This was not the first time Qin Ke had gazed at the palace in the night, but even now, he still had a little rejection of this palace.

The palace under the night was as silent as a dark forest, the night owls quietly flapped their wings in the moonlight, making a sharp "laugh", the forbidden army around the palace wall walked neatly, and in the friction of the armor, they gradually passed in front of Qin Ke with their blades in hand, but they didn't even look at him.

"It's like a ghost who has been reincarnated......" Qin Ke shuddered, feeling that his thoughts were really a little disrespectful.

And he raised his head and stared at the tiny candle flame in the palace, as if for a moment it had turned into a pair of eyes in a magnificent palace, silently watching him.

"Is it Qin Ke?" The door of the inner palace slowly cracked a crack, and a sergeant wearing the armor of the forbidden army walked out inside, his eyes were as cold as ice.

Qin Ke pressed his heart, nodded and replied, "It's me." ”

"My father-in-law has said hello to me, come with me. The sergeant turned mechanically.

Qin Ke nodded, and the wheelchair slowly moved forward. But then the forbidden army's low words made him stop: "You go in alone, she ...... No way. ”

Qin Ke was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Zhang Fu, but Zhang Fu seemed very calm, for the rules of the court, she was by no means the first contact, Qin Ke was able to enter because she was summoned, and she ...... But an outsider.

"I'm waiting for you here. ”

Qin Ke nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I shouldn't trouble you to come with me, if you feel sleepy or tired, go back and rest first, I don't care." ”

Zhang Fu shook his head, his eyes were gentle: "I'm fine, you can go in." ”

The sergeant urged: "Hurry up, the palace gate is forbidden, and you can't be so gossipy." ”

Zhang Fu bowed slightly to the sergeant, and retreated from the side, Qin Ke looked at her for a while, and finally retracted his gaze, with a little apology, he slowly pushed the wheelchair and crossed the slightly open palace gate, and then the palace gate closed behind him.

"I said I let you go by yourself, so no one picked you up. My duty is to guard the palace gate, and I can't leave half a step, so you can walk this road by yourself. Closing the door, the sergeant said more, and began to explain to him slowly, "Anhe Hall is in ......"

After a while, Qin Ke was still a little dazed, but he probably understood the direction the sergeant was pointing, and he slowly walked in the empty square pushing a wheelchair.

The flatness of the road did not give Qin Ke any obstacles, after all, every floor tile in the palace will be regularly maintained by a special person, if you cut corners to fill your own pockets, with Jing Wu's law, at least it will be a fate of distributing and filling the army.

It's just that what Qin Ke cares about is not the smooth road, but the eerie and terrifying aura in the palace.

The palace was eerily silent at night, and even if the eunuchs and maids were occasionally seen walking by, they all bowed their heads and walked cautiously and fearfully.

On the high cornices, there are eaves beasts standing or lying, silent in the night they are solemn, so that Qin Ke reminds of the statue of "Nine Sons of the Dragon" in the tomb of King Ye, and Huang Hansheng also slightly mentioned the eaves beast when he gave a lecture in Taixuetang.

These eaves beasts of different shapes stand at the highest point of the cornice, looking down on all beings like emperors, seemingly indispensable, but the highest place of the cornices is the front of the eaves, if it moves forward even one step, it will really fall down from the eaves.

In the construction industry, this is privately called "cornered", and I don't know how many generations and how many years it has been passed on. It is intended to warn the emperor, but also to warn the courtiers, to warn them that they are in the position of this beast, and they need to be cautious and not frivolous and indulgent, otherwise one wrong step will be the end of broken bones.

In it, no one can really have a good time...... Qin Ke had such a thought inexplicably in his heart. Thinking about it, when he first came to Jingwu, he ran into the treacherous battle within the Jingwu court, and there were many dead in it.

The Ninth Master, the owner of the oil shop and his associates, the man in white who was miserable on the guillotine later, and the officials who were involved in the case of destroying the embankment and flooding the fields......

Even Zhuge Wanling himself was almost buried in the assassination of the court.

In other words, he really reached a desperate situation, and he fled back to Daoxiang Village in one go, and continued to live his plain life in the mountains and wilderness, but what about Zhuge Wanling? Where can he escape?

"This ...... My lord...... Where are you going?" Just as Qin Ke's mind was wandering, a slightly immature voice suddenly came from in front of him, Qin Ke came back to his senses, and a young eunuch was standing in front of him.

He looked about the same age as himself, even younger, he had dimples when he laughed, and he had a few pimples on his face because of the fire, in this dead and silent palace, he smiled so innocently that Qin Ke couldn't help but smile.

"I'm not an adult. Qin Ke explained: "It's good if you call me Qin Ke......"

"Where?" the little eunuch squinted his eyes and smiled, "The palace gate is forbidden, and at this moment it is the time of the 'night ban', if the foreign minister trespasses, I am afraid that he will be arrested by the forbidden army at the palace gate." Your Excellency, you have passed through the palace ban unimpeded and entered the deep palace, you must be a big man......"

It was probably Qin Ke and Chen Chu who caught their attention by talking, and soon approached a middle-aged eunuch from the side, his voice sharp and even a little cold: "Achu...... Are you smart here?"

The little eunuch's face changed, and he hurriedly turned sideways and lowered his head no longer: "Father-in-law Zhang." ”

The middle-aged eunuch who had just walked over looked at him coldly, and although his voice was soft, there were several sharp reprimands: "When...... What do you want to do, what do you want to do?"

Qin Ke couldn't laugh or cry, he was just a flat-headed commoner, he didn't have a lot of fame, and he didn't have a prominent family background, how could he just enter the palace and become an "adult"? Could it be that the linen clothes on his body didn't look rustic enough?

"Yes......" Chen Chu lowered his head, his shoulders shrunk, like a mouse that had seen a cat, "Small, small, go now." ”

"Go now?" the middle-aged eunuch sneered, "That's why you haven't done it yet? I knew that your old ghost master couldn't teach any serious people...... I see, I should let your master take your little cub out of the palace tonight!"

Chen Chu's eyes widened, he didn't expect that saying two more words would lead to such a result, so he knelt down directly, and said in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law Zhang...... This is all Xiao Chu's fault, Xiao Chu has a lot of mouths and tongues, which makes adults unhappy, this mistake Xiao Chu is willing to bear it, and only begs Gonggong Zhang not to blame the master...... He is old, and in a few years he will be allowed to leave the palace to retire, if he is kicked out of the palace at this time, how can he live in his old age. ”

He kowtowed heavily on the brick surface: "Zhang Gong is gracious, ask Zhang Gong to be gracious." ”

Qin Ke was in a wheelchair and wanted to help the little eunuch, but he didn't know what to say for a while. There are many books in the Taixue Hall, and he has read a lot of miscellaneous ones, so of course he knows the tradition of these eunuchs in the palace "the old man leads the newcomer".

Eunuchs have no fertility, and naturally they have no children, although there are not no eunuchs in the world who enter the palace after having children, but they are rare. Most of the people who entered the palace as eunuchs were destitute at home, and if they could have a livelihood, who would really want to castrate what they had passed on to their ancestors?

This group of crippled people hugged each other, and between the old and the young, a father-son relationship without blood was established.

They seldom call themselves "godfathers", and they find it too flattering, so the title "master" is more logical.

The old man taught the newcomers how to gain a foothold in the palace and taught them how to serve the Lord, which can also be called a teacher for one day and a father for life.

However, it is obvious that Chen Chu's master is not a high-ranking person in the palace, maybe he is just a eunuch at the bottom, who works for half his life, and still has to look at people's faces and do things when he is old.

Seeing Chen Chu's posture of kneeling and begging without saying a word, I'm afraid he has long been accustomed to this kind of undignified life.
