Chapter 172: Entering the Palace
Huang Rong seemed to think of something, so she went to bang on the wall behind the cabinet with a dog-beating stick, to listen to the sound of this wall, to discern whether her idea was correct, after hearing the knocking sound, sure enough, as she expected, the sound after the knocking had an echo, that is to say, the wall was hollow.
Then there is only one possibility, the owner of this inn has made a secret room behind this wall.
Guo Jing and the old naughty boy moved the cabinet, Huang Rong's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw a door behind him, but after moving open, the smell from inside was slightly changed, Zhou Botong walked in, and he smelled an unbearable rancid smell, and immediately walked aside.
The heavy task of opening the door, of course, has to be handed over to Zhou Botong, under Huang Rong's push, although he was extremely reluctant, but he still walked up and gently bumped back with his hips, but they were not opened, and then he was angry in his heart, and slammed it back, this time, the door of the secret room was opened.
After opening the door of this secret room, an extremely strong corpse stench suddenly wafted out, making everyone present can't help but turn their heads to the side, or cover their noses with their hands, because the stench coming from inside is so stinky that if you stay inside, it may not take half a minute to stink people to death.
Hong Qigong has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and he immediately smelled the smell inside that was the smell of people after death, that is, the smell of corpses.
If the smell of the corpse is too much, it will not only cause harm to the human body, but also this smell will stay on the body for several days and cannot be washed off.
So let Guo Jing throw a torch in. When all the air is burned and expelled, the fresh air from the outside enters, so that there is no residual smell, and the smell of corpses is eliminated, and there is no danger for everyone to enter it.
Zhou Botong is extremely interested in novelties, and for such a novel and interesting thing as entering the secret room, of course he wants to enter earlier, but Huang Rong wants to wait a little longer, and then go in with Guo Jing.
But he couldn't wait. Huang Rong said that he could go in. Zhou Botong took the first step and walked into this secret room.
This cave is small and dirty, and there are two human bones, and Zhou Botong does not feel funny at all. I wanted to get out. Huang Rong doesn't care. But let him call Guo Jing in.
Huang Rong went through so many clues and finally spelled out an answer, one of the two bones was Qu Lingfeng, the third disciple of her father. The silly aunt should be his daughter.
The other skeleton was a guard who served as a messenger in the palace, Huang Rong saw several precious antique jewelry, poems, calligraphy and paintings on the side, and finally knew the cause of the death of the third senior brother.
After investigating everything in the secret room, Guo Jing and Huang Rong walked out and told everyone everything inside.
This is the end of the matter, Huang Rong found her senior brother's residence, although the person has passed away, but finally found his bones and orphans, Qu Lingfeng has knowledge under the spring, and will also feel gratified.
Because of Hong Qigong's current injury, so there are not many years to live, and what his old man wants most is to eat the mandarin duck five treasures in the palace, in order to fulfill his wish, so everyone set off into Lin'an City, found the most famous inn to live, and planned to enter the palace early tomorrow morning.
Although the food in this inn is indeed delicious, how can it compare to Huang Rong's craftsmanship, Hong Qigong also likes her cooking very much, so he went out to buy vegetables with Guo Jing.
When you come to Lin'an City, how can you not appreciate this beautiful city, only to see that this imperial city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the river transportation is convenient, which is extremely prosperous.
The rivers in and outside the city are connected to the Grand Canal, forming a huge water transportation network, but it has played an important role in the economic development of Lin'an.
Not only that, Lin'an City is also known for its prosperous commerce, with the development of commodity economy, papermaking, textile, shipbuilding, printing, and other handicrafts in the city, and have established workshops. Moreover, there are markets and trading houses in and around the city, and trading is carried out day and night.
It is a pity that because of political corruption, the military power of the Southern Song Dynasty is declining day by day, and its situation is very crisis, even if Guo Jing and Huang Rong took the beggars and a large number of people from the rivers and lakes to defend Xiangyang City, it also allowed the Southern Song Dynasty to live for more than 20 years, and finally with the invasion of the Yuan soldiers, Lin'an was looted unprecedentedly, and the old scene no longer exists, leaving only a trace of desolate smoke.
Wu Sheng was walking on the street, and suddenly remembered one thing, if Guo Jingken handed over his martial arts to Yang Kang, would this person not help Yan Honglie, but help Da Song.
However, thinking of what this person said, Wu Sheng felt that this possibility was very low, because Yang Kang once said in the play that he would be his good brother if he was unconditionally good to him, and looking at his extreme character, even if Guo Jingken taught him martial arts, if something was not good to him in the future, maybe he would turn his face.
After getting tired of shopping, Wu Sheng went back to the inn, and tomorrow morning, he followed them to the palace to steal the imperial meal, he traveled through many times, and he never had any interesting things, so he was a little excited.
The next day, before dawn, everyone secretly went into the palace and came to the imperial dining room, which should be empty at this time of day, but they saw many people busy preparing food.
Although there was a little accident, Hong Qigong didn't want to give up, Guo Jing saw this, so he said that he would go back today and come back in a few days, and Huang Rong's also saw his thoughts, so he said that these people don't know any martial arts, so no one will find out if they sneak in.
Her proposal was approved by everyone, so she looked for a place where no one was sneaking in, Huang Rong looked outside, and said a way, that is, to use light skills to enter from the upper floor, so the busy imperial chef and others on the first floor should not find out.
Everyone thought this method was good, so they jumped in through the window above, because everyone was busy on the first floor, so there was no one on the upper floor, so they also sneaked into the imperial dining room smoothly.
Hong Qigong wanted to wait here for the mandarin duck five treasures stew, and he didn't know what time he would wait, so he asked Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who had never been to the palace, to go out for a walk, and Zhou Botong came to a strange place, of course he wanted to play an adventure game, but with his character, no one would look at him after he went out, and he might break into something, so he didn't let the old naughty boy go out.
Although it was not the first time for Wu Sheng to come to the palace, he was still very curious about this place, so he also wanted to go out for a walk, but he did not follow Guo Jing and Huang Rong, but went out alone.
Speaking of the Imperial Palace, Wu Sheng felt that there was one thing that was very strange, because of many martial arts degrees, the power of the Imperial Palace was at most first-class, and it was difficult to reach the super-first-class or even the top power, just take this plane as an example, Huang Yaoshi once said that if his disciple Qu Lingfeng did not have a disability, a hundred internal guards would not be able to take it.
Huang Yaoshi's words actually contain water, if the hundred inner guards are relatively low-level, then there is no problem, if they are all at the same level as Shi Yanming, who killed Qu Lingfeng, it will be difficult.
Although Qu Lingfeng has a disability in his legs, his strength is at least about three or four layers of innateness, and if he can beat him to death, then Shi Yanming is almost at this level, but he has not seen it with his own eyes, and it is indeed difficult to guess the real situation about this matter.
However, there are also a lot of masters in the palace, although it may not be possible to recruit super-first-class masters, but there are definitely first-class masters.
Even if you don't, if you take out a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum or a thousand-year-old ginseng, you can feed some first-class masters, although there are some palaces that don't have these things, but there are always some precious things.
But because of his loyalty to the royal family, there are a lot of things to do every day, and there is not much time to practice martial arts, so there are many first-class masters, but there are almost no super-first-class masters, but the father-in-law, who is very free, has a lot of time, and there must be a lot of martial arts cheats in the imperial study, so it is not impossible to become a top master, otherwise how did the Sunflower Treasure Book come about.
Therefore, although the royal family can recruit first-class masters or become martial arts masters themselves, they also have to deal with things every day, and their martial arts are pulled down.
Of course, this was just Wu Sheng's speculation, but one thing was undeniable, there would definitely be treasures in the palace, and thinking of this, his heart itched, and he wanted to go to the imperial study or the place of the treasure pavilion to have a look.
This matter is not in a hurry to do, Wu Sheng wants to see if Chen Aodi is mixed with Wanyan Honglie's gang first, if this person is not there, he can go to the palace to take a look at it with peace of mind, if he is, he can only put down everything in his hand to help Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
They should be there now, and there is a waterfall in that place, so Wu Sheng is looking for a place where the water is relatively loud, it should be here, and he should also pay attention to whether there are any guards around, if there is, it means that Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Wanyan Honglie's gang have already handed over.
Wu Sheng was lucky, and before they could make a move, he took the first step to find them, only to see that Yan Honglie and those first-class masters, as well as Ouyang Feng, Yang Kang and others were all in front of an artificial waterfall.
And that Chen Aodi is not here, but Wu Sheng is not at ease, he still observes in the dark, and if he doesn't see them for a while, he can leave.
I saw that the Lingzhi Master and the Ghost Gate Dragon King Sha Tongtian went to check behind the waterfall, but they were beaten out, even so. But Guo Jing and Huang Rong were also found inside, and at this time, Ouyang Feng was about to make a move.
A figure suddenly ran out of the waterfall, this person was Huang Rong, I saw her running farther away, and then took out fireworks and put them in the sky, constantly shouting to catch the assassin. (To be continued......)
