Late at night, in a house in the southwest of Shenlin City, Xu Zhiqiong lit the divine machine eye on the candlestick in the secret room.
He injected the power of imagery into the stone eyes, sketched Gongsun Wen's appearance in his mind, and repeated Gongsun Wen's name.
As expected, a light spot appeared in the divine machine eye.
Gongsun Wen is a Qiancheng man and has the blood of Qiancheng. As long as he appears on the territory of Qiancheng country, he will be within the sight of the divine machine eye.
After wandering in Shenlin City for more than an hour, Gongsun Wen quietly arrived at the Shenjun Palace at the end of the day. He passed through several palaces one after another, avoiding all the sentries and agencies.
The guard followed the path and sneaked into Shensi Pavilion.
Xu Zhiqiong's cheeks trembled. There was actually such a defensive blind spot in the Qiancheng Palace.
Shensi Pavilion is the largest book pavilion in Qiancheng Palace.
The scale of Shensi Pavilion is not comparable to that of Daxuan Longtu Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, and Tianzhang Pavilion.
Even if all the royal bookstores in Daxuan, large and small, were added together, they would not be half as big as the Shensi Pavilion.
Shensi Pavilion has eight front pavilions, which contain classics written by the gods of the past dynasties, including poems, songs and some miscellaneous notes left by them.
Why are there so many chambermaids?
They seem to know in advance that an assassin is coming, and they seem to have been waiting here!
Gongsun Wen was slightly flustered, and there were shouts of servants everywhere.
Chang Decai handed the letter to Li Quangen, and Li Quangen knew Gongsun Wen's location.
But it was not that easy for Gongsun Wen to leave. He had made preparations in advance and had a route to escape unscathed. However, something happened suddenly, the situation was disrupted, and he was trapped in the garden.
The king of gods handled government affairs in the front hall, went to the god's retreat to calm down, and then went to the harem to enjoy life.
Wait, why go to the harem directly? Gongsun Wen is in Shenjingju! Why did you skip it?
You didn't check it out, just skipped it. What kind of attitude is this? What kind of sense of responsibility is this?
Everyone thought that Gongsun Wen went to the harem. If he didn't have a magical eye, even Xu Zhiqiong would think that Gongsun Wen went to the harem.
Hu Qiuman heard Gongsun Wen's direction and deliberately shouted: "This window is full of floating soil, look at how you clean it up!"
Gongsun Wen felt uneasy. He knew that Hong Juncheng had a high level of cultivation and was not inferior to him.
The Imperial Guards did not expect this assassin to be so powerful, so they quickly chased after him from the garden to Shenjingju, but actually lost track of him.
Now if we don’t want hard steel, we have to have hard steel.
Gongsun Wen, who was hiding on the third floor of Youxian Pavilion, was watching Xuanhua Pavilion quietly when he suddenly heard the door of the book pavilion being opened.
The reason sounds very ridiculous, just because God's meditation is the boundary between the front and back houses.
Gongsun Wen broke into your palace and killed your people. He came and left when he wanted. Why don't you come out and take a look?
Hong Juncheng really didn’t come out.
Hearing the sounds outside gradually fading away, Gongsun Wen quietly stood up and prepared to jump over the wall and leave.
Hong Juncheng, can you bear this?
It can be seen that Gongsun Wen's previous preparations were no less than Yuan Chengfeng's, and his desire for the throne was no less than Yuan Chengfeng's.
Moreover, the Imperial Army seemed to have received an order, telling them to go directly to the harem and not stay in the God's Quiet Residence.
But things changed after the election. With Gongsun Wen's background at that time, the chance of being admitted to the Jinshi was very slim. After failing to win the imperial examination three times, Gongsun Wen went to the Shenji Company to find another way out.
Shenjingju is a courtyard with three vertical and horizontal entrances. Gongsun Wen was hiding next to a pond in the main courtyard.
The secrets of the Qiancheng Kingdom cannot be told to outsiders. No one except the Divine Lord is qualified to consult them, so the security of the secret pavilion is very tight.
"There are assassins!" Hu Qiuman shouted in a high-pitched voice, while shouting, he quickly retreated.
These chamberlains neither intercepted nor chased, they only did two things, one was to shout and the other was to light the lamp.
However, taking pictures cannot convey such detailed information. Li Quangen is directing the eunuchs of Zhidian to arrest the assassins, and there is no way to receive Xu Zhiqiong's letters now.
What worries Gongsun Wen even more is that even after a hard battle, he defeated Hong Juncheng, but in the end he was taken advantage of by Xu Zhiqiong.
It is Hong Juncheng who is dealing with Gongsun Wen, so his own strength cannot be damaged.
These servants who came to clean the house were all sent by Li Quangen, and they all had good cultivation.
Gongsun Wen also noticed something. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt stiffness in the joints all over his body.
Next, what Gongsun Wen had to do was to wait for Xu Zhiqiong to take action, until Xu Zhiqiong and Hong Juncheng fought until both sides were injured. Gongsun Wen happened to show up, first get rid of Xu Zhiqiong's stumbling block, and then kill Hong Juncheng to ascend the throne.
The garden was not too big, and Gongsun Wen hid in a cluster of flowers.
In the palace, even if they were evenly matched, Hong Juncheng still had a huge advantage.
Someone had provided Gongsun Wen with a map of the palace in advance.
But the chamberlain could only call people and could not fight with Gongsun Wen. This was Xu Zhiqiong's order.
These books are the classic textbooks of Qiancheng Kingdom and are also the main basis for setting questions for scientific examinations. The original texts, annotations, themes, essences and extensions of the classics all have fixed contents.
Gongsun Wen sneaked into the secret pavilion and quietly hid in the thirteenth secret pavilion - Youxian Pavilion.
There are also sixteen secret pavilions, eight of which record various secrets of the Qiancheng Kingdom, and the other eight record various secrets of evil sects and heretics.
The only question is, will Xu Zhiqiong assassinate Hong Juncheng tonight?
Gongsun Wen had already arrived at Hong Juncheng's side, so the heavy responsibility of the assassination was naturally assigned to him.
In addition to etiquette, there are also laws, which are numerous and occupy two bookstores.
Through his divine eyes, Xu Zhiqiong saw Gongsun Wen killing dozens of guards one after another, knocking down a group of forbidden soldiers with his awe-inspiring righteousness, and then fled into the garden next to the secret pavilion.
The skill of Pan Python!
This is not a daily routine, but Hong Juncheng is coming to Youxian Pavilion, so the waiters are preparing in advance!
Doesn't he want to sleep in Xuanhua Pavilion?
Gongsun Wen believes that Xu Zhiqiong will definitely come!
Xu Zhiqiong will indeed come, but the specific time may be different from what Gongsun Wen thought.
This is bad!
Gongsun Wen knew that he could no longer hide, so he cautiously came to the window and prepared to jump out of the window and escape.
These books can also be seen in the Qiancheng market, but they are not in large numbers. Except for the laws of etiquette and laws, other types of books are regarded as low-class learning and are despised by gentlemen.
Although Gongsun Wen's cultivation was high, he was still a Confucian. No matter the sound of climbing or footsteps, it could not escape the ears of the servants.
Next there are books on engineering, music, farming, witchcraft, medicine, mathematics, chess, painting... all kinds of books.
Gongsun Wen quickly landed, and the chamberlains guarding outside Youxian Pavilion all shouted: "There is an assassin!"
A dozen chamberlains were sweeping the second floor, and Gongsun Wen was no longer calm.
To put it bluntly, there are eight bookstores that record the practice methods of various Taoist sects. Practice itself is a crime in Qiancheng Kingdom, and such books are naturally not legal.
First of all, all the servants in the palace, except Qin Yan who could barely cope with it, were no match for Gongsun Wen.
Be patient.
He really could bear it.
Xu Zhiqiong, who had been looking at the divine eyes, couldn't help but be stunned.
After the secret pavilion, there are eight tail pavilions. There are some idle books in the tail pavilion, including famous works and paintings by literati from past dynasties.
Moreover, Xu Zhiqiong did not allow any of his servants to reveal their cultivation level.
Youxian Pavilion is not too close to Xuanhua Pavilion, but the view is very good. If Xu Zhiqiong goes to Xuanhua Pavilion to assassinate Hong Juncheng tonight, he will definitely not be able to escape Gongsun Wen's eyes.
Gongsun Wen was startled, but he did not panic. His first reaction was not that his whereabouts had been exposed, but that a servant came in to clean up.
The garden has been heavily surrounded by the Forbidden Army. As long as the encirclement is closed, Gongsun Wen is bound to be arrested.
This guy is so well prepared!
The imperial army cannot pursue, but can the chamberlain pursue?
Gongsun Wen walked in the Qiancheng Palace as if he were walking in his own home. He was so familiar with the palace!
Confucian practitioners are not good at sneaking in and assassinating, but along the way, Gongsun Wen accurately avoided the guard posts of the Forbidden Army, the patrolling guards, and all the internal servants and palace people.
He knows the rules in the palace.
Deng Deng, Deng Deng!
The sound of footsteps came, and the waiter came up!
And there’s more than one!
Hu Qiuman, the eunuch in charge of the Zhidian Supervisor, shouted: "Clean it up. The Lord God will come soon. If he sees any dust, he will chop off all your heads and hang them on the broom as bells!"
Not long after, the entire Shensi Pavilion was brightly lit, and the imperial army and guards were chasing and intercepting him. Gongsun Wen seemed to have no way to escape!
Xu Zhiqiong adjusted the perspective of the divine machine eye and saw the overall layout of the garden.
The old-fashioned Gongsun Wen was still hiding in the corner of the third floor of the library, and soon he heard the sound of the chambermaid wiping dust and sweeping the floor.
Xu Zhiqiong was anxious and kept reminding Li Quangen by taking pictures, asking him to send people to Shenjingju to check. Gongsun Wen could be exposed with just two shouts.
Gongsun Wen was a scholar, and he was very familiar with the classics of the Eight Great Books. His mentor once taught him that as long as he could memorize the classics of all ages, it would not be a problem to pass the imperial examination.
These books are collected in various bookstores according to different categories, among which etiquette is the most popular, occupying three whole bookstores.
The imperial army quickly obtained Hong Juncheng's permission and entered the harem directly.
This should be a routine cleaning, and the maids will not clean it too carefully, or even go to the third floor at all.
In the midst of the tangle, Gongsun Wen made up his mind to break out of the encirclement tonight and never fight Hong Juncheng.
Besides, there is no use in killing Hu Qiuman. The top priority is to escape as soon as possible.
When the Forbidden Army entered Shenjingju, it was equivalent to entering the harem area, which required the permission of the Divine Lord. Gongsun Wen took full advantage of the Forbidden Army's weakness of not entering the harem at will, hid in Shenjingju, and successfully escaped the pursuit of the Forbidden Army.
How did Gongsun Wen know where Hong Juncheng was?
He must have some internal agents in the palace. He must have received the news and found Xuanhua Pavilion!
Not only was the location found accurate, but the route was also very accurate.
The letter contained a map, which Li Quangen drew for Xu Zhiqiong. There were marks left by Xu Zhiqiong on the map.
Xu Zhiqiong dropped a letter into the magic circle, and Chang De, who was hiding in the palace, received the letter.
Why did you come to Youxian Pavilion again in the middle of the night?
Gongsun Wen quickly speculated:
Hong Juncheng knew that Xu Zhiqiong was coming to assassinate him, so he deliberately changed his place to live!
Youxian Pavilion is very suitable for launching an ambush on Xuanhua Pavilion. Hong Juncheng is using a trick to capture Xu Zhiqiong.
Can chase.
After passing the eight front pavilions, we came to the sixteen middle pavilions. These sixteen book pavilions contain various types of books from different periods and regions.
While talking, Hu Qiuman pushed open the window and saw Gongsun Wen hanging in the air.
But the map alone was useless. Li Quangen also drew a picture for Xu Zhiqiong. Qiancheng Palace was too vast. With this picture, Xu Zhiqiong would never be able to sneak into the secret pavilion so smoothly.
Gongsun Wen wanted to kill Hu Qiuman, but Hu Qiuman retreated too quickly, and Gongsun Wen had no chance to take action.
Xu Zhiqiong just received the news from Li Quangen that Hong Juncheng moved into Xuanhua Pavilion an hour ago.
Youxian Pavilion mainly contains the classics of Xuanwu Underworld. Gongsun Wen came here not to read books. He hid on the third floor of the book pavilion and quietly observed the tenth secret pavilion - Xuanwu Pavilion through a small window.
The movement in the Hua Pavilion.
In the calm pond, a figure slowly emerged and appeared behind Gongsun Wen.
What a perfect idea.
He combed through every road around the garden in his mind, and after choosing a direction, Gongsun Wenji, with great righteousness, opened a road through the Forbidden Army, and then broke through the encirclement.
After the Middle Pavilion, there is the Secret Pavilion. The books here are not found in the market.
Of course, these forbidden troops and guards were no match for Gongsun Wen. The reason why Gongsun Wen did not dare to fight his way out was because he was afraid of facing Hong Juncheng directly.
Canglong’s domineering technique!
In the main hall of the Divine Lord, there is only one person with domineering skills, and that is Hong Juncheng.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled, it turned out that the old emperor was so treacherous.
Let's do it.
When you two fight until both sides are injured, it will be up to me and Lao Chang to take care of you.
Thank you to the new alliance leader Hua Yan Gourd, thank you to the new alliance leader Falcon Zhibai, thank you to the old alliance leader for your eternal fairy tale dream, thank you to the alliance leader enjoymm, thank you to the leader of Snow Mountain Yuanfeng, thank you to all the protectors, all the hall leaders, all the helmsmen, all the deacons,
