Volume 3 Northwest Look Chapter 82 The Old Place Awaits You

Long Shaoyang nodded, smiled silently at Xiao Yuanying, turned around and followed behind Zhu Xibing, and walked away.

Out of the post house, the two came to the street, it was almost noon, only to see pedestrians bustling, very lively. From time to time, there are Xiliang cavalry armed with swords shuttling back and forth, and the momentum is majestic. Long Shaoyang couldn't help but look at it twice, and sighed in his heart, these Xiliang soldiers are fierce and brave, even compared with the forbidden army of the East Palace, they are not inferior at all.

The two walked out of the hundred feet, and Zhu Xibing suddenly walked to the side of the road and stopped at a stall. I saw a few wooden planks erected along the street spread a piece of felt, on which were placed all kinds of scimitars, of different sizes, longer than a foot, short a few inches, and behind stood a man with a full beard.

Zhu Xibing picked up a short knife casually, played with it for a while, held the handle of the knife, pulled the knife out of the sheath, only to hear the sound of "Zheng", a cold light flashed, and said happily: "I have long heard that the Xiliang scimitar is famous all over the world, and when I see it today, it is really not ordinary!"

Seeing that the two of them were gorgeously dressed and elegant, the Xiliang man guessed that they were either nobles and wealthy families, or wealthy businessmen, and said with a sincere smile: "This girl is a connoisseur at first glance, and this scimitar you hold is the best one in a hundred! "He speaks Chinese fluently.

Zhu Xibing smiled: "Well, the knife is a good knife. Traveling thousands of miles to Liangzhou to get a Xiliang scimitar and use it, it is not worth the trip!" As he spoke, he handed the scimitar to Long Shaoyang, took out a silver ingot from his waist, threw it to the Xiliang man, and said: "No need to look for itβ€”hey, shopkeeper, why are so many officers and soldiers going back and forth on the street today? But what is happening?"

The Xiliang man smiled and opened his hands, took the silver, and said with a smile: "Thank you, girl, for rewarding you! Seeing that the two of you are the first to come back to Liangzhou, and you are not familiar with the place, let me tell you, those officers and soldiers are all soldiers of the King of Qin." It's a common thing for them to patrol the streets in groups of three or five – we're used to it!"

Zhu Xibing said: "It turned out to be the soldiers of Li Qi, the king of Qin, what a big show!"

The Xiliang man looked around and said in a low voice, "The girl has to be careful when she speaks." King Qin's power is very large, and today Da Liang is him except for His Majesty, which is one person above and below ten thousand people. ”

Zhu Xibing deliberately stuck out his tongue, nodded and said, "Oh, that really should be careful." He stepped forward and said, "I heard that the mansion of the King of Qin is magnificent, one of the best in this Liangzhou city, we have just arrived, and we want to see and see, but I don't know how to go this way?"

Long Shaoyang's heart moved, knowing the intention of her words, he secretly praised it, but saw that the Xiliang man paused for a moment, stretched out his hand, and said in a low voice: "Along this street, walk forward through three intersections, turn left and the first compound on the right hand side is, it is easy to find." Guest officer, Rong Xiao's mouth is too much, it doesn't hurt for you to take a look at it, don't stop and stay, in case it is discovered by the officers and soldiers patrolling the palace, it will touch a big mold!"

Zhu Xibing smiled: "I know." Brother Lao reminded us that we just went to take a look, and it won't get in the way. He said goodbye.

After walking away, Long Shaoyang said with a smile: "I wish the girl, a good trick to ask for directions, there is no trace!"

Zhu Xibing laughed and said, "Thanks to the gold medal of Brother Long, the little sister is ashamed!"

The two of them followed the guidance of the Xiliang man, walked along the street, did not waste a cup of tea, turned the third intersection, and saw a large compound on the right hand side of the street, the house was undulating, and made a piece; there was an attic standing in the air in the southeast corner, about ten zhang high, the eaves and arches were extremely magnificent, and it could be seen from afar that there were soldiers on duty. The wide street in front of him, except for two soldiers with swords standing on the left and right in front of the gate of the mansion not far away, was unexpectedly empty, which was very different from the bustling scene on the street.

Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing looked at each other silently, and couldn't help but gasp: the defense of King Qin's mansion was much tighter than imagined, especially the attic, which was condescending and occupied the best location, and the surrounding situation could be observed.

Although the two of them were surprised in their hearts, they did not dare to stay in place, and immediately pretended to visit and watch, and walked towards the front of the mansion.

There were still more than ten zhang away from the gate of the palace, and a guard soldier stepped forward quickly and shouted: "Who are you? This is the important place of the palace, and idle people are not allowed to approach. ”

Long Shaoyang was about to speak, but Zhu Xibing quietly ripped off his shirt, and said with a smile: "This military master, what did you just say...... The palace is important, look at this attic...... Isn't this Funing Temple? The two of us went in and went to the pillar incense and left, and we didn't stay long!"

The soldier was stunned, looked up and down at Long Zhu and the two, and saw that they were dressed luxuriously, not like mortals, especially the young woman who was talking in front of him, with a beautiful face and a moon appearance, full of nobility, he didn't dare to be abrupt, looked back at another soldier in front of the mansion, and said with a smile: "Funing Temple? girl, I'm afraid that you are mistaken, this is not Funing Temple, this is the residence of King Qin." ”

"King Qin's Mansion?" Zhu Xibing exclaimed, "The second child of the inn said that this is Funing Temple, oops, I can't imagine that this kid actually made up a lie to trick us, and he must think that the reward we gave is too littleβ€”it's all because you are too picky." I've walked so many miles in vain!Hmph!" Long Shaoyang glanced at him as he spoke, raised his hand and beat him lightly, just like a male and female couple with strong feelings flirting and scolding.

Long Shaoyang's face was embarrassed, and he smiled but it was difficult to push it away.

The soldier laughed, waved his hand, and motioned for them to turn back and leave.

The two turned and left. Zhu Xibing covered his chest with his hands, and said in his heart: "Thank God, I didn't let these soldiers see any flaws!" Who knew that he had just walked ten steps, and suddenly a loud voice behind him shouted: "Slow down, two!" It was the voice of the soldier just now.

Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xi Bing were taken aback, and a chill surged up their backs under the sunny day, and they didn't know what to do, so they heard the soldier say in a loud voice: "You go along this street, turn right at the end, and then two more streets, the one with red walls and yellow tiles is." ”

When the two of them heard his words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Xibing turned around and bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "There is Lao Junye's guidance!" said and took Long Shaoyang's hand and walked hand in hand.

Turning into the street entrance and taking more than ten steps, Zhu Xibing suddenly glanced at Long Shaoyang with disgust and joy, and said, "What's the matter?

Long Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "Miss Zhu, it's obvious that you pulled up mine first-"

"Really? Zhu Xibing pouted and said, "Who saw it? Anyway, I didn't see it, since no one saw it, naturally I can't do it." ”

Long Shaoyang knew that she deliberately denied it, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, smiled slightly, and changed the topic: "Miss Zhu, why did you just say that as soon as you said Funing Temple, the soldier believed you, and only said that you were in the wrong place?"

Zhu Xibing pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's just that there is also an attic in Funing Temple, which is somewhat similar to this attic in the prince's mansion. ”

Funing Temple is located in the east of Liangzhou City and has a history of hundreds of years. Li Bing, the founding monarch of Xiliang, often came here to worship the Buddha when he was in Longqian, and after ascending the throne, he allocated a lot of money to repair it. Although you are the lord of a country, the government affairs are complicated, but to come to Funing Temple to worship the Buddha, Li Bing is persistent, over time, Funing Temple has become the royal temple of Xiliang, famous. Although Long Shaoyang had heard of Funing Temple for a long time, he did not know many details such as an attic in the temple. At this time, when I heard Zhu Xibing talk about the attic, I was surprised, and said with a smile: "Look at you like this, it seems that you are quite familiar with this Liangzhou City." ”

"That's nature. Zhu Xibing grinned and said, "This girl never does anything unprepared. As he spoke, he suddenly changed his face, looked around, and lowered his voice: "Brother Long, let's go back to the post house first and recuperate our spirits." At the third watch tonight, I will come to the room to look for you, and let's explore the Qin Wangfu together! Also, you put this thing away first, and take a good look when you return to the room alone. As he spoke, he took out an object from his waist and stuffed it into Long Shaoyang's hand, and without waiting for him to answer, he turned around and left.

Long Shaoyang was stunned, saw that there was a folded silk silk in his hand, and shook it hard. Raising his eyes to look at the back that was getting farther and farther away, he suddenly smiled to himself, put the silk silk into his arms, and raised his heels.

For a whole afternoon, as expected, Zhu Xibing's figure was gone, Long Shaoyang stayed in the room alone, took out the silk silk from his waist, carefully spread it on the table, and was surprised and delighted: It turned out that this was actually a floor plan of King Qin's mansion. The attics, pavilions, halls, gardens, etc. in the picture are clearly marked one by one, and they are very detailed. Long Shaoyang couldn't help but secretly praise: "Miss Zhujia is really powerful, not only is she very familiar with the buildings in Liangzhou City such as Funing Temple, but she can also get top secret things such as the floor plan of King Qin's mansion!"

After dinner, Long Shaoyang turned off the lights early, lay on the bed and tossed and turned, but he couldn't sleep, and after tossing for a while, he sat up and meditated. It was easy to survive until midnight, and just after the gong of the third watch in the distance, I heard a soft knock on the door, and as soon as the door was pushed out of a crack, a black shadow flashed in.

Lined with the lanterns in the corridor, Long Shaoyang had already seen that the person in front of him was Zhu Xibing, who had changed into men's clothes, and saw that she was still holding a burden in her hand.

Long Shaoyang said happily: "I wish the girl, you are really a believer!" and jumped off the bed as he spoke.

"This girl has always been true to her word, and when will she break her word?" Zhu Xibing said with a smile, casually put the burden on the table, untied it and took out a dress, but it was a cyan robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves.

Long Shaoyang's heart lit up, and he immediately understood Zhu Xibing's intentions, only to see her put her clothes on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, this place is no better than Luocheng, there are no good things to buy, so I will wear it." He turned around and closed the door, and said, "I'll wait for you in the old place." ”
