Chapter 166 The distant mountains are picturesque

After returning to the ancestral hall, he handed Wang Shuliang to Zhuo Qinghe and told him to take strict care of him. Lin Xiao then went straight to the back garden of the palace.

Prince Qing's Mansion already occupies a large area, and with the inheritance continuing and being managed from generation to generation, the scale of the gardens in the mansion is even more astonishing today.

Everywhere you see are wind pavilions and moon pavilions, Xingwu peach creeks, and several paths hidden among dots of green, connecting the rockery gardens, which creates a unique feeling of cave.

However, King Qing died, and a disaster suddenly hit the palace. At this time, there were no guards or maids in the garden. Lin Xiao walked all the way, but he didn't see a single living person.

Stepping on the railings of Hongqiao, after a few ups and downs, Lin Xiao, flying in the air, saw the garden jingshe located in the northwest corner from a distance.

Amid a patch of green bamboo, a vaguely white wall and gray tiles circled a large area.

Lin Xiao's thoughts moved slightly, and he was worried that something was wrong, so he restrained his body and quietly landed outside the monastery.

Walking along the path through the arch, you can hear the rustling of bamboo leaves beside your ears.

Walking slowly, you will see the eaves, double pavilions, and caves and doors connected to each other as you enter. Going forward, your sight suddenly broadens.

On one side of the path, there is a pond connected to the curved bank, with several strange rocks stacked on top of each other with stratus clouds. On the mirror-green water, the mist that has not yet dispersed in the morning floats and settles. It is quiet and leisurely, surrounding a place standing by the water.

Four-cornered flying pavilion.

But Lin Xiao's footsteps stopped silently at this moment.

Just because there is a beautiful figure in the pavilion, leaning on the railing and looking at it,

It was a girl with a pure white body, with black silk hanging down behind her back, and a few strands bent beside her ears. Her delicate and thin side face was engraved with something that was not bright at all, but as cold as spring water.

Eyes.

She just stood there quietly, like the clear moon in the sky, or like a white flower blooming in the clouds.

The wind is blowing.

Yanlan Manjuan.

The girl raised Ru Lansu's hand and brushed away a few strands of messy hair, revealing a wrist that looked like frost and snow.

Maybe she heard a noise in the distance, so she turned around and saw the person coming, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyebrows looked like picturesque mountains in the distance.

As soon as the two people's eyes met, Lin Xiao felt something was wrong and quickly bowed and bowed. When he looked up again, the girl had already left the Feiting and entered a bamboo forest.

"Who is this person?" Lin Xiao was confused.

Lin Xiao had already made various guesses about what Prince Qing had hidden in the monastery, but no matter how many thoughts he had, he never expected that he would meet a girl here.

The legitimate daughter of King Qing? Probably not.

Although they are almost the same age, judging from the information we have, the three sons and two daughters of King Qing are now in the front yard, under special care, and there is no possibility of appearing in the Garden Abode.

"Prince Qing has been coming here frequently these days just to see her?..."

"But what's the reason?"

Lin Xiao thought this way, but he didn't know where to start. What's more, there were female relatives in the monastery. He didn't wait for a long time, so he didn't check again and retreated out the same way.

As soon as I stepped out of the arch, I saw a figure in the distance. As if I had finally found myself, I jumped suddenly and then hurried over. It was Zhuo Qinghe.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, thinking that something was unexpected, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"I'm so panicked, but what's the big deal?"

Zhuo Qinghe bowed down and didn't bother to wipe his sweat. He raised his hands and it turned out to be a crimson seal.

"Reporting to the leader, my subordinates have just received the order from Tan Tang. Lord Lu, the governor, has come to Zhaoning in person. He has now arrived at the garrison yamen and is urgently calling for the leader to see him!"

"What did you say?"

Lin Xiao was startled. He took the order and took a quick look at it, and saw two lines of small words - Qianshan leader will immediately go to the garrison, Tantang Lu Guangqi.

Looking at this instruction, Lin Xiao's mind changed rapidly. The most important question now was, when Lu Guangqi moved towards him, did he see him or not?

If we go according to the original plan, there will still be at least five days before the arrival of Tan Tang on August 16th.

After you solve the problem of Prince Qing's rebellion, you still have at least a day or two to think of a way to fish in troubled waters.

Even at worst, you can rely on Zhuo Qinghe to sort things out, disguise yourself, and fool him.

But now?

The person who came was actually Lu Guangqi himself. There was absolutely no room for error and he was directly blocked in the matter.

If you don't go, all your efforts will be in vain, and you will also lose Tan Tang's skin. If you think of another way to leave your home country, wouldn't it be as difficult as climbing to heaven?

On the other hand, what if we go?

When he thought of this choice, even Lin Xiao himself laughed. He really thought that the birthday boy was hanging on his neck, just because he had a long life.

Just when Lin Xiao was hesitating secretly, Zhuo Qinghe, who was standing next to him, looked puzzled and said carefully: "Proposed Master? Why is the Proposed Master so frowning? This scandalous case of King Qing's rebellion was brought up just like this.

The Lord's lightness and subtlety, dissolving into the invisible, is a great achievement. Shouldn't the Governor himself come at just the right time?"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao came back to his senses and was startled when he heard this. "You said it was a great achievement. The governor came at the right time?"

Zhuo Qinghe nodded repeatedly. "Yes, it doesn't cost a single soldier. Isn't this a great achievement?"

But Lin Xiao's mind was elsewhere, and one question after another emerged in his heart.

"All the chief martial officers in Zhaoning City have disappeared. Is it Tan Tang's fault?"

"Did the leader Lu Guangqi already know about Prince Qing's rebellion?"

"Or, in other words, am I here early, or are you here early?

"If I had come earlier, wouldn't it be..."

When Lin Xiao thought of this, his eyes lit up, he suddenly smiled, turned around and asked, "Have any of Tantang's disciples come to take over the affairs in Prince Qing's Mansion?"

Zhuo Qinghe nodded quickly. "Replying to the leader, colleagues from Tantang have already come to support. Otherwise, how would my subordinates dare to leave their posts without authorization and come to report..."

"As expected." Lin Xiao muttered to himself, and then said: "Okay, I'll go meet the governor. You immediately return to the ancestral hall and keep an eye on Bai Xiangchen."

Zhuo Qinghe immediately bowed and accepted the order. "Yes, I understand!"

"Okay, let me know if you have anything."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he didn't care about Zhuo Qinghe's answer, picked up his posture, and went straight to the garrison.

After flying out of Prince Qing's Mansion and turning directly to the main north-south road, Zhaoning City at this time was a little different from the past.

There was not a single soul on the empty streets. The doors and windows of every store that should have been open to welcome the market were closed, and there was no sound. The whole city seemed to be still immersed in the dream of last night, and was not awakened by the brighter morning sun.

Average.

Heading north along the main road, it didn't take long before a pair of stone lions in front of the gate of the garrison came into view.

However, the original sergeant at the door has been replaced by a group of black-clothed guards holding swords on their waists.

Just from the appearance of keeping strangers away, and the aura of foreboding that he always exudes, we all know that it is better not to mess with this group of people.

He gathered his body and landed in front of the door. Before the guards could say anything, Lin Xiao raised his hand and showed Tan Tang's waistband. Then he saw everyone on the other side gave way and bowed.

"See the mentioner!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly and walked in without stopping.

After passing through the ceremonial gate and passing through the sixth room, before reaching the lobby, you saw an old man with gray hair, standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the plaque above.

"...the legacy of rituals and music, can you tell who wrote these four characters?"

Lin Xiao entered the hall, stood behind the old man, and only said, "I don't know."

The old man didn't seem to take it seriously.

"These four characters are personally written by His Majesty the Founding Emperor Wu. They were made by a craftsman and supervised by a craftsman and made into a plaque of 120 square meters. It hangs high in the five military prefecture garrison buildings. It is just to remind the officials of this area from time to time. Don't forget where we were born.

Wherever you come from, don’t forget that although your homeland has passed away, the rituals and music still remain..."

At this point, I let out a long sigh.

"It's a pity that for thousands of years, the plaque has been there, but people's hearts are not as old as before. A high-ranking nobleman has personal relationships with native people with evil intentions, and officials in the imperial court are colluding with each other..."

"Is this the sorrow of heaven? The sorrow of people? Is it the fault of the king? Is it the fault of the ministers?"

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous..."

The old man shook his head slowly, turned around, and looked at Lin Xiao, who saw a thin and majestic face.

Lin Xiao's eyes met one, and he thought that the person in front of him must be Lu Guangqi, the governor of Tantang, so he bowed his head and waited for what the other party would say.

Hearing Lu Guangqi's words, although there was something strange, there was no anger. "Why... why did you take off the iron mask?"

"This..."

Lin Xiao was startled - this number seems wrong, right?

Why does the Governor of Tantang seem to not know his subordinates...

If we go by the original idea, shouldn't it be the first sentence, "Who are you?"
To be continued...
