There are three terraces in Ye Palace - Tongque Terrace, Jinfeng Terrace and Jade Dragon Terrace. They were first built by Cao Cao and expanded by Shi Hu, and the Jade Dragon Terrace was changed into Bingjing Terrace. Among them, the Tongque Terrace is 27 feet high, majestic like a mountain and extremely majestic. The double eaves are decorated with copper covers, which are illuminated by the sun and are full of colors. There is also a giant bronze bird placed on the top of the building, with its wings stretched out in the wind, as if it is flying -
However, in just fifteen years, the once prosperous and luxurious Tongquesantai has been completely changed. Although it has been repaired by the Xianbei royal family, it is far inferior to the grandeur of the past with its towering towers and twin bridges. However, in Chen Cao's view, Come on, the remaining bronze bird and golden phoenix are still spectacular, and there is also a sense of desolation and vicissitudes beyond the splendor.
Murong Chong led Chen Caozhi to the garden and slipped away first. He must have arranged for his sister, Princess Qinghe, to meet Chen Caozhi. Chen Caozhi knew Fenghuang'er's thoughts, and this son had the potential to be a leader. Because of Boliu's potential and hobbies, he had to browse and remember the location of the towers in the garden as soon as possible. The old monk took advantage of the situation and said that a hundred steps to the left from the back door of Xuanguang Hall is the Jinfengtai Hongqiao. One hundred steps is about 150 meters in later generations. This location should be relatively easy to confirm.
Chen Caozhi walked among the flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, and walked quickly to the northeast. Along the way, he also met a few maids and chamberlains, but they just looked at him and no one said a word to ask.
After walking a few dozen feet, Chen Caozhi looked up at the Jinfengtai Hongqiao, which was a hundred meters ahead and to the right. If he wanted to go to the general direction of Xuanguang Hall on the right side of the Jinfengtai Hongqiao, he would have to pass by a small lake with an area of ten acres. There is a covered bridge in the shape of a half-moon.
Chen Caozhi said in his heart: "Xuanguang Hall should be in the palace area. I can't go there, but looking at the Golden Phoenix Terrace, it seems to belong to the inner garden. If I can get up to the Golden Phoenix Terrace, I should be able to determine the location of Xuanguang Palace." One on the left and right. Looking, I saw a chamberlain coming over, and asked, "Can I go up to this Golden Phoenix Tower?"
The waiter was a little panicked and replied: "I don't know, I don't know."
Chen Caozhi shook his head and said: "Go and inform His Highness the King of Zhongshan and ask him to look for me under the Golden Phoenix Tower."
The waiter quickly agreed and went in a bit of a hurry.
Chen Caozhi walked across the half-moon-shaped covered bridge on the lake, then bypassed a hill made of lake mud, and came to the foot of the Golden Phoenix Tower. He saw that the platform was in a dilapidated state. The bricks and stones on the platform were intertwined. The five-story high-rise building on the platform also had rotten doors and windows. The paint peeled off, the auxiliary buildings on both sides were burned, and a corner of the top floor was chopped off by lightning. It was scorched black. It must be that after being struck by lightning, a heavy rain followed, so this building was not burned down. Also, From a distance, I thought that the Hong Bridge of Jinfeng Terrace was connected to the Tongque Terrace, but when I looked closer, I realized that they were also separated. It was just a dangerous bridge leaning against the sky, crumbling——
The grass was withered and yellow, the stone lins were buried, and the abandoned platform was deserted. This was exactly what Chen Cao wanted. He lifted up the corners of his robe and tucked it around his waist. He walked up to the Golden Phoenix Terrace among the rocks and basil, climbed to the highest floor of the Golden Phoenix Terrace from the side stairs, and took a look around. With a panoramic view of the huge Yecheng palace, look towards the north direction, then estimate the distance of a hundred steps to find the approximate location of Xuanguang Hall——
Two hundred steps southwest of Jinfengtai, a large number of craftsmen are busy. Six magnificent halls are built next to each other, and the other three are being erected. The outlines are already visible. This should be the rebuilt Nine Taiwu Halls. Combined with the Jinfengtai where you are. , Chen Caozhi basically confirmed the location of Xuanguang Hall. There is an ancient palace there. It is more than a hundred steps to the left from Jinfeng Terrace, and a hundred and fifty steps to the right is the majestic Taiwu Ninth Hall, and the hall's Ahead, facing the palace gate in the distance, the old monk did not mention that the palace gate must not be visible in front of Xuanguang Hall because there are other palaces blocking it.
Chen Caozhi looked around and took note of the more eye-catching buildings around the palace city, so he got off the Golden Phoenix Terrace. He was waiting to follow the original path and cross the small lake covered bridge to look for the goddess Mulan, when he suddenly saw a tall and thin man striding across the covered bridge.
When he came, he subconsciously ducked behind a stone unicorn, heard the sound of the man's footsteps, and came to the abandoned garden. When he passed by the stone unicorn, Chen Caozhi recognized this person as Murong Ping, the king of Shangyong.
Chen Caozhi originally wanted to greet Chen Cao, but he wanted to come here without being embarrassed. Murong Ping might be suspicious if he saw him. After hesitating like this, Murong Ping had already quickly climbed up to the Golden Phoenix Tower and disappeared after climbing the stairs.
There was a sound on the stairs, and when I reached the second floor, there was no movement——
Chen Caozhi secretly wondered what Murong Ping was doing. He came to this deserted building alone and seemed to be heading straight for his destination——
Chen Caozhi waited for a while, but Murong Ping didn't come downstairs. He couldn't stay here for long, so he wanted to go out. Before he had taken two steps, he saw another person walking from the covered bridge on the lake. His golden bun was particularly eye-catching in the sun.
With her snow-skinned face and full blue eyes, she is the Empress Dowager of the Yan Kingdom and worthy of the Hun family!
