Chapter 52: A Thunderous Blow
In the evening, Ji Yuanpeng, Ji Xiaoyu and Duan Hongyu ended their stop and went straight to the palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Coming to the palace wall, Duan Hongyu said: "Uncle Ji, our good and evil are unpredictable, in case we are scattered, don't forget to meet at the inn, if no one returns at dawn, there is no need to rescue, just leave the capital quickly." ”
Ji Yuanpeng agreed, and the father and daughter jumped onto the palace wall one by one, and they did not dodge and went straight to the depths of the palace.
The two walked not far away and saw a group of heavily armed eunuchs patrolling ahead.
When the eunuchs saw someone breaking into the palace, they were all shocked. The chief eunuch waved the sword in his hand and said, "Who are you, quickly stop me." ”
All the eunuchs rushed up and surrounded Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu.
Ji Yuanpeng's face did not change: "I want to see Cao Ye." ”
The chief eunuch said, "Who are you to dare to mention Gonggong Cao?"
Ji Yuanpeng said: "You are not qualified to ask me, I just let you go in and report to Cao Ye, and said that Ji Yuanpeng from Meili Village came to visit him." ”
Seeing Ji Yuanpeng's domineering expression, the chief eunuch said secretly: "Cao Huachun has a wide range of friends, this old man has an extraordinary bearing, maybe it has something to do with Cao Huachun." It doesn't matter if you offend the emperor, if you offend Cao Huachun, there is only one way to die. He said, "We can take you to see Gonggong Cao, but you have to hand over your weapons." ”
Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu threw their weapons in front of him. Ji Yuanpeng said: "We have something important to see Cao Ye, you take us there quickly, if there is anything wrong, be careful of your dog's life." ”
The chief eunuch didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to put blindfolds on Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu, and led them to see Cao Huachun.
It took a long distance to come to Cao Huachun's residence. At this time, I heard someone say loudly: "Father-in-law Hong, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
The chief eunuch whispered: "Gonggong Li, please go in and report it." There was a person who claimed to be Ji Yuanpeng who came to visit Grandpa Cao, and I didn't dare to say anything, so I quickly escorted them over. ”
Then Li Gonggong said: "Okay! You just hand over the people to me!"
The chief eunuch agreed, and led his men down. I only heard the sound of footsteps, thinking that Gonggong Li went in to ask Cao Huachun for advice.
Ji Yuanpeng whispered: "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, they won't do anything to us." ”
Ji Xiaoyu said: "Dad, I'm not afraid. ”
After a while, Father-in-law Li walked out quickly and said loudly: "Father-in-law Cao is invited, two, please inside!"
Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu were not afraid, and strode straight inside with Gonggong Li.
When I came indoors, my eyes turned from black to red, and the heat came to my face. Someone came up and took off Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu's blindfolds. Ji Yuanpeng opened his eyes and saw that there were many "Heavenly Remnant Six Monsters" in the house, and they were all full of surprise, thinking that they didn't understand why the father and daughter took the initiative to join the enemy camp. The person sitting in the center is the middle-aged man with kind eyebrows in Tie Bingxin's painting.
Ji Yuanpeng knew that he was the great eunuch Cao Huachun, and he hugged his fists and said, "I have seen Cao Ye in Xia Ji Yuanpeng!"
Cao Huachun looked at Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu, and said to Tie Yan: "This person is the Ji Yuanpeng you said?"
Tie Yan said: "Yes, he is Ji Lao Thief and his daughter Ji Xiaoyu." ”
Cao Huachun's face changed, and he only snorted, and dozens of heavily armed eunuchs immediately flashed from the shadows, and Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu were restrained in an instant.
Ji Yuanpeng laughed and said: "Master Cao, I came thousands of miles to vote, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this, are you still afraid that we will plot against you?"
Cao Huachun slapped the table and said, "Ji Yuanpeng, what are you doing here in the middle of the night, come from the real quickly." ”
Ji Yuanpeng said: "Master Cao, you have pursued my father and daughter hard, so that we have almost no place to stand, I am also old, and I have no son, I don't want to live that kind of wandering life anymore." The treasure map was left to me by my ancestors, and I wanted to find an opportunity to take out the treasure and raise an army against the Ming, but now the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and the Manchus outside the gate are eyeing me. After thinking about it, I decided to present this picture to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would use this treasure to resist foreign aggression and not harm Zhongliang again. ”
Cao Huachun's eyes lit up: "Ji Yuanpeng, are you really willing to give away the treasure map?"
Ji Yuanpeng said: "As long as Cao Ye can transfer it to the emperor on my behalf, I am willing to dedicate this picture." ”
Liu hated and said: "Gonggong Cao, the old thief is scheming, don't fall for him." ”
Cao Huachun snorted and said, "Ji Yuanpeng, where is the treasure map?"
Ji Yuanpeng shook off the eunuch who was twisting him, took out the treasure map from his arms, and handed it forward: "Please take a look at it." ”
Cao Huachun stepped forward to snatch the treasure map, and couldn't help but light up, he saw at first glance that the treasure map was genuine, and he was overjoyed, and put the treasure map into his sleeve and said: "Ji Lao Hero, your loyalty to the imperial court, the imperial court will never forget, and I will transfer this map to the saint tomorrow." You bring the old hero down and serve him for a good life. ”
Immediately, a eunuch came over and took Ji Yuanpeng and Ji Xiaoyu respectfully down.
Cao Huachun waved his hand, and the eunuchs and the other five monsters among the six monsters all retreated, leaving only him and Tie Yan. Tie Yan said: "Gonggong Cao, have you seen clearly? The old thief is scheming, we can't be bluffed by him with a fake picture." ”
Cao Huachun said: "I can see clearly, it won't be fake." What's more, the old thief is already in our hands, and he doesn't dare to use a fake picture to fool me. ”
Tie Yan was disappointed, he wanted to catch Ji Yuanpeng, so he could compete for favor in front of Cao Huachun, who thought that Ji Yuanpeng himself would take the initiative to send it to the door, which really made him hate it to the bone.
Cao Huachun closed the door and removed an inconspicuous painting of flowers and birds on the wall. The painting is old and looks to be some years old.
Tie Yanqi said: "Master Cao, what are you doing with this painting?"
Cao Huachun said: "Don't ask, just watch carefully." He took out a knife and swiped it lightly on the painting, which split in two. Cao Huachun shook the lower half of the painting on the table, and immediately fell out of it a landscape figure, which turned out to have a mezzanine in the flower and bird painting.
Only then did Tie Yan realize that this picture was another treasure map copied by Cao Huachun, and exclaimed: "Father-in-law Cao, we are done." ”
With a smug smile on his face, Cao Huachun stacked the two pictures on top of each other and looked carefully at the light. At this time, the texture of the two pictures just forms a perfect graphic through the light, and the mountains and rivers are all clearly visible.
Cao Huachun and Tie Yan were stunned, and the figure in front of them seemed to have turned into endless treasures in an instant, beckoning to them, making their eyes straight and their saliva flowing.
At this moment, only to hear the sound of "bang", a huge skylight opened overhead, and before they could react, a black figure had jumped down from the skylight.
Tie Yan only felt a sharp pain in his hand, and the two treasure maps had changed hands in an instant.
The black shadow's feet only touched the table lightly, and in an instant it flew out of the skylight.
