Chapter 21 Coming to Tanguo

As soon as the three of them ended the conversation, Ji Xiaoguang hurriedly ran out to chase Drifting Ling'er.

"Ling'er, wait for me. Ji Xiaoguang shouted from behind, and Ling'er turned around and stopped. She knew that Ji Xiaoguang would be endless if she didn't ask clearly.

"Ji Xiaoguang, is there something wrong with you?" asked Ling'er.

"How could it be, you know. ”

"Oh, do you want to ask why I'm here?"

"yes, why are you here?"

Originally. At the beginning, after Drifting Ling'er was tied up in the cottage and tried to escape, she was worried about Ji Xiaoguang's safety, so she rushed back to the Drifting Hall to find Ji Xiaoguang as soon as possible, but before she could go in, she heard the news about Ji Xiaoguang. Some said that he was caught, some said that he was killed after being caught, and some went to Ling'er after escaping. In short, there are various theories, where will Ji Xiaoguang be if he is not in the Drifting Illusion Palace, she thinks the biggest possibility is that he went to find herself. In order to avoid looking for each other and playing hide and seek, she decides to go to their mutual friends, Piao Shaohai and Shanshan. However, she did not have the means to enter the palace herself, but she happened to hear that a prince in the palace wanted to choose a palace maid as an assistant, so she went there herself. Through various responses, they finally passed their test and successfully entered the palace. She remembered that Shanshan had said that the palace was in crisis, and that one mistake could lead to life-threatening deaths. Therefore, she is very careful at every step, she needs to stabilize in this palace first, and then take the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of Nangong Shan and them.

It's just that she doesn't understand why Ji Xiaoguang is here.

She asked Ji Xiaoguang, "Why are you here?"

"I'm also here to find Shanshan and them, there is nowhere to go, I can't stay in the Drifting Illusion Palace, where can I go except to go back to my hometown?" Ji Xiaoguang replied.

"Oh."

"Aren't you surprised to see me?"

"A little. Ling'er said.

"Is it just a little bit? What concerns do you have when you see me pretending not to know me?" Hikari continued.

"It's not that you don't know the danger in the palace, we both have unknown origins, and we don't know how to die if we are not careful. ”

"Oh...... But why are you doing things for Princess Yang?" Ji Xiaoguang asked her.

"I didn't know, I didn't know who I was doing for before I came in, and I was sent here after passing the test. ”

"Then what do you think of Princess Yang?"

"I just know that you can't look at people at the surface, and you can't trust anyone completely. Including you and me. What you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth. Drifting Linger replied very calmly.

"You're a little different. Ji Xiaoguang replied. Drifting Linger left without saying goodbye to him.

In the distance, a figure flashed out and retreated.

Three days later, Piao Ling'er and Ji Xiaoguang were sent by Nangong Yang to the neighboring country to deliver information. They carried Princess Yang's letter and walked on the way to Tanguo, and they always felt that someone was following them along the way, but when they turned around, they didn't see anything. They realize that things may not be going well, so they need to be extra cautious. When they came to Tan Guo, they first found an inn and made sure that there was nothing unusual about the inn before deciding to rest. Since there may be people following you, you must not rashly expose the purpose of this trip, you must first familiarize yourself with the general situation of Tan Guo, and then consider whether to enter the palace to find Tan Fei.

Ji Xiaoguang and Piao Ling'er were arranged in two adjacent guest rooms, and he walked around the guest rooms without sleeping. He was worried that something might happen during the night, so he didn't dare to be careless. He had to do his best to keep things going smoothly and keep Drifter safe.

Three watches at night. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the window, Ji Xiaoguang stood outside the door and observed, and there was probably more than one person. Who could these people be? Ji Xiaoguang analyzed in his heart, are they from the Prime Minister's Mansion? People from the country? Or is it Princess Yang? If the first two are still excusable, then if it is someone sent by Princess Yang, how can she explain it? Is it because she doesn't believe Ji Xiaoguang and Ling'er, or does she just want to make sure that things are foolproof and secretly help them when they miss?

But until Ji Xiaoguang stood until dawn, those people did not take further action.

When everyone was about to get up, several people disappeared without a trace.Ji Xiaoguang was worried about the situation next door, so he hurriedly rushed over and knocked on the door of the guest room urgently, and waited for a long time, seeing that no one responded, he simply kicked the door in. As soon as he entered, he called Ling'er's name loudly, but no one responded, and there was no one on the bed.

He hurriedly went downstairs to look for it, but still didn't find it. He went to inquire with the innkeeper, who said he didn't know and hadn't seen her go out. This made Ji Xiaoguang feel strange, obviously he had been guarding all night, and there was almost no movement throughout the night, how did Ling'er leave? From the window, was it taken away?

Or do you say goodbye without saying goodbye?

If someone takes it captive, it will definitely be seen by yourself or the people at the inn.

If she didn't say goodbye, then why? She didn't even believe herself?

He recounted the story, and several figures walked around their room door last night, but they didn't push or pry the door open, and they didn't hear it open or close. In the morning, she didn't know where to go, the bed was neatly packed, and the luggage was not there.

Could it be that Drifting Ling'er didn't fall asleep at all last night, but how did she disappear in front of her eyes? Ji Xiaoguang was puzzled. The errand has not started before he encountered this trouble, and the letter is not in his hands, if Ling'er has any accidents, how can he go back to Princess Xiangyang to pay the errand. Ji Xiaoguang looked frustrated, feeling that he was really a failure, he couldn't protect anyone, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't learn well after coming out for so long.

He kept denying himself in his heart at this time, maybe he was tired from standing all night, and he fell asleep after a while.

When Ji Xiaoguang woke up the next day, he found a letter at the head of the bed, and he opened it to read: "Go back to the country quickly, don't stay!" How did a letter without a head and end be sent to him? Who knows so much about his whereabouts.

If this letter could reach him at this time, he must have known everything about what was going on here.

Thinking that everything about himself was being watched, Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but feel numb in his heart.

Now that Ling'er's whereabouts are unknown again, how can he retreat like a defeated soldier. No, leave this letter without a head and tail aside for the time being, and find a way to find Ling'er first. Without further ado, I went straight to the palace of Tanguo today, found the prince of Tanguo, told him the purpose of his trip and what happened, and asked him to help find the whereabouts of Piao Ling'er.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

A woman plays in the tub, sometimes stroking her skin, sometimes pouring water on herself. Ji Xiaoguang sneaked into the palace, he was not familiar with the place, and felt that this place was very luxurious, not the prince but also the prince, so he hid in it first.

"Stop, stop. I could only hear someone shouting outside. It may be that there are thieves in the palace. Who is the strange man in front of you?

"Princess," the last general was ordered to search for thieves here, and if he saw and heard that the thieves had broken into the princess's palace, could he enter the search. Outside, there were palace guards asking to enter the public dormitory and shouting.

"Presumptuous, what kind of place should you think of this Pei Xuan Palace, how can there be any thieves in this palace, go elsewhere. The woman taking the bath loudly reprimanded the guards outside.

"Princess, don't embarrass your subordinates, just because someone saw a thief break into the princess's bedroom, and in order to protect the princess's safety, her subordinates had to go in and search for her. Responsibility, please don't embarrass your subordinates. "The guards are unrelenting.

"You are so presumptuous, then come in and bring it in, if nothing is discovered, this palace will definitely report the sins of the emperor, Zhi'er and others. ”

"Get out of here," said the princess, who saw that nothing had been found in the people, and was furious. Suddenly, she felt the water level in the tub rise, and she screamed loudly in fright.

At this moment, a hand reached out from under the water and gagged the princess's mouth, so that she would not alarm the departing guards again, and the woman almost fainted at the sight of it.

This person was Ji Xiaoguang, and he didn't know when he jumped into the bathtub to avoid the guards who were searching for him.

It's so cool, it's all gone.

Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but be proud at the moment and crawled out of the bathtub.

Suddenly, there was a 'bang', his head was hit hard, he looked up, the woman walked out of the bathtub, held a hammer in her hand and knocked Ji Xiaoguang's head hard, seeing that Ji Xiaoguang did not react, he gave him another blow, Ji Xiaoguang fell over, unconscious.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in bed with a lot of straps around his body. It was the woman sitting in front of the bed, and it seemed that she had been waiting for Ji Xiaoguang to wake up.

"Hey, you're awake. The woman greeted, her expression smug.

"What are you doing here? Why are you tying me up? Seeing this, Ji Xiaoguang was very helpless.

"You deserve to peek at Princess Ben. The woman said confidently.

"This eldest sister, I don't have it. Ji Xiaoguang replied aggrievedly, his expression looking innocent.

"What eldest sister, am I so old?" The woman heard Ji Xiaoguang call her eldest sister, and she was angry.

"Well, what are you going to call you for, it looks like you're getting older than me. ”

"This princess told you that peeking at this princess will not only gouge out her eyes, but also put her to death. The woman shouted angrily.

"It doesn't have to be so serious, I just happened to be passing by. Ji Xiaoguang defended.

"Passing by, you don't have to quibble, can you pass by to the palace? You can also pass by the bathtub of this princess, and this princess has shown you all the light. If you don't die, you can't give an account to the heavens. ”

"Do you want to explain to the sky? What a big thing, isn't it just a glance, but nothing is done. ”

"What else do you want to do, you bastard. "Her feminine teeth are itching, and she looks like she wants to eat people.

"I really want to die, I can't die, can I wait and die. Ji Xiaoguang called for help.

"What are you going to do?"

"I still have work to do. Ji Xiaoguang replied.

"I'm still looking for my wife, and I haven't found it yet, how can I just die. Can you wait until I find her? ”

"How did you find your wife in the bathtub of this princess? ”

"Princess, be reasonable, you haven't seen anything below. It's an emergency, I'm just trying to save my life. Scared half to death, how can you appreciate the princess. ”

"You really didn't see it?" the woman asked.

Ji Xiaoguang saw that she was so easy to deceive, and she didn't deceive for nothing.

"Of course I didn't see anything, I didn't know there was anyone in the tub, and I didn't know if there was a man or a woman sitting inside," he said. ”

"Then how did you break into the residence of the main palace, and why did the people outside search for you?"

"I just came to the palace to find my wife, but the people in the palace are not familiar with the place, so it is inevitable to go the wrong way, and those people outside are completely unreasonable. If you see someone, you will be arrested, and I will ask the princess, what kind of law have I committed?"

"I don't know what kind of law you have committed, I only know that this palace can't be entered casually, you said that you came to find a wife, so why did you get married at such a young age. And how did your wife enter this palace without being discovered?" Ji Xiaoguang saw that this person's thinking was so clear, and he suspected that the previous topic was simply pretending.

"I don't know, I also heard from the villagers. So I went into the palace and tried it. I accidentally saw the princess there......" Ji Xiaoguang almost said it, and quickly stopped, but it was too late.

"Wow, you are a perverted embryo, sure enough, this princess suffered this catastrophe today, and you have to be responsible. You've seen this princess, and you're going to marry me. As soon as the princess's words changed, Ji Xiaoguang thought that she was going to be angry with him.

"How can it be so good to marry you, oh no, how can there be such a strange reason. Is this a punishment?" Ji Xiaoguang thought to himself, this hair is big, it's so cool to pick up a princess for nothing.

"If not, there's another option. The princess added.

"What choice?" asked Ji Xiaoguang.

"Even if I report this matter to the emperor, he will punish you with the death penalty. ”

"Report to the emperor?

"Ah, then I will ask the emperor to punish you for your crimes, and don't talk about it. ”

"If you don't say this, how will you cure my sins? Ji Xiaoguang asked rhetorically.

"Let's just say that it is a capital offense to say that you trespass in the palace. ”

"But I came to my wife, and there is no evidence, how to punish me. ”

"Where's your wife?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm looking for her. ”

The princess didn't speak anymore, just sat next to her and said nothing quietly, Ji Xiaoguang felt a little guilty when she saw this.

This woman looks like she is about seventeen years old on the surface, like a flower in this palace, and at a glance you know that she has never seen any of the world.

Fortunately, he is not a bad person, and if he really encounters a bad person breaking in, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Thinking about it like this, Ji Xiaoguang couldn't help but sympathize with this woman. He said to her, "Princess, I am not a bad person, let me go." ”

The princess ignored it and continued to sit.

"Princess?" Ji Xiaoguang suddenly shouted loudly, startling the princess.

"You're going to scare people to death. ”

"You let me go, I'm really not a bad person, how can a bad person have time to chat with you. ”

"You have to promise me one thing, and I will let you go. The princess said.

"What's the matter?.

"Can you talk to me, suffocated in this hellish place. ”

"Very gratifying. ”

"How do you promise not to go back?"

"Pull Hook"

"Okay. ”

"Pull hook, don't cheat if you hang yourself for a hundred years. ”
