Chapter 443: Eight Golden Locks
It was the middle of spring, and the plants and trees in the imperial garden were thriving.
The majestic Helan Mountain blocks the desert wind and sand from the northwest, and the Yellow River moistens this fertile land.
Under the dissolution of the moonlight, Bai Sheng walked through the garden with Xiao Feng's soft wattle, but not to enjoy this wonderful night scene.
The two of them were discussing the various possibilities that would arise when they investigated the Qingfeng Pavilion, and set various countermeasures in advance.
Qingfeng Pavilion is in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden, hidden in the forest pine and cypress.
The word pavilion has a variety of meanings, but just look at this Qingfeng Pavilion is not a building, you know that the pavilion of Qingfeng Pavilion refers to the boudoir of an unmarried woman, so people call a woman's marriage out of the pavilion.
However, when Bai Sheng and Xiao Feng approached along the pine and cypress trees, they heard the sound of a man's conversation coming from the Qingfeng Pavilion, which was very different from the concept of "boudoir".
There was a man in the pavilion complaining in Tangut language: "I said I didn't hide Yong, why are you always so sad? Can't you talk to everyone? I still have to stay up in the middle of the night......
The other man replied angrily: "Talk nonsense, I should have slept tonight, but the princess brought back a Song man, otherwise I would be on duty with you all night?"
As soon as he said this, a burst of laughter broke out in the cabinet, and it sounded like there were as many as seven or eight people, all of whom were men without exception.
In the laughter, someone ridiculed: "This is your own life, can you blame us?"
"I just don't know how the work of this new Song man is, if the work is good, then it's not that Zangyong is unlucky, and if it's not good, we have to rest for a few days. ”
"Yes, catch a fresh one, you can't fill the mouth under her in one night, not to mention that tonight is less than one night......"
......
After listening to a dialogue, it can already be judged that these men are Li Ruolan's faces, and the other duty of these faces is to defend Qingfeng Pavilion from being invaded by foreign enemies.
Xiao Feng was stunned for a while, she really couldn't understand Li Ruolan's absurdity, and then translated these Tangut languages by Bai Sheng's ear, Bai Sheng suddenly lost his desire for Li Ruolan, this is also too erosive, not as good as those Ma Kui.
It's just that when he lost his sexual interest in Li Ruolan, a question arose. That is, from the unscrupulousness of these face-to-face conversations, it can be inferred that Li Ruolan may not be in this Qingfeng Pavilion.
Because on the surface, the area of Qingfeng Pavilion is not large, far inferior to Yelu Nanxian's dormitory, he can't believe it no matter what, these faces dare to talk about this kind of thing next to Li Ruolan and Zhao Kai.
"What should I do?" Xiao Feng asked Bai Sheng to take an idea.
"Kill someone, leave a torture. Bai Sheng made a decision in an instant.
Since these noodle heads knew that Li Ruolan had put Zhao Kai on the bed, they must have known where Li Ruolan was, whether they were in this Qingfeng Pavilion or not.
If Li Ruolan is inhabited outside the Qingfeng Pavilion, let the prisoner lead the way, if it is inside the Qingfeng Pavilion, then there must be a facility such as a secret passage in the pavilion, and the prisoner should also know how to enter.
It's okay to kill someone, but how to kill is a problem, and you have to think twice before you can act.
Because the defense of this Qingfeng Pavilion seems to be too simple, its doors and windows are only luxurious and not solid, if you want to rush in, it is not too easy, but is the defense here really so lax?
Xiao Feng was not an amateur in assassination, she felt that since Li Ruolan dared to let these eight people stay in the Qingfeng Pavilion while she was far away from here, at least one thing could be explained, that is, Li Ruolan was not worried that these eight people would be killed by that thief.
Listening to the voices speaking, you can hear that the martial arts of these eight people are not too high, and in the laughter and ridicule, there is neither the strong and condensed middle qi of the supreme master, nor the powerful aura of the peerless master.
So what will these eight people rely on?
Bai Sheng felt that it might be similar to the formation of the brothers of Ba Xijing Ming, while Xiao Feng thought that there might be traps in this room, in short, this kind of seemingly almost undefended location would never be as simple as it seemed.
It's just that whether it's a formation or a trap, it's not the best strategy to rush into and kill someone.
The two discussed it and came up with a solution.
Creeping to the root of the outer wall close to the window and sticking to the window, Bai Sheng grabbed Xiao Feng's neck.
Xiao Feng shouted in Xixia with difficulty: "Catch the thief, the thief has entered the imperial garden, don't you ......" Before he finished shouting, he was covered by Bai Sheng.
In other words, if you close your eyes and listen to this performance, there is a female guard who was hijacked by thieves in front of Qingfeng Pavilion, and she wanted to give a warning but was choked by the neck, so the sound was very weak, so weak that only people near Qingfeng Pavilion could hear it.
Bai Sheng let go of Xiao Feng's mouth, and fell straight to the ground, making a "bang" sound, which was to make the people in the room think that the female guard had been killed by the thieves.
He was reluctant to let Xiao Feng do this job, firstly, because he was worried that he would break the child, and secondly, because he didn't want to dirty her clothes.
Of course, the eight people in the room heard the voice outside the window, and one of them said, "This thief has really touched it, everyone take their seats." At the same time, the candle in the house was extinguished.
It didn't sound like the man was nervous at all, and the remaining seven didn't even speak, and then they only heard a sound of feet in the room, as if the eight of them had all walked a few steps more or less, and then became quiet, as if the things outside had nothing to do with them.
Bai Sheng and Xiao Feng already understood when they heard the word "in place" that the eight people in the room should have formed some kind of formation, but they couldn't help but admire their calmness, didn't they come out to take a look?
As the eight people in the room stopped talking, the heaven and earth suddenly became silent, and there was no chirping of summer insects and no autumn insects in spring.
Bai Sheng tiptoed to another window where there was no moonlight, and clicked through the window paper to look in, the darkness in the room did not prevent him from seeing the scenery clearly, only to see that there was a cave in the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion is a hall that is very disproportionate to the appearance of the house, the hall is rectangular in shape, its length far exceeds the external view, and the depth of the hall has no windows, only near the door, and it is conceivable that this hall must have extended into the belly of the mountain.
The hall is covered with a thick wool carpet on the ground, and the tea tables are arranged in rows, and in the space near the pavilion door and window, there are eight bronze statues standing against the wall.
It's not a bronze statue! It's an empty shell of a bronze statue. Bai Sheng could see clearly that the three bronze statues facing him were clearly wrapped in three Western Xia men in their twenties.
Seeing this scene, he quickly simulated in his mind a picture of ordinary people attacking Qingfeng Pavilion, these eight bronze statues are obviously eight sets of protective gear, which can protect eight people from the attack of swords and hidden weapons, and once the attacker enters the hall, it is equivalent to falling into the encirclement of eight copper shells.
He couldn't think of it, so he asked Xiao Feng to come over and snoop, Xiao Feng got close to the window paper and changed his face after just looking at it, put his lips on Bai Sheng's auricle and said softly: "This is the Eight Golden Locks!"
