Chapter 470: Exploring the Palace at Night
After Feiyun finished speaking, Xiao Da waved his hand and said, "Lin Shaoxia, it doesn't have to be like this. You don't know each other well, why don't I arrange someone to accompany you? In order to avoid unnecessary troubles due to language barriers. Feiyun hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness, if I really get into trouble, I will report your name." Do you see if? ”
While he was talking, Xiao Fu came in and said, "Miss Luohua said that she didn't want to see Lin Shaoxia and asked him to leave as soon as possible." Xiao Da spread his hands and said, "Lin Shaoxia, I have no choice about this!" Seeing this, the three of Feiyun got up and said goodbye. Xiao Da didn't keep it, and asked Xiao Fu to send Feiyun and the three out of the palace.
When they arrived at the door, Xiao Fu wanted to send someone to send Feiyun and them back to the Flower Restaurant. Feiyun declined, saying that he wanted to see the palace of the royal family in Shangdu, see what the difference was between the palace of the Great Zhou, and asked Xiao Fu how to go to the palace. Xiao Fu told the truth, and said that there were Prince Xingkong and Princess Xingyun living in the palace, and outsiders were not allowed to approach, so they could only watch from afar. Feiyun thanked Xiao Fu, and walked towards the palace with good days and beautiful scenery.
On the way, Liu Feiyun asked Liangchen: "Second sister, why are you so well-behaved today, and you didn't say a word?" Liangchen smiled: "I'm not familiar with this prince, so it's naturally inconvenient to talk nonsense." Besides, it's inconvenient for me to interject about what he said, isn't my eldest brother able to deal with it easily? It's just that we have to get things done as soon as possible and leave early. I see that he still has no heart to give up, and still wants to persuade you to submit to them. ”
Feiyun asked in surprise, "Second sister, how did you see it?" Liangchen said: "He can't threaten, he should be angry and angry." But he still pretended to be casual, obviously having other plans. Later, when it comes to falling flowers, he seems to be in good spirits, and it seems that he will let falling flowers come to persuade you. However, judging from his performance, Luohua should not have told him the purpose of our coming to Shangdu. Otherwise, we'll have to go home. ”
Feiyun said: "Although Luohua left angrily, she will not betray me. I'm confident of that! Liangchen thought for a while and said, "I also believe that she will not harm your heart, but I am afraid that she will be used." If this prince tells her that as long as she leaves you behind, she can fulfill your words, and Luohua may obey his arrangement. The next time the eldest brother sees the falling flowers, be sure to remind him to pay attention. Feiyun nodded, secretly thinking that this was indeed unguarded, so he agreed to the good day.
Feiyun and Liangchen walked as they spoke, and before they knew it, they had arrived near the palace. The three of them looked around and saw that there was a small hill on the side of the palace, so they immediately climbed to the top of the mountain and watched the palace from a distance. I saw that the palace occupies a very large area, surrounded by high walls, and there are many houses in it.
Liangchen said while looking at it: "If the ashes are placed inside, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." There are so many of these houses, and they are so similar, that it's hard to tell them apart. For this, we have to spend a lot of energy to understand and familiarize ourselves. Meijing responded: "When the time comes, we will split up and look for it, and it should be very soon." Feiyun said, "This can only be the last resort." The three of them watched for a while, and then they went down the mountain and came to the vicinity of the palace to check.
When the three of them came to the front of the palace, they saw that the palace gate was guarded by four or five big men in military uniforms and with swords on their waists. Every once in a while, a patrol of soldiers passed by the palace gate. The three of them watched for a long time before turning to the sides of the palace to look.
On both sides of the palace is a wall about two zhang high, and within three zhang of the outer wall is an open space. It wasn't long before a group of soldiers passed by under the wall. At first glance, the palace is heavily guarded and does not leak.
But Feiyun took a closer look, and found that when those soldiers were patrolling, they were all careless and purely perfunctory. Maybe no one has harassed the palace for a long time, which is why they are so careless.
Feiyun, Liangchen and Meijing circled around the palace from afar, and then returned to Luohua Restaurant together. Soon after they returned to their room, they saw that Amaka had also returned. At this time, it was nearly dusk, and (4) there was something in the hearts of the people, so they hastily ate supper, and they gathered together to discuss. Tianxiang first briefly told her about going to the mansion of the king of Shangdu, saying that the palace was heavily guarded and it was difficult to enter.
Feiyun also told Tianxiang about his conversation with Xiao Da and the situation in the palace. Tianxiang couldn't help but be shocked when she heard that the lord of the falling flowers was actually a prince.
Tianxiang hurriedly said: "Since this person has the intention of wooing you, you directly refused. This restaurant is owned by his family, which is very bad for us. We can't live in this restaurant anymore and should move out immediately! ”
Liangchen disagreed, she thought that Xiao Darin was the number two person in Shangdu and was in charge of the military. Even if they move away from Luohua Restaurant, they still can't escape Xiao Da's ears and eyes. In that case, it may attract Xiao Da's special attention. It's better to plan the plan, as long as they continue to live in the Luohua Restaurant, Xiao Da will rest assured, thinking that there is time to slowly force Feiyun. Liangchen's meaning is naturally to paralyze Xiao Da with this, at least to delay for some time. After the mission was completed, the four of them immediately left Shangdu.
Liangchen's words were reasonable, and Feiyun immediately agreed. Tianxiang knew that Liangchen had always had no last resort, so she didn't object. Liangchen thinks that since he can't count on falling flowers, he can only rely on himself. The best thing to do is to naturally go to the imperial study of the palace and look for the relevant documents, which must have been written about the prisoners. As long as you find these, you will naturally know where to put the ashes.
After everyone listened, they all said that they were reasonable. Feiyun saw that the bright moon was hanging high outside, and it was a good opportunity to do it, so he proposed to act overnight. After all, there are many houses in the palace, and it is extremely difficult to find the imperial study. Even if you find the imperial study, the documents in it are naturally full of sweat and countless. A review will definitely take a lot of time.
Everyone had no objection and went back to their rooms to clean up. When it was time to arrive, all four of them changed into black night clothes and covered with black veils. Feiyun specially wrapped the folding fan with a black cloth, which looked like a short stick, to disguise his identity.
The other three were men with swords on their backs and their hair tied up. After making preparations, taking advantage of the moonlight, everyone quietly left the room, came to the fence on the side of the garden, and flew over one after another.
When everyone left the restaurant, they saw that there were no pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages would pass by, as well as soldiers on night watch. Under the leadership of Liu Shui, they walked through the streets and alleys, and soon came to the side wall of the palace. The autumn night in Shangdu has been chilling.
Under the moonlight like water, the majestic palace is silent.
Waiting for the patrol soldiers to pass by, Feiyun and the others immediately jumped forward. They crossed the wall and landed gently inside the palace. And when they looked around, they saw that there was an open space within a foot of the wall, and there was no shelter. Outside the bush are the woods and some houses.
Liangchen waved his hand, and everyone rushed into the woods. Everyone was doing good work, and naturally they were in the forest in a blink of an eye.
The people looked around, and saw that under the wall and between the houses, patrolling soldiers passed by from time to time. It's just that these soldiers are also more casual and don't look around. After the patrol soldiers passed, Liangchen gathered everyone together and said softly: "The goal of the six of us acting together is too big and it is easy to be discovered. I think it's better to split into two teams and go one after the other. ”
Tianxiang said impatiently: "Liangchen, don't talk nonsense, we all listen to you." Tell us all about your plans, and we'll do it. ”
Liangchen is smart and clever, and has already won everyone's trust. In this regard, Tianxiang also attaches great importance to and trusts Liangchen. Liangchen thanked Tianxiang, and arranged for himself and Feiyun's first team to go first, followed by Tianxiang and Meijing.
Liangchen asked the two teams to keep a distance of three or four feet from each other, not to lose contact, let alone make a sound. Liangchen also prescribed the code of asking for help, gathering, and retreating. Everyone nodded in agreement and made a secret note of it. Immediately, Feiyun and Liangchen took the lead out of the woods and crept forward, and Tianxiang and Meijing waited for them to walk three or four feet away before quietly following.
Feiyun and Liangchen will run on the ground for a while, and then jump on the roof and walk. As they walked, they searched for the Imperial Study. After all, they were not familiar with the palace, and they didn't find it after searching for a long time. Liangchen couldn't help frowning, feeling that he couldn't look for it so blindly. Suddenly, she saw a man dressed as a court maid enter a house with two red lanterns hanging at the door.
Liangchen had an idea, so he took Feiyun's hand, and under the cover of the moonlight, came to the window of the house. Liangchen listened carefully and heard the sound of a girl talking in her sleep. Liangchen slowly approached the window and reached out to gently poke the window paper. Then he put his eyes close and looked in. Although there is no light inside, you can still see it clearly in the bright moonlight.
There were six palace maids sleeping on the bed inside, and the two palace maids who had just come in walked up to the other two palace maids, gently shook them awake, and whispered, "Two sisters, it's your turn to go on night duty!" The two palace maids rubbed their eyes, got up lightly, got dressed, and walked out.
Seeing this, Liangchen hurriedly pulled the two girls who followed. Feiyun and Liangchen followed the two palace maids to a secluded place, and Liangchen made a gesture to Feiyun to capture him. Feiyun also guessed what Liangchen wanted to do at this time, and nodded in understanding.
The two of them suddenly jumped up and landed behind the two palace maids, and then each stretched out their fingers and quickly clicked on the acupoints of the two palace maids. The two palace maids immediately said nothing and collapsed to the ground. Feiyun and Liangchen stepped forward, each picked up one person, and ran to a nearby wood.
Liangchen solved the acupoint of a palace maid, the palace maid was shocked and was about to shout, Liangchen hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't shout!" Otherwise, it will take your life at once. If you understand, blink twice! ”
The palace maid was originally frightened, but when she heard Liangchen's woman's voice, she seemed to be a little calmer, but her body was still trembling. When the palace maid heard this, she hurriedly blinked her eyes vigorously.
Seeing this, Liangchen was secretly happy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "As long as you don't shout loudly and answer me a few questions obediently, I won't hurt you." Otherwise, I will kill you at any time, do you understand? ”
