The four guards saw the eunuch approaching, and one of the guards leaning against the door said: "Yo, father-in-law, early in the morning, don't spread out on the bed for a while, what are you doing in a hurry?" The eunuch looked gloomy and said: "There was an assassin last night, and I haven't gotten it yet, and the emperor is still sleeping in the Scarlet Palace at this time, please four of you, go to the Scarlet Palace to escort you quickly." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" He said please, but his tone was no different from a drink order. Another guard immediately said: "My father-in-law is in the seventh rank, and his identity is very unusual, but if it is not for our intention to disobey the order, only this one way, the south gate will be unguarded, if the assassin slips through this gate, the emperor will blame it, and we can't afford it." The guard leaning on the door continued: "Father-in-law, we all have wives and children when we walk in front of the palace, but we are not as carefree as my father-in-law, and he is light." The eunuch listened to the guard's prickly sentences, raised his eyebrows in anger, and said in a strange manner: "Gonggong Liu's order, do you listen to it or not, you can listen to it, my words have arrived, and I will leave." As soon as the four guards heard the words "Gonggong Liu", they were speechless, and one of the guards said in a long voice: "Brothers, let's go." "Follow the eunuch to the Scarlet Palace.

When the eunuch and the guards walked away, Gu Yuecong and Ouyang Long'er came down from the roof, and Gu Yuecong said: "No wonder I didn't see anyone along the way, it turned out that they all went to the Scarlet Palace to escort them." Ouyang Long'er said: "The dog eunuch surnamed Liu is calling for wind and rain in the palace, and my father was sent to the prison, which must have something to do with him." Most of the four eunuchs he met last night were also sent by him. Gu Yuecong said: "We have to find real evidence." Saying that, he suddenly stopped, and said: "At this moment, the palace guards and eunuchs are all surrounding the Scarlet Smoke Palace, won't we go to the snare by ourselves?" Ouyang Long'er was also stunned, and said: "Didn't someone hear the rumors, these dogs and things surrounded the Scarlet Palace, nominally to protect the emperor, but in fact to arrest us?" Gu Yuecong frowned and said: "Except for Nie Guifei and Shuiyue County Lord in the palace, no third person knows that we have entered the palace, who will leak the news?" Ouyang Long'er said: " The minions surnamed Liu have great skills, if they didn't come for us, there was no need to let the more than 3,000 guards in the palace go to the Scarlet Palace. The two of them pondered for a long time, and Gu Yuecong suddenly said: "If not, there is still a possibility." Ouyang Long'er said: "What?" Gu Yuecong said: "In the name of protecting the emperor, they deliberately let us escape. Ouyang Long'er said: "It's too late for them to arrest us, how can they let us escape?" Gu Yuecong said: "You also saw it just now, the palace guards and eunuchs don't seem to get along, the four eunuchs entered the Eighth Prince's Mansion last night, obviously they didn't want outsiders to know, the four eunuchs were afraid that the two of us would be caught by the guards and expose their break-into the Prince's Mansion, so they deliberately left a way for the two of them." Ouyang Long'er nodded and said, "Yes, if the dog eunuch surnamed Liu knows that these four people have not been completed, and let people discover their whereabouts, he will definitely not spare them." After that, he said with admiration: "Brother Gu, you are so smart, you can also think of this." Gu Yue Cong said: "I'm just speculating, in the Bloodthirsty Valley in the past, the guards of Taniguchi caught the herdsmen who had strayed into the Divine Sect in the sect, but they let them go, just because they were afraid that the sect leader would know that there were outsiders who had joined the religion and would be severely punished." Ouyang Long'er nodded and said, "Then what now, should we take the opportunity to leave the palace?" Gu Yuecong said: "Once you leave the palace, it will not be easy to enter the palace again." Ouyang Long'er said: "Why don't we go to the outside of the Scarlet Palace to see the movement and then see the opportunity to act?" Gu Yuecong thought for a while and said, "It's best to see Nie Guifei and listen to her ideas." ”

Taking advantage of the faint white dawn, the two of them found a rockery surrounded by vegetation and hid in the far away from the gate of the Scarlet Palace, only to see the palace maid and eunuch hurriedly walking by, although there were many guards outside the Scarlet Palace, but everyone stood outside the palace, neither moving around, nor patrolling, the guards were mostly unintentionally moving, but the eunuchs were obviously strictly ordered not to move around. Seeing this, the two knew that what they expected was not bad, and they were slightly relieved.

Suffering from the extremely suffocating weather in the past six months, the grass was humid and hot, and there were many mosquitoes in the grass, so the two did not dare to move, so they could only let the mosquitoes bite. It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that I heard a noise outside the gate of the Scarlet Palace, and the eunuchs and guards outside the palace shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The two men were far apart, and the emperor could not hear a word of what he said, and after a while, he saw the guards and eunuchs scatter in all directions. Gu Yuecong and Ouyang Long'er saw the four guards slowly walking towards this side, it was the four people under the south gate of Fang Cai, who were busy lying in the grass. When I got closer, I only heard one of the guards say: "It's really unlucky, it was obviously the old thing who ordered us to come, but we were scolded by the emperor for being nonsense." Another guard said in a deep voice: "Be quiet, who doesn't know that in addition to the emperor in the palace now, the surname Liu is the biggest." The guard said, "Fuck, what our imperial guards say is from the sixth grade, why should we be called by the old turtle." The four whispered a word, and in a short time they walked towards the south gate.

Gu Yuecong and Ouyang Long'er saw that everyone had walked away, so they came out of the grass, sneaked all the way to the backyard of the Scarlet Palace, entered over the wall, and returned to Gu Yuecong's bedroom.

Ouyang Long'er opened the door, Nie Guifei saw the two together, she was slightly stunned, and then entered the house, closed the door, and asked, "Did you two sleep well last night?" Speaking of sleeping, Ouyang Long'er immediately felt that his eyes were heavy, and drowsiness came, he yawned, stretched his waist again, swaggered and lay down on Gu Yuecong's couch, and said: "I haven't slept all night, but I'm tired to death." Seeing that both of them were tired, Nie Guifei swept her eyes over the bed, then turned around and said, "Let's sleep for a while, when you wake up, the palace will send someone to bring food." With that, one foot had stepped over the threshold. Gu Yuecong suddenly became quite cold when he heard her tone, he was puzzled, and he didn't have time to think about it, and said: "Niangniang, we had a big disaster last night, and we ask the concubine to decide." ”

Nie Guifei didn't look back, looked at the faint green bamboo outside the door, and said for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Gu Yuecong said: "Last night, Long Er and I were bumped into at the Eighth Prince's Mansion at night, whether to go or stay, please make a decision." ”

Nie Guifei was taken aback, turned around and asked, "You didn't sleep all night last night, did you go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion?" After speaking, she found that her tone seemed to be too brisk, and immediately said: "So, the assassins that the palace guards want to arrest are the two of you?"

Both of them nodded, and Gu Yuecong said: "Long'er and I are reckless for a while, please forgive Niangniang." ”
