"How can this be so annoying to Master Meng. The madman retracted his sleeves a little, covered most of the empty bowl under his sleeves, and excused himself: "Master Meng still tells us the place, and we can go by ourselves." ”
Meng Qi smacked his lips in disgust, "That's it...... Well, don't go through the front hall, there is a side door behind the imperial dining room from the front of this dining room, and the bowl will be placed there as soon as you enter. Be careful. This door is not easy to find, you should be careful. ”
"There's a hallway after you go in, and there's a door at the end, and as soon as you get out. There's a palace attendant there, so be careful. He wants to worship me as a teacher, you take this to him, just say I'll let him keep it secret. As he spoke, Meng took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the madman.
Hurt Madness smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Lord Meng." ”
"Well, hey, I'll always come and walk around if I'm fine. Meng Kuang was puzzled and did not forget to abduct these two "proud protégés" before leaving.
Ye Xinyun looked at him with bad intentions, swallowed his saliva, poked the wounded maniac with his elbow, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Let's go." ”
The madman also smiled at Meng Kuo awkwardly, "It must be, then we will go first." ”
"Okay, good......" Before Meng Kuan's words fell, he saw the three of them rushing to the dining room, and couldn't help but be stunned, why did these three people seem to be in a hurry? Oh, too, I should be afraid that I will go back late......
Thinking like this, Meng Kuang shook his head and smiled, and stepped on the stairs of the imperial dining room - he had come back to count the rice bowls to score them.
Here, Ye Xinyun caught a glimpse of Meng Kuang's back entering the imperial dining room, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to the madman: "How dare you tell him everything? What if he denounces us!"
Jiuqing also raised his face and said, "Yes, hurt brother, he looks at your expression so strangely." ”
Hurt laughed and shook his head, "He won't." ”
"How do you know?" asked the two in unison. Ye Xinyun glanced at Nangong Jiuqing and pouted, it seemed that he didn't like this tacit understanding.
The madman touched the tip of his nose and said meaningfully, "Smell it." With that, he quickened his pace and passed in front of the door of the dining room.
"What smells, you make it clear. Don't be so mysterious. Ye Xinyun hurriedly chased after him and asked curiously.
The madman couldn't help but smile, "There is nothing mysterious, that is, I can distinguish whether people's intentions are good and evil, and distinguish the taste of loyalty and treachery." Everyone's taste is different. ”
"So powerful?" Ye Xinyun was a little skeptical, but what Meng Kuang had just done made him believe a little more, and he couldn't help asking, "It's really fake." ”
The madness looked at Jiuqing's squinted eyes with a smile, and asked gently, "Do you believe it?"
"I believe it!" Jiuqing raised his hand and stretched it high, as if he had such a magical ability, looking very excited and proud.
The heart of the madman warmed, because at that moment it was like the thirteenth brother Pu'er back then, and the trust in himself was really like innate, which was touching.
"Why?"
This was asked by Ye Xinyun, he didn't understand why Jiuqing believed in the words of the madness so much, why he couldn't believe it immediately.
At this time, Jiuqing said a sentence that surprised both the madness and Ye Xinyun, he looked at Ye Xinyun seriously and said, "Because you have experienced too much, you don't know how to trust others." And I'm still naïve and simple. ”
Naive? Simple?
Ye Xinyun was stunned, and the madness was also stunned, he didn't expect that the child he thought could say such a shameful and helpless thing so seriously.
"Okay. Ye Xinyun looked into the distance and walked forward.
Jiuqing was suddenly stunned, and looked at the madness in confusion, "Brother Ye, what's wrong with him?"
"Nothing. Said to him with a mad smile, and looked at Ye Xinyun's back from a distance, "Okay, let's catch up." ”
As he spoke, the madness rushed to Ye Xinyun's back and whispered in his ear: "Actually, your taste is very simple. ”
"Enh?" Although Ye Xinyun was suspicious, he was also curious about the taste of himself in the mouth of the madman, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, "What do you mean? Can you know what kind of person I am?"
The madman patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't that obvious?" You're actually a ...... Kind people. With that, the madness went around to the front of Ye Xinyun, looking for the side door.
Jiuqing immediately chased after him, Ye Xinyun looked at his back from behind, stunned for a while, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised - he, I'm afraid he is the only one who says this about himself.
"I found it. The frenzy waved his arm and turned around and shouted to Ye Xinyun and Jiuqing, the two hurriedly stepped forward, and when they looked, they really found an inconspicuous knocker on the wall.
"This, can this be opened?" Jiuqing asked in frustration as he pulled the knocker, but it didn't move, it didn't work.
The madman shrugged and tapped on it again, and an empty voice came to his ears, and he said with certainty, "This is it." There should be another way to open the door. As he spoke, he looked around.
Ye Xinyun also eagerly swept her gaze to find a gap in this wall, eager to know the mechanism that controlled the side door.
"Hey, hurt brother, why didn't you let Master Meng show us the way just now, with him, are we afraid that we won't be able to open the door?" Jiuqing pulled the knocker for a long time but did not respond, panting and squatting on the ground along the wall and said.
Ye Xinyun directly replied for the madman: "You are stupid, our bowl is rotten, how can you let Meng Kuang see it." Even if he can ignore you running out of Chuxiu Pavilion, can he allow you to mess around in this imperial dining room?"
Jiuqing immediately thought of the plan for the trip that the madman had explained to them before going out—oh no, before going out the window—and couldn't help but smile shyly, "I forgot that you were going to smash all the bowls." ”
"Tsk, this kid really can't speak. Ye Xinyun continued to look for the mechanism angrily, not wanting to say anything more to this child.
Hurt Maniac smiled, "It's still small, it's still ......young," he said, and he was also a little tired and leaned against the wall, after all, it was very physically exhausting for them to run over such a long distance between Chuxiu Pavilion and the Imperial Dining Room.
At this moment, the madman suddenly felt something protruding in his hand, moved secretly, and immediately looked back, it was a protruding but inconspicuous pebble, if you don't touch its position carefully, you will only think that it is an ordinary stone as the other pebbles beside it.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xinyun saw the madman suddenly squatting down, and couldn't help but lean over to look, only to see the madman's men caressing a somewhat peculiar stone, he asked excitedly, "Is this a mechanism?"
"It should be ......," the madman tried to turn and squeeze the stone. Jiuqing also stepped forward curiously.
After a while, the palm of the injured maniac pressed the stone hard, it suddenly fell in, and there was a muffled sound of iron chains stirring above the heads of the three people, and the three of them looked up at the same time, but they found that the wall suddenly shook, and it was about to be flipped vertically, Ye Xinyun immediately pulled the injured maniac who was still squatting in place and pushed it open, only to see that the door was lifted until it was perpendicular to the wall.
The three of them looked at the wall above them in shock, a little dumbfounded. It's too much fuss for this imperial dining room to do such a thing, right?
But not to think too much, they looked at the movement in the door, a slightly short corridor, empty, empty, they looked at each other, and they all walked in with bated breath.
"Hurt my brother, is this method okay?" Jiuqing looked at the bowl in the hands of the two of them and couldn't help asking.
Ye Xinyun couldn't help but glance down at the empty bowl in his hand, and the cracks on it were still clearly visible.
It turned out that when the injury maniac was in Chuxiu Pavilion, he asked Jiuqing to scrape a layer of gum off the tree that had been cut down outside, and the three of them glued the pieces together again, so that the bowl of fraud still looked complete.
"Of course. Hurt Maniac smiled and nodded, looked at the wooden door at the end of the corridor, took a breath, and asked Ye Xinyun and Jiuqing, "Are you ready?"
"Open the door, isn't there a jade pendant!" Ye Xinyun didn't seem to like this tension and urged.
The madman smiled slightly, "Yes, okay." Before he could finish speaking, the door creaked open open.
"What people!"
The sudden brightness made the three of them squint, and this scolding startled the three of them, and immediately followed the sound to see that a black-faced palace attendant was glaring at the three of them.
The madness smelled an owl's sense of alertness from this person's body, and couldn't help but smile, took out the jade pendant and handed it over, "Our bowl has not been handed over, Master Meng asked us to make up for it quietly." ”
As soon as the man saw the jade pendant, he looked at the eye-catching word "injury" at the center of the madman's eyebrows, and was stunned, "Hurt the adult?"
"Yes, is that okay?" asked the madman humbly.
The man flattered and glanced at the wooden barrel beside him with a bowl, and smiled darkly, "Of course, the teacher said so, and it was the hurt adult, please, I will naturally ...... Quietly. ”
Ye Xinyun pursed his lips, "Sycophant." ”
"You!" the man arose and waited for Ye Xinyun.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce, this is the night master. The madman immediately stepped forward to introduce Ye Xinyun's identity, and sure enough, this trick was very good, and when the other party heard that it was Ye Xinyun, his face changed suddenly, "It turned out to be the little master of the night, disrespectful and disrespectful...... The ......"
The man looked at Jiuqing's small size, thinking that he would not be a powerful character, and sure enough, he said frantically: "He is the son of the patriarch of the Nangong clan." The man immediately secretly rejoiced that he had not offended the three men in front of him.
In fact, he himself is still upright, mainly because there is no need to be more true about this jade pendant and this little fact of effort, so he simply made a favor, he opened the lid of the bamboo tube, "Oh, Nangong Gongzi, ahaha, please." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, the madness and Ye Xinyun first stepped forward to put the bowl, and when it was Jiuqing's turn, he was about to step forward, but he didn't pay attention to hanging Ye Xinyun's ankle, only to hear the "grunt", even the person with the wooden barrel was mixed out, the porcelain bowl was shattered, and the black-faced palace attendant's face was suddenly covered with a layer of obscure red, holding his face and unable to speak.
