Hankasa • Volume 1 • Omen of Doom Chapter 47 Prepare for a rainy day
The three of them stopped, Wang Qing and Lu Yunxiang entered the car to discuss with Zhao Ping, the lesson of the previous car, Zhao Li is the talk of everyone after tea at the moment, if this time into Beijing is seen by others, there will be rumors again, so Zhao Ping hid in the car, and did not show any face after entering the city.
Walking on the oil stone street, Lu Yunxiang felt cold and uncomfortable, the imperial capital was prosperous, and the street pedestrians were dressed quite gracefully, as if they were contaminated with the emperor's spirit.
Not as peaceful as the southern city, the city is full of strictness, Zhao Ping just arrived in the city, want to go straight to the palace, Wang Qing also should do this, the three of them went to the outside of the house, the carriage stopped in the distance next to the willows, Zhao Ping wanted to get off, but Wang Qing was cautious by nature, persuaded him to stay in the car temporarily, only for fear of being recognized, and in vain.
Lu Yunxiang was very puzzled, he heard a lot of gossip in Beijing along the way, and he had to be careful, but he never thought that it would be so serious.
Lu Wang and the two walked towards the palace, and when they arrived near the mansion, they saw the flow of people, and the deep alleys were even more lively than the bustling streets, Lu Yunxiang gradually became suspicious, but Wang Qing was calm, just because he had already seen these gossips before leaving Beijing, but after a long time, the flow of people did not decrease but increased, but it was also strange.
Lu Yunxiang saw that he was calm and calm, and he didn't care about it, he had already learned about what happened to Bianyang Mansion along the way.
Until he approached the capital, the entire mansion was surrounded by water, but the people besieging the mansion were the saint's personal royal forest sergeants.
Passers-by looked at each other, pointing and moving, sarcastic words, Lu Yunxiang didn't know why, Wang Qingxian was surprised, then angry, and then panicked, Lu Yunxiang asked why, Wang Qing shook his head and sighed, but did not answer.
Lu Yunxiang saw his formation and lineup, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Li had said that the Holy Lord had ordered that he had not returned in March, and the whole government would be put on trial.
Seeing Wang Qing's surprise on the side, he asked again: "Brother Wang, why is this?" Wang Qing shook his head and didn't dare to respond, and said after a long time: "I'm afraid that the Holy Lord has already ordered the whole government to be detained." Lu Yunxiang said tightly: "Why don't I ask passers-by?"
Wang Qing nodded and acquiesced, Lu Yunxiang walked into the crowd and asked a scholar who looked like a scholar, the man replied that Bianyang Mansion had been besieged for five days, Lu Yunxiang asked why, and the man said that the county lord had broken into the mansion alone, and was brought into the palace by the Imperial Forest Army, and has not returned yet.
In the distance, next to the willow shade, Zhao Ping in the car raised the curtain, only to feel that the atmosphere was strange, suddenly heard someone talking outside the car, immediately put down the curtain to avoid the car, the heart was anxious, for fear that his appearance would be recognized, the pedestrians outside the car talked and laughed, only to listen to one person preach: "This side of the Yang Wangfu has been besieged for five days, presumably Mrs. Liyang in the house, at this moment, must be in turmoil." The other person replied: "What Brother Shen said is that the county lord is not virtuous, and it is shameful to affect his relatives. ”
Zhao Ping listened, the green muscles rose slightly, his face was red, he wanted to get out of the car, he couldn't stop thinking in his mouth, his hands and feet were flustered, the curtain was lifted halfway, and in a blink of an eye, he put down the curtain to avoid returning to the car.
The two people outside the car passed by the curtain, squinting at the half-open curtain, but the curtain was loosened, and the people in the car did not show their appearance, secretly strange to themselves, but they did not probe too much, only raised their sleeves and walked away.
Zhao Ping secretly patted his chest, and said in his heart that fortunately he put down the curtain in time, otherwise he would have to expose his true appearance, and now the border mansion is in danger, it must be that the saint has ordered the siege of the mansion, and I don't know what the situation in the mansion is, Li'er should have returned, but now I don't know where to go.
All kinds of thoughts are entangled in my heart, and I am anxious and uncertain for a while.
Lu Yunxiang learned of Zhao Li's news, walked to the side of the wall Wang Qing, one by one in his ears, Wang Qing's face softened a little when he heard it, Silai county lord returned to the mansion in time, so that the whole mansion would not be imprisoned, now the county lord has been in the palace for a long time, and the royal forest has not been withdrawn must be the saint has not made a decision, but this time I don't know whether the ending is a blessing or a curse.
He told Lu Yunxiang about the worries in his heart, Lu Yunxiang temporarily understood his meaning, and replied that he could not stay here, and he should find an inn to be sharp, and discuss and plan carefully.
Wang Qingjue was reasonable, so he rushed to the frame with Lu Yunxiang, and took a look at the curtain, but saw that Zhao Ping was sweating all over his forehead and his face was tense, thinking that the two people who passed by the sedan in front of him had returned, so he was in a panic for a while, and when he saw Wang Qing greeting outside, he settled down a little, and said to Wang Qing: "What's the matter?"
Wang Qing told Zhao Ping everything he knew, and Zhao Ping was a little relieved when he heard it, knowing that the palace was safe in front of him, and Li'er returned to Beijing smoothly, but he was in the palace, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Wang Qing whipped and drove, Lu Yunxiang rode in front, and the three of them walked towards a secluded place in Beijing.
Beijing is busy, there is an endless stream of people everywhere, the three of them do not want to be too conspicuous at the moment, the carriage and horses are in a shop, Wang Qing entered the shop, spent some silver, and bought a hat, under which there is a black veil, which can cover people's faces.
The three of them continued to look for the stack, stopping outside a small stack, Zhao Ping got out of the car, and Lu Wang and the two were separated from each other to take care of them, which was not only ordinary, but also deliberately covered Zhao Ping's figure to avoid people's eyes and ears.
Wang Qing entered the stack first, and after discussing with the store, Zhao Ping and Lu Yunxiang walked into the stack, Wang Qing took the bolt key, and led the two upstairs, Zhao Ping held the hat, the speed was slightly fast, although the guests around the table were secretly suspicious, there was no change.
Entering the guest room, Wang Qing closed the door tightly, sat at the wooden table with Zhao Lu and the two, they all rested for a while, and discussed in a whisper, from time to time, the knock on the door came, Wang Qing got up and opened the door, Zhao Ping turned away.
Outside the door, the store companion served wine and food, and wanted to enter the house to place it, Wang Qing blocked in front of the store partner, the scene in the house was covered, took the wooden plate, and made the store partner go downstairs, saying that the tray would be sent to the back kitchen in a while, and the store partner was a little puzzled, but since it was mentioned by the guest, he handed over the tray and went downstairs to recruit customers.
Wang Qing closed the door, pulled the deadbolt, put the wine and food on the table, the three of them took out the wine and food on the plate and put it away, inevitably the store partner came to ask for the tray, Wang Qing went downstairs to return the tray to the store partner, the store partner bowed his head and took it, and continued to collect the leftover food on the table.
Wang Qing hurriedly went upstairs, entered the house, closed the door, Zhao Ping smiled lightly: "Why be so nervous?" Wang Qing replied: "Now that the county lord has returned to Beijing, he has been detained in the palace alone, and the situation is still unclear, so the prince should be careful." Zhao Ping said: "The guards outside the mansion are guarded, just because I have not returned, if I appear in front of everyone, it will not be what will happen if the saint knows about himself?" Wang Qingdao said: "The county lord has returned, although I don't know if the three-month deadline has passed, the saint has not made a clear decree, that is, there is room for it, and now that the county lord has returned, Bianyang Mansion is still surrounded by soldiers, so it can be seen that the situation is not expected." ”
Zhao Ping was silent, Lu Yunxiang thought for a long time, and replied: "The urgent need to clarify the situation at the moment, the prince might as well write a letter, tonight I stole into your mansion and handed over the letter to Mrs. Liyang, who has lived in Beijing for a long time, and knows all this." Wang Qing was overjoyed, Zhao Pingxin said: "This plan is very good, but there are many soldiers in the palace, and the lord of Lu Guan has the grace to save his life in this king, how can this king..." ”
Lu Yunxiang said this, Zhao Ping didn't say much, looked at Wang Qing, Wang Qing understood, went downstairs out of the stack to buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and letter plugs, went back to the house and put them on the table, Lu Yunxiang asked about the layout of the house.
Zhao Pingyan's layout in the mansion is complicated, especially Mrs. Liyang's boudoir, which is located in the center of the mansion, no matter which door you enter the mansion from, it takes time and effort, Lu Yunxiang does not know the road conditions, Wang Qing said that he can enter the mansion with Lu Guanzhu and guide the way, which can be worry-free.
Lu Yunxiang pondered, Zhao Ping refused, saying that Wang Qing's skills were not enough to hide from the imperial army guarding the mansion, but Lu Yunxiang said that with his own strength, he should be able to take Wang Qing into the mansion, Wang Qingxin looked at Zhao Ping, but Zhao Ping hesitated, Lu Yunxiang suddenly said: "Where is the nearest place in the mansion?" Zhao Ping replied: "Since it is the hall of hospitality in the mansion, Lu Guan asked what is this doing?" Lu Yunxiang said: "Just ask at will, maybe you can let your lady walk to the hall, so you don't have to find your way." Wang Qing was shocked: "Lord Lu Guan means to inform his wife first, but how to pass on the news?"
Zhao Ping also had this doubt, and looked at Lu Yunxiang to ask for a reply, Lu Yunxiang said: "I don't know at the moment, wait for me to find out a thing or two first, maybe I can get something else." ”
The two looked down slightly, and Lu Yunxiang said goodbye and walked out of the house.
At noon, Lu Yunxiang took the bolt key and went back to the house to rest, Wang Qing leaned against the window and looked down at the street, and Zhao Ping sat on the couch and bowed his head in contemplation.
I have been deeply concerned about the lady in the house for many days, and I want to say ten thousand words in my belly, but I can't write when I come to the pen, and I think about it for a long time before I dip it in ink.
After more than half an hour, he put the pen on the shelf, his eyes were drawn on the letter, and when the ink was dry, he rolled up the letter and put it in the letter purchased by Wang Qing.
Wang Qing saw that he had finished writing and that Zhao Ping had put away the letters, so he walked to his side and asked: "Lord Wang, Mrs. must have suffered a lot of grievances these days, can you let Lord Lu Guan take Mrs. out of the mansion, and meet you here again, let's meet and discuss, maybe the results will be better." Zhao Ping replied: "If this can be done, then it would be very good, but how can the palace be so easy to enter and exit, Lu Guan Master alone does not know what the ending will be, how can he let him take the risk of taking his wife out, you have to keep an eye on the neighborhood tonight, so that you can meet Lu Guan Lord." ”
Wang Qing received the order, went out of the house and closed the door and returned to the room to rest.
Lu Yunxiang entered the room not for a lunch break, but out of the window, flying on the high-rise building step by step, holding a jade flute, his posture was like a fantasy, and the flow of people on the street was not noticed at all.
Before half a moment passed, he had flown to the vicinity of Bianyang Mansion, stopped on the old wall, and looked carefully, there were about 200 armor soldiers outside the mansion gate, and the armor soldiers were scattered, looking at each other everywhere, there was something different, no matter where it was, the rest of the places could be known.
From time to time, they can rush to reinforcements, and at the time of each meal, the two hundred armor soldiers are divided into two batches, one group goes to receive the imperial food sent by the palace attendants, and sits in the ash shed that has been erected early to eat, and the other group continues to be on duty, still becoming a multi-cornered trend, once there is a situation, it will still not panic, and it will be prepared.
After the sergeants in the shed have eaten, they return to their posts on duty, and the other group walks to the shed to eat, until the two groups of sergeants eat safely, and dozens of palace attendants put the leftover food into the sandalwood barrel and carry the bucket back to the palace.
When Lu Yunxiang arrived, the armor outside the mansion was eating in the shed, ordered a few steps, and went to the side of the mansion to inspect, and walked around the mansion, but there was no thin defense.
In addition to the 200 armor soldiers guarding outside the palace, there were 100 patrol troops, patrolling in ten waves, and marching around the palace all day long.
Lu Yunxiang stayed in one place and carefully calculated the time, every half a minute, there would be a patrol army coming, and if you wanted to enter the mansion, you had to travel ten miles within half a moment.
If you walk around this house in the daytime, you will be fine, and if a patrol arrives, you will be safe and sound, seeing that you have not moved.
But at night, if there are still people walking outside the house, they will be captured on the spot and sent to the dungeon for five days before they can be released.
