Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Stormy City

"Han Ai~" Xu Shan kept his voice high, trying not to let the sound go far, and from time to time a subordinate walked by and quickly squatted down again.

"Did you find it?" Sheng Linyun struggled to stand up straight.

"Not yet!" Xu Shangao jumped down, clapped his hands, and threw his hair back, "Go down to the next yard." ”

"Don't, don't! I have a way of knowing where he is! Sheng Linyun hurriedly grabbed Xu Shangao, who was about to pick up bricks.

"Huh? What's the solution? Xu Shangao asked.

"Do you know how to climb trees?" Sheng Linyun said.

"Yes!"

"Look at this tree!" Sheng Linyun patted the big tree beside him, "Later, the higher you climb, the better, staring at the yard, I will deceive the housekeeper, where he goes, it means where Han Ai is!" ”

Xu Shan raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "Little clever ghost! ”

"Be careful when climbing!" Sheng Linyun said and ran towards the main gate of the Han Mansion, Xu Shan rubbed his head, and took three steps and two steps to the top of the tree, and his skills may indeed be family genes.

"Knock knock!" Sheng Linyun knocked on the door vigorously, "Someone! Is there anyone, I'll give your young master a money bag! ”

"Who? How bold do you know whose house this is? The housekeeper walked out of the door, Sheng Linyun was still looking in, and was pushed by the housekeeper, "Who are you?" Didn't I just tell you to leave? Any idea where this is? He pointed to the plaque with his thumb.

"Hey! Young Master Han Ai told me to come back and get the money bag with rose prints! Sheng Linyun said and hurriedly covered his mouth: "No! Be... Ahh He told me to go through the back door to find my mother..."Sheng Linyun hurriedly ran away after speaking.

The housekeeper frowned, "What kind of crazy kid is this... What are you looking for a mom, a money bag... Wrong! He just said Young Master Han Ai? Wrong! Wrong! I've got to see..."

The housekeeper hurriedly closed the door and walked towards the courtyard where Han Ai was.

"Mr. Xu! What do you think? Sheng Linyun shouted under the tree.

"I'm running! I guess I was fooled! Xu Shangao held the tree trunk and stared at the housekeeper of the Han Mansion in the courtyard, walked through the courtyard and entered again, bypassing the attic, and slowed down in a simple courtyard.

"Huh? The lock is still there! The housekeeper tiptoed close to the room facing Han Ai, for fear of being seen by Han Ai, after all, he was a young master, and if he begged himself to open the door by a subordinate, he would have to refuse, which would be offended in disguise.

Just as the housekeeper approached the window to take a look inside, Han Ai suddenly came out, "Butler!" Chamberlain! Did my father promise to let me out? ”

"Uh... Forehead! Master! No, a madman came out just now, what did he say to help you get a rose money bag, I thought you went out without telling the master~" The butler replied respectfully.

"Crazy?" Han Ai said softly, "Take the money bag? Rosebush? … Wall? ”

Han Ai pondered, looked out of the wall of the courtyard, and suddenly saw Xu Shangao standing on the big tree next to the wall, waving at him.

"Young master, I should go, otherwise the master will disturb you to think!" The housekeeper lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Han Ai.

Han Ai happily made a booing gesture to Xu Shangao: "Butler! You go first, if you don't want to let me go, don't bother me! ”

"Yes, young master!" The butler nodded and hurried away.

Xu Shangao, who was in the distance, climbed down the big tree and Sheng Linyun came to the wall of the courtyard where Han Ai was held.

"Linyun! Step on my shoulders! Xu Shan squatted down.

Sheng Linyun is not like Mo Wei who climbed up and down since he was a child, but at this time, he still stepped on Xu Shangao's shoulder and climbed up, and then Xu Shangao took a few steps back, and a sprint also went up the wall.

The two came to the courtyard and ran outside Han Ai's house.

"Han Ai! You've been found out about your participation in the Imperial Exam, right? Sheng Linyun asked.

"Hmm~ I said it myself, and it made my grandfather dizzy!" Han Ai leaned against the window in frustration.

Linyun said, and the lock had been opened.

"Where? Teach me too! Xu Shangao's eyes lit up.

"I read it in the book, hehe" Sheng Linyun smiled and said, "Han Ai, aren't you going to see your grandfather?" ”

"No need, when my father came yesterday, he said that grandpa was fine, but he was still angry, saying that he didn't want to see me!" Han Ai said with some hesitation, whether he wanted to escape or not.

"You decide this matter yourself, and we can't be the master" Sheng Linyun knew what Han Ai was thinking, and it was not easy to make a decision for him.

"Just one night... If you miss it, it's gone, and then face the wall! Han Ai said and came to the wall, "Uh... How did you get in? ”

"Come up!" Xu Shangao walked to the wall and patted his shoulder and said.

The trio easily climbed over the courtyard wall.

"What's next?" Xu Shangao asked.

"First... Let's go eat, I haven't eaten a bite in three days! Han Ai's stomach growled, and he suddenly felt a little unable to stand and let Sheng Linyun hold on.

The three of them thought of a place at the same time - Bangxia Pavilion.

In the Bangxia Pavilion, the maid carried various dishes to Sheng Linyun's house.

Han Ai couldn't care about everything and buried his head in eating, Xu Shangao actually fell asleep directly on the wine table, Sheng Linyun held his face with his right hand and thought about tonight's championship banquet.

"Will you see the emperor trembling again? Did the old man's two sentences persuade me again? When the time stops, it stops... Am I too eager? But for me, the more chaotic the situation, the more I can quietly control the lifeline, but there are also more crises! Sheng Linyun pondered.

"Linyun ~ cough cough, water! Water! Han Ai suddenly choked and knocked Sheng Linyun desperately with a chicken leg.

"Slow down! Slow down! I have to eat at night! Sheng Linyun poured water and hurriedly patted Han Ai's back.

"Night is the time for me to reverse my fate, how can I have the time to eat, now I must be solemn, ah!" After speaking, Han Ai continued to drive.

The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, several degrees of wind and rain and several times of sorrow, the night is coming, the lights are on, in Chang'an City, the most shocking feast in history - the championship banquet.

The palace gate is opened, nearly 10,000 students come to pay homage, Zhengyang Gate sets up three gates, set up a banquet in Hengjiuli, and erects a huge palace heavenly court for nine miles.

"Long En is mighty, all Lily comes to the court!" With the father-in-law's warning, the Zhengyang Gate was opened, the students entered the palace side by side, and sat down in an orderly manner according to the order of entering the palace, the emperor did not appear at this time, but no one dared to laugh loudly, the whole square reverberated with the sound of mighty steps, the Imperial Forest Army solemnly waited to surround the entire square, although the lanterns were hung high, but the solemn atmosphere made people shudder.

Sheng Linyun, Xu Shangao, and Han Ai were all together, and as soon as they entered the door, Sheng Linyun felt a sense of crisis enveloping him, but he couldn't find the reason, because of the posture of the Praetorian Guard? Not like! Because of the night? Neither is it! The emperor hasn't appeared yet, what are you afraid of?

"Mr. Xu, Han Ai, do you think it's weird?" Sheng Linyun asked.

"No! I don't know how many times I've been to this palace, I don't feel anything! Han Ai walked swaggeringly, very comfortable.

"I don't feel anything, haven't we all met the emperor? What is there to be nervous about! Xu Shangao said.

"I don't know, I feel a very serious sense of oppression, as if some danger is approaching!" Sheng Linyun frowned, trying his best to control his body, this time he was not trembling, and his hairs stood on end, and he rubbed his arms, "It's so cold!" ”

After the three of them took their seats with the eunuch's arrangement, Sheng Linyun kept observing the surroundings.

Han Ai secretly gave Sheng Linyun's cup some wine, "Linyun, if it's cold, drink some wine to warm up, don't worry, there is no safer place than the palace!" ”

"Hmm~" Sheng Linyun also thought that he was making a big fuss and might be the reason why he entered the palace for the first time.

The palace gate closed slowly, and Sheng Linyun stared at the gate intently, "No!" Wrong! There must be a reason, I have a very strong feeling! Sheng Linyun pinched the cup!

"What the hell is going on?" Han Ai moved the stool, approached Sheng Linyun, and looked around vigilantly.

Xu Shangao touched the fan of his mobile phone, with a serious expression, "Linyun, when you say this, I seem to feel a little sympathetic!" Just when the doors closed! ”

"Fence!" The three of them shouted softly at the same time.

"Han Ai, are there usually guards outside the palace?" Sheng Linyun asked nervously.

Han Ai shook his head, "There is never a defense outside the palace, only guards!" ”

"Linyun! Are you worried about what will happen outside the uterus? Xu Jiangyuan pinched the fan with a serious expression.

"Han Ai, you said that the officials within the imperial court are either corrupt or rotten, will they watch the emperor choose talents like this?" Sheng Linyun asked.

"No~" Han Ai shook his head.

"Since the results of the imperial examination came out, rumors have spread in the city, saying that someone is doing something in the imperial examination, but the emperor did not mention the top three on the imperial list, but immediately sent an invitation to thousands of students to win the championship..."

"What do you mean, some officials will do their tricks at banquets?" Han Ai asked.

"Are there any officials attending the banquet tonight except for the students?" Xu Shangao asked.

"I don't know, it's been three days!" Han Ai shook his head and said, affected by Sheng Linyun's emotions, Han Ai was also nervous, he was a little panicked, if he really wanted what Sheng Linyun said, what was the difference between it and rebellion?

"Dong Yu is a notoriously bad guy, but he has already gone to Lion Camel City, I'm afraid it's not Linyun that you're too nervous!" Han Ai still didn't want to admit it, but his eyes kept looking into the palace to see if there would be a big man coming out.

"From the beginning, I felt depressed, if someone outside the palace threw firearms into this imperial court, have you thought about the consequences?" Sheng Linyun lowered his voice, but he was very decisive.

"Linyun! Don't scare me, these are your unwarranted guesses! Han Ai's eyes widened, he couldn't imagine that Sheng Linyun would say such a speculation!

Sheng Linyun pointed to the guard standing on the roof of the Zichen Palace, "Who is that person in white armor?" ”

"That's the White Guard, the emperor's personal guard, these Imperial Guards and Praetorian Guards are all under his command!" Han Ai replied.

"Can you talk to him?" Sheng Linyun asked.

"I can try," Han Ai said, standing up.

"Sit down!" The guards who were patrolling back and forth not far away said to Han Ai.

"I know the white guard, I have something to say to him!" Han Ai said with a smile.

"Sit down!" The guard put his hand on the knife and said in an irresistible tone.

"What should I do?" Han Ai sat down and looked at Sheng Linyun...
