When he woke up, Song Nan turned over and sat up, but saw that the sunlight outside the window was shining directly into the room, but the room was empty, and the county lord of Ping'an and the pretty maid Qingluan were not in the room. Song Nan hurriedly woke up Wang Yong, who was snoring like thunder next to him, and Wang Yong got up and found that only himself and Song Nan were left in the room, and his face changed greatly.

"My lord, where are the master and servant of Ping'an County, it's okay now, we don't have a hostage at hand, it's all my fault, I didn't sleep if I knew it."

Song Nan frowned and said, "You still have the idea of taking her master and servant hostage?" From now on, we will leave the palace, but we must rely on the help of the county lord of Ping'an, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult for the palace to be in the palace. ”

Wang Yong was stunned and said in a low voice: "My lord, do you really believe that the county lord will help us get out?" ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "Of course I believe her." ”

Wang Yong said: "But after all, they are from the palace, how can they trust her?" ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "The king of Anhua occupies the magpie's nest, and the king of Qing and the lord of Ping'an have become the hosts, this lord of Ping'an is not simple, how can she be willing to be occupied by the king of Anhua?" Didn't you see it last night, even a deputy commander of the guards dared to be disrespectful to them, their current situation in the palace can be seen, we came to investigate the killing of my Jinyi guard spy by King Anhua, this Ping'an county lord should be unwanted. ”

Wang Yong thought for a while and nodded: "That's the case, but I always feel a little uneasy, after all, King Anhua and the people in the Qingwang Mansion are blood relatives, and they are both surnamed Zhu Zi, so I think they won't help outsiders." ”

Song Nan smiled: "This is a matter of course, even if it is a blood relative, if there is no room to survive, how can you care about this." You're afraid that they will break into the door with the palace guards, don't worry, it will never happen. ”

Wang Yong rolled his eyes and no longer hesitated, and soon after the sound of footsteps, the door was pushed open, Song Nan and Wang Yong hurriedly hid behind the bed, but saw that it was the pretty maid Qingluan who came in; Qingluan glanced at the floor in the corner of the wall, and found that the floor was empty, so he looked around in a daze, and shouted softly: "Song Gongzi? Are you there? ”

Song Nan appeared and said, "Miss Qingluan, we are here." ”

Qingluan sighed, and said with a smile on his face: "I'm scared to death, and I still think you ran away." ”

Song Nan said: "Where can we run?" I'm afraid it's still being searched outside. ”

Qingluan nodded and said, "I haven't stopped searching until now last night." The flowers and plants in the corners were searched, and the whole house was dispatched. ”

Song Nan and Wang Yong glanced at each other and smacked their tongues secretly, when there was a disturbance in the mansion, the two of them could stay in the county lord's boudoir safely, which could be regarded as God's blessing.

"I'm going to fetch water to wash the two of you, and there is some rice porridge on the table, all of which are warmed by fire, and the two adults will eat something after washing."

Song Nan thanked him, Qingluan turned around and went out, and after a while, he brought a large basin of water for Song Nan and Wang Yong to wash, and the two of them hastily rinsed their mouths and cleaned their faces, and when they came to the table, Qingluan had already opened the rice cover, and a small pot of rice porridge and a few plates of snacks were simmering on the small stove of fragrant cakes, fragrant.

Song Nan and Wang Yong were already hungry, and the two of them ate wildly, and after a while, a pot of rice porridge, a few dishes and snacks all fell into the stomach, Qingluan opened her mouth in surprise, she had never seen such a big appetite in her life, she and the county lord only half a bowl of rice porridge or fresh soup on weekdays, a small piece of dim sum was enough, and a meal for these two people was worth them for two days.

"I'm really hungry, and my appearance is a little ugly, don't blame Miss Qingluan." Song Nan wiped his mouth and smiled.

Qingluan covered his mouth and sneered: "It's really possible to eat, drink and sleep, you can eat such a big thing, the county lord didn't eat the second half of the bowl in the morning." ”

Song Nan smiled and asked, "The county lord is out?" It's not going to call the guards to get us. ”

Qingluan pouted and said: "The county lord fertilizes the plum tree in the yard, the plum blossoms in the yard are blooming very well, and they should be fertilized a few days earlier, the county lord said that when the plum blossoms bloom, the vitality of the flower tree is the most consumed, and if you don't add fertilizer at this time, it will not bloom well next year." ”

Song Nan was stunned and said: "The county lord of your family is also calm, there are two thieves hiding in the room, and he is still in the mood to serve the flowers and trees." ”

Qingluan said with a smile: "I don't know who the two of them snored like thunder last night, the county lord didn't sleep at all, he stayed in the house and made a lot of noise, so he could only go outside to be clean and clean." ”

Wang Yong scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "It's me who snores, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Qingluan said: "It's not embarrassing, it's not a big deal to make people can't sleep, but if it is heard by the mother-in-law and maids outside and notices that there are people in the room, it will be really troublesome." ”

Wang Yong smacked his lips and said, "I wouldn't sleep if I knew it, and I won't close my eyes tonight." ”

While talking, there was a sound at the door, and the voice deliberately raised by the lord of Ping'an came: "You all go, I want to sleep for a while, I am not allowed to come in and disturb, and no one is allowed to walk around and talk on the third floor." ”

Several maids and mothers-in-law whispered to agree to go downstairs, Qingluan quickly got up and opened the door to welcome the county lord of Ping'an in, the county lord of Ping'an was wearing a thin jacket, a red cloak, a hood on his head, a faint crimson on his fair face, and a slight sweat oozing from the bridge of his nose.

Seeing that Song Nan and Wang Yong were looking at him intently, the county lord of Ping'an blushed and said, "Song Gongzi is up?" Did you sleep well? ”

Song Nan bowed his hand and said: "It's very comfortable, but Brother Wang snored like thunder, and the county lord couldn't sleep all night, I'm really sorry." ”

The county lord of Ping'an smiled: "Yes, the snoring is like thunder, I am worried that the whole building can hear it, so let Qingluan use a towel to block the gaps between the doors and windows; Lord Wang snored so loudly that the family didn't know how to fall asleep. ”

Wang Yong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I can't hide it, my Hun family kicked me out of the door for this matter, and there is a special mask at home, which covers my head and face when I sleep, and my voice is much quieter." ”

It was the first time that Song Nan had heard that Wang Yong's house had such a thing, and looked at Wang Yong in surprise, but the county lord of Ping'an and Qingluan had already covered their mouths.

Qingluan took off the cloak for the county lord of Ping'an, took a towel and let the county lord gently wipe the sweat beads on his face, and carried Song Nan and Wang Yong to re-make up his makeup, and then came to the table and sat down.

"Lord Song, please come and sit down." The county lord of Ping'an greeted.

Although they were in the same room, Song Nan and Wang Yong also realized that when they were busy, Song Nan and Wang Yong stood at the window with their backs to them and looked out, not daring to look back.

"The house is still searching for the whereabouts of the two, it seems that there is no chance to send you out today, in the morning, the uncle took people out of the house, and I don't know what to do, but the more this time, the more I can't risk sending you out, you should understand the reason."

Song Nan nodded in understanding, but the anxiety between his eyebrows was beyond words.

"Lord Song is not anxious, today is the fourteenth day of the first month, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, tomorrow I will go out of the house to the City God Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, maybe I can take the opportunity to take you out of the house." If there is no chance during the day tomorrow, there will be lanterns in the city tomorrow night, this is still a chance, two chances can always be one, please Lord Song patiently bring it here for two days. ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Thank you so much for the county lord's help, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." It's actually good to stay here, but I'm worried about the outside world, I won't go back to Guanxue Tower for a few days, and my subordinates are worried and don't say anything, in case King Anhua suspects me, or if an official visits, isn't it all exposed? That's what worries me the most. ”

The county lord of Ping'an heard Song Nan say that: It's good to stay here, and he couldn't help but blush, but after listening to Song Nan's words, his expression immediately became stern, and he frowned: "The slave family didn't expect this, this is indeed a problem, you are a big man, the officials in Ningxia Town will visit you if they have anything to do, if you don't show up, even if you don't suspect you, you will be suspicious of you." ”

Song Nan said: "So, no matter what, I have to send the news that I can't get out of the palace back to Guanxue Tower, and teach them to deal with it." ”

The county lord of Ping'an pondered: "How to deal with it? ”

Song Nan said: "I have thought about the way to deal with it, but the news can't be sent, I will write a few words, if it can be sent to Lord Yang of Guanxue Building, things will be easy to do." ”

The county lord of Ping'an said: "This is easy to do, let Qingluan run for you, and say that it is to buy gouache and rouge for me on the street." ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "Yes, but I'm worried that Miss Qingluan will be able to get rid of the person who is watching and enter the Guanxue Building, there are dense spies outside the Guanxue Building, if the Qingluan girl appears directly, I am afraid that it will immediately arouse suspicion, and directly suspect the county lord, wouldn't it be even worse at that time?" ”

The county lord of Ping'an frowned and nodded: "This worry is not superfluous, that day Qingluan went to fetch Yaoqin for me to return, and my uncle and prince have inquired about this matter, obviously the palace also has secret agents near the left side of Guanxue Tower." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "That's natural, a few Uighur servants in the building are afraid that the prince has placed eyeliner next to us." ”

"Uighur steward? When the slave family lived in Guanxue Tower, none of the servants they served were Uighurs, and it seems that all the people had changed. ”

Song Nan said: "This is not difficult to understand, we have also been prepared for a long time, and we have also sent people to keep an eye on them; The question is how this news can be transmitted back to the Snow Tower. ”

Both of them fell silent, unable to think of any good way for a while.

Qingluan, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "County Lord, why don't you take the risk of sending Lord Wang out of the mansion, Lord Wang will return to Guanxue Tower to report the news, isn't it all solved?" ”

The county lord of Ping'an turned his head sideways and said, "It's light, how to send him out?" If you can send it out of the house, wouldn't it be better to send it out of the house with Lord Song? ”

Qingluan hurriedly said: "Isn't it the fourteenth day of the first lunar month?" In the morning, there should be a porter in the kitchen who brought food in, and I remember that the figure of the porter who picked vegetables and brought them into the house was very similar to Lord Wang, and he was also five short and strong. The maid was thinking, can you let Lord Wang pretend to be the porter and go out of the house, isn't that everything solved? ”

The county lord of Ping'an's eyes lit up and looked at Song Nan; Song Nan said: "Is there only one porter?" ”

"Yes, every Thursday every month, there will be porters to deliver food into the house, and there are porters in each kitchen, all of whom have names and surnames, and the guards will also check their identities; Lord Song's figure may be difficult to pretend, but Lord Wang can definitely pretend. With a slight change in physiognomy, they are all black faces and messy beards, but in fact, they don't look much worse. ”

Song Nan patted his thigh and said, "Okay, then take a risk, brother, you go out to report the news, and then you go out and say that one is the one who goes out." ”

Wang Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can it be done, how can I leave my adult and go out by myself, am I still human?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "I don't know how stable it is for the county lord to take care of me here, what else do you have to worry about." Even if you can't get out, you won't be fine if you stay here for a year and a half. You have to go out and report the news, which is very important, and it would be terrible if someone found out that I was not in the Snow Tower. ”

Wang Yong said helplessly: "But my lord, you are alone in the palace, if there is any leakage, you will die in your humble position." ”

Song Nan said: "Do I look like I'm going to have an accident?" Besides, do you have a way to protect me from rushing out? Don't worry about going on an errand, this matter is very important, you have to be careful when you go out of the house, don't show your feet. ”

Wang Yong also knew that what Song Nan said was the truth, and it was useless for him to stay here, if he had the opportunity to mix out, he could make some arrangements outside, so as not to expose the matter of the adult's fall into the palace.
