Seeing the suspicious eyes of the two old men, Tang Xiyao explained: "There are bad people chasing us, and there is nowhere to hide in the middle of the night. ”

Seeing the second elder's expression, the ninth sister was afraid that she would not believe Tang Xiyao's words, so she hurriedly added: "There are really bad people chasing us, it is that An Qingxu's dog, he relied on his father's momentum to intend to mistreat my young lady, and the young lady and I got away with it, so they chased after us." The monks are merciful, and you can't see death without help. She thought that since this was a monastery, it must be a monk, although she wondered in her heart that they were not bald.

The two old men saw that Tang Xiyao's appearance was beautiful and extraordinary, and they believed it a little in their hearts. At the same time, I heard frequent footsteps outside and a faint fire, and knew that it was the pursuer in the mouth of the second daughter. The gray-haired old man pointed to the inner room and said, "Go in." The ninth sister didn't have time to thank her, so she pulled Tang Xiyao into hiding and closed the door.

The temple gate was kicked open, and a group of people broke in. The white-haired old man said, "Alimu, go and send them away." Tang Xiyao looked out through the crack in the door, and out of nowhere, a man in white in his thirties came out of nowhere, and said, "Yes." "Push the door and walk out.

Outside the house, when everyone saw someone coming out, they shouted, "There are two women hiding here just now, hand them over quickly." The man in white, Alimu, said coldly: "There is no one you are looking for here, so leave quickly." ”

Although everyone was outside the house, the door was open at this moment, the torches were bright, and Tang Xiyao could see the situation outside the house clearly through the crack in the door. recognized that the leader was actually the bandit 'Brother Yu' in the broken temple of Hujian Ridge. I don't know how he ended up here.

Seeing his tough attitude, Brother Yu said angrily: "Lao Tzu obviously saw that they had entered here, and there was still a fake." This is the person that the Dongping Royal Mansion wants. If you dare to fool again, be careful that Lao Tzu burns your broken temple clean. In fact, he didn't see Tang Xiyao and the others with his own eyes, but in the dark night, there was only light here, and he secretly thought that the second daughter must have hid in, so he bluffed, so that the other party did not dare to hide.

A hint of mockery flashed in Alimu's eyes, and he turned to leave. Brother Yu didn't let him leave, and reached out to grab it, but Alimu suddenly disappeared. Tang Xiyao saw it clearly, and as soon as Alimu turned around, he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Brother Yu's outstretched hand froze in the air, stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and muttered, "Fuck, what about people?" Hell yes. The man in the back said: "If you can't catch someone, you can't explain when you go back." Ask the two old men in the room. ”

As soon as Brother Yu thought that it was right, he was about to break into the house. Who knew that he stumbled under his feet, his footing was unstable, and he fell firmly and robbed a vicious dog to, only knocking him on the head and breaking the blood. Brother Yu screamed angrily, jumped up and reached out to his waist, but he grabbed a void. When I looked closely, only an empty sheath hung over my belt, and the long knife in the middle was gone. Looking at the rest of the people as well, I couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, there was a chaotic sound outside the temple, and everyone rushed out to take a look, and more than a dozen iron knives were scattered and fell to the ground, and they hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up. One said to the eldest brother: "This place seems to be unprovoked, so let's leave quickly." Brother Yu was also frightened at this time, swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "It's a bit evil, withdraw." "A dry man called for a clean run.

Alimu stood outside the house, bowed to the two old men, and said, "It's all gone." ”

The old man with the green hair nodded, and was about to beckon Tang Xiyao and the others to come out, but he heard the temple door being pushed open again, and someone came in. The two elders looked at each other, obviously not expecting this rabble to have the courage to go and return. Alimu disappeared into the night again. The second elder looked intently, only to realize that this time there was only one person who came in, and his face was covered with half an iron mask.

It was Ye Suiyun who came in, it turned out that he was hiding in an inconspicuous place outside the palace, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Tang Xiyao and the others leaving the mansion, seeing that it was dark, he was thinking about whether to break in, but he saw a large number of family members holding swords and fires, swarming out. After listening carefully to everyone's shouting, I knew that the second daughter had escaped. After being delighted, he followed behind everyone and searched all the way. A cadre of family members divided into several groups and scattered to search halfway, Ye Suiyun didn't know where Tang Xiyao and the others fled, so he had to start light work, running back and forth among several groups of people to find it. Therefore, he came to the temple one step later than the eldest brother and others.

Ye Suiyun saw that there was someone in the house, but before he could speak, he suddenly had a feeling, he didn't have time to think about it, his chest shrank back, and a gust of wind crossed his clothes. Although he could not see the enemy, he knew that it was not an illusion. said that it was too late, Ye Suiyun jumped up, made a hula, and dodged the attack of the next plate. Before he hit the ground, he slapped his palm into the air, and the dust and sand scattered.

He noticed that the other party seemed to be shocked by his palm, and wanted to back away, thinking to himself how could it be so easy for you to run. rushed out with one hand, and with great internal force, he actually sucked the opponent's arm into his palm and grabbed it tightly, not allowing him to get out. Only then did he finally see the person who attacked him.

The two old men in the room glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Outside the house, Alimu was unable to move with one hand, staring in disbelief.

Ye Suiyun was excited, and asked, "This old man, what kind of martial arts are you?" It can be hidden in the night. ”

At this time, Tang Xiyao rushed out and shouted: "Brother Ye, let go, don't hurt your friends, they saved us both." Ye Suiyun hurriedly let go, and even said that he was offended, so he talked to Tang Xiyao and the others about the reason for parting.

The gray-haired old man in the room said to the white-haired old man: "Once upon a time, did you ever think that the "dark dust dispersion" would be broken so easily. The white-haired old man was noncommittal.

Ye Suiyun and the three of them stepped forward to thank them, and learned that this was the branch temple of the Western Regions religion 'Zoroastrianism' in Chang'an. Just because of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, there are more and more Hu people from all over the world, so all kinds of chaotic Western Regions sects have also entered Chang'an, which is not unusual. The gray-haired old man's name was Imam, and he was the elder here. The white-haired old man was an old friend who came to visit him, and he only knew his surname Lu, and everyone called him Mr. Lu. The man in white, Alimu, was Mr. Lu's entourage.

Ye Suiyun wanted to ask about Alimu's strange martial arts, but Mr. Lu had already gotten up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he glanced at Ye Suiyun meaningfully. Elder Yi said, "It's dark and the wind is high, so it's not suitable for walking. Those villains in the palace may not have gone far. If the three of them don't dislike it, they will rest in our temple for one night, and then leave tomorrow at dawn. The three of them had this intention and thanked them repeatedly.

Early in the morning, Ye Suiyun sat alone in the courtyard, thinking about what Li Fu had said two days ago.

"You've been frowning like this a lot these days, but you're on your mind?" Tang Xiyao also came to the courtyard.

"Is it so obvious?" Ye Suiyun asked.

Tang Xiyao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Your temperament is not good at concealment, let alone being seen by me." Ye Suiyun did not hide it, repeated Li Fu's words, and finally said: "You know how important this matter is to me, what worries me the most at the moment is how to enter the imperial city and find that Chao Heng." ”

Tang Xiyao thought for a while and said, "This matter is indeed not easy. If there is no emperor's edict, even Yun Rao can only lead me and my ninth sister in. But men are not allowed to enter the inner chamber at will. Even if I go in, I can't move around at will, let alone go to the secretary and supervisor. ”

At this time, a cough was heard, and the two turned their heads, and Elder Yi was already standing aside for some time. Ye Suiyun was surprised, he didn't notice it at all.

Elder Yi said, "Shi Cai overheard the conversation between the two and knew that the little brother intended to enter the imperial city and find an important person. Ye Suiyun saw that he asked with a single knife straight in, without concealment, knowing that it was useless to conceal it, and nodded: "Exactly." This matter has a lot to do with the younger generation's father, who is suffering from not being able to enter the imperial city, but he is helpless. ”

Elder Yi nodded and muttered, "Maybe the old decay has a way to help you." Ye Suiyun's spirits perked up, but he heard Elder Yi continue: "It's just that this method also has to be lucky. Do you know that there are many people from all over the world in Chang'an, the Qiuci people are good at singing and dancing, the Khotanese people are good at painting, and the Gaochang people are unique in music and rhythm skills, and so on. These artists from all over the world are often called to perform in the palace, and you can dress up and mingle in the palace without knowing it. ”

Ye Suiyun and Tang Xiyao said in unison: "Good idea." ”

Elder Yi said: "Old man thinks about it, I wonder if the little brother is good at dancing? Ye Suiyun looked stunned and shook his head again and again. Elder Yi continued, "If you pretend to be a painter, it is easy to show your feet. Therefore, I think it is most appropriate to pretend to be Gao Changle. Musicians are usually dozens of people performing at the same time, and if you hide in the crowd and pretend to play, no one will be able to tell the real from the fake. Ye Suiyun said repeatedly: "This is good, this is good, just pretend to be Gao Changle." Tang Xiyao smiled and said: "This is really a veritable abuse." Ye Suiyun didn't know what it meant, thinking about rotten fish?

Tang Xiyao asked again, "When can I act?" I'm going to hurry up and get him dressed up. ”

Elder Yi said, "This is what the old man said, and some luck. You have to wait for the palace to be called, there is no specific time, only wait, if you are lucky, maybe the opportunity will come soon. There's nothing I can do about it. What the old man can do is to connect the joints, so that you can be in the middle of it, little brother. ”

Ye Suiyun also knew that this matter could not be forced, but fortunately, there was finally hope. After consulting with Elder Yi, and as he left, he asked, "Why are my seniors willing to help me so much?" ”

Elder Yi smiled, "Even if you and I are destined. As soon as there is a calling, I will inform you immediately. "The three of them said goodbye.

Return to Yonghefang and spend a few days idle. This night, Ye Suiyun was meditating in the room, when he suddenly heard a soft sound outside the door, and knew that someone had jumped off the roof. He got up and pushed the door open, and saw a woman standing in the middle of the courtyard with two swords on her back, and when the woman turned around, she saw that it was Xiao Ning'er.

Ye Suiyun was surprised, and just said: "Xiao.... Xiao Ning'er said coldly: "Follow me." Then he got up and jumped out. Ye Suiyun didn't have time to think about it, so he followed.

Xiao Ning'er didn't look back all the way, and started her light work to lead the way. Ye Suiyun followed behind without hurrying, he knew that something was wrong, it seemed that he couldn't reach the destination, this woman would definitely not say a word, even if she stepped forward to ask, it would be in vain. Fortunately, his light work at this moment is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the day, and it is not very difficult to follow all the way.

Out of Chang'an City, and turned eastward, the two of them ran one after the other for an hour, and it was thirty or forty miles away from Chang'an. After running for a while, the terrain gradually rises, and it seems to be walking on a mountain road. Seeing that the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate, Ye Suiyun couldn't help it, and was about to shout loudly, but saw a bright light looming in front of him, and there were rare buildings.

Xiao Ning'er had already stopped, and after Ye Suiyun arrived, she walked forward. Ye Suiyun only saw clearly at this time that there was a tall gate tower in front of him, on which several bright lights were hung. There is a stone path in front of you, and countless stone statues of animals stand on both sides. Although I couldn't see how much there was in the night, I felt quite imposing. The two walked a few more steps and came to a bronze nail Zhu door, which was guarded by dozens of sergeants.

When the guards saw the two of them, they were about to step forward and shout, Xiao Ning'er opened her hand and showed a wooden card, and after the leading guard saw it clearly, he didn't say anything more, and stood respectfully by the road. Xiao Ning'er walked straight in, Ye Suiyun hurriedly followed, and looked up before entering the door, there was a wooden plaque hanging with the words 'Huaqing Palace' written on it.

Although in the middle of the night, Ye Suiyun could still see that the palaces and pavilions here were stacked on top of each other, scattered, and there were countless tall buildings. As you can imagine, the scene here during the day must be quite magnificent.

Ye Suiyun asked, "What kind of place is this, why did you bring me here?" ”

Xiao Ning'er didn't reply: "You'll know in a while." ”

Ye Suiyun said: "If you don't want to say, I'm leaving." ”

Xiao Ning'er said: "Don't you want to know, why did I go to Hoshino Shrine to grab the golden book of the princess of the Murokoku Kingdom?" This statement really aroused Ye Suiyun's curiosity.

The two entered a pavilion, and Xiao Ning'er said, "You wait here, don't walk around." After saying that, he entered the inner hall. Ye Suiyun was bored, and saw the word 'Begonia' written on the door frame. It's a pity that he only recognizes the first word, and he can't help but feel a little depressed.

The footsteps sounded, Xiao Ning'er came out first, followed by eight maids, surrounded by a woman wearing a frank-necked skirt and a garnet-colored large-sleeved blouse. Ye Suiyun looked at her graceful and bright appearance, and she didn't feel a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

The woman smiled faintly and said, "This must be Ye Shaoxia, Yuhuan is polite." Ye Suiyun then remembered that the person in front of him was the famous Yang Guifei. No wonder I feel familiar, when I first entered Chang'an, I had seen her from afar in Guangyuntan. He bowed his hand and said, "Don't dare." Since knowing that Yang Yuhuan was originally the emperor's daughter-in-law, Ye Suiyun looked down on her a little in his heart. In addition, the Lady of Qin Guo and the Lady of the State of Qiu that I met before were all arrogant and domineering, not to mention Yang Zhao. Therefore, in his heart, Yang Yuhuan has long been classified as a bad person. When they met, there was naturally no respect on their faces.

Yang Yuhuan didn't think it was wrong, and after asking Ye Suiyun to sit down, he sent the eight maids out, and said, "No one is allowed to come in without my orders." Waiting for the servants to go, he said: "Inviting the young man to come today, it is extremely presumptuous, Yuhuan is very uneasy in his heart, and I hope to forgive me." How respectful her status is now, but she calls herself Yuhuan, which makes Ye Suiyun a little surprised, but she also feels that she has no ill will towards herself. I only heard Yang Yuhuan continue: "I know that the young man is a heroic man, and he doesn't like to talk about it, so Yuhuan said it directly." I know that the golden book of the princess of the deceased kingdom of Sri Buddha is now in the hands of the young man, can you give it to me? ”
