Chapter 16: Seeing the Holy Face Again
"So you didn't go through the main gate!" Lu Ziang said to Meng Jingyun in front of a tall dark red gate.
"The front is heavily guarded, in case there is no place to ventilate!" Meng Jingyun glanced at him, the two of them took a deep breath and walked out, the two soldiers with spears at the door were talking about something, with a lewd smile on their faces, and the two walked into the door gently.
The ground was covered with white stone bricks, and just after walking a few steps, Lu Ziang pulled the corner of Meng Jingyun's clothes, Meng Jingyun shook his head and pulled him into the room not far from him, the door was locked, and the two looked around and there was no one. Lu Ziang took a deep breath and calmed down, the two discussed the code outside the city, and if they wanted to pull the corner of their clothes when they entered the city, someone would come and pull it twice!
"If you want to go at your speed, you won't be able to walk in the dark, and you still have a time limit!" Meng Jingyun said angrily.
"That's halfway there?"
"It's still far away"
"Then keep walking!"
After that, the two continued to hurry, Lu Ziang wanted to catch his breath, so the two found a place where no one was to breathe, and after walking for a while, they saw a big lake. The two of them showed their figures under a willow tree next to the tree, "This lake is really big!" Lu Ziang sighed.
"No! This lake is bigger than the inner city of the palace! There is a bridge in the middle, No, is the one you see!" Meng Jingyun pointed to the bridge next to it, "This is the Yuhe Bridge, above is Qionghua Island, and below there are Diaoyutai and Showa Hall, let's walk a little past and see the moat, along the moat."
Turn right, and you'll have to walk for miles!
"Hey, Miss Jingyun is a person in this palace, she knows so carefully!" Lu Ziang listened to the direction that Jingyun pointed to like a number of treasures, and his eyes widened.
"It's called stepping on the point! I don't understand the fart! Can you stick to it! How much time is there for copying?" Meng Jingyun gave him a blank look.
"Don't get in the way, when the time comes, Miss Jingyun will touch Xiao Sheng again!
"Pound!" Meng Jingyun knocked Lu Ziang with a two-finger Zen again, and then disappeared his figure.
"Ouch! it hurts! Miss Jingyun is waiting!" Lu Ziang turned to follow, and the two of them walked and stopped intermittently and finally came to the inner city, and walked through the jade lion bridge not far from the last time they entered the palace, but it was a little narrower. As soon as he entered the inner city, Lu Ziang pulled Meng Jingyun's clothes again, and Meng Jingyun had no way to take him into the first hall that had just entered the inner city, and the inner city was much stricter than the outer city. When they entered the main hall, the two of them appeared, bang, a jar of wine was beaten, and the two turned to look, and there was a large group of young men wearing coarse linen clothes carrying a jar of wine, staring at them. It turned out that this was the Imperial Wine Workshop, and this group of young men came to deliver wine, no wonder this hall was not locked.
"Who!" the gang seemed to think they had both walked in.
"Wait, isn't he the same kid who ran away from us that day, grab it!" said one of them suddenly, and the group of lads rushed at them.
"Let's go!" Lu Ziang turned around and opened the door and pushed Meng Jingyun out, and Meng Jingyun disappeared as soon as she went out. As soon as Lu Ziang held his breath, he was thrown to the ground, and his breath leaked directly.
"Shut the door!" Personally inform the shopkeeper, let him inform Manager Li!" said the young man to a companion. The man pulled out of the Imperial Wine Workshop, only to see a voice coming from outside the door, "What's the matter with the sound just now?" "Official! I'm sorry, my brother smashed a jar of wine and just scolded him! Don't you go back and get a jar and make up for it! Don't be angry, there's nothing going on!" "Hmph! Go quickly!"
After a while, three people came, and it was the young man who had just left who walked into the Imperial Wine Workshop with Manager Li and a middle-aged man with a ruddy face.
"That's right! It's him, shopkeeper Cao, go back first! Thank you for being so busy and taking the time to accompany Li on this trip!" Manager Li said to the middle-aged man after taking a closer look at Lu Ziang.
"Mr. Li, you're welcome, aren't I also a member of our Beacon Gang, this blood and loyalty are all for the sake of the people of our world!" Shopkeeper Cao smiled, and turned to the other young men and said, "Manager Li will do whatever he says, finish the work early and go back to help, and there are more than 100 catties of wine lees to be steamed in the pot that day! I will go back to help first! Manager Li, farewell!"
"Shopkeeper Cao, go slowly!" With that, Shopkeeper Cao walked out of the Imperial Wine Workshop, and Manager Li came to Lu Ziang's side. "Little Brother Lu, did you say goodbye last time, does it mean that our helper's trust in you is wrong?"
"Mr. Li, do you know how much Xiaosheng has suffered? It should be because your brother was not well guarded, so that he was kidnapped by the people of the wolf smoke village and almost lost his life!" Lu Ziang shrank his head.
"So where have you been these days? Although I am not boasting, our Beacon Gang has unparalleled intelligence capabilities in the world, from the big eunuchs and magnates, to the small beggars and thieves, there are members of our Beacon Gang, and the most backbone is that almost every merchant in the city, there are eighty percent of the people who are members of our Beacon Gang, as long as you stay and eat, it is impossible to escape our eyes!" Manager Li revealed pride in his words, turned to calm, and said with interest. But after spending so many days looking for you, no one has seen you, what a wicked sect! Tell me, where are the loopholes in our intelligence network?"
That's natural! Unless you have heavenly eyes, I can still see me when I go in and out? Lu Ziang was secretly proud in his heart, and after thinking about it, he made up an excuse: "Xiao Sheng has been hiding in the cellar outside for the past few days, and he has never come out!
"Oh, that's no wonder, then I don't know what happened when Little Brother Lu came out of this cellar and came to this palace?"
Before Lu Ziang could speak, the door was pushed open, and several eunuchs walked in outside. The leader has white hair, hunched, long nails, spotless clothes, finger orchid fingers, and says in a weird way, "Haven't you done a good job yet!"
"The work has been done! Gonggong Liu! It's just that we caught an uninvited guest!" said Chief Manager Li with his head bowed to the eunuch.
"Oh, hey, isn't this the young man who accompanied General Qiao Chenpei in the palace a few days ago to investigate things! How did you get in?" said Gonggong Liu in surprise when he saw Lu Ziang.
"Father-in-law Liu, how many days have you not seen you, how are you doing?" Lu Ziang stood up, patted his clothes, and made a gesture. This Gonggong Liu is the steward and eunuch of this palace, and he took a look at it when he asked about the holy matter last time.
"Don't fight me! Tell me quickly!" Grandpa Liu's eyes narrowed.
"Something big is going to happen in a few days! Someone is going to enter this imperial city, and this grass people dare to come here in the name of a general, and want to report to the saint!"
"What!? Father-in-law Liu's eyes were as wide as eggs.
"Really!" Lu Ziang said sharply. "I also hope that my father-in-law can take the grass people to see the holy face, report to the Son of Heaven, and don't let the tricks of people with different hearts succeed!"
"Come with me!" Du Kangju's steward also came over, and what happened was clearly explained to the saint!" "Gonggong Liu pondered for a while, and still felt that he should report better, this kind of thing would rather be credible or not, and this Lu Ziang did come to the palace some time ago to investigate that big matter, if there is really a situation, he will be on the ground! After walking for a while, I came to the imperial study, the little emperor was practicing calligraphy, don't look at the small character is indeed very beautiful, strong and powerful, horizontal pen into a mountain, vertical pen into a river, this fierce momentum from the word paved out! A group of people knelt under the table for a long time, the little emperor did not know whether he found that they had stopped writing, or had already found that he had just finished writing.
"Gonggong Liu, what is the important thing for you to bring these people?" The little emperor came out from behind the table and stood at the table, the little emperor was now sitting behind the table and looked funny, he himself knew such a thing, but whenever there was anything, he would go to the open place next to him.
"Holy Lord, I don't know if I remember this... What's your name?" Father-in-law Liu didn't seem to remember Lu Ziang's name, and turned around and asked.
"Mr. Lu Ziang, who is extremely accurate in folk divination! That's what General Qiao said at that time!" said the little emperor with great interest.
"Yes, yes, the emperor is really good to remember, *** I can't remember it when I'm old!, the emperor forgives the sins!" Liu Gonggong replied energetically.
"Come on, let him do it himself!"
"Yes, yes!" Liu Gonggong hunched over and crawled to the side.
"The grass people see the emperor!" Lu Ziang kowtowed!
"Say it, what's the matter!"
"Your Majesty! Forgive the grass people! This world is going to be in chaos!"
"Presumptuous!bastard!I want your dog's life!!"
