Chapter Eighty-Three: Everything is Ready
Xu Qing said firmly: "The husband has something to do and something not to do, if there is anything to say, just do it." ”
Zhao Li saw that Xu Qing believed in himself like this, so he stood up and said to him, "Brother Xu, do you really believe in Li'er?"
Xu Qing said: "I believe in you, and we will go through thick and thin together." As for the number of lives, it only depends on the chances of creation. ”
Seeing Xu Qing's order, Peng Huai and Chen Yuan didn't say much, they all expected to have today in the past few decades. If you remove the clouds and mist, you will see the blue sky no matter what.
The four of them looked at each other, and they all understood their own intentions and went to the cave. Zhao Li walked in front, Xu Qing followed behind, and Peng Huai and Chen Yuan were the only ones. The Nightmare all followed, and when they reached the outside of the cave, they saw wild grasses and forests, and wild bushes were complex.
Xu Qing looked around and asked where Zhao Lilu was. Zhao Liti stretched out his finger to the left, and everyone already understood and walked there. Fei was half an hour old, and he had already reached the wall of the dark moss palace. When I looked up, I saw that the walls of this palace were high and thick, and it was difficult for ordinary people to look at them.
However, it would not be difficult for them, including the Nightmares, to get past the wall.
It's just that when Xu Qing saw this palace wall, he suddenly felt depressed, and he didn't know how suffocating and uncomfortable it would be. Zhao Li discussed with the three of them, intending to take Xu Qing alone, let the other two stay here first, and after setting a meeting time with Xiao Zong, they would go with the two of them and all the dark nightmares.
However, Chen Yuan said that he couldn't, he insisted on going with the same way, saying that he was afraid that Xiao Zong would play some tricks.
Peng Huai also agreed with Chen Yuan's opinion, and asked to go together, so he asked Zhao Li where to meet.
Zhao Li replied that he was set to be in the imperial palace, and Chen Yuan was a little unhappy, so he said that he could find a place for five people outside the palace and talk quietly. Zhao Li hurriedly said: "You should be your home in the palace, you can go wherever you want." Naturally, it is safer in the imperial palace, and there is an arrangement by His Royal Highness, so don't be afraid. ”
Chen Yuan had no choice but to obey. Peng Huai said: "In this case, I, Chen Xiaojun and all the dark nightmares must be closely protected, so that we can rest assured." ”
Zhao Li couldn't resist it, so he had to agree. The entrance to the cave was narrow, and the Nightmare was not yet fully in place, and the four of them waited for a moment. When the Dark Leader comes to show it, he will make the Nightmare go up the wall first.
It must be remembered that it must not be observed by the Imperial Forest Army and the palace maids of the guards.
Also be careful not to go too far from the Western Wall, only hover around it, and pay extra attention to the masters in the shadows.
As soon as they are discovered, they should withdraw immediately, and do not linger for a moment, lest they be detected. The Nightmare received the order, went up to the wall in batches, and hibernated in various places.
It is inconvenient to hide in the palace, only the garden can be hidden, and then there is the garden and pond, so it is enough to temporarily send 50 people, and the remaining hundreds stay in place.
Chen Yuan ordered the Nightmare to carefully probe Xiao Zong's movements first, and go with them to see if he had contacted others. Or report to the saint and go to the middle palace.
However, the dark nightmare did not know where the emperor was, so Zhao Li went with him to guide them in the direction. After the nightmare locked the direction, Zhao Li immediately returned, but on this palace road, he did not dare to stay for a small meeting.
Back outside the wall, Peng Huai and Xu Qing leaned against the wall, and they didn't dare to say too much, just afraid that the wall had ears. Darkness stayed where he was, and he didn't dare to gossip, Zhao Li landed on the grass and leaned against the wall. Xu Qing said: "How are they probing?"
Zhao Li said: "I'm just guiding the way for them, and they just passed the meeting, how can it be so fast?"
Peng Huai said: "If Xiao Zong doesn't have any abnormal behavior, it's okay." If he meets with someone suspicious, something will not be good. ”
Zhao Li said: "The dark nightmare can only be explored around the emperor's office, and if it is too far away, it cannot be investigated." ”
Xu Qing nodded and said, "It's better to be careful." ”
Peng Huai said: "County Lord, when will you meet with that Xiao Zong?"
Zhao Li said: "I didn't say this, just let me take Brother Xu to the imperial palace as soon as possible." ”
Peng Huai said: "The old minister can't figure out the intentions of His Royal Highness Zong, and he is deeply disturbed. ”
Xu Qing said: "Don't be worried, if you want the prince to do things for us, at least you have to meet him." ”
Peng Huai said: "But this day is over, and we don't have much time left." ”
Zhao Li said: "There is no need to meet Your Majesty today, it is not so easy to meet Your Majesty." I think I will only meet His Highness Zong once tonight, and I can make a decision tomorrow. ”
Xu Qing said: "What Li'er said is that since you have arrived in the palace, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Once you have figured everything out, it's okay to make a decision. ”
Peng Huai said: "Your Highness is right, but the old minister is abrupt. Let's see how Chen Yuan explores before deciding. ”
The three of them talked in a whisper, and from time to time they saw Chen Yuan falling from the sky. Peng Huai immediately asked, "How's the investigation?"
Chen Yuan said: "My brothers and I stayed around the imperial palace and carefully watched the deployment outside the palace. It's just a few guards at the door, plus a little royal forest on the wall. ”
Zhao Li said: "I didn't expect this, when I was invited into Ziyun Yuan a few months ago, I saw that the inside and outside of this imperial palace were very deserted. The Holy Lord specially sent the Imperial Forest to guard Ziyun Yuan, but there were very few outside the Imperial Palace.
Originally, there was, but it was only because of negligence and slackness, and because His Royal Highness was not very favored, that the Imperial Forest Army was so light and heavy, and it was so derelict in its duties.
It was noon, and I thought the sergeant was going back to rest. didn't expect to bump into them and be rescued by His Royal Highness Zong. ”
Chen Yuan said: "The county lord is right, there are not many people in this Royal Forest Army, and they are all talking in a whisper, so there is no need to worry." Xiao Zong lives in a dormitory, only caring about writing and making poems. There was no big move, and I didn't change my clothes to meet unknown people. ”
Zhao Li said: "What kind of unknown person? What are you to be the prince of Zong? Are you a treacherous person who secretly communicates with outsiders? It is really ridiculous to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"
Chen Yuan said: "Why should the county lord be aggressive? What kind of character this prince is, only the county lord knows. We have to check them all out.
Besides, the friendship between the county lord and the prince of Zong is only in childhood. In the rush of time, what is the character of a person, who can judge?"
Peng Huai said: "Don't say this again, you only say that the prince can believe it?"
Chen Yuan said: "It's hard to say, it's just a preliminary investigation, and the brothers are staying there without slacking off." Wait for them to bring the news before they can make a conclusion. ”
Zhao Li said coldly: "Be careful that your dark nightmare is not discovered by the people in the palace, and you can't blame the head of the county lord when the time comes." ”
Peng Huai said with a smile: "The county lord can rest assured, the dark nightmare left by the Hou Ye is the best at concealing his own investigation." No news can escape their eyes, nor will it be noticed by ordinary people. ”
Xu Qing said: "But it's not necessarily, on the Void Mountain, the whereabouts of Xiao Song and the others were lost by the Dark Nightmare, and the life and death of the master are unknown." The person who stands in front of him alive is not seen if he says he can't see it. I see that the dark nightmare left by Jian Yanghou is not everything. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qing felt a little uncomfortable. Jian Yanghou is his mentor, teaching the Twilight Heart Sutra to save himself and Li'er from Xiao Song's poisonous hands.
I relied on this twilight spirit mystic skill to save a lot of people in the iron bridge, although they were all born because of themselves, but it was also a miracle to help. so that he didn't make a big mistake, but he still damaged a lot of dark nightmares. Thinking of this, Xu Qing's heart ached slightly. I was already guilty of too much, and I was still ashamed to speak out here.
Peng Huai said: "The Dark Nightmare is not a panacea, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers, plus a knight with acceptable force. A person like Xiao Song, who is cunning and has profound internal skills, is a little difficult. ”
Xu Qing said: "Don't blame everyone, I just have to say it casually." I've understood the Nightmare's ability, so naturally I don't need to worry about it. ”
The four of them waited for a while, and when they saw the nightmare come back to report, saying that Xiao Zong was not acting out of the ordinary, the four of them were relieved.
Zhao Li took Xu Qing with him, and Peng Huai and Chen Yuan also followed. The skills of the two are not low, and they are safe in the hiding place. On the way, he didn't dare to show his face, but with the help of forest stone wall tiles, he avoided the palace attendants.
Zhao Li and Xu Qing are the same, and they are in a hurry. When he got closer, he saw that the wall was high, so he flew into the air, climbed over the wall, and landed in the house.
But it is the flower garden behind it, all kinds of flowers are delicious, the grass is fragrant, and the fragrance is fragrant. Xiao Zong likes to fiddle with these things on weekdays, and he has no quarrel with the world, which is quite interesting.
When Xu Qing saw this scene, he said: "This prince is really interested in putting these things up. When I was younger, I had some ideas, but my father stopped me. ”
Zhao Li said: "His Royal Highness Zong is quite similar to Brother Xu, and he loves to read poetry and books. When I was playing in this palace, I was exposed to it, and I often saw him dancing and writing ink, and writing poems. He is outstanding in writing, but he is not appreciated by His Majesty, and he does not like to get involved in political affairs. I don't know anything about the deception above the court. ”
Xu Qing looked around, and when she saw that there was no trace, she replied to her: "In this way, I really want to see him." ”
Zhao Li said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, His Royal Highness Zong is not the person in Chen Yuan's eyes, you and him will definitely hit it off at first sight." ”
Xu Qing nodded, and the two continued to walk deeper. Zhao Li, the head of the imperial office, was familiar with it, and only went to the old house in the daytime, and could not be noticed by the guards in the courtyard.
The two of them were cautious, and when they met the waiter several times, they all hid and avoided the past. With light strength, you can be worry-free, but it is better to be cautious.
After a few moments, the two walked to the old house, opened the door and entered the house, and saw that there was no one in the house. The two of them closed the door and sat down on the bench. Xu Qing said: "Your Highness Zong doesn't know that you and I have arrived, have you ever told him?"
Zhao Li said: "No, let me go and inform him." ”
Standing up and about to walk away, Xu Qing hurriedly held her jade hand, and Zhao Li looked back in amazement. Xu Qing said: "Li'er, be careful. ”
Zhao Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait for me to come back." ”
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, and closed the door again. Xu Qing sat alone in the house, hesitating.
Let's say that Zhao Li left the house and went forward. Xiao Zong lives in the east of the institute, and he has learned about it when Zhao Li was a guest at the imperial office last time. I don't know if he changed places, and Shicai also forgot to ask Chen Yuan, so he didn't have to think about it at this time, so he went to see it first.
The eaves walked on the wall, crossed several eaves, and reached the windowsill of Xiao Zong's bedroom. Peeking through the curtain, I saw Xiao Zong sitting at the coffee table, holding poetry books, concentrating.
Zhao Li smiled slightly, grabbed the stone and smashed it inside, and the stone passed through the crack in the curtain and touched the tea table, causing a "ding" sound.
Xiao Zong was startled when he boarded, and let go of the book to look at it in shock. I looked at the windowsill again, and saw a shadow hanging outside the cloth, and I was very surprised. But he heard a whisper outside: "Your Highness Zong, don't be afraid." It's me, Li'er. ”
Xiao Zong recognized Zhao Li's voice, so he slowly stood up, walked to the window, and lifted the curtain. Seeing Zhao Li squatting on the windowsill, he stabilized slightly, and said, "Why are you so late?"
Zhao Li said: "I'm late, you haven't read there with peace of mind, don't do anything." ”
Xiao Zong said softly: "I didn't do anything, what did you ask me to do? I had to sit alone in an empty room, with a book on my head, pretending to be nothing. I didn't see anyone else, and I was anxious dryly. Zhao Li said: "Okay, don't talk about this, I don't blame you." I have brought Brother Xu here, in the room just now, you can go with me. ”
Xiao Zongqu said: "Eh, Brother Xu, Brother Xu's, it's really dear! I suddenly changed my mind again, and I don't want to help you." ”
