Disaster For the Country · Return Journey - Chapter 26

Yi Fei walked along the stream of people until he arrived in front of Cheng Guo’s palace. Cheng Guo is rough and rough, the palace is built big and tall, not playing with carvings and embedding jade, it looks clumsy and simple.

Using human analogy, the palace of Bi State is like a beautiful woman from the south of the Yangtze River with rich and beautiful decorations, everything is exquisite from head to toe; There are a variety of magic weapons; the palace of the Yan Kingdom looks like a calm and self-sufficient young man, dressed in black and unsmiling. And Cheng Guo’s palace is like a powerful warrior, beating his chest and shouting “Let’s fight if you don’t accept it”.

Yi Fei stared at the palace in front of him, and couldn’t help but think: In fact, it is a perfect match for his father. And the father’s four children, Linsu, Tahaoyishu, are not like him. Perhaps only Han Qi has inherited such a bit of ambition, but unfortunately he is a dwarf.

He fled for a year and hid in the imperial palace of the country of Bi. After experiencing the completely different cultural atmosphere of the same journey, he came back to see his own imperial capital and felt a little strange.

This place does not seem to be his home, and it is out of tune with him.

While thinking, Yi Fei withdrew his gaze and continued walking with the crowd without stopping outside the palace gate. In the past few days, as the husband-selecting feast is about to begin, Luwan has also begun to practice martial law. According to what Xue Cai said, Yishu had already guessed that he would come back, and laid a net in Beijing. But the guards in the city are still the same as before and have not been upgraded. What is the reason?

Walk west along Suzaku Avenue, not far away is a very exquisite house—especially compared with the imperial palace, it is too exquisite.

There is a seal on the door. It is reasonable to say that this kind of sealed house should be dusty and ruined because no one cleans it. However, Luwan is near the sea, the sea breeze blows all year round, and there is little dust and sand, so it still looks bright and clean.

It looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who is very attractive without dressing up, standing there pretty, when Yi Fei walked by the door, she tilted her head, showing a naive and curious look: “Why don’t you come in?” ? You are back…”

yes come back.

This house was the former residence of the Third Prince Cheng. All the houses in it were built on a big tree and did not land on the ground.

But now, although the gate of the courtyard has not changed its color, the big tree inside has been cut down by Yishu.

Yi Fei rubbed his face, to get rid of the emotion that should not have been aroused by that tree, and continued to walk forward.

After about another cup of tea, I arrived at Yundi’s mansion. There was still a group of people gathered in front of the door, and they were still relatives and slaves of Ma Tuesday’s family, but because Yun Xingxian rushed out to beat up a group of people in the morning, the current group of people just sit quietly and stop clamoring, which is quite Quiet.

The setting sun leaves only the last ray of light, night is coming soon, don’t these people go back?

Just as Yi Fei thought of this, something flew towards him. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but in the end he didn’t, so the thing hit one of his sleeves and bounced to the ground—it turned out to be a peanut.

Yi Fei turned his head towards the source of the peanuts, and saw Yun Shanshan.

It’s just that he was also wearing a bamboo hat, and he was sitting furtively astride a roadside carriage.

The two people wearing bamboo hats met, and Yun Xingshan gave him the peanuts in his pocket, while continuing to stare bitterly at the people outside his house.

Yi Fei peeled a peanut and chewed it: “Your brother ordered you not to eat it again?”

“See it?”

“Then why don’t you just stay in the mansion and look angry here?”

“Rather than not knowing anything in the mansion, it’s better to watch them here. Tell me, why did they recognize that Ma Fu and Zhou Xiaolian are in my brother’s hands?”

“Hmm… there are spies?”

“Let me find out which one it is, and he’ll be dead!” Yun Shanshan bit a peanut hard with a loud click.

Yi Fei shuddered inexplicably, and returned the remaining peanuts to him: “Then you keep watching. I will continue to patrol.”

“Where’s your good friend?” Yun Shanshan still doesn’t know the true identities of Yi Fei and Qiu Jiang, and always thinks that they are Ding Sansan and Qi’er from Ruyimen, who are his brother’s helpers.

The corners of Yi Fei’s mouth twitched slightly after hearing this, this person really didn’t know which pot to open and which pot to lift, so he didn’t answer, just waved his hands casually and left.

At this time, the setting sun had completely sunk, and night had enveloped the earth. Yun Xingshan tossed the peanuts away, got up and prepared to go back home to have dinner first, and then came out to monitor.

Therefore, he happily climbed over the wall. After several times, the swordsmen supported him and managed to climb over. Then he happily prepared to go to the dining room. When he passed by Yundi’s yard, he found that there was a light in the study. I wanted to ask my brother to have dinner together.

Finally, he happily pushed open the door of the study: “Brother…”

Then, his voice got stuck on the word.

***

This night in Luwan, there is no moon and no stars.

The sky is like an impenetrable black cloth, covering the earth. In comparison, the human light is so small that nothing can be seen clearly.

Yuan Su stood on the highest floor of the Star Observation Tower, looking at the starless night, and sighed: “The sky is like an image, good or bad. But if the sky does not have an image…what should I do?”

He turned around with his hands behind his back, and every step he took was extraordinarily dignified.

When he arrived at Deyu, he saw four veiled girls, his gaze passed over their eyes one by one, and he asked, “Where’s Yangyang?”

Yangyang is the girl with a nice voice.

The four shook their heads quickly: “We don’t know.”

Yuan Su seemed to have thought of something, lowered his eyes and said, “That’s all.” Then he bent down and went up to the house, and returned to the mansion.

His mansion in Luwan was Yishu’s former princess mansion. After Yishu promoted him as a national teacher, he gave him his former mansion—this is also one of the evidences that proves that he is the queen’s guest.

“Look, even the former Princess Mansion was rewarded to him, how favored he is.”

Yuan Su had heard about such remarks, but never paid attention to them.

He walked into the bedroom—this was also Yishu’s former boudoir. Now all the furniture and decorations inside have been removed, and the four squares are empty, only the magic utensils are placed on the ground.

The array is placed on the ground at the door, and it is easy to step on it if you don’t pay attention when you come in.

The magic weapon is very simple, a wooden sword, two red wires, three copper plates, and four lamps.

The lamps are placed in the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and the red wires are connected diagonally. The copper plate is placed flat on the wires, which looks like a triangle, but it is crooked.

Seeing the three crooked copper plates, Yuan Su frowned, then turned his head sharply, staring at the dark corner: “Come out!”

A footstep sounded, walking out from the corner.

It was a pale young man with two big dark circles on his thin face, and he looked exhausted from lack of sleep all the year round.

“You’re here.” Seeing that it was him, Yuan Su squatted down and put the copper plate back in its place. The young man looked at his actions curiously, and said, “Am I not in the right position? It’s clearly in the exact same position as you left.”

“no the same.”

“What’s the difference?”

“It’s different anyway… What are you here for? You don’t have anything to do here, you should be on your way back to Yan.”

The young man’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly stepped forward to hold his hand and said, “Come with me!”

Yuan Su frowned again.

“The big vendetta will be avenged immediately, and now it’s time to withdraw, you and I will return to Yan, and stay away from all this from now on.”

Yuan Su looked at him calmly, then slowly withdrew his hand, “It’s not really revenge if I didn’t see Mrs. Ruyi die.”

“She will definitely come to Luwan tomorrow, maybe she is already here now. As long as she comes, she won’t be able to leave!”

“I don’t take it for granted. I only trust my own eyes.”

“Are you crazy?” the young man said angrily, “Are you going to die with them?”

Yuan Su stopped talking.

The young man jumped anxiously, but there was nothing he could do, and finally said bitterly: “Then I won’t leave either!”

Yuan Su said: “Alright.”

“What, what?” The young man was surprised and surprised.

“You have done so many acts of betrayal for me. Even if your master is stupid and didn’t realize it, you will inevitably be held accountable when we reunite in the underground after a hundred years. You are buried here with me, so you should repay his kindness.”

The young man’s expression changed, and finally he cursed: “I’m sick!” After saying that, he left without looking back.

Yuan Su watched his back disappear, smiled lightly, not knowing whether to laugh at that person or himself, and then gently closed the door.

He sat cross-legged in the formation, staring at the three copper plates, his eyes were heavy, but he was emotionless.

“the last night…”

“What will happen?”

However, the night in Luwan City passed peacefully in the end, and nothing happened.

The next day, the sun rose from the sea level early, announcing to the world that the ninth day of September has arrived.

***

On this day, the people in Luwan all woke up early and waited outside the palace gate to watch the excitement.

The first person to come was Yang Shuo, still riding alone, very free and easy. Yesterday’s duel between him and his father had spread all over Luwan, so seeing him coming, the crowd started booing, some praised him, and some booed him.

He didn’t care, folded his arms and let the horse walk on its own. The brown horse was also smart, and walked into the gate of the palace as if knowing its way, and went in.

What followed was Feng Xiaoya’s characteristic black carriage—the Jiuxian ship sank, and this carriage was delivered by the maids in silver armor on another ship.

The car door is still closed, Feng Xiaoya is still stingy to prevent the world from seeing him. Everyone could only continue to watch the silver armored maids pass the time.

The crowd began to discuss: “Is Xiang Xue in this car?”

“No! My neighbor’s second aunt said that she saw Xue Cai riding a horse to the vegetable market to drink soy milk early in the morning.”

“What? He didn’t come with Mr. He?”

“A child, he is afraid of being hungry, and there are many rules in the palace. I guess he will come back when he is full.”

“I heard that Master Hu is not coming? Is it true?”

“I heard that he was struggling to get up this morning, but the doctors jointly held him down.”

“He is really old-hearted… It’s a pity that he doesn’t have that life!”

“By the way, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhou haven’t been found yet?”

“No. People from the Ma family and Zhou family are still blocking the Yunfu. I don’t know if Yun Xing can get out.”

“So, Yang Shuo is the only candidate for Cheng Guo?”

As soon as I said this, a green cloth soft sedan chair appeared at the other end of the long street, with the word “Wang” written on the lantern of the sedan chair.

“Hey, Wang Yuheng’s injury seems to be healed, but here he is!”

Everyone booed: “Young Master Wang, Young Master Wang, show your face!”

The car curtain was lifted, and sitting inside was a black, thin and strong young man, with eyebrows cut like a knife and lips carved like a sword, with a face that was born to be unapproachable to idlers. He clasped his hands silently to everyone, and then put down the curtain again.

“I heard that Wang Yuheng has a girl he likes, and he doesn’t want to marry the queen, so he intentionally finds someone to compete in martial arts and hurt himself. Now it seems that he hasn’t managed to beat his mother. His mother is better than Yang Shuo’s father.”

“That is, all the men in the Wang family are short-lived. He is the only one in this generation. Mrs. Wang has worked so hard to bring him up. The prince is a filial child… But tell me, what’s wrong with our queen? This two Damn, why are you pushing three and four?”

“The queen is indeed beautiful, that’s the one, it’s too indulgent…”

“Pfft! It’s normal for a man to be the emperor, the Sangong and the Sixth Court, but the queen is said to be indulgent if she is only a few male favorites? Why?” It was a burly woman who said this. The men next to him stopped there and said nothing more.

Fortunately, at this time, the much-anticipated Yun Shining appeared on the stage, and as soon as he made his appearance, he attracted everyone’s attention—

I saw him sitting on a huge carriage. If Yifei had been present, he would have discovered that it was originally his carriage “Zouwu”, with a total of 24 pairs of wheels, pulled by 24 horses, and it was extremely ostentatious.

The car body is divided into two parts, the first half is a platform, on which several musicians are sitting, playing and singing, with great momentum. The four doors of the rear compartment were all open, and sixteen or seventeen swordsmen in black sat cross-legged with serious faces.

And Yun Xingxing sat on the roof of the car, wearing a golden crown and a golden robe, shining brightly when the sun shines on her.

One person covered his eyes and said, “I’m going blind!”

Everyone followed and looked away, not daring to look directly.

Yun Xingshan felt quite majestic, and was even more proud, waving at everyone frequently. When he was approaching the palace gate, he suddenly raised his hand and made a stop motion, the musicians stopped immediately, and the carriage also slowed down.

A swordsman carried a box up to the roof of the car, and respectfully placed it beside Yun Shanshan.

Yun Xingshan opened the box, grabbed a large handful of copper coins from it, and threw it casually, causing a lot of scrambling immediately.

He just walked forward while throwing money like that, and laughed loudly: “The old man riding the elephant, see? I am so rich, my lord! When I become the king’s husband, I will go to your house to throw money. I’m just asking you if you agree—”

“Submit! The Second Young Master is mighty!” The common people robbed money while applauding.

The ostentatious Yun Xingshan finally entered the palace gate. The streets that were boiling because of him became calm again. Everyone waited for a while, but Xue Cai still didn’t come.

“Why isn’t Xiang Xue coming? The time is coming soon.”

“I just sent someone to look at the vegetable market, and said that he is still watching the piano in a certain piano shop.”

“No way? You still watch the piano after ordering this? Isn’t he coming?”

“Who knows? Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be, he has come to Luwan…”

***

When everyone was still discussing whether Xue Cai would come or not outside the palace gate, Feng Xiaoya had already bent down and got off the carriage, and entered the banquet hall under the guidance of the maid.

He went in alone, while the girl in silver armor and Meng Jiao stayed outside the hall.

The interior of the hall is very luxuriously furnished, with a total of eight guest couches. On the last couch in Dongshou, Yang Shuo was lying crookedly drinking his own food. When he saw him coming, he didn’t get up and just raised his glass.

Feng Xiaoya was ushered to the first couch in Xishou, and saw that the dishes on the table were all his favorite vegetarian dishes, and the wine that was paired with it was even more special, with the label of “Returning” on it—it was Autumn. The wine brewed by Jiang’s so-called parents when he was in Yan.

The wine house was burned down, and the wine was gone. I don’t know where Yishu got the pot of wine. And she was clearly telling him—look, I know a lot about you…

Feng Xiaoya lowered her eyes, lifted the altar and poured herself a glass calmly, and took a sip. Frankly speaking, he has never drank Guilaixi’s wine, so he can’t tell the real from the fake, he only feels that the taste of the wine is pungent and strong. Qiu Jiang must like it.

Yang Shuo looked at him, and suddenly said: “What kind of wine do you have? Can you give me some?”

Feng Xiaoya signaled the maid to take the wine jar. The maid poured Yang Shuo a glass, and Yang Shuo took a sip. Seeing that the maid was holding the wine jar to go back, she quickly held it down: “This wine is not bad! Are you willing to give up?”

Before Feng Xiaoya could answer, Yun Xingshan rushed in yelling: “If you can’t give it to him, you can’t give it to him! What right does this kind of treacherous villain have to drink your wine, give it to me, let me drink it.”

He didn’t come in by himself, but he was dragging another person, which was Wang Yuheng. Wang Yuheng was so good-looking that no one should enter, but at this moment, he was holding his hand tightly, with a look of lovelessness on his face.

Yun Shining rushed to Yang Shuo’s couch, and wanted to take the altar of wine. Yang Shuo gently tugged and tugged, Yun Shining screamed, and his right hand drooped feebly—dislocated.

Wang Yuheng on the side frowned, but clicked again, and connected it to him.

But in just one breath, Yun Xingshan was in pain, her face turned pale.

“You you you…” He glared at Yang Shuo angrily, but he didn’t dare to reach out his hand again.

Yang Shuo raised his glass and smiled at him: “First come, first come first, Second Young Master is reasonable.”

“What’s the point of talking to a villain like you?” Yun Xingshan immediately turned her head to Feng Xiaoya and said, “Quick, let him return the wine to you. The Queen specially prepared the wine for you. Why? Cheap him for nothing?”

Feng Xiaoya had been with this **** for a few days, but she didn’t dislike his style of sowing discord, so she looked at Yang Shuo and said, “I’ll give you the wine. How about returning the jar to me?”

Yang Shuo picked up the jar curiously and looked at it: “Come back? Good name.” He raised his neck and drank all the wine in it in one breath, and then threw the jar, spinning and flying towards Feng Xiaoya.

This throw seems to be an understatement, but it actually implies internal strength, if the throw is not good, it will definitely be injured.

Seeing the wine jar flew in front of Feng Xiaoya, before he moved, a white light shot from behind the screen, hit the wine jar with a ding, and flew towards Feng Xiaoya’s shoulder, nailing the wine jar. on the wall behind him.

The wine jar is not broken, and the white light is fading away, but it is a spear – the whole body is white, except for a little red cherry on the tip of the gun, it is extremely dazzling red, it is a beautiful spear.

As a person who also uses guns, Yun Xingshan couldn’t recognize this gun. To be exact, no one in the entire Cheng country did not know this gun. Because it’s the queen’s gun.

Yishu is here!

The screen was removed by the ladies of the court, and a heavy gold silk curtain hung behind it. Behind the curtain was the main seat, and a graceful figure was outlined on the seat, which was Yishu.

Yishu smiled and said, “There’s a lot of wine here, so don’t fight for it.” After clapping his hands, a group of court ladies came into the palace with the wine jars in their arms, and they all said “I’m back”.

Yun Xingyan pulled Wang Yuheng to his seat, poured a glass of it to taste, and squirted it out after tasting it, choking non-stop: “It’s so spicy, so spicy!” Immediately, he picked up a big mouthful of vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth. Want to stop spicy.

Wang Yuheng on the side moved his lips, as if he wanted to stop him, but he didn’t have time. As soon as Yun Shining’s dish was in his mouth, he felt a volcano erupt in his body, and his hair stood on end. Looking at the dish again, there were thin slices of green asparagus on top, and a thick layer of mustard on the bottom. Because they are all green, they cannot be distinguished at a glance.

With such strong wine and mustard, within just one more breath, Yun Xingshan was overwhelmed by the spiciness, and her pale face turned pink.

The maid at the side couldn’t help covering her lips and laughing: “I heard that Mr. Yun Er likes spicy food, so all the dishes prepared for you are spicy.”

Yun Xingshan couldn’t help thinking of the time when he forced Ding Sansan to eat spicy food on the boat, and thought, could this be the legendary reward for the world?

At this moment, a bell rang in the distance—it was time. It also means that the husband selection banquet has officially started.

But looking at the eight couches, only half of them are occupied. I don’t know what the queen behind the curtain thinks, her face must be ugly.

However, even if Yishu was upset, she would not show it. She chuckled and said, “Thank you for coming so far. I wrote a poem specially for today’s banquet.” After saying that, they clapped their hands, and the two The palace lady walked in carrying a piece of silk that was half the height of a person, and showed the words on it to the four people.

Yun Xingshan immediately read it aloud: “A generation is a couple in a lifetime, either gain or lose or float. Half awake and half dreaming in the real world, who knows and who forgets how to ecstasy.” After reading, she commented in her heart: It’s really sour.

It’s terrible that the queen learns from the women in the boudoir to write sour poems like spring grievances.

In fact, Yun Xingshan had a good impression of Yishu, because she also uses guns. Therefore, he was very happy that his brother let him run for the election. After all, it would be a great honor to marry the Queen as his wife! After witnessing Yishu’s shot from behind the screen just now, he feels that he has found a like-minded person. When he saw this poem, a basin of cold water was poured down, which made his hot body wake up a little bit.

The biggest headache in his life is reciting poems against each other. What if the queen wants to confront him every day after marriage?

The court ladies came forward and actually placed a set of the Four Treasures of the Study on everyone’s case.

Yun Xing said in a trembling voice: “This, is this for us… to continue writing?”

Yishu chuckled behind the curtain. An old maid beside the curtain said for her: “Your Majesty would like to ask you three questions. The first: What is the best thing you have gained in this life? The second: What is the most painful thing you have lost in this life? The third one: If you could live again, what would you do? Please write it down on paper.”

Yun Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief, it’s fine not to write poems. He immediately picked up his pen and wrote without thinking: “I have a good brother. I haven’t lost anything. It would be good to live again and be like this now. Of course, it would be better if my mother lived longer…”

***

While the four candidates for husband were writing vigorously in the hall, another candidate for husband was strolling under the eyes of everyone on Yunxiang Street.

This person is of course Xue Cai who walks the talk. If you say you don’t give face to the queen, you won’t give the queen face, if you say it, you will come out for a walk.

He first took a look at the closed Cai’s shop, then went to the piano store to buy a piano, and after the boss sent it to the post station, he went into a clothing store. His arrival flattered and frightened the bosses.

But Xue Cai just looked at it, and left after seeing it, with no expression on her plain face.

Finally, there was something good in the crowd who couldn’t help shouting and asked: “Xue Xiang, why don’t you enter the palace yet?”

Xue Cai turned to look at him, the man hastily retracted his neck and hid behind the others.

Another aunt boldly scolded: “What are you going to do? Marrying a wife at such a young age will shorten your life!”

Xue Cai seemed to be taken aback, then smiled shyly and entered a teahouse.

“Oh my God, he’s smiling! So cute!”

“How can he be so cute?!”

“So, after all, it’s a child…”

Inside the teahouse, Xue Cai went up to the second floor and shut out all the people’s discussions.

In the huge private room on the second floor, there was already a person sitting down, making tea with his head bowed. The fragrance of tea is overflowing and the white smoke is curling up, which makes this person look like a banished fairy.

When Xue Cai sat down in front of him, the cup of tea was brewed to 80% full. He picked it up and took a sip, looked at the crowd of onlookers downstairs who still refused to leave through the half-opened window, and said calmly, “Aren’t you afraid of being recognized if you still meet me at this time?”

“It’s just at this time that I want to meet you. It’s a thousand miles away.”

Xue Cai looked a little surprised: “Why do you say that?”

“Some things are out of our control…or in other words, we have ignored them from the very beginning.” The tea maker said as he put down the teacup and raised his head. His face was as beautiful as jade. Product from the purpose.

***

When the clock rang, the Habayashi army of the palace was handing over. Yi Fei was wearing a bodyguard uniform and mixed in the crowd, watching the team leader hand over the badge, counting the number of people, and changing guards after confirming that they were correct.

In the past year, Yishu has almost replaced all the Habayashi soldiers, and he doesn’t want the old and ugly ones, so the handsome young man who looks like water is very pleasing to the eye. Because of this, everyone didn’t know each other very well, let alone the former Third Prince.

So everything went smoothly without any unexpected twists and turns.

The only thing is that it has been a long time since Yundi came, could it be that they were intercepted by people from the Ma family and Zhou family?

While thinking, Yi Fei followed the guards into the palace, and saw the lanterns and festoons in the Qiongchi Hall from a distance, where the husband selection banquet was held, and he didn’t know how Feng Xiaoya and the others were going.

Yi Fei’s team was in charge of patrolling around, he had calculated in advance that half an hour later they would arrive at the Qiongchi Palace, and the noon bell would ring at that time.

As soon as noon arrived, the palace was forced immediately.

There are three guards in Luwan: the Shenqi Army, the Habayashi Army and the Banner Army. The Divine Cavalry Army is stationed outside the city, and they are not allowed to enter the city at will. According to the reports of the spies he placed there, there is no abnormal movement in the Divine Cavalry Army at present. And the Yulin Army has been fully controlled by Yundi, just waiting for the bell to ring. In addition, there is only Yishu’s private soldier who was originally called the Suqi Army and is now renamed the Jinqi Army. There are not many people in the banner army, only more than a thousand people, and there are no more than a hundred people on duty. Now they are guarding outside the Qiongchi Hall. At that time, as long as these 100 people break into the palace and solve Yishu before the other banner troops come to support, the overall situation will be settled.

But, where will Yishu’s layout be? Since she had already guessed that she would come, there was no reason for her to open her door so wide and take no precautions.

Yi Fei couldn’t help but turned his head and glanced in the direction of Qiongchi Palace, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

***

“Ignore? What do you mean?” Seeing the walnuts on the table, Xue Cai reached out and took one, crushed it, peeled off the walnut meat, and pushed it in front of Pin Cong’s eyes.

If Yifei was here, he would definitely be shocked to see—Xue Cai actually peeled walnuts for others with his own hands! Apart from the dead Ji Ying and the current Empress Jiang Chenyu, how many times have I seen him serve others so willingly? Not to mention serving the leader of a human trafficker.

“Yuan Su claimed that there were ministers conspiring to rebel when watching the stars at night, causing panic in the court, but Yishu didn’t really pursue who. Then, what is the meaning of Yuan Suti’s words? This is one of them.”

Xue Cai pondered.

“I tested Yishu on the grounds that I shouldn’t see you, but Yishu seemed confident and didn’t worry at all. Why? If all the three armies fall into your hands, you will control the political situation in Luwan. Why not rush to escape? This is the second.”

Xue Cai listened attentively.

“I told her that Qi’er is back, and Mrs. Ruyi will be back too. It stands to reason that she hates Mrs. Ruyi so much, she can’t be indifferent. But these two days, Yishu still hasn’t moved. Why?”

Xue Cai put down his teacup and said, “If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. And we haven’t found out Yuan Su’s true identity yet.”

When Pin Congmu heard a flick of a finger, the waiter of the teahouse knocked on the door and came in, whispering something to him. Pin Congmu nodded and said, “Bring it here directly.”

The shop waiter went away in response.

Pin Congmu said to Xue Cai: “I am ambushing people outside Yuan Su’s mansion. I saw someone sneaking into Yuan Su’s room last night. After meeting him, I left in a hurry and went to the port to board a ship. My people were chasing after him at sea. It took a long time to catch up and catch him back.”

“From this population, can we learn Yuan Su’s secret?”

“hope so.”

Not long after, the shop waiter brought him over. It was a young man with a low spirit and an ordinary appearance, his mouth was gagged by a five-flower tie.

Pin Congmu personally stepped forward to remove the cloth ball from his mouth, and said with a smile, “Shall we talk?”

The man’s eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: “There is nothing to talk about, I don’t know anything!”

Pin Congmu said: “It’s okay. You just need to introduce yourself. Although I can find out in a few days, but if you tell me now, everyone can save some trouble.”

“I won’t say anything!” The young man tightly closed his mouth, and even closed his eyes, with a look of reticence.

Pin Congmu sighed, and was about to snap his fingers, when Xue Cai who was beside him suddenly said, “I know who he is.”

As soon as this remark came out, not only Pin Congmu was surprised, but the young man also opened his eyes and stared at Xue Cai in a daze.

Xue Cai smiled at him: “Three years ago, when I was on a mission to the Kingdom of Yan, in addition to seeing the King of Yan, I also had a good time in Yujing. During the period, I went to the Qiulu Pavilion.”

The young man’s face suddenly turned pale.

“At that time, Mr. Frog, who had always been proud of his talents, changed his normal routine and led his disciples out to greet me because he heard that King Yan had given me his carefully carved ice glass.”

The young man’s face turned even paler.

Xue Cai narrowed her eyes slightly, as if in deep thought, and the smile on her lips deepened little by little: “The sixth row, counting from the left, the seventh, uh, eighth, the eighth disciple is you.”

The young man started to tremble, and Xue Cai’s next words made him jump up all of a sudden: “Old Frog called you halfway, and your name seems to be… Changqi?”

The young man jumped up and was about to pounce on Xue Cai, when something flew out of Mu Mu’s sleeve and slapped around his neck.

“Don’t move around. Otherwise your neck will fall off.” Pin Congmu still spoke softly.

But Meng Changqi didn’t dare to move anymore, he didn’t even dare to tremble, for fear that the silk thread, which was sharper than the blade of a knife, would slip into his flesh. He stared straight at Xue Cai, and said in a hoarse voice: “Monster!”

Xue Cai was only six years old back then, and he was just a very ordinary member of the Qiulu Pavilion disciples, so he could remember him just because of this, what is it if it is not a monster? !

“With the name, you can look it up.” Xue Cai put away her smile and said lightly.

Pin Congmu snapped his fingers and told the waiter in the store to check.

Meng Changqi suddenly laughed, and wept while laughing, with an indescribably weird appearance: “It’s late. Even if you find anything now, it’s too late!”

Xue Cai glanced at him: “Be careful with the wire.”

With just those four words, Meng Changqi immediately stopped all his voices and expressions.

Pin Congmu walked to the window and looked out. The street was still lively and the sun was still shining brightly. Except for the hotter weather, there seemed to be nothing strange about it. However, his expression suddenly froze, and when he turned his head to look at Meng Changqi again, he seemed a little terrified: “The heat itself is a kind of weirdness.”

Especially when it is connected with Qiulu Pavilion.

In Qiongchi Hall, the answers of the four people were all written, and they were accepted by the maid.

Yishu behind the curtain flipped through the pages one by one, his slow movements made Yun Shining scratch his heart like a kitten, and couldn’t help but ask, “Your Majesty, what did they write?”

The old palace lady smiled and said, “The answer to the questions His Majesty asks is of course only His Majesty can know.”

Yun Xingxing snorted, and asked again: “Then, Your Majesty, what do you think of my writing?”

The old maid smiled again: “Second Master Yun, don’t worry. Stay safe and don’t be impatient.”

Yun Xing opened a pair of big eyes and stared at her eagerly. The old maid couldn’t help but wondered: “Why is Second Master Yun looking at this slave like this?”

“You are a nanny who loves to laugh, which is different from others. In the past, the nanny in the palace didn’t dare to laugh.”

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the other three candidates turned to the old maid at the same time.

The old lady’s complexion changed slightly. Yun Xingshan didn’t know what kind of words she said, and when she was still looking forward to the queen’s quick results, a black shadow passed by, and Feng Xiaoya who was sitting on the couch moved.

Immediately after, Yang Shuo also moved.

The two flicked towards the gold silk curtain one after the other.

The old palace maid exclaimed, before she had time to say anything, the gauze curtain was torn off by Feng Xiaoya, the woman on the main seat looked up in horror, followed by Yun Xingshan’s even more shocked voice: “Who are you? Where is Your Majesty?!”

The person sitting behind the curtain was not Yishu at all, but a court lady who was very similar to her and could imitate her speech.

At the same time, a distant bell rang—dang dang dang dang, six o’clock, it was noon.

The Yulin Army just happened to be patrolling outside the Qiongchi Hall, and Yi Fei was still thinking about how to attack, when he heard exclamations from inside the hall. Everyone rushed in immediately.

The bannermen guarding the queen also rushed in.

For a while, Wanda’s hall was filled to the brim.

“Who are you? Where’s Your Majesty?” Yun Xingshan’s words echoed everyone’s thoughts—where did Yishu go? !

Yi Fei’s heart sank—is this Yi Shu’s situation? The queen chooses her husband, but the queen herself disappears, and the palace is equivalent to an empty city. No matter how powerful the Habayashi Army that surrounded Kongcheng was, it was useless.

Yi Fei’s eyes froze, and he immediately decided: No! Not only that! The empty city is just the first step. Yishu must retaliate, and there must be a counterattack afterwards.

When it was hot and connected with Qiulu Pavilion, the first thing that jumped out of Xue Cai and Pin’s minds was the same thing – gunpowder!

In order to open canals, Yan Guo invented gunpowder for mountain opening on the basis of Lan Yan. Last year, Yishu even used gunpowder to blow up the Katydite Mountain. So, what about the palace?

Xue Cai and Pincong looked at each other, and they knew the answer – that lunatic Yishu must be able to blow up the palace.

Xue Cai jumped over and grabbed Meng Changqi’s collar, and said in a deep voice, “Where is the gunpowder buried?”

Meng Changqi grinned, but did not answer.

Xue Cai narrowed his eyes, and a coldness flashed in his eyes, then let him go, turned around and looked at him, and said, “Hold the door on the left and right.”

After thinking about it for a while, Pin Congmu agreed with his speculation: “It is very likely.”

He was about to snap his fingers when he heard two loud noises in the distance—from the direction of the palace.

“The moon invades too slightly, go out from the south gate, the sparrows will fly, the bee swarms will move, and the left and right gates will be shaken.” For a moment, all the people in Luwan thought of the state teacher Harajuku three days ago. prophecy.

Of course, the guards in Qiongchi Hall also thought of this immediately.
