Chapter 8: Portrait of a Princess (Ask for Recommendation)

"Old man, where is this wind and building?" Ling Hao had no choice but to stop an old man who seemed to be taking a walk, offered his hand as a salute, and asked sincerely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old man looked at Ling Hao for a moment, and then said with a sudden expression: "Young man, you are from a foreign country, right?"

Ling Hao nodded when he heard this.

The old man said with relief: "You go straight along this street, turn right at the second intersection and go straight to it." ”

"Thank you, old man," he said, turning around and following the old man's instructions.

Looking at the endless stream of figures, Ling Hao, who had been deep in the mountains for eighteen years, felt like a world away.

"Good fabrics, ready-made clothes, don't miss it when you pass by,"

Ling Hao looked at his clothes, which looked too cold, touched the remaining silver, and there were quite a few, and directly entered the store.

Ling Hao looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and was also very satisfied, as the saying goes, this person wants to dress up as a Buddha and gold, and it is indeed true, looking at himself in front of him, it is much more pleasing to the eye than before, and even bought three pieces to make the shopkeeper happy, that is, he has the heart to call his father.

Finally, according to the guidance of the old man, I found this restaurant.

Looking up, I saw the three big characters of wind and building, which were extremely conspicuous, and there was an endless stream of guests at the door, obviously the business here was excellent.

"Guest officer, if you want to stay in the hotel, or do you want to eat?" As soon as he entered the door, a shopkeeper came up to greet him.

Ling Hao directly asked for a guest room.

"Okay, please come in," he said, and led Ling Hao upstairs.

"Listen to the accent, is he from a foreign country?" asked as he walked.

Ling Hao let out an "um" sound.

"That son must have come to recruit relatives for the third princess's competition, right?"

This person was so verbose, Ling Hao didn't bother to pay attention to it.

The shopkeeper was Ling Hao's acquiescence, and immediately said: "Childe, you may not have seen the third princess, right?

"Say!How much?" Ling Hao interrupted directly.

"Seeing that the son is handsome and extraordinary, it is very likely that he will be able to hold a beauty, three taels of silver!" said the shopkeeper.

At that moment, Ling Hao directly took out the silver and said, "There are just two taels, do you want it?" ”

"Yes!" shopkeeper immediately took the portrait to Ling Hao and said: "Childe, this is a limited edition, according to a certain collection..."

"Bump!" a thud almost missed hitting him on the nose.

Seeing Ling Hao close the door, he said to Ling Hao's room: "More than fifty have been sold today, these toads still want to eat swan meat, I'll take care of myself without peeing." ”

These voices naturally couldn't escape Ling Hao's ears, but he wouldn't be as familiar as such a person.

I bought this painting mainly to prove that the person I saved that day was not the third princess of the Qin State today.

When I opened the drawing, I saw that in this painting, there was a heavy makeup powder in the painting, holding a paper fan leaning against the railing, a pair of eyebrows and eyes with spring, and also revealing a resentful look, seeing this Ling Hao had a sense of déjà vu, I couldn't help but think about the girl in Yong'an City and Yanchun Tower: "Uncle come in and sit, uncle come in!." ”

"Damn! I've been pitted" realized that Ling Hao didn't hesitate to tear up the paper painting of two taels of silver.

After staying in the room for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, he went downstairs to the hall and ordered something to eat.

At this time, the hall was also full of people, Ling Hao found a corner and ordered something, quietly listening to what they were discussing.

"As you know, now that promising young talents from all over the country have rushed to the imperial city, do you know who is coming today?" a man not far away stood up and asked everyone.

For a while, it was quiet.

"Li De, just tell me who is coming," someone said dissatisfied.

The person named Li De said: "Today's person has a great background, the Sword Pavilion Young Pavilion Master Bufan, a cultivator, said that he has broken through the innate and innate double, it seems that he is the champion this time."

"That's not necessarily, Zhenming, the son of General Zhenwu, heard that he has returned from the border pass, and it is estimated that he is already on the way, and Tenglong, the son of Teng Taishi, has returned from the Great Zhou Kingdom not long ago, and Duan Yi, the son of the king of Zhennan, has also arrived in the imperial city. ”

Speaking of this, the man paused and continued: "The Zhou State is a symbol of strength and prosperity, the forty Qin States together do not have the Great Zhou State, I heard that the Tenglong is in the Great Zhou, worshipping a big power sect, do you say that the disciples sent by the gate can be weak?"

Everyone shook their heads in agreement, and at the same time secretly said in their hearts: "It seems that it is still unknown who can win the championship." ”

Li De pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that some time ago, it was true, these three families all asked Emperor Qin for marriage, but Emperor Qin now only Princess Wanru has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and the three parties can't be offended, so they can only engage in such a competition to recruit relatives." ”

At that moment, someone asked: "Then what if someone else loses the championship, then didn't Emperor Qin offend all three families?

Li De also said: "Yes, I understand the old man! Here is the thing you know best about the court."

The old man not far away pondered for a moment and said: "This horse will only be produced among these three people, in addition to their own strength, not to mention, the background of these three people is there, who will offend these three big forces for the name of a horse, as for what you said, if someone really doesn't have a long eye to grab this championship, it has nothing to do with the emperor, they want to be angry, and they are only angry with the person who won the championship." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone also solved their doubts, how to get it has nothing to do with Emperor Qin, he has already fallen into a quagmire, this competition to recruit relatives is all resolved, and let the three major forces fight each other, his move is really three birds with one stone.

This old man is really a person who has served in the deep palace, and every word is beautiful.

After Ling Hao heard this, he also felt that this Qin Emperor had the same intelligence, and sure enough, the people in the upper positions were all extraordinary.

..................

Ling Hao, who was practicing late at night, suddenly heard three knocks on the door, and saw a figure enter the room.

"Brother Ling, brother, I'm here," said Ling Lan, who had a lewd face, and Ling Bodao looked at him with a smile.

Ling Hao hesitated slightly: "Brother, I think we should not go, this deep palace is too dangerous." ”

Lan Ling smiled and didn't expect Ling Bo to retreat at this time, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry! I'm in and out seven times, and I'm very familiar with the inside of the palace, and I'm here to guarantee that you'll be fine!

Seeing that he was completely sure of what he said, he nodded and said, "When will you leave?" He was also full of curiosity about the place where the emperor of the palace lived, and he also felt very excited.

Lan Ling smiled and said, "Let's go now!"

One after the other, he left the inn unconsciously.

I saw the two of them rushing towards the mountains and forests.

Ling Hao sped up, turned sideways with Lan Ling Xiaoxiao and asked, "Brother, aren't we going to the palace, why are we running to this barren mountain and wilderness?"

Lan Ling replied with a smile: "You'll know when you arrive!"

After a while, the two of them came to a cliff.

At this time, it is late at night, the moon is hanging high, this barren mountain and wild mountains, from time to time there is a light wind, and today the moon is round and bright today, and the branches are swaying in the moonlight, which is particularly gloomy.

"What did my brother bring me here for, could it be to entertain me?" Ling Hao said in a slightly cold voice.

Lan Ling smiled and said, "Brother come and take a look," he said and approached the edge of the cliff.

Ling Hao also followed.

I saw that this cliff was unfathomable, and I couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

I saw Lan Ling smiling, and walked directly to a big tree on the edge of the cliff, beckoning Ling Bo to come over.

When Ling Hao approached, he found that this ancient tree was tied with a rope close to its roots, and he looked at Lan Ling and smiled puzzled.

Lan Ling smiled and explained, "There is a secret passage in the middle of this cliff that leads directly to the inner courtyard of the palace, and now we only need to enter from here. So saying, he pulled the rope and flew down.

After Ling Hao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best way to enter with a secret passage, and when he saw Lan Ling smiling, he also went down the rope.

Ling Hao went down nearly a hundred zhang deep, only to see a huge stone protruding from the cliff, Ling Hao stepped towards the cliff with his left foot, twisted his body in the air, and landed smoothly on this raised boulder, looking down at the bottom of the cliff is still bottomless.

Ling Hao raised his head, looked at this bare hundred-zhang high cliff, and couldn't help but secretly say: "This cliff is extremely smooth, I'm afraid even the masters of the Grandmaster Realm can't go up." ”

Lan Ling smiled and seemed to understand Ling Bo's doubts. Immediately explained: "At the beginning of the establishment of this place, there was a river below, so this secret passage is to prevent any accidents in the palace, so as to escape through this secret passage, I don't want this to go through thousands of years of changes, three generations of dynasty changes, the river below has long disappeared, and now this escape road has become a dead end."

Ling Hao asked curiously, "I'm afraid it's a secret passage that the current Qin Emperor doesn't know, how can you know?"

Lan Ling smiled and said, "This is naturally the design drawing of the original construction of the palace that I happened to have for a while. As he spoke, he took out a piece of papyrus from his bosom.

Ling Hao said with a smile: "This first thief, it really deserves its reputation, let's go" Speaking of which, Ling Hao was a little impatient at the moment.

Lan Ling smiled and took the lead and walked directly to the cliff wall, a hole the size of a person that had been dug artificially.
