By the time the two of them returned to the drizzly building, it was already dusk, and more than a dozen large tables had been set up in the backyard.

Xuanshi looked around, but didn't see Dou Sandao's figure, and said to Wuqing: "Dou Duwei hasn't come back yet." ”

Wuqing nodded and said in a low voice: "The palace was easily entered by a dragon, and it is estimated that the matter is not small." ”

Xuanshi was puzzled: "The palace is heavily guarded, and there is a large array to protect it, why can that dragon enter easily? ”

Wuqing smiled: "It's not something we worry about, you still care about whether you have vegetarian food at night." ”

The two were chatting, and a Jin Wuwei suddenly came in outside, looking around in a hurry, and when he saw Wuqing, he looked happy, and hurriedly strode over, and said to Wuqing: "But Wuqing? ”

Wuqing smiled helplessly at Xuanshi, spread his hands and said, "I just said that there was nothing wrong with us, and this matter came." ”

Xuanshi asked the Jin Wuwei: "This donor, can the little monk go?"

Jin Wuwei arched his hand with an embarrassed face: "Master, the place where I went here is very secret, and Dou Duwei only invited Wuqing alone......"

Wuqing said: "Okay Xuanshi, you can participate in the banquet, I'll go see if Brother Dou has anything to help." ”

He said to Jin Wuwei again: "Let's go, lead the way ahead." ”

The two of them walked out of the gate of the Qingfeng Drizzle Building one after the other and went straight to the palace.

The palace occupies a small area, on the southeast side of the old city of Chang'an, the south of the palace is the Xuande Gate, and it is also the main gate of the palace, the emperor will only use this door when the emperor goes out on patrol or a hundred officials participate in the court meeting on weekdays, and the Weihua Gate in the north is the door used by the palace for daily use on weekdays, buying vegetables, transporting carbon, and the palace personnel go in and out of this door, so the guard of the wafer gate is very strict, the outside is the guard of the Chang'an garrison tiger camp, outside the door is the Jinwu guard check, and there are large internal guards in the door to patrol.

That Jin Wuwei took Wuqing to the Weihua Gate, and when he passed through the place where the guards were stationed, he was the most severe, because Wuqing was a new face after all, although there was a token and a written order presented by Jin Wuwei, but he was still questioned carefully. When they arrived at the Jin Wuwei post outside the Weihua Gate, four Jin Wuwei had been waiting for a long time, and they entered the palace with Wuqing.

Through a few corridors, Wuqing was taken by the four Jin Wuwei to a garden, and there were no exotic plants in the garden, just a simple waterhole, a few pavilions and rockeries, and some dwarf plants, but they were very harmonious, making people walk in the center of it.

Passing through a rockery, Wuqing saw Dou Sandao and a few Jin Wuwei and some people in palace clothes were staring at the waterhole there, seeing that Wuqing had arrived, Dou Sandao hurriedly greeted him and said: "Come, brother, there are some things here that need your help to staff and staff." ”

Saying that, Wuqing led Wuqing to the edge of the pool, this waterhole is a hundred feet in circumference, the blue waves are rippling, some lotus leaves are blooming on the side of the pool, standing on the edge of the pool, you can feel a cool breeze coming, it must be a good place to cool off, but Wuqing did not have the heart to enjoy the scenery, and asked Dou Sandao after stopping at the edge of the pool: "The dragon is hiding here?"

Dou Sandao hadn't spoken yet, and a tall thin white-faced old man wearing a wide brocade robe next to him accosted: "Not in this pool, just now my son-in-law has explored the pool, and only recruited a hole at the bottom of the pool, the hole is extremely deep, there is an undercurrent surging, presumably connected with the underground dark river, I think the dragon ran away from this hole." ”

Wuqing knew that the person who was talking to him must also be a high-ranking official, so he arched his hand and said, "This senior, I don't know how many people asked me to come here?"

The old man laughed like an old eagle and said: "I heard Dou Duwei of Jin Wuwei say that you are a disciple of Fang Cun Mountain, and you are proficient in formations, this time I invite you to come here to help us take a look, how this dragon avoided many ears and eyes to enter the palace, and where did it run from here, and finally if you can, you will help the palace set up a few small formations to fill in these gaps." ”

Wu Qing frowned secretly, this old man spoke quite arrogantly, which made Wu Qing a little uncomfortable, he was looking at Dou Sandao's face, so he was polite, but he didn't expect this old man to be really unceremonious!

Dou Sandao stopped the words and said: "Brother, I really want to hear your opinion when I called you this time, after all, we are not very familiar with this formation or anything, the big array of this palace was set up by the masters, and there has been no mistake in the past few hundred years. ”

Wu Qing saw that Dou Sandao was soft to him, and he didn't want to worry about anything with the old man, so he nodded and said: "Since Brother Dou said so, then the little brother will try, but it's hard to say if he can help." With that, he jumped deep and plunged directly into the pool.

The old man looked at the splashing water, his eyes narrowed, and Dou Sandao next to him saw this, and leaned forward and said: "Manager Wu, this Wuqing is the bottom of our Jin Wuwei's Suo Ji Division has been thoroughly investigated, because the danger is set at the end of the day, I have not reported to Ouchi, if Manager Wu is interested, I will copy a copy of the information and send it to you." ”

The old man squinted at Dou Sandao, and suddenly smiled: "The person who came out of Fangcun Mountain was rated as the last class, and you also recruited him to Chang'an and entered your Qingfeng Drizzle Building, I really don't know if Yin Tianshou is old and confused, or if you are really a master of art and bold!"

When Dou Sandao heard him talk about General Yin Tianshou, he only frowned, did not have a seizure, and just arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Manager Wu, we have our own measure." ”

When the old man saw that Dou Sandao's words had come to this, he didn't say anything more, just shook his head and sighed: "I'm old! I won't go out in this palace again in the future, you can also bring a message to Yin Tianshou when you go back, and let him hurry up and recuperate! Don't die of exhaustion in Jin Wuwei in the end." ”

Dou Sandao nodded yes, at this moment, the waterhole suddenly had a storm, a whirlpool formed in the pool, there were originally a few water-based experts in the waterhole to investigate, and now these people jumped ashore, Dou Sandao hurriedly pulled a person over and asked, "What's the situation below?"

The man knelt down on one knee at the white-faced old man and replied: "Back to the chief manager, just now I went down to a person, and when I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I began to use the talisman to set up the formation, and signaled us to stay away, we just got out of the way, after he triggered the formation, suddenly there was a great suction force formed from the hole, and it was difficult for us to maintain our body shape by water alone, so we all went ashore, but before going ashore, I saw that the man did not move at the entrance of the cave, and he was not affected by the suction. ”

The old man nodded, and said with a smile: "This cub of Fangcun Mountain is a bit interesting. ”

As he spoke, the whirlpool on the surface of the waterhole became bigger and bigger, and the water level dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually he actually saw the bottom directly! Wuqing stood at the bottom of the center of the waterhole, his eyes looking straight at the hole that sucked all the water away, the hole was wide and hidden at the bottom of a boulder, and it was usually impossible to see it if he didn't look carefully.

Wu Qing saw that the surrounding water had been drained, jumped ashore, and said to Dou Sandao: "I have set up a traceability array, wait, you should be able to see it in a while." ”

............

After nearly an hour, the sky was dark, and everyone at the edge of the pool heard a rumbling sound coming from the cave, and when they were in doubt, suddenly a column of water more than ten zhang high erupted from the mouth of the cave, and the white-faced old man's nose moved, and his face was a little gloomy and said: "Why is there a smell of the sea? Could it be that the mouth of this cave actually leads to the sea?"

Needless to say, Dou Sandao and Wuqing also smelled the unique fishy smell of seawater that can only be smelled by the sea, Wuqing was also very surprised by this situation, originally according to his thoughts, this cave entrance was secretly connected to the nearby river, but he didn't expect this cave to lead directly to the sea thousands of miles away!

Chief Manager Wu stood there with a cloudy and uncertain expression, and suddenly sneered: "I said that how could this miscellaneous fish enter the palace is so easy, it turns out to be from the East China Sea Dragon Palace! This palace array was originally laid out by the people of the East China Sea Dragon Palace back then, but I didn't expect that even this palace was manipulated by them, but it was a good means!"

Wu Qing's expression moved, this is the first time that the Great Jin royal family is still involved in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and the large array of the palace is directly related to the safety of the royal family, so that the people of the East China Sea Dragon Palace can come to set up this array, obviously the relationship between the two families is extraordinary.

When Manager Wu faced Wuqing again, his face had eased, and he slowly arched his hand: "This time, I would like to thank Wuqing Xiaoyou for your help, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be clear if we are rough people, and I won't bother Xiaoyou about the formation." ”

This is exactly in the hands of Wuqing, this Chief Wu is mostly concerned about his own origins, and does not want to let himself participate in the arrangement of the palace array, which is the proper meaning, and he is too lazy to do such a thankless thing, so he arched his hand and said: "If there is nothing to do, I will leave." ”

Dou Sandao said on the side: "Then I'll send you out of the palace." ”

With the approval of Mr. Wu, Dou Sandao took Wuqing to the outside of the palace, just turned the rockery, and bumped into a team of palace maids, these palace maids stared at the rockery, anxious, but no one dared to respond, Wuqing turned his head along the gaze of these palace maids, and saw a woman in a light purple palace dress lying on the rockery, looking at the thin water column with relish, and from time to time he took out a preserved fruit from his sleeve and put it in his mouth to eat.

Dou Sandao also saw this woman, his face became a little crying and laughing, he didn't speak, he just pushed Wuqing to go out, but at this time, the woman looked back and looked at Wuqing opposite.

The woman in Wuqing's eyes is twenty-eight years old, with plump clouds, moth eyebrows and bright teeth, red lips, smiling eyes, slender body, short fit, white skin as snow, and quiet and leisurely. Just this glance made Wuqing's mouth dry and unconscious.

Dou Sandao noticed Wuqing's strange appearance, and when he saw that the woman had seen them, he had to turn around and salute: "The last general, Dou Sandao, the commander of Jinwuwei, see the Ninth Princess." ”

The woman chuckled, and when she heard it, it was as crisp and pleasant as a wind chime: "The three swords are all exempt, what are you doing? Do you want to dig a fountain? Why is Chief Wu also here?"

Dou Sandao knew that this matter was confidential, and he couldn't talk about it to the ninth princess in front of him, so he said: "It's just a routine inspection in the palace, as for the fountain in this pool...... The last general didn't know what General Manager Wu was planning, and if there was nothing to do, then the general would retire. After speaking, he got up and wanted to pull Wuqing away, but he heard the ninth princess say to Wuqing with a smile: "Hey, you, why are you staring at me like this?"

Wuqing replied as if he had been hooked, "You are so good-looking!"

The two palace maids who were leading the way on the side had their apricot eyes straightened up, and said angrily: "Bold! dare to be disrespectful to the Ninth Princess!"

Wuqing was also a little relieved at this time, and saw that the ninth princess on the opposite side blushed because of his words, and knew that he was a little abrupt, so he arched his hand and said: "The person who is outside the Xiahua does not understand etiquette, and he collided with the ninth princess, please forgive me." ”

The ninth princess was plain when she first saw Wuqing, but she just felt that this was an ordinary and unremarkable man, and she saw that he was wet and stared at herself before she said a word to him, and she didn't want this person to reply to make her heart feel like a deer crashing, but she felt that her face was hot, her heart beat faster, and she was a little flustered in her heart. At this time, when he saw that he had made amends, he said, "That's it, this princess is not punished, you ...... Get out of the palace!"

Dou Sandao didn't care about the cold sweat on his face, pulled Wuqing and left, didn't take a few steps, only to hear the ninth princess behind him shouting behind: "Hey......! What's your name?"

Wuqing stood still, turned around and said word by word: "My name is Wuqing!"
