Chapter 601: God's Eye
Later, Jiang Shuimei called Shang Mingqin and took a few eunuchs and guards to visit the elephant master's illness.
When the elephant master was sick for a long time, this time he woke up after eating Gu Changhong's Wujin Dan, and it stands to reason that he should meet with the courtiers and take care of government affairs. The forces that were about to move in the royal city might have quieted down and wiped out a great change.
Unfortunately, this estimate is too optimistic and unrealistic. Wujin Dan is a very powerful pill that consumes essence and blood, although the Lord is about to end his life, if he doesn't take this medicine, he can always live for three or two months, and now although he is awake, it is at the cost of squeezing the essence and blood, but there are many people who don't know the reason for this.
Ming Qin changed into the black armor of the palace guards, and he couldn't see anything unusual when he rested in the crowd, the armor was naturally not as good as the Five Tiger Divine Armor, and the defense against the spirit gun was also very limited, which was somewhat ornamental.
The group came to the elephant lord's bedroom, but was blocked by the eunuch outside the door, Jiang Shuimei's face was slightly gloomy, and he sneered: "What?
"Don't get me wrong. ”
The old eunuch hurriedly laughed and said: "The king is not in good health, and he has just fallen asleep, and the mother goes in at this time, I am afraid that the king will be blamed." ”
"Then I'll wait for the king to wake up, and then go and say goodbye. ”
Jiang Shuimei is not a queen after all, and she has some scruples. She didn't want to return like this, there were many pavilions in the palace, all of which were usually familiar, and she turned around and went to the side hall to rest.
The old eunuch smiled bitterly, but he didn't dare to stop him after all, so he had to let her go.
Jiang Shuimei asked the guards to wait behind the door, pushed open the door of the temple and walked in. Ming Qin stood at the door and glanced into the house, only to see that the side hall was not large, very elegantly furnished, and the beds were complete, so that he could enjoy tea and pastime.
At this time, just after dawn, it was still early, Jiang Shuimei was sitting alone in the pavilion, the guards were guarding outside the door, of course Mingqin could not sneak into the pavilion to talk to Jiang Shuimei, but it was not interesting to stand guard, Mingqin patted the guards beside him, and whispered: "I'll go for convenience." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was Jiang Shuimei's relative, and hurriedly said, "Does Childe know where the toilet is?"
Mingqin shook his head and said, "Please point it to me." ”
"Follow this corridor all the way, there is a small gate in the back garden, that's it. ”
When the guards are on duty, they are generally not allowed to leave, but people have three urgency, and it is inevitable that there will be inconvenient times, this person's surname is Zhang, he is relatively old, he has been on an errand in the palace for many years, and he is very familiar with the roads everywhere.
"There is labor, there is labor. ”
Ming Qin originally just wanted to hang out casually, but the excuse had already been made up, and this Lao Zhang was so enthusiastic that he had to be perfunctory.
It was estimated that Jiang Shuimei would not need him for a while, so Ming Qin walked to the back garden according to Lao Zhang's instructions.
The palace occupies a wide area, the corridor waist is back, the eaves teeth are pecked high, it can be called magnificent, the flowers in the back garden are full of flowers, the purple and red, the scenery is very playful.
It was quiet everywhere, and there was not even a single figure. Lao Zhang said that it was easy to find a place, but what Ming Qin said was a retreat, and he had no intention of going in.
When he got closer, he faintly heard a whispering sound, Mingqin's heart moved slightly, and his figure swayed, hiding behind a flower tree. I saw an old man and a young eunuch tidying up their clothes and walking out from behind the small door, the old one was the father-in-law Zhang who had just blocked the car, but the small one was not very impressed.
"Father-in-law, Concubine Jiang refuses to go back, in case she finds out that the king is not in the palace, how can this be good?"
"The elephant lord is not in the dormitory?"
Ming Qin's spirits perked up, this news was really surprising, but I don't know where the elephant lord went, and Zhang Gonggong wanted to deliberately hide it from Jiang Shuimei.
Gonggong Zhang snorted lightly: "The king went to the thousand-foot building to arrest the assassin, if Concubine Jiang found it, wouldn't it be a startling snake, and then the assassin ran away, who can afford it?"
"Yes, yes. It's still the father-in-law who is thoughtful. The little eunuch nodded again and again.
"You must keep your mouth shut about this matter, and not a word of it will be leaked. If you tell the news away, I can ask you yes. ”
Father-in-law Zhang was intimidated, so frightened that the little eunuch was silent, and said continuously: "The little one doesn't dare." ”
The two of them gradually walked away as they spoke, and Ming Qin flashed out from behind the flower tree, Zhang Gonggong's words could not be trusted, it should be true that the Lord went to Qianqilou, but he must have an ulterior purpose to hide Jiang Shuimei. This person is a lot old, and his status by the elephant lord is not low, he is not afraid of offending Jiang Shuimei, and he must have other backers.
The guards on the Qianqilou side had already been withdrawn in the morning, and they wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, and then cut off the retreat, so as to capture Du Fangxi and Li Ruoxin.
Lu Decun is still in the hands of Mrs. Moyu, Du and Li are naturally unwilling to escape easily, it will take a while for this strategy to work, maybe the Lord can't wait, relying on the master to protect him, he is not afraid to risk his life, he himself is undoubtedly an excellent bait, in case the two women can't hold it back, and then go to assassinate, but they will fall into the trap.
Ming Qin didn't want to startle the snake, Jiang Shuimei didn't know that the elephant lord was not in the dormitory, so he could only wait patiently in the side hall, these thoughts were all speculation, and he had to find out the truth himself.
Thinking of this, Ming Qin conjured up the golden wings of the phoenix, swept into the air, and the thousand-foot building stood upright, very good, his speed was fast, and he came to the outside of the building in an instant.
The Imperial Forest Army around the thousand-foot building has been withdrawn, only a team of soldiers and horses who originally supervised the construction of this building are guarding outside, Ming Qin observed around the tall building, and found that the building on the top of the building is scattered, with great meaning, there is a silver cauldron embedded in the middle, there are ten zhang square, half of the roof is covered, the material is not gold or iron, a brilliant light, it seems to be some mysterious magic circle.
Ming Qin retracted his soul and hid in the fugue mirror, and landed silently, there was no gap in the silver pot to enter, and below was the criss-crossing supports, which immediately slipped into the thousand-foot building along the gap of the supports.
At the bottom is a large high platform, called the viewing roof. It is surrounded by transparent glass walls, and standing on the observation deck, you can see the floating clouds in the sky, and you feel like you are sitting on the clouds.
Ming Qin sneaked into the viewing platform along the bracket under the silver pot, and saw three or five people standing below, and in the center was an old man who had grown up, wearing a dark brocade robe, inserting an ivory hairpin, with a ruddy complexion, and very majestic.
Next to it are Yin Wuya, Gu Changhong and the two elders of black and white. Ming Qin carefully identified him and recognized him as the elephant lord of the country with a nose.
Previously, Li Ruoxin almost cut off his head in the dormitory, when he was sick in bed and quite haggard. Unexpectedly, after eating Gu Changhong's Wujin Dan, he actually became radiant, and he couldn't see much sickness.
"This is the Heavenly Divine Eye made by the Taoist Master?" the elephant lord asked with interest, pointing to the silver pot on the viewing platform. (To be continued.) )
