Chapter 38: Ambition to Tiger Mountain (2)

Odd!

It's so weird!

Xia Qian frowned.

The east courtyard is centered on the rockery fountain, the east, south and north directions are all houses, the west courtyard wall is connected with the main courtyard of the general's mansion, and the door in and out of the east courtyard has two north and south roads.

The south gate is for the masters and maids to enter and exit, and the north gate is for the soldiers to enter and exit.

To the east of the courtyard is Huo Feng and Lin's bedroom and canteen, there are three connected study rooms, one for each of them, and one is a Buddhist hall set up by Lin for chanting and chanting Buddha.

The north side is where the soldiers lived, and the east courtyard was entered and exited from the north gate.

Yu Nuan said that the Huo family army has 100,000 soldiers and is stationed in the north all the year round, and the Huo family father and son only returned to Qinglong City half a year ago.

The 3,000 soldiers of the General's Mansion all live in a few rows of large houses to the north of the East Courtyard.

The results of her own investigation were exactly the same as Chunhua Qiushi's investigation, except for a few of them in the West Courtyard, everyone else lived in the East Courtyard.

This is so unconscionable!

The suspicion on Xia Qian's face became heavier and heavier.

Didn't the elders all live in the North Courtyard?

Living in the north and facing south, it is both common sense and ventilated to the sun, why do Huo Feng and the Lin family live in the east courtyard?

It is said that the north courtyard is where the main lord lives, and the east courtyard is where Huo Zun lives, and the maid and the family should live in the west courtyard, why is this happening?

Huo Zun punished Xia Qian, Bai Bing, and Yu Nuan in the North Courtyard for seven days, they had paid attention to the North Courtyard, the entire General's Mansion, and the most luxurious and spectacular was the North Courtyard.

The buildings there are magnificent, the trees are rare, and at first glance it is a place that can truly show the majesty of the Jiangjun Mansion of Zhenguo.

But why is it idle?

What is the secret of Jiang's military, why is the imposing north courtyard empty, and the master, family members and government soldiers are all crowded in the east courtyard?

Could it be that something happened in the north courtyard that was unlucky?

How can it be?

What a simple thing it is to move the Zhenguo General's Mansion to a mansion, it is impossible to guard a murderous mansion, is it the same as the Qingtian King's Mansion here, there are also good things hidden?

How can it?

But no one said what the general was looking for at home!

Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and continued to look south.

To the south is the residence of the maids, counting Mingyu, there are a total of thirty-two maids, and for the vast general's mansion, these maids are obviously pitiful.

Thinking of Huo Feng's cunning, insidious and vicious nature, Xia Qian didn't think it was strange, such people were often thoughtful and cautious. One more maid in the house, one more pair of eyes.

"Lu Jingheng is really not simple, he can place eyeliner in this kind of place!" Xia Qian sighed lightly and continued to clean the courtyard.

She can't go to the place where the soldiers live, this part must be checked by Chunhua Qiushi, Huo Feng and Lin's living habits The two birds know a lot, and they can learn through them.

That night, Xia Qian turned on the lamp and sorted out all the things she had surveyed in the day.

In addition to the topographical map of the east courtyard, she also carefully drew the west courtyard and the north courtyard, although the front courtyard had only gone out with Huo Zun twice, but she had generally seen it clearly and drew it together.

From the corridors of houses, rockeries and gardens, to the pavilions of trees, and the distribution of personnel, she not only clearly marked the direction, but also accurately remarked the number.

Bai Bing and Yu Nuan looked at the map drawn by Xia Qian in disbelief, and then looked carefully at the remarks on the back, and their surprised gazes could almost light up the entire room.

"Young lady, this ...... This is what you did? Bai Bing exclaimed in surprise.

Yu Nuan looked at these drawings as if she had been treasured, and exclaimed: "It's incredible, I've been busy for seven nights, it's not as clear and thorough as you can check in half a day!" “

The eyes of the two fell on Xia Qian, as if looking up at a god.

After some eye contact, the two of them all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "King Kang ordered us to assist you in completing the great cause, but the two of us are ignorant and make our own decisions, and we have affected the young lady twice, and I hope that the young lady has a lot, so don't worry about us." In the future, we will wholeheartedly assist the young lady and complete the important task of subverting the country! “

"We're all in the same boat, you don't have to see each other like that. The General's Mansion is full of dangers, you must consult with me before you act, and you must not act without permission! Xia Qian helped them up and told them seriously.

"Yes! All actions in the future will be guided by the young lady! ”

In addition to cleaning the east courtyard and removing the weeds in the yard, the punishment given by the Lin family to Xia Qian was to seriously clean the pavilion and corridor ten times, although she was busy until the evening, she did not finish these things.

On the second day, when Xia Qian got up early and was about to go to the east courtyard to clean the pavilion, Mingyu stopped her.

"The old lady said that from today onwards, the young lady will be kneeling in the courtyard, and she is not allowed to enter the east courtyard again, and she is not allowed to return to the west courtyard without her permission!" After Mingyue finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the east courtyard.

Xia Qian looked stunned, didn't let her pull the grass and wash the pavilion?

The old lady has enlightened, or did Huo Feng mention it after he came back?

Anyway, she was no longer interested in the east courtyard, but the main courtyard that connected the three courtyards, she hadn't paid close attention to it before, so she simply knelt in the main courtyard, facing the north, and took a good look at the tall and majestic, majestic but neglected north courtyard.

Last night, Yu Nuan told her that the Zhenguo General's Mansion was originally the mansion of the Founding Marshal's Mansion.

After the accident, Huo Feng, who turned out to be just a forward general, went straight to Qingyun and became the general of Zhenguo.

Since then, there has been no founding marshal's mansion in Yi State, and a new Zhenguo General's Mansion has emerged.

This mansion was washed in blood six years ago, Huo Feng originally planned to move the mansion, and the emperor also built a new mansion for him, but before he moved in, he was robbed by King Qingtian.

At that time, King Kuo Tiangang was just a Sanpin general stationed at the border, and somehow he was crowned a prince by the emperor overnight and given a mansion.

Huo Feng's mansion was inhabited by the King of Heaven, and the first beam of the General's Mansion of the Zhenguo State and the Mansion of the King of Heaven was thus concluded.

A year later, the emperor ordered the general's palace to be rebuilt, but as soon as the ground was started, the Xuyu River flooded, and the crops were not harvested.

The people of Yi were complaining, saying that the emperor did not provide disaster relief, but built a large number of buildings, and even scolded Huo Feng for not being a person inside and out.

Huo Feng didn't live in the new house, but he couldn't raise his head after being scolded, and finally had to donate 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief.

Last year, the emperor built a tall and magnificent Horse Mansion, which was originally given to Huo Zun, but Lu Jingheng was allowed to live in it by mistake.

So far, the Huo family still lives in this murderous mansion.

Looking at the bleak and deserted North Courtyard, Xia Qian chuckled lightly and sighed secretly:

"The general's mansion of the town country, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the wealth is rivaled by the country?

I thought there was a drag, but it turned out that in front of the emperor, I didn't even get a new nest!

It's a pity, now that the general trend has gone, the emperor will never give you a chance to change your nest again. ”

There is not much to see in the desolate north courtyard, through the high courtyard walls and vermilion gates, only the magnificent houses and dense trees can be seen inside.

The door facing the front hall was locked, and only a small door on the left side was open, and inside was the firewood room, where Xia Qian and her master and servant had been locked up for seven days.

There is nothing to see on the walls, houses, and trees, but the painted door gods on the two gates make Xia Qian feel a little interesting.

"Shen Tu and Yu Lei! This is interesting, modern door gods like to use Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Gong, Guan Gong and Yide, and rarely use the characters in this kind of mythological story, but these two gods will be next to the golden rooster and tiger, why...... Looks a little childish? This is a tiger, it's like drawing a cat according to the tiger......"

Xia Qian was talking, suddenly dizzy, and the clear door god in front of him moved inexplicably.

The door god spun along with the two doors, and the scene in her vision quickly turned pitch black.

"Why is there only a painting of Shen Tu and Yu Lei on this door, but not their golden rooster and tiger?"

"Hey! You're only seven years old when you read "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and you know that the two of them have a golden rooster and a tiger! These animals should be painted, but the military master can only draw horses, not chickens and tigers...... Or, wait for you to grow and make up for them! “

"Move a stool, I'll draw it now!"

In the haze, nothing could be seen, only two voices came into mind, followed by a deathly silence.
