the scroll in his hand.
When he got the scroll, the imperial court immediately sent someone to investigate the authenticity, but after so many years, nothing was found at all.
"It's also interesting to sacrifice life and death for the sake of a painting."
"If you borrow a painting, if you are offended, disrespectful, disrespectful."
As he spoke, a figure suddenly jumped in from the window, and a ghostly floated in, quickly taking away the scroll.
"I didn't expect that there are still people in the secret?"
Fang Shihe looked at Li Nian in surprise.
"This person has done a lot of effort, and he has been holding his breath and lurking, and the slave has been negligent."
Li Nian immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake and chased him out.
Originally, Huo Yin had been hiding outside, and then deliberately held his breath, Li Niancai neglected the situation outside.
"Don't kill anyone!"
Fang Shihe didn't expect that someone would be so high that he could hide Li Nian.
That's a rare master!
This unexpected joy lifted Fang Shihe's spirits.
——————————————————
Huo Yin's light skills were very good, but he didn't have the confidence to fight against Li Nian, he took the picture scroll and led Li Nian all the way to the palace with few people, only then did he stop and turn to face the people who were chasing him.
"Your Majesty said, stay alive, if you run again, I will break your leg."
Only then did Li Nian see Huo Yin's appearance clearly.
Although this person is dressed in a messy manner and his hair is loose and loose, his appearance is very handsome, his expression is chic and free, and the luck on his body is naturally dazzling to make Li Nian salivate.
"I've run enough, it's time to fight."
Huo Yin originally wanted to take the sword, but suddenly thought of the thieves in the Treasure Pavilion, whose swords were easily broken, he chose to use three broken silver as hidden weapons to eject.
Li Nian avoided the hidden weapon, his hands were lucky, and he pulled into Huo Yin's chest like a bamboo, this move was extremely simple and domineering, if he was hit, it would be either death or injury.
Huo Yin put away his playful look, took a few steps back, and struck the meridians on Li Nian's arm with both hands.
saw that Li Nian's hand was bent like a snake, and he avoided Huo Yin's hand and hit it straight.
Seeing that there is no way to avoid it, it is about to be injured under the palm.
Huo Yin was really angry and wanted to use his internal strength to resist this blow.
No, as soon as Li Nian's hand hit his robe, Yu Peiju, who was hidden in Huo Yin's shirt, blocked the blow.
"What's that?"
Li Nian quickly retracted his fist, as if he had been suddenly burned, and screamed.
Huo Yin was stunned for a long time before he remembered that he had a jade pendant in his arms.
He hurriedly threw away the jade pendant and the scroll, and said with a smile:
"I was originally entrusted by someone to send something, not to deliberately seize the Wushan Cloud and Mist Painting, but now that the matter is done, I am also leaving." With a single word, his figure had disappeared into the high-walled compound.
Li Nian had the heart to chase after him, but he was smashed by the jade pendant, and the kind of burning that penetrated deep into the soul made him wary and didn't dare to touch the jade pendant again.
It's just that how did Li Nian know that as soon as he attacked Huo Yin and touched the jade pendant, a group of special forces had already infiltrated its body, slowly destroying its existence.
————————————————————
finally got rid of the old eunuch who was a headache, but Huo Yin couldn't run out of the palace, because he was tragically lost on the way to escape! There is no map in the palace, and it covers a huge area, Huo Yin ran for most of the day, but he couldn't find where the exit was.
"Well, it's a problem!"
Huo Yin flew all the way, sitting on the roof casually, not far in front of him was the lamp-lit Ben Wuxiang, at first Huo Yin thought it was outside the palace.
As a result, it took two hours to find that this was just a place to play in the palace.
Huo Yin, who knew this situation, was really speechless.
I didn't expect that young emperor to be so good at playing.
"Who are you? How on the roof? ”
At this moment, a female voice as crisp as a yellow oriole appeared behind Huo Yin, and when he looked back, he saw that the woman in the goose yellow dress was standing easily in the corner of the roof, with a curious face.
"I'm from outside, and I accidentally got lost, you won't be the palace maid here, right?"
Huo Yin has never been very wary of women, and when faced with inquiries, he naturally answered easily.
"I'm Concubine Hui, not a palace maid, I heard footsteps down just now, so I came up to take a look."
Nan Mengyao rarely saw a person from the rivers and lakes, and the excitement on her face could not be concealed: "I have lived here for so long, you are the first person from the rivers and lakes to appear, and I have also participated in the martial arts conference before." ”
"Martial arts conference? Palace concubine? ”
Huo Yin's eyes widened slightly, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes for so long, what kind of woman has not seen it, but he has really never seen a woman who can be carried to the palace as a concubine! .
Generally speaking, it is rare for people in the court to marry chivalrous women.
They may cross paths, but they will never live together.
"You are so dignified, how can you be a concubine in the palace?"
Huo Yin couldn't help but be curious.
It's not that it's bad to be a concubine, but with his understanding, chivalrous ladies rarely choose the house of the eunuch or the scholarly family, because the life and attitude are too bad.
"Well, don't say it, I'm not unlucky?"
Nan Mengyao sat on the side, didn't see outside, and directly told her experience one by one.
Huo Yin quietly acted as an earpiece.
After listening to it for a long time, he realized that Nan Mengyao's identity was the daughter of Shangshu and Fang Li's relative who had an accident at the martial arts conference.
For this bizarre change, he was embarrassed.
It turns out that even Nan Mengyao, who seems to be dashing, has things that have to be taken care of behind her.
"By the way, aren't you looking for an exit? It just so happens that I've been observing the palace for a long time lately, and I've drawn a rudimentary map, so you can use it to leave. ”
Pouring out the things in her heart, Nan Mengyao's depressed mood was a little better, she flew downstairs and took a piece of white silk cloth, which was painted with gold dust on a simple figure, but she could see how the route was.
"Thank you for your help." Huo Yinzheng was worried that he couldn't get out, so naturally he wouldn't refuse this help: "Then don't go here now." ”
