Chapter 55 Temporary retreat

Qi Gong left and stayed in the Chongyang Palace for less than three days. The specific reason was that he could not bear to be disturbed! Because Qiu Zhiqing encouraged Yin Zhiping and the others to ask Qi Gong to give guidance and discuss with him after his invitation to Qi Gong was to no avail!

Over and over again, Hong Qigong was also very annoyed, because he found that since the first time he bullied them because they didn't understand him and broke their Tiangang Beidou Formation, they became more and more careful. After that, they tried to repeat the same trick several times.

Don’t be fooled…

Many times the competition ended in a draw, it was just exhaustion anyway... As a result, their tacit understanding improved a lot, and Qi Gong was also exhausted!

More than half a month later, Qiu Zhiqing arranged the affairs within the church and stated that he might want to go on a wandering trip. Without waiting for his master to leave seclusion, he left a letter to his master and went down the mountain...

…

On this day, Qiu Zhiqing lay on his back on the Kaifeng Iron Tower and looked at the bustling night scene at night. On the north bank of the Yellow River, there was smoke from the beacon fire. Across the river, Kaifeng Bianliang was still as prosperous as ever.

This history is rolling forward in reincarnations over and over again. Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty a hundred years ago is so similar to Bianliang in the Jin Dynasty at this moment. What remains unchanged is the roaring Yellow River and the vast land! What changes is only among them.

Just people...

"Wu Jing Zong Yao" has twenty volumes, totaling forty volumes. Such an important book cannot be stored randomly. In terms of its function, it is most likely to be in the office of the Privy Council, the palace, or the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

wait!

He had seen this book once in Lin'an Palace City. What he saw at that time was only the catalogue, which was stored in the pavilion in the palace city. It is said that there were two sets at that time, one in the palace and one in the Privy Council!

And the current set of the Jin Kingdom is the same set that was stored in the Privy Council at that time...

So today, his first target was the archives of the Ministry of Industry's Yamen! When all the major Yamen in the imperial city turned off their lights and closed their doors, that's when Qiu Zhiqing started to take action.

In the Imperial City, a dark shadow flashed across the sky. Today was the last quarter of the moon, so there was no need to worry about being betrayed by the moonlight. Taking advantage of the patrol break of the guards, Qiu Zhiqing flew past the Imperial City wall.

Although the speed was extremely fast, the wind noise was extremely small. When the patrol soldiers turned back to check, he had already fallen into the imperial city. Thinking that it was an illusion, the patrol soldiers did not check more, and quickly looked back and found nothing.

After the abnormality, I followed the patrol team...

Qiu Zhiqing secretly thought that it was very dangerous, so he should not be in such a hurry next time. At least he should wait until they are farther away before he can come out! Looking at half of the Chinese characters on the plaque, he didn't recognize the other half. Maybe it was what they called Jurchen characters.

However, this kind of writing is useless. They hardly use it themselves. They usually use Chinese characters. After careful comparison, it took about half an hour to finally arrive at the archives of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry!

What made him curious was that there was no one guarding the huge archives. He easily reached the window on the second floor! When he was about to use his internal force to open the wooden bolt of the window and was about to open the window and go in, he suddenly

It doesn't feel right.

The force of pulling the window was wrong, as if there was something behind the window. Looking carefully through the window, sure enough, there was a silk thread tied to the window inside, and there was something thin at the other end of the silk thread.

However, he expected it to be something like a bell used as an alarm. He gave up his plan to enter through the second floor window, and instead planned to enter from the most unlikely place - the front door!

This is a very popular spring lock. He only needs to straighten the spring inside and he can open the lock! This is not difficult for him. After so many years of cleaning with a whisk and integrating Kung Fu into his life, he has learned to do it right.

Control your own inner strength!

Picking up the whisk and pushing it with internal force, the whisk thread slowly penetrated into the keyhole. After a while, there was a slight crisp sound and the lock opened! Then carefully check whether there is any trap or other design behind the door.

After there was no problem, he opened the door carefully. There was no need to be so careful, but this was the first time to explore, so it was better not to alert others, otherwise it would be suspected of a bad start.

At this moment, Qiu Zhiqing suddenly realized, why didn't he go visit a high-ranking official at his home? Wouldn't he know everything now? Then even if he made "Wu Jing Zong Yao" a fire, forgive him for his actions

The accomplices didn’t dare to reveal anything...

It's too late to think about it now, forget it, let's explore the completion department archives first!

Soon, Qiu Zhiqing became obsessed with this ancient engineering encyclopedia, the beautiful tribute jewelry, various construction drawings, and architectural drawings of various palaces, including but not limited to agriculture, river management, Feng Shui, exploration, and prospecting.

etc.

However, his target was not found, which is normal. He had no intention of finding it on the first day. The archives of the Ministry of Industry in his division were the least likely to contain "Martial Arts General Essentials"...

This is indeed the case! Calculating the time, the ugly period has just passed and it is still early. Let’s take a look at the Privy Council as well!

When Qiu Zhiqing restored the archives of the Ministry of Works and came to the Privy Council, he found that the Privy Council was brightly lit and the defense was much tighter than that of the Ministry of Works, especially the archives of the Privy Council - Dongge!

The defense inside is even tighter, which is not difficult to understand. After all, the battle has reached this point, and there are many people on duty inside. This is not easy to handle!

The most disgusting thing is that there are no windows in the East Pavilion. The whole thing is a small hole designed very cleverly. Cats can get out but people can't get in! It's a pity that I haven't practiced anything like bone shrinking skills, otherwise it wouldn't be that difficult.

.

It seems I can only ask an official...

Lu Pu was a Jinshi in high school a few years ago, and because of his high ranking, he has been on duty in the Hanlin Academy. However, this is also beneficial, at least when Xuanzong went south, he was brought with him.

But looking at this situation, the Jin Kingdom may not be able to hold on for long, and it will follow in the footsteps of the Liao Dynasty. I wonder what the Mongols are like. Do they treat Confucian students as kindly as the Wanyan family?

Qiu Zhiqing, who was on the roof, looked at the middle-aged official sighing in the study below, and thought he was lamenting the fate of the Jin Kingdom. He also lamented that his great talents had been given to the wrong country.

If he knew that this sixth-grade Hanlin was really lamenting whether he could serve as an official in Mongolia, he might not be so angry that he would just go and take his head off his neck!

Let’s see if there is still a trace of scholarly loyalty in his mind: “worry before the world’s worries, and rejoice after the world’s happiness!”

It was already the night of the second day. After waiting outside the imperial city for a long time, he stared at the upright-looking guy at his feet...

Lu Pu looked at the young man in Taoist attire who suddenly sat in front of him. He wisely did not yell, but pretended to be calm and asked: "I dare to ask, sir, I am visiting late at night, but what can I do?"

Where is it? You can say it clearly!"

"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. I need a map of the place where the "Martial Classics General Essentials" is stored. This should be a trivial matter for you, right?"

Seeing that this Hanlin official was hesitant, thinking that he had met that kind of loyal minister, Qiu Zhiqing said displeasedly: "What? It's very difficult?"

"No, no, no! Don't be embarrassed. I dare to ask where the leader is from?" After saying that, he pointed to the north.

Qiu Zhiqing didn't know why, he didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he could only reply vaguely: "So what if it is? So what if it's not? What Pindao cares about is what Pindao wants, can you give it to me!"

When Lu Pu saw the person opposite him narrowing his eyes, it was clear that he had murderous intentions. He was afraid of causing any misunderstanding or causing a communication tragedy, so he quickly explained: "Taoist Master, don't get me wrong, the "Martial Classics General Essentials" is in the palace.

Within Shi Ge, I will draw the route for you right now..."

"Very good, draw carefully, just to compare with the last person's drawing to see if it's right!" Of course this was to deceive him, he was the only one he found today...

It seemed that this decent-looking official was not as decent as he looked. Not long after, a map of the Palace Museum was placed in front of Qiu Zhiqing.

Seeing the Taoist priest in front of him carefully checking and comparing the pictures he drew, Lu Pu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. While swallowing secretly, he looked at the face of the Taoist priest opposite him, fearing that the Taoist priest would give him a hard slap if he was dissatisfied.

.

Seeing Qiu Zhiqing's expression softening, Lu Pu took up the courage and said, "If the Taoist priest is really from the north, and the Mongolian heavenly army comes to the city, can you please give me a kind word for my small contribution today?"

sentence?"

I didn't realize that this person seemed to be upright and loyal, but in fact he was rebellious! I was mistaken... It turns out that a person cannot be judged by his appearance!

Although he was despised in his heart, Qiu Zhiqing didn't say anything. Instead, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Very good, I'm optimistic about you. If I succeed this time, you will have a share of the credit. I'll wait with peace of mind."

Bar!"

You say you can wait with peace of mind, but in fact, what you want in your heart is that we will never see you again! Just wait slowly!

When Lu Pu saw the visitor opening the study door and walking out, he hurried forward to check. When he hurried to the study door, the visitor was gone...
