Chapter 69: The Inner City of the Palace
Qin Fei waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang, it's better not to disturb everyone when I enter Beijing this time, all entertainment exchanges are forgiven Qin Mou can't be accompanied, if the movement is too big to startle the thief, I'm afraid it will go against my original intention." ”
Wang Wentai hurriedly agreed, and Qin Fei said again: "Brother Wang, please also step up the defense of the inner city and the palace city, I can wait here for myself, if there is a need, I will go to find you." ”
Wang Wentai nodded his head, and went to the gate of the courtyard to carefully instruct a group of servants and maids, before turning around and saying goodbye to Qin Fei and the others, but Duo'er left Mama Gu to talk in the main room.
Seeing that this courtyard was more exquisite than the courtyards of Guyun Mountain and Lianyun Peak before, Shen'er Mo'er was happy in her heart, so she went to the wings on both sides to place things, and called the maid to serve tea to everyone.
Duo'er invited Mama to sit down and asked, "Old man, is Sister Gu okay now, have you ever been in trouble behind the word exchange door?"
"That's not true, it's just that it doesn't feel peaceful when I return to the capital, first there seem to be night pedestrians walking around Jinghuan at night, but I don't really see it, and then the man in black enters the palace to assassinate, even the children of the Wang family, the Feng family, and the He family. ”
While he was talking, the maid came to report: "The eldest lady of the Gu family came to see Qin Shaoxia and Miss Shulu." ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly went out to greet each other, only to see that Wang Wentai was accompanying Gu Yueqin and had come to the courtyard. This was the first time Gu Yueqin had come to the front of the palace, and she only took Wang Wentai into the courtyard with joy like an angel official in the palace.
Qin Fei and Duo'er hurriedly stepped forward, Duo'er held Gu Yueqin's hand and said, "Sister Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you miss me to death, why don't you wait for us to go out to meet you, and please don't blame the sister for being rude." ”
Gu Yueqin stroked the back of Duo'er's hand with her hand and said, "Knowing that you are coming to the front of the palace, I can't wait for a moment, so I will come to see you." You and I are like sisters, why do you need that set of vulgar etiquette, I won't just come in by myself. He looked at Qin Fei again and praised: "It's still a pair of beautiful people in the painting, and the style is especially better than in the past." ”
Duo'er's face turned crimson when he said this, and Qin Fei flew to the prime minister: "Sister, please sit down in the main room and speak." ”
Gu Yueqin nodded, surrounded by everyone, came to the main room, everyone sat down, the maid served fragrant tea, and Wang Wentai sat down in the corner of the door.
Qin Fei and Duo'er told Gu Yueqin about the situation of Lianyunfeng Cottage, and repeatedly thanked Gu Yueqin for the money and food sent by Gu Yueqin, Gu Yueqin pretended to be angry and said: "You two are my younger brothers and sisters, but you always have to say that you are born, and if you say that your sister will not follow." ”
The two had to change the topic, Qin Fei said: "Sister, I heard that since I returned to the capital, I have not come to harass the word gate, but I found that there were night walkers around Jinghuan at night. ”
Gu Yueqin said: "That's right, about two or three times, Mama heard the sound, and when she went out to check, there was no one in sight. ”
Qin Fei said: "Sister, do you know the origin of the other immortal library, the Hongbao immortal library?"
Gu Yueqin said: "I remember that when we were in Dadu, we went to Red Leaf Villa, and Old Man Zhou said that it was the place where the Wuzong sect received the books. What, is there something else going on?"
"It is the other inside story, that Hongbao Changsheng Library is not only the place where the Wuzong sect receives the books, but also the Wuzong Kun Zimen behind the scenes, and the ancestors of the old man Zhou have disappeared in the rivers and lakes, so I don't know. ”
Gu Yueqin was taken aback when she heard this, but unexpectedly, Qin Fei's next words surprised her a lot, "That Kunzimen and Duizimen have taken refuge in the Jurchens, and the matter of Tai'a Jian entering the palace to assassinate them is inseparable from them, and even the death of Liao Shengzong and Huode Zhenjun twenty years ago is also related to this Kunzimen." ”
This time, even Wang Wentai, who was sitting at the door, was so shocked that he almost fell off the stool, and only looked at Qin Fei with his mouth wide open.
Qin Fei will encounter the matter of the Duzimen and the Kunzimen teaming up to seek revenge in Xiangzhou, and he will explain the story in detail.
"At present, the word gate should not take care of the trouble of finding the gopher gate, the first priority is to prepare for the Jurchen army to go south, I heard that Aguta has officially established the country in Huanglong Mansion as Dajin, and his ambition is really not small. ”
Wang Wentai interjected at the door: "Yesterday morning, the news came from the eight-hundred-mile fast horse that the Jurchens had captured the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing of the Liao State, and the guard general Xiao Tzu also surrendered, and he would go south in a few days. ”
When Gu Yueqin heard this, she was quite shocked: "In this way, there are more wars and disasters in this world, and this is going to be a big fight!"
Wang Wentai asked, "Qin Shaoxia, do you want to send someone to copy the Hongbao Immortal Library now and wipe out that thief?"
Qin Fei hurriedly waved his hand: "No, according to my guess, the person who entered the palace is extremely skilled, at least not under the Liao Imperial Court, or even higher." Such a person is that no matter how many people besiege you, you can calmly escape in the market, so you don't know where he is going to flee, and it will be difficult to find him again. ”
"So what should I do now? Seeing that the emperor's deadline is only one month left, how can this be good. Wang Wentai said with a sad face.
Gu Yueqin also sighed, and said to Qin Fei: "Brother, these people are all descendants of the Gopher Gate, although they have entered the court, they have not forgotten their origins, they take care of the door every day, and they also take out silver taels every year to help the poor children in the door, so I can't bear to see them in prison, and even affect their families, if they can reach out to help, they will also help." ”
Qin Fei saw Gu Yueqin so solemnly trusted, so he explained: "Sister, don't worry, I expect that although this assassin did not succeed in entering the palace for the first time, but seeing that there is no master inside and outside the palace, he will definitely enter the palace for the second time. If the emperor's deadline is approaching, and the thief has not yet moved, it will not be too late to copy the Hongbao Immortal Library at that time. ”
Gu Yueqin nodded: "Now it seems that this is a safe way." Wentai, your side of the day check, don't let the thieves be alert, but every night you have to send more people to guard the inner city and the palace city, don't take it lightly. ”
Wang Wentai bowed down and said to Gu Yueqin: "Sister Gu, now we are all in this palace, but it is inconvenient for you and Mama to live in Jinghuan, I have a lot to say to my sister, why don't you and Mama move here." ”
Wang Wentai hurriedly got up and said: "It's the same as the courtyard next door to this courtyard, if you want to help the old man live here, it would be great, but you can't ask for it." ”
Gu Yueqin smiled and looked at Mama Gu, and when she saw that Mama Gu also nodded slightly, she said, "Okay, anyway, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have something to say to my sister, so I'll stay here for a while and accompany you." ”
Wang Wentai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly came to the courtyard outside and called for people to clean up the courtyard next door.
Seeing that it was already evening, Wang Wentai arranged for someone to send a banquet, and everyone ate in this main house, and when everyone had finished dinner, Wang Wentai got up and retreated, and went to arrange the defense of the inner city and the palace city at night, and went to arrange the patrol of the outer city with the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Qin Fei saw that everyone was gossiping around under the lamp, Gu Yueqin and Shen'er, Mo'er and Shang were the first to meet, holding the hands of the two, and asking long and short questions were also very fond, Shen'er and Mo'er were talking to Gu Yueqin about the thirteen chapters of the ghost valley swordsmanship, if it wasn't for the evening, they would go to the courtyard to practice for Gu Yueqin, which made Gu Yueqin and Gu Mama laugh.
Qin Fei stepped forward and bowed and said, "Sister, I want to go to the palace at this night, first, to see the defense of the front division of the palace, and second, to see if I can meet the thief." ”
When Duo'er heard this, she also wanted to accompany Qin Fei, Qin Fei said: "You and your sister haven't seen each other for many days, and you are still here to talk to your sister, and it is convenient for me to come and go alone." ”
When Duo'er heard this, she had to give up. Gu Yueqin saw that Qin Fei was going to visit the palace at night, and her heart was good, with Qin Fei's skills, no one could detect it, and she could also secretly help Wang Wentai and others defend themselves, so she said: "Brother, you can go by yourself, but you must also be careful." ”
Qin Fei nodded and promised, left the main house, changed into dark clothes, briefly tightened his clothes, took the sword behind his back, and left the school lieutenant's office and ran in the direction of the inner city.
Qin Fei's trip did not intend to alarm the people in front of the palace, but he crept all the way, and after a while, he came to the inner city wall, and crossed the palace wall from here, and inside was the Daqing Palace.
Daqing Hall is the place where the saint places the public in the outer court, that is, the Eight Treasures Golden Hall that the folk often say, and after the Daqing Hall is the Wende Hall and the Purple Mourning Palace.
Qin Fei looked around, only to see that the night guard was guarding three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there were many squads patrolling back and forth, and there were even small groups of horses on duty in the outer circle, guarding the palace city like an iron bucket.
Qin Fei nodded secretly, it seemed to be such a guard, if the thief came, even if he couldn't be captured, it was not easy to hide his body. Qin Fei secretly used the magic skills of the veins and acupoints, held his breath and concentrated, dissipating the energy around his body, like a black harrier eagle, slowly rising under the palace wall, and his figure dissolved in the night, even if he was close, it was difficult to notice.
