Along the royal road in front of Huifu Pavilion until Hanxiang Pavilion, He Xu and Li Hong did not see half a figure.
Li Hong was a little frustrated: "General, could it be that a few of them are wrong, in this deep palace compound, there are a lot of eunuchs and palace maids walking around, and even the forbidden army patrolling the night has encountered a few teams, if there is a disturbance, it will be chaotic a long time ago, and it will be as calm as now?"
” He Xu raised his eyes and looked at the dark long street in front of him, Li Hong was right, they walked along the road, and they had already encountered several teams of people, and that person felt that it was impossible to quietly avoid so many pairs of eyes, even a martial arts master with excellent light skills.
However, there were four soldiers guarding the Gongchen Gate just now, could they still see all of them?
He looked at Li Hong, "The two of us think that this is the case, you go through the royal road again, and I will go to the small stone mountain north of the Huining Hall to take a look, and search carefully without disturbing the people of the harem."
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the south, Li Hong walked in the opposite direction as ordered, and the two walked farther and farther, and it didn't take long for them to see each other's backs.
He Xu is going to the hill without a name, it is made of stacked stones, there is a hall and two pavilions built on the mountain, named Cuiwei Palace, Yungui Pavilion, layer pavilion, also under the jurisdiction of the harem, but it is located in the middle of nowhere, and few people come, so he walked all the way, and he did not meet any palace people.
When he arrived at the foot of the stone mountain, He Xu looked up and saw a figure shaking in the Cuiwei Palace, obviously the people inside had not yet fallen asleep.
He was afraid of alarming the people inside, so he walked along the foot of the mountain, carefully looking up the mountain as he went.
After turning around for a while, he really didn't find anything abnormal, so he wanted to go back to the royal road to join Li Hong.
Who knows, just a few steps forward, but suddenly a strange sound floated in his ears.
The "click" is crisper than footsteps, like the sound of wood hitting stones.
He Xu hurriedly turned around, but he didn't find anything abnormal within his sight, but he could hear it clearly, the sound was clearly coming from the stone mountain, and it hadn't stopped yet, "da-da-da" one after another, crisp and distinct.
He Xu only hesitated slightly, then ran up a staircase up the stone mountain, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he found that the voice that had been guiding him was gone, as if it had been suddenly swallowed up by darkness, so he stopped and held his breath, trying to figure out something in the dark night of the shadow pupils carved by flowers and trees.
To his disappointment, the "clicking" sound seemed to have completely disappeared, and the cicadas and birds returned to the stone mountain, and everything around seemed so quiet and peaceful.
The candle flame in the Cuiwei Hall next to it is fluttering, reflecting a delicate figure, He Xu looked at the silhouette, and was a little stupid for a while, once upon a time, he also stood outside the comb window, in a daze at a beautiful shadow, but now, the shadow passed away with the wind, leaving him alone in the vast world.
The hall suddenly went dark, and the candlelight disappeared without warning, so that He Xu's eyes couldn't adjust to the sudden darkness for a while.
He closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly opened them again, and when his eyes opened, he saw a gray shadow in the Yungui Pavilion, looming, not very real.
Rubbing his eyes again, the shadow disappeared again, and he searched anxiously everywhere, only to find that the shadow had reappeared in the pavilion, leaning obliquely on the railing, looking at him.
"Who is it?"
He Xu roared, pulled out his sword and ran quickly towards the layer pavilion, just ran two steps, but stood still, because the figure in the pavilion disappeared, so suddenly, there was no trace left, He Xu walked to the pavilion, carefully searched a few times, but found nothing, as if what he saw just now was just an illusion.
"General, did you find anything?"
Li Hong's voice came from the bottom of the mountain, he had already returned from his inspection, and now he was standing at the foot of the mountain, shouting at He Xu in a low voice.
He Xu shook his head, turned around and walked down the mountain, "Nothing, maybe it's really me who is too careful."
Halfway through the words, he suddenly stopped, and the remaining half of the words seemed to be blown away from his mouth by the night wind, He Xu remained motionless, staring at a stone next to his feet, "What is this?"
” Li Hong was stunned by what he said, and hurriedly squatted down in the direction of his finger, and he saw a boxy mark on a stone next to him, stained with muddy water, and the edges were a little blurred, obviously just printed.
He Xu turned his head again and looked at the dark Cuiwei Palace, which was not lifeless, like a lonely mound.
"Li Hong, who lives in this Cuiwei Palace?"
Li Hong craned his neck and thought for a while, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile, "Mrs.
Blossom." ” Liu Xujiao hurriedly walked into Fengle Building, and as soon as he arrived on the third floor, he saw a familiar figure sitting at a table by the window, looking at the scenery outside in a daze with his hands on his cheeks.
He stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and patted her on the shoulder, "I knew it was you, when the little servant in the house told me that a handsome girl came to me, I thought he used the wrong word, but then I thought that this word was very appropriate to describe the cherished girl." ” "Lord Liu will make fun of me," Jiang Xixi said and filled the cup in front of the two, then stood up respectfully, picked up the teacup and saluted Liu Xujiao, "It's a pity that Lord Lao bothered to be given the marriage by the emperor, and he should have gone to the house in person to thank him, but he was afraid that there would be too many people and he would give others the truth, which would affect the adults, so I can only thank the adults here." ” Liu Xujiao hurriedly stood up and drank all the tea in the cup, and then gently patted her on the arm, "There are a lot of people here, and there are some things that should not be said more, besides, the things I did were just a gesture, you really don't have to be like this." ” Jiang Xixi drank tea and sat down obediently, "I don't thank you for my great kindness, in the future, adults will be useful to my place, despite the orders, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I am willing to set foot for the adults." ” Liu Xuzhu smiled slyly, "I remember this, Miss Jiang shouldn't be tricky when she arrives." ” "Never break your word."
Jiang Xixi stretched out his little finger and put it on Liu Xujiao's little finger.
Liu Xujiao was a little distracted by her childish movements, there was sweetness in his heart, there was commotion, mixed together, making his mouth dry, and his heartbeat was a few beats faster, in order to hide his embarrassment, he withdrew his hand and coughed lightly, "Brother Cheng has also come to Bianliang?"
You're coming back to visit your family?
” "It's to solve the case."
"What kind of case, do you want to make a special trip to the capital for it?"
