Chapter 443: Turning off the lights and crossing the bridge
Chrysanthemum No. 1 wanted to escape from the Hundred Flowers Palace in a panic, and the boat had already sailed towards the gate of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Dong Qilang went up to the island, and at this time, the girls who were still walking in the rehearsal formation here had dispersed. Dong Qilang hid under a few willow trees by the gable. By this time, it was dark, and there were almost no human figures to be seen.
These willow trees have grown fine young leaves, and there are several colorful streamers on the willow trees.
In the place where the girls had just practiced their model steps, a translucent lamp was lit, and there was no light on the gable, and his whole body melted into the night.
He wanted to arrest someone to inquire about where the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace lived, but he didn't have the right one for a while. If he ran to this three-story building to catch a woman, he would definitely be fine, but he was afraid of alarming the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace and letting people slip away.
Just when he didn't have an idea for a while, he raised his eyes and saw that in front of him, there were several small buildings, all of which were lit up one after another.
Dong Qilang thought to himself, the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace is estimated to be in those small buildings, anyway, go up and take a look. He made a detour from behind the three-story building, but fortunately there was the backyard of the building, and there was no figure except for some miscellaneous items.
Crossing the three-room building, under the cover of night, I walked more than 100 meters to the east, and suddenly there was a light ahead. He quickly hid behind a boulder, and fixed his eyes to see that there was a small bridge with a few willow trees planted at both ends of the bridge, and a waterway under the bridge.
In terms of location, the bridge is deliberately separated from the rear, dividing the island into two parts. The small bridge is about five meters long and three meters wide. A headlight was hung in the center of the bridge. There were two guards on the small bridge, walking up and down from both ends of the bridge. It looks like it's on patrol.
Dong Qilang deduced that there were special guards here all the way from here, and there were people on duty twenty-four hours a day, indicating that this must be an important place, and nine times out of ten this is the residence of the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
But how to get over it has become a difficult problem. If you break in, you will definitely be able to break in, but it will also inevitably alarm the people inside, if the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace is related to the death of the God of Wealth, and she runs away, this matter will be even more troublesome.
If these two guards are killed, he and the people here have no grievances, so why do they have to kill. What's more, killing someone may not be able to stop the people here from not reporting to the Hundred Flowers Palace Lord, leaking the news, and letting the Hundred Flowers Palace Master escape, the result is not the same. Because they are not familiar with it, it will take time to find the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and during this time, they will find that there are dead people here, and they will naturally report it to the top.
He suddenly felt a little hungry, and then he realized that he hadn't eaten dinner yet. Dong Qilang suddenly thought: Isn't this time for dinner? If this guard goes to dinner or takes over shifts, he can get by. Although the lights on the bridge are bright, he still has this confidence.
"Da Liang, how does today's food taste? I feel really good, I haven't eaten delicious food for a long time. ”
"That's it, Daguang, you like to eat fish, especially that braised carp, it's awesome, how does it taste like you, anyway, I ate an extra bowl of rice than usual. ”
"Isn't it good, did the kitchen leave the braised carp for Zeng Zhong and them? We ate it, but the two brothers didn't eat it. ”
"It doesn't matter if they keep it or not, we just eat it. ”
"A friend of the class still has to care. ”
At this time, Dong Qilang heard the words of the two talking while walking back and forth on the bridge, and his heart was half cold. These two had come after dinner, and the shift had already passed, and like this kind of guard, one of their shifts was at least four hours, usually three shifts of eight hours, and when they were waiting for their next shift, they didn't know when they went.
Dong Qilang shrank his head in some disappointment, and his eyes were suddenly stabbed by the bright light. Hey, why don't you turn this light out and let me slip over while the light goes out, except for this light, there is only light on the wall a little farther away.
Dong Qilang touched a small pebble from his feet, he thought the pebble was too big, and with a slight force with his right hand, he crushed the pebble, chose the larger one, and prepared to throw it at the headlight.
But he found that it was a little farther away from the bridge, and if it didn't hit the lights, it would alarm the people. It is safe to go to the bridge to hit stones, but it is too close to the two of them and it is easy to be discovered.
There was only one best time, when the guards on their side had just turned their backs to the middle of the bridge, they crossed over, and when the two of them staggered in the middle of the bridge and just separated, they struck.
Dong Qilang thought about the process. He waited for the guards to go to the middle of the bridge, then flashed behind the willow tree, and when the two of them were in the middle of the bridge, they staggered to each other, and had barely taken two steps before he threw himself at the light.
With a slight "poof", the lights suddenly went out, and it was pitch black all around.
"The light is broken, who did it?"
"What's going on?" the two looked back.
Dong Qilang started quickly, people were like ghosts, rabbits rose and fell, and a black shadow flashed from the bridge.
The two guards didn't notice that he had gone from one end to the other. Luckily for him, he had already crossed the bridge just as the two of them looked back and asked why the lights were bad.
Crossing the small bridge, Dong Qilang walked into a garden. There were several small buildings in front of him, and he didn't know where the residence of the Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace was, so he decided to go to the nearest place where the light was shining first.
He searched for darkness as far as he could, and when he saw a light or a man, he took refuge in the shadows, and when he had walked thirty or fifty paces, he saw a wall, about three meters high. Outside the fence, I smelled the smell of meat.
Dong Qilang was happy in his heart, this must be the kitchen, he was hungry, and he had to go inside to find something to eat. Dong Qilang jumped over, climbed over the fence, and entered the courtyard.
This is the back door of the kitchen and the passage for the sewage treatment of the kitchen. There was also a water pipe on the ground, and some oil and water were flowing out. Through the window, you can see that this room is full of cooking utensils, and some prepared meals, and there is no doubt that it is the kitchen.
But the door was closed. Dong Qilang tried to push it with his hand, but the door was closed so tightly that he couldn't get in at all. At this moment, he heard a voice in one of the rooms inside, and led the people inside, and as long as someone opened the door, there was a way to enter.
In order to be more safe, Dong Qilang put the water pipe on the ground to the threshold, and when the door opened, let the water pipe fall on the threshold, and if the door could not be closed, he could go in.
He picked up the water pipe in his hand, knocked on the door at one end, and it didn't seem to be heard inside, he tapped a little harder a second time, and then someone came over, but when he walked to the door, he didn't hear the sound and walked back.
Seeing this, Dong Qilang slapped the water pipe on the ground, and with a "snap", this relatively clear sound finally made the people inside walk to the door and open the door. A cook in a white pointed hat stuck his round head out, looked twice, and then retracted.
"Chef Jiang, what's the situation, is there still wine?"
At this time, Dong Qilang heard someone inside asking.
"It's okay, maybe the wind has blown the stones off the fence, do you want to drink? Eat quickly, too, and I'll pack up and rest. ”
The chef walked back with a towel on his left shoulder and a mop in his right hand. He threw the mop at the water pipe, didn't close the door and walked back. Dong Qilang shouted in his heart:
"God help me. ”
Dong Qilang flashed into the kitchen, which was empty. Dong Qilang looked through the glass and saw three people in the hall outside, one of whom was Chef Jiang who had just come out, and he was mopping the floor.
The other two Dong Qilang didn't know each other, but seeing that both of them were dressed like the two on the bridge, they should be the palace guards here. At this time, he couldn't help but remember, didn't the two people on the bridge say that there were two guards who came back from shifts?
The two sat opposite each other at a square table, one was a large man with his shirt open, and the other was thin and thin, with one foot resting on a bench beside him. Both of them had drunken red on their faces and were talking at the same time.
Dong Qilang saw that there was half a cooked roast chicken in the pot on the stove, and he was hungry for a long time, so he no longer paid attention to washing his hands, grabbed it gently, and hid behind the door while gnawing, listening to what the two were saying.
"Hey, Chef Jiang. ”
Another louder sentence "Hey, Chef Jiang." ”
"Call me, and you want wine?"
It may be that Chef Jiang didn't hear it at the beginning, but now he heard it, and asked if he wanted wine. "Didn't you see that our buddies came late? We got off work late, so we don't have to be on duty tonight. The wine is not satisfactory to the family? and half a bottle. You've had a lot easier these two days, haven't you?"
This is one of them asking Chef Jiang.
"The wine is good, hey, both, let me tell you, do you want to taste the half bottle that others drank in the first two days?......"
"Go, go, people drink the rest for us to drink, hey, Chef Jiang, what do you think of our brothers? We will eat the rest of what others eat?"
It was a person at the restaurant who interrupted Chef Jiang's words.
"If you don't drink it, forget it, it's specially prepared by the Hundred Flowers Fairy for a special person, you don't drink it, keep it for me to drink." ”
Chef Jiang said slowly. Maybe the two of them heard that this wine was left over from the special people, and they immediately became interested:
"Is that the special guest? What kind of wine did he drink? Hey, Chef Jiang, let's try it." We all take two sips and see what kind of fancy liquor these special people are drinking. ”
I heard footsteps. After a while, someone smacked his lips and said:
"It's really good wine. Chef Jiang, what kind of wine are you, and why did you tear up the brand? Come on, come on, and fill it up again. Yours is also full. ”
"There were three sections of this wine, but when it arrived, the packaging and brand were torn, and I don't know what kind of wine it was. I haven't drunk it either, it was when you drank today that I remembered that the special person still had unfinished wine, and the monkey surnamed Zhou who didn't open it really did it and pulled it all away. This half bottle was confiscated. I'll taste it too. ”
After a few seconds, Chef Jiang tasted it and said:
"It's delicious, it's a good wine. Come on, come on, we'll divide it. ”
"Chef Jiang, the kid surnamed Zhou, they're all gone, I haven't seen him for two or three days. I didn't see those sneaky guys either. The kid surnamed Zhou still needs my money, fuck, this kid is not upright, he ran away like this, where am I going to find him. ”
"It's all gone. You must not tell anyone about this. Otherwise we'll all die. Drink your wine. After drinking, don't talk nonsense here. ”
This is Chef Jiang's voice. The other two were also talking, but Dong Qilang couldn't tell who was who. But one man's voice was heard, and the voice of one was thin.
