Chapter 43 The secret is unpredictable
"well"
Throwing the valuable wine glass in her hand on the white jade table, Su Lan sighed, clenched her slender white fingers into a fist, and supported her little head, showing a trace of sadness on her pretty face:
"What should I do? This girl is just a piece of cake. Why did she become a piece of shit? Look at the hydrangea with shoe marks on it. If I let this girl know who is harming me, she will definitely punch me."
Beat him to death, hum."
After venting her inner feelings, Su Lan blinked her beautiful eyes and felt a little tired. After a while, her eyelids closed completely and she fell asleep.
As night falls, the Wutong Tower looks different at night. It lacks the majestic and luxurious feeling during the day. From a distance, the Wutong Tower is shrouded in black, making it look a bit solemn and mysterious.
On the third floor, a maid carried a food box, walked slowly to two soldiers holding spears, and said, "This slave is here to deliver food to the Prince Consort."
One of the young soldiers stepped forward, opened the food box and took a look. After making sure it was correct, he nodded to the other man, who took off the key hanging on his waist and prepared to open the door.
"Click click click"
The sound of the key turning sounded in the house. Su Lan, who was supporting her head with one hand, opened her beautiful eyes, woke up instantly, picked up the veil on the jade table and covered her face again.
As soon as the veil was tied, the door was pushed open. After a maid entered the room, the soldier closed the door again.
The maid carried a food box, bowed her head and saluted Su Lan who was sitting at the table: "This slave is here to bring some food to the Prince Consort."
"Um"
Su Lan looked at the maid in front of her, and a sudden idea came to her mind, and a plan quickly formed in her mind.
After receiving Su Lan's approval, the maid stood up and put the food box on the table. Then, one after another, the exquisite dishes were placed on the jade table. Su Lan stood up slowly and walked behind the maid.
Standing behind the maid, Su Lan quietly raised her arm, and with her right hand shaped like a knife, she hit the maid's neck violently. The maid could not even moan, and her body collapsed. This maid was just an ordinary person.
He's just a human, so naturally he can't withstand Su Lan's palm.
Su Lan had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly supported the unconscious maid to prevent her from falling on the table and making a sound, and placed the maid on the table.
After getting on the bed, Su Lan quickly took off the maid's clothes and put them on herself. Then she put the original clothes on the maid and covered her face with a veil. Su Lan stood in front of the bed and nodded with satisfaction.
Picking up the food box on the table, Su Lan slowly exhaled, calmed down her nervous mood, lowered her head and opened the door.
It was pitch dark outside, only some rooms upstairs still had oil lamps on, and some soldiers were patrolling around. The two red-armored soldiers guarding the door didn't notice anything unusual. After Su Lan walked out of the room, he locked the door again.
Su Lan, who was dressed as a maid, lowered her head, holding a food box in her hand, and walked towards the Wutong Tower under the cover of night. On the way, she met several groups of patrolling soldiers. Su Lan lowered her head deeply and was about to walk around.
As they walked by, suddenly, the leading soldier stopped Su Lan and asked sternly:
"It's so late, what are you doing?"
Su Lan lowered her head, picked up the food box in her hand, and said softly: "I just finished delivering food to the new prince-in-law."
The leading soldier looked at the food box in Su Lan's hand, and then passed by Su Lan.
The journey was uneventful, and under the cover of the night, it went smoothly. Su Lan stopped under the willow tree where she had eaten melon this morning. The half-teeth watermelon she had dropped was still lying quietly next to the old stone bench, and she put the food box in her hand.
Putting it on the stone bench, looking at the Wutong Tower with some lights behind her, Su Lan's beautiful eyes curved into a crescent shape.
In the early morning of the next day, Hong Qing and Taoist Shangji were discussing the auspicious date for getting married. When they were about to decide on the end of this month, they saw the leader of his bodyguards hurried into the hall and said in an anxious tone:
"No, sir, the new prince-in-law is missing!"
"What? What is going on!" Hong Qing suddenly stood up from his seat, and his originally smiling expression suddenly became ugly.
After half a cup of tea, the maid who was knocked unconscious by Su Lan yesterday and the two guards who were responsible for guarding knelt in front of Hong Qing fearfully. The maid, trembling all over, told Hong Qing everything that happened yesterday.
After hearing the maid's story, Hong Qing frowned and pressed his forehead with his fingers. After a while, Hong Qing spoke slowly, his voice a little gloomy:
"The maid will be expelled from Wutong Tower with immediate effect. The two soldiers guarding her will not be promoted for two years and their salary will be deducted for three months."
"Thank you, Lord Sheriff, for your kindness!"
treat
After the three people retreated, they ordered the leader of the guards: "Find the new prince-in-law and bring him to me."
"Yes, sir"
The leader of the guards was a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice. After receiving the order, he left immediately to search for the consort.
Hong Qing sighed secretly, knowing that the possibility of finding Su Rong was extremely slim, and she didn't know his appearance, so she thought that locking him up in Wutong Tower would be absolutely safe. It was really a mistake, a mistake.
Secretly regretting it, Hong Qing said to Taoist Shangji who was sitting next to him: "I wonder if Brother Shangji can find a way to find the consort?"
Hearing this, Taoist Shangji said with some bitterness: "Master Hong, the old Taoist can only make a rough calculation, just like yesterday. He can only calculate the day on which the destined person will appear. With the help of a special spell, he can find the person."
We have come to this person, but now that the prince-in-law has escaped and the secret has been leaked, it will be even more difficult to find this person."
Hong listened to what Master Shangji said and shook his head in regret, his expression full of loneliness.
Seeing Hong Qing like this, Taoist Shangji sighed heavily, and then said: "That's all, that's all. The little girl Yan'er was also watched by the old Taoist. Naturally, she can't just sit idly by and ignore it. Although the old Taoist is not good at cultivation, the art of divination is good.
There are some Taoist practices. Although the secret has been leaked, forced divination will suffer backlash, but as long as the scope of divination is expanded, the price can still be afforded."
Hong Qing suddenly looked solemn, stood up and saluted Master Shangji: "I'll leave it to Brother Shangji."
Taoist Shangji touched his beard, took out the black turtle shell from his sleeve robe, placed it on the ground, took out three more copper coins, and said: "The last divination result has determined that the destined person is a man."
He appeared in front of Wutong Tower on the 15th of this month. This time we can only predict his approximate location, otherwise the powerful backlash would be too much for this small body of the old man."
Taoist Shangji was sitting cross-legged in the main hall, holding three copper coins in his hands and shaking them regularly, muttering some strange spells. After a while, Taoist Shangji suddenly stopped shaking his hands, and his palms slowly
Opening it slowly, three copper coins fell into the black turtle shell on the ground.
"Bang bang bang"
Three explosions came into my ears. The moment the three copper coins fell into the turtle shell, they all exploded and broke into several pieces. The Taoist Master Shangji who was sitting cross-legged stared, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
