Fortunately, this palace is very large, and the night is dark, with the blind eye of the officers and soldiers, or hiding behind the rockery, or hiding on the side of the tree, slowly groping forward. She was very unfamiliar with the road of the palace, and she only remembered the name of the "Lake Palace", and remembered that Dolgon once mentioned that it was a side hall built on the edge of the lake. I thought to myself, "Walking along the lake, you can always find some clues." When he had gone far away, he suddenly saw some light shining in a room, and he hurriedly approached and gently pierced the window paper.

There is a lamp in the hall like a bean, and the light is very dim. In the middle, there was also a few cases, and Dolgon and a young man in a yellow robe sat on both sides, as if they were discussing important matters, but the voices of the two were very low, but they couldn't really hear it. Chu Menglin stayed for a while, and was about to leave, when the young man suddenly stood up, clapped his hands and laughed: "Wonderful! Uncle Huang is really clever, in this way, my army can drive straight in, like a bamboo, and go straight to Tongguan! I should go back to the palace to show all the Qing families, and I will be rewarded with you!"

Dolgon smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this king is just doing some things, how dare he take credit in vain?" Chu Menglin said in his heart: "It turns out that he is the current prince, well, he is the son of Huang Taiji, and he is very young." ”

I also heard the prince say: "Why should the emperor be too humble? You have fought for our dynasty in all directions, and you have made countless achievements, which are obvious to all, and the emperor also appreciated you very well during his lifetime. When Tongguan is captured and the remnants of the king are wiped out, the situation in the Central Plains will be initially stabilized, and his nephew will officially ascend the throne one day. Dolgon smiled and said: "With my shallow knowledge, I am not worthy of being ugly in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, how can I restrain the word 'pointing'? At most, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dealing with the government, I just briefly mention some humble opinions from the side." ”

The prince smiled and said, "Let's follow the emperor's uncle!" Late at night, but there are rudenesses, and the little nephew will retire." Dorgon said, "Wait for the king to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The prince waved his hand and said, "No need, the imperial uncle should go to bed early, and the little nephew's carriage and horse are not far from the mansion......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of "ding ding dong dong" Yaoqin nearby, which was suddenly tactful and melodious, suddenly high-pitched and poignant, suddenly like a stream flowing lightly, and suddenly like the roar of the sea. Although the three of them are not very proficient in the rhythm of music, they can also hear that there is a great sadness hidden in this song, and it seems that the person who plays it has thousands of grievances in his heart to complain. Chu Menglin saw that there was a big tree next to the hall, the branches stretched horizontally, and it was extremely luxuriant, so she jumped up gently, stretched out her feet on the body of the tree, and took advantage of the strength to go up to the roof. Ran back to the edge of the house, jumped up the tree, and crouched between the canopies.

This time the field of vision suddenly opened, and I saw a lake nearby, and there was a pavilion in the lake, and a girl in a pink shirt could be vaguely seen sitting in it and stroking the piano. A few more soft sounds sounded, and suddenly turned high, and when it reached the extreme, the strings broke with a "dang". The girl sighed lightly, picked up the long qin and went out of the pavilion, vaguely Shen Shiyun. She was sleeping in the hall in the middle of the lake, and woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden nightmare, and recalled the life of the brocade clothes and jade food in the Shadowless Villa, and now she only feels like a different world, and the sadness comes from it, and she sees a guqin in the room, so she gets up in her clothes and brings the piano to the pavilion to play. At this time, Dolgon and the prince had also left the palace, and Shen Shiyun didn't expect anyone to have a low cry of "ah".

The prince first heard that her piano skills were excellent, and now seeing her appearance, she was also born beautiful, and she had developed a heart of admiration, and praised loudly: "I played well, such a beautiful piano sound, I heard it for the first time, it was really a great pleasure in my life." Those maids and servants in the palace, but which one can match it!"

Shen Shiyun was just terrified in his heart, and said, "See the prince...... The little girl disturbed the peace of the prince and the distinguished guests, and she deserved death if she was really guilty...... "The prince said: "What is a nuisance? I was very tired of discussing important matters with the imperial uncle, and when I heard the sound of heaven played by the girl, I felt indescribable pleasure, "Imperial uncle, do you say?" Dolgon hurriedly replied, "Indeed, fatigue is exhausted. ”

The prince smiled and said, "What, can you ask the girl to play and sing again?" Shen Shiyun said: "The little girl's piano skills are low, and she has not polluted the ears of the prince and the son." Dolgon persuaded: "Miss Shen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks you to play, you can play! The prince said, "Yes, if Miss Shen has any orders, just open your mouth." ”

Shen Shiyun said: "It turns out that you are His Royal Highness the Prince...... The little girl was rude before, and she was able to play a song for His Royal Highness, making you smile, it is already my third life's luck, but I dare not ask for anything else. The prince said, "Okay, are you willing to play?" Shen Shiyun bowed and said, "Yes." He returned to the pavilion with the piano, and his jade fingers gently plucked the strings, but he sang Wen Tingyun's "More Leaks" in the Tang Dynasty:

"The jade furnace incense, the red candle tears, the bias is based on the autumn thoughts of the painting hall. The eyebrows are thin, the temples are cloudy, and the night is cold. Sycamore trees, three more rain, not to leave the love is bitter. A leaf, a sound, the empty steps drip to the light. ”

The prince whispered to Dolgon: "Uncle Huang, this Shen girl plays the piano well, sings well, and has a very beautiful appearance, where did you find such a strange woman with both talents and talents?" The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Temporary residence?" Shen Shiyun held the qin, walked slowly to the two of them, and said: "The little girl has poor piano skills, teach His Royal Highness the prince to laugh with the prince." ”

The prince said with a straight face: "Who dares to laugh at you? If you want to say that your piano skills are also clumsy, no one in the world is qualified to touch the piano anymore! Miss Shen, are you willing to go back to the palace with me? When I ascend the throne, I will make you a concubine, and there are many precious pianos in my palace for you to play. Xiang Dorgon smiled and said, "My nephew didn't say that the piano in the Emperor's Mansion was not good. Dorgon laughed, "It's been a few years since it was useless." ”

Shen Shiyun exclaimed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this ...... How can this make the people of low origin...... Not worthy of being your concubine......" Dolgon smiled and said: "Miss Shen, you will enter the palace with His Royal Highness the Prince, and from then on you will enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”

Shen Shiyun hesitated, and an unprecedented thought suddenly flashed in his heart: "Since he is the future emperor, I am alone and alone, and there is no hope of revenge for the Shadow Sacrifice Sect." If a good opportunity is given today, it should fall on him. If I can please him, and make him willing to help me take revenge, with those demons who have the ability to reach the sky, they can't defeat thousands of troops. The prince saw that her face was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This matter still has to be according to Miss Shen's wishes, if she insists on unwillingness, I will not force it." ”

Shen Shiyun shook his head, deliberately pretended to be shy, his face was flushed, and he said softly: "No, it is a blessing that the little girl has cultivated in her previous life. The prince has already agreed, how can the little girl not want to?" The prince was overjoyed, shook her hand, and shouted, "Miss Shen!" Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the prince calls me 'Yun'er'." The prince said, "Yes, yes, Yun'er." ”

Dolgon said: "It's getting late, His Royal Highness the Prince, please go back to the palace first, and the king of tomorrow will send someone to escort Miss Shen." The prince said, "No, I'll take Yun'er back now." I can't bear to see her all night. ”

Shen Shiyun lowered his head slightly, and his face was infinitely shy. Seeing that her clothes were thin, the prince hurriedly took off the yellow robe on his body, draped it on her and said, "The wind is cold at night, don't get cold." Shen Shiyun said: "By all means, His Royal Highness the Prince's daughter's body......" The prince smiled: "You care about me, don't you? My body is not so weak, I just hope that when you are warm, I will be more comfortable than baking the stove." This thoughtfulness is especially worse than Li Yijie and Tang Yuanyuan.

Chu Menglin hid in the tree, seeing that the prince was helping Shen Shiyun to go far away, but Dolgon always stood silently, it was difficult to know when Fang Fang would leave, and he was anxious, and suddenly heard him say loudly: "Which one entered the palace at night, I don't know what to see?"

Looking at the direction he was looking at, it was actually where he was hiding, Chu Menglin didn't dare to answer, and after a while, Dolgon said again: "If you don't want to say it, you think it's ill-intentioned." As soon as the words fell, she didn't even say hello, and suddenly burst out of her palm, Chu Menglin only felt a great pressure hit, her breath was suffocated, her lungs seemed to be squeezed, and she almost wanted to vomit blood. Another burst of external strength came from the side, dissolving Dolgon's palm power in an instant, and a person jumped from a big tree nearby, and bowed his hand to Dolgon: "The prince has good ears. "But it's Jiang Yanchen.

Dolgon was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does Gongzi Jiang still have companions here?"

Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "Although your palace is heavily guarded, I am still in the empty city, I can come when I want, what kind of companion do I want? These words were extremely rude, but Dolgon was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, Jiang Gongzi, please ask." He had clearly heard the sound of someone breathing very low in the treetops of the east tree, but Jiang Yanchen didn't know when he came, when he jumped down from the tree, the branches and leaves of the tree didn't move, Dolgon was cautious, he didn't know the strength of the other party, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Hearing Jiang Yanchen say: "When I mentioned the tears of the broken soul during the day, I felt that the prince's expression was different, and he clearly knew some inside information, but he didn't say it. I don't ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid it's just a pretense, but this statement is also full of loopholes, just imagine that you command thousands of armies, if you don't know anything about things in the martial arts, how can you seek the world? It's just that how much you know is difficult to understand for a while. ”

Dolgon smiled and said, "Jiang Gongzi is extremely smart, in a word, you might as well guess it." Jiang Yanchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to say it?" Dolgon smiled and said: "Why should Jiang Gongzi be angry? Yes, it is said that the Broken Soul Tear is the treasure of the martial arts, but it is just a bait, a bait that leads people and mussels in the martial arts to fight." It's really a tear of breaking the soul, to put it bluntly, it's really not worth mentioning, it's just a jade pendant given to him by Prince Heshuozhuang when the king's brother Duoduo, the king of Duoluoyu County, was just full moon. ”

Jiang Yanchen said in his heart: "Yes, on the top of Wudang Mountain that day, the head of the Linkong Dao also said that the Broken Soul Tears were passed down by Prince Heshuozhuang. It's just that the king of Duoluoyu County is the fifteenth son of the Qing Taizu, and when it comes to seniority, he is his nephew, and it is natural to give gifts, so why is his heart full of grief and indignation? If he is really reluctant, why should he give it away? It seems to contain a great hidden feeling, but it is incomprehensible. ”

Chu Menglin listened to Dolgon's own revelation of this shocking lie, and couldn't help leaning forward, wanting to listen more carefully. But he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were like torches, shooting straight to his hiding place, and he stepped forward again. Shocked in his heart, he hurriedly pulled over the branches to cover it, and the leaves rustled from the shock, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Jiang Yanchen suddenly said: "What conditions do you want?" Dolgon Huo Ran stopped, obviously compared to the invasion of foreign enemies, this statement is more important to himself, and turned around and said: "Jiang Gongzi is really refreshing, this king's original intention has not changed, and he still sincerely invites Your Excellency to help." ”

Jiang Yanchen didn't answer, Dolgon smiled slightly, paced slowly, and said, "I want to talk to you in more detail, but it's okay." Shen Aotian, the owner of the Shadowless Mountain Villa, is just like you, a talent that is rarely appreciated by me, and this king has talked to him about this matter, hoping that he can put the great cause first and help me. Unexpectedly, he didn't know what to do, and insisted on not obeying, and when the king was angry, he spread the news on the rivers and lakes, saying that the tears of the broken soul were in his villa, so that if I didn't do it myself, someone would teach him a lesson, and sure enough, as I wished. It's just that the Shadow Sacrifice Sect will be wiped out as soon as it makes a move, and although the poison of the means is beyond the original calculation, it is after all a breath of evil breath in the chest for this king. ”

He said a surprising speech tonight, Rao is Jiang Yanchen has always been calm, but he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and he couldn't take precautions, Dolgon was already in shape, and jumped straight up the tree. Hearing only a miserable scream, Chu Menglin fell from the tree and fell to the ground, holding down her shoulder with one hand, and blood seeped slightly between her fingers.

Dolgon sneered: "How, Gongzi Jiang, this little girl hides in a tree some times, with your skills, it is impossible to listen to it. But he only did not realize it, and tried his best to divert the attention of this king, so he wanted to protect each other, but why?" Chu Menglin shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have come to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, what does it have to do with him?"

Chu Menglin said hatefully: "That Shen Shiyun is the remnant of the Shadowless Villa, she has deceived us all the way, and now she is full of desire to seek revenge from me, how can she stay in this world? He tore off his shirt and wrapped his wound at will, struggled to stand up, glared at Dolgon, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, and said: "I only know at this time that everything is planned by you, killing people with knives, setting a trap to lure us into the game, and I am so tired that I will teach you to be deceived and be your tool." ”

Dolgon said coldly: "Listening to your tone, you two are important figures in the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, and the destruction of the Shadowless Mountain Villa was also done by you?" Chu Menglin said: "Yes, so what? You are capable of coercion and temptation, are we still afraid of you? Once is already a great shame, and will never be used by you again." ”

Dolgon laughed loudly and said, "It's a shame that you claim to dominate the rivers and lakes, and you are not like others, being played by this king. The loss of Shadowless Villa spread out, and the reputation of your sect must not be good. Besides, when Shen Shiyun entered the palace to be the imperial concubine, how could he easily rest with you? This king can take advantage of his identity and power to secretly take care of her for you and get rid of this trouble. After the deed is completed, this king should also offer the soul tears with both hands, if the leader of your sect wants this thing, you can give it to him, whether it is a treasure or not, then it is no wonder to you. The two of you can figure out the gains and losses, right?"

Jiang Yanchen was silent for a long time, Fang raised his gaze to look at him, and said lightly: "Okay, just according to what you say." ”
