It was cold and freezing, and no one was stationed on weekdays, let alone on this windy and snowy night. Hu Xiaotian opened the wine cellar and walked in, shaking off the snowflakes all over his body. The wine cellar completely isolated the howling cold wind.
Outside, Hu Xiaotian took the lantern and walked quickly down the secret passage. He arrived at the well of Zilan Palace and climbed up along the wall of the well.
When he climbed out of the well, he found that the snow outside was getting heavier. Such weather naturally created perfect conditions for him to cover up his whereabouts, but it was also very difficult to move. When he looked in the direction of the Purple Orchid Palace, he saw
The palace was dark, and there were no lights on in Long Xiyue's study. It seemed that the beautiful princess was asleep. Maybe she couldn't wait because she missed the appointment, or maybe she didn't understand the meaning of her gesture at all. Hu Xiaotian was about to go back
At that time, I felt a little unwilling to come all the way, so I crept outside the study and listened at the window. I didn't hear any movement. There should be no one inside.
Just when Hu Xiaotian decided to leave, he suddenly saw lights coming on in the direction of the Purple Orchid Palace. Not long after, he saw the door open, and a girl in a dark blue cloak walked out with a lantern.
.
Hu Xiaotian had already judged from the figure of the other party that it was Long Xiyue. He was surprised and happy in his heart. It seemed that Princess Anping had been aroused by him. She did not forget to meet him even late at night and was about to go to bed.
They recognized each other in front of him, but his mouth was unexpectedly covered by someone from behind. Hu Xiaotian was so shocked that the other person pressed him against the wall and raised an index finger to him: "Shh!" It was Li Yuncong, the old eunuch of the library.
Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. This old eunuch must have been following him all the way. He was so careless that he was not aware of his actions. He couldn't help but feel scared when he thought about it. If Li Yuncong wanted to kill him, he might have lost all his ten lives.
This old guy's martial arts is probably even more powerful than Quan De'an and Ji Feihua.
The two of them watched Long Xiyue's actions together. Hu Xiaotian secretly shouted that something was wrong. This time he was in trouble. Li Yuncong most likely broke up the matter between him and Long Xiyue. Long Xiyue raised a lantern in the courtyard.
After looking, she didn't see Hu Xiaotian's shadow, and she seemed quite disappointed. She sighed quietly, turned around and went back to the palace.
With Li Yuncong by his side, Hu Xiaotian didn't dare to recognize Long Xiyue. After Long Xiyue left, Li Yuncong pointed to the well and flew up first. Hu Xiaotian followed closely, but saw Li Yuncong.
It's like flying on the ground on the snow without leaving any traces. This light skill is really astonishing. On the other hand, I don't have the skills of others. Although I deliberately hide the traces of my footsteps, I still leave shallow footprints on the snow. This is
It doesn't matter, the snow is falling heavily, and it won't take long for the footprints to be completely covered.
Li Yuncong signaled Hu Xiaotian to enter the wellhead first, and waited until Hu Xiaotian entered. With a wave of his right hand, an invisible palm force struck out, like a strong wind blowing from the ground, and scattered Hu Xiaotian's shallow footprints. This shows that he
Be cautious.
The two of them returned to the cave one after another. Hu Xiaotian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and saluted Li Yuncong: "Eunuch Li!"
Li Yuncong said: "Exploring the Zilan Palace at night, you are really courageous. Do you want to do harm to the princess?"
Hu Xiaotian complained endlessly: "Eunuch Li, you have wronged me. Didn't you say that there is a secret passage leading to Piaomiao Mountain. So I took advantage of the snowy night to find the location of the secret passage."
Li Yuncong was doubtful and sneered: "You really have good intentions."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "How did my father-in-law get here?" In his impression, there was only a hole as thick as a wrist between the library and the secret passage. Could it be that Li Yuncong could slip through the hole? Could this old guy be?
What turned into a snake spirit? Can it actually get in through such a small hole?
Li Yuncong said: "Purple Orchid Palace is not a mysterious place. If you can come, the Zajia family can come." As he said this, he walked back. Hu Xiaotian followed Li Yuncong, and couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. Secret passage? Hurry him now.
Mom has become the Avenue of Stars, and anyone can come and take a walk. Quan De'an knows, Ji Feihua knows, and now Li Yuncong also knows. And Li Yuncong seems to know more than himself, but he just doesn't know him.
Did he come to Zilan Palace by chance tonight or did he follow himself all the way here?
When they came to the fork in the road, Li Yuncong turned towards the library. Hu Xiaotian had no intention of returning to the Siyuan Bureau Wine Cellar, but continued to move forward with Li Yuncong. Li Yuncong didn't say anything or made a sound to stop him, and allowed Hu Xiaotian to follow him.
Go to the cave in the library.
The old eunuch raised his head, glanced upward, then jumped into the air, tapping his feet back and forth on the edge of the cave. At this time, Li Yuncong still looked half-elderly, and his body continued to rise in the cave.
In an instant, he had reached the top of the cave. With a gentle lift of his hand, he lifted up the entire rock of the cave, revealing a cave entrance that could accommodate one person. Hu Xiaotian looked up, speechless. Last time he and he
Bao Bao also explored carefully, but after searching for a long time, they only found a ventilation hole, but they did not expect that there was an exit at the top that seemed to have reached the end.
Li Yuncong glanced down at Hu Xiaotian, who was still in a daze, and snorted coldly: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you come up quickly?"
Hu Xiaotian finally came to his senses. He was not as capable as Li Yuncong, but he had more skills than when he came last time. He climbed up the wall quickly with his hands and feet.
Climbing up, he suddenly thought, what if Li Yuncong kicked him in the face? If he fell from such a height, wouldn't I be miserable? Fortunately, Li Yuncong didn't do such a petty thing.
What you see when you climb out of the cave is a narrow passage. This passage is located between the wall and a seated statue of Wen Sheng. The Wen Sheng statue is about two feet high and weighs more than three thousand kilograms. It just covers the top of the cave. The color at the bottom
It is the same as the rock formations on the ground. Don’t say that Hu Xiaotian didn’t discover it at the time. Even if he discovered this secret, it would be impossible for him to move the statue into it with his current skills. Li Yuncong was in a cave, but he was able to move such a heavy statue of Wen Sheng.
Standing up from the ground, this person's martial arts are actually shocking to the world.
After walking around the statue of Wen Sheng and coming to the room, he saw that the surroundings were surrounded by stacks of bookshelves, which should be part of the library. When Hu Xiaotian looked around, Li Yuncong lit the candle in the room, and the flickering candlelight illuminated his wrinkled face.
On his face, Li Yuncong became more and more unfathomable in the changing light and shadow.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Li, is this the library?"
Li Yuncong smiled and said: "This is of course the Library Pavilion. We are now on the sixth floor of the Library Pavilion. In the palace, apart from the Zajia family and the Supreme Emperor, you are the only one who has been to this place."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "So Xiaotian is lucky?"
Li Yuncong said: "Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. No one can say whether it is good or bad."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Eunuch Li is absolutely right, just like Xiaotian was entrusted with the important task of managing Mingyue Palace. He thought it was a good thing, but after he actually took over, he found out that it was a miserable job."
Li Yuncong said meaningfully: "Only you can know in your heart whether you are suffering or not. But the Za family heard that within a few days after the talented man entered the Mingyue Palace, two people died one after another. Many people in the palace were saying that this talented man was
An unlucky person."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just rumors. In fact, one of the so-called two lives was witnessed by Eunuch Li with his own eyes." When Ji Feihua killed Wang Decai, Li Yuncong happened to be at the scene, and Wen Ya had not yet entered the palace at that time.
Li Yuncong nodded and said, "When you say that, the Zajia family will remember it."
"As for the other life, it was actually Xiaotian's fault and had nothing to do with this new talented man." If he did it, he wouldn't be afraid to admit it, not to mention it was something everyone knew.
Li Yuncong said: "It's rare to see someone kill someone in the palace and still be fully recovered."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The eunuch I killed was named Ma Liangpeng, and he was the spy sent by Ji Feihua to Mingyue Palace."
Li Yuncong's white eyebrows twitched: "Weren't you also sent there by Ji Feihua? In this case, wouldn't it mean that the Dragon King Temple was flooded and the whole family no longer recognized each other?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I won't hide it from Eunuch Li, I didn't know anything about it before."
Li Yuncong said: "It seems that Ji Feihua doesn't fully trust you. That little eunuch must be monitoring you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It should be so. When I was talking to Bao Bao, he ran to the window and eavesdropped. Fortunately, I noticed him, so I attacked him."
Li Yuncong murmured: "Baobao! Have you put the things that the Za family gave you to use?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The flute that Eunuch Li gave me is really a good thing. Just blowing it gently can make her not want to die, but she can only be obedient."
Li Yuncong said: "So, the palace maid has already obeyed you?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "I can no longer be obedient. Now she has to do whatever I ask her to do? Not only that, Xiaotian also has an unexpected gain."
Li Yuncong was quite surprised when he heard about the unexpected gains. After Hu Xiaotian finished talking about Lin Wan in Ling Yu Palace, Li Yuncong realized that this kid had actually done so many things with the resuscitation flute.
Hu Xiaotian said: "According to what they said, they were poisoned by a chronic poison called Wan Chong Gu Gu Pill. Once it attacks, it will be quite painful. Only your old antidote can relieve their pain." Hu Xiaotian
Complimented: "Eunuch Li's methods are really high, really high!"
Li Yuncong said coldly: "The Wan Chong Bone Erosion Pill they won has nothing to do with the Za family."
Hu Xiaotian just used this sentence to trick him. Now Hu Xiaotian even suspected that Li Yuncong was Hong Beimo.
Li Yuncong said: "What happened to the matter that the Za family asked you to investigate?"
