Chapter 85 Robbery

The dark clouds were covered with dark clouds, and the sky seemed to be covered by a dark curtain. There was no trace of light and no wind. It was so dark that it made people breathless.

The West Garden of King Jing’s Mansion was full of trees. At this time, only a few lanterns were hung under the eaves, shining gloomy and quiet on the bodies of dozens of sword-holding soldiers.

They were not guards of the royal palace, but palace bans from the palace, standing in the garden with a cold expression; behind the rockery was still an independent palace, which was small in size but extremely exquisite. King Jing Zhao Tuan liked to read here when he was in Bianliang.

At this time, a soft sedan chair was parked on the stone floor in front of the palace steps, and under the corridor were several palace officials and palace maids with some impatient faces.

After a while, seeing that the palace gate was not open, the old eunuch in charge of the head clarified his sleeves and cleared his throat and shouted: "Princess Dong, it's getting late, and the princess should leave. The official will return to the palace to submit an order. Please forgive me!"

In the hall that had been silent for a long time, there was a plea that continued sobs and sobbing sounds:

"Grandpa Emperor will never treat Yingyun like this! Mom, let me go out, I want to see Grandpa Emperor!"

"Yingyun, don't do anything to scare you. Your emperor's grandfather's will is like this. You are born in the royal family and accept your fate. It's not a bad thing for you to marry Chihu. Girls always have to go out of the box when they grow up! Remember, after you arrive in Chihu, you will not be as good as in Bianliang. Your previous personality needs to be changed. Don't let everything go, learn to take good care of yourself..."

The old eunuch winked at his subordinates, signaled to push the door open, and hugged the princess who was in a group in the hall. Yingyun bowed and shouted, "Please take the princess into the sedan chair!"

Two middle-aged palace maids walked in, regardless of Yingyun's tears, stepped forward and grabbed her arm and dragged it out; the princess also cried and pulled Yingyun to hold her Jinshang's hand and spread it apart, watching Yingyun being dragged out of the hall and stuffed it into the sedan chair.

"Princess, let's go back to the palace to submit the order!" The old eunuch bowed to the princess who were sitting on the ground again, turned around and signaled the two young eunuchs to lift the sedan chair. The two palace maids pressed against the sedan chair to prevent Yingyun from jumping out in the middle of the passage. They then walked out from the side door of the Western Garden of the royal palace surrounded by dozens of forbidden seats.

The servants and maids in the palace looked up and couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene. Some people couldn't help but wiping their tears secretly. They waited until the palace people left before they walked into the courtyard of Xiyuan. However, when they saw the princess sitting on the ground, no one knew what to say, and no one noticed a figure followed him out of the side door.

Soon, a few strange bird songs came from behind the towering courtyard wall, causing a resentful Qiang flute to play.

The royal women who used them to compensate the money and handed over to the Chihu people must concentrate in Chong'an Temple.

The second inner city of Bianliang is the palace city, which was built on the basis of the former dynasty's military governor's office; the residences of the princes and ministers, as well as some royal temples that the royal families often visit, and the Taoist temples were built around the palace city, but no more imperial walls were built to surround it.

However, from King Jing’an Mansion to Chong’an Temple, there are deep houses all the way. The tall and thick courtyard walls squeeze the not-so-narrow corridor into a particularly deep and narrow way.

The people of Chihu siege had not retreated and the curfew was not lifted. At this time, there was no one in the long alley.

The dark clouds were low, and more than a dozen banned soldiers, palace maids, and palace servants walked in a soft sedan chair, relying on four finger lanterns to shine on the road. Listening to the resentful Qiang flute, the strange bird songs mixed from time to time, everyone had a creepy feeling.

"Eunuch Chen, why haven't you heard of this bird's cry in Bianliang City? Why is it so evil!" The school in charge of the guard asked next to the old official palace.

"What evil is evil? Don't talk nonsense, Chong'anguan is the one who suppresses evil!" The old Guan Gong shouted in a low voice, but couldn't help but urge everyone to leave quickly.

"Dangdangdang..." A dull sound of bamboo tieds came from a distance, and in a blink of an eye, a man was turning from the alley with a wheelbarrow.

On one side of the wheelbarrow is a row of low cabinets, carrying a lantern to illuminate it. The one who vaguely shines out the cart is a strong man with a blurred face; on the other side are fired, and the charcoal fire in the stove is still burning, and there is a red flame that shows off. At first glance, it is a food load sold in the streets and alleys of Bianliang City.

Although the curfew in the city has not been lifted, there are not many people who have any way inside and outside the palace who really do things according to the rules.

When the old Guan Gong saw the man pushing a wheelbarrow and stopped at the entrance of the alley, the old Guan Gong did not have any suspicion. At this time, the birds and the sound of Qiang flutes also stopped. When he saw someone appearing at the entrance of the alley, he felt relieved.

This time, Princess Yingyun was urged to go to Chong'anguan to gather. The elderly eunuchs were worried that someone would stop him in Prince Jing's mansion. They have all walked out of Prince Jing's mansion, but they have never thought that something would go wrong.

The man took out a short stick, supported the wheelbarrow at the entrance of the alley, took out a small iron pot and placed it on the stove, and then took out bowls, chopsticks and other items from the drawer grid of the low cabinet. Soon, a simple night food stall was placed out in an orderly manner at the entrance of the alley.

When the palace officials were waiting for the ban, the banned soldiers surrounded the sedan chair and the man shouted: "Thank you all, you have to patrol the night. Do you want to warm up your body with a bowl of hot soup noodles! There is wine in the hot pot here! The cattle and sheep are cold cut, and the special dipping ingredients are so fragrant. It is also refreshing to put the pickled garlic on the wine!"

"Your dog eyes are blind, which eye looks like those night patrolers? Go and go, get aside, don't stop the way!" the prison guard scolded.

"Gao Mazi, why didn't you set up a food stall in Luohan Mansion Lane, but you came here? It's easy to find me. Don't you know who was patrolling in Luohan Mansion Lane today and night? Why would you eat a few bowls of wine for free? You don't want to be able to hurt you to death without grandpa protecting you, and you don't want to go out and run around at this time, and won't you chop off your child as a spy?"

Rude cries came from the alley, and a scattered footsteps were getting closer and closer. Seven or eight night patrolmen with guns and spears chased out.

The leader first grabbed the owner's collar of the food stall and was about to scold him again. When he turned around, he saw more than a dozen people gathered in the alley on this side, and immediately looked over with vigilance, crossed the knife in front of him, and asked in a low voice:

"Who are they? Why are they sneaking? Who is in the sedan chair?"

The prison guards of the prison guards couldn't help laughing. In their outfit, these blind patrol soldiers actually asked who they were?

The magistrate's captain couldn't help but hold his sword in front of his chest, waiting for these unsightly patrolmen to approach before scolding them. They didn't notice that there were more than a dozen figures hiding in the night near Cross Lane. They took long sticks to kill the doors of several nearby mansions from outside, but they took out the copper basin and the copper bowls and knocked them out loud, and shouted loudly:

"It's time to leave, put out the fire! The lady's wing is on fire. Whoever got a thousand-killed person ran into our lady's boudoir, why didn't she lift her pants? Catch those two turtle grandsons! Why was she naked too? Oh, it's embarrassing, madam, madam and the others are stealing people together..."

The prison guard of the prison guard turned around and looked over, but he didn't expect that the leader of the patrolman who walked in front of him suddenly drew his sword. A cold lonely sword light flashed from the corner of his eyes, as fast as lightning.

Before the prison guards could react, they felt their necks chill, covered their blood-gushing necks, and screamed, "You are not..."

"Someone robbed Princess Yingyun!" The old eunuch stood beside the sedan chair and screamed. The sword light of the patrol leader had already come as a hood. He just shouted, and the sharp blade had cut half of his face away.

The prison guards behind were panicked and screamed, but they were covered by the sudden sound of pots and bowls around them. They couldn't resist the swords and were killed by night patrol soldiers with swords and spears; the other two eunuchs and palace maids were not spared.

Yingyun watched in fear as the curtain was lifted from outside, and raised her pink fist and was about to hit the person in the face, but was caught by the man.

"Princess, don't beat me, I'm Xu Huai."

"Xu Huai!" Yingyun was trapped in the sedan chair and had adapted to the dark environment. At this time, only a little light shone in. She still saw Xu Huai's face clearly. Her body suddenly collapsed. She grabbed Xu Huai's arm and did not fall down. She asked, "But Dad asked you to save me?"

"We are here to follow the order of Your Highness!" Xu Huai didn't have time to explain to Princess Yingyun here, and said according to her words, "We need to disperse | evacuate this place, Princess, you immediately put on this dress. Someone will escort the princess to Mr. Zhuzhi's place first!"

Xu Huai pulled Princess Yingyun out of the sedan chair, pulled off her skirt, put on a burqa, quickly tied up her hair, and pretended to be a man.

Although he used a long stick to kill the doors of each house and created a lot of noise to cover up the fight and shout, there were already servants in the houses climbing ladders and holding up lanterns to see through the courtyard wall with such a big noise.

Xu was wearing Zhou Jing, and Zhu Chengjun led his men to escort the princess to retreat from the east alley. He brought his men dressed as a night patrolman, regardless of the gaze that the nearby mansion looked out, and continued to fumble on the jails and eunuchs at the entrance of the Hengzi Lane, searching out valuable things one by one, and then evacuated from another road.

I couldn't see how far I could hold up the lanterns. I saw a group of people robbing and killing people in the alleys. The servants of each family just blocked the hospital door. How could they dare to go out and cause trouble?
