The banquet at the palace did not end until the evening.

The sun shines brighter on this day than on yesterday.

Even His Royal Highness, who had been prepared for a long time, could not have predicted that the plan for this day had already been laid out, and as long as Yi Jing made up his mind, the outcome could not be changed.

Xiao Man handed over to Xia Ke in advance on the handwritten letter from Yu Feng, and he had already agreed with Yijing that on the first day of arrival in Beijing, he could do it.

Yu Haoxi has also been prepared to be left in the national post by Yu Feng late this day, and the showdown between the two is inevitable, in fact, even if Yu Feng does not ask for it, the monarch is bound to be entangled, how can he be willing not to keep the opponent closely guarded, so as to teach Yu Feng to have the opportunity to avoid people's eyes and ears and contact the secret people's actions? However, the envoys of Dalong are the guests of honor of the country, and if it is not for the king himself, no one can take on this task.

What's more, the Maharaja never expected that Princess Jin Yuan had "defected".

Three days ago, when the ceremonial officials sent by the mission were the first to arrive in Dajing and confirm that Yu Feng had entered the territory of Xiliang and was welcomed into the city today, Princess Jin Yuan immediately persuaded the queen that in order to appease "Qianpan" and at the same time make the prince feel at ease, she gave a lot of silk and jewelry, thinking that the queen recognized this marriage.

In fact, it is a hint of the beautiful scenery - three days later, the east wind is coming, ready to act.

Because there was an agreement a long time ago, there was no need to express it, even if the monarch was suspicious, he would not associate the Moon Queen's action of "showing grace and approval" with Yijing's escape.

Even if the monarch did not plan to involve Xiaoxiao, nor did he bluntly say that Yu Feng arrived in Beijing today, Yijing would still act according to the plan today.

However, since the Maharaja is in full swing, many precautions are of course not limited to prohibiting Yijing from contacting outsiders, separating Xiaoxiao from the secret garden that no one knows.

For example, he asked Xue Dongchang to garrison the Dajun's Mansion, strictly ordered that no one could enter or leave the inner house, and even instructed Kong Xilin not to leave an inch, so that when the Dajun had to guard against Yu Feng, he secretly watched Yijing and made up for the loophole that Xue Dongchang, the old man, was deceived in case he was deceived.

As for Wei Ran, who is related to Yu Feng on the surface, even if the Maharaja did not notice any of the "collusion" between him and Yu Feng, he did not neglect it.

He asked Wei Ran to take over Xue Dongchang's daily duties, and did not leave him in the mansion, but took him with him.

For example, in the evening of this day, when the Maharaja welcomed Yu Feng to the national post as the master and was responsible for entertaining, Wei Ran was actually serving at the national post.

This, of course, is not conducive to Yu Feng's plan.

However, it doesn't mean that Wei Ran can't get out.

Because Yu Feng wants to have a showdown with the Maharaja, he naturally can't be idle around him.

In front of many ceremonial officials, if the prince keeps a close eye on the king of Chu, it is not in line with diplomatic etiquette, so the prince has no choice but to use the excuse of "old love and personal friendship" to pass away the miscellaneous, talk with Yu Feng about the old, and reminisce about the old personal friendship before the official start of the military and political consultations between the two countries.

The people who have insight into the true identity of Yijing are all the personal guards of the great monarch's great trust, led by Xue Dongchang, who are all on guard in the mansion this day.

It is because Wei Ran is the deputy of the team, and there is no way to avoid the opportunity to get out quietly on the grounds of patrolling, and besides, the monarch is actually confident, and he does not think that Wei Ran is Yu Feng's secret person, and thinks that transferring Wei Ran out of the palace is a worrying move.

With Wei Ran alone, it is absolutely impossible to take Yijing away from the well-guarded Dajun's Mansion, under normal circumstances, with Xue Dongchang in the light and Kong Xilin in the dark, Wei Ran can't even enter the inner house to contact Yijing, in fact, Wei Ran has never shown any intention to the inner house, which undoubtedly makes the Dajun relax his vigilance.

Wei Ran has made meritorious contributions in the eradication of the Qing clan, and it is impossible for the Maharaja to abandon it after using it, not to mention that in order to use Wei Ran to lead the Qing clan into the urn, the Maharaja has also publicized his "life-saving grace".

Therefore, although the Maharaja is ready to take a slight precaution against Wei Ran, he will not be superficial.

What's more, between Wei Ran and Jin Yuan, there is also the bond of Wei Xi.

This is destined to doom Wei Ran, even if he is transferred out of the mansion today, he will have a great chance to take advantage of the chaos to get in - as long as Xue Dongchang is avoided, the rest of the soldiers only think that Wei Ran is a confidant of the Great Monarch, who cares about him coming in and out?

There will be a big chaos in the Dajun Mansion tonight, Xue Dongchang will be caught off guard, a large number of personal soldiers and servants, and even the Kyoto patrol will pour into the inner house, even if Wei Ran is mixed in, it will not be noticeable.

In fact, if Yijing had her little aunt Su Lianwu, she would no longer need Wei Ran's help today, and she would be able to get rid of the maid and enter the secret passage quietly.

But it's just that even if Yijing had already planned to send the maid in white, he didn't settle the skills of many ordinary maids with lightning speed, so that there must be a helper with martial arts to help him, so as to create the illusion of "taking advantage of the chaos to escape", so as not to expose Jin Yuan in the secret passage and be suspicious.

The night is deep.

The soldiers of the Great Monarch who were guarding outside the national post couldn't help but be sleepy, from whispering to yawning, they didn't pay attention to the whereabouts of the deputy guard Ran at all.

In the national post, Yu Feng settled down and smiled slightly: "Thank you again for admitting it." ”

The two have played three games after "taking the lamp", and all of them ended with the defeat of the Maharaja.

"Yuanyang is really calm." The Maharaja threw the chess pieces and leaned back slightly in his chair, smiling darkly.

Yu Feng just moved his eyebrows.

"Yuanyang obviously heard that I was about to be happy today, why didn't I congratulate him?" Someone is starting to be shameless.

Yu Feng only smiled: "Because I don't know the prophet, there are still twists and turns in this happy event of the Great Monarch, in my opinion, it will not be over." ”

"Does Yuanyang really have this confidence?" The Maharaja was clearly impetuous.

"It must be." Yu Feng also leaned back in his chair slightly, and looked at him: "The Great Monarch has worked hard to plan, but the result is already doomed when I learned that Qianpan was dying. ”

The Maharaja could barely hold back and blurted out - I have Xiaoxiao in my hand, and the fifth sister will definitely not leave with you.

But he endured.

He was so thoughtful, he didn't believe that Yu Feng would contact Yijing, the suspicious person was none other than Xiao, but when Xiao and Yijing were in contact, they were inseparable, and there was no private communication between the two, in fact, the prince was not sure whether Xiao was Yu Feng's secret person, so he naturally would not confess the chess pieces in his hand.

Our victory or defeat is not up to your wishful thinking.

"I'm curious why Yuanyang is so confident." The Maharaja chuckled.

Yu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip very leisurely: "Tonight, we'll see." ”

The monarch's eyebrows frowned, and he couldn't help but brush his sleeves up, but as soon as he took a step, he paused again, turned around and smiled: "Yuanyang, isn't it the method of agitation, so that after I leave, I will act cheaply?" ”

"Such a shallow plan, of course, can't be hidden from the Maharaja."

Yu Feng turned his head to look at the timing leak, put down the teacup steadily, and the corners of his eyes slanted slightly: "In my calculations, at this time, Neiko is already out of trouble." ”

"It can't be!" The Maharaja's expression changed drastically.

At this moment, there was a faint commotion outside, and a guard stood outside the corridor and shouted: "Your Highness, you need to be respected!" ”

The monarch wanted to reminisce with the king of Chu, so he naturally sent away the idle in the morning, and was harassed by his own soldiers at this time, which was in response to Yu Feng's "uncertain prophet".

The Maharaja became more and more impetuous, took two steps forward, and pushed the originally half-open window wide open with a "bang": "What's the matter!" ”

"Commander Xue sent people to communicate...... Fuchu Walking...... It is the green garden where the lady lives...... The fire was fierce......"

The Maharaja turned abruptly to look at Yu Feng, who was still calm.

Yu Feng shook his eyebrows slightly.

"Even so, she will never be able to get out of the Dajun Mansion, let alone be taken away from Xiliang by you!"

"Your Highness wants to play another game with me?" Yu Feng just pointed to the chessboard.

The Maharaja's expression was gloomy.

Yu Feng smiled lightly: "There are changes in the Maharaja's Mansion, so it's better not to delay in the National Post." ”

Is it to turn the tiger away from the mountain? So that the beautiful scenery can be mixed into the national station? No, it is impossible, even if Dongchang did not expect the change, but it was Luqing Yuan who caught fire, and he should know that the first priority is to settle the beautiful scenery, and it is impossible for people to escape from the chaos! There are also white-clothed ...... in Luqing Garden Damn it!

The Maharaja's expression froze.

But he calculated again, even if all the white-clothed servants were transferred, Pan'er would never let Yijing alone, and there was Kong Xilin staring in the dark, and he had already told him that if something happened, the only task was to keep an eye on Yijing.

But the Maharaja can't be at ease in the end, but if he leaves the country......

Yu Feng gently picked up a white piece and threw it into the porcelain urn: "It seems that the prince is not in the mood to compete with me in chess." ”

Whatever you do, don't get your way!

The Maharaja gritted his teeth, and after a while, he made up his mind and strode away—

"It should be the Qing clan's chaos and the party's rebellion, you must protect the safety of the envoys, idle people, etc., should not be put into the national post!" The Maharaja ordered in a deep voice.

Protecting Yu Feng on the surface is actually restricting him from entering and exiting freely and coming into contact with people.

When the Maharaja turned over and stepped on the saddle, it seemed that he realized that Wei Ran, who was supposed to be on the side, was nowhere to be seen.

His eyebrows frowned: "What about Wei Ran?" ”

——

At this time, Wei Ran naturally took advantage of the chaos of Xue Dongchang, who was at a loss by a fire, to order his soldiers to immediately rush to the inner house to put out the fire, and quietly mixed with the team of people and horses to sneak into the Hanging Flower Gate.

When the time of the fire was approaching, the bolts had been lowered everywhere, but Xue Dongchang, who was ordered to guard strictly, naturally did not dare to relax, the prince had not yet returned to the house, he still had to personally patrol and guard the access control everywhere, but unexpectedly, the gatehouse of the inner house even crawled out of the ground to pass the word - Luqing Yuan walked the water!

It's Luqing Garden!

Even though Xue Dongchang was not good at scheming, he also woke up at this time that something strange happened, most of which was the princess's way to get out, and immediately asked "Where is Madame"?

The concierge was also informed by the servant woman of the inner house, and he didn't know the details, so Xue Dongchang rushed straight inside.

When I arrived at the flower garden, I saw the flames raging.

The closer you get to Luqing Garden, the more smoke chokes.

Commander Xue saw that on the edge of Furong Hall, Yijing was standing by the water, surrounded by a bunch of handmaidens with disheveled hair and disheveled hair, among which there were naturally Pan'er and Xia Ke.

Of course, this fire was set by Yijing and Xia Ke together, since she received Yu Feng's handwritten letter, she understood Xia Ke, the master and servant quietly accumulated lamp oil little by little to help the fire, today Yijing rested very early, and Pan'er did not doubt it - Madame didn't rest well last night, and besides, Madame has never had the habit of letting people stay in the bedroom, and the prince didn't pay attention to it, and it was just that Pan'er and the maids were on duty at night and only stayed outside.

Yijing burned the bedroom, and Xia Ke took advantage of the plate to fall asleep, sneaked out and burned the next room, and the two fires together, Lvqing Yuan was in a panic.

This is not the time to investigate the cause of the fire.

Xue Dongchang saw that Yijing did not take advantage of the chaos to escape, and he was puzzled for a while, was this really an accident?

Yijing reminded Xue Dongchang very calmly: "There are only maids and servants in the inner house, and they are unable to put out the fire, so they should mobilize their own soldiers to enter, maybe there is still a shortage of manpower, and they should immediately send someone to notify the city guards, and it is best to mobilize the servants in the house to put out the fire with all their might, and try their best to control the fire." ”

You can't see the fire spread and burn down the entire house, right?

Xue Dongchang saw that there were many maidservants beside him, and Yijing couldn't get out, and then looked at Kong Xilin, who was hidden in the dark, and made a gesture of "everything is under control" to him, and he was relieved.

He is the commander, the king is not there, and the subordinate officials have returned to their respective homes, and he is the only one who can preside over the overall situation.

At that moment, he instructed the maids to leave the danger with the beautiful scenery and go to the relatively safe main courtyard to avoid trouble.

The main courtyard is the place where the Maharaja lives, and at most, if the soldiers leave there, there will be no way to get out.

With Kong Xilin secretly following, Xue Dongchang didn't think that a woman with no power to restrain a chicken could disappear.

This horseman's archery and the unsightly swordsmanship Xue Dongchang have a deep understanding, and he is sure that he can't even deal with the maidservant with Yijing's skills, not to mention that Kong Xilin is specially guarded.

Moreover, because Yijing was awakened by the fire after resting, it was important to escape, of course, it was impossible to take care of the clothes, and it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed at this time, his long hair was scattered, and his coat was only draped on his body, Xue Dongchang was really inconvenient to ask the soldiers to "escort" the disheveled lady to the main courtyard.

He could only instruct Pan'er not to leave an inch, protect Mrs. Quan, and then secretly made a gesture to Kong Xilin.

Then he was busy putting out the fire.

And the Maharaja's Mansion is close to the palace, the fire is together, of course, it will alarm the patrol guards, and someone will come to the door immediately, Xue Dongchang has to deal with it separately, presiding over the Beijing Guard patrol to assist in fighting the fire, and also have to arrange a collection of servants to put out the fire, and send someone to inform the Maharaja who is still staying in the national post, although Xue Dongchang has not forgotten to tell the access control not to be negligent, but such a hectic situation, the well-guarded Maharaja's Mansion is bound to be full of loopholes.

Wei Ran was originally a soldier of the Great Monarch, and he also carried the token of the deputy of the team, so he passed the gate without any obstacles.

It was simply an unimpeded entry into the second gate, of course, he did not go to the place where the fire was broken out, but went straight to the opposite direction, that is, on the road to the main courtyard, and waited for Yijing and the maidservants to arrive.

Most of the manpower is concentrated at the end of Luqing Garden, and the main courtyard is not affected by the fire for the time being, so it has become inaccessible.

Everything is in the planning, but Kong Xilin is an unexpected accident.

He followed Yi Jing and his party from a distance, and then saw Wei Ran suddenly burst out, and he joined hands with Yi Jing to put down the group of maids who were not proficient in martial arts - only Xia Ke was spared.
