Chapter Eighty-Eight: Eavesdropping
Chapter Eighty-Eight: Eavesdropping
Xiao Ruoshui followed behind Grandpa Hu unhurriedly, he felt that it was still very inconvenient, in a remote place, he knocked out a guard, and stuffed it into a fake cave after clicking on the sleeping hole, so that he would not have a chance to come out of the cave for twelve hours. Putting on the clothes of the guard, he felt much better, he hurriedly walked in the direction of the palace, he knew that Gonggong Hu would definitely go to the palace, he jumped forward from the roof to make up for the lost time, sure enough, when he arrived at the palace, he saw that Gonggong Hu had not yet arrived, and walked towards here from afar, he jumped off the roof, walked out of a corner, and walked towards the door of the palace.
"Who, what are you doing?" two guards who suddenly jumped out stopped him, the bright steel knife was in front of him, he raised the token in his hand, and the two of them immediately retreated and hid in the darkness. Xiao Ruoshui thought in his heart that the defense of this palace was really very tight, much tighter than that of the Turkic palace.
He walked up the steps, flashed the token to the two guards at the door, and walked into the palace hall, he entered the hall and pretended to check, and slowly approached the place where the hall was meeting, there were only three people in the hall, he had seen Zhang Daowen, and there were two people he had not seen, when he came in, he changed a mask, so Zhang Daowen did not recognize him, he carried a knife and walked to the room next to him, this is the guard's lounge, now there are only a few people sleeping heavily, he quietly walked over, next to the sleeping hole, so that no one suddenly woke up to disturb him, he quietly walked out of the guard's roomγ From the window to the back of the main hall, and then bypassed everyone's attention, and returned to the main hall, at this time he had quietly hidden on the roof beam behind the three of them, quietly looking down, the place where he was hiding was exactly the place where the pillars and beams of the main hall met, and he could use the pillar to cover the detection of the eyes from both directions, he didn't expect to get too close, as long as he was in this position, he could use the power of perception to detect the conversation of any person. Of course, it is a dialogue between people who do not use the same martial arts as gathering qi into silk.
He looked down. Father-in-law Hu had already trotted all the way to the three of them, he was panting, Xiao Ruoshui saw the opportunity, and he immediately began to perceive it. At this time, he was as tightly attached to the pillar as a carving on the pillar of the main hall. No one could notice that there was a man lying on the pillars of this hall.
Hu Gonggong gasped. He said to the three people: "Atayal Gong mainly wants to look at the Celestial Star Compass, and they are estimated to have come for the Celestial Star Compass." β
"What, Atayal is going to look at the Star Compass. Are they here for the Star Compass?" the three of them were taken aback and said in unison.
"Today the old slave took them to visit the palace, at noon Princess Ataya proposed to see the star compass, hoping to see what this Turkic palace does not have, I just finished accompanying them and immediately rushed to report to the king, I think they are here for the star compass. Grandpa Hu's breathing calmed down a lot, but his speed of speech did not slow down, and he was still very anxious.
"I know it, you should step back first, I have something to discuss with the prince. The chubby man motioned for the two of them to go down first.
After Father-in-law Hu and Zhang Daowen said goodbye, the chubby man looked at the thin old man who was sitting on the chair with his mouth wide open and silent, and he said, "Big brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, does the matter of the Celestial Star Compass illustrate a problem, there is a problem with the Turks' finances, so they want to take out this wealth to meet their financial needs?"
"Very likely, my feeling is that if the Turks and the Tang Dynasty fight to the death this time, then after a long time, the most profitable fisherman must be King Zuo Xian, we must see the situation clearly, don't follow the wrong person, run in the wrong direction. The chubby middle-aged man said with his hands behind his back.
"Will the star compass be shown to Princess Atayal that day?" the old man said, staring at the middle-aged man.
"You must see it, but you have to watch it under the supervision of many people, so that you don't have to worry about losing it, and you can also get rid of the unpleasant things that may cause it. The middle-aged man nodded, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a hint of a smile.
When Xiao Ruoshui heard this, he roughly understood who the two people were, one was the patriarch, that is, the head of the Belen tribe, and the other was his younger brother.
"The hub of the Star Compass has always been the key to open the treasure, but there is no treasure map, there are no other two parts, there is no way to obtain the treasure, we only have the hub in our hands, in fact, it is useless to ask for it, it is a pity to lose it, I now understand what Cao Cao said the word chicken ribs for Lu at the beginning. The patriarch shook his head and sighed.
"But if you get it in your hand, you will have the means to check and balance others, and without it, there will be no means of checks and balances, and there will be no bargaining chips, so it's better to be optimistic, but no one can get it, and you can't let one person get cheap. The chubby middle-aged man could see it clearly, with a hint of vicious tone in his words, and the corners of his mouth were biting, as if he was extremely unconvinced by the Turkic domineering and unfriendly.
When Xiao Ruoshui heard this, he already knew that he would definitely see the pivot of the Heavenly Star Compass tomorrow, so he waited until the two left, quietly left the palace hall, and slipped back to Gu Lisha and his residence through the back door. When he returned, he casually changed the clothes of the guards who had been thrown into the rockery, and then threw them back into the cave.
Then he clapped his hands and returned to his residence. When he walked into the house, Gu Lisha did not sleep, beckoned to him to come, he went into Gu Lisha's room and closed the door, Gu Lisha said to him with great interest, "How does it feel to be a thief?
"It's a little bit of a harvest, it's not comfortable to be a thief, my whole body is sore, I need to have a good rest. Xiao Ruoshui touched his nose, twisted his shoulders and complained to Gu Lisha.
"Come, I'll press you, and tell me what you've gained. Gu Lisha stepped forward gently, and reached out to help Xiao Ruoshui massage it. Xiao Ruoshui hurriedly dodged, he begged for mercy: "I said I said, I can't afford you." β
"Coward. Gu Lisha withdrew her hand and looked at Xiao Ruoshui and said hatefully.
"Tomorrow we will meet the hub of the Star Compass, and our mission is to see if it is possible to steal the Star Compass or snatch it. Xiao Ruoshui made a gesture and said decisively.
"You have premeditated, the question is how to snatch or steal it?" Gu Lisha asked Xiao Ruoshui suspiciously, her brows furrowed tightly, it seemed to be a problem.
"This mountain man has his own tricks, just wait, remember that tomorrow morning I will have a breakfast for you, it tastes very good. Xiao Ruoshui walked out of the house in a dashing manner, with a confident look, which made Gu Lisha look at it with disdain and said, "If you don't break the law by bragging, you can brag about it." But Xiao Ruoshui's last sentence made her very happy, after all, it was also a kind of happiness for someone to make breakfast for her. (To be continued......)
