In other words, why did Xiao Yunjin, the Empress Dowager of Fatian, suddenly appear in Zhaoming Palace, and carefully examine the juggling team?

It turned out that all this was indeed a ghost made by Ye Pei.

When Ye Pei got the secret path diagram, he naturally wanted to test the truth and falsehood. However, Ye Pei had been to the Zhongjing Imperial Palace several times before, but he had suffered a loss and returned, and he did not dare to enter rashly.

Entering the palace with the juggling team today is indeed a good opportunity to hide people's eyes, how could Ye Pei miss it?

She first followed the juggling team into Zhaoming Palace, and left while people were unprepared.

Ye Pei was already familiar with the secret passage diagram, she successfully found the entrance of Zhaoming Palace, twisted the three-colored camel figurines of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion cracked a crack, and Ye Pei slipped into the secret passage.

Successfully entering the secret passage, Ye Pei was also really shocked by Yelu Sect in his heart. There was a secret passage in his dormitory that he didn't know, if the killer suddenly appeared, how could Yelu Zong really resist it?

But after thinking about it, whether it was Xiao Yunjin or King Langya, they didn't dare to kill the reigning emperor so blatantly, right? After all, Yelu Zongzhen is a rightful monarch to succeed to the throne.

This secret passage is built, it is difficult to ensure that they don't get poisoning, assassination and other things, think about Yelu Zongzhen has to watch out for these every day, life is really tiring.

Ye Pei felt the wall and walked forward while thinking. She crossed the diagonal of the diamond-shaped floor tiles as indicated on the map, and pressed the cross mark on the wall every five glass lamps.

Ye Pei didn't dare to be careless, she knew that this secret passage was full of traps, if she made a wrong move, either the iron cage would fall from the top, or a sharp knife would emerge from the ground, or ten thousand arrows would be fired at once, and she would die an ugly death anyway.

Ye Peixin said: No wonder this secret passage is not guarded by guards, such a dense organ of uninformed people break in, can only go and have no return, and send guards to guard it to increase the chance of exposure.

Thinking about it, Ye Pei first went to the Yongkang Palace, which was close to him, to test it.

After she arrived, she leaned against the wall and listened for a long time, but there was no movement, and then she was ready to go out of the secret passage.

The secret passages can be opened at both ends, Ye Pei twisted the mechanism lightly, opened a crack first, and saw that there was no one outside, and opened it larger, and successfully drilled out of the secret passage.

At this time, the dormitory of Yongkang Palace was empty, only a small palace maid in the outer room was dozing there.

Where did Xiao Yunjin go? Ye Pei was puzzled.

She turned around, then dodged back into the secret passage and walked in the direction of Langya Palace.

But when she left, she ran into big trouble again, she didn't expect to meet King Langya and Xiao Yunjin in the secret passage.

It turned out that Xiao Yunjin was very depressed in the past few days. It's been more than a month, and Xiao Xiaoxian still hasn't heard from him, except for his own wife and children, who is really anxious, it is his sister, the Empress Dowager Fatian, Xiao Yunjin.

Xiao Yunjin paced back and forth in the dormitory, anxious, but he didn't know who to talk to.

"It's about to be Xia Bowl, how can Xiao Xiaoxian disappear at such an important moment? Alas, I thought that he was able to exterminate the rebels, but I was disappointed! ”

Not to mention his waste wood brother, Xiao Yunjin is now mainly thinking about what to do next. "There is nowhere to place nearly 100,000 troops, do I want to discuss with Xiao Xiaohui now, or do I confirm with Xiao Xiaoyou? Xiao Xiaohui is timid, and Xiao Xiaoyou's kindness is not as powerful as Xiao Xiaoxian. Or maybe it's the King of Langya—"

Thinking of King Langya, Xiao Yunjin was angry, "This Yelu slave! Ever since Xiao Xiaoxian was defeated, he looked like he didn't care, as if these things had nothing to do with him. Even the number of times he entered the palace was less. ”

But didn't Xiao Yunjin know why King Langya's attitude changed so quickly?

And not because of those military powers!

Yelu Yanu proposed to Xiao Yunjin more than once to take over Xiao Xiaoxian's military power, but Xiao Yunjin still couldn't fully trust him, and she looked forward to Xiao Xiaoxian's return. After all, a lover can't be compared with his own brother, a lover will change his mind, and the blood relationship will not.

But the blood relationship is also unreliable, how many coups have been made by their Yelu family since the founding of the Great Liao? It can be seen that family affection and love are nonsense, and only the right is in your own hands that is the most reliable.

Xiao Yunjin naturally understood that if she really handed over these military powers, she and Yelu Chongyuan would really become orphans and widows, and they would have to rely on King Langya to survive.

It's a pity that I don't know how to command the army, otherwise I still need to fake others?

But then again, it's about how to cultivate your cronies. If you do everything yourself, won't you be tired to death? Where is the time to indulge in pleasure? Xiao Yunjin had fifteen buckets of water in his heart, seven up and eight down, and it was very chaotic.

King Langya!

Xiao Yunjin bit his lower lip, and he still had to retract him.

She instructed Zhixuan, the trusted palace maid beside her, to say, "Go, follow me to the Langya Palace." ”

Zhixuan looked at the bright sky and said in her heart, "Now?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered in broad daylight? The answer was, "Yes!" She knows too well the temper of her queen mother, who has always had the temper to do whatever she wants.

Zhixuan turned a screen at the head of the Queen Mother's bed, as if a path appeared out of thin air, and the master and servant dodged in.

Zhixuan held a palace lamp to lead the way in front, and Xiao Yunjin followed behind.

The passage is not spacious, but it is not dark either, and glass lamps hang on the walls on both sides. There are many mechanisms in it, and if you make a mistake, there will be no bones, so there is no need for guards to guard it. And are all the guards reliable? Xiao Yunjin couldn't trust them.

Xiao Yunjin walked quickly, and walked to the exit of Langya Wangfu in a quarter of an hour.

Zhixuan gently snapped the big copper ring in the mouth of the stone statue in front of her, one fast and two slow, this is a code.

After waiting for a few breaths, the stone statue cracked to the sides, and a ray of light shone out of front of it.

"I don't know that the Queen Mother is coming, Xiao Wang has missed the welcome, please forgive the Queen Mother!" Xiao Yunjin walked out of the secret passage, and the first person he saw was the burly and handsome Langya King Yelu Yenu.

Although Yelu Wild Nu said respectful words, there was a smile on his face without a serious expression.

This is the bedroom of Yelu Yanu, and it is the most private place in the palace of Langya Wang. Xiao Yunjin often has trysts with King Langya, and she doesn't know how many times she has been to this room.

Waiting for Zhixuan to withdraw, Xiao Yunjin didn't see it, twisted his waist and half-leaned on a chaise longue and said, "Hmph, can you still remember me?" I don't know which little vixen has taken away my soul. ”

Yelu Yanu came over and sat next to Xiao Yunjin, took Xiao Yunjin's hand and kissed it on his lips, and said with a seductive smile: "How can those little girls who are ignorant of the world have your charm?" I see that your skin is getting fairer and fairer after taking those Blood Nourishment Pills, and you can break it by blowing it! As he spoke, he twisted Xiao Yunjin's face again.

Xiao Yunjin said coquettishly: "I hate it! You will deceive me with these words. ”

King Langya smiled again, his smile was full of top-notch charm. "The Queen Mother is extremely smart, who can coax you."

These words had already made Xiao Yunjin unable to hold on, and he collapsed on the chaise longue weakly. Yelu Nu climbed onto her body and gave Xiao Yunjin what he wanted most.

Xiao Yunjin was satisfied, and Yelu Yenu also proposed what he wanted.

"The 100,000 palace tent soldiers under the King of Chu can't always be left unled, right? If the rebels kill the rifles, won't they sit back and wait for death? ”

"What are you anxious about, it's not that I don't know what you're capable of. It's just that the whereabouts of the King of Chu haven't been found yet, so I have to give all the soldiers an explanation. ”

Yelu Yenu's face darkened, "That's not all to blame Xiao Xiaoxian's ......" Yelu Nu took Xiao Yunjin's thoughts and swallowed the second half of the curse.

"It's also to blame those rebels for being cunning and cunning, and they even thought of a way to steal beams and change pillars and confuse the hearts of the army. Xiao Xiao suffered this loss first, the Queen Mother can no longer be fooled, those military powers must be handed over to the powerful commanders. ”

"I know, I know." Xiao Yunjin changed his mind and said, "You have been searching outside the city for so long, and you really haven't found Xiao Xiaoxian's whereabouts?" ”

"Didn't Xiao Xiaoyou find any clues over there? It's not that I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will be sad, but I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. ”

Xiao Yunjin's heart twitched, she was not without this kind of speculation, she wanted to see people in life, and she had to see corpses in death, she always had one in ten thousand hope before she saw her brother's corpse.

Yelu Yenu changed the topic and asked, "How is the Queen Mother preparing for the matter of Xia Xuan's bowl?" ”

"Naturally, it was done, but the rebels disrupted part of the previous plan."

Yelu Yenu snorted coldly: "Aru not only doesn't have the strength to rebel now, he just relies on the thick snow and dense forests of the Seven Golden Mountains, and when the spring snow melts, he will have nowhere to hide." When the time comes, you will divide my 50,000 soldiers and horses, and promise to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor. ”

Xiao Yunjin said: "Well, I know that you have the best way." When the situation is stable, I will also learn from the Empress Dowager and make you the regent, so we don't have to be so sneaky anymore. ”

Yelu Ye Nu said in his heart: "Where are you comparable to a hair of the Empress Dowager?" Only a man like Han Derang who really eats soft rice would be willing to be a regent for the rest of his life. ”

But Yelu Yenu smiled on the surface and said: "I'm afraid your achievements will surpass that of the Empress Dowager Chengtian and become the first queen in the history of the Great Liao." ”

"You're going to coax people." Xiao Yunjin was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered.

The two discussed some details during the summer bowl, and Xiao Yunjin prepared to leave.

But just as Xiao Yunjin opened the secret passage and was about to leave, a figure appeared in the secret passage.

Both parties discovered each other's existence at the same time, Ye Pei quickly ran back, King Langya chased into the secret passage with a brisk step, and Xiao Yunjin also followed.

Ye Pei was still a few feet away from the exit of Langya Palace, but the exit suddenly turned on, and she knew that someone must have come down. I hurried back.

Although this secret passage is not narrow, it is not spacious, and it goes straight to a place where there is no hiding.

There was only one thing, Ye Pei figured out at this time, in addition to the purpose of fornication and assassination, this secret passage must also have the purpose of escaping. Therefore, it is not a straight passage, and there will be a small misalignment in the five steps, so as to prevent the rear pursuers from shooting bows, arrows, crossbow arrows and other sharp weapons when fleeing.

It was precisely because of this incident that Ye Pei was not shot by King Langya, who was chasing behind him.

Although Ye Pei's light skills are high, after all, he is not as many as King Langya who has walked this secret passage, and in a panic, he has to skip the hidden mechanism according to the number of steps. The distance between the two people was soon caught up by King Langya.

Yelu Nu suddenly made a move, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Ye Pei's heart.

Ye Pei heard that the evil wind behind him was not good, and a "spirit fox flying around" turned around to face King Langya head-on. She suddenly threw out a long silk rope in her hand, and a small silver ball was tied in front of the silk rope, which hit the door of King Langya.

It turned out that Ye Pei disguised herself as a juggler to enter the palace, and she would be searched at the palace gate, so she naturally couldn't bring a fish and dragon whip.

There were performances of high-altitude rope throwing and high-altitude swings in the juggling, and Ye Pei was inspired by this and made a self-made silk rope weapon.

The silver ball is tied to the front of the silk rope, which does not affect the performance, and if you really want to move your hands, similar to the dancing of the fish and dragon whip, Ye Pei is also very easy to use.

As soon as King Langya caught it, a person with a grimace suddenly appeared in front of him and shook out a piece of silk rope, and he had to retreat sharply.

Although the king of Langya is tall and mighty, he is extremely fast, he stepped forward with his left foot a "cat and tiger step", and his right hand grabbed the silver ball at the front end of the silk rope, and the left hand pulled, and the silk rope was broken with a "thorn pull".

Ye Pei saw that the right sleeve was broken, and secretly regretted that this silk rope really didn't have a fish dragon whip.

King Langya didn't expect the other party's weapon to be so vulnerable, so he threw the silver ball in his hand at Ye Pei. If this blow is hit, it will also break the tendon and fracture.

Ye Pei didn't dare to make a hard connection, threw out the silk rope in his left hand, wrapped the silver ball, borrowed his strength to go back, and was taken by the silver ball with a leap of several steps, hooking it back into his hand.

Yelu Yenu chased after him again, and pushed Ye Pei's heart with both palms, which was a move in the tiger fighting gong to "push Huashan".

Ye Pei leaned over and dodged his palms, kicked the wall with his left foot, and kicked with his right foot, but he slid past Yelu Yenu like a pen walking dragon.

King Langya did not panic, he turned around with a heavy shoulder, and struck another "double elbow" and pounced on Ye Pei.

The martial arts used by King Langya belong to the traditional Khitan kung fu, pay attention to external skills, vigorously advance, fierce and vicious methods, and have anti-joint fighting skills, which is really a master among masters.

The place in the secret passage is very small, and two people can't fully use it. Ye Pei saw the upper hand after dismantling a few moves. If it weren't for the fact that she had practiced the internal strength given by the monk before, I am afraid that she would have been suppressed by King Langya at this time.

Around like this, Ye Pei was pulled by Yelu Yenu when he was flying, and then pulled hard, the hem of Ye Pei's robe was also torn a lot, and he was embarrassed.

Ye Pei touched the mechanism when he rolled, and three crossbow arrows shot down from the top of the secret passage.

King Langya and Ye Pei were both startled, and the two of them rolled to the sides at the same time, moving farther away.

Seeing that this was an opportunity, Ye Pei had an idea, and threw out the small silver ball in his hand, which happened to hit the small cross logo above King Langya, and a steel net pocket suddenly appeared from the ground and closed it upward. If it weren't for the fact that King Langya was familiar with the mechanisms in the secret passage, he would have almost been caught and hung in the air.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Ye Pei threw another small silver ball and hit another mechanism. Five steps behind Ye Pei, a crack opened in the ground three steps in front of King Langya, forcing King Langya to leap backwards.

Seeing that he had succeeded twice, Ye Pei didn't dare to hesitate and rushed in the direction of Zhaoming Palace.
