Chapter 123 The Forbidden Rainy Night

Before leaving, the eldest princess and Zhao Yu had already left the room, but Murong Qian had been waiting in the distance without moving, as if waiting for Yi Qingchen to pack up her things.Yi Qingchen opened the princess's jewelry box, took out a magnet bracelet from inside and put it on, and handed the other to Murong Qian, and continued to search for it, after a while, she gradually showed embarrassment.

Although it is a complete set of magnet jewellery, there are almost no styles that can be worn by men. What kind of forehead ornaments, earrings, necklaces, Yi Qingchen really can't wear it on the upper body, let alone Murong Qian, who is picky and picky. The ring is split equally.

Murong Qian looked at Yi Qingchen's tangled expression, his face that hadn't moved for a long time changed, and chuckled, "Brother Xue, why don't you put the rest in a bag and take it with you?"

Yi Qingchen felt that it was desirable, so he went to Chaoyu to ask for a matching bag.

After putting all the magnetic stone jewelry into the matching bag, Yi Qingchen checked his and Murong Qian's luggage again, and repeatedly told Murong Qian, "You must follow Brother Xue, and don't mess around."

Murong Qian smiled wryly, "Okay..."

When Zhao Yu, Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian set off, the sky was already dark, the rain was still falling, and there were no stars.

A few people passed through the palace, and the heavy rain curtain dimmed the light of the lanterns in the aisle a lot. Walking quickly in the rain, the road was more slippery than usual, and the corners and walls were more difficult to climb. With a high degree of concentration, listen to the footsteps covered by the rain.

After some hiding, the three of them were already drenched. After all, this was not a walk in the courtyard, and such eye-catching things as umbrellas could not be hit. I just felt that the water droplets in the hair and the rain kept passing by the eyes or falling into the eyes. Take a step, and there will be a creaking sound of water absorption in the boots.

Suddenly, Yi Qingchen was touched by the scene, recalling the difficult years when he was a thief.In order to support two people, I couldn’t fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, and I had to go out even in bad weather, and because I was covered in black blood at that time, my body was weaker than now, and I would get sick every now and then, so I didn’t dare Spend money to buy medicine to take, after all, medicine is too expensive, and it is not good to take it only once.

Xiaoqian's tuition and rent are enough to make people worry, so it doesn't matter if you feel wronged.

As long as you stand upright, you can carry it.

He never even thought about whether this belief was correct or not, or in other words, for the sake of making a living, he had no time to think at all.As a result, he was repeatedly tortured by illness for 14 years.

Until the age of 14, he met Hua Shenchi...

It was Hua Shenchi who taught him to take medicine when he was sick, and to take good care of his body. Only by taking good care of his body can he have the energy to take care of the people around him, so that they won't worry about him.

These words were clearly spoken by Hua Shenchi himself, but in order to pass on a map of the Tai Hospital, he even did not hesitate to damage his own body.

Obviously you taught me, but why did you forget...

Shenchi...

The three of them were about to turn the corner of the street, Chao Yu had just poked his head, then quickly retracted his body, raised his hand to stop Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian behind him, pointed to the courtyard behind him, Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian looked at each other , Murong Qian was the first to turn over the wall, followed by Yi Qingchen, Zhao Yu followed last, and hid in the gap between the courtyard wall and the house one by one.

Across the wall, there was a dim lantern fire gradually approaching, which brightened the surrounding area. The three of them hid in the dark, and unconsciously raised their heads to look at the brilliance at the eaves. The rain was loud, but Yi Qingchen could still vaguely hear it. At least two people walked over with umbrellas. After all, the sound of water droplets falling on the umbrella surface was still very obvious, but their voices were covered by the sound of rain, making it impossible to hear what they were talking about.

When the footsteps were far away, Murong Qian said lightly, "It should be the guards in charge of the night patrol. There were five people who heard the footsteps. It seems that there was a murder case before the hour."

Yi Qingchen was stunned, "An hour ago?"

Murong Qian nodded, and whispered, "It was discovered by the maid from the imperial dining room who was delivering the dinner. The reason for her discovery seems to be that she passed by the ward and smelled a stench coming from a room, so she opened it out of curiosity. At a glance, I found a pile of headless corpses, looking at their clothes, they seemed to be Lingshan disciples..."

Yi Qingchen thumped in his heart, and immediately forced himself to calm down, if the corpse would rot, it must have been dead for a long time, Hua Shenchi was fine yesterday, nothing will happen.It's just that the disciples he was going to rescue even if he was alone in danger have already died, and he lost an arm because of it. This kind of result is too cruel.

Yi Qingchen's eyes dimmed, and Zhao Yu patted his shoulder to bring him back to his senses.

The group of people had gone far away, Zhao Yu turned over the wall first, checked the movement outside the wall, and just now Chaoyi Qingchen and Murong Qian hooked their hands, motioning them to follow.

The imperial palace is huge, from the eldest princess' bedroom to the imperial hospital, although it is only an arm's length away on the drawings, if it is really measured, the shortest path will take more than half an hour, not to mention that Yi Qingchen and others still have to hide and hide Open corners and patrolling guards where eyeliner might be hidden.

It was two hours before we arrived near the Tai Hospital.

Zhao Yu led the two of them into a courtyard, and just as they stood still, a group of figures appeared in the shadows around them, Zhao Yu took out the token from his waist, clasped his fists and said, "Deputy Commander of the Ouchi Guards, Zhao Yu, I have something to see you. "

As soon as the words fell, a scimitar was suddenly thrown towards Chaoyu, Chaoyu turned to avoid it, immediately pulled out the iron whip from his waist, and pressed it against the other two scimitars that followed, Yi Qingchen hadn't returned yet God, a figure rushed down from the roof, picked up the scimitar stuck on the floor tiles, held one in each hand, still biting a knife in his mouth, and slashed towards Zhaoyu with a few swift strokes. Zhao Yu only defended but not attacked, and was attacked by Qi Jin and retreated a full foot.

After ten cuts, Chao Yu swung his whip fiercely, and both sides took three steps back, the visitor put the saber back into its sheath with a smile, and said to Chao Yu, "That's right, you can resist my ten moves, you are a real big inner guard Vice-commander, step back."

The figures hidden in the shadows just now disappeared again.

Yi Qingchen looked at Yueying, who was obviously dressed up in a more luxurious way, and said in surprise, "Could it be that you are the Yue family who is in charge of this place?" Descendants, my young master, I am just an errand, but since the Marrow Sect captured Lingnan, the Feng family's main family in the South China Sea has been harassed from time to time. , so I asked for leave and went back, and the burden naturally fell on my young master."

Since Yueying is in charge of this place, it is easier to negotiate some things. Zhao Yu just wanted to speak, but Yueying suddenly pulled out her ears and turned her face away. I am not the only one who has the final say, if you want my young master to let you in to scare the snakes out, you should not speak up."

While talking, Yu Guang looked at the hiding places of those Yue family members, and showed a helpless expression towards Yi Qingchen and the others. The reason why I waited here is... I heard that there was a dead body in the courtyard."

"The corpses of Lingshan disciples, right? There are twelve of them in total, and there are no wooden ones like yours inside." Yueying pointed to a room behind him, "It's still raining, let's go in and tell."

Yi Qingchen smiled lightly and shook his head, "It's already wet, so I won't go in and dirty the blanket."

Yueying couldn't say anything more, but Murong Qian suddenly said, "How do you know it's twelve?"

Yue Ying said, "After all, it's a murder case. From the standpoint of that old fox, it's impossible to pretend to be dead. We used this as an excuse to go into the yard to collect the corpse, although it was limited to the periphery..."

Murong Qian said clearly, "That is to say, in the past month, your two families have exhausted all their wisdom and have not been able to get closer to the inner courtyard?" There was a hint of contempt in her tone, and Yue Ying stared at Murong Qian with an unkind expression, "What do you mean?"

Murong Qian took another two steps towards Yueying, and said calmly, "I just didn't expect that the four Fenghua Xueyue families in the legend are nothing more than this. I thought you would have supernatural powers, but it turns out that you are only at the level of ordinary people..." Next For a moment, the scimitar rested on Murong Qian's neck, Yueying squinted her eyes like a wolf and threatened, "I advise you not to talk any further."

Murong Qian chuckled, and approached Yue Ying again, putting his face close to his face, staring at each other with wide eyes, Yue Ying was angry, but Murong Qian smiled provocatively, "I found...you It's really short."

The word "short" hurt Yueying's self-esteem, someone in the shadow let out a suppressed laugh, Yueying immediately blushed with shame, and said angrily, "Master, I'm only 14 years old!"

With the knife in his hand, Murong Qian sideways dodges, and Yueying makes another series of attacks. Chaoyu stepped forward to stop it, but suddenly found that Yi Qingchen, who has always been the most active in preventing the fight, is now standing aside silently with a smile on his face. You shouldn't interfere with yourself.

The two of you fought back and forth for several rounds, and it ended when the scimitar landed an inch in front of Murong Qian's neck. Yue Ying snorted, put the knife back into its sheath, and said disdainfully, "I don't care about you right now." She looked at Zhao Yu again , "What exactly are you looking for, young master?"

Zhao Yu said, "Come here and ask if there is any news about His Majesty, and by the way, ask about those corpses, because the eldest princess is really worried, so she wants me to stay here and investigate with you, and the news will be left to him." People first bring it back to the eldest princess."

Yueying sighed and rubbed her head, "So that's the case, there may be no news tonight, you can let them go back first."

Zhao Yu then waved his hands at Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian, the two of them climbed over the wall and exited the courtyard, followed the direction of going back to the palace, and chose a pre-selected shaded place to hide, waiting for Murong Qian to confirm After the following Yue family members left, Fang Cai led Yi Qingchen around again, and went back to the Tai Hospital.

After such tossing, it was already midnight, when there was an occasional thunder, Murong Qian took out from his sleeve the blueprint that Yueying had handed over to him during the fight just now, and there was a big line at the top of the line: ambush location arrangement.

This picture is extremely detailed, the location of the Feng family's eyeliner is marked in blue, the Yue family's is in yellow, and the detected ambush positions of the national teacher's subordinates are marked in the most dazzling red.Generally speaking, most of the blue and yellow are on the periphery of the courtyard, and the amount of red is only marked in the atrium of the courtyard, and further inside is a complete blind spot.

However, this blind spot is only for the Fengyue family, and it is marked on the blueprint that Hua Shenchi left for everyone.

Yi Qingchen kept this in his mind, and Murong Qian chose a dead corner of the eyeliner to turn into the courtyard, avoiding the organs and eyeliner positions marked on the blueprint, and marched very smoothly, but when passing by a row of houses, I was a little dizzy from the stench coming from inside.

Yi Qingchen smelled the stench, and for some reason remembered the years when he was a child in the village, he drank blood and ate people and skinned them. Until the villagers died completely from the black blood, the stench still lingered over the village and lingered for a long time.

Pass through the last arch of the atrium, and further inside is the inner courtyard. No one has passed the rest of the road except Hua Chenchi, but Hua Chenchi has only been observing here for a day, and the organs and organs that can be detected are related to the inner courtyard. The eyeliner is very limited and cannot be trusted. Yi Qingchen thought for a moment and decided to act separately from Murong Qian, so that even if he accidentally triggered the mechanism, he would not be arrested together.

Although Murong Qian was a little worried, but this is indeed the best way at the moment, he struggled for a while, then followed Yi Qingchen's plan, and hid himself in the night.

Yi Qingchen throws stones to explore the way, hides in the flower garden and moves forward cautiously, more often stops to observe the patrol routes of the guards in the courtyard, gradually, he finds himself in a dead end.

This is the edge of the flower garden, a corner of the courtyard. In front of you is a long winding corridor rising from the ground. There are a group of guards patrolling it, and there are also guards patrolling on the way. Yi Qingchen waited for a long time. I don't know when, the staggered space between the two rows of guards disappeared, Yi Qingchen felt a little strange, waited for a while, and gradually found that the space seemed to appear again.

Yi Qingchen didn't quite understand the reason for this, but through observation during this period of time, he found that the patrolling time of these guards was fixed. It makes sense to be so uniform.

After figuring out the rules, Yi Qingchen, in order to be on the safe side, waited until the biggest gap appeared before sprinting out of the bushes and under the corridor, relying on his memory to avoid those floor tiles that might trigger the mechanism, and crawled to another corridor. If the rules are good, the next line of guards will definitely pass by another road. At this time, I get up and walk on this road...

Without waiting for Yi Qingchen to think carefully, the sound of neat footsteps is getting closer and closer, Yi Qingchen listens carefully, the more he listens, the more he feels something is wrong, why does the sound of footsteps seem to be coming towards him?

For a moment, Yi Qingchen had a thought in his heart: Feng and Yue, with so many people and spent so much time, failed to figure out the law of the inner court. Thorough exploration?Daydreaming!

Yi Qingchen repented in his heart, he really should have been more vigilant, seeing those patrolling guards getting closer, Yi Qingchen had no choice but to pin all his hopes on the head-sized carved gap on the fence, gritted his teeth, and moved One of my arms was taken off, and then the other was taken off, and there were two legs...

When the guards walked past the place where Yi Qingchen was crawling, the place was empty, and Yi Qingchen himself was lying on the grass outside the corridor, clutching his joints and gasping for pain.

He used to be shrunken, the kind who taught himself without a teacher. The chance was that in the first winter after the death of the whole village, he could neither make a fire nor build a house. The original house in the village had already collapsed. He could only curl up in the empty cave alone, shivering from the cold but helpless.

Thinking back now, Yi Qingchen only feels that he was really stubborn at that time, his consciousness was not so clear from being frozen, but he was still able to hold his body and walk to his parents' grave, maybe it was because of the beast, not too deep Unknowingly, there was a hole the size of a head in the grave, and when I was young, I got into that hole in a daze, passed out, and when I woke up, my body was much warmer.

For the whole winter after that, Yi Qingchen lived a life of going into the cave to sleep without incident, and went out to look for grass roots and wild fruits when he woke up.That hole is really very small, Yi Qingchen didn't know how he got in, only knew that the child's bones were really soft and could be folded into a ball easily.

This ability has accompanied Yi Qingchen for a long time, helping him to escape from death after robbery, but later went to Lingshan, when Hua Shenchi was recuperating for Yi Qingchen, he accidentally discovered that Yi Qingchen's joints were easy Dislocated, after hearing the reason, Hua Shenchi told Yi Qingchen not to steal again in the future, often shrinking bones is not good for the body and so on.Yi Qingchen really didn't shrink back, and later on he forgot that he still had this ability.

This forgetting is more than ten years.
