Just when the Imperial Guardsman walked under the palace wall, everyone heard a slight cough.
The young eunuch, who looked ordinary and unremarkable, looked young and was wearing a eunuch uniform, stood behind the imperial guards when they were unaware of them.
The chief uncle looked at the man dressed as a eunuch in front of him, and was shocked. He subconsciously placed his right hand on the handle of the sword at his waist, stared at the little eunuch closely, and said:
"This little father-in-law, is there something wrong?"
The little eunuch coughed lightly, took out a token from his arms, waved it slightly in front of them, and whispered:
"Do you recognize this?"
The uncle couldn't help but be startled when he heard the token flashing before his eyes.
At first glance, the style of this token seems to be a waist badge owned by a senior general of the Forbidden Army.
The uncle nodded blankly, then subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to check the authenticity of the token.
The little eunuch raised his head and pretended not to see the hand of the Imperial Guardsman reaching out to ask for the token. He naturally put away the token and said arrogantly:
"After all, you are the uncle of the Forbidden Army, but I think you really don't understand!"
The uncle stretched out his hand to take the token, and then took it back with some embarrassment. Hearing the little eunuch's words, his heart became even more empty, and he said calmly:
"Understood, what do you understand?"
The young eunuch didn't reply, but glanced meaningfully at the group of forbidden soldiers standing behind him.
The uncle turned his head subconsciously and couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Only then did he react and quickly waved to his imperial guards and said:
"Ahem, you guys, please step back first. This father-in-law and I have something to say!"
After hearing this, all the Imperial Guards looked at each other and immediately withdrew from the palace garden.
When all the imperial troops retreated and only two of them were left, the young eunuch looked at the uncle and said with a hint of a smile:
"There are many secret and taboo places in the palace. Generals should be more careful when searching the palace. If something is accidentally broken, I am afraid it will lead to death!"
The commander of the imperial army glanced at the sinister little eunuch, and his back suddenly felt numb. He held the knife with his left hand and subconsciously tightened it.
"What my father-in-law said, I can't understand. But my responsibilities lie in my humble position..."
The little eunuch waved his hand and interrupted:
"Of course I know this. Your guard has helped me when I walked in the palace. That is to say, because you are working under him, I came forward to remind you. Otherwise, according to the rules of the Taishi Mansion, you
You broke into the palace residence, but no one will talk to you so much nonsense!"
The little eunuch's words were vague. But combined with the belt card of a senior general of the Forbidden Army in his hand, the credibility could not help but be much higher.
Come to think of it, apart from Grand Master Wang Xiao, the uncle could not think of anyone else who could arrange such a courtyard in the palace quietly and difficult for others to find.
At this moment, the uncle suddenly became panicked, and he quickly begged for mercy:
"My father-in-law, please forgive me. I broke into it unintentionally. It was really... just a coincidence. Please turn a blind eye and pretend you didn't see it. Let the villain go!"
The little eunuch snorted coldly and said proudly:
"If it weren't for Lord Zhongli's sake, I wouldn't be too lazy to talk to you like this! Get out of here and don't leak even a single word. If you leak the news and ruin the Grand Master's affairs, the world is so big that
Without your place to stay, it will bring disaster to your family, relatives and friends."
When the uncle heard that he was willing to let him go, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly swore:
"Thank you for your kindness! After taking this humble position, I will strictly keep secrets. If I violate this oath, I will die a miserable death!"
The little eunuch waved his hand lazily and said:
"Go away!"
"yes!"
When the uncle heard about the amnesty, he turned around and walked out of the palace quickly.
"By the way, what's your name?" The little eunuch suddenly asked at this time.
The uncle froze, his face extremely ugly, turned around, forced a smile, and said respectfully:
"Humble Sun Wei!"
"I know, let's go!" the little eunuch nodded with satisfaction.
The uncle hurriedly turned around, hurriedly walked, and led the imperial guardsmen under his command to leave in a hurry.
Watching the imperial army leave, the little eunuch narrowed his eyes and felt a knot in his heart.
The Forbidden Army is responsible for the security of the palace. In the Yun Kingdom Palace, anything that threatens the emperor's safety should be taboo. But now, he only used a token and a few lies to skin Grand Master Wang Xiao.
, and scared the imperial army away. This is evident from the decline of imperial power.
The little eunuch who can come to the rescue at this time is naturally Xiao Cheng who wears a disguise mask.
Xiao Cheng had just arrived and happened to see a group of forbidden troops searching here. He wanted to wait for the forbidden troops to leave before going in to find Nan Rongshu, but he didn't expect that this carefully prepared hidden courtyard would be exposed by a wild cat.
Thanks to Cheng Bushi, he sent the Imperial Army Colonel's badge to help Xiao Cheng get out of trouble in a critical moment. Otherwise, I really don't know how to fool him today!
Thinking of what just happened, and thinking of Nan Rongshu who was accidentally hit by Mr. Tie before, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but smacked his lips and sighed:
This unlucky kid is really bad!
After checking to make sure there was no one around, Xiao Cheng stepped forward, crossed the wall, and went straight to this hidden courtyard.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Nan Rongshu leaning on the bed, holding a narrow blade tightly in her hand, looking at Xiao Cheng warily.
Seeing her being so wary, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, stood there, and threw the box he brought from a distance.
Nan Rongshu took it subconsciously, hesitated for a while, and asked:
"What's this?"
"The good medicine I got from the imperial doctor's building helps the wounds heal." Xiao Cheng said casually.
Hearing this, Nan Rongshu couldn't help but frown and said:
"We've made a lot of noise. You're taking the medicine, aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?"
Xiao Cheng shrugged and said:
"This is Sanhuang ointment, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain, isolate the invasion of external evil spirits, and prevent wounds from ulceration. This medicine is mainly used to treat burns. The palace attendants often need it. Everyone will have some on hand, so they can't find it."
Nan Rongshu nodded and said casually:
"Thank you very much!"
Xiao Cheng listened to this very perfunctory thank you, rolled his eyes again, and said:
"We can't stay here anymore! You heard what happened just now. If someone discovers this place once, it will be discovered a second time. We can't stay here anymore."
Nan Rongshu frowned, remained silent for a moment, shook her head and said:
"The rest of the places are even more difficult to hide!"
Obviously, there is no second such hiding place.
Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly said:
"There is no place to recuperate in the palace, so let's get out of the palace! Anyway, I went to Xiyi Palace to take a look before, and there was someone disguised as you staying there. I don't think others will find anything."
As soon as these words came out, Nan Rongshu looked surprised and asked:
"Do you have a way to get out of the palace?"
Xiao Cheng suddenly sneered, looked at Nan Rongshu, shook his head and said:
"Why are you still pretending to be confused? If you can know about the border war so quickly, you must be in constant contact with the outside world. But there is little contact between the palace and the outside world, and the palace guards are tight inside and outside, so your people are definitely not going through the palace gate.
Enter. Let me think about it, you should have a secret passage leading to the outside world. And the secret passage is in the side hall of Xiyi Palace, right?"
As soon as Xiao Cheng said these words, Nan Rongshu, who was leaning on the bed, her smile gradually disappeared.
