Chapter 384: The Palace Night Banquet Silver Ticket)
"Xiao Tang, what happened to Emperor Ning Guo? Could it be that he also has some leverage in the opponent's hands?"
On Beicheng Street, Hua Yuan'er was walking leisurely. Seeing that Tang Ji looked listless after coming out of Ye's Escort Agency, she asked him jokingly.
But before Tang Ji could speak, Su Qing on the side said first: "Brother Hua, you must not be disrespectful to His Majesty."
Having said that, he also looked at Tang Ji with some curiosity.
"It's nothing, it's just that I can't complete the challenge, and he will tell the King of Beidu about Lao Su and me sneaking into the city. His Majesty will definitely be sad when he knows that we two were killed." Tang Ji started to talk nonsense absentmindedly. Anyway, he
It is impossible to reveal Ranran's life experience, and the letter will be destroyed after returning.
Hua Yuan'er curled her lips and crossed her arms: "Who did you offend? Unless you find two more strong men like Mr. Sun and let them sneak into the palace and kidnap the King of Beidu, let alone a month.
Years are not enough."
Tang Ji couldn't think of it and didn't want to think about who the person behind it was. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's take a step and see!"
If it doesn't work, we can only call Old Man Sun and take people to Beidu Palace to fight for his life!
Hua Yuan'er smiled, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, if you are caught, I can't escape, so I will help you. If you need anything, just ask, we are all good brothers
...Hey, hey, hey!”
Before he finished speaking, he was dragged by Tang Ji and hid in a side alley. The two of them looked towards the direction of the inn, and saw a medium-sized and well-decorated carriage parked beside them.
Outside the inn where they stayed, there were two guards in gray clothes standing next to them, holding swords in their hands.
Tang Ji's brows trembled slightly. The inn they chose was considered to be a middle-class one in the city. No one with a little bit of money would stay here, and the carriage didn't look like it belonged to an ordinary person.
Obviously it should be just a short stay, coming for someone or something.
Sure enough, not long after, an old man walked out and walked straight to the carriage.
"Steward Liu of the Beidu Palace?" Hua Yuan'er blinked twice and said.
Tang Ji turned to look at him: "Do you know him?"
Hua Yuan'er nodded: "Well, I met him last time when I came here to deliver food. I can't be wrong. He should be here to see his adoptive father!"
Hearing this, Tang Ji retracted his head and stared blankly for a while, waiting for the carriage to go away. Then he turned to look at Su Qing: "Lao Su, Mr. Hua and I will go in first."
"Okay." Su Qing replied silently.
Immediately, Tang Ji and Hua Yuan'er straightened their clothes, picked up the prepared props, and walked towards the inn. When they arrived at the gate, the latter did not forget to shout: "Shopkeeper, we bought the things back."
!”
In this way, the two of them returned to the inn first. As soon as they walked up to the second floor, they wanted to go back to the room to change their clothes, but when they passed by Fang Wei's room, they found the door open and saw Fang Wei sitting at the table.
side.
Tang Ji turned around and asked: "Master Fang, is the housekeeper from the Beidu Palace here just now to see you?"
"You guys came back just in time." Fang Wei naturally noticed the two of them a long time ago, put down the cup in his hand, and when he saw the two of them walking in, he raised his hand to signal to his men to close the door, and continued: "Then Butler Liu is here to inform Beidu
The king held a banquet at the palace in the evening and asked me to go there, and judging from his tone, he should have invited more than just my Heilongzhai family."
Tang Ji was not very surprised. After all, the King of Beidu wanted to discuss a major matter, and all the village owners were called. How could it be possible that only Fang Wei was called!
He didn't dwell on the issue any longer and instead began to ponder. Now that he had received the threatening letter, it no longer mattered whether the King of Beidu wanted to rebel or was threatened by others. He had to take action and do it first.
The first step is to investigate, and tonight is a good opportunity!
Soon, Tang Ji recovered his thoughts, raised his eyes and asked, "Can you bring someone in?"
"Yes, yes, but Senior Sun hasn't entered the city yet. I may not be able to guarantee your safety by myself." Fang Wei looked at him seriously.
"It's just an exploration, nothing should happen." Tang Ji also knew that this place is not like Kyoto, and there is no power like the old emperor to protect him. One wrong step may lead to catastrophe, but he came out this time just to experience it. How could he keep doing it all this time?
Hiding under the protective umbrella of Old Man Sun, he didn't think much more and smiled calmly: "Then I'll go change my clothes first."
Hua Yuan'er stood up straight, clasped his fists and said, "Father, I'm going too."
Since Tang Ji insisted, Fang Wei didn't say anything else: "Okay, then you guys go down and get ready. It's already halfway through Shenshi, and we'll be leaving soon."
Tang Ji also bowed and left the room. As soon as he left the room, he saw Su Qing walking up the stairs. When the latter approached, he lowered his voice and said, "Lao Su, I am going to Beidu with Fang Wei tonight."
Wangfu, you might as well go check on General Shen."
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at him: "You want to go to the Beidu Palace? What if..."
"Nothing bad happens, don't worry, I will protect myself." Tang Ji smiled lightly and gave him a reassuring look.
Seeing this, Su Qing had no ink marks and warned: "Be careful."
Naturally, it was not easy to keep talking in the corridor, so the two briefly chatted for a few words and then went back to their rooms.
In the room, Tang Ji took off the clothes worn by the clerk and put on a dark gray cloth. After tying his hair, he tied it with a cloth strip. He picked up a small bronze mirror on the square table next to the bed and stared at it.
The smooth mirror surface flashed in front of my eyes, recalling the scene of combing Jiang Ran's hair, and smiled tenderly: "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."
Then, he put down the bronze mirror, took out the threatening letter, read it again and wrote down the handwriting, walked to the candlestick, lit it, and then put it into the cup on the table.
Not long after, Hua Yuan'er's knock came from outside the door: "Xiao Tang, I'm leaving!"
"Okay!" Tang Ji responded, picked up the teapot, poured some water into the cup full of ash, shook it a few times and poured it on the potted plant at the entrance, then put the cup on the shelf and opened the door.
.
"Why did it take so long?" Hua Yuan'er asked with some confusion. The next second he smelled a strange smell coming from the room. He pursed his nose and sniffed: "Huh? Did you burn something?"
Tang Ji looked calm and said with a smile: "I accidentally knocked over the candlestick just now and almost had an accident."
Hua Yuan'er didn't think much about it. Even if Tang Jizhen burned something, it had nothing to do with him. He pursed his lips and said, "It's okay. Let's go. Don't keep your adoptive father waiting. But this time we only prepared a carriage.
We all have to walk, and we may have to wrong you..."
