Volume 1 A Dream Is Long and Short Chapter 30 Origin
The fire in the imperial city was lit by candlelight, the roof tiles fell to the ground, and the sound of the beams and pillars collapsing was mixed with the roars and screams of the palace maids and eunuchs, and it was chaotic. It was the autumn and winter when the dry matter was dry, and at night the north wind suddenly turned to the north, and the wind was strong. At this time, the wind helped the fire, and seeing that the fire could not be extinguished, a huge Manhua Garden was about to be burned to the ground in a blink of an eye. When it was terrible, one of the two satin warehouses in the south began to glow faintly
"Oh no, the granary is on fire!"
The scream of a small palace maid screamed that everyone hurriedly turned around, and looked in the direction of the little palace maid's finger, only to see high smoke rising from the granary, and the billowing fire spread far away. Flames rose into the sky, bursting out of the billowing smoke with red, yellow, and purple flames. The sound of the collapse of the beams and pillars of the house is like a tsunami landslide, and the tide is coming from far and near.
The two fires completely disturbed Lin Yueyan and the Empress Dowager Zhao who were discussing in the Xiwu Palace, and the Empress Dowager picked up the jade Ruyi carved with a delicate lotus pattern on the side of the couch, the jade Ruyi hung down the soft tassels, and a lotus seed jade dew made of water jasper color was embedded in it, revealing a mysterious blue light under the candle flame.
"Fu'an, what's wrong outside?" the Queen Mother stroked Ruyi in her hand, and her fingertips gently stroked the subtle uneven lines. But there is no peace in his eyes
"Queen Mother, it's the Manhuayuan and the two satin warehouses in the South Three Institutes that have gone out of the water, and they are all messed up for firefighting," Grandpa Mei leaned over and replied
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned and put down the movements in her hand, frowning slightly, as if she was a little suspicious. Somehow, she suddenly remembered that Chen Xuanyu, this kid, if she didn't get rid of it as soon as possible, she would become a scourge
"What do you mean Nansansuo?" Lin Yueyan on the side looked up when she heard the voice, and saw her frowning slightly, although her expression was as usual, her eyes clearly flashed with worry.
Lin Yueyan's question suddenly woke up the Zhao family, her own Xiwu Palace is in the northeast, and the emperor is meeting in the previous dynasty, how can it be the three southern institutes!
"Fu'an, did Chen Xuanyu leave directly after leaving the palace?" The candles in the hall were about to burn out, and the faint candle flame struggled to flicker with a dim light.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the old slave and Xiao Anzi watched the prince go out of the palace gate, and the prince went straight out of the palace after leaving the Xiwu Palace. โ
"Yueyan, let's go and have a look with the mourning family!"
At that moment, a candle in the side hall of the temple was suddenly extinguished. A wisp of white smoke drifted out of the wax core, slowly dispersing into the darkness. The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly gloomy, and when she looked back, she felt a lingering worry enveloping her heart. Mei Gonggong waved his hand to signal the maid to change the candle, and noticed that the arm of the queen mother was pressed, and the eyes of the master and servant met, and after suddenly feeling the deep and cold eyes, Mei Fuan strode towards the palace, and Xiao Anzi on the side hurriedly came over to replace the master, and stood on the side with his hands down, at the same time, almost no one noticed that one of the maids waiting for Lin Yueyan outside the hall was missing, and a group of people walked out of the Xiwu Palace.
The shouts in the palace wall gradually faded away, and across a thick palace wall of vermilion and green tiles, the firelight color echoed in every corner of the palace city, and He Jinyue, who was lying on the eaves, watched the queen mother and the others leave in a mighty way, and stood up at the moment, lifted his breath and went straight down the palace wall, and his body was like a shadow. As soon as he entered the Zhaoyue Pavilion, He Jinyue slowly walked along the palace wall to the cloud corridor behind the main hall, there was a semicircular arch in the corner, and there was a small garden along the arch, and the bluestone bricks under the pavilion in the courtyard were the hidden grids of the secret passage, He Jinyue stared at the map and pressed it vigorously! 'Boom', the bluestone brick surface on the side of the pavilion suddenly opened a half-foot entrance,
"Who's there?" The patrolling guards rushed to hear the sound, looking at the figure of a person in the pavilion, Chen Xuanyu couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly turned over into the secret passage, the rock under him was cold and refreshing, and he stood still for a long time, those guards were far away from the sound of patrol footsteps, He Jinyue dared to take action, and he only felt the fog deep in the secret passage, walking in the middle of the road, only touching the two cool rock walls, faintly revealing the cold air, and extending forward, along the memory He Jinyue groped all the way, and what his hand touched was the cold rock wall, the difference was only the frost pain on the finger bonesใ After several folds, He Jinyue suddenly felt that his head was empty, so he wanted to reach out and lift the slate, but suddenly his ears moved slightly, he heard a sound of footsteps from afar, and the footsteps quickly stopped on the bluestone brick slab where he was
"How did Grandpa Mei deploy so many forbidden troops tonight?"
"I heard the vial say that he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to steal."
"It's scary, let's put down the cup and go back quickly!"
After the voices of the two palace maids gradually disappeared, He Jinyue lightly lifted the green brick, turned over and turned out to be under the table! He Jinyue took advantage of the moonlight passing through the window, vaguely saw that this was the Shou'an Hall in the Xiwu Palace, and there were tea cups and snacks brought by the two palace maids just now on the table, He Jinyue didn't dare to stay longer, and only after observing that there was no one around, he jumped out of the window, and continued to walk along the map to think about the Queen Mother Zhao's bedroom, which can be described as thrilling and abnormal, patrolling is no longer an ordinary palace guard, but has become a saber elite guard, He Jinyue faintly knew in his heart that this matter was not good, but now he had to continue to move forward
And the Queen Mother and her entourage first came to Manhuawan, and the originally splendid palace was now burned by the pillars and collapsed, and the walls collapsed, and it was lifeless. At this moment, the palace gate is lonely, the people's hearts are faint, and the horror can be seen from this. Man Huawan's group of people were summoned to the Muyuan Palace, the Queen Mother was furious, the hall was silent, the fire in the satin warehouse on the other side was still not extinguished, Chen Xuan was going to lead the troops to defend the frontier in a few days, thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be angry,
"Who is it!" the silence of the night was unusually loud and eerie.
On the other side, He Jinyue didn't know when he changed into the clothes of the little eunuch of Xiwu Palace, hung his head and hurriedly walked to the main hall, on the way He Jinyue saw that the doors and windows of the main hall were closed, and the hall was dim and silent, faintly revealing the murderous intention, compared to the practice of strict search by the guards of the third class of the Treasure Pavilion, He Jinyue felt that the back of the main hall was the real 'big show', this method of hiding people's eyes and ears was really clever! He Jinyue hid himself and squatted behind a cluster of holly, looked at the faint fire of Nansansuo with a half sound, and slowly took out the fire fold from his arms, and suddenly hooked the corners of his lips. The face that had been as cold as frost a moment ago seemed to have suddenly changed, and the thin pale red lips looked extremely cold in the moonlight. Since I can't find the Soul Gathering Cup, let you send it to me yourself!
Mei Fu'an in the palace and a group of guards guarded in the palace, Mei Fu'an always felt that something was wrong, all rumored that the treasure pavilion in the queen mother's palace listed the world's treasures, but in fact, the real treasures are only guarded by them now, Mei Fu'an did not dare to make a mistake, but the bottom of his heart vaguely felt uneasy, suddenly'squeak' everyone was already nervous, such as the string of the bow was ready to go instantly, and they all stood up suddenly, raised their hands with the momentum, the knife was out of the sheath, and looked around cautiously
"Squeak Squeak"
"It's a mouse, but I'm scared to death" After hearing it clearly, the big man of the forbidden army led by him breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to appease the crowd, and looked at the quiet surroundings, Mei Fuan's original heart slowly relaxed, and slowly got up and sat on the ground with his hand support
"Squeak Squeak"
"Squeak Squeak"
"Squeak Squeak"
"Grandpa Mei, why are the rats in Xiwu Palace so noisy" Several forbidden soldiers also looked at Mei Fuan on the side in confusion, Mei Fuan's face was still as silent as water, and he muttered in his heart, I haven't heard these rats so good at calling on weekdays, just when Mei Fuan underestimated
"Squeak Squeak"
Squeak squeak squeak~
More and more rats screamed, and the sound became more and more terrible, and everyone listened carefully to the sound that was getting closer and closer, and it was running towards the temple. Suddenly, from under the table of the table, a black shadow came out of the life, the number of rats under the table ran in all directions, through the beam, some climbed on the desk, the cabinet chair climbed up, and what really shocked everyone was that all the rats were on fire, some of the rats were on stilts with flames, and some of the flames were getting stronger with the limbs of the rats running away, and before everyone could react, the main hall became a sea of fire, although there was still a steady stream of rats igniting the flames on their bodies to other furniture. Mei Fuan only felt a burst of fire rushing to the top of his head, and felt as if he had been hit his head. It turned out that the scorched rat on the beam fell, but the others were not so lucky, the body was ignited by the fire, Mei Fuan was furious at the moment, and the palace maid and eunuch outside suddenly found the fire in the hall full of fire, with a light sound on the eaves, igniting the fire on the entire eaves instantly, the roar of the wood exploded, and then the fire surged out wildly in the bright red light, and the tongue of fire was overwhelming, and it swept away in all directions to the eaves of the eight corners of the bat, and instantly spread the huge main hall into a sea of fire.
The hall is not optimistic, the fire is from the inside out, the inside is already a mess, the only few people who are left rushed from the apse to the front hall, Mei Fuan tightly held the jade box in his hand, but the fire rose very fast, one window after another fell, and the door also fell. After that, the beams were broken one by one, and several Praetorian guards were crushed and burned by the broken pillars and beams of doors and windows. Mei Fuan rushed forward, and was suddenly tightly pressed by the floating beam on the top of the hall, and was panicked at this moment, at this time it was not far from the main hall, and suddenly a little eunuch ran from outside, and the hall was full of smoke and fire, Mei Fuan was already a little overwhelmed, delirious, and couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly took advantage of the last consciousness to hand over the jade box in his hand to the person, and then felt a light on his back, and the whole person was dragged up, and the whole person was dragged forward with a staggering step.
And that little eunuch is none other than He Jinyue, who has been planning for a long time! He Jinyue has a flexible figure, since he was a child, he has been practicing martial arts with his grandfather and father, his legs and feet are vigorous, and his waist is flexible, as if his whole body is a flexible lynx. In the sea of fire to avoid the danger ahead, the palace maids and eunuchs outside the hall were anxious, and basins of water were poured down, and the fire did not decrease in the slightest, and the little eunuch exclaimed at this time
"Someone's coming out!"
Everyone followed the prestige to see the figures of two people in the firelight, watching the injured Mei Gong and everyone hurriedly rushed forward to help him, and the little eunuch's face was burned and he couldn't distinguish his original appearance, everyone secretly admired in their hearts, the little eunuch seemed to be too tired, he sat down alone, stuffed the jade box beside him to a little palace maid, waved his hand and drove the person to Mei Fu'an's side, picked up the water basin on the ground in front of everyone, and hurried away with the other palace maids and eunuchs who were rescued
As soon as he came out of everyone's sight, He Jinyue flashed into the bushes behind the wing, slowly tore off the rotten skin on his face, and changed into his own black clothes, like a colorful big cat in the cool moonlight, moving lightly, silently, weird and mysterious. But suddenly, He Jinyue's shoulders tightened, and when he looked at his shoulders again, his flesh and blood were already blurred, He Jinyue didn't know when a secret guard came behind him, and without waiting for the dark guard to react, He Jinyue jumped lightly and came to the back of the dark guard and rushed straight to the door with one palm, and the dark guard didn't even have time to make a sound and died on the spot. He raised his left knee high, and then slashed his neck with a palm, directly breaking the vocal cords of the dark guard. As soon as he saw it, he put his left hand in front of the guard's chest, grabbed the opponent's wrist and dragged him into the bushes behind him.
When he got up again, He Jinyue looked at his right shoulder, under the moonlight, the crossbow arrow was faintly green, afraid that it was quenched poison, and before he could stand firmly, he felt a wave of dizziness overwhelmingly attacking, and his eyes became more and more dim. After making up his mind, He Jinyue had to change his plan and didn't dare to delay any longer, so He Jinyue moved a few steps like a ghost to the dead tree that Chen Xuanyu said, and the branches of the dead tree swayed in the cold wind, like skinny hands facing the sky. At this moment, Chen Xuanyu heard the voice of the Empress Dowager Zhao in the distance,
"Search for the mourning family!"
The sharp and mournful shout hovered in the air for a while, He Jinyue glanced at the dry well under the boulder, and thought about it.
As soon as he entered the well, He Jinyue continued to sink along the wall of the well, and suddenly there was a gradually sharp sound from the well, and He Jinyue was filled with a ghostly purgatory-like roar, and the arrow poison on his body was already poisonous, and at this time He Jinyue only felt the pain in his lower abdomen like thousands of poisonous insects gnawing inside. In the next second, a strong pull pulled He Jinyue down violently, and the surrounding water flow was noisy and tearing He Jinyue, the cold water around him was like ice, and it was pitch black everywhere, and the water was tearing and dragging him everywhere, and with a muffled sound of 'bang', He Jinyue was torn by the river and hit the rock wall at the bottom of the water, and He Jinyue's breath was also spit out, and his consciousness gradually fell into chaos. In the last second of fainting, He Jinyue kicked his legs in the water, eager to breathe air, and in the next second, He Jinyue only felt the rumbling river, and the thick and thick bloody gas, flickering and shaking the moonlight,,,,
He Jinyue seemed to have had a long dream, and the light and shadow in the eyes of the woman in the dream were bright and shining.
