It only took a short while for Xing Hefeng to understand why Zhong Qingye had that strange reaction. Not to mention Zhong Qingye, even the two of them couldn't help but frown.【】
Because a series of footsteps entered their eardrums almost at the same time.
The footsteps are not strange, but what is strange is that the footsteps are very messy and hurried. It would be understandable if such messy footsteps appeared in other places, but the problem is that this is the palace of Dongshang.
No matter which country it is, the imperial palace will always be a dignified and solemn existence, and no trace of profanity will be tolerated, even if that country has an emperor who is a pain in the ass.
What's more, Dongshang has always been called a country of etiquette. Compared with the Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Qi, it paid more attention to the quality of the people. Although Yeluxie seemed a bit unreliable as the emperor, this did not prevent the Dongshang Palace from being strict and harsh in etiquette.
Require,
Therefore, as soon as he heard the footsteps, Feng Hexing immediately realized the problem.
If it was the palace maid and the father-in-law, there was no way he would have the guts to be in such a hurry. If it was a guard or someone else, there was only one possibility: something had happened.
These thoughts flashed through their minds, and they immediately understood why Zhong Qingye had such a reaction. However, they did not realize why she had such a quick reaction for a short period of time.
But obviously, this is not the right time to ask such unimportant questions.
When Yi Xing and Feng's expressions changed, Zhong Qingye knew that they had understood. He couldn't help curling his lips. He had to admit that although Yelu Xie was a little mentally ill, his two men were still somewhat alert.
Before the visitor came in, Zhong Qingye glanced around, then threw the squirming sack in his hand into a corner where it was not easily discovered, then clapped his hands and stepped back a few steps.
He calmly crossed his arms to his chest, making it clear that he was in a good show.
As for whether the sack was strong enough, and whether the cute little things inside would accidentally bite the bag and crawl out for a walk, these were not within her scope of consideration. She was even happy to be able to help Yelu Xie
That bastard caused a little trouble or something.
Just as Xiao Jiujiu was spinning rapidly in her heart, the master of the footsteps finally appeared magnificently. The moment Zhong Qingye saw them, what flashed through his mind was Yeluxie's lies.
Those dead old men...
Zhong Qingye covered his mouth with his hand and coughed in a low voice.
Yeluxie really didn't lie to him, they were indeed... a group of old men.
Although everyone in this group of people is well-dressed and well-maintained, no matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they can't hide the wrinkles on their faces that are sharper than knives and more stable than stones.
There were about seven or eight old people, the oldest one had gray hair and wrinkles, and his legs and feet were weak when walking. If Zhong Qingye was right, he almost tripped when he stepped over the steps.
Ahem... Of course, this may also be because he was too impatient and walked a little too fast.
Although Zhong Qingye still doesn't know what they are worried about so far, but their expressions are probably not a good thing.
Zhong Qingye began to consider whether to leave first. With the experience of Bei Qi, she already understood deeply that things in the palace were untouchable by ordinary people, and it would not be so easy to bring them out once they were touched.
Fortunately, the target of those people was obviously not her. As soon as she entered the door, Feng and the other two people immediately pounced on her, grabbed her and shook her and asked: "Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor?"
Xing Hefeng was shaken so hard that his head was dizzy. Zhong Qingye was very glad that he backed away from the beginning.
In order to prevent his body from falling apart, Xing cleverly spotted an opportunity and escaped from the "clutches" of the over-energetic old people. He glanced at Zhong Qingye who was snickering, cleared his throat and said: "Everyone
Sir, what's the big deal? Why are you all so panicked?"
The white-haired old man was so anxious that he almost jumped up. He ignored Xing's question and shouted directly: "Where is the emperor? Where is he?"
Xing cleared his throat again and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is in the inner chamber..."
"The emperor must be inside!" All the old people said in unison, and Xing and Feng got out of the way and rushed inside.
Looking at the dusty adults, Xing Hefeng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and was about to follow, but suddenly thought of Zhong Qingye beside him, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Seeing the two people facing him, Zhong Qingye shrugged his shoulders calmly and showed a very guilty expression: "If you don't touch me, I will never go in."
There is no profit to be gained from this kind of thing, and it is not a good thing at all. Anyone who joins in eagerly is an idiot.
Zhong Qingye has always felt that he is a smart person.
So she cupped her hands and smiled brightly: "So, you two please."
OK, wind: "..."
Zhong Qingye ignored the ever-changing smiles on their faces, turned around and walked towards the main entrance. Before he had even taken two steps, the two of them followed him like flies and stopped in front of Zhong Qingye.
Zhong Qingye raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Feng's expression changed, and Xing poked his waist with his elbow, forcing him to put on a smile and stuttered, "Then... where are you going... to?"
Compared with Xing's lively appearance, he appears to be much more reserved and talks surprisingly little on weekdays.
Zhong Qingye shrugged: "Go back to sleep."
Obviously, Xing and Feng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Xing said: "Well, let Feng go back with you. What happened to the one I stayed behind?"
Before Zhong Qingye could answer, Feng nodded quickly, fearing that Zhong Qingye would not allow anything.
Zhong Qingye's meaningful gaze quickly swept around the two people's faces, raised his eyebrows, and walked straight past them.
Since someone wanted to cling to her like a piece of candy, Zhong Qingye couldn't do anything about it, but it was good, it would save them all from guarding her like thieves. If she was really curious, she could still do it.
Ask the banker for some inside information.
Outside the house, the sky has long dimmed. The bright moon is hanging high, and the stars are shining like brilliance. They are densely packed above the head, as bright as dark blue velvet inlaid with several shining crystals.
While Zhong Qingye raised his head to admire the sky view, he thought to himself that he hoped to do something exciting this time. This day was really boring.
It was precisely because of this good idea that when Zhong Qingye was woken up in the middle of the night, his heart was shocked and ecstatic to the point of being outrageous.
Although Xing still didn't come back to "report" what she was interested in until she had dinner, took a shower, changed clothes, and read until her eyelids were twitching, at midnight, Zhong Qingye was still awakened by a rustling sound.
.
She sat up from the bed quickly and lightly, walked quietly to the side and looked outside, wandering into outer space with random thoughts in her mind.
Is it possible that her character has been particularly good recently, so God takes pity on her and lets her do whatever she wants? Or is it because God has been so idle recently and is a bit annoying, so he specially found some troubles to trouble her?
one time?
Zhong Qingye squinted his eyes and watched two black shadows pass by his mouth, thinking this in his mind.
She hesitated for three seconds. Her curiosity and fatigue caused by the extreme chatting finally overwhelmed everything. She turned around, quickly took out her clothes, put them on, and quietly followed out.
Fortunately, she has been disguising herself as a man these days. The clothes she chooses are all dark blue, jet black and other colors. In addition, she is wearing a smart outfit. In the dark, she looks no different from night clothes. Moreover, she is in the Dongshang Palace, and she feels that
Not very safe, daggers and other self-defense weapons are never left behind.
Due to the above reasons, she moved so fast that when she secretly followed her out, the two black figures just happened to flash around a corner.
Zhong Qingye raised his eyebrows with a smile, and followed him silently like a ghost.
Although Xing Hefeng had been very close to her these past few days, he still gave her a lot of free space at night because of the taboo that she was a girl. Zhong Qingye knew very well that it was impossible for their two rotten old antiques to stay together in the middle of the night.
came into her room to peek, so she didn't worry about being discovered at all.
Sneaking all the way, Zhong Qingye's figure was like a black loach in the darkness (what kind of metaphor is this!?). His flexibility was amazing. He followed the two black figures without making any movement at all along the way.
Unfortunately, the moon is very big today, which poses a certain obstacle to hiding. However, this does not trouble Zhong Qingye, the latent ancestor, but it does provide convenience for her. With the light of the moon, she can clearly see what is in front of her.
The size of these two people.
They are two men, and with their flexibility and adaptability, they should not be more than thirty years old.
Moreover, Zhong Qingye also discovered an incident. The two men had a very clear understanding of the terrain of the Dongshang Palace, the guard situation and even the distribution of secret sentries. They were as comfortable as a fish in water as they leisurely interspersed among various gaps.
Strolling around my back garden.
Could it be someone from the palace? A dark ghost?
Zhong Qingye followed quietly while making a small calculation in his mind.
I don’t know what these two guys want to do, but with their sneaky dress and behavior, they don’t look like two good people. It’s a pity that the two of them are covered in black cloth from their hair to their toenails, except for their vague body shapes.
, it doesn’t look like anything at all.
However, judging from Zhong Qingye's understanding of the Dongshang Palace, even if she were to get in front of these two guys, it would have no effect at all except stimulating the other person's desire to kill and silence them.
Because in the Dongshang Palace, except for the emperor Yeluxie, the little princess Yelu Meixue, Feng, Xing, and a few girls who had been serving her these days, she didn't know anyone.
Just when Zhong Qingye was leisurely and thinking incomprehensibly, the two black figures in front of him suddenly stopped and hid their figures. Zhong Qingye was stunned and also hid his
Based on their body shape, I guessed that the two of them had arrived at their destination.
Looking up at the palace in front of him, Zhong Qingye wanted to stretch out his hand and tug at the corner of his mouth.
On the tall and majestic lintel of the palace, the three characters "Shu Xuegong" look noble and majestic even under the moonlight.
But the problem is...
If Zhong Qingye remembers correctly, this palace should be the residence of Yelu Xie's precious niece, Yelu Meixue.
Zhong Qingye's eyes suddenly appeared, but he looked at the flying eaves of the palace, and the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking, isn't it so unlucky...
Facts have proved that Yelv Meixue is really so unlucky. I don’t know if it’s because of her bad luck or because she’s annoyed because of her irritable personality. The two assassins who were less than 20 meters in front of Zhong Qingye looked at each other slightly.
, nodded to each other, and took advantage of the gap when the maid just left around the corner, and quickly sneaked into the dark corner of the palace, and their figures suddenly became blurry.
Zhong Qingye touched his chin and began to consider whether he should follow him or just go home. Should he follow him and let him stand aside, or should he be ready to rush forward to help at any time.
In fact, from the bottom of my heart, Zhong Qingye doesn't hate Yelu Meixue that much. After all, to Zhong Qingye, who has lived for almost thirty years, this bad-tempered little girl is just a child, even in her rebellious stage.
The kind who haven't passed it yet, so no matter how provocative Yelv Meixue is on weekdays, Zhong Qingye just ignores it.
If it weren't for the fact that she was still a child and the stupid things she did to Zhong Qingye, Zhong Qingye would have killed her ten times, which would have been too little!
Although Yelv Meixue knows how to light a whip, in the eyes of an expert like Zhong Qingye, her skills are worse than a three-legged cat. She usually just shows off her temper and acts coquettishly, and everyone will let her down. If it really happened
If you face a regular killer, you'll probably be killed before you even meet him.
Although he doesn't hate her very much, Zhong Qingye really doesn't like her very much. If she were in other circumstances and someone was making trouble for her, Zhong Qingye wouldn't have to think about it. She would definitely be the kind of person who would stand on the sidelines and make fun of her.
If you are not conscience-stricken, you will take action to give her some color.
But this time the situation was different. Yelv Meixue was still young after all, and the other party was obviously evil. And she saw him again, and she was too embarrassed not to help...
Zhong Qingye rubbed his eyebrows, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed in a low voice.
Forget it, since her uncle Yeluxie had entertained her for such a long time with good food, drinks and surveillance, it was just a favor to her uncle. No matter what, she was being raped like this for a little girl.
, she felt very sorry.
Zhong Qingye made up his mind, turned over and followed the footsteps of the two men in black.
Halfway through, she suddenly thought that since she came to this world... she seemed to have become more and more hesitant.
In other words, are you becoming more and more kind??
