Chapter Seventy-One: The Burning of the Palace (Part II)
After bringing the two into the room, Huo Qingxin cautiously looked at the remaining guards in the courtyard.
Seeing that none of them were too close to this room, she was relieved.
Su Jianxiang saw that she was so careful, and as soon as she entered the room, she hurriedly asked.
"What's the matter, there are many more guards in this courtyard today than there were two days ago."
In the past few days, the courtyard where Huo Qingxin lived came and went freely, and no one else stopped him, why was he blocked out by these people today.
Huo Qingxin pulled Su Jianxiang into the inner room and explained.
"They forced me to take over the position of palace master at the Hundred Flowers Festival today. Everything on the surface of this Hundred Flowers Palace is at the behest of the palace master. In fact, for so many years, it has been an elder named Fu Rong who has been in charge of the affairs of the palace. He was afraid that I would make a move before the ceremony, so he sent more men to watch over me beforehand. ”
In the current form, if you want to escape, it will take a lot of trouble.
Turning his gaze to the man he hadn't seen in a few days, he asked.
"Why did you come back" Didn't he go back to Gusu with Wen Xun.
Ji Chen smiled and said jokingly.
"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"
Huo Qingxin heard this joke, and rolled his eyes helplessly, when was he still in the mood to laugh.
"That's right, when I become the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, I can spend my whole life thinking about you"
The two people in the room who heard these words had their own feelings in their hearts.
Ji Chen put away his banter and took over.
"In the past few days, I have been investigating the situation around the Hundred Flowers Palace. In the evening, the festival of the Hundred Flowers festival is held at the altar, which is near the southwest corner and behind it is a moat. If you want to escape, you have to flee through that river. ”
Hearing this, Huo Qingxin nodded subconsciously, this method was similar to what she discussed with Huo Ying earlier.
It's just that now it's not just her who is trapped here, but also Su Jianxiang.
If one of them stays here, the other won't leave.
This makes it more difficult to escape.
After thinking about it, she proposed, "Ji Chen, you send Jianxiang out first, otherwise if you really act at night, I'm afraid it won't be good to get out." ”
If she really wants to leave from that moat, she is familiar with water, but Su Jianxiang is not watery at all.
She couldn't take her on an adventure, she had to let her go first.
Ji Chen also felt that this made sense, it was already very difficult to escape alone, but if two people were together, it would undoubtedly be even more difficult.
Although Su Jianxiang was very worried about Huo Qingxin, she also knew that if she stayed here, it would only increase Huo Qingxin's troubles.
After a moment of thought, she replied.
"Good! I'll go first! This way, you can also have no worries. It's just that if I leave now, will it arouse the suspicion of others? ”
If you don't leave early or late, but you leave in such a festival, anyone will have doubts.
Huo Qingxin has his own opinions, "You don't have to worry about this, I just want them to be suspicious, so that I can spread suspicions and let them not know where I will leave from." ”
"Then you must be careful by yourself!"
"I know, after you go out, go and meet my father first, so that you can take care of it"
Two days ago, Huo Ying had left the Hundred Flowers Palace under her persuasion.
Only when everyone around her has left, can she give it a go.
At this time, Ji Chen took over again, "I have already seen Master Huo Zhuang outside the palace, and he has already dug a secret passage by the moat with Fengyang, Li Yong and the people I brought. Master Huo said that you have been familiar with water since you were a child, and at the sacrificial ceremony, I will have people ignite the explosives that have been buried in advance to create chaos. You take advantage of the chaos. Under the altar, go down the dug tunnel to the moat, and someone will meet you on the shore. ”
When Huo Qingxin heard this, he was surprised and said, "Fengyang and Li Yong didn't go back to Gusu?" ”
In the past few days, she has scolded these two people in private, and she has made so many delicious pastries for them before.
Unexpectedly, without her knowing, she patted her ass and left, how could she appear again.
"Well, they've been looking around here for a suitable place to dig a tunnel."
Hearing this, Huo Qingxin couldn't help muttering in his heart, even if these two guys still have a little conscience.
After the three of them talked a few more words, Su Jianxiang and Ji Chen left.
Tonight, I don't know what kind of uproar will happen.
Huo Qing's heart was a little nervous, and he was a little bottomless.
She hadn't asked Wen Wen until now, although at this time, she very much wished that the man could be here.
At this moment, Wen Xun, who had already rushed to the Baihua Palace, was found by Fengyang, who was ambushed nearby, and was successfully taken away.
Under the joint efforts of Li Yong and Huo Ying, his body eased a little.
Huo Ying was even more puzzled, how could the dignified sect master of the Medicine King Sect become so weak.
"Sect Master Wen, what's wrong with you, how can you be so weak?"
Wen Xun didn't say the real reason, but said that it was caused by fighting with the demons in Rongcheng before and hurting his vitality.
Hearing him say this, although Huo Ying was skeptical, he didn't ask too much.
I just told him about the current plan.
I heard that they were going to create chaos by detonating explosives at the sacrificial ceremony to get Huo Qingxin out.
Wen Xun was a little disagreeing, and he was even more relieved, letting Huo Qingxin face these alone.
He decided to go into the Hundred Flowers Palace to find out, and even to participate in tonight's Hundred Flowers Festival.
With his identity as the sect master of the Medicine King Sect, participating in their sacrificial ceremony, the elders of the Hundred Flowers Palace should not be more obstructed.
Although it seems that everything is well planned now, it is inevitable that other accidents will occur, if Huo Qingxin is allowed to complete the sacrificial ceremony, it will be equivalent to taking over the position of palace master.
At that time, it will no longer be as simple as escaping.
Huo Qingxin's whole life will be controlled by the Hundred Flowers Palace, no matter how she escapes to the ends of the earth.
The outside world may not know what this sacrificial ceremony is, but Wen Xun was fortunate enough to see this sacrificial ceremony in the early years.
The new palace master has to take a poison in order to control her from betraying the Hundred Flowers Palace.
If Huo Qingxin took that poison, he didn't know if it would cause any reaction in his body.
The more Wen Xun thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and after his physical strength had recovered somewhat, he was going to find Huo Qingxin.
This made Feng Yang and Li Yong a little worried, if it weren't for the fact that there were people outside now, they would definitely follow Wen Xun in.
But when Wen Xun left, he had already given the order for the two of them to answer outside.
If there is any emergency in the palace, he will send a signal to send them in to help.
It's just that right now, what they don't know is that Fu Rong, the elder of the Hundred Flowers Palace, wants tonight's Hundred Flowers Festival and the succession ceremony to go smoothly.
A notice has been issued, and everyone in the Hundred Flowers Palace is only allowed to enter today, not to go out.
When Ji Chen was about to send Su Jianxiang out, he was stopped by a group of guards.
Their argument is that everything will have to wait until after the end of the Hundred Flowers Festival tonight.
Ji Chen didn't expect that Fu Rong would leave such a hand.
Su Jianxiang couldn't get out, so he had no choice but to go back and find another way.
The plan can't catch up with the changes, Su Jianxiang can't leave, so the way to leave by water tonight is not feasible.
All of a sudden, the situation was at an impasse again.
And just when the two of them were about to discuss with Huo Qingxin again, they happened to meet Wen Xun who had just arrived.
As soon as Su Jianxiang saw him, he hurriedly asked about Wen Zhe's situation.
Hearing that Wen Zhe was now fine, she was relieved.
When the three of them returned to the courtyard where Huo Qingxin lived, at this time, in her room, a gentle and beautiful young woman came.
It's better to come early than to come by chance, this young woman is Fu Rong's only daughter, Fu Ying!
She followed Fu Rong's instructions to come and see the new palace master.
The two of them are of the same age, and there are not so many barriers to communication.
Huo Qingxin looked at this kind-faced girl, as if she had seen Su Jianxiang, which made people feel very cordial when she saw her.
Seeing that she was about to salute, Huo Qingxin hurriedly came up to stop her, "You are the same age as me, so you don't have to salute me." ”
Fu Ying, as her name suggests, smiles and makes the flowers fade.
"Although the palace master said so, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, Fu Ying still has to bow according to the rules, otherwise, if my father knows, he will scold me again"
It is said that the gentle township, the hero's mound, the honey is like a knife, and the knife kills.
It's probably a woman like Fu Ying...
Huo Qing didn't believe it before, it was because she and Su Jianxiang were not such people, but when she saw Fu Ying today, she finally believed it.
This woman's glance and smile, although her words are similar to Su Jianxiang, they are different from Su Jianxiang.
She didn't say anything more, and let Fu Ying salute her.
After Fu Ying got up, she still had a polite smile on her face.
I don't know if she looks like this on weekdays, or if she deliberately shows it like this in front of her.
He asked directly, "You came to me, but what's the matter?"
Fu Ying smiled and said, "I'm a woman's family, what's the matter, it's just that the palace master has just arrived, and my father specially asked me to come and have a look." The palace master also told me just now, we are of the same grade, if there is any need or trouble, if the palace master can afford Fu Ying, he may as well tell me. I'm also good to solve problems for the palace master. ”
This time he was knowledgeable and reasonable, and he was relaxed and moderate, Huo Qingxin gradually had a headache when he listened.
Xu is rude and worldly on weekdays, listening to this crepe words made her feel uncomfortable.
Laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, I don't have anything to worry about, I eat well here, sleep well, it's no different from raising pigs, what do I have to worry about"
But it was such a captive day that made her feel a little flustered inexplicably, for fear that one day she would be sent to the slaughterhouse to be slaughtered.
When Fu Ying heard this, she rolled up her sleeves, covered the lower half of her face, and chuckled.
"The palace master is really a heroine among women, Fu Ying really admires it"
When Huo Qingxin saw this, he couldn't help but think that if Su Jianxiang was there, he would definitely count her down.
Let her see, this is what her daughter's house should look like, like she spends all day like a savage tomboy.
She asked bluntly, "How old are you this year, but you have a lot of people?"
As soon as she heard this question, Fu Ying's face, which was already white and red, would turn red.
replied shyly, "I just turned sixteen this year, and I haven't had a marriage contract yet."
"Oh...
So that's the case, Huo Qingxin couldn't help but look at her with some meaning.
is still a year younger than her, looking at this knowledgeable appearance and temperament, it looks like a thirty-year-old woman.
This Fu Rong, how did he raise his daughter like this.
I don't know what kind of husband Fu Rong wants to give his daughter in the future.
At this time, the door opened again, and seeing Su Jianxiang who had gone and returned, Huo Qingxin couldn't help but be a little confused.
When she saw the tall man who came in with her at the end, her heart moved, and even her heartbeat accelerated a lot.
He's back...
