Chapter Forty-Seven: Short Soldiers with Hidden Arrows

The mechanism of the secret room is very ingenious, and there are several passages, and with the guidance of Ran Lingling, Yan has also mastered three of them.

One leads to the Seven Hearts Tower

A dry well leading to a deserted garden on West Street.

The other is also connected to another wing room in Xingyinyuan.

Time is precious, Ding Yan entered the wing room through the passage, and the secret door was set on the floor behind the screen, this wing room was quite simple, and there was no fat powder smell, which saved a lot of embarrassment.

At this moment, there was no one in the room, Yan looked around cautiously, except for the full shelves of calligraphy and paintings that he was not very interested in, only the two exquisite invitations pressed on the paperweight on the bookcase caught his attention.

He didn't have any scruples to take a look, but it was sent to Yun Yu and Sikong Han, and the two of them were invited to go to Xingyin Yuan on the last day of B, and the signature at the checkout was actually midnight.

Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, according to Ran Lingling's statement, isn't Ling Ye the pseudonym of Yu Yanguang, the monarch? Putting the invitation back in its place, he hesitated for a moment, should he discuss it with Qiu Liyue?

He had finally made up his mind, but he heard a commotion outside the door, and the sound of footsteps coming towards the chamber. Yan hurriedly retreated behind the screen and sought shelter in the shadows.

The person who came was obviously the host here, guiding the guests, pushing the door in, "Lord Fei said and laughed, Ling is stupid, Jinwu Zangjiao and other beautiful things, where can I get my turn." The young man's voice was clear and rhymed, and it sounded familiar.

"Ling Gongzi is a young talent, a rich family, isn't it too humble to say this. "Ding Yan is very sensitive to the surname of the concubine, peeking through the gap, the concubine is old and does not know her fate, she is in good spirits, and the side is indeed a little similar to the concubine's nest, it should be the concubine of the same clan.

Looking at the situation, although the two are acquainted, their friendship is not deep, and they are noisily appreciating a few calligraphy and paintings with each other, and the concubine smiled and said, "Ling Gongzi likes Mr. Wenshan's lady picture?"

Seeing the smile, Mr. Wenshan's ladies are quite emotional, although the cloth clothes are difficult to hide the special color, not like the popular palace beauties, a delicate and shy. Ling Gongzi held a jade pendant fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Ling Mou's name for cherishing flowers is outside, but in recent years, he has been a little picky." ”

The concubine smiled deeply, "Indeed, the beauties of Xitaizhou have a unique style, they are charming and charming, and they are interesting, I have tried Fang Zhi......"

Ling Gongzi chuckled, "The realm of the concubine's flower appreciation is higher than Ling's, although the Xitai beauties are charming and intoxicated, but Ling doesn't like beauties to be poisoned, and the three-point fierceness under the skin is more in line with my mind." After saying that, he looked at the concubine, but he didn't expect the other party to stagger his gaze, linger on the easel for a while, and then said, "Mr. Wenshan's embroidery and penmanship are really exquisite, Ling Gongzi here in addition to the lady picture, but there is also a mountain ghost picture to look at?"

"Mountain ghost map?" Ling Gongzi was surprised.

"Ling Gongzi didn't know that Mr. Wenshan was good at women's pictures, and even better at mountain ghosts?

Ling Gongzi raised his eyebrows, obviously arousing interest, "Please also ask Lord Concubine to teach me, where can I get this mountain ghost map?"

Lord Concubine smiled and said mysteriously, "There is a mystery in that Linglong Pagoda, Ling Gongzi might as well wait a few days and take a look!"

Ling Gongzi thought thoughtfully, "Linglong Pagoda is about to be rebuilt? so soon!"

"Hehe, with the help of the nobles and lords of Kyoto, what is it to rebuild a tower!"

Ling Gongzi snorted and laughed, "That's ...... too."

"Tsk...... The owner of the garden feasted guests, I heard that the prince is still worried about choosing a place, this banquet is not divided into state clans, and it is not suitable to be set up in a strict place.

Ling Gongzi said with a smile, "Lord Concubine is really clever and thoughtful, but I have a question, how much is the guest appearance of this Linglong Pagoda? Twenty or thirty? A good banquet, if it seems small, it is better not to do it." ”

"Ling Gongzi rest assured, eighty is polite, one hundred is definitely not a problem. ”

Ling Gongzi was suspicious, the Linglong Pagoda was built in Xingyin Garden, he was not blind, and he couldn't see the size?

But Lord Concubine was very sure, "If Young Master Ling doesn't believe it, you can go in with me first to investigate." ”

Ling Gongzi stared at it and pondered for a moment, "That's not necessary, Lord Concubine seems to know this exquisite pagoda like a palm, could it be that it has something to do with this group of craftsmen recruited by Qinghui Garden?"

The concubine laughed a few times, "Master Ling must have forgotten that these craftsmen are all recommended by the National Teacher's Mansion, alas, because I also want to repair the garden, so I pay more attention." ”

The words were pushed to the National Teacher's Mansion, and Ling Gongzi was inconvenient to say anything, and Lord Concubine pouted to go to visit a general Yunlu, and the two of them were interested, so they went together.

At present, this Kyoto is very lively, and the guests are being feasted in this exquisite seven-heart tower, is Qi Xu in the list? Ding Yan had no bottom in his heart, so he quietly sneaked back to the Dafu military prison, because Qi Xu went out, so he waited for half an hour.

When Qi Xu came back, his eyebrows were slightly locked, and his lips were stretched into a straight line, and what he wanted to do was not smooth.

When he saw Ding Yan at first glance, he smiled and said, "How did Xiao Yan come back?"

Ding Yan told Qi Xu in detail what he had seen.

"Young General, you have to tell me the truth, did Yun Wei go to see the king and say bad things about you?

"A little anxious, the king summoned General Yun, can I stop it, don't worry, I have the first arrangement for this section, and Lord Sikong will play the original to Your Majesty. ”

Yan touched his chin, his eyes flashing, "Then why are you just entangled in your eyebrows?

Qi Xu shook his head, "I did go to visit Lord Sikong, but I encountered an ambush on the way, and I wanted to come to Lord Sikong and there was a killing situation around him, so I couldn't act rashly, so as not to implicate my lord." ”

This is not retreat, nor is it advance, Yan was aggrieved in his heart, walking around the room, "That...... Can you only wait for the Sacred Heart to make a decision, resign yourself to fate?Ziqian, Xingyin Garden has a banquet for strange warriors, what do you think?"

Qi Xu also frowned, "This Dafu military supervisor has also been moving frequently recently, and he has changed the system and transferred the generals, it seems that those courtiers in the court are going to get involved in the military power." ”

"Then you didn't receive the invitation?"

Qi Xu's eyes were gloomy, "I got it, there is an evil forbidden technique in the Linglong Seven Heart Tower, but I am afraid that it is aimed at Dongyu's loyal ministers and good futures." ”

Ding Yan's eyes lit up, "Then I'd better go back quickly, it's only right to break the evil arts, is there still three days?"

"Four days!"

Yan Zheng said a few words of relief, but there was a noise outside.

The deputy general Huan Min clasped the door outside, "Major General, General Ziche has also arrived, what if you don't deal with it in the front hall, don't you want to go and see?"

Qi Xu snorted, "Even he is here, go, take a look." ”

At that time, there were many generals in the hall of the military superintendent, and when they saw Qi Xu coming, they lined up to greet him.

In the Minghuang hall, there were also officials of the military supervisor, the majestic and majestic Ziche General was furious, holding a pair of iron fists, as if he could smash the two knife and pen officials who were fighting with him at any time. However, because there were too many generals who had been recalled to Beijing and their quarters were not allocated, the two attendants of General Ziche were not allowed to stay, and according to the practice of previous years, if the Dafu Military Supervision Office was not enough to allocate residences, the chief generals and partial generals could be properly accommodated in other places in Kyoto, but this time, not only the number of attachés was limited, but it was also ordered that only the two attendants of the Dafu Military Prison should be allowed to stay in the defense house directly under the jurisdiction of the Dafu Military Supervisor, and the rest of the people had to withdraw from the capital.

The generals of Dongzhou were dissatisfied with this decree, not to mention that the commanders and generals of each army had important tasks to co-ordinate, communicate with the intelligence of the subordinates, and there were few assistants around them.

This general Che came late, and he didn't even let the attendant officer bring it. He has an upright temperament, and in a fit of rage, he refused to stay in the Dafu Military Prison, and wanted to go out of the city with the attendants, and the officials of the Military Supervision Department wanted to stop him, but where could he stop the generals from the military.
