Chapter 72: Missing
The sorrow and crying are covered, and the night is cold.
The king is above his father, the dynasty lost the emperor, and the people of the capital mourned all night.
But for Zhu Congzhi, Taiwu is just his grandfather, and his father is still more important than his grandfather, especially when his grandfather is dead.
He was so worried that he didn't sleep all the time, and he went to the two mothers to inquire for a while, and then to Zhang San and Xu Jianglou.
Zhang San was already sleepy, but in the case of sleepless people, it was not easy to sleep, but fortunately, Xu Jianglou was still there to talk to him.
Xu Jianglou and Zhang San talked about the look of Miss Zhuge helping her fiancΓ© enter the city during the day, and Zhang San couldn't help but be a little stunned, when would he have such a lady, the same person, there is still a difference.
Regarding the loss of scriptures by the Tianzhu Mission, Zhang San knocked on the side and inquired with Xu Jianglou, but there is no news for the time being.
In the second half of the night, when Zhang San's eyelids were fighting, there was a commotion in the house, and the prince had returned! This was great news in the state funeral.
After a while, Zhu Congzhi came in with a grim expression, and the prince came back, but gave an order, "Don't ask the reason, you can't delay it for a moment when you leave Beijing at dawn." β
"Brother Xian, my father just mentioned you, are you willing to be a guest in my mansion? Zhu Congzhi looked at Zhang San with burning eyes.
Zhang Sanleng paused, "Qingke staff?"
Nowadays, there are Xixi seats in the nobles' mansions, most of them are people who make suggestions, they are called Qing Ke, they are not enough to be Qing Ke, the powerful also ask the staff to help, and the staff is divided into civil and military affairs, and the literary staff has a bad reputation among the scholars in the literary world, and the Wu staff is also despised by the heroes in the rivers and lakes, to put it bluntly, it is a dog who cares for the house.
Xu Jianglou naturally knew this, and got up to help persuade me: "You call me sister on weekdays, and my sister will also say a few words, don't be like ordinary people, and you will change color when you hear the word staff." Since you have learned literature and martial arts, sold in the emperor's house, mixed rice in the rivers and lakes, and licking blood with a knife is not a long-term solution, the old prince of our palace is a corporal, and you also know it from the young master, you have always been a brother when you are a brother, and this pilgrimage is also a strong support, and you follow the prince a hundred times better than outside. β
To say that Zhu Congzhi, except for the last time he betrayed him, he was a little troubled at that time, the rest were good to him, and he was also extremely attentive to his affairs, including Xu Jianglou, who was also extremely friendly to him, but the matter of joining the palace as a staff member was never in his life plan, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, and he was a person who stole the door, and there were also rules to abide by the door.
"If Brother Xian agrees, I will do whatever it takes to rescue Senior Brother Ling from the prison. Zhu Congzhi threw out another heavy bet.
Zhang San couldn't sit still, so he also stood up and said, "Thank you for the love of the little prince and Sister Jianglou, the two of you also know my background, this matter must be consulted with the master before it can be done, I can't do it." β
"Okay, no problem, the Venerable Master can be in the capital?"
"Well, yes. β
"When we go out of the city at dawn, we will stop at Baoding Mansion, where I will wait for your news for a day. Zhu Congzhi's tone was eager, Zhang San was not good at refusing again, and it was also about the senior brother, whether the master could succeed or not was not certain, at this time it was a state of taking one step at a time.
"There's one more thing to trouble Brother Xian. Zhu Congzhi said again.
"Please. β
"Tomorrow morning, everyone in the mansion must be ordered to go out of the city, Miss Lu doesn't know the news yet, Brother Lao Xian is now trying to find a way to go out, communicate with her, let her also go out of the city and meet me, otherwise it will be the eyes of the factory guards at dawn, and you won't be able to leave." β
"Okay. "Walking in the dark is not a matter for Zhang San, but now he is uncomfortable in the palace.
"But the prince should write a letter, for I am afraid that word of mouth will make a mistake. Zhang San came to the door and said again, helping others to pass on love words, there is still a woman who has had a night of love, Zhang San finally felt a little awkward.
The courtyard of the deep house, although the courtyard wall is high, but it is also not as high as the city tower of the capital, Zhang San does not go to the main gate of the partial gate, jumps the west wall, there is the wind to help, even if someone looks at a shadow is in vain.
This house is not far from Lu Wan's house, Zhang San only took less than a cup of tea to get to the door, and it is not possible to knock on the door knocker in the middle of the night, at this moment of martial law in the whole city, maybe the officers and soldiers arrived first before Lu Wan came out.
It's still over the wall, but this time it didn't go straight to the boudoir, but knocked lightly on the door outside.
Lu Wan rarely had a good night's sleep today, her dry lotus grass chose to bloom on the day of Taiwu's funeral, I don't know if it is related, for Lu Wan, this is a great joy, on the surface, this is just her work for a few months, in fact, it is also related to her father's half of his life's hard work, as well as the hard work of several generations of doctors.
When she dreamed that her father was touching her head and laughing, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Wan, who woke up, almost had a murderous intent.
Who would knock on the door on this big night? Unbelievable, could it be that Zhu Congzhi came to find himself for a private meeting at night? This is the only possibility.
Lu Wan's face was hot, and the murderous intent retreated, she pulled a piece of clothing and put it on, covering her brocade-like body, got up and went down to the ground, and asked through the door, "Who?"
"It's me, Zhang San. Zhang San said softly and slowly, but it was shocking to Lu Wan.
"Why are you here?" Lu Wan couldn't help but tighten her clothes.
"I'll help Prince Zhu deliver a message, there is a book here. β
Lu Wan opened the door a crack, and Zhang San handed the peach blossom note written by Zhu Congzhi inside.
As soon as I touched the letter, I felt a light hand in my hand, Zhang San on the opposite side was gone, and Lu Wan closed the door, completely sleepy.
......
The moon and breeze were bright all the way, Zhang San didn't go back to the palace, and went to the inn where Wu Liang lived in the east of the city.
The knocking on the door of Wu Qing and Ye Mei woke him up in the early morning, and the two women came in together, saying that Wu Liang went out last night, and then he didn't return all night, and he was worried.
"How did the master get out? Did he go out by himself, or did someone pass on some code?"
Zhang San knew that the master was going to hand over the scriptures to someone, but he had not agreed on a time and place before.
"I don't know, he woke up last night and went downstairs for a walk, and when he came back, he told us he was going out, and then he didn't come back. Ye Mei said.
The senior brother was not rescued, the master was lost again, Zhang San also had a big head, if the master was good, he was not worried at all, Wu Liang's experience in the rivers and lakes was a hundred times that of him, but now the arrow wound has not healed, and there are many inconveniences to escape, so he has to take it seriously, and he has to find it immediately.
But in the vast capital, there is no clue at all, looking for someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, it is more difficult than saving Tian Boguang, in a hurry, Zhang San thought of Zhuge Mingyue, in the capital, this is a small snake.
