Yu Shiji stopped everyone outside Yang Guang's palace, the Health Palace, and said with a bitter look on his face: "We can't come to Jin Ye now. Your Majesty is asleep."

Fei Yun said urgently: "Rescuing an emergency is like putting out a fire. Can you please Mrs. Guier to find a way to wake him up?"

Yu Shiji sighed: "I told Mrs. Gui'er earlier. She said that the Holy Lord stayed up all night last night and just went to bed to rest. Who dares to harass him?"

Dugu Sheng also panicked and said, "What should we do?"

After exchanging glances with Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong said calmly: "Master Yu, try to ask Mrs. Gui'er why he stayed up all night?"

Yu Shiji understood his intention and went into the palace again.

Dugu Sheng said helplessly: "It seems that the two little brothers have to wait patiently again!"

Xu Ziling said: "Don't guard us like prisoners again."

Fei Yun asked them for help and said hurriedly: "Of course not. As long as you two don't leave the palace gate, you can do whatever you like."

Dugu Sheng was still worried, so he called one of his young men and introduced him: "This is my cousin Dugu Xiong. Let him accompany you two to go shopping!"

Xu Ziling's heart moved and he said: "A friend of ours has been summoned to the palace as a cook. We want to ask for a favor so that he can return to his hometown to reunite with his family."

Fei Yun's mind had already gone elsewhere, and he said a little impatiently, "This is a small matter, Xiaoxiong can take care of it for you." After saying this, he and Dugu Sheng parted ways and hurried away.

This Duguxiong was only two or three years older than them. He had good looks and shrewd features. He asked tentatively: "Should I get to the room first? With Lord Yu taking care of me, nothing can be done."

Kou Zhong said: "Then please ask Brother Dugu to lead the way."

Dugu Xiong led the way, and when he met Gong'e's beautiful maids, they all stared at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Dugu Xiong smiled with envy and said, "It seems that Brother Kou and Brother Xu are both very popular with ladies."

Kou Zhong felt proud and said with a smile: "How long has Brother Dugu been a personal guard of the Holy Emperor?"

Duguxiong replied: "Less than two months."

Xu Kou and Xu Kou were startled, thinking that in order to defeat the Yuwen Clan, the Dugu Clan had transferred all the experts in the clan to Jiangdu. Maybe after eradicating the Yuwen Clan's power, the next target would be Yang Guang.

After Dugu Xiong greeted a group of patrols, he whispered: "I heard that the two of them once defeated Yu Wen Wudi. Is this true?"

Kou Zhong thought to himself that not only Yuwen Wudi was beaten and fled, but also your Duguba was injured by Xiaoling, you kid still dares to doubt. But he responded: "It's just an exaggeration of the rumors! In fact, we can only get away with it by luck."

." Dugu Xiong said:

"This is quite remarkable."

Xu Ziling rarely saw Kou Zhong being so humble, and secretly praised him for being more mature than before.

Passing through the imperial garden in the southeast corner of the harem, the smell of cooking food reached the noses of the three of them. Dugu Xiong said: "You two, please wait for a moment. I will ask Eunuch Lu who is in charge of the house to come and ask you personally."

As long as he knows that these two people are Lord Yu, he promises to do his best to help."

After Duguxiong left, Kou Zhong said: "Chen Laomou once said: There must be underground secret passages in every palace. We'd better try to find them so that we can escape quickly when things are urgent."

Xu Ziling thought of the terrible situation when Li Mi attacked Dalongtou Mansion that day, and still fearfully asked: "How to find it?"

Kou Zhong thought: "Remember? Chen Laomou said that all tunnels have ventilation openings. The ventilation openings are easy to hide in buildings, but are easy to detect in open fields or garden materials. Ha! Of course the tunnels are for Yang Guang's own use.

.So as long as we search near the imperial garden we visited just now, we will definitely find some clues. If something happens, we can escape!"

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: "I totally agree with your guess. But since Concubine Xiao may be a traitor, maybe Yu Wenhua Gu already knew the secret of the tunnel. If we break in, as long as Yu Wenhua Gu stands guard at the entrance of the tunnel and smokes a pipe , can already choke us to death."

Kou Zhong slapped his forehead, looked around in distress at the spectacular scene of numerous palaces, and lowered his voice: "You're right, we don't think we are capable of flying to the sky, and escaping to the ground may be a dead end, so the only way is to learn how to travel and find someone." It’s a damn good place to hide for a few days. This place is at least ten times bigger than Dalongtou Mansion, so it should be easier to hide, but be careful that Yu Wenwen Gu will set fire to the palace to vent his anger."

Xu Ziling said with a smile: "If the sky falls, we will be bedding. When it comes to the moment of war and chaos, Yu Wenhua will go to Yang Guang first, so we will take the opportunity to break out of the siege. Don't forget that we are already masters."

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "I almost forgot!"

A smile escaped from the corner of Xu Ziling's mouth, and the scenes of his childhood seemed to reappear at this moment. At that time, everyone was ignorant, and they could argue for days about small things, or laugh a lot for no reason. .

Kou Zhong whispered: "Here he comes."

Xu Ziling had already heard the sound of footsteps.

Dugu Xiong's steps were steady and even. Not only did he have a solid foundation in martial arts, his martial arts also followed the vigorous path of Shen Xiong.

Eunuch Lu's steps were floating, and his left leg was a little longer than his right leg, so he was heavier and lighter, and his center of gravity was unstable. Thinking of this, even Xu Ziling wondered why he could guess so many things purely based on the sound of his feet. If you make further progress, you may be able to grasp more situations.

People can pretend, but footsteps often reveal the truth.

Kou Zhong saluted from a distance and said: "Eunuch Lu, you wish me good luck. My little brother Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are here to pay their respects to Eunuch Lu."

Gonggong Lu, who was born with the head of a snake and the eyes of a rat, said with a sinister smile: "We are all our own people. You are welcome. If you have any questions, just give me your instructions."

Xu Ziling felt nauseated when he saw him, but on the surface he tried to be friendly and said with utmost respect: "How dare you give this order to your father-in-law? I just want to ask my father-in-law about a man named Feng Qiang."

Seeing that Eunuch Lu couldn't remember this gentleman, Kou Zhong interrupted: "He is a short, fat man in his forties. He used to open a stall in the east of the city and sell steamed buns. He was very famous."

Eunuch Lu sighed: "Remember, he also had a very beautiful concubine! Alas! It's a pity that she died."

The two of them yelled, "What?"

Eunuch Lu pretended to be sad and said: "This guy is a wild bull. He often argued with other people in the house and framed others. He stuffed a two-minute-long fish bone into the buns he made for the emperor to eat. I was so tired that I almost got hit with a few sticks. More than 300 people were beheaded with him, maybe even the guy who framed him was among them, ha! It's really ridiculous."

Xu Ziling turned pale, and Kou Zhong asked hurriedly, "Where is his concubine?"

Eunuch Lu sighed in a tone that saw the world's situation: "Only one of the killings by your Majesty was not carried out by the whole family. Eh! No! I seem to have heard that Feng Qiang's pretty daughter-in-law was chosen by others and escaped the disaster. But the details I don’t know!"

Dugu Xiong said: "Who knows this?"

Lu Gonggong said with a sinister smile: "Of course it is Dou Xian who is responsible for the execution."

The three of them looked at each other.

Dou Xian has become a fugitive general, how can he be asked to question him?

※※※

It wasn't until noon that day that Yu Shiji sent someone to inform them to see Yang Guang.

Kou Zhong asked Xu Ziling to fall two steps back: "This foolish king will order to kill people whenever he is unhappy or happy. If something happens later, we will escape separately and then meet at the pagoda in the southeast corner. If necessary, jump off the top of the pagoda. You can fall into the moat outside the city wall and escape through the water."

Xu Ziling said with emotion: "This is indeed the best strategy. You kid has made a lot of progress than before."

Kou Zhong said proudly: "We are also a little lucky. We don't have to treat Xiang Boy's injuries because of that bastard Li Butong, so now we have more leverage to control Xiang Boy. Otherwise, how can we safely let him take Sister Su away."

Xu Ziling asked smoothly: "Have you ever asked where Yun Yuzhen went?"

Kou Zhong lowered his voice and said: "My guess is that because Dugu Ce is also here, she went to have a tryst with him and couldn't come back in time this morning. Of course! She never thought that we could leave Linjiang Palace."

Xu Ziling said in shock: "Then you can still be so happy?"

Kou Zhong glanced at him and said angrily: "I don't want to marry her, what's the point of being unhappy? I don't even care. Ha!"

Duguxiong coughed dryly and turned around and said: "The Holy One doesn't like people making noise. You two...hey!" Kou Zhong pretended to be surprised and said: "Of course! In addition to the Holy One's own dragon voice, ha!"

Xu Ziling whispered: "Business matters!"

The palace was in sight, and Fei Yun was waiting in front of the palace door, beckoning them to run faster.

The three of them raised their spirits and made light work of themselves, and passed by.

Fei Yun said solemnly: "As you expected, Madam Gui'er said that Your Majesty was so excited that he stayed up all night because he was pestered by Concubine Xiao to play games last night. Now that I think about it, when I reported to His Majesty yesterday, It was this bitch who deliberately teased His Majesty to kiss me so that His Majesty could not hear what I was saying."

Kou Zhong said: "Then it seems that Yuhuagu will definitely be activated tonight."

Xu Ziling asked: "Have you found Sima Dekan's army? Are they nearby?"

Fei Yun shook his head and said: "His army disappeared without a trace after leaving the city, which is really chilling. Alas! I have to be busy looking for a woman again, so what other time do I have?"

Xu Ziling changed his expression and said, "How can you do such an outrageous thing?"

Fei Yun was about to have a fit, so he suppressed his temper and said with a wry smile: "I just went to the prison to find a group of female prisoners, and prepared an explanation for the Holy Emperor when he wanted to see it on a whim. This is called looking up at the love, otherwise I will The head has long been separated from the body."

Kou Zhong said regretfully: "Your Majesty's memory may not be very bright, and he might have forgotten it a long time ago."

Fei Yun agreed: "It is true that he often forgets things, but I am afraid that when the Holy One sees you, he will remind you of this matter, and it will be bad if you ask the general!"

Xu Ziling said: "Why don't you go in? Time is of the essence!"

Fei Yun said with a bitter face: "The Holy Emperor and the concubines went to the Changsheng Pond to take a bath. They washed, played and ate. They didn't even have time to wait before entering. Okay! Please come with me."

Kou and Xu saw that Fei Yun's attitude was much more cordial. Although they knew that he was pretending, they felt better and followed him into the lobby of the palace.

It was the first time for the two of them to see such a magnificent hall. The floor was covered with thick soft carpets, and the furniture was exquisite. The paintings and decorations hanging on the walls were all priceless treasures, which were dazzling to see. Flirting.

Kou Zhong pointed and whispered in Xu Ziling's ear: "It must have been brought from Luoyang, Guanzhong."

When Dugu Xiong heard what he said, he nodded and said, "Brother Kou guessed it right!"

There was no one in the hall, and the sunlight filtered in from the west window, making it peaceful.

At the south end of the hall, there is a couch carved with dragons and inlaid with gold and silver, which is naturally Yang Guang's dragon seat.

After Duguxiong confessed, he left the hall, leaving the three of them waiting in pain.

Fei Yun was restless and waited for an hour. When the sun began to set, he saw Yu Shiji coming in a hurry to announce the good news:

"It's done! Your Majesty is getting dressed, and Mrs. Guier has persuaded His Majesty that he is willing to receive us."

The three people who stood up fell down again.

At this time, Gong'e came in and lit dozens of palace lanterns hanging around, closed the doors and windows, and lit the fires in the four corners. At this time, Yang Guang's team had just arrived.

Dozens of eunuchs, Gong'e, came in and lined up in different classes. After some busy work, they stood and waited.

Then Dugu Sheng led a large number of guards to come and guard the entrances and exits. After everything was ready, he whispered to the four of them: "Mrs. Xiao must have something wrong. Just now she was pestering the Lord to go to Linjiang Palace to watch the sunset, huh!" "
