Chapter 387: Deep in the Palace

A quarter of an hour later, Ishikawa and Yin Yin appeared in a palatial restaurant in the middle of the busiest street in Chukyo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info?huoranwen w?w?w?.?

The square table in front of them was full of the most famous dishes of the region, as well as the most mellow and fragrant wines, but they seemed to have no interest in it at all, and they closed their eyes as if they had come to doze off.

Centered on Ishikawa and Yin Yin, the nearest tables were empty, not because the restaurant's business was bad, but because the diners who came here to eat and drink all avoided the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally.

There were also hungry guests who rushed in from outside, and at first they came straight to these empty tables with a happy face, but as soon as their steps crossed some invisible and untouchable boundary, they frowned, changed their faces greatly, and cautiously retreated, preferring to wait for a vacant seat in the distance or turn around and leave, rather than go near there.

It was getting late, and the night completely enveloped the whole of Zhongjing.

During this period, the shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't know how many times he sighed and looked at Ishikawa and Yin Yin, but if he wanted to come over and persuade the two to hurry up and leave, the shopkeeper would definitely not do it.

But it was not a way to go on like this, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant had no choice but to quietly report to the government.

The first group of messengers came quickly, and then retreated at an even faster pace.

Immediately after that, the second group was replaced by the brightly armored non-commissioned officers, but they, like the previous officers, even had weaker legs when they retreated.

It wasn't until half an hour later that two extremely luxurious eight-lift sedan chairs stopped outside the door of the restaurant, and a woman wearing a veil and a long green dress walked in accompanied by two fathers-in-law.

The two fathers-in-law in red official robes entered the door without saying a word, and stood respectfully at the door, only the woman in the long green dress walked towards Ishikawa and Yin Yin step by step.

One step, two steps, three steps.

When the woman came within ten steps of Ishikawa, her body suddenly trembled in a very small amplitude, and even the graceful and gorgeous turquoise dress blew like a wave.

"Huh?" Ishikawa frowned slightly, and his eyes, which had been closed, opened a gap and looked at the woman who was in a dilemma seven or eight steps away.

"Oh, it turned out to be Ling Daoyou, so Chunwen has already arrived here?" Ishikawa closed his eyes, took a deep breath when he opened them again, and with his movements, the aura bridge of stagnation and slaughter within a radius of ten steps centered on him was quietly swept away, and it returned to the appearance of a sunny and spring flower.

Ling Xiaonan was silent for a long time before replying in a low voice: "Senior Brother Chunwen hasn't come over yet, he has been delayed by some other things, only I came to Zhongjing first, waiting for you here." ”

Ling Xiaonan whispered a glance at Yin Yin as she spoke, and what surprised and confused her was that Yin Yin had always been in a state of wandering outside of her mind and not being haunted by anything, and her whole person's spirit seemed to be constricted, which was completely different from the feeling of being like an unsheathed sword when they met before.

Ishikawa picked the corners of his lips, looked at Ling Xiaonan and said with a smile: "Chunwen is always mysterious, what is the matter with letting us come over this time?"

Ling Xiaonan looked around, although all the diners in the restaurant had left cleanly when the first group of messengers came, she still said carefully: "Senior Brother Chunwen didn't say anything to me, he just said that after the two of you arrive here, you will make your own decisions, this is not the place to talk, please come with me." ”

Ishikawa nodded, picked up the wine jug on the table and drank it all, and as if no one was around, he left the restaurant and sat in the sedan chair that had been waiting outside for a long time.

Half an hour later, in Zhongjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Ishikawa and Yin Yin met one of the highest-ranking magnates after they came out, this person was the younger brother of the Jin monarch, and the prince Song Beiyue, who was really one person under ten thousand people in the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

In the extremely wide Jin Kingdom, even the Jin monarch Song Zhongtai's own several princes are completely inferior to Song Beiyue's power, and what is even more strange is that Song Zhongtai's succession of the crown prince completely violates the consistent rules of Lichang or Lixian, but pushes the young son who is not yet ten years old this year to the throne, if Song Zhongtai dies in recent years, whether the prince who is still a half-old child can successfully ascend to the throne is really a difficult question to answer.

You must know that Song Zhongtai is sixty-five this year, and it is rumored that his health has not been too good, and he is accompanied by medicine all day long, even if he is full of strength to live, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive for a few more years, but Song Beiyue is not yet forty years old, he is in the prime of life, and his experience in the army when he was young has also laid a good foundation for his body, coupled with proper maintenance, Song Beiyue, who is just over thirty-five years old, looks only as old as he is in his twenties.

The rumors that Song Beiyue will succeed Emperor Song on the throne are on the rise, only the court has maintained silence since ancient times, and no one has made a clear statement, of course, there is a force in Song Beiyue that is obscure but still not small, that is the die-hard figure of the great prince, and now only he can compete with Song Beiyue a little.

He didn't care who was the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and he didn't care about the dragon and tiger fighting in the Jin court, all he cared about was Song Beiyue, and Chun Wen deliberately pointed out this person before leaving through Ling Xiaonan's mouth.

"There is a man named Song Beiyue in the Jin Kingdom, it seems that he is the younger brother of the current Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he is a bit of an interesting person, we also need his assistance in some things, Senior Brother Ishikawa can go to meet him on this trip, and when the time comes, he only needs to mention the bank of the Green Water River, he naturally knows your intention. ”

To be called a little interesting earthly person by Chunwen with a very high vision, it must have a great meaning.

Song Beiyue's prince's mansion was heavily guarded, and there were many bright posts and secret sentinels from outside the gate, and after entering the palace, there were also soldiers who patrolled non-stop, and there was almost no gapless defense, making the entire palace like an iron pass, even if Ishikawa wanted to sneak in silently without using the Dao method, he couldn't.

But all this has no meaning to Ishikawa, with Ling Xiaonan and the two red-clothed fathers-in-law leading the way, Ishikawa and Yin Yin sat on the eight-lift sedan chair as if entering a no-man's land, quickly entering the depths of the palace, somewhat unexpected Ishikawa is that when he stepped into the inner courtyard of the palace, he no longer felt the presence of guards, everything was quiet, as if the courtyard wall of the inner house was a barrier, one side was a heavily guarded camp, and the other side was a garden with birds and flowers, and the inside and outside were completely different worlds.
