"What's wrong with him?" Qin Ke looked at Gao Yishui suspiciously.

Gao Yishui plucked the strings, rolled his eyes, and said, "Tang Guo Lantern Festival, a cucumber egg ran out to play, and then came back with a smirk, what do you say?"

Qin Ke couldn't think of it, so he could only tilt his head and ask again: "How do I know what to do, you know those curves and curves, you know it yourself, I don't bother to think about it." ”

Gao Yishui was a little annoyed that he was disturbed by playing by himself, pressed the strings heavily, and said impatiently: "In addition to meeting the girl you like, what else can it be?"

"But......" Gao Yishui looked at Qin Ke with a playful look in his eyes, "I'm very surprised that you were so calm when you came back...... Or have you been alone in the mountains for a long time, and now you don't like women and like men?"

"Go!" Qin Ke glared, although he knew early on that the dog's mouth would never spit out ivory, but Gao Yishui's dog mouth could be called a mouth full of feces.

"Prepare yourself, we'll have to move tonight. "High easy waterways.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ke was slightly stunned, "What's wrong, so anxious?

"You can rest in a different place. Gao Yishui played the guqin lightly, making a "bang" sound, he frowned, reached out to adjust the strings, until it was corrected, and then continued with satisfaction: "The person who is following you, do you have eyebrows?"

Qin Ke nodded: "It's probably related to the mountain bandits we met on the road, but I don't know why they also appeared in Tang Kingdom." ”

"For revenge?" Gao Yishui speculated, but shook his head again, "But in my opinion, the brotherhood between the mountain bandits is difficult for them to trek through the mountains and rivers to the Tang Kingdom to kill you, if it is for the leader of the mountain bandits you killed, they should have arranged for men and horses to make another raid on the caravan as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. Qin Ke thought that Wu Ting had been following him for so long but he could not show any movement, if he hadn't happened to look downstairs and found him, he was afraid that he would continue to hide in the crowd and remain silent, this is really not like the fierce style of mountain bandits.

"Mountain bandits...... Great Wall Arrow Formation...... Tang Guo ...... "Gao Yishui tapped lightly on the table, trying to connect these things together, but in the end, he couldn't find the thread from the intricate clues, but it was certain that this place should not stay for long.

"Regardless, your whereabouts have been revealed, and we don't know exactly when they followed them or what their purpose was, but this inn is no longer safe. The old shopkeeper has arranged the back hand according to the emergency, and the inn has been transferred to a reliable person, and he will leave the inn tonight, and even, leave Ding'an. ”

Qin Ke looked at the lights outside the window, listened to the sound of the crowd gradually faded, and said uneasily: "Is it so serious?"

"It's not necessarily that serious. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the old shopkeeper walked in slowly, Qin Ke and Abu hurriedly gave up their hands, even if they didn't look at the old shopkeeper who had been lurking for Jing Wu for many years, the most basic respect for the old man still wanted.

The old shopkeeper nodded, and said softly: "This is the capital of Tang Guoguo, as long as there is even a little negligence, the follow-up may be difficult to clean up." Even now, the Tang Kingdom seems to be relatively calm, but the people who are tracking us down have never stopped, the palace is on fire, the treasury is stolen, and the Holy King artifact is lost, and they have been looking for us like dogs with a keen sense of smell......"

He sighed: "The children's blood has been shed too much, if it weren't for my old bones still need to support the overall situation, I really wish I could die for them." But now, we can't afford to take that risk. ”

Gao Yishui shook his head and said: "You have done well enough, in my opinion, you can lurk in the Tang Kingdom for so long, without the ability to leak a drop of water, you will definitely not be able to do it." Mrs. Yang is really not a mediocre person, and it can even be said that there are not many people in this world who can compare to her, and you are one of them. ”

"It's over. The old shopkeeper bowed his head, "I came, there is something to say, there is news from the palace, and the whereabouts of the Five Elements Sinan Compass have eyebrows." ”

"Really?" Qin Ke's eyes lit up, "Where is it?"

"I don't know yet. The old shopkeeper calmly poured a basin of cold water on him, "There are only some signs." The Tang King's palace has a collection of the pointer of the Five Elements Sinan, that is, the 'spoon', but the compass is not in Ding'an City. Our men can only trace it here, he is one of the few nails left in our palace, and it is precisely because they have not been in the palace long ago that they have a clean foundation, and they have escaped this purge. But also because they have not been in the palace for a long time, they have limited access to things, and it is already difficult to obtain this information, and the rest of the things are ...... I have to think of another way. ”

"How about another way?" Gao Yishui asked.

The old shopkeeper looked at Gao Yishui and took a deep breath: "Palace." ”

"The palace?"

"A case vault in the palace, my people have wanted to enter it for a long time, but they have never had a chance to get in. This case library has always been in the hands of the blood relatives of the Tang Kingdom, and others are not qualified to enter it at all. The old shopkeeper said heavily: "However, during the annual cleaning season, my people once sneaked in to investigate, and found several important letters, which are said to be related to the whereabouts of the compass. But soon, he was discovered, and he only had time to deliver such a one-sided message...... And he was broken by the court staff and died in the palace. ”

"If you can enter this library, you may have access to the information of the compass. The old shopkeeper closed his eyes and felt as if there was a thousand pounds on his eyelids.

"Understood. Gao Yishui nodded, "The Li family's private treasury, I'm afraid that even Yang Taizhen may not be able to enter, and if he can enter and exit at will, I'm afraid that only the clansmen of Li Qiuhuang's family, even if your people are well disguised, no, the royal clansmen, how can they be disguised......"

"Then how did we get those letters?" Qin Ke asked.

"Yes, of course...... People go and get it. Gao Yishui whispered nonsense, squinted his eyes and laughed, "Obviously, with the old shopkeeper and the remaining strength, it is impossible to make another earth-shattering move like stealing the Five Elements Sinan." ”

The old shopkeeper nodded tiredly and said, "That time, my people lost too much, and now I have to sneak into the case vault...... Impossible, impossible......"

"Yes. Gao Yishui naturally understands that the Tang King's Palace seems to be extraordinary, but in fact it is the tiger's den in Longtan.

A month ago, the Tang King's Palace suddenly caught fire, and then the old shopkeeper took advantage of the chaos to steal the Five Elements Sinan in the treasure house, and then after changing hands layer by layer, he finally sent the pointer of the Five Elements Sinan out.

How easy is it to repeat the old story now?

Several people were silent, Abu looked at the solemnity on the faces of several people, and finally said up: "Then we have no way at all?"

"There's a way. The old shopkeeper said.

Qin Ke suddenly raised his head, looked at the old shopkeeper and asked, "What's the way?"

"Three days later, it is the birthday of the noble concubine Yang Taizhen, and at this time of year, Li Qiuhuang will set up a big banquet in the palace, and the precautions inside and outside the palace will also be negligent. If...... I pressed all the people under my command and maybe I could get a chance. ”

"Everyone?" Gao Yishui looked at him, "How many of our people are still in the palace?"

"Not much, more than a dozen people. The old shopkeeper said: "If you try, you may not have a chance to succeed." But now there are two problems. For one, even if my people succeeded, it would be difficult to get the message out. There are two different worlds inside and outside the palace, and the last person we could deliver the news has been beheaded for public display, and now we have no connection with the palace intelligence. Second, and the same problem I just mentioned, we can't get in touch with the inside of the palace, and naturally we can't get my sons and daughters back up from the silence. ”

The crowd was silent again.

Even a layman like Qin Ke knows how difficult it is to enter the Tang Palace, re-dredge the channels, and regather those "rats" hidden in the shadows to his side, and a human spirit like Gao Yishui can capture the dangerous aura hidden in this matter in details.

Once it fails...... What are the consequences?

Is it to be touched by the vine, and the palace will usher in another purge?

Still is...... The entire Ding'an City has to be turned upside down, and even the old shopkeeper himself can't be spared?

Either way, it's not a good outcome.
