Early in the morning, as soon as the city gate was opened, a large number of people poured into the city.

The guards guarding the city gate were a little strange, and said to themselves: "Why do so many people enter the city during the Chinese New Year?" Could it be that there is something lively in the city? ”

"It's mostly because today's rich people in the city will throw copper coins to welcome the God of Wealth, and these poor people outside the city want to go in and pick up money." Said the companion next to him.

"That's right, since last year, there have been many displaced people who have fled near the capital, and the compassionate order has left them behind, and the poor sticks have no knowledge, so they know to run to the city." The guard said with a smile.

In front of the Chaoyong Mansion, the winter melon was sweeping the street with a big broom. Last night, on Chinese New Year's Eve, many children on the street came here to set off fireworks and make confetti.

Since Zhong Ye lost his official position, he sent away all the other subordinates in the mansion, and only him and Hulu were still left, but they were also clean and comfortable.

A thin figure ran all the way over, and before Donggua could see who it was, he had already run to the house.

"Eh, whose wild child are you? What to run around? The winter melon left his broom and chased after him: "What place should you be here?" ”

But the man ignored him, ran to Zhong Ye's bedroom, and kicked the door open.

Winter melon was shocked and shouted, "You stop me!" My grandfather hasn't gotten up yet! ”

But his shouting had no effect on the man, and the man went in in a flash.

With a cold wind, he rushed to Zhong Ye's bedside, and Zhong Ye had already sat up at this time, wearing only his middle coat and his hair was unkempt.

"Yining!" Zhong Ye recognized who the person was at a glance: "So urgent! ”

"Grandpa Zhong, I don't have time to explain to you, you must do what I say!" Wei Yining ran out of breath, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment: "The Tsing Yi Sect is going to rebel, their plan is very thorough, and I only found out what their true intentions are this morning." All the civil and military officials have to go to the palace to participate in the Yuan Day banquet, and you must intercept the prince of Duanwang and hide him in a safe place. I will follow the Tsing Yi sect members into the palace, and after you save the prince, find a way to gather some people into the palace, and don't make a noise in advance, because no one will believe you. And once the grass startles the snakes, it will only make them hibernate deeper, and it will be more difficult to catch them all. ”

"What did you say?!" Zhong Ye was indeed shocked: "Is the Tsing Yi Sect attacking the Imperial City?" That King Jing ......"

"If my guess is correct, he should be guilty." Wei Yining said: "Grandpa Zhong, I have to leave quickly, otherwise they will find out." By the way, you must wear armor when you enter the palace, be careful! ”

"Yining, it's too dangerous, you stay!" Zhong Ye grabbed Wei Yining and didn't let her go: "Everything has me, don't worry!" ”

"No, I have to go to the palace to meet someone." Wei Yining was as resolute as a stone: "I'll be fine, don't worry!" ”

But Zhong Ye still held her tightly, and Wei Yining couldn't break free at all.

"I'll wait for you in the palace." Wei Yining leaned over and hugged Zhong Ye, his cold body smelled of dew, and then he turned around and ran away while he was shaking.

"Hey~ Fifth girl......" Winter melon came to the door and happened to see that scene, and greeted Wei Yining with a red face: "Are you giving a blessing gift to our grandfather in the New Year?" ”

Wei Yining didn't have time to reply to his words.

"That...... Grandpa...... Am I here by accident? Winter melon scratched the back of his head and asked Zhong Ye.

"Bring my horse quickly!" Zhong Ye didn't have time to pay attention to him.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Zhong Ye knew that the palace door had been opened, and the hundred officials who participated in the Yuan Ri banquet according to the rules should have been ready to enter the palace.

He stepped on the horse and ran to the Duanwang Mansion, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't have time to dismount, so he asked the family guarding the door directly: "Where is the prince?" ”

"I've entered the palace! It's been a while. The family said: "If Grandpa wants to come, just wait for half a day!" The feast will not be dispersed until after noon. ”

Zhong Ye hated on the horse, and directly turned the horse's head and ran towards the palace.

Duanwang's Mansion was not too far from the palace, and Zhong Ye was really worried that the prince had already entered the palace.

When I passed, I saw Duanwang Shizi riding on a horse from a distance, and he was still a few steps away from the palace gate.

Zhong Ye shouted while urging the horse to run quickly: "The prince stays!" ”

At this time, there was the sound of firecrackers everywhere, and Qian Qianyi didn't hear Zhong Ye's shouts at all.

Dismount from your horse and prepare to hand over your horse to the guards guarding the door.

Suddenly, when he looked up, he saw that the branches of a willow on the side of the road seemed to be dyed green, so he paused and turned back and stretched out his hand to fold it.

With such an empty moment, Zhong Ye had already urged the horse to rush to him.

"Hey, old clock!" Qian Qianyi was a little surprised to see Zhong Ye: "Why are you here?" ”

"Shizi, can you take a step to speak?" Zhong Ye desperately suppressed his breath and asked, "It won't be long in waiting." ”

"Alright then, I'll be in time anyway." Qian Qianyi said, so he followed Zhong Ye to the corner of the palace wall next to him.

"Shizi, it's still inconvenient to talk here, let's go over there." Zhong Ye pointed into the distance.

"What the hell matters? It's so mysterious. Qian Qianyi asked.

"It's about the assassination of the prince." Zhong Ye said in a low voice.

"What?! What you say is true?! Qian Qianyi's eyes immediately widened.

"I've caught the murderer." Zhong Ye lied: "I want to wait until you finish the banquet before ......"

"What?! Go now! "The prince said that he couldn't wait that long.

"Then you'll have to go back and get up on the horse." Zhong Ye Road.

"I'll be able to ride a horse with you." Qian Qianyi was so anxious that he could take care of going back to ride a horse.

"Then I will be wronged by the prince." Zhong Ye's brow finally opened.

About a time later, Zhong Ye took Qian Qianyi to an abandoned garden to see that no one had dismounted on the left and right.

"Is it right here?" Qian Qianyi jumped off the horse and asked.

"Right here, let's go inside." Zhong Ye said that he had already walked in from the broken wall, and Qian Qianyi hurriedly followed.

Zhong Ye looked at the environment, felt that it was safe enough, and said: "The prince of the world has offended, the situation is really urgent, and Zhong has to lie." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qian Qianyi jumped back in fright.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Zhong Ye stepped forward as he spoke, lifted him up, and then ignored the fierce resistance of the prince, easily tied him up and gaged him again.

"I'm afraid there will be changes in the palace, if you go to the banquet, you will be sent to death." Zhong Ye said: "It's safer here." ”

As he spoke, he found a big tree hole and gently put Qian Qianyi into it.

"When it's safe, Zhong will come and take you out again." Zhong Ye looked at him and promised, "If I unfortunately die, I will also call the winter melon and gourd, don't worry." ”
