Chapter 65 Find him in the crowd
Chapter 65 Find him in the crowd
Chongyifang, the government office of Hongnong County.
There was a knock on the door.
Not long after, a beautiful woman opened the door.
"Madam Han?" Tuoba Mao asked in a low voice.
He knew that the woman in front of him was Yang Shenjin's concubine, Han Zhutuan. Yang Shenjin had countless concubines and hadn't touched her for many years.
"come in."
Han Zhutuan quickly stepped aside and put the six big men into the courtyard.
"Follow me and don't talk."
They moved quickly, walked quickly through the path, occasionally encountered other maidservants, Han Zhutuan said: "Something happened in the city, Jin Wuwei came to inspect."
After passing through the double gate, they entered an uninhabited deserted courtyard.
Han Zhutuan pushed open the door of a room in the courtyard, led six people in, and said in a low voice, "You guys wait here."
"Can I light a candle?"
"No, you take off your armor and wait. There are wine and meat on the table, drink by yourself."
After Han Zhutuan finished speaking, he walked out with his head down.
Fortunately, the moonlight was also bright on the night of Shangyuan. Jiang Hai looked at her back and praised in surprise: "This woman is so delicious, I like it."
Tuoba Mao said: "Mr. Pei is really amazing, he can arrange us here."
"Remove the armor, leave the evidence here, go back to Longyou."
"I haven't seen enough of Chang'an City, I really can't bear it."
The six people took off their armor and found several jars of wine on the ground. They couldn't help being overjoyed, but they didn't dare to drink more.
After a while, someone opened the door and came in, but it was Pei Mian.
"Mr. Pei, are you here?" Tuoba Mao was filled with emotion.
"Well, Yang Shenjin's family banquet, I came with Wang Ji." Pei Mian said calmly, "I will stop chasing the trash of the sixteen guards, and you can rest here for a night, and drink by yourself."
"Here."
"The talisman has been changed." Pei Mian stretched out his hand, took back the talisman given by Donggong from the six people, and handed them another six talismans.
Jiang Hai took it, and glanced at it in the moonlight. It was a pattern that he had never seen before. He couldn't understand it, so he just kept it.
"Mr. Pei, Shangyuanye, is my family okay?" Jiang Mao asked.
"You can rest assured."
Pei Mian glanced around, saw that there was nothing left, got up and left.
"Shangyuan Ye, take a good rest."
"Sir go slow."
Liu Quan relaxed, picked up a jar of wine, and poured it down.
Jiang Hai couldn't forget the charm of Hanzhutuan, he stood by the window and kept looking out...
~~
Pei Mian walked out of the desolate courtyard, and saw Han Zhutuan waiting at the gate of the courtyard, as soon as he saw him, he went up to greet him, and called out affectionately.
"Pei Lang."
Without saying a word, Pei Mian took Han Zhutuan to the bushes, and Dang even leaned over.
"Ugh..."
Han Zhutuan was immediately distracted and closed his eyes.
After a while, she closed her eyes completely.
Pei Mian gently put Han Zhutuan down, took the handkerchief from her hand, pressed the wound on her heart, and carefully pulled out the dagger to prevent blood from splashing out.
Hiding the corpse in the flowers and bushes, throwing away the dagger, he turned and left, returning to the front yard.
……
Tonight, Yang Shenjin had a big banquet for the clansmen, and the mansion was very lively.
Pei Mian returned to the lobby, leaned behind Yang Shenjin who was the leader, and said in a low voice, "Yang Zhongcheng, I still have some things to do."
"Don't rush away, I have something to tell you."
Yang Shenjin ordered lightly, got up and led Pei Mian to the back hall.
He has been a little troubled recently, because he has not cared about the treasury of the Taifu for the past two years, and Pei Mian discovered a big omission during the New Year's Eve, and he had to make up for it before the sage found out, so he was very short of money.
Not long ago, he took away his nephew Wang Chi's job, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
"Zhang Fu, your idea for me is very good." Yang Shenjin said slowly: "Since the first month, Fengweilou has really been making money every day."
"Yes, these will all belong to the Yang family's property in the future."
"Tonight's Xingqing Palace confession matter, you have to sort out one or two for me, don't show your flaws in front of the imperial court."
Pei Mian respectfully responded, and said: "I just want to go to You Xiang's mansion to discuss this matter with Li Shilang."
Yang Shenjin nodded, still upset in her heart.
If you don't want the hole in the Taifu treasury to be uncovered, after you recognize Xue Bai's son, you have to sell Fengweilou immediately.
Although the Fengwei Building has no two limelights nowadays, it only relies on the secret method of cooking. This secret method will be revealed sooner or later, and now is the most valuable time.
For the father, father and son who were personally witnessed by Yukou, if the word filial piety is suppressed, then the son will not be able to disobey.
"Zhang Fu, tell me, who has the financial resources to..."
"Alang!"
Suddenly, a nursing home hurried over and reported, "Someone is making trouble in the backyard!"
"Who dares to come to the mansion of Hongnong County to act presumptuously?"
"He called himself Xue Bai, and said that some thieves had hacked and injured the son of Xiangfu, and wanted the Jinwu Guards to search the courtyard."
Yang Shenjin couldn't help being stunned, thinking for a moment in her heart, but she never said that she would come to her home to recognize relatives.
Pei Mian frowned, the secret passage came too soon...
~~
"What movement?"
Lao Liang got up suddenly, pushed the door out of the house, and listened attentively in the courtyard.
He has excellent hearing and can hear the faint voice blowing from a distance by the night wind.
That sound seemed to be just the hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival...but it wasn't.
"Stop drinking."
Lao Liang turned back into the room, snatched the wine from Jiang Hai's hand, and said, "The Jinwu Guard has arrived."
"What are you afraid of? Mr. Pei asked us to leave a thread for indexing."
"Don't drink yet."
"Liu Quan, wake up."
Jiang Hai pushed Liu Quan, but failed to wake him up.
He stood up and shook his head, feeling dizzy for a while.
~~
Tonight, Guo Qianli, the Zhonghou of the Jinwu Guard, held his own little daughter to watch the floats on the watchtower of Chongyifang, using public favoritism for personal gain.
"Aye, the float is so beautiful...how about the float?"
"There will be more later, so don't worry, let's take a look at the lanterns over there first." Guo Qianli said, "Oh, everyone likes to sing Li Bai's poems. How come no one sings Li Bai's poems for me on the Lantern Festival?"
"Aye, my daughter can sing... Pingming brushes her sword and bows to the sky, and my aunt chases my uncle back with a whip."
"You sing really well, even better than Xu Hezi."
Guo Qianli smiled, and suddenly saw a young man asking questions from his people downstairs, so he quickly ordered the young man to be called up.
"Haha, it really is Mr. Xue Lang!"
"General Guo." Xue Bai said: "I want to teach you to know that tonight some thieves from the Jinwu Guard seriously injured the Young Master of the Xiangfu and fled into Chongyifang."
"I don't have an order and I'm busy."
Guo Qianli has also learned to be smart this time, and he only plans to take his daughter to watch the lanterns tonight.
However, thinking about it again, the one who was injured was the Young Master of the Xiangfu, so he couldn't be unresponsive, so he immediately called the two Jinwu guards and said: "Follow Mr. Xue Lang to take a look, don't cause trouble."
Xue Bai actually didn't care whether the prince of the Xiangfu was injured or not.
He just had a rough guess in his mind-the dead man in the East Palace suddenly committed the crime for no reason, leaving obvious clues to lead people to hunt him down, why?Putting blame on one person ended the big case involving the East Palace.
But who can undertake the treason case for Li Heng?There are not many people in Chang'an who have this qualification.
After entering Chongyifang, there was no trace of blood on the ground anymore, and the clues were completely broken.It can be seen that the other party only intends to let people find Chongyifang, but not a specific house.
If someone else came to investigate tonight, it might take a few days.
Pei Mian wanted to delay, so Xue Bai decided to catch him off guard.
He went directly to the largest house.
As long as his speculation is correct, the person who can undertake the treason case must live in the deep house compound.
"Whose house is that?"
"Hongnong County Government Office."
When Xue Bai pointed to a large house to ask questions and got an answer, a gust of cold wind happened to blow, sending a chill down his spine.
He quickly calmed down, thinking to himself, it was really right for him to prepare an extra way out.
After thinking for a moment, he simply strode to the back door of Yang Shenjin's house and knocked hard on the door.
"Open the door! The Jinwu Guard is chasing the murderer!"
If you just look at his aura, he feels like the son of the Hongnong County government is returning home.
~~
"presumptuous!"
Not long after Xue Baicai confronted the servants of the Yang family, an angry shout resounded in the courtyard.
Yang Shenjin came with a sullen face and hands behind his back, as if he really thought he was Xue Bai's father.
"Zhuzi! You are white, and you dare to mobilize the Chang'an imperial guards in the name of the right minister's mansion. You can know that you are overstepping?! This big crime, don't you hurry up?!"
"A murderer wearing armor and holding a crossbow, assassinating the prime minister's son in the street is no different from rebellion!" Xue Bai did not show any weakness, and shouted: "If we can get people tonight, they are just fleeing into Yang Zhongcheng's house. If we wait until tomorrow, it will be a way to protect the rebels." Sin, can you afford it?!"
This is an almost straightforward reminder.
He could no longer speak more and teach others.
If Yang Shenjin can understand, a crisis may disappear invisible...
"asshole!"
Yang Shenjin's face was stiff when he heard this, and he once again shouted in what he thought was a lesson to his son: "Are you still acting wild here?! Get off and ask the Prime Minister for your sins!"
"Old man!"
Xue Bai scolded back immediately, turned around and left without hesitation.
He had no right to search Yang Shenjin's house at all, the reason he came here was to see if the fire could be extinguished, and since it couldn't be extinguished, he immediately decided to cut it.
"outrageous!"
Yang Shenjin snorted coldly.
He became more and more worried, wondering whether this little beast realized that he had confessed his relatives in order to seek his property?
~~
"Liu Quan?"
Jiang Hai called out a few times, and finally realized something was wrong.
Enduring his dizziness, he leaned over and covered Liu Quan's mouth and nose with his hands, and he couldn't feel the slightest breath.
"died?"
"The wine...is poisonous..."
Jiang Hai cursed, barely stood up, and went to see Jiang Mao immediately.
"Brother?"
In fact, Jiang Mao didn't drink much, but his body was weak, and his face was already ashamed at this time, and he couldn't support his body after holding on for a few times, and there was a sense of sadness in his eyes.
"Walk……"
"Brother!"
"You go... hide it well... don't give your life to others..."
"Brother, I'll take you away, get up..."
Jiang Mao stretched out his hand, hugged his brother's head, and murmured: "I remember the war horse with a broken leg..."
Jiang Hai cried loudly.
Lao Liang was in the best condition. Looking down, he saw little Boss was foaming from his mouth, his beard was covered with thick beard, and his eyes were lifeless.
"He's dying...Tuoba...Can he still move?"
Tuoba Mao raised his head reluctantly, his eyes were full of unwillingness, his throat rolled twice before he spit out a word.
"Pei... old dog Pei... can't..."
At the end of the conversation, only the sound of "clack" remained.
Lao Liang got up cruelly, grabbed Jiang Hai, and staggered out with him on his back.
Both of them were men who were used to seeing life and death, so they immediately stopped talking and swallowed their grief and anger.
Lao Liang looked back for the last time, and suddenly thought of the boy who was buried alive outside the city.
Today, it turns out that everyone is the same ants.
Passing through the double courtyard, Lao Liang felt that Jiang Hai's body was getting heavier and heavier.
"Who?!" A servant in front asked.
Lao Liang lowered his head, recalled Xue Bai's method last time, and responded with his Longyou accent: "Shangyuan Festival, drunk..."
"Which company brought the part? How did you come around to the backyard?"
"I don't know the way, I want to go out."
"Hey, come with me, sober yourself up, don't spit in the courtyard."
Lao Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the hand holding the dagger in his arms.
He didn't expect that he could escape so smoothly, until the door opened with a "squeak".
Although there is an alley in front of you, you can see the prosperity of Chang'an through the whitewashed walls at the entrance of the alley.Whether it's the corpses on the frontier battlefield, or the treacherous plots under the court struggle...it seems that none of them can affect the prosperity of Chang'an Market.
Old Liang seemed to be fascinated.
He felt dizzy, and suddenly wanted to go to the Xingqing Palace to listen to Xu Hezi sing Daqu. He had been licking the blood all his life. If he was going to die, he would have to die in the brightly lit Shangyuan night in Chang'an, not in any gutter.
Walking forward for a while, at the entrance of the alley, a little lady was sneaking along with two Jinwu guards.
The armor of the two Jinwu guards clanged, and she didn't have to follow too closely to avoid losing them. She followed all the way to the entrance of the alley, and she looked out with her head, seeming a little confused.
Lao Liang lowered his head and once again pretended to be supporting a drunk...he succeeded once, and he was very confident.
The next moment, someone walked quickly behind him and walked towards the little lady. She was a young man with a tall and straight figure, and his back was somewhat familiar.
The boy quickly walked behind the little lady, and said, "Why are you following me?"
Hearing that voice, Lao Liang choked for breath, helped Jiang Hai to turn around and leave.
~~
"Why are you following me?"
Not long after Xue Baicai left Yang's house, he noticed that someone was following him, so he asked the two Jinwu guards to keep walking forward, while he gradually opened up the distance, and then came back from another alley, and he found the other party.But I didn't expect it to be a girl who looked rather weak.
Originally wanted to follow up, but saw her hesitate for a long time, not professional at all.
He simply stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
The girl standing at the entrance of the alley was startled and turned around.
Xue Bai immediately remembered that he had met her on the road just now.
"Chang'an Street is not yours alone, why did I follow you?"
The girl patted her heart, and after she calmed down, she was not afraid of him at all, and there was a bit of narrowness in her eyes.
Xue Bai asked, "Do you recognize me?"
"Are you famous in Chang'an? Why should I know you?"
"Don't follow me anymore." Sensing that she was not malicious, Xue Bai relaxed a little, and said, "Go home, it's dangerous here..."
At this moment, he relaxed his mind, and only then remembered that he felt a little strange when he caught a glimpse of those two figures from the back in the alley just now, so he turned his head and took a look.
In an instant, Xue Bai recognized Lao Liang and Jiang Hai.
He couldn't let them be taken, and would confess his murder, either silenced or protected.
"front."
Xue Bai spoke, trying his best to restrain his tone so as not to scare them.
"Don't go..."
Lao Liang ran away.
Xue Bai followed quickly, and said, "Are you injured? If you can't get away, I can help you..."
Lao Liang and Jiang Hai suddenly speeded up, and Xue Bai continued to follow.
After chasing for a while, there is a residential area ahead, and it is rare to see a dark alley.
Xue Bai slowed down, knowing that they were nearby.
He said calmly, "I can help you, but you have to trust me..."
Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the darkness.
Xue Bai stopped talking, turned around to look, and saw that the girl had followed him just now.
"do not come."
"what!"
A figure suddenly jumped out of the ditch beside the road and pulled the girl over.
The bright knife light flashed, and the dagger was already on her neck.
"Don't move, I'll kill her!" Lao Liang scolded.
"Don't get excited, I don't know her, and I wouldn't hurt you. Are you injured? Poisoned? I can help you..."
"Don't come up! You officials don't have a good thing, don't think I don't know what you want to do!"
"Speak softly, don't alarm others, what did you tell me?"
Lao Liang was still calm before, but when asked by his reassuring tone, he became excited immediately, and shouted at Xue Bai: "Dog officials, all are dog officials! When recruiting soldiers, they said that meritorious deeds will be rewarded... 59 people from the same village lived. One... Shuan Zi died in battle, why should he pay his rent?! Damn... the general said to stand up for us... where is the general?! I want to see the general!"
"Okay, okay." Xue Bai said: "I know you have been wronged, you should let go of her first, she is innocent, you are poisoned? Let's talk about how to detoxify..."
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded.
"He was poisoned."
It was the kidnapped girl who said: "The smell of alcohol is so strong, the poison is in the wine, and you have drunk a lot. You can't speak clearly, and you have difficulty swallowing... But you still feel dizzy and numb?"
Lao Liang didn't answer.
The girl said again: "You are poisoned by hook kisses, I know medicine and can save you."
"I don't believe it...and you, don't come here!"
But Xue Bai raised his hand and said: "In this way, if you hold me hostage, she can save you, okay?"
"you……"
Xue Bai kept walking, approached resolutely, looked straight into Lao Liang's eyes under the moonlight, and said, "If I don't want to help, I can drag you to death. Believe me or not? You choose yourself."
"Damn, Second Jiang is dying!"
Lao Liang finally put away the dagger. After watching Jiang Hai for so long, he didn't come out from behind Xue Bai, so he knew that he had passed out. He rushed to the dark alley to look for it, and he saw Jiang Hai lying there unconscious. .
He himself was very dizzy.
Xue Bai knelt down and sniffed Jiang Hai's breath, and asked, "How?"
"Let them spit it out first." The girl probably only had theoretical knowledge. She stomped her feet and turned around. Then she had an idea, raised her hand and said, "Give them the stinky water from the canal!"
Xue Bai had already picked up Jiang Hai, found a long object on the ground, pressed it on the base of his tongue, and at the same time pressed hard on his lower abdomen.
He still didn't forget to say to Lao Liang, "You pick it yourself."
"vomit!"
The smell of wine stinks for a while, but Jiang Hai is still awake.
The girl looked down in her purse under the moonlight and took out a handful of pills.
"This is the tonic I usually take. There are skullcap and licorice, which can be regarded as symptomatic. It can relieve one or two, but to detoxify, I still have to drink yellow soup."
"How many?"
"Well, let me think about it, let's eat it all."
Lao Liang finally sat up from the ground full of vomit, his mouth was full of bitterness, but his stomach was cool, he was not as suffocating as before, and he was able to catch his breath.
"Go, find a medical shop to buy medicinal materials."
Lao Liang got up with difficulty, helped Jiang Hai up with Xue Bai, and stumbled towards the long street. The girl looked down at her dirty clothes, and almost wanted to cry, so she held back and ran a few steps to keep up Xue Bai.
The four turned around the long street, still pretending to be drunk, and walked all the way to Dongshi.
……
The East Market seemed to be boiling tonight.
All the shops are open, and there are various performances in the middle of the street, such as acrobatics, sumo wrestling, and circus, and the crowd cheers from time to time.
On the high platform in the distance, there were people dancing firebirds. When I looked up again, there were actually people walking on stilts above the pedestrians, and they were not afraid of being knocked down in such a crowded place.
The four of them finally went through the gate and turned into the alley along the wall, which was not so crowded.
The pharmacy is the most deserted place in the East City tonight, but there are also people sitting in twos and threes drinking medicinal soup, and it feels like the pharmacy is being treated as a tea shop.
As soon as Lao Liang was bitten by a snake, he immediately became cautious, helped Jiang Hai to sit down in the shade under the wall of the square, and refused to ask the doctor to see him, saying that he only needed to buy medicinal materials.
"Isn't it just two lives? I believe in this little lady's medical skills."
People in the army always feel that their fate is hard and they can bear it.
The girl was also quite confident, and after hearing what he said, she entered the medical clinic generously and stood in front of the counter to write the prescription.
Lao Liang was afraid that she would report to the police, so he kept staring at her, but whispered: "Let her go later, she doesn't know who you are."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know, but if my brother can survive tonight, I will repay your great kindness in the future..."
Xue Bai murmured: "Illness disappears like silk, you won't get better in a while, and Pei Mian will not let you go, how about I give you a place to hide?"
Lao Liang was a little surprised, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will involve you?"
"Tonight he is not only trying to silence your mouths..."
~~
After a prescription was written, the girl nodded in satisfaction and handed it over.
"That's what they're called."
"Little lady, what disease are you trying to cure?"
"I met a patient who suffered from heart failure after a convulsion."
"Holy hand."
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy nodded and went to grab the medicine himself.
The girl was slightly proud, but when she turned around she saw Xue Bai walking in.She hesitated for a moment, beckoned him to come forward, and said in a low voice: "They are so pitiful, Zhi Jinwu, his wife was kidnapped... But the general wants to kill them, can you let them go, don't report to the officials? "
"You know who I am?"
"You...you look like someone from the imperial court. I actually followed you all the way when I saw you chasing the murderer."
"Why?"
"Curious."
Xue Bai pondered for a while, recalled all the conversations, made sure that he and Lao Liang had not missed anything in front of this little girl, and then asked, "What about you? Who are you?"
"Are you asking for my name?"
"It's not convenient to say, can you inform the family?"
"Me? Hmm...my surname is Zong, and my name is Xiaoxian. I can't tell you my name."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned her back.
Soon, the medicine was ready, Xue Bai took the medicine bag and paid the bill, looked at the sky, and asked the shopkeeper, "What time is it?"
"In another three quarters of an hour, it will be midnight."
"Yeah, no way?"
"Little lady, why did the old man lie to you? Look, the big lantern above the East Municipal Office is ready to be lit."
"Then what should I do? I have to get there...it's too late to go back, I have to get to Xingqing Palace."
The shopkeeper heard it interesting, he stroked his beard and smiled, raised his hand and said: "Then please invite me."
Xue Bai strode out of the pharmacy, only to see that Jiang Hai was a little more awake, stood up with the support of Lao Liang, and handed over the medicine bag.
"Since the young lady is interceding for you, I won't send you to the official, just do what you want."
"Thank you sir, thank you young lady."
Lao Liang quickly thanked him, picked up the medicinal materials, supported Jiang Hai, and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
"Let's go." Zong Xiaoxian urged Xue Bai, "Let's go to Xingqing Palace."
"How do you know I'm going to Xingqing Palace?"
"You are from the court, and you asked the time, of course."
"Let's go."
The two immediately walked east along the wall of Dongshifang.
There were too many pedestrians on the road, and Xue Bai walked so fast, Zong Xiaoxian couldn't help but annoyed, "Wait for me."
Xue Bai slowed down, glanced at her, and took the handkerchief from her hand.
"Holding."
"Oh."
Zong Xiaoxian held the handkerchief honestly, and then looked at Xue Bai, his eyes became a little complicated.
~~
In front of Xingqing Palace.
A luxurious carriage stopped slowly, and the servants hurried forward to ask the right minister to get off the carriage.
Li Linfu looked very tired, glanced at the Jinwu Guard in front of him, and suddenly thought, every time he travels these years, he has more than a hundred people on foot and horses as his left and right wings, ordering the Jinwu Guard to quiet the street... is it safe enough?
Probably not enough.
"Grandpa."
Li Xiu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "21 Lang's life is saved, Shi Qi Niang has not been found yet."
"The one who deserves to die will not die, and the one who should come will not come. Is Xue Bai here?"
"not yet."
"If Seventeen Niang has any good or evil, let him be buried with him." Li Linfu said in a flat tone, "If he doesn't find Seventeen Niang, he dares to come and kill her."
Li Xiu's back shivered, and she wanted to say something, but thinking that Shi Qi Niang went out to see the lantern with Xue Bai, she leaned over and said, "Here."
In fact, Li Linfu was already late, and he had no time to talk with his son. He stood with his hands spread out, and let his servants arrange his appearance and official robes for him, and prepared to enter the Xingqing Palace to wait for the saint.
Suddenly, there was a noise behind him.
Li Xiu turned his head to take a look, and quickly sent someone to ask.
"Shiro, Xue Bai is here."
"Did you bring Seventeen Niang back?"
"No."
Li Xiu quickly glanced to the north, hurried to the Jinwu Guard's guard, rushed over angrily, and pushed Xue Bai hard.
"You dare to come?!"
His tone was serious, he gritted his teeth and said to Xue Bai: "If Shi Qi Niang is a little injured, you still dare to think about any family status and future, and why don't you go find it?"
Hearing this, Xue Bai ran through everything that happened tonight in his mind, and immediately realized that the person in the apricot-yellow cloak was probably not Li Shiqiniang, and he also knew very well that no one was going to take her captive tonight.
"Shiro, let me ask you a question, Seventeen's mother's family name..."
"Li Shilang!"
Suddenly, a maidservant trotted over here while shouting.
"Seventeen Niang has entered Xingqing Palace with the princess!"
Li Xiu turned his head and was in a daze for a while, until the maid ran up to him, he realized and asked: "Princess Xianyi has really seen Seventeen Niangs?"
"Li Shilang went to Yuan Ankang, how could the maidservant recognize Shiqiniang by mistake?"
"What are you still doing in a daze? Let's go."
Li Xiu turned his worries into joy, pulled Xue Bai past him, and hurried to Xingqing Palace.
In front of them, a row of lanterns suddenly lit up, spread out far away, without end, like the morning sun suddenly rising, the sky breaks dawn, but it is still late at night.
The time is coming.
Another row of lanterns was lit up, and after that, row after row.If six hundred evening drums can make Chang'an City enter a curfew, these six hundred rows of lanterns can make Chang'an bright as day.
It is "thousands of gates are unlocked and thousands of lights are lit, and the imperial capital will be activated in the middle of the first lunar month".
Xue Bai was dragged by Li Xiu, and he walked quickly all the way, ignoring everything, and when he raised his head again, he saw a very bright and tall building in front of him.
That is Calyx Xianghui Building.
The last chapter is 7206 words, so it will not be divided into chapters. Thank you again for your first order~~
(End of this chapter)
Chongyifang, the government office of Hongnong County.
There was a knock on the door.
Not long after, a beautiful woman opened the door.
"Madam Han?" Tuoba Mao asked in a low voice.
He knew that the woman in front of him was Yang Shenjin's concubine, Han Zhutuan. Yang Shenjin had countless concubines and hadn't touched her for many years.
"come in."
Han Zhutuan quickly stepped aside and put the six big men into the courtyard.
"Follow me and don't talk."
They moved quickly, walked quickly through the path, occasionally encountered other maidservants, Han Zhutuan said: "Something happened in the city, Jin Wuwei came to inspect."
After passing through the double gate, they entered an uninhabited deserted courtyard.
Han Zhutuan pushed open the door of a room in the courtyard, led six people in, and said in a low voice, "You guys wait here."
"Can I light a candle?"
"No, you take off your armor and wait. There are wine and meat on the table, drink by yourself."
After Han Zhutuan finished speaking, he walked out with his head down.
Fortunately, the moonlight was also bright on the night of Shangyuan. Jiang Hai looked at her back and praised in surprise: "This woman is so delicious, I like it."
Tuoba Mao said: "Mr. Pei is really amazing, he can arrange us here."
"Remove the armor, leave the evidence here, go back to Longyou."
"I haven't seen enough of Chang'an City, I really can't bear it."
The six people took off their armor and found several jars of wine on the ground. They couldn't help being overjoyed, but they didn't dare to drink more.
After a while, someone opened the door and came in, but it was Pei Mian.
"Mr. Pei, are you here?" Tuoba Mao was filled with emotion.
"Well, Yang Shenjin's family banquet, I came with Wang Ji." Pei Mian said calmly, "I will stop chasing the trash of the sixteen guards, and you can rest here for a night, and drink by yourself."
"Here."
"The talisman has been changed." Pei Mian stretched out his hand, took back the talisman given by Donggong from the six people, and handed them another six talismans.
Jiang Hai took it, and glanced at it in the moonlight. It was a pattern that he had never seen before. He couldn't understand it, so he just kept it.
"Mr. Pei, Shangyuanye, is my family okay?" Jiang Mao asked.
"You can rest assured."
Pei Mian glanced around, saw that there was nothing left, got up and left.
"Shangyuan Ye, take a good rest."
"Sir go slow."
Liu Quan relaxed, picked up a jar of wine, and poured it down.
Jiang Hai couldn't forget the charm of Hanzhutuan, he stood by the window and kept looking out...
~~
Pei Mian walked out of the desolate courtyard, and saw Han Zhutuan waiting at the gate of the courtyard, as soon as he saw him, he went up to greet him, and called out affectionately.
"Pei Lang."
Without saying a word, Pei Mian took Han Zhutuan to the bushes, and Dang even leaned over.
"Ugh..."
Han Zhutuan was immediately distracted and closed his eyes.
After a while, she closed her eyes completely.
Pei Mian gently put Han Zhutuan down, took the handkerchief from her hand, pressed the wound on her heart, and carefully pulled out the dagger to prevent blood from splashing out.
Hiding the corpse in the flowers and bushes, throwing away the dagger, he turned and left, returning to the front yard.
……
Tonight, Yang Shenjin had a big banquet for the clansmen, and the mansion was very lively.
Pei Mian returned to the lobby, leaned behind Yang Shenjin who was the leader, and said in a low voice, "Yang Zhongcheng, I still have some things to do."
"Don't rush away, I have something to tell you."
Yang Shenjin ordered lightly, got up and led Pei Mian to the back hall.
He has been a little troubled recently, because he has not cared about the treasury of the Taifu for the past two years, and Pei Mian discovered a big omission during the New Year's Eve, and he had to make up for it before the sage found out, so he was very short of money.
Not long ago, he took away his nephew Wang Chi's job, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
"Zhang Fu, your idea for me is very good." Yang Shenjin said slowly: "Since the first month, Fengweilou has really been making money every day."
"Yes, these will all belong to the Yang family's property in the future."
"Tonight's Xingqing Palace confession matter, you have to sort out one or two for me, don't show your flaws in front of the imperial court."
Pei Mian respectfully responded, and said: "I just want to go to You Xiang's mansion to discuss this matter with Li Shilang."
Yang Shenjin nodded, still upset in her heart.
If you don't want the hole in the Taifu treasury to be uncovered, after you recognize Xue Bai's son, you have to sell Fengweilou immediately.
Although the Fengwei Building has no two limelights nowadays, it only relies on the secret method of cooking. This secret method will be revealed sooner or later, and now is the most valuable time.
For the father, father and son who were personally witnessed by Yukou, if the word filial piety is suppressed, then the son will not be able to disobey.
"Zhang Fu, tell me, who has the financial resources to..."
"Alang!"
Suddenly, a nursing home hurried over and reported, "Someone is making trouble in the backyard!"
"Who dares to come to the mansion of Hongnong County to act presumptuously?"
"He called himself Xue Bai, and said that some thieves had hacked and injured the son of Xiangfu, and wanted the Jinwu Guards to search the courtyard."
Yang Shenjin couldn't help being stunned, thinking for a moment in her heart, but she never said that she would come to her home to recognize relatives.
Pei Mian frowned, the secret passage came too soon...
~~
"What movement?"
Lao Liang got up suddenly, pushed the door out of the house, and listened attentively in the courtyard.
He has excellent hearing and can hear the faint voice blowing from a distance by the night wind.
That sound seemed to be just the hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival...but it wasn't.
"Stop drinking."
Lao Liang turned back into the room, snatched the wine from Jiang Hai's hand, and said, "The Jinwu Guard has arrived."
"What are you afraid of? Mr. Pei asked us to leave a thread for indexing."
"Don't drink yet."
"Liu Quan, wake up."
Jiang Hai pushed Liu Quan, but failed to wake him up.
He stood up and shook his head, feeling dizzy for a while.
~~
Tonight, Guo Qianli, the Zhonghou of the Jinwu Guard, held his own little daughter to watch the floats on the watchtower of Chongyifang, using public favoritism for personal gain.
"Aye, the float is so beautiful...how about the float?"
"There will be more later, so don't worry, let's take a look at the lanterns over there first." Guo Qianli said, "Oh, everyone likes to sing Li Bai's poems. How come no one sings Li Bai's poems for me on the Lantern Festival?"
"Aye, my daughter can sing... Pingming brushes her sword and bows to the sky, and my aunt chases my uncle back with a whip."
"You sing really well, even better than Xu Hezi."
Guo Qianli smiled, and suddenly saw a young man asking questions from his people downstairs, so he quickly ordered the young man to be called up.
"Haha, it really is Mr. Xue Lang!"
"General Guo." Xue Bai said: "I want to teach you to know that tonight some thieves from the Jinwu Guard seriously injured the Young Master of the Xiangfu and fled into Chongyifang."
"I don't have an order and I'm busy."
Guo Qianli has also learned to be smart this time, and he only plans to take his daughter to watch the lanterns tonight.
However, thinking about it again, the one who was injured was the Young Master of the Xiangfu, so he couldn't be unresponsive, so he immediately called the two Jinwu guards and said: "Follow Mr. Xue Lang to take a look, don't cause trouble."
Xue Bai actually didn't care whether the prince of the Xiangfu was injured or not.
He just had a rough guess in his mind-the dead man in the East Palace suddenly committed the crime for no reason, leaving obvious clues to lead people to hunt him down, why?Putting blame on one person ended the big case involving the East Palace.
But who can undertake the treason case for Li Heng?There are not many people in Chang'an who have this qualification.
After entering Chongyifang, there was no trace of blood on the ground anymore, and the clues were completely broken.It can be seen that the other party only intends to let people find Chongyifang, but not a specific house.
If someone else came to investigate tonight, it might take a few days.
Pei Mian wanted to delay, so Xue Bai decided to catch him off guard.
He went directly to the largest house.
As long as his speculation is correct, the person who can undertake the treason case must live in the deep house compound.
"Whose house is that?"
"Hongnong County Government Office."
When Xue Bai pointed to a large house to ask questions and got an answer, a gust of cold wind happened to blow, sending a chill down his spine.
He quickly calmed down, thinking to himself, it was really right for him to prepare an extra way out.
After thinking for a moment, he simply strode to the back door of Yang Shenjin's house and knocked hard on the door.
"Open the door! The Jinwu Guard is chasing the murderer!"
If you just look at his aura, he feels like the son of the Hongnong County government is returning home.
~~
"presumptuous!"
Not long after Xue Baicai confronted the servants of the Yang family, an angry shout resounded in the courtyard.
Yang Shenjin came with a sullen face and hands behind his back, as if he really thought he was Xue Bai's father.
"Zhuzi! You are white, and you dare to mobilize the Chang'an imperial guards in the name of the right minister's mansion. You can know that you are overstepping?! This big crime, don't you hurry up?!"
"A murderer wearing armor and holding a crossbow, assassinating the prime minister's son in the street is no different from rebellion!" Xue Bai did not show any weakness, and shouted: "If we can get people tonight, they are just fleeing into Yang Zhongcheng's house. If we wait until tomorrow, it will be a way to protect the rebels." Sin, can you afford it?!"
This is an almost straightforward reminder.
He could no longer speak more and teach others.
If Yang Shenjin can understand, a crisis may disappear invisible...
"asshole!"
Yang Shenjin's face was stiff when he heard this, and he once again shouted in what he thought was a lesson to his son: "Are you still acting wild here?! Get off and ask the Prime Minister for your sins!"
"Old man!"
Xue Bai scolded back immediately, turned around and left without hesitation.
He had no right to search Yang Shenjin's house at all, the reason he came here was to see if the fire could be extinguished, and since it couldn't be extinguished, he immediately decided to cut it.
"outrageous!"
Yang Shenjin snorted coldly.
He became more and more worried, wondering whether this little beast realized that he had confessed his relatives in order to seek his property?
~~
"Liu Quan?"
Jiang Hai called out a few times, and finally realized something was wrong.
Enduring his dizziness, he leaned over and covered Liu Quan's mouth and nose with his hands, and he couldn't feel the slightest breath.
"died?"
"The wine...is poisonous..."
Jiang Hai cursed, barely stood up, and went to see Jiang Mao immediately.
"Brother?"
In fact, Jiang Mao didn't drink much, but his body was weak, and his face was already ashamed at this time, and he couldn't support his body after holding on for a few times, and there was a sense of sadness in his eyes.
"Walk……"
"Brother!"
"You go... hide it well... don't give your life to others..."
"Brother, I'll take you away, get up..."
Jiang Mao stretched out his hand, hugged his brother's head, and murmured: "I remember the war horse with a broken leg..."
Jiang Hai cried loudly.
Lao Liang was in the best condition. Looking down, he saw little Boss was foaming from his mouth, his beard was covered with thick beard, and his eyes were lifeless.
"He's dying...Tuoba...Can he still move?"
Tuoba Mao raised his head reluctantly, his eyes were full of unwillingness, his throat rolled twice before he spit out a word.
"Pei... old dog Pei... can't..."
At the end of the conversation, only the sound of "clack" remained.
Lao Liang got up cruelly, grabbed Jiang Hai, and staggered out with him on his back.
Both of them were men who were used to seeing life and death, so they immediately stopped talking and swallowed their grief and anger.
Lao Liang looked back for the last time, and suddenly thought of the boy who was buried alive outside the city.
Today, it turns out that everyone is the same ants.
Passing through the double courtyard, Lao Liang felt that Jiang Hai's body was getting heavier and heavier.
"Who?!" A servant in front asked.
Lao Liang lowered his head, recalled Xue Bai's method last time, and responded with his Longyou accent: "Shangyuan Festival, drunk..."
"Which company brought the part? How did you come around to the backyard?"
"I don't know the way, I want to go out."
"Hey, come with me, sober yourself up, don't spit in the courtyard."
Lao Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the hand holding the dagger in his arms.
He didn't expect that he could escape so smoothly, until the door opened with a "squeak".
Although there is an alley in front of you, you can see the prosperity of Chang'an through the whitewashed walls at the entrance of the alley.Whether it's the corpses on the frontier battlefield, or the treacherous plots under the court struggle...it seems that none of them can affect the prosperity of Chang'an Market.
Old Liang seemed to be fascinated.
He felt dizzy, and suddenly wanted to go to the Xingqing Palace to listen to Xu Hezi sing Daqu. He had been licking the blood all his life. If he was going to die, he would have to die in the brightly lit Shangyuan night in Chang'an, not in any gutter.
Walking forward for a while, at the entrance of the alley, a little lady was sneaking along with two Jinwu guards.
The armor of the two Jinwu guards clanged, and she didn't have to follow too closely to avoid losing them. She followed all the way to the entrance of the alley, and she looked out with her head, seeming a little confused.
Lao Liang lowered his head and once again pretended to be supporting a drunk...he succeeded once, and he was very confident.
The next moment, someone walked quickly behind him and walked towards the little lady. She was a young man with a tall and straight figure, and his back was somewhat familiar.
The boy quickly walked behind the little lady, and said, "Why are you following me?"
Hearing that voice, Lao Liang choked for breath, helped Jiang Hai to turn around and leave.
~~
"Why are you following me?"
Not long after Xue Baicai left Yang's house, he noticed that someone was following him, so he asked the two Jinwu guards to keep walking forward, while he gradually opened up the distance, and then came back from another alley, and he found the other party.But I didn't expect it to be a girl who looked rather weak.
Originally wanted to follow up, but saw her hesitate for a long time, not professional at all.
He simply stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
The girl standing at the entrance of the alley was startled and turned around.
Xue Bai immediately remembered that he had met her on the road just now.
"Chang'an Street is not yours alone, why did I follow you?"
The girl patted her heart, and after she calmed down, she was not afraid of him at all, and there was a bit of narrowness in her eyes.
Xue Bai asked, "Do you recognize me?"
"Are you famous in Chang'an? Why should I know you?"
"Don't follow me anymore." Sensing that she was not malicious, Xue Bai relaxed a little, and said, "Go home, it's dangerous here..."
At this moment, he relaxed his mind, and only then remembered that he felt a little strange when he caught a glimpse of those two figures from the back in the alley just now, so he turned his head and took a look.
In an instant, Xue Bai recognized Lao Liang and Jiang Hai.
He couldn't let them be taken, and would confess his murder, either silenced or protected.
"front."
Xue Bai spoke, trying his best to restrain his tone so as not to scare them.
"Don't go..."
Lao Liang ran away.
Xue Bai followed quickly, and said, "Are you injured? If you can't get away, I can help you..."
Lao Liang and Jiang Hai suddenly speeded up, and Xue Bai continued to follow.
After chasing for a while, there is a residential area ahead, and it is rare to see a dark alley.
Xue Bai slowed down, knowing that they were nearby.
He said calmly, "I can help you, but you have to trust me..."
Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the darkness.
Xue Bai stopped talking, turned around to look, and saw that the girl had followed him just now.
"do not come."
"what!"
A figure suddenly jumped out of the ditch beside the road and pulled the girl over.
The bright knife light flashed, and the dagger was already on her neck.
"Don't move, I'll kill her!" Lao Liang scolded.
"Don't get excited, I don't know her, and I wouldn't hurt you. Are you injured? Poisoned? I can help you..."
"Don't come up! You officials don't have a good thing, don't think I don't know what you want to do!"
"Speak softly, don't alarm others, what did you tell me?"
Lao Liang was still calm before, but when asked by his reassuring tone, he became excited immediately, and shouted at Xue Bai: "Dog officials, all are dog officials! When recruiting soldiers, they said that meritorious deeds will be rewarded... 59 people from the same village lived. One... Shuan Zi died in battle, why should he pay his rent?! Damn... the general said to stand up for us... where is the general?! I want to see the general!"
"Okay, okay." Xue Bai said: "I know you have been wronged, you should let go of her first, she is innocent, you are poisoned? Let's talk about how to detoxify..."
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded.
"He was poisoned."
It was the kidnapped girl who said: "The smell of alcohol is so strong, the poison is in the wine, and you have drunk a lot. You can't speak clearly, and you have difficulty swallowing... But you still feel dizzy and numb?"
Lao Liang didn't answer.
The girl said again: "You are poisoned by hook kisses, I know medicine and can save you."
"I don't believe it...and you, don't come here!"
But Xue Bai raised his hand and said: "In this way, if you hold me hostage, she can save you, okay?"
"you……"
Xue Bai kept walking, approached resolutely, looked straight into Lao Liang's eyes under the moonlight, and said, "If I don't want to help, I can drag you to death. Believe me or not? You choose yourself."
"Damn, Second Jiang is dying!"
Lao Liang finally put away the dagger. After watching Jiang Hai for so long, he didn't come out from behind Xue Bai, so he knew that he had passed out. He rushed to the dark alley to look for it, and he saw Jiang Hai lying there unconscious. .
He himself was very dizzy.
Xue Bai knelt down and sniffed Jiang Hai's breath, and asked, "How?"
"Let them spit it out first." The girl probably only had theoretical knowledge. She stomped her feet and turned around. Then she had an idea, raised her hand and said, "Give them the stinky water from the canal!"
Xue Bai had already picked up Jiang Hai, found a long object on the ground, pressed it on the base of his tongue, and at the same time pressed hard on his lower abdomen.
He still didn't forget to say to Lao Liang, "You pick it yourself."
"vomit!"
The smell of wine stinks for a while, but Jiang Hai is still awake.
The girl looked down in her purse under the moonlight and took out a handful of pills.
"This is the tonic I usually take. There are skullcap and licorice, which can be regarded as symptomatic. It can relieve one or two, but to detoxify, I still have to drink yellow soup."
"How many?"
"Well, let me think about it, let's eat it all."
Lao Liang finally sat up from the ground full of vomit, his mouth was full of bitterness, but his stomach was cool, he was not as suffocating as before, and he was able to catch his breath.
"Go, find a medical shop to buy medicinal materials."
Lao Liang got up with difficulty, helped Jiang Hai up with Xue Bai, and stumbled towards the long street. The girl looked down at her dirty clothes, and almost wanted to cry, so she held back and ran a few steps to keep up Xue Bai.
The four turned around the long street, still pretending to be drunk, and walked all the way to Dongshi.
……
The East Market seemed to be boiling tonight.
All the shops are open, and there are various performances in the middle of the street, such as acrobatics, sumo wrestling, and circus, and the crowd cheers from time to time.
On the high platform in the distance, there were people dancing firebirds. When I looked up again, there were actually people walking on stilts above the pedestrians, and they were not afraid of being knocked down in such a crowded place.
The four of them finally went through the gate and turned into the alley along the wall, which was not so crowded.
The pharmacy is the most deserted place in the East City tonight, but there are also people sitting in twos and threes drinking medicinal soup, and it feels like the pharmacy is being treated as a tea shop.
As soon as Lao Liang was bitten by a snake, he immediately became cautious, helped Jiang Hai to sit down in the shade under the wall of the square, and refused to ask the doctor to see him, saying that he only needed to buy medicinal materials.
"Isn't it just two lives? I believe in this little lady's medical skills."
People in the army always feel that their fate is hard and they can bear it.
The girl was also quite confident, and after hearing what he said, she entered the medical clinic generously and stood in front of the counter to write the prescription.
Lao Liang was afraid that she would report to the police, so he kept staring at her, but whispered: "Let her go later, she doesn't know who you are."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know, but if my brother can survive tonight, I will repay your great kindness in the future..."
Xue Bai murmured: "Illness disappears like silk, you won't get better in a while, and Pei Mian will not let you go, how about I give you a place to hide?"
Lao Liang was a little surprised, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will involve you?"
"Tonight he is not only trying to silence your mouths..."
~~
After a prescription was written, the girl nodded in satisfaction and handed it over.
"That's what they're called."
"Little lady, what disease are you trying to cure?"
"I met a patient who suffered from heart failure after a convulsion."
"Holy hand."
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy nodded and went to grab the medicine himself.
The girl was slightly proud, but when she turned around she saw Xue Bai walking in.She hesitated for a moment, beckoned him to come forward, and said in a low voice: "They are so pitiful, Zhi Jinwu, his wife was kidnapped... But the general wants to kill them, can you let them go, don't report to the officials? "
"You know who I am?"
"You...you look like someone from the imperial court. I actually followed you all the way when I saw you chasing the murderer."
"Why?"
"Curious."
Xue Bai pondered for a while, recalled all the conversations, made sure that he and Lao Liang had not missed anything in front of this little girl, and then asked, "What about you? Who are you?"
"Are you asking for my name?"
"It's not convenient to say, can you inform the family?"
"Me? Hmm...my surname is Zong, and my name is Xiaoxian. I can't tell you my name."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned her back.
Soon, the medicine was ready, Xue Bai took the medicine bag and paid the bill, looked at the sky, and asked the shopkeeper, "What time is it?"
"In another three quarters of an hour, it will be midnight."
"Yeah, no way?"
"Little lady, why did the old man lie to you? Look, the big lantern above the East Municipal Office is ready to be lit."
"Then what should I do? I have to get there...it's too late to go back, I have to get to Xingqing Palace."
The shopkeeper heard it interesting, he stroked his beard and smiled, raised his hand and said: "Then please invite me."
Xue Bai strode out of the pharmacy, only to see that Jiang Hai was a little more awake, stood up with the support of Lao Liang, and handed over the medicine bag.
"Since the young lady is interceding for you, I won't send you to the official, just do what you want."
"Thank you sir, thank you young lady."
Lao Liang quickly thanked him, picked up the medicinal materials, supported Jiang Hai, and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
"Let's go." Zong Xiaoxian urged Xue Bai, "Let's go to Xingqing Palace."
"How do you know I'm going to Xingqing Palace?"
"You are from the court, and you asked the time, of course."
"Let's go."
The two immediately walked east along the wall of Dongshifang.
There were too many pedestrians on the road, and Xue Bai walked so fast, Zong Xiaoxian couldn't help but annoyed, "Wait for me."
Xue Bai slowed down, glanced at her, and took the handkerchief from her hand.
"Holding."
"Oh."
Zong Xiaoxian held the handkerchief honestly, and then looked at Xue Bai, his eyes became a little complicated.
~~
In front of Xingqing Palace.
A luxurious carriage stopped slowly, and the servants hurried forward to ask the right minister to get off the carriage.
Li Linfu looked very tired, glanced at the Jinwu Guard in front of him, and suddenly thought, every time he travels these years, he has more than a hundred people on foot and horses as his left and right wings, ordering the Jinwu Guard to quiet the street... is it safe enough?
Probably not enough.
"Grandpa."
Li Xiu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "21 Lang's life is saved, Shi Qi Niang has not been found yet."
"The one who deserves to die will not die, and the one who should come will not come. Is Xue Bai here?"
"not yet."
"If Seventeen Niang has any good or evil, let him be buried with him." Li Linfu said in a flat tone, "If he doesn't find Seventeen Niang, he dares to come and kill her."
Li Xiu's back shivered, and she wanted to say something, but thinking that Shi Qi Niang went out to see the lantern with Xue Bai, she leaned over and said, "Here."
In fact, Li Linfu was already late, and he had no time to talk with his son. He stood with his hands spread out, and let his servants arrange his appearance and official robes for him, and prepared to enter the Xingqing Palace to wait for the saint.
Suddenly, there was a noise behind him.
Li Xiu turned his head to take a look, and quickly sent someone to ask.
"Shiro, Xue Bai is here."
"Did you bring Seventeen Niang back?"
"No."
Li Xiu quickly glanced to the north, hurried to the Jinwu Guard's guard, rushed over angrily, and pushed Xue Bai hard.
"You dare to come?!"
His tone was serious, he gritted his teeth and said to Xue Bai: "If Shi Qi Niang is a little injured, you still dare to think about any family status and future, and why don't you go find it?"
Hearing this, Xue Bai ran through everything that happened tonight in his mind, and immediately realized that the person in the apricot-yellow cloak was probably not Li Shiqiniang, and he also knew very well that no one was going to take her captive tonight.
"Shiro, let me ask you a question, Seventeen's mother's family name..."
"Li Shilang!"
Suddenly, a maidservant trotted over here while shouting.
"Seventeen Niang has entered Xingqing Palace with the princess!"
Li Xiu turned his head and was in a daze for a while, until the maid ran up to him, he realized and asked: "Princess Xianyi has really seen Seventeen Niangs?"
"Li Shilang went to Yuan Ankang, how could the maidservant recognize Shiqiniang by mistake?"
"What are you still doing in a daze? Let's go."
Li Xiu turned his worries into joy, pulled Xue Bai past him, and hurried to Xingqing Palace.
In front of them, a row of lanterns suddenly lit up, spread out far away, without end, like the morning sun suddenly rising, the sky breaks dawn, but it is still late at night.
The time is coming.
Another row of lanterns was lit up, and after that, row after row.If six hundred evening drums can make Chang'an City enter a curfew, these six hundred rows of lanterns can make Chang'an bright as day.
It is "thousands of gates are unlocked and thousands of lights are lit, and the imperial capital will be activated in the middle of the first lunar month".
Xue Bai was dragged by Li Xiu, and he walked quickly all the way, ignoring everything, and when he raised his head again, he saw a very bright and tall building in front of him.
That is Calyx Xianghui Building.
