Lord Lan

Chapter 680 Infiltrated into the palace and met Gawa by chance (2)
Gongsun Jinbi gritted his teeth a bit. Is there something wrong with the maid's ears or is it on purpose? !Pick and listen to the words, and filter out the words you don't listen to.

A stern smile curled up on the corner of Su Julan's lips, and said, "Then I'll have to work!"

Seeing that Su Julan had expressed his attitude, Shao Le and the others stopped asking questions and got into the gorgeous carriage directly.

The wheels of the carriage rumbled along the bluestone road, the windows inside the car were made extra large, and the curtains were drawn to both sides, so that the scenery outside could be seen at a glance.

Every time she passed a slightly distinctive building, Caiyi would give an eloquent introduction. Even if she was interrupted impatiently by Gongsun Jinbi, she would continue to talk as if she had never heard of it. From a human point of view, she seemed to be doing her own way puppet.

Starting from the outside of the city and walking inside the city, passing through a very poor area, the ground is full of rubbish, and the people walking around are all poor people with shabby clothes and thin faces, or they are vicious people with scars all over their faces, Caiyi said: "This is the low ring area of ​​Qingling City, where people who have just arrived and all the manual laborers in the city live here."

Su Julan looked out and found that when the poor people looked at this out of place gorgeous carriage, they all changed their faces and seemed to be furious, which made Shao Le grab Su Julan's cuff with some fear.

Caiyi then smiled without showing her teeth: "But the princess and the others are honorable, so naturally they won't go to such a place in the future."

Not long after, several layers of high walls stood in front, and there was only one gate under the wall, which was heavily guarded by soldiers.After the carriage passed through the primary fence, the surrounding scenery suddenly became brighter. The streets quickly became wider and greener, and even the clothes of the people walking on the streets were neat and elegant. It seemed that even their status had been promoted compared to that poor slum just now. Several grades.

Su Julan said: "Why are there so many walls in Qingling City?"

Caiyi replied: "These walls are very important to our Qingling City. They are divided into outer walls and inner nets. The outer walls are to resist the enemies outside and protect the safety of the city. The inner walls are to maintain order and prevent those living in the lower ring from Collided with the stable life of the people."

Su Julan sneered and said, "Clash? The people living in the lower ring are also from your Yonggu Kingdom, so they can't be called the word 'common people' you mentioned?"

Caiyi continued without changing his face: "This is the central area, with bustling streets, schools, teahouses and many other entertainment venues. As for the inner ring, it is a resting place for important people. The resting place arranged for the princess is naturally Within the inner circle."

The carriage drove into the so-called inner ring following the sound of grunting.

I have to say that the scenery of the inner ring is simply heaven on earth, the streets are countless times wider than the bustling streets in the Central Ring, but there are few pedestrians and almost all of them are dressed in uniforms, and the masters are all in a gorgeous eight-person carriage. Sedan.As for the buildings that can be seen, they are all mansions with stone steles in front of the door marked with various professional titles, all of which are extremely luxurious.

Gongsun Jinbi's head grew bigger when he heard Caiyi's formulaic introduction, even bigger than being talked about by his parents at home.

Finally, finally—"Squeak!"

The carriage stopped in front of a gorgeous small house, and Caiyi led them out of the carriage. Looking at the eight maidservants and eight guards standing in front of the gate of the house, she walked to the gate, turned around and still smiled at each other. Su Julan respectfully said: "This is the mansion arranged for the princess, please come and rest in the mansion, and the servants will come to pick up the princess at noon tomorrow and continue to visit Qingling City."

Su Julan said: "Then when can I see Huang Guoshi? Or meet your monarch?"

Caiyi smiled without grinning and said: "My maidservant just said that not everyone can see the national teacher or the monarch when they see each other. But the princess has a high status, and this servant will arrange the meeting in the princess's itinerary. It is estimated that two In a month's time, we will be able to meet our incomparably honorable Master National Teacher."

"Two more months!" Gongsun Jinbi was shocked.

Caiyi spread her hands again and said affectionately: "I like that the princess can enjoy the culture of our Qingling City. If you don't greet well, just open your mouth. The servant will take the princess to visit the mansion now."

Su Julan followed Caiyi into this mansion with a gorgeous appearance and an equally exquisite interior decoration. After other people stepped into the house one after another, Su Julan suddenly pointed to the carriageway outside the door: "This seat has something in the carriage. Inside."

Caiyi immediately bowed and said, "I will help the princess get it back, slave girl." But just after she stepped out of the gate, Su Julan swept her sleeves suddenly, and the gate slammed shut.

Gongsun Jinbi and the others immediately widened their eyes, and heard Caiyi respectfully say outside the door: "The maidservant has not finished introducing the scenery of the mansion to the princess, and I hope the princess will open the door."

"No need! This seat is already tired now, and I need to rest now. You also take away the sixteen servants standing outside the door. This seat does not need them to serve you."

"But the Yonggu Kingdom has always been hospitable. How can the princess, the Holy Lord, come without someone to serve him?"

"It is enough for me to have Yuezhao to serve me." Su Julan replied briefly, and then led the others into the mansion.

After Caiyi's call failed, she still looked at the sixteen servants beside her with a toothless smile, and ordered, "Then you all stay outside the door and wait for the call."

"Yes!" These people immediately nodded respectfully.

She got back into the carriage and walked away, but when the curtain of the carriage was accidentally raised, even though there was no one in the carriage, she still kept the usual smile on her face.This smile, I don't know why, but it makes people's heart tremble, I always feel that this smile is just a mask!

Su Julan and the others stood high in the courtyard until the carriage disappeared from sight, then turned over and fell back into the courtyard.

Gongsun Jinbi also felt that Caiyi's smile was so strange that it was a bit scary, and touched goosebumps all over his body and said, "Do you feel that talking to that Caiyi is like playing the piano to a cow?"

"It's called 'turning a blind eye', so we can also 'turn a blind eye'."

Su Julan replied, since Qingling City is so dignified and Huang Guoshi has ulterior motives to avoid seeing him, she might as well cooperate with him to show his noble status. "If Huang Jingying doesn't see us, then we can take the initiative to meet him."

Shao Le asked: "But how do we meet? The palace is heavily guarded, and there are walls everywhere."

Gongsun Jinbi knocked on his forehead with his index finger, and said, "Wait a minute!" Then he suddenly pulled out a large stack of papers from his arms and rummaged through them, professional habits—these were all kinds of leaflets he picked up when he entered the city today.

"Here, here——I found it!" Gongsun Jinbi said excitedly while grabbing a leaflet, pointing at it, "Here, it says that all the streets in the city will be lit with lanterns because the palace will hold a Lantern Festival tonight. Why don't we Taking the opportunity to sneak into the palace tonight?"
