bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 393 Squatting Rare

Han Dongwen has a palace in Haizhou.

To be precise, the owner of this palace is Wenjun's father, Jingzong. The palace was built very early. Since Zhong Sheng lost his army in Haizhou, Han Dongwen had no chance to go there.

Now it seems that the location of this palace is far from the most prosperous place in Haizhou. It is more like a remote resort, located in the back mountain of the headquarters of the Haizhou National Army Division.

If His Highness comes to Haizhou in person, then it is more likely that he will directly live in the more luxurious National Military Division Headquarters than this Li Palace.

But obviously Yang Churan has no such plan.

Tonight, Zhong Lilin and Xiaohong were placed in the Li Palace on the hill behind the Jingbu headquarters.

Compared with the so-called palace, this place seems more like a back garden of the headquarters of the Jingbu Division of the National Army at this time, where fallen leaves and dead branches can be seen as far as the eye can see.

"These courtyards should also be cleaned, and these pillars, I don't know how long they haven't been repaired."

Xiao Hongdou stood in front of the pavilion, looking around with worry:

"Also... I don't know anything else, but isn't there not enough guards on duty at night? Please write this down too..."

Yi Chengcheng, who was following Xiaohongdou, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I've written this down too—I said Sister Xiaohongdou, I thought it was fun for the two of us to come out this time, why are you worried? Do you have more things to do than Mi Niangniang?"

Xiaohongdou sighed, then turned to look at Yi Chengcheng:

"Since we have work in hand, we should do it well, or else..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind her.

The two maids looked back, only to realize that it was Zhong Lilin who was holding a jade flute in his hand, walking towards the atrium.

"I've seen Master Supervisor." The two bowed their heads and bowed in unison.

"I thought there was no one here, and I was planning to play a few tunes. Why, what are you doing here without resting at this late hour?"

Zhong Lilin said with a smile.

Xiaohongdou told her what His Royal Highness told her to do, unexpectedly Zhong Lilin laughed twice after hearing it, and looked helplessly at the thick notebook in the hands of Xiaohongdou and Yi Chengcheng.

"Don't you know that His Highness is here to let you out of the palace to play? Take a good rest when you should. Why are you still so tired?"

After hearing what Zhong Lilin said, Yi Chengcheng quickly nodded frantically and said:
"That's right, Sister Hongdou, you are almost becoming the most popular person in Yingchun Palace now, there is no need to be so dedicated, right?"

"What's red or not, Yingchun Palace taught you this?" Xiaohongdou pretended to be angry and glared at her.

Yi Chengcheng stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "The most important thing that Yingchun Palace taught me is to be taken advantage of endlessly! Even His Highness dotes on my sister, why are you so tired? Besides, the work we do It's nothing serious, right?"

Xiaohongdou looked at Yi Chengcheng and Zhong Lilin who were all smiling, and sighed in frustration.

"Hey, I...how come I don't know that these things don't matter?"

Looking at the notes in Yi Chengcheng's hands, Xiao Hongdou's tone became sad: "His Royal Highness has more and more things to do, and he is getting busier and busier. He often spends the whole night reading and reading books, and he can't rest for long during the day. I But I can only write down a few notes by staring at the height of the steps, if I can help His Highness with something else..."

Her voice gradually faded away.

"If... it can help with other things, it would be much..."

Perhaps she also knew that this was something that was not for the court ladies. If she worried about it, she would inevitably be suspected of presumptuousness, so she didn't say it.

Fortunately, both Zhong Lilin and Yi Chengcheng were not unfamiliar with Xiaohongdou, they looked at each other and laughed helplessly.

"go back!"

A stern voice suddenly pierced the quiet night sky.

The three of them froze for a moment, and immediately turned their heads to look at the source of the voice—the main entrance of Li Palace.

There should be soldiers from the National Army Division guarding it. During the day, they are officers and soldiers from the Xiu Department, and at night they are officers and soldiers from the Jing Department.

"What's wrong?" Yi Chengcheng was a little scared.

The voice from that direction is getting louder and louder, it sounds quite chaotic and noisy, and one can tell that the number of people will definitely not be small.

Zhong Lilin's expression suddenly became serious, and he raised his hand to stop the two maids from behind:
"Don't move forward, I'll go and have a look."

After he finished speaking, he quickly walked forward. Yi Chengcheng and Xiao Hongdou looked at each other, then lifted their skirts slightly, and followed Zhong Lilin seven or eight steps behind.

The source of the noise was getting closer and closer, and the night sky at the main entrance could already be seen lit up like day by torches.

Crowds, hundreds of people!

More than a dozen guards stood in front of those who were holding torches and were about to enter the palace. The swords in their hands had been unsheathed for warning, but it still seemed difficult to stop the crowd from moving forward.

"I want to see the boss!"

"Give me a look at the chief!"

"Director! Here I come!"

Among the chaotic shouts, Zhong Lilin vaguely heard these few words.

Director?

What general manager?

He glanced at the guards guarding the door again, and suddenly gasped in fright.

Where are those guards?
Those guarding the gate of the palace should always be elite soldiers who stand against a hundred, and the threshold for selection among the Xiubu is to start with a hundred cavalry generals.

But the one guarding the gate of the palace at this moment is not the Jingbu Baiqi general who should be here at all, but a dozen or so ordinary disciples wearing Daqimen clothes!
"My lord, what's the matter?"

Xiao Hongdou and Yi Chengcheng rushed over and asked anxiously.

Zhong Lilin frowned:

"It seems to be aliens, they want to rush to the palace!"

"Strange person? Why?"

Little Red Dou was startled, and hurriedly listened carefully to the yelling of the crowd, and after understanding what they were yelling about wanting to see the chief executive, she said puzzledly, "What chief executive? What do they want to do?"

Zhong Lilin shook his head: "I don't know, maybe there is a mistake somewhere, spreading rumors and mistaking me, the cabinet inspector, as the chief of the national military department."

He looked back, and his expression became a little more serious: "Damn it, these Daqimen disciples are not good enough at all, they can't stop so many strangers, you guys quickly hide in the palace!"

"us……"

Yi Chengcheng was still hesitating, Xiao Hongdou grabbed her wrist and raised her head to ask Zhong Lilin, "What about you, Master Supervisor?"

Zhong Lilin gritted his teeth: "I'll try to negotiate with them and see what they want to do. In short, you hide first... No, you go out directly from the south gate of Li Palace. The guards of our Xiu Department are stationed in the Jing Department's headquarters tonight. , run towards the headquarters of the shock department!"

Running from the south gate of Li Palace to Jingbu General Camp, that is to pass through the back mountain of the entire general camp.

"My lord, you..."

"Master Zhong, you must also be careful!"

Yi Chengcheng wanted to say something else, but Xiao Hongdou had already grabbed her arm, and after admiring Zhong Lilin, she dragged her and ran towards Li Palace.

"Sister Hongdou?"

Yi Chengcheng asked in surprise: "We just ran away, where is Mr. Zhong?"

Xiao Hongdou stared straight ahead without even turning her head:
"If you ask us to guard, then no matter what, we can't give in, but if we can't help, we must be smart and don't become a drag!"

A strand of hair from the sideburns hung down from her nephrite-like cheeks, and as she ran briskly, it fluttered in the cold wind of the night sky.
