At three o'clock, there were still lights flickering in the imperial city.

Now is the time for a shift change, and the little eunuch who yawns was scolded by the eunuch and left listlessly.

Many of the nearby lamps were extinguished, but no one went to refill the oil. A row of old palaces was hidden in the darkness, and the wind blew through it, making it look very desolate.

This place is north of the Tsuruha Palace, west of the garrison of the Right Feather Forest Army, and there are no royal families living here, and there are only lonely palaces.

As the imperial palace of the former Qin, the Great Zhou made many changes. This place is a deserted place, and many palaces are no longer empty, but there are still people guarding here.

Those who can guard here are destined to have no room for promotion, no wonder a few eunuchs are listless, they don't care anymore.

Today's style is extraordinarily big, and the disadvantage is that there is no oil and water, but the advantage is that it is quiet. On weekdays, no one calls them, so they just need to patrol these places to prevent thieves from sneaking in.

Da-da-da-da!

There was a group of eunuchs patrolling the empty palace wall, but the hands of the lanterns were also shaky. They were full of alcohol and laughter.

Behind the eunuch, there were a few soldiers of the Yulin Army, they were also the same, everyone seemed to be drunk, and their faces turned red.

Feng Mujin was originally the internal minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but later he was found to have accepted bribes, so he was demoted here.

Being sent here means that there is no way to get promoted. Feng Mujin was very surprised, who was in the palace did not secretly take some benefits, that is, his hands and feet were not clean and let people take the handle. For the first period of time, he borrowed alcohol every day to kill his sorrows, and in the end, he was relieved.

If there are no nobles living here, there will be fewer people to serve, and it will be easier on weekdays. He is more comfortable here, and he gradually relaxes after a long time. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he will often take his subordinates to relax for a while.

Feng Mujin drank a lot of wine today, and beside him was Jing Ming, the captain of the Yulin Military Academy. The two are also a pair of difficult brothers, and Jing Ming also committed an accident in the army and was relegated here to guard.

Usually, the two often drink and chat, and in the end, the few people are too boring, so they let their cronies come in.

What happened in the palace could not be hidden from the eyes of Baiqi and Ruoshui, but as long as it did not threaten the safety of the emperor and other nobles, it would pass with one eye closed.

Today, they are still drunk. The entire palace is naturally guarded, so there is no need to worry about thieves taking advantage of it.

Although Jing Ming looked like a burly man, it was a pity that the amount of alcohol was not very good, he didn't drink much and then staggered a little, and said with a big tongue: "Gonggong Feng...... Let's either disperse today, I'm afraid the general will come here to patrol in a while. ”

Feng Mujin laughed, patted Jing Ming's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, our brothers are already on duty to rest today." Your generals won't go to our resting place to check it out, and besides, there are so many hidden palaces in this place that even if your general turns to dawn, he can't finish them all. ”

As he spoke, the two suddenly came to a fork in the road, and there was a palace directly opposite. There is a large plane tree in front of the palace, and there is a lake next to the tree, which can be seen in the dark night.

Feng Mujin shouted: "Where is this, Xiao Yangzi, come here!" ”

A thin eunuch came over behind him and whispered, "Father-in-law, this is the True Xu Palace." ”

Shin Xu Temple!

Feng Mujin's eyes opened, and he quickly thought of the origin of this True Xu Palace.

This place was the location of the original imperial palace of the former Qin period, so many former Qin palaces remained.

This Zhenxu Hall is where the former Qin prince is located, and it can be said to be the existence of the East Palace at that time. However, it is smaller than the East Palace, because the East Palace is too far away from the Taiqian Palace, so the former Qin prince at that time simply moved here to live.

The former prince of Qin was very diligent and proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts. He and Emperor Yang died in the city together, and this matter was deliberately concealed by the Great Zhou to prevent the scenery of the former Qin from becoming too prosperous.

Therefore, this True Xuzhou Hall is also hidden.

But there is a legend circulating around here, it is said that the ghost of the former Qin prince is not gone, he was a peerless famous general before his death, and he is the prince of Daqin, after his death, the yang energy is too strong, he becomes a ghost immortal, and often haunts this Zhenxu Palace.

Many patrolling people have seen a figure here, and some even heard unwilling roars.

In this regard, Feng Mujin has never scoffed at you, he has never believed in any ghosts and gods. Seeing the frightened looks of his subordinates, he suddenly said: "Anyway, I don't have to work tomorrow, why don't we do a leaf play?" ”

Leaf play, in fact, is a card game that has been passed down from the royal family, and there are often this items in gambling halls.

Hearing that they were going to play cards, several people immediately geared up.

Feng Mujin raised his feet and was about to walk into the Zhenxu Palace, when a eunuch said worriedly, "Inside...... Could there be ghosts? ”

Feng Mujin scolded: "It's all a group of cowards who don't have the guts, this is an important place in the imperial city, what ghosts can there be, don't scare yourself!" ”

Jing Ming also nodded: "It's okay, it's hidden enough here, just tomorrow if there is nothing to do, just play a few rounds!" Father-in-law Feng, just see how I win all the money on you! ”

Feng Mujin sneered: "Then it depends on your ability." ”

In the Zhenxu Palace, it was pitch black and very gloomy.

A group of eunuchs played lanterns, they knew the gloom of this place, although they were aroused by the play of cards just now, but if they really wanted to enter it, they really felt a wave of fear.

Squeak!

There was a loud noise from the wooden door.

"Ahh

When the door was opened, someone suddenly screamed, threw the lantern in his hand, pointed inside, and shouted, "There are ghosts, ghosts!" ”

"There are so many of us, even if there are ghosts, don't be afraid!"

Feng Mujin's face was pale, and the moment the door opened, with the help of the light of the lantern, they all saw a figure scurrying by.

Could it be that there really are ghosts?

A group of people suddenly woke up, Jing Ming pulled out his knife, and the rest of the forbidden army also drew their knives.

Something happened, and everyone's alcohol suddenly woke up. Everyone thinks that the haunting of the True Xudian Hall is just a legend, but there is really a figure shaking, so you still have to check it out.

Jing Ming said: "Lao Feng, it seems that there is no way to stop today, I will take someone in first to take a look, you block the surroundings, you must not let him run out!" ”

Feng Mujin nodded and watched Jing Ming rush in with the forbidden army.

His people waited for a long time, but Jing Ming never came out.

He and a group of eunuchs finally couldn't hold on, and someone shouted: "Captain Jing! But no one responded.

"Grandpa Feng, should we go in and have a look?" A eunuch whispered.

Feng Mujin gritted his teeth, he knew that once something happened to Jing Ming, Yu Linjun would definitely picket to the end.

When the time comes, whether his life can be saved is still two words.

"Prepare guys, let's go in too!" Feng Mujin pushed the door open, and the dark palace was like an abyss, waiting for the prey that was coming.
