Chapter 101: Breaking the Siege
Nian Tong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You're very good at laughing, so I might as well make fun of you?" yes, did you just see Ji Sheng look at your face? ”
"I..." Qu still immediately lost his aura just now, and his face turned red.
"Tut-tut, although I said that you should be careful, but in fact, you are alone in your eyes." Nian Tong said, "I originally thought that it was impossible for a person like Jisheng to have someone he liked, but I didn't expect him to be tempted by you... Our charm is still very great. ”
"Don't talk about it." Qu still said coquettishly.
"So, why were you so angry when you just said you were interested in me? Now when it comes to your own serious business, you change your expression? ”
Qu still couldn't help but talk back: "What about you, our Tang Xi is so proud, aren't you still fascinated by you?" ”
Nian Tong turned his head and said, "How do I know why he likes me, I'm not like you, I'm beautiful and talented, I'm so ordinary, you know." ”
"This may be the legendary turnip greens, each with its own love." Qu still said.
"Why, you admit it, you and Jisheng...?"
"No, he never said he liked me." Qu still found that he had entered the trap of Niantong's speech again, and he was very annoyed.
"What about you, do you like him? Otherwise, why would you blush when you talk about him? Nian Tong said with a smile.
"I... Have it? Qu still subconsciously touched his face.
"Yes, you always say that I don't understand feelings, but in fact, you don't know anything about it yourself. For example, that Qin Sang. Nian Tong said.
"Hmm... Qin Sang is indeed..."Qu still said thoughtfully, she and Niantong are women after all, and they are always a little delicate and sensitive to feelings, but Qin Sang is really a tendon for feelings, like a fool, it can be Mingluo, if it is replaced by another woman who likes him, he will definitely agree.
"You say, what kind of person is that daughter of the King of Kunlun?" Nian Tong asked.
"Yes... You haven't seen her. I've seen her before when I was in Kunlun, and she... It's a very squeamish woman, but when she encounters difficulties, she is not as vulnerable as she imagined. She looks very smart and lively, not the kind of peerless beauty..."Qu still recalled.
"Isn't such a woman the easiest to be liked by men?" Nian Tong said.
"You are also such a woman, except, you are not squeamish, you are the most delicate I have ever seen, but the most lovely, the most..."
"Don't give me so many top hats at once, okay..."Nian Tong was still amused by her, and there was a little more joy in the tense journey.
I set out at night, and by noon the next day, I finally arrived at Momijiling.
Because Nian Tong didn't know the way from Momijiling to Tingfeng Village, he had to rest for a few hours, have lunch, and study the route.
Because autumn is strong, the maple leaves of Red Leaf Ridge are simply overwhelming, and they are even more beautiful than the last time Nian Tong came. She felt that her entire vision was maple red. It is really chilling that such a beautiful place should be fought over by the imperial court and the Red Sleeve Villa as an item.
In Niantong's heart, it snows all year round, the pure white and flawless Huashan, and the red leaf ridge that the forest is gradually dyed, is really the most beautiful fairyland on earth.
Qu has never been to Hongye Ridge, and the first time I came, I was also shocked by such a scenery.
"People who have come to our Cuizhu say that Cuizhu is a Penglai fairyland, surrounded by mountains and rivers. I used to feel the same way, and even, I think the outside world is like this. But when I walked out of Cuizhu and saw the senior sister outside, I realized that the scenery of the north and south of the river is different... I saw the bustling city of Yangzhou, as well as the majestic Kunlun, and today, I saw such a beautiful maple forest..."Qu still said.
"I didn't expect you to like it so much, it's just a pity..."
"Pity? Don't be sorry, if you're afraid, be brave enough to avoid it. Qu still said, "Now, what we have to do is the present." ”
Niantong looked out the window, it was already night, she had been waiting for the night to come, and she would break into the Red Sleeve Villa at night without alarming others.
Qu is still right, you should do the current thing well.
According to the map drawn by himself after inquiry, Nian Tong and Qu still went all the way to the foot of the Red Sleeve Villa in Tingfeng Village.
The Red Sleeve Villa was night, and there were only so many fewer guards than during the day, but one less was better than a lot. The gate is impassable, and can only be passed through the wall.
"During my few days at Red Sleeve Villa, I noticed that every quarter of an hour, there would be a team of about fifteen people patrolling, and the skills of the two of us, if we met those fifteen people, would not be a problem. However, it is best to avoid them so as not to cause a commotion. Still, I'll go up and take a look first. ”
"Okay." Qu still nodded.
After speaking, Nian Tong turned around lightly, jumped onto the eaves, and looked in, except for a few houses with lights on, there were no walking guards carrying lamps. Nian Tong lowered his head and said to Qu still: "Come up." ”
Qu still immediately followed her pace.
"This Red-Sleeved Villa is so big... It's already on a par with the Imperial Palace. Qu still said softly.
Nian Tong sneered: "A small villain force, but it has the same territory as the palace. ”
"Can you find that pill hall?" Qu still asked.
"I don't dare to say anything else, I'm really familiar with that pill hall for a long time." Nian Tong said, "My maid takes me to visit the Red Sleeve Villa every day, and this is the place I pay the most attention to." ”
Qu still asked: "Did you know about Tang Xi's poisoning for a long time?" ”
Niantong paused and said, "Hmm." ”
Stopping and stopping all the way, avoiding the patrolling people, and paying attention to the route, it was half an hour later to find the Pill Palace.
"Niantong, this place is locked." Qu still said.
"In the middle of the night, of course it's going to be locked, just to prevent people like us from stealing the pill."
"Wow, you seem to be proud of what you said." Qu still laughs.
Nian Tong shook his head: "Don't fight with me, let's think about how to unlock it." ”
"Hmm...," Qu still thought about it, and took a thin silver hairpin from his head, "I'll try it." While talking, he walked around to the front of Niantong, and inserted the silver hairpin into the keyhole, and he didn't know what was going on, and with a "click", he heard the sound of the lock falling to the ground.
Nian Tong was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall: "You, you... Can you even pick a lock? ”
"You think I'm the kind of dull lady who shows..."Qu still raised his face proudly, "When we used to be in Cuizhu, we even controlled our diet every day, and when I was younger, I couldn't stay up hungry at night, so I secretly went to the kitchen to steal food, and a few times the door was locked, and the senior sisters taught me to use a hairpin to open the lock." ”
"This is also technology," Nian Tong exclaimed.
"Don't say it, let's go inside." Qu still winked at Nian Tong and walked into the Pill Hall.
This is also the first time that Nian Tong has entered but has to but, which is much bigger than it looks from the outside. There is a circle of cabinets outside, with six or seven rows of lattices, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of pills, poisons, and tonics. In the middle is a pill furnace, which looks a bit like the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun in the book.
"It's so dark here, you can't see anything," Qu still said.
Nian Tong also had a bitter face, and he couldn't bring candles, otherwise it would be too easy for people outside to find out, but there was no light, so many medicine bottles, he couldn't read the words on the medicine bottles at all, let alone find the antidote to Xiyan poison.
"You look for it from that side, I'll look for it from this side, we will go our separate ways, maybe faster." Nian Tong said.
Qu still nodded.
There was still a trace of moonlight outside the window, and Nian Tong could barely read the words on the small bottle and jar, looking down bottle by bottle.
Qu still couldn't help but say: "This Red-sleeved Villa, can there be some rules for putting these things?" The poison and the pill were all mixed together, and there was no way, so I had to find them one by one. It's not convenient for them to find it themselves..."
"I feel the same way." Nian Tong pouted, "We also have a pill pharmacy in Huashan, but the pills are all placed in an orderly manner, how can there be anything like this place..."
Qu still finished finding a cabinet and ran to Niantong's side: "I'd better get closer to you and look for it, we are so far apart, and we talk too loudly." ”
Nian Tong put down the movements of his hand and frowned: "It's not a way for us to look for it like this, once we ignore a certain bottle, our efforts will not be in vain..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, it sounded, there were at least a dozen people, Nian Tong took a step back in a little panic, and Qu still happened to collide together, Qu still heard the footsteps, and was also a little uncertain, in a trance, he bumped into the devil next to him, only to hear the sound of a large piece of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking, both of them gritted their teeth, and almost rolled their eyes.
"Who's in there?" Voices came from outside.
Just as they were about to run first and jump out of the window, a gentle and familiar voice suddenly came.
"I opened the lock, I went out and just came back."
"It turned out to be Yun Gongzi, don't you rest so late?"
"Hmm. You guys go on patrol first, when I came from there just now, I thought something was not right, you should go there first. ”
"Yes."
Niantong's face was a little strange, Qu still looked at her, strange in his heart, but he didn't make a sound.
There was silence outside for a while, and the door of the Pill Hall was slowly pushed open.
Qu still pulled Niantong's sleeve, although Niantong was a little nervous, but he didn't speak, and looked straight at Yun Weichen who walked in from the door.
Qu still whispered, "Do you know him?" ”
Nian Tong nodded, his expression solemn, and he didn't say much.
Yun Weichen approached silently, closed the door again, and then said, "Okay, come out." ”
