This secret passage is very wide, and as soon as you enter, the oil lamp burns, and it does not feel like it has just burned, but it is always lit here to ensure the right light. And in the secret passage, there is actually a horse that has been kept here all year round. There are a lot of them, and they don't need this horse with light work all the way, but Rong Yunxi can just use it. Mounted on his horse, listened to their footsteps, and chased after them, just make sure he didn't get too close to them.

Out of the secret passage, Rong Yunxi saw that he had not yet arrived at the place where he was guarding out of the city, so he hurriedly turned back and went to Linlang Pavilion......

Rong Yunxi had already felt that King Chen's financial resources were too strange, and if he said that he had no property in secret, the ghosts would not believe it. And in the way of business, King Chen has some ideas, since she started to run a restaurant and tea shop, King Chen has given her a lot of good advice. In just a few months, she has already made a lot of money. This time, I heard that the secret passage was in the Linlang Pavilion, and Rong Yunxi guessed that the Linlang Pavilion was the property of King Chen. So at this time, I went directly to Linlang Pavilion, but I was also relieved.

Late at night, the roads in Kyoto City were empty, but in the days when the emperor was not in Kyoto, the night patrol in Kyoto was more cautious than in the past, and Rong Yunxi naturally did not dare to ride a horse into the market. Instead, he went outside the main city, released the horses, and sneaked back into the city quietly.

Even in the middle of the night, the front and back doors of Linlang Pavilion are lit up with red lanterns, which are much brighter than other shops in this road that is not the main street, and the red lanterns are particularly conspicuous compared to other shops. I have been to King Chen twice, and Rong Yunxi knows where the back door of Linlang Pavilion is. At this critical juncture, the back door must be guarded as a response. Therefore, when I first entered this street, I went around the back street and went directly to the back door of Linlang Pavilion.

Sticking it on the wall of the back door, he looked left and right, waited for a while, and made sure that he was not followed, so he gently knocked on the courtyard door of Linlang Pavilion.

Sure enough, after only two gentle knocks, I heard a low, eager footsteps in the courtyard. Immediately, someone asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" ”

"The people of King Chen's Mansion." Rong Yunxi replied in a low voice.

"But what do you need to buy urgently? If you don't have anything to buy urgently, can you wait until the store opens tomorrow? The guy inside asked.

"I don't have anything to buy, but I'm going to Huixianju ......" Rong Yunxi said, took off the blood jade bracelet on his hand, put it on the crack of the door, and said: "I think you should recognize this thing, I am Princess Chen, I have something urgent to go to His Royal Highness, and it was Pu Jia who told me here." ”

The guy took the lantern and looked at it carefully, and from the piece that could be seen in the crack of the door, it seemed that the thing stuffed in the crack of the door was indeed blood jade. His Royal Highness King Chen once took a blood jade bracelet in the pavilion, which was given to the princess. But this can't conclude that the person outside the door is Princess Chen, what if someone deliberately deceives them?

Listening to the voice, it was indeed a woman, but for a while, she couldn't tell if it was Princess Chen's voice. After all, there are too many guests in the pavilion every day, and it is not so easy to remember the sound you hear. You still have to see your face to be confirmed. Therefore, he said: "Wait a minute, the little one will go back and get the key, so that he can open the door for the guest." ”

Rong Yunxi knew that he was procrastinating, and he should have gone to find a way to determine her identity. Seeing them so cautious, Rong Yunxi was relieved. Just stand closer to the door, so as not to be discovered by someone with a heart.

The man gently lowered the lantern in his hand and went to the edge of the courtyard wall. As soon as he lifted his breath, he jumped to the courtyard wall easily and silently. Glancing down, there was no one else on the long street except for a man in men's clothes hiding in the doorway. By the light of the lantern at the door, I took a closer look at the faces of the people outside the door and found that it was indeed Princess Chen. Only then did he fall quickly and quickly opened the door for Princess Chen.

said in a low voice: "I neglected Niangniang, and I hope Niangniang will forgive me." ”

Rong Yunxi walked into the courtyard quickly, and when he heard the young man plug the courtyard door, he said, "You are cautious, this is very good." ”

After entering the house through the back door, he whispered, "Take me directly to the secret passage." ”

"Yes," the man replied and said in a low voice, "I was discovered by mistake, and His Highness ordered someone to open the entrance to the secret passage in the small room." I had to ask the mother to deign to come here with the little one. ”

The man led to a small room on the east side of the first floor with only a curtain as a door. Rong Yunxi followed him to the house, and saw that the man had removed a round table in the room, and under the round table was a somewhat shabby coarse cloth carpet. The man removed the carpet, and he could see that there were some faint lines on the ground.

The man said, "Mother, this is it, open this little door, and there are steps to go down." There is a horse in the secret passage, but the road is very long, so you must be careful. ”

"Good. When I go down, seal the secret passage. Rong Yunxi said.

As he spoke, he squatted down and opened the small door. It may be convenient for the people inside to come out, this small door is not locked, and there is no mechanism, so it is easy to open.

Rong Yunxi entered the secret passage, and when he went down the steps, he saw a horse tethered, and there were oil lamps on both sides, which was not dark. Rong Yunxi untied the horse and galloped away along the secret passage at a fast pace......

In Huixian's residence, King Chen was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, and King Jing was already lying on the round table and napping because he couldn't hold on. If the situation outside is not good, even if King Chen can sleep with a strong heart, King Jing must not have the heart to take a nap. But by this time, the noise outside had subsided.

King Yong's army could not cross the rockery for a long time, Li Zhonggui went to the rockery in time and shouted, saying that His Majesty was in the Chengtian Pavilion at this time, so that they should not quarrel around His Majesty to rest, and retreat quickly, and His Majesty would not be held accountable. If you dare to continue to act recklessly, Your Majesty will not spare you.

Although Huang Jingde raised his arms and said, "Don't believe the nonsense of this eunuch, this eunuch has been bought by the traitor", but the fluctuation of people's hearts is unavoidable. There must be this reason for the ensuing long attack.

But Li Zhonggui came out and shouted like this, and after an hour, he issued His Majesty's will to punish Huang, Zhang, Ji, and Yu and the four families and nine clans, but it was useless to make them stop. Because His Majesty did not show up.

It's always been just Li Zhonggui showing up to deliver the decree, which is instead saying that His Majesty is really dead. But as long as there is no definite news, some people believe it and some people don't believe it. In the ranks of King Yong, it is a foregone conclusion that people's hearts will fluctuate. In addition, he couldn't attack for a long time, so he naturally had to change his strategy, so King Yong ordered people to retreat behind the rockery. Until dawn, or even longer, it will be used for rest, and will not continue to attack.

After King Yong withdrew his troops and withdrew from the vicinity of the rockery, King Chen ordered to only defend and not attack their army, and the melee in the palace was temporarily stopped.

At this time, the Mengshan Palace was shrouded in a pre-dawn gloom, so quiet that there was not even the sound of footsteps walking and patrolling.

In a daze, King Jing opened his eyes and saw a morning star lit up outside the window. Suddenly he got up, opened the door and looked outside. But on King Yong's side, there is still no movement. If you listen carefully, there is no intention of resting and attacking again.

King Chen turned over comfortably, stretched his waist, moved into the bed, and patted the side of the bed in a daze: "Don't toss, come and sleep for a while......"

After saying that, he snored lightly again.

King Jing pointed at King Chen, gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice: "You, when will you be able to grow a little heart!"

In fact, I also know in my heart that his third brother is not unambitious, but because he has a certain number in his heart, he eats everything accurately, and he is not flustered, so he can be so leisurely.

But he couldn't be as calm as his third brother, and he was always afraid that something would suddenly go wrong, so he still went to the table to guard and be cautious.

About once again in a dream, the sky was already bright. The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone in through the window, and King Chen did not pull the curtain of the bed, and when he turned over, he was awakened by the light outside. This time, he suddenly came to his senses.

Originally, he planned to sleep until dawn, thinking that if his eldest brother rested quickly, at the earliest, the soldiers would be provided with dry food, and they could take advantage of the fact that the people on their side were sleepy in the early morning before attacking.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt someone pushing the bed board hard under him. After listening quietly for a while, I could hear that the people underground had changed from pushing to beating, and the sound of "knocking on the bedboard" was very harsh in the quiet room in the early morning.

Before he could say anything to ask who it was, he saw King Jing lying on the table get up suddenly, and when he got up, he had already drawn his sword and shouted: "Who is it?" ”

King Chen smiled: "It's okay, the voice from the secret passage should be our people." ”

smiled easily, but this heart has already mentioned the throat and eyes. If it's lightning and chasing the wind, they're fine, but if it's Pu Jia or Cheng Dazhi...... It's that something happened to Wanxi.

King Chen hurriedly opened the bed, but he didn't let people out immediately, but pressed the secret door on the bed board and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Knock knock knock......" Under the bed, there was only the sound of banging on the bed board, which sounded a little urgent.

No one responded to who it was, and King Jing couldn't help but be vigilant again and approached with his sword.

This time, King Chen didn't say anything to make King Jing relax, but became equally cautious and asked again, "Who is it?" ”

"Knock knock knock ......" is still the sound of banging on the bed.

King Chen's face sank, and he turned around and reached out to King Jing to ask for the sword in his hand. Leaving the bed, he stared at the bed, ready for battle.

Rong Yunxi pushed it twice more, and found that the thing pressing on the bed was suddenly gone, so she easily pushed open the secret door, and with a "hey" sound, she was very surprised.

Although it was only a brief sigh, King Chen immediately heard that it was Rong Yunxi's voice, and suddenly, the seriousness on his face turned into a tangled. King Jing looked at King Chen's suddenly changing expression, and the look of joy or displeasure, and the sense of worry instantly subsided, and was replaced by surprise.

"Oops...... I said you're making it too inconvenient...... Why are you in bed......" Rong Yunxi climbed out with his hands on the bed board, and when he saw that he was in bed at this time, he couldn't help but complain.

"Three...... Third sister-in-law? Seeing the person who crawled out, King Jing was almost shocked! Didn't the third brother command? said that Pu Jia watched the third sister-in-law, and she couldn't even get out of the courtyard gate of Zhaode Temple. And the third brother said that he didn't tell the third sister-in-law that there was this secret passage at all.

King Chen was just surprised, joyful, and worried...... After a lot of emotions mixed with entanglement, he immediately calmed down, and asked with a deep face, "What are you doing here?" ”

Hearing King Chen's tone, Rong Yunxi didn't pay attention to him, and jumped out of the secret passage first. jumped out of the secret passage, closed the secret door again, and carefully laid out the quilt for him......
