Chapter 729: Firecrackers Attract Masters
When the sky was dark, a small sedan chair with a green curtain stopped outside the back kitchen of the palace Shang Shan Division, and a cheerful voice came from the sedan curtain: "We are also the imperial doctor by order, there is no eighty-eight sedan chair and loyal dogs to open the way, and it will not be so sneaky, boring and boring!" β
"Be quiet, Miss, this is already inside the palace gate. With the script reserves in your head, you won't fail to understand the meaning behind a palace wall. Another voice whispered.
"Of course I understand that this is an evil place where power and wealth are intertwined. If you love someone, bring him to the palace; If you hate someone, bring him to the palace. It's a pity that it's not the ancient Forbidden City, it's just a small court in Nanjing, and it doesn't look brilliant at all. β
"The Ancient Forbidden City? You're talking about the Shuntianfu of Beizhili, and the next emperor will move the capital there. When the dynasty was opened, the foundation was shallow, and it must have been in the rich Yingtianfu, and it was rumored that there was an underground palace here, which was all made of gold......"
"Gold? Buried under our feet? The girl rushed out of the sedan chair, and out of nowhere she conjured up three grave-digging items: shovels, firecrackers, and searchlights.
The person behind her stroked her forehead and said: "The premise is that rumors, rumors, only exist in a beautiful imagination, Sister Qing'er." He Angelica didn't expect that her partner was not afraid of the solemn atmosphere of the palace at all, and she was even more out of her way than usual, and she regretted for a moment that she shouldn't have brought this girl in.
Qing'er's firecracker lead hung up on the lampshade, intending to use brute force to separate the two......
He Angelica immediately opened his eyes wide, and a "don't move" was still in his mouth, only listening to "Chirp!" Tweeted! The loud sound exploded in an instant, disturbing the night of the palace, which was unheard of. He Angelica, who has a good ear, swears that there are more than ten footsteps rushing here, and there are people in all directions. Where else is there that no one?
"Woo!" Qing'er turned around, showing a pretty face blackened by fireworks, and her eyes were full of tears. She threw herself into the arms of her petite sister, twisted her waist and cried, "It's terrible, my ears are wooden, I can't hear anything!" β
Anger!
Of course, Qing'er needs to be educated, but this is not the best time. He Angelica took a deep breath and told himself silently.
After looking around twice, this is actually the back alley of the kitchen of the imperial dining room, a place for slaughtering fresh livestock, and there are chickens and ducks sleeping in a row of bamboo baskets against the wall. He Angelica picked up Qing'er's collar, stuffed it into one of the empty bamboo baskets, and said to her solemnly: "Your task is to send snacks to Qi Mu'er, don't do anything superfluous, oh, the death-free gold medal given by Zhu Yunwen is left for you, don't take it out at every turn." β
There were more and more noises around, and from the momentum that broke through the air, it was clear that those people were probably the legendary Ouchi masters.
"Huh?" Qing'er pulled her throat like an old lady behind her ear, and shouted at He Angelica's face, "Xiaoyi, be louder, I can't hear what you say!" β
The sound of breaking the sky is even more urgent.
He Angelica knocked Qing'er unconscious without hesitation and put it at the bottom of the bamboo basket, on which were placed a few forks of straw and an old hen with hot feathers. This should be safe, He Angelica put on a hat and ran to the end of the alley, and soon bumped into someone.
The other party snorted, and through the veil of the hat, she vaguely felt that the person was a little familiar, and it might be a subordinate of the group of people she knew.
"Who trespassed on the Imperial Palace?" The man shouted, "It's too long! β
"Oh, there's a shooting star!"
He pointed to the heavens, and the man followed. Grabbing this precious gap, she used ten percent of the lost footwork to escape. The voice behind chased her and shouted: "Stop, there is a kind of person who leaves his name, what kind of hero is running away!" β
He Angelica went away from the dust, feeling that the ancestor Feng Yang who had lost his steps had never run wildly like this. She still retains her impression of the topography of the palace, and it is very useful to use it now. The Weiyang Hall that he ran just now is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang met the Taoist priest, and the small Qi Pavilion in front of him is the warehouse where the pills are stored, and there is a shortcut to the Shang Pharmacy.
β¦β¦
"Vice General Li, what's wrong?"
"Are there any assassins?"
Soon after He Danggui fled, a group of people attracted by firecrackers all arrived, in addition to the commander of the Great Inner Praetorian Guard, the twelve gatekeepers from Tianzi A and below, there were also Cao Hongrui of Dongchang and Duan Xiaolou of Jinyiwei. Everyone was dressed in double armor, holding one or two weapons in their hands, and they were surrounded by a fierce spirit.
If He Angelica saw this scene, she would definitely sigh at her good luck, because she chose the weakest direction to intercept, that is, Vice General Li who looked up at the stars.
Vice Admiral Li didn't dare to say the reason for his loss, so he had to lie: "The last general and that assassin have made two moves, and the opponent's martial arts are far above mine, and the light martial arts are even more appalling. Failing to stop the Assassin was a dereliction of duty. β
Sure enough, one of the listeners said: "Lao Li, you have done your best, what is the crime?" It's just that the assassins are too cunning, we guard the palace inside and outside like an iron bucket, and there are even fish that have slipped through the net. β
"The Assassin?" Another frowned and asked, "So there is only one Assassin?" "He is known as the number B of the heavenly word of wisdom.
Vice General Li nodded: "Looking at the figure like a woman, there is only one person, but the last general is not her opponent at all." By the way, looking at the back of her leaving, it seems to be a long-lost trace of the rivers and lakes, and she can't even see the afterimage in the blink of an eye. β
"Lost Steps, ......"
"What, you have a clue about Tianzi B?"
Tianzi B hesitated and said: "During the third watch of the night, a team of sedan chairs entered the palace with the warrant of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and returned the same way after half an hour. β
"Your Highness, Eldest Sun......," a strange laugh came from the crowd, "Then I'll have to wait until dawn to ask Your Majesty, and I hope that the assassin who was let go will not harm people's lives." Otherwise, how can His Royal Highness the eldest grandson explain to the saint. β
The person who spoke was Cao Hongrui, the head of the East Factory, who was about fifty years old, with thin skin and no Adam's apple, long eyebrows flying into his sideburns, and a smile in his fine eyes. The most unusual thing is that there is a layer of crimson rouge on the tails of the eyes and cheeks of that face, and the temperament is strange and indescribable. Although he only wears a plain robe, the coercion brought by people is oppressive.
This is the father-in-law Cao who talks about the change of "Cao" in the folk, and the 9,000-year-old man who is above 10,000 people under one person. When he opened his mouth to laugh, the people around him couldn't help but bow their heads deeply, trying to reduce their presence. Cao Hongrui and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, Zhu Yunwen, are not in harmony, which is a clichΓ© in the palace.
"No need!" A breezy and soft and decisive voice sounded, interrupting Cao Hongrui's strange laughter. The twelve Praetorian Commanders sweated on their foreheads and looked at the person who spoke.
Duan Xiaolou's hands were folded behind his back, and he said the following words with half-squinted eyes: "You don't need to report it to the Holy Lord to know, that sedan chair is the nurse arranged by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to the sixteenth princess, there are ten people in total, and Zhang Meiren left three of them after looking at them." The rest of the people were sent out of the palace after I checked, and there were no people like the Assassins. β
Oh, I see. Everyone suddenly realized that Zhang Meiren gave birth to the sixteenth princess Baoqing, and the saint loved it very much, and handed over the affairs of taking care of the sixteenth princess to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, so that he could take care of it.
But Marquis Duan, did you drink too much or didn't wake up, you old man, who has always been unconcerned about everything, why did you meddle in the battle between the nine thousand years old and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson? Don't you think the water is muddy enough? Nine thousand years old must have other thoughts, I hope it won't hurt the pond fish.
Everyone accepted Duan Xiaolou's reason, but Cao Hongrui still looked disbelieving, and asked: "If our family is not mistaken, the princess's nurse has already been finalized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, why was it selected from the people?" What's the secret in this? β
More than ten pairs of eyes looked at Duan Xiaolou, and after listening to a silence for a while, a nice voice sighed and said, "Since the nine thousand years old asked so, Xiaolou only has the truth...... There is indeed a hidden secret. β
Confessed, he actually confessed! The jaws of the crowd fell to the ground.
"Oh?" Cao Hongrui showed a hint of pride, and walked in front of Duan Xiaolou with coercion, "Don't you come from the truth!" β
If someone else is facing Cao Hongrui, there is a good chance that his legs will be weak. Duan Xiaolou's clothes had the slightest taste of wine, probably because he was really drunk, he didn't retreat but advanced, took a small step and put his hand on Cao Hongrui's shoulder, his red lips came to the other party's ear, but he said in a volume that everyone present could hear: "The secret is that after our saint accidentally tasted the little princess's drink, he was full of praise for the taste of human milk, and he had to drink several bowls every day." The little princess has been crying with hunger recently, and Zhang Meiren is anxious, so she asked the eldest grandson of the emperor to find a new nurse. β
Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, they didn't expect the so-called secret to be like this, the emperor is old, and it is really not a glorious thing to grab milk with his full moon daughter.
ββ¦β¦β
In the silence, Duan Xiaolou laughed "haha", turned around and strode away, waved his hand behind everyone's back, and said: "When others ask me, I refuse to say it, but I only said it when I am nine thousand years old, so everyone must keep it a secret for our saint." Once it reaches the ears of God, it is not very easy to do. β
The masters of the inner hall looked at the back of the drifting away, and then at Cao Hongrui, who was ugly, and secretly cried in their hearts, don't hurt the pond fish, little marquis, aren't you good brothers.
At the same time, in an inconspicuous medicine hall in the depths of the palace, a few rays of light came out through the window, and at this time, there should be no one in this place. The wind outside the window blew the window paper, and He Angelica suddenly smelled a trace of a smell that did not belong to the medicine house, stopped the movement in his hand, and quickly blew out the tile lamp on his knee.
There's someone behind you! Her feelings told herself.
"Sure enough, it's you." The man behind him said.
"Where there is danger, you will go wherever you go, there is an idiom called 'the sky is high and the earth is thick', you probably never understand its meaning."
"The powerful master in Li Su's mouth, I guessed it was you, but after thinking about it carefully, I laughed again. Let the killer-level person praise him as a master, and your skills will be good again. β
"Say, what do you want to do here, see if I can still hold it."
ββ¦β¦β
At this moment, He Angelica didn't have to look back, and he knew who was standing behind him.
