Long Xiyue sighed quietly and said: "Even if I follow you all over the mountains, it's better than staying here where you don't see the sun."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked. He thought Long Xiyue had seen him, but then he thought about it. There was no possibility at all. He was lying on the dark well wall like a gecko. No matter how good Long Xiyue's eyesight was, he couldn't see.
to him.
Long Xiyue sat down on the edge of the well, picked a chrysanthemum, crushed the petals, and threw them into the well one by one. Hu Xiaotian looked up at the beauty's silhouette under the moon and was almost drunk, but he did not expect that a petal fell down.
When he reached the top of his nose, his nose felt itchy and uncomfortable. He couldn't bear it for a moment, sneeze! This sneeze was earth-shattering, because it was at night, and Hu Xiaotian was in a well, and the well played an excellent role.
Amplification effect.
Long Xiyue didn't expect that there was anyone in the well at all. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her delicate body trembled. She wanted to turn around and run away, but in panic, her foot slipped and she fell in from the well mouth. Hu Xiaotian had quick eyes and quick hands and stretched out his right hand.
He held her waist up with his arms, inserted his left hand deeply into the cracks in the well wall, and used all his strength to avoid falling into the well with Long Xiyue.
Long Xiyue let out a scream, and as soon as she screamed, she heard a familiar voice saying: "Don't scream, it's me!"
Long Xiyue judged from the voice that it was Hu Xiaotian. She was surprised and happy, but she immediately woke up from the short-term joy. How could he appear here? Her beautiful eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the well.
The moonlight that penetrated clearly made it clear that the person in front of him was indeed Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian listened, but there was no movement outside. It seemed that Long Xiyue's scream did not attract too many people's attention. He lowered his voice and said: "I ask you to climb up."
Long Xiyue whispered: "Why are you here?"
"It's a long story. You go up first and then talk about it!"
Hu Xiaotian asked Long Xiyue to climb up along his body. Long Xiyue worked hard. She climbed along his back to his shoulders, stepped on Hu Xiaotian's shoulders with her feet, and grabbed the mouth of the well with her hands. Hu Xiaotian slowly
Climbing up, he held her up little by little. Long Xiyue finally succeeded in climbing out of the well mouth. After all this effort, her hair was disheveled and her pretty face was blushing. At this time, a figure hurriedly walked over in the distance, but it was
Her personal maid Zicuckoo.
Long Xiyue wanted to reach out and help Hu Xiaotian climb up, but when she saw Zicuckoo approaching, she coughed twice and signaled Hu Xiaotian not to climb up at this time.
When Zijuan saw Long Xiyue sitting on the edge of the well, she couldn't help but panicked and said, "Princess, why are you sitting there? Get up quickly. If you fall, it will be troublesome."
Long Xiyue stood up and said: "I just want to be alone, you don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself."
Zicuckoo still wanted to persuade Long Xiyue, who had always been gentle and quiet, but she rarely became angry and scolded: "Didn't you hear what I said? You all get out of here. I don't need your service tonight. I just want to be alone."
Be quiet."
Zicuckoo was obviously frightened by Long Xiyue's unknown anger. She lowered her head and said timidly: "Princess, don't be angry, I will leave now."
After Zijuan left, Long Xiyue walked over and closed the door of the inner courtyard. After doing all this, she returned to the well. Hu Xiaotian was about to lose strength at this moment, and Long Xiyue reached out her hand to the mouth of the well and whispered.
Said: "I'll pull you up."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Forget it, to avoid others' suspicion, I will come back to you another day." As he said this, the guy retreated downwards. After taking two steps back, he remembered something again and whispered to Long Xiyue: "This is
You must not tell anyone else what happened, otherwise my life will be in danger."
Long Xiyue bit her lips. Although she was extremely curious about how he got here, and guessed that there were probably secret passages connecting the well, she knew that with her own skills, it was impossible to follow him to explore.
After all, I could only watch Hu Xiaotian’s figure getting further and further away from the mouth of the well. Fang felt melancholy in her heart for no reason, and said to the inside of the well: "You have to be careful..."
A knowing smile appeared on Hu Xiaotian's lips. Long Xiyue told herself to be careful, that is, she would definitely not betray herself. Her charm is really powerful. Even as a eunuch, she can make the princess have such a good impression of her. If she wants to know
You are an upright man, so why don't you love yourself with all your heart?
When people feel good about themselves, they will be in a good mood. When the mood is good, fatigue will be swept away immediately. Hu Xiaotian is as light as a swallow and climbed back into the secret passage in a blink of an eye. Before leaving, he did not forget to look up.
Looking at the mouth of the well, Long Xiyue's pretty face had long been blurred, but she was still looking at him there.
It was already late at night when he returned to Siyuan Bureau. Hu Xiaotian opened the door of the wine cellar and went out with a jar of wine. As soon as he came to his room, he saw Shi Xuedong and Xiao Zhuozi rushing over in a hurry. Shi Xuedong was angry.
Bu took the breath and said: "No...it's not good..."
Xiao Zhuozi was also panting heavily, but it was better than Shi Xuedong. He continued what Shi Xuedong said: "Little Dengzi was beaten!"
Hu Xiaotian frowned. Xiao Dengzi was assigned to maintain the Royal Forest Garden, which is the area that Wang Desheng was responsible for in the past. He rarely comes to the Siyuan Bureau recently. The boy is usually kind to others and has a good eye. Why?
Will he be beaten suddenly?
"What did you do?" Hu Xiaotian's first reaction was that Xiao Dengzi did something wrong and was punished.
Xiao Zhuozi shook his head and said: "I didn't do anything wrong. It is said that I killed Queen Jian's favorite chrysanthemum, so I was beaten."
Hu Xiaotian was secretly angry. It was Queen Jian again. That old woman was really worried. After calming down and thinking about it, this matter must be unusual. There was no reason for Queen Jian to embarrass a low-level eunuch.
Shi Xuedong finally calmed down and said angrily: "It was Wang Decai's grandson who led the people to beat him. He went over there to find Wang Decai. Xiao Dengzi offended him when he talked, so he and his gang of accomplices
They swarmed up and beat Xiao Dengzi so hard that his arm was broken. They were really cruel.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Where is Xiao Dengzi?"
Xiao Zhuozi said: "Send him to the Tai Hospital for bone retrieval. The bones have been reattached. Let him stay in the Tai Hospital for the time being to recuperate. But we can't decide whether to tell Eunuch Liu about this matter."
Hu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Eunuch Liu has a lot of troubles himself, so it's better not to cause him any more troubles."
Shi Xuedong said: "Brother, Wang Decai has always suspected that we hid his brother and is thinking about dealing with us all the time. We can't always be so tolerant."
Hu Xiaotian said: "He is a celebrity around the queen, we can't kill him." But he was thinking in his heart that it is time to get rid of this trouble. It is not yet known whether Wang Decai knows about the underground secret passage.
Judging from the current situation, Wang Desheng probably didn't have time to tell him this secret, but everything must be considered carefully. Since Wang Decai was able to use the Queen to summon him to Xinning Palace today, he doesn't know what kind of trouble will arise in the future.
It is easy to dodge a gun but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. It is not easy to make a living in this palace, so how can you still have the energy to be wary of this villain at all times?
Hu Xiaotian thought about it and decided that the most reliable way was to join forces with Qiqi. As long as Qiqi was willing to help, it would be easy to eradicate Wang Decai.
The first thing Hu Xiaotian had to deal with was Quan De'an. Seeing that the ultimatum he had given him was about to come, Hu Xiaotian took the map he drew and went to the Four Seasons Dry Goods Store at the agreed time. As expected, Quan De'an was waiting for him there, and Hu Xiaotian would
The map is presented with both hands.
Quan De'an looked at the map, frowned, pointed to the secret passage in the middle and whispered: "Does this secret passage lead to the mouth of a well?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Yes!"
"Where is the wellhead?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "Eunuch Quan, I don't know how many wells there are in this palace. I touched the well hole in the middle of the night. I don't know where it is? What's more, the walls of the well are wet and slippery. With my little skills, you should
Clearly, I don’t have the ability to climb up at all, so I have to blame you for this.”
Quan De'an frowned: "What are you doing with the Za family?"
"Last time I asked you to teach me some Qinggong. I didn't want to learn any superb martial arts like walking on snow without leaving a trace and crossing water. I just wanted to learn the ability to climb roofs and climb over walls. But you are so stingy.
It's a pity that you hide your secrets from me. I have the heart to get to the bottom of things for you, but it's a pity that I don't have the ability. In the end, I can only look at the well and sigh and go back."
Quan De'an snorted coldly. This guy's eloquence was too strong. The old eunuch was not in the mood to argue with him. Knowing that he could not argue with him, he pointed at another secret passage on the map with his claw-like fingers.
: "This leads to somewhere."
Hu Xiaotian concealed this important part of the Purple Orchid Palace, and did not dare to lie about the other two places. He whispered: "I have checked clearly here, it leads to the library pavilion."
"Library Pavilion?" Quan De'an's deep eyes flashed with a strange look.
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
"You're in?"
"No, I climbed to the end and found that there was only one hole connected to the library. The hole was only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. I'm not a mouse, how could I get in?"
Quan De'an narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know which floor of the library the hole leads to?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I heard someone talking inside. One is Eunuch Li and the other is a commander named Li."
"What did you say?" Quan De'an looked extremely concerned about this matter.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The commander surnamed Li went to deliver the "Dakang Tongjian". He also said that he wanted to borrow the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" from Eunuch Li, saying that it was copied by Emperor Taizong himself."
Quan De'an said: "Dakang Tongjian was compiled by Qiu Qingshan, the order of Taishi. It is currently in its fifth volume. It should be on the third floor of the library."
Hu Xiaotian has never met Taishi Ling Qiu Qingshan, but he has dealt with his two sons in the past. Speaking of which, he severely punished his two sons, Qiu Zhigao and Qiu Zhitang, when they attended the PEN meeting in Yanshui Pavilion.

The fourth update is here. I know you don’t have many monthly tickets on hand. Octopus wants to ask you something. I don’t know who I offended today. The evaluation ticket was maliciously lowered. Every VIP reader should have a free evaluation ticket.
Yes, I hope everyone can vote for more evaluations to give Yitong a fair evaluation! (To be continued)
