Chapter Forty-Three: Exploring the Orchid Pavilion at Night (Part I)

In the northeast corner of the palace there are several huts for the brigade commander on duty, and the camp of the brigade is outside the palace.

The commander was on duty in the palace at this time, and the attendant took Duan Yu to the hut of the brigade in the palace and explained to the commander the appointment of Gou Jian.

The commander of the brigade was a sturdy man in his forties, named Zhao Xiong. Gou Jian's appointment naturally did not dare to slack off, so he arranged for someone to lead Duan Yu to live in the camp outside the palace, and told Duan Yu to be on duty from night.

Originally, the brigade was a deputy commander and two commanders, who took turns to be on duty during the day and at night, but at this time, there was one more deputy commander, so two deputy commanders were arranged to be on duty together.

After Duan Yu settled in the camp, he left the camp and walked around the city. Duan Yu walked back and forth twice near the North City Gate, and determined that an inn called Youlaiju was the closest inn to the North City Gate, and then went back to the camp after going to the three city gates in the east, west, and south.

In the evening, Duan Yu changed into the brocade clothes of the brigade army, put on the standard long sword, and came to the palace brigade brigade hut.

The brigade army was on duty for the handover, and the commander Zhao Xiong introduced Duan Yu and Gou Jian's appointment to the deputy commander and more than 100 swordsmen of the brigade army.

The deputy commander is a middle-aged man named Sun Zhiyong, who is very hostile to Duan Yu, as if he regards Duan Yu as a competitor, and directly puts Duan Yu in the air when he is on duty, without assigning him any tasks.

Duan Yu was happy to be idle, so that he became a free man, and it was convenient for him to explore the palace.

Duan Yu pretended to walk around the palace by himself, but in fact, he kept in mind all the harems that he couldn't go to, and stopped to watch for a while at the Moon Gate of Lanting Garden, but he didn't see Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.

After the sky darkened, Duan Yu quietly came to Lanting Garden again, and this time directly entered the Moon Gate.

Although he knew that voyeurism was not good, Duan Yu told himself that he was just probing the enemy.

And the enemy's most powerful weapon is the beauty trick, and it is necessary to explore the beauty yourself.

When I came to the attic, I saw that several rooms in the attic had been lit up, but the room where Xi Shi and Zheng Dan lived last night was dark.

Duan Yu couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Could it be that these two people have changed rooms?" ”

Duan Yu just wanted to eavesdrop from room to room, when he suddenly heard a faint voice from the garden.

Duan Yu quietly walked into the garden and gradually heard that it was Xi Shi and Zheng Dan who were talking.

"Yiguang, I heard that the envoy sent by the king of Wu has arrived at the palace, and it seems that he has also presented a sword to the king."

"It seems that the king of Wu is very good, and he specially sent an envoy to send a sword to our king. It would be great if our king was willing to give up revenge, we don't fight anyone in Yue and Wu, and we can live our lives well. ”

"It's not like you haven't seen our king, how can someone like him give up revenge? If everyone were like you, there would be no strife in the world. ”

The two of them were speechless for a while, and they were deliberately avoiding a topic.

Duan Yu hid behind a bush, and he could already see the figures of the two people in the pavilion.

After half a ring, Xi Shi said with some loneliness: "Dandan, I regret it a little, I don't want to go to Wu State, I shouldn't have promised the young uncle in the first place." Even if I didn't have him to take care of my mother, I could take care of her for the rest of my life, and it would be better for Wu Guo, who was born in both human and earth. ”

Zheng Dan, who has always been cheerful, also became a little depressed, lowered his head and said: "Yes, I regret it too, I was just playful at that time, and I thought I could still be with you, so I agreed to Dr. Fan." I still think it's better to be in Ramie Village, and at that time I was carefree and played by the stream all day, how good! ”

The two were silent again.

Suddenly, Zheng Dan jumped up and said excitedly: "Yiguang, let's go and ask Doctor Fan, let's beg him to let us go back to Ramie Village, he likes you so much, he will definitely agree to you!" ”

Xi Shi just shook his head silently.

The excitement on Zheng Dan's face gradually disappeared, and he turned back to a depressed appearance, and said, "I really don't know how a man can be so ruthless, and a person as good as Dr. Fan can also be ruthless to send you to Wu State." This time, the envoy of the State of Wu came to the Kingdom of Yue, and the king will definitely let us go to the Kingdom of Wu with the envoy. ”

Zheng Dan finally said the topic that the two of them had avoided for a long time, Xi Shi's body shrunk, and said with some sadness: "Then what can be done?" Alas...... I don't know if I can go back to Ramie Village in this life......"

"If you want to go, I can take you away now!"

The sudden sound of the man's voice made Xi Shi and Zheng Dan jump up in fright, this Lan Tingyuan was specially built for the eight beauties who were going to be dedicated to their husbands, except for Gou Jian, Fan Li, and Wen Chong, no man had ever been able to come in, and suddenly there was a man's voice, which made the two of them not startled.

With a little glimmer, the two saw that it was a man wearing a brocade robe with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a tall figure slowly came to the outside of the pavilion.

They had seen the brigade soldiers guarding the palace, and they naturally saw that Duan Yu was the clothes of the brigade soldiers. It's just that the brigade army is not allowed to enter Lanting Garden, how dare this man come in?

Zheng Dan was bolder, and said first: "You...... How did you get in here? ”

"Walked in with my legs."

“……”

Where has Zheng Dan seen this way of speaking, and he was choked up all of a sudden.

"Who doesn't know you walked in with your legs? Is that what I mean? ”

Xi Shi squatted down slightly and saluted Duan Yu and explained: "Dan Dan doesn't mean that, Lanting Garden has always forbidden men to enter, why did you enter Lanting Garden?" ”

Duan Yu was called a "strong man" for the first time, and it felt weird.

"I'm on duty on the first day, and no one told me that Lan Tingyuan can't come in."

These should have been explained to him by Sun Zhiyong, the deputy commander of the brigade army, but Sun Zhiyong regarded him as a competitor and didn't even greet Duan Yu, let alone tell him this.

Zheng Dan seemed to have recovered from the choking just now, and said, "Then you know now, you should go out." ”

Duan Yu smiled slightly: "I finally came in once, how could I get out so quickly." Next time, I can't come in under the pretext of not knowing the rules. ”

Zheng Dan was choked again, and the other brigades were all respectful when they saw them, why did this guy have no fear, and he still wanted to rely on it?

Duan Yu saw Zheng Dan's angry look, hmm...... It's fun.

The soft and weak Xi Shi was calmer and asked, "The strong man just said that you can take us out of here?" ”

Duan Yu nodded.

"Do you know who we are?"

"The beauty that King Yue wants to give to King Wu."

"As the guard of King Yue, how dare you take us away? Even if you can take us away, aren't you afraid that the king will kill you? ”

"Death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than feathers. To die to save two fairy-like beauties is heavier than ten Mount Tai! ”

“……”

Shih Tzu found that she couldn't answer either......

"Poof", Zheng Dan couldn't help laughing when he saw that Xi Shi was also embarrassed, and said to Duan Yu: "You are flamboyant, you know that you are not very old when you listen to your voice, and you can't be relied on at a glance." ”

Duan Yu snorted, and pretended to be serious: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young man to be poor!" ”

After passing through a scene, I finally have the opportunity to say this!

Although Zheng Dan couldn't see Duan Yu's expression clearly, he felt that he suddenly became serious, so it was not good to laugh at him anymore, and muttered: "It's like you can really take us out." ”

Duan Yu smiled confidently and said, "Naturally, I can really take you out!" ”

Zheng Dan didn't believe it and asked, "Then you yourself will die, you don't know us, why do you want to help us?" ”
