Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Phantom of the Night

Outside the main gate of the West Palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were thousands of honor guards on the 5th Emperor's patrol, in addition to the light cavalry of the forbidden army, and the maidservants of the inner prison.

The young man with an elegant appearance in the water-colored robe on the white horse is His Royal Highness the King of Beihai, a famous beautiful man in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Behind them was an iron-blooded breath rushing towards them, and two hundred light cavalry forbidden troops embraced the current emperor's dragon chariot.

The four doors carved by the south flower wood are golden tops, and the lower ones are four short pillars of red seal jade, and the boxy dragon chariot is extremely luxurious.

The guards with large swords in their hands were guarding the dragon chariot in front and back, left and right.

The streets were lined with people, all vying to squeeze forward, shouting loudly. With such a large degree of patrol, who in Pingcheng can not know.

The captain of the city gate, Qi Fu Yanli, led his subordinate soldiers to maintain order until the honor guard left the city.

Inside the dragon chariot, Tuoba Hong sat quietly, but his eyes were all on my face. Since early in the morning, I have been very quiet, not much to say, full of thoughts.

Before leaving, he asked gently, "Are you feeling unwell?"

I just chuckled and shook my head, "No, the concubine is very good." ”

At this time, he looked at me tenderly and called out slowly, "Rong'er, come here."

I moved over, and Takubahiro took me into his arms, leaned me against him, and muttered, "Sleep for a while, it'll be there soon."

I didn't want to sleep, but I leaned into his arms and closed my eyes lightly. I just didn't know what I was talking to him about, so I just slept on my own.

Along the way, I could clearly feel Takubahiro gently touching my hair and caressing my white cheeks, but I remained motionless, letting him hold me.

The queen didn't go with her, and it seemed that she didn't get permission from Tuoba Hong, but I didn't ask much.

The dragon chariot was occasionally a little bumpy, occasionally very steady, and in a daze, I felt that I should have arrived.

Tuoba Hong exhaled softly in my ear, "Rong'er, it's here." ”

I lazily withdrew from his arms, sat down, and smiled at him.

At this time, the pure and clear voice of the King of the North Sea outside the curtain sounded, "Your Majesty, the Buddha Cave Barracks have arrived." ”

Takubahong took my hand and got off the dragon chariot together. Zheng Zixi, the prison supervisor of the Buddha cave, who had already come to greet him, hurriedly knelt on the spot and bowed. Tuoba Hong waved his hand to get him up.

As I passed in front of the Beihai King, I obviously felt a slight change in Ji Yu's face.

I can't guess what's going on in his mind, and I don't want to.

I casually glanced at the soldiers who came with me with trepidation, and I knew what I was looking for, but I knew it couldn't be. How could he disguise himself as a court soldier? It's that I'm thinking too much.

Yes, he knows many people from the royal family and nobles, why do you need to pretend to be a soldier, it's not 'three hundred taels of silver here', I laughed at myself.

The barracks is the residence of the soldiers who guard this Buddhist cave, and it is also used as a temporary residence for people from the imperial court. It is usually used to store the materials for the construction of the Buddha cave, as well as all the miscellaneous goods.

The slaves who built the caves were not allowed to live in the barracks, but only built some huts in the open space next to the barracks.

I found that this barracks is wider than Gaofu, and the courtyard, garden, and rockery are simply a royal palace. However, the widest open space is not the school yard, which should be able to stand for hundreds of people.

Zheng Zixi is the leading general in this barracks, responsible for supervising the construction of the Buddhist caves.

After Tuoba Hong sent me into the wing, he went to the main hall to see his generals, probably to listen to the government affairs report.

I sat lazily on the chair, and Yinglin, who came with me, was busy serving me tea.

I lazily sipped tea and ate snacks.

Before coming to Wuzhou Mountain, I had already heard about Zhu Yan in a casual chat with Zhu Yan: Zheng Zixi, the supervisor of this Buddha cave, is the son of Zheng Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, that is, Zheng Minya's brother.

In addition to the eight great clans, the nobles of the Northern Wei court:

Tuoba

Chumus

Dugu's

Step 6 Lonely

Horai

He Lous

Beshit

Da Xi's

Yu Chi's

There are also the four major scholars of the Han nationality in the Central Plains: Cui, Zheng, Lu, and Li.

The Zheng family is this Han family, and Tuoba Hong is also very supportive of this Han scholar official, and many official positions in the imperial court are Han scholars.

It is not my turn to participate in the affairs of the court, I am just an escort, although I have come with a purpose.

The moon was in the sky, and the barracks was quiet except for the sound of the soldiers on patrol.

In the garden pavilion, the king of the North Sea and Zheng Zixi set up some food and shared joy. When Zheng Zixi was chatting with the King of Beihai, he saw him sitting on the pavilion railing with a lot of heart, holding a wine glass and shaking it gently, but he didn't drink it.

He got up and leaned over, sat down in front of him, put his legs on the stone railing, and asked leisurely: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, why is Your Highness not a little happy, who provoked you?"

Zheng Zixi smiled stupidly, and said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from my sister Minya, saying that she wanted to come here to see me, why didn't His Highness bring her along with her?"

The King of the North Sea came back from his trance, his face was expressionless, and he said slowly: "I haven't seen her this time."

After speaking, he smiled slightly, and touched the wine glass in his hand with Zheng Zixi, "Come, drink." ”

In the midst of the two chatting, a woman walked in the corridor, the woman was alone, crossing the corridor in the night, and walked into the bluestone road among the flowers and plants in the garden, and when approaching the pavilion in the garden, the woman stopped. The flowers and trees are slightly taller, and the woman stands next to the flowers and plants, completely covered by plucking.

The woman just calmly looked at the figures of Beihai King and Zheng Zixi in the pavilion, her eyes were confused, and there was a complicated look in her eyes, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

She didn't bother, just watched quietly.

After only a moment's pause, the woman turned around and walked towards the nobleman's chamber.

As soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I saw Yinglin appear in front of me with a nervous expression.

When she saw me busy saluting, she said, "The master wants to go out?" ”

My eyes were cold and I whispered, "Go out for a while, you stay in the room of the palace, if the emperor comes, he will say that the palace will go out for a walk, just for a while." ”

Ying Lin looked at me suspiciously, "The master doesn't need a slave to accompany him?" ”

"No, this palace doesn't need it."

Ying Lin Fushen, "Yes, the master will come back earlier." ”

I smiled lightly, passed her, and headed out into the barracks garden.

I strolled quietly, deliberately avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and came to a colder part of the woods.

If he did follow, he would be looking for an opportunity to approach me, and I could only be in a quiet place like this, and he might appear.

I walked calmly and lightly, listening to the moonlit night to see if there would be any sound around me.

I smiled indifferently at the dull thoughts, and sometimes I really didn't know what my behavior was.

I raised my eyebrows lightly, and smiled lightly at the corners of my mouth, maybe I was really thinking too much, he might not necessarily think of me, and he wouldn't necessarily follow.

And what's the point of me doing this?

I stopped and looked up at the night sky.

In the dark night, I am alone, and people see it like a phantom, but I like this night, and I like this quietness even more.

In a trance, I seemed to see his face, a demonic snow-white face, without a trace of color, which made people chill.

It's scary.

I blinked my eyes to calm my heart, I was thinking too much.

Xiao Jingqi, what should you do to you?

I chuckled.

Am I going to treat you or Yi Huan with a high heart?

Suddenly, there was a sound in the woods around me, very soft footsteps.

I'm on my guard, could it be him?

As soon as I noticed the sound, I saw a figure flash in front of me, all gray and gray.

"Door Master."

My beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the person who appeared in front of me, and wondered, "You Ran, why are you here?" ”

You Ran hugged his fists and saluted, "My subordinates learned that the master of the door had come to Wuzhou Mountain, and they came to protect him secretly. ”

I was slightly stunned, and said coldly, "Don't call me the door master." ”

I didn't accept this identity, I was still me, not Yihua.

You Ran looked at me steadily, "But the door master, you can't help but face yourself. ”

I was a little annoyed and sneered at him, "Okay, don't mention it again." ”

You Ran lowered his eyes, knowing that I still couldn't accept the possession of Oto's soul.

Although I know this is the truth, if you really treat me as a b-huo, then am I not Gao Zhaorong, not myself, but someone else?

I think it's ironic.

It is taboo for him to come to the barracks without permission. If you let others look at it, it will make people suspicious.

However, he holds the position of the Gaofu Nursing Hospital, and even if others see it, they can only say that they are coming to me.

I watched him in silence, I couldn't let him wander around the Wuzhou Mountains like this, for fear that Tuoba Hong's guards would find out and think he was an assassin.

I had no choice but to lead him back to my chamber and ask Yinglin to find him a soldier's uniform and let him act as my bodyguard.

The sun is shining, the weather is hot, there is not a trace of wind, and the sky and the earth are warm.

After Tuoba Hong accompanied me to breakfast, he went to the grotto with Ji Yu.

Ying Lin accompanied me as I walked through the barracks park, and I saw a woman dressed as a man coming in through the gate of the barracks.

I raised my eyebrows faintly and looked at the petite body in costume.

The soldier was familiar with her, and answered her words while helping her lead the horse. The woman asked the soldier, "Where is my brother?"

The soldier replied, "The prison army has accompanied the emperor to the Buddha cave."

"Okay, got it." The woman smiled faintly.

I saw the woman walking slowly in my direction.

I stood by the tree and didn't move, staring at each other in amazement.

I already recognized her, she was Coco Cheng, Coco Cheng in men's clothes.

When Zheng Minya saw me, she gently bowed to me, "I've seen Rong Guiren." ”

I smiled faintly, "Miss Zheng." ”

Zheng Minya said with a smile: "This is all for the nobles to see, the nobles' eyesight is really good." As she spoke, she glanced at the men's clothes on herself.

I smiled implicitly.

"Miss Zheng is here to find General Zheng?"

I'm trying to see if she's here for this reason, and I don't want to hear her because the King of the North Sea is here and came here on purpose.

She admires Ji Yu, I know a little bit.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, I already knew her performance.

Zheng Minya bit her lip slightly, cleared her eyes, curled the corners of her mouth and replied, "Yes, I haven't seen my brother for a long time, so I came to see him."

Of course, her heart has actually made me guess that she is here for the King of the North Sea, but it can't be too obvious.

I smiled indifferently, even if Zheng Minya said so, I knew her purpose, and I was a little unhappy in my heart.

"Rong Guiren, Minya retired first." She smiled and whispered.

I nodded with a smile and looked at her cheerful figure, and my heart was very sour.

I only felt a twitching pain in my heart, and at the same time, a wave of irritability rose: "Yinglin, go out for a walk." ”
