Chapter 129: A thief in the middle of the night

Along the root of the wall, the guards who dodged back and forth patrolled went straight to the courtyard wall of the backyard of the palace. Then, I climbed over the wall, and came to the north corner gate of the nearest palace back garden with my memory, and went out of the palace again.

At this time, it was already late at night, but the moonlight was very good, and there were wind lanterns hanging at certain intervals on both sides of the street, so it did not prevent Ning Shangmo from walking.

Yes, she kept looking at the shops on both sides, and the faΓ§ade was okay, not as simple as Yun Yishu said. Moreover, some pharmacies and liquor stores, etc., are still open, and there seem to be customers inside.

Although this side is not as prosperous as Daling, after all, it is the Xiliang Royal Court, even if the door is simple, the business is still prosperous.

She walked down the street, but fortunately, it was not as complicated as the Daling capital city, and she would get lost. It seems that only this main road is the most lively, while the other small alleys are mostly residential buildings.

As early as when she was in Daling Capital, she had heard about the situation here. The Xiliang Royal Court is long and narrow, unlike the boxy capital of Daling, which has four city gates. There are only two gates on this side.

After walking about a mile, she noticed a particularly lively door, and there seemed to be some dressed women standing in front of it. She subconsciously looked up and saw the fluttering yellow banner with a large red font written on it, Mandarin Duck Tower.

She couldn't help laughing, it should be a green building, it seems that even in the Xiliang Royal Court, these shops can't be missing.

So, she pulled off her towel and walked in. Although the men dressed in black serve in Xiliang, they are not conspicuous.

"Uncle, you're here, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the slave family misses you so much." A bewitching woman walked over, completely calming Mo's arm, and smiled affectionately.

Listening to the accent, it turned out to be Da Lingren, she couldn't help but be stunned, did she meet an acquaintance? But it's not right, how did she become an uncle? Besides, except for the Qinglou in the painting garden, she has never been to another house.

Maybe he recognized the wrong person, Ning Shangmo shook his head and smiled, pushed her away without speaking, and continued to walk inside.

But he didn't want the girl to follow, and said angrily: "Uncle, have you forgotten the slave family? Come, follow me back to the room, the slave family will let you get to know each other. ”

Ning Shangmo finally stood up and asked lightly, "Do I know you?" ”

"Hey, uncle, don't you know each other when you come here?" The girl smiled coquettishly and continued to take her arm.

Ning Shangmo finally understood, he didn't know her, but he regarded it as an acquaintance. Could it be that all the women in the Qinglou solicit guests like this? After all, she is a woman, and she is the eldest lady of Ningfu, the eldest princess in the palace, except for the time when she entered the painting building of the painting garden in order to push off her marriage with Ming Qingyan, she has never been to other green buildings.

"You go and greet the other guests, I'll just go in myself." Ning Shangmo naturally changed his words, saying that he didn't like her and wanted to find other girls.

But I didn't want the girl to stick to her, and said with a flattering smile: "The girls are all guests today, if it weren't for the slave's body being uncomfortable and lying on the bed, I'm afraid that the uncle would be alone at this time." ”

"So, I'm going to thank you?" Ning Shangmo stretched out his hand as he said and pinched her chin: "Are you a big bully?" ”

"Yes, isn't Uncle also my big bully?" The girl's face was happy, the rules of the Qinglou here, if the guests do not take the initiative to mention it, they are not allowed to ask about the roots.

She had already heard Ning Shangmo's accent, and she didn't dare to ask.

Ning Shangmo nodded and pulled her inside. Then he found a room and sat down, and beckoned Xiao Er to serve wine and food.

And the woman waited diligently on the side, and during the conversation she knew that the girl's name was Ying'er, and that her father and mother had died of a plague, and she was forced to live here.

Ning Shangmo's respect for her made her dare not do anything to her again. On the contrary, I chatted with her very affectionately about the customs here. After all, the Xiliang Royal Court is much smaller than the Daling Capital City, as a person in the Qinglou, he receives guests from all over the world, and his ears hear things from all directions, so he knows everything about the royal court.

Ning Shangmo knew a lot of things she wanted to inquire about from her mouth, including that the second prince Chu Yue was expanding the women's guard team today, and many girls were going to sign up.

"Women's guards? Could it be that the men of Xiliang are so incompetent that they let women go to war? Ning Shangmo asked puzzled.

"No, the Xiliang man is tough, and he is more rude than my Da Ling man. Of course, they can't compare to my Da Ling's cleverness, and their natural national strength can't compare to my Da Ling's prosperity. Ying'er praised Da Ling very proudly, it seems that she is very proud of being a Da Ling person.

After a slight pause, he continued: "The second prince's female guard is actually a kabuki, but it is a dance of fiddling with swords, but it is a bit of a fist and embroidered legs, which is not practical at all, and it cannot be used on the battlefield. But those officials like to watch women dance in armor, especially His Majesty Emperor Xiliang, who is even more appreciative of this. ”

"Could it be that they think that such a group of women with swords and fooling around are soldiers all over the country?" Ning Shangmo couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"Who said it wasn't, there are a lot of rare things in this Xiliang Royal Court, I'll tell you everything." Ying'er saw that she was happy to hear it, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's not ......"

After the words, she didn't continue, but stared at Ning Shangmo with blank eyes.

Ning Shangmo understood, took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it on the table.

Ying'er put away the silver and continued to talk about what the royal court had seen and heard.

When Ning Shangmo came out of the Mandarin Duck Tower, it was already nearly five watches, and when the night was cool, she couldn't help but speed up her pace and walk back. But I don't want to suddenly rush out of a person.

Caught off guard, she was hit by the acupoint, and her whole body was numb, and she couldn't move. But in my heart, I knew very well, and I couldn't help but sigh: "My life is on hold, I'm afraid that I met a thief blocking the road in the middle of the night, if it is a robbery, it is fine, if it is a robbery, it is ......."

So thinking about it, she secretly tried her best to break through the acupoints, but she couldn't lift the qi of the dantian at all.

Try to bite your tongue, but you can't do it, you can't die, is God really going to kill me? Ning Shangmo couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, but other than that, he had no ability to fight.

The man carried her, his toes lightly, and he swept forward quickly, and the light work was excellent.

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but wonder, Xiliang men are all reckless men and use brute force, how can anyone be so good at light work? Could it be Da Ling or a native of Northern Mongolia?

If Da Ling still has a glimmer of life, she can't help but have a glimmer of hope in her heart.

After walking for about half an hour, the man finally stopped in front of a mansion. He seemed to think a little, and instead of going through the main door, he carried her over the wall and entered.

Such a high-ranking family should not be an ordinary family. When Ning Shangmo was carried into the room, it became clear that the person who robbed her was also dressed in black and covered with a black scarf.

The interior of the house is richly decorated, and this bedroom is worthy of a royal palace. A thought immediately popped up in her mind, could it be that this person was the second prince Chu Yue? Could it be that he was followed by him as soon as he went out?

Thinking that when he was in Daling, he was ambiguous about her words and deeds, and now that it is in his hands, and no one else knows, Ning Shangmo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the consequences were unimaginable.

However, she was pointed at the acupoint, and she couldn't move at all.

The man took off his black clothes, then took off his black face scarf, turned to look at Ning Shangmo, and sure enough, it was Chu Yue, the second prince.

Ning Shangmo's eyes bloomed with a frightened look, he wanted to shake his head but couldn't move, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, he could only stare at him fiercely.

Chu Yue took a step forward, stretched out his hand to unlock her acupoint, and said with a smile: "Shang Mo, offended." ”

"You, what do you want?" Ning Shangmo hugged her arms and stepped back, so late at night, she was taken into the bedroom by a man, how could she not be afraid? Moreover, Chu Yue's martial arts she has seen and seen, and she is definitely above her.

What's more, this is his mansion again, and there are his people everywhere, even if she can escape from him, can she escape from this prince's mansion? Thinking that the task of celebrating the birthday has not yet been completed, it is very likely that the envoy of Beimeng will also come to the Xiliang Royal Court. If he provoked Chu Yue and was killed by him, wouldn't he force Emperor Xiliang to unite with Beimeng? In this way, she is in danger.

No, such a thing must not be allowed to happen.

Ning Shangmo tried her best to calm herself, no matter what, today she has to know the benefits, move with affection, and find ways to get out of the way, this is the responsibility she must fulfill as the eldest princess of Daling.

"On weekdays, my father protects you very carefully, and it is inconvenient for me to meet you, and I am afraid that the prince will be suspicious. In fact, I think about you all the time. Shang Mo, you still have to ...... us once did" Chu Yue said and walked into Ning Shangmo, reaching out to try to hold her hand.

Ning Shangmo subconsciously dodged away, twisted his body and smiled: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I don't remember." What's the matter, tell me quickly, it's late, I have to go back and rest. ”

"Can't remember? Can't you remember it at all? Chu Yue asked in disappointment.

Ning Shangmo nodded very seriously, she really didn't remember at all. She really wanted to know what had happened, what he had to do with Chu Yue, and why was he so affectionate to her? And why is the white jade pendant she once made on the border of Northern Mongolia in his hands?

It was a jade pendant that she had sent someone to carefully build, with a mark she had specially made on it, and it was extremely cherished. It's just that she didn't know how to lose her memory, and she forgot this jade pendant, if it wasn't for the envoy of Beimeng to give her, she wouldn't remember such a thing at all.

Why does she have a headache when she sees the jade pendant, and what kind of experience has this jade pendant brought her? Ning Shangmo was really puzzled, and she also wanted to find out, which was also one of the reasons why she came to Xiliang Royal Court, just to ask Chu Yue to understand.

But definitely not today, if she doesn't go back, someone will find out, and she won't want to sneak out at night in the future.

"I'm sorry, I really can't remember, let's talk again tomorrow, I'll come out early and make an appointment to meet somewhere." As he spoke, Ning Shangmo arched his hand at him and was about to leave.

But he didn't want Chu Yue to rush to the door in a few steps and locked the door, "Don't leave today, we finally met and have a good relationship." With that, he walked into Ning Shangmo and stretched out his hand to hug her.

"Stop, don't move! I'm the prime minister's wife, please be respectful to the second prince. Ning Shangmo turned around and jumped to the side, grabbed a thing casually, and didn't care to see what it was, and shouted at Chu Yue sharply.
