Since the rebels invaded the palace, the originally magnificent Dongshang Palace has become a habitat for the rebels. A large number of palaces were completely disfigured and devastated by soldiers who were ordered to search like wolves and tigers. [] Once upon a time
His magnificence and grace are like wild geese going south, with a strong tendency to never return.
Fortunately, Liu Yi and others were all born in a higher class, and were used to enjoying grace and comfort in their daily lives. In order to ensure that they lived comfortably, they finally did not turn the entire palace into a garbage dump. The main palaces were still well preserved. As Liu Yi
, the residence of the three leaders of the rebels, Su Ze and Yelu Ping.
The originally peaceful palace was now brightly lit and noisy. A large number of soldiers were fully armored and looked fierce with swords. They were constantly walking on the blood-stained bluestone pavement of the palace, coming and going, giving the appearance of being closely guarded.
.
Qiongyao Palace is one of the well-known cold palaces of the Dongshang Palace. Before Zhong Qingye moved in, no one had lived there for many years, so the furnishings and maintenance were naturally not as graceful and beautiful as other palaces.
Therefore, Qiong Yao Palace was not selected as the residence of the leader of the rebels. It was completely destroyed by the good soldiers who searched it. Everything that was slightly better was robbed. The entire palace was simply ransacked by bandits. It was in a mess.
Horrible.
The night was dark, the palace was completely dark, and the tall mahogany pillars stood silently in the darkness, supporting the darkness of the entire palace like a huge beast.
In the noisy palace, people were coming and going, but no one noticed that a dark figure quietly appeared in the dry well in the deserted backyard of Qiongyao Palace.
The black shadow shrank quietly and lay quietly on the edge of the well. Only the bright pupils could be seen in the darkness. In the dark night with few moonlight and stars, it was like a ghost. Taking advantage of the people around it, it turned over quickly.
Jumping into the weeds beside the wellhead.
The night wind gradually picked up, and the blowing weeds swayed in all directions. There was a constant rustling sound, and the black shadow disappeared in the darkness. The figure was as flexible as a small shuttle. Taking advantage of the fluctuations of the night wind, it moved forward quickly, and in the
In a matter of seconds, he rushed into the open door of Qiongyao Palace.
The palace is still dark, it seems because the place is too dilapidated and the rebels are not familiar with the environment here, so no one is guarding here. The huge palace is as silent as a deserted tomb.
Noticing that there were no secret whistles lurking around, the black figure slowly stood up straight in the shadow of the big mahogany pillar. The dim starlight outside vaguely outlined the slender figure. Even though the body was wrapped in black cloth, the bumps and ridges could still be vaguely seen.
The figure is actually that of a woman.
Zhong Qingye moved her neck and opened her eyes wide at the familiar yet unfamiliar palace in front of her. She was familiar because she had lived here for a long time, but unfamiliar because in just a few days, the entire palace had changed beyond recognition.
.
"Oh, oh, oh," she sighed in a pretentious manner and shook her head.
This is not what a soldier should do, it is no different from a robber! A palace that was so damaged looked like a haunted house, and the walls were almost broken and dug out.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhong Qingye had to think carefully about whether his trip was worth it.
Yeluxie actually dared to put her under house arrest. She couldn't swallow this breath. Even if she gave him a good punishment, Zhong Qingye still felt that it was not enough. After thinking about it, she set her sights on the Dongshang Palace.
Come on baby.
It can be said that she did not take advantage of this trip to Dongshang. Not only that, she also became a wanted criminal inexplicably. This is simply not in line with Zhong Qing and Ye Yanguo's hair-plucking character. If she doesn't get some compensation,
Zhong Qingye herself felt that she really felt sorry for the many people who had been exploited by her and lost their fortunes.
Therefore, she used the secret passage mechanism she had secretly memorized to sneak back to the Dongshang Palace. She was bound to find something good to make up for her deflated wallet.
But looking at the palace in front of her, Zhong Qingye had to start to wonder, are there really any good things in this palace? These rebels, who are soldiers on the surface but robbers at heart, would be so kind as to leave a batch of good things waiting for her to put them in.
In pocket?
No matter how I feel, the success rate is not high.
Zhong Qingye began to wonder whether to go back and run around for a while, risking being discovered. If she still couldn't get a satisfactory harvest, she might as well take a good nap to feel more comfortable.
But in the blink of an eye, she gave up her thoughts. After all, she was already here, and it would be a bit unwilling to go back without going out. Besides, this is the Dongshang Palace, which is known as a treasure trove! Zhong Qingye is not
I believe those bandits and rebels are really so evil that they wouldn't leave even a single good thing to her.
Having made up her mind, she quietly walked to the front hall, walked through the trampled garden with dead flowers and dead grass, and peeked out through the garden arch that was stained with paintings.
Although Qiong Yao Hall is not inhabited all year round, it does have a good location. After leaving the small garden in front of the main palace, there is the grand corridor of the palace. One side leads to one of the four palace gates, and the other side extends into the huge palace. Naturally, the guards are very tight.
Yes, there were soldiers standing on both sides of the bare corridor, holding long knives in one hand and torches in the other, illuminating every detail of the long corridor.
Zhong Qingye lowered his head and wore his black night clothes. If he walked out like this, he would probably be stabbed into a porous bridge before he took a few steps.
I have to find someone unlucky enough to change my clothes.
Zhong Qingye rubbed her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked forward along the short palace wall. If she remembered correctly, the various palaces in the Dongshang Palace should be separated by low walls, and small walls were installed on them.
The gate facilitates the passage of gardeners, and there is a small gate about 500 meters east of the palace wall of Qiong Yao Palace. After exiting the gate, there is a small alley, leading directly to the Imperial Garden.
Zhong Qingye's memory has always been good. She walked quickly in the dark, and there was only a thin palace wall between her and a large number of rebels. She was on the left, and the rebels were on the right of the palace wall. In order to prevent others from hearing anything wrong.
, she deliberately moved lightly and successfully touched the small door.
Blessed by God, someone opened the small door. It was half-closed in the darkness. Through the crack in the door, Zhong Qingye happened to see a soldier walking over carrying a lantern. He seemed to have drunk some wine and was stumbling on his feet.
