Chapter 420: A trip anyway
After a few more moments of eating and drinking, he stood up and went downstairs with the spirit of wine.
The white cat waited in his seat for a long time, motionless. The diners who came and went nearby saw that it was sitting like a mountain, not afraid of people at all, and they all pointed to it.
It ignored it, staring at the wine glass, which still had half a glass of wine, and it smelled very good.
The white cat licked her lips and snorted half-squinted.
After a while, Yan Saburo walked back, took a glass of wine and drank it all under the gaze of the cat, and then said, "No." ”
He slipped to the edge of the buttress below and tried the escape talisman, after all, this place was only a few dozen zhang away from the walls of the palace, and if it was used successfully, they didn't have to think of any tricks to sneak into the palace.
However, there is no case.
The palace has set a prohibition, and the art of retreat cannot be used here.
Fortunately, Yan Saburo gave it a try, and he didn't have any hope.
He patted the bookcase and motioned for the cat to come in: "Let's go." ”
The white cat looked at the wine on the table: "This wine is very fragrant, you give me a corner and keep it for the evening." ”
In the end, Yan Saburo not only bought wine, but also packed a few fried fish noodles back to the inn.
Locals cut the fish into minced meat, add powder to the drawer, steam it and cut it into strips, it becomes fish noodles. It is strong to eat in the mouth, and it takes into account the freshness of the fish, which is very distinctive. This restaurant dares to use it as a signboard because the fish noodles are also filled with tiny fish roe, and the noodles have a fine and bursting taste when you bite into them.
Back at the inn, He Xiaoyuan also came back, ate noodles with Qu Yunhe, and said with a smile after wiping his mouth: "Come with me." ”
She left the main street with the two of them and a cat, and walked further and further, and she didn't know how many turns she turned, and finally found an alley to the bottom.
The alley is deep and secluded, and there is no one around. There is also only one mahogany door, single door, detached house.
He Xiaoyuan took out the key to unlock it, and then pushed the door in: "You guys live here temporarily." ”
It's a small courtyard with two entrances, and there are all kinds of living and tithing, but there is dust everywhere, and there is a thick layer of frost under the patio, and it is obvious that no one has lived in it for a while.
"The inn is full of people, and it is not conducive to acting. The whole alley is uninhabited, and the houses are used as warehouses. Our people bought this house three months ago, and everyone around them knows that there are merchants who come in and out of this place, so they don't be too curious. ”
Yan Saburo glanced at her.
"Our people", of course, refers to the forces lurking in Shengyi. He Xiaoyuan left early in the morning, obviously looking for an organization for the code, but he would not expose his own forces under the noses of Yan Saburo and Qu Yunhe.
After all, they are not human.
The fine work is already pervasive, and no matter how strict the screening of Shengyi is, there are also secret agents from other countries who can sneak in, pretend to be normal people, and collect intelligence while living.
This is where Yan Saburo wants to borrow. After all, he and Qu Yunhe were really isolated in Shengyi.
Qu Yunhe closed the courtyard door and laid down the barrier before returning and asking, "The astrolabe in the palace can still operate normally, is this news conclusive?"
He Xiaoyuan said angrily: "We have verified it with three lives, what do you say?"
"Then the possibility of getting in the dark is almost gone. ”
"The difficulty doesn't stop there. He Xiaoyuan frowned, "Tianyao Palace is very large, and the interior is complicated, it is said that you can't recognize the way after living in it for half a month." If you rush in, nine out of ten you will get lost. ”
Qu Yunhe and Yan Saburo glanced at each other. If the general pattern of Tianyao Palace remains unchanged, it will be difficult for Qu Yunhe and Chitose.
"Where are you going?"
Qu Yunhe didn't hesitate: "Wenxin Garden." ”
"Where?" He Xiaoyuan said he hadn't heard of it, "Imperial Garden?"
"It's not an imperial garden, it's a small garden located in Qingyang Peak, next to Fanghua Palace. Qu Yunhe understood when he said this, "Oh, Fanghua Hall is the residence of the former Empress Yasukuni, and the garden is the place where she relaxes, and it is estimated that it has been renamed now." ”
When He Xiaoyuan heard "Qingyang Peak", he couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "What you are talking about is not the Ganlu Palace, the residence of Empress Wei! It is in Qingyang Peak, and there is indeed a small garden outside, the area is not large, but the grass and trees are fragrant. ”
"It was originally renamed the Ganlu Temple?" Qu Yunhe shrugged, "Probably there." ”
He Xiaoyuan's expression was indescribable: "The place you chose is really ...... It's a bit difficult. ”
Empress Wei's residence must have been more heavily defended than the rest of the palace.
He Xiaokite: "...... What kind of treasure is it that makes you so desperate to get it back?"
Qu Yunhe said in a low voice: "It's a jar of wine." ”
Yan Saburo frowned. He Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "More than 30 years of aging, it must be very fragrant, right?"
Qu Yunhe nodded: "Hmm." ”
"......" He Xiaoyuan suddenly slapped the table hard, "Make no mistake, I took such a big risk to go in and get a jar of wine for you!
"She snatched my lines. Chitose's dissatisfied voice came from Yan Saburo's ears.
"There's no substitute for it. Qu Yunhe's face was calm, "You don't have anything on you that seems ordinary to others, but weighs more than a thousand gold to you?"
He Xiaoyuan was stunned.
Yes, of course.
"Well, since you have come here, you must go to the palace anyway. Yan Saburo ended the confrontation between the two of them and said to Qu Yunhe Road, "Let's talk about the fixed astrolabe, let's find its weaknesses." Nothing in this world is perfect. ”
His voice and countenance were calm, but he was able to interrupt the small unhappiness at once. I don't know when his words and deeds have played a decisive role in this small team.
Qu Yunhe also exhaled: "The fixed astrolabe is in me, um-" Before he set out with the Yasukuni army, "It was lost a long time ago, and I never expected that the Guardian Kingdom would be able to recover it and use it to guard the palace." In this way, I am afraid that the initial loss of the fixed astrolabe is still somewhat related to the ancestors of the Patriotic Nation. ”
Yan Saburo nodded: "A hundred years ago, before Yasukuni fell, the country was already strong. ”
"Don't be off-topic. He Xiaoyuan knocked on the table, "Said back to the astrolabe." ”
"The whole palace shares 9,990 star pillars, in fact, not only the large and small pillars, but also the city walls, flag towers, theaters, and corner towers are made of special materials, so there are almost no dead corners in the coverage of the star pillars. But in this way, the astrolabe must be placed on the central axis of the palace and must not be moved without permission, so that the whole palace can be displayed. ”
He Xiaoyuan understood: "That is to say, it can't be moved, it can only be fixed in one place." ”
Otherwise, how to get a "fixed" word?
"Yes. Qu Yunhe continued, "King Jing's Palace has only built an incense burner hall here, which was originally used for stargazing and alchemy. If the incense burner hall continues to be used for so many years, most of the astrolabe will still be placed in the meantime. ”
