Chapter 103: Running Separately!
Thanks to the gong hanging at the door of the storeroom, the guards went out to knock it, and like the butterfly effect, it suddenly rang out one after another, knocking all the living people over.
Ning Yunxiao and Li Yiyan were surrounded tightly before they ran out of the warehouse, and the torches were lit, illuminating the surroundings, and even the shadows of the two of them were stretched diagonally.
"Run separately and meet at the secret passage in the Imperial Garden." Ning Yunxiao said, looking around.
There has been nothing going on in the palace for a long time, and the guards are already eager to try, if it is not for the fact that they are not allowed to ride, they are afraid that the guards on the side of Donghua Gate will come over.
"Run on both sides of the northeast." Li Yiyan also said, looking at Ning Yunxiao, "Yunxiao, be careful"
"So are you." Ning Yunxiao nodded, and before the guards reacted, he grabbed a knife in the first two strokes.
Li Yiyan swept out here, and immediately more than a dozen guards ran after him.
"Chase after him, don't let him run!" The young generals in the back were still shouting, and the remaining guards seemed to be hesitating whether to chase or not.
How could Ning Yunxiao let them chase after him, jumped high, took a look in the air, landed in front of the guards, and started to fight with a swing of his knife.
But she didn't want to hurt innocent people, the slashed places were all on the arms, calves, and three points into the flesh, so that people couldn't get up in pain, and they couldn't use their strength.
In a short time, seven or eight of them had fallen to the ground, and the remaining dozen or so guards hesitated again, not knowing whether to attack or not.
The young general didn't see that Ning Yunxiao had no intention of hurting people, and thought that Ning Yunxiao's martial arts were not good, so he was bent on showing his majesty, and crossed the guards and stepped forward to cut Ning Yunxiao.
Ning Yunxiao held the knife to block it, and he was quite surprised, just the strength of this knife swing can enter the palace and mix up an official rank? It's inferior, it's too easy.
Or is this young general hiding it?
She was puzzled in her heart, and tried a few more tricks, and the moves were extremely tricky.
The little general staggered back, annoyed and angry, and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" β
The guards were afraid that they would be blamed by the junior generals afterwards, so they didn't hesitate and rushed forward one after another.
At this time, reinforcements also came from afar, and the bright torches were lined up, and it was estimated that there were at least fifty people at a glance.
Ning Yunxiao didn't have the intention of entanglement, two knives were swung, and another guard fell to the ground, she was about to run when she raised her speed, but unexpectedly, the talented young general robbed her again, and shouted, "Thief!" Where to run! β
Ning Yunxiao couldn't describe his mood in a precise word.
This man is so stupid!
She slashed out with a backhand, and the unsuspecting young man suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and before he could look down, he felt a pain in his legs and calves.
He looked up and found that the assassin who was still in front of him just now was gone, and the guards also chased after him, and on the first day of his appointment, he made a joke, he didn't come up in anger, he fell backwards and fell to the ground, fainting!
This night, the deep palace that was as quiet as water was boiled because of two bold thieves.
The guards who were originally ordered to go to the grass also began to chase the two thieves, and the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs all hid back in the palace on errands, for fear of being affected by the pond fish.
The sound of drums resounded in every corner of the palace.
Li Hanyu, who had already rested, sat up and asked impatiently, "Why is it so noisy?" β
The maid who kept vigil immediately lit the lamp and said, "The slave and maid do not know, and no one comes." β
Li Hanyu was about to have a seizure when he heard this, and the chief eunuch walked in from the outside, and saw that Li Hanyu seemed to be very excited when he was awake, at least he didn't need to wake him up, and then he was scolded, and he didn't even care about the courtesy, so he said, "Your Majesty, the treasury has been robbed, and the old slave is just in time when he goes." β
Li Hanyu's expression froze, "What about the treasure map?" β
"The emperor can rest assured, the treasure map is fine, the old slave is holding on to it." The chief eunuch hurriedly said, and presented the treasure map with both hands as if offering a treasure.
"What did the thief steal?" Li Hanyu took it and spread it out to look at it carefully.
The chief eunuch replied, "It was a crossbow machine, but it was discovered, and it was not stolen, and an arrow was fired, and the crossbow machine was broken." β
He thought for a moment and then said, "But because of this, the old slave can't hide the fact that he has been to the treasury." β
"Kill the guards who led you by, I don't believe that there are rumors leaking out." Li Hanyu said, sneering.
The chief eunuch shuddered unconsciously, "Your Majesty, is this treasure map really real?" β
"Naturally, otherwise where would the gold and silver treasures that disappeared from the treasury go back then?" Li Hanyu said.
He added, "How many thieves have crept in?" β
"Two, two." The chief eunuch obviously lacked confidence in what he said.
Li Hanyu sneered, "The palace is built brilliantly, and when the Praetorian Guards inevitably overlook, it's just two thieves who sneak in, but the treasury is heavy, and even people are asked to sneak in, are thousands of guards all waste?" β
He shouted, a cruel look already appeared in his eyes, "Do you think your life is too long?" β
The chief eunuch's legs were weak, and he immediately knelt down, "The emperor is angry." β
Li Hanyu has a bad temper, where is his anger so easy to dissipate.
"These two thieves must be caught and executed!" He shouted, and his voice was heard outside the temple.
In the shadow under the window, Li Yiyan slowly retreated, and left before the palace maid who was in charge of the lamp in the hall came out to check on time.
Li Hanyu was sure that the treasure map was real, which really surprised him.
With Li Hanyu intervening, and he and Ning Yunxiao got the treasure map in one step, things would be difficult to handle.
"Hurry up, go over there."
"The manufacturing department also went to take a look, and the thieves must not be allowed to escape!"
"My lord, in front of me is Ning Concubine Niangniang's Lishang Palace, shall I search or not?"
"Is this a place where I can enter when I say enter, you go to the emperor, and the emperor will search again after the emperor agrees."
Loud footsteps came from the other side of the wall, mixed with the voices of the guards discussing with each other, and faded away.
Behind the stone lamppost on this side of the wall, Ning Yunxiao came out of the shadows.
She looked to both sides, and there was a long corridor in full view, and the candles in a lamppost a few meters apart were almost extinguished.
It turns out that they are almost running to the harem!
Ning Yunxiao quickly ran to the east, Ning Shishi, you played so much tricks on me, I will borrow you to hide in the palace today, and I will flatten it!
Thinking like this, Ning Yunxiao ran two steps under the wall of Lishang Palace and climbed in.
Lishang Palace is divided into three halls, and there should be three concubines, but Ning Shishi is favored and is the daughter of the prime minister, so this Lishang Palace is given to her to live alone, and even the palace maids and eunuchs around her have one more stubble.
Originally, Ning Yunxiao should have hid in the side hall where no one lived, and when the guards finished searching this area, they went to the Imperial Garden to meet Li Yiyan, but she touched the main hall by mistake.
Syllable!
Before I got to the window, I heard a crisp slap sound inside, followed by Ning Shishi's angry voice, "! β
Even Ning Yunxiao was bluffed, she felt her face hurt when she heard this movement, which palace maid was so unlucky.
She stepped forward, strung open the clasp in the window with a force of both hands, and then opened a small crack to look in.
But more than ten meters away, there are several palace maids in the way, except for Ning Shishi, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking back and forth with gorgeous hair, what the person who is being repaired looks like, tall, short, fat and thin, all of them can't be seen.
She closed the window and went around the verandah to the back.
Not counting the ridge, the hall is three meters high, and the eaves hang down to about two and a half meters, she chose a corner, jumped up on the pillar, and borrowed her hand on the eaves, and landed on the roof lightly.
Ning Yunxiao picked the right place and lifted the tiles, and the people in the hall didn't notice that there were already people on the roof.
She looked down and looked closely, and her gaze froze.
If she is not mistaken, when Qingping Guancheng Zhongshan, she had a relationship with this woman, and she also talked about her life experience with Helian Qian at that time, suspecting that she was the daughter of the Lin family who was beheaded by the whole family, and heard Helian Qian seem to call her Quecao.
At that time, I just mentioned two sentences in passing and didn't care, why did this appear in the palace?
Isn't there a woman, where did she go?
Holding her stomach full of doubts, Ning Yunxiao lowered her head a little more, concentrating and calming down, so that she could hear more clearly, but she didn't expect another slap in her ears.
The corner of the mouth was bleeding from the beating, and she knelt on the ground and tied her hands and feet.
Ning Shishi raised her eyebrows and asked coldly, "Say, which family are you the daughter of the family that seduced the emperor." β
She thought that when she entered the palace, Quecao, who was not bad, was the daughter of an official eunuch, and she regarded others as imaginary enemies.
Quecao raised her head, "The folk girl has no father or mother, and she was summoned to the palace by the emperor. β
She wants to stay in the palace, and I don't know how many concubines will be staring at her in the future, this arrogant and domineering person in front of her actually went to the Qinzheng Palace to arrest her, even if she is confident now, the grace will not last long, she speaks trickily, deliberately provokes this concubine, and makes her act more ruthlessly, if Li Hanyu can punish this concubine for her, then it makes sense for her to stay, otherwise she will have to find another strategy.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ning Shishi immediately exploded, she didn't say a word for a long time, but she didn't expect to open her mouth like this, she was really angry with her, "Nonsense!" The emperor has never been out of the palace, how can he know you and summon you into the palace? β
After she finished speaking, she instructed the palace maid, "Fight!" β
A slightly chubby palace maid should be, take the ring ruler and hit the back of the finch grass.
Quecao hid without thinking about it, "Niangniang, the people don't dare to deceive the people, it's really the emperor who summoned the people into the palace." β
"Dare to hide!" Ning Shishi waved her hand, "Hold her." β
The rest of the palace maids immediately squatted down and pressed the finch grass.
Finchgrass struggled hard, and the wound on her abdomen, which had already healed, opened again, and cold sweat flowed from her forehead.
Ning Yunxiao, who was on the roof, immediately judged that she had injuries on her body, and then heard Que Cao shout again, "The emperor summoned General Lu, and it was General Lu who brought the people's daughter into the palace." β
Isn't General Lu the general who recaptured Qingping Pass? Of course, for her to remember this person, she also has to owe it to the fact that he sent so many cavalry to chase her and Li Yiyan.
What did General Lu mean by bringing this finch grass into the palace? Quecao is a descendant of the Lin family nine times out of ten, so she must know a little bit about medical skills, could it be that she saved a lot of soldiers, and specially brought her into the palace to ask for a reward.
No, if you really ask for a reward, it's just a fold, how can you bring someone into the palace to ask for it?
Ning Yunxiao's thoughts passed by, and he couldn't understand it, and he became more and more confused.
But Ning Shishi immediately came to the conclusion, could it be that General Cheng Lu wanted to send a woman to the emperor's side, wanting to increase his power?
The DPRK and China have always dealt with the civil and military attachΓ©s, and they have to inform their father of such a big matter.
Thinking of this, the anger on her face was all replaced by ruthlessness, and she stared at Que Cao and said, "If you were brought into the palace by General Lu, then you can't stay!" β
Thinking that this woman was dead, General Lu couldn't send the woman here, and ordered in a cold voice, "Do it quickly." β
Not to mention the palace maids, even Quecao was stunned, how could this concubine say that? It's not what she planned.
Ning Yunxiao's eyelids on the roof jumped, to be honest, she didn't know what Ning Shishi thought, but she knew that Ning Shishi really did it.
It's a shame that this finch grass is going to die like this!
She looked back into the distance, and although she couldn't see the guards clearly, she could see the torches scurrying around, and they were still looking for her!
"Don't come here! Let go. The finch grass in the temple suddenly shouted.
Ning Yunxiao looked down again, only to see that a palace maid actually took the palace silk and wanted to strangle the finch grass.
