Chapter 642

With this idea, Xu Mingyi immediately silently dodged and hid behind the strong bodhi tree.

Her back was close to the trunk and her right hand clenched the sleeve crossbow.

The wind blew and rustled around. She was even a little uncertain whether she had heard wrong.

If she hadn't heard it wrong, there wouldn't be many people on the other side. It shouldn't be difficult to solve it.

When she was concentrating and preparing, the cry of heavenly eyes suddenly sounded above her head.

"Chirp, chirp!"

When Xu Mingyi heard his face change, he subconsciously looked up to his head. The big bird stood on the tree trunk and fanned its wings without repentance.

Xu Mingyi feels wrong.

Tianmu can be regarded as an experienced elder in the task of keeping the wind. She has never been dragged down like this.

Unless

Isn't it——

Thinking of a possibility, Xu Mingyi quickly jumped a few times, leaned out half his head from behind the tree and looked in the direction he had just come.

There was someone behind her!

Although the footsteps were light at this time, compared with just now, they seemed to have been undisguised. In the dark, a dark figure was coming towards her.

This is outside the mausoleum hall. There are only a few yellow lights hanging in the distance. They can't see each other for a moment.

It was the cry of Tianmu that made them determine each other.

The sky eye has flown towards the figure.

Xu Mingyi also ran out from behind the tree and ran quickly.

She rushed forward, stretched out her hands in the dark and hugged the man tightly.

She was so strong and fast that she almost knocked him back.

He pretended to be hurt and snorted and smiled.

Xu Mingyi felt it. He was wearing a fine silk Xuan robe. The robe was very thin and soft, but the body shape under the robe was strong and powerful. The breath is clean and refreshing, and the body feels like it has just been exposed to the sun.

He also stretched out his hand and hugged her. There was the joy of reunion in his tone. He was low and gentle, but first asked, "didn't you promise to stay in Beijing?"

Her identity was not exposed. It was safest to stay in the city at this time. He also agreed with her in the previous plan.

He was extremely opposed to knowing that she was going to enter the city alone. If we discussed with him, there would be no discussion - she must also know this. When the letter was sent to Ningyang, she had already entered the city.

He can only step up the deployment of everything and make the plan as smooth as possible.

"Didn't you also promise not to come to Lingshan? Just waiting outside for help?" Xu Mingyi raised his head in front of him and asked him in a tacit tone.

Neither the left nor the right is obedient, so don't talk about anyone.

Wu Tsung smiled and sighed.

He knew she wouldn't stay in the city.

She doesn't need to ask more, but she knows why - she's afraid something will happen. She always has to stare at herself to be more assured. Even, she has other plans.

She won't let the plan fail.

And he is the same. It is precisely because of the same that he understands each other's ideas.

The original plan was to let the prince come here and meet the Duke of the town. He knew what it meant - why should he meet the Duke when he was there? In the final analysis, it is the Lord who wants to bear risks and variables alone and leave stability and "war results" to him.

He can't promise.

The Lord, father, has undertaken too much alone over the years.

He, who has never shared anything for his father, is the one who is most unqualified to enjoy success.

So he must come.

Father is here, Zhaozhao is there, how can he not be there.

The number of people who can bring in is limited. Many of our own people and those who can make decisions deal with it secretly, and the risk is always lower.

At this point, their ideas coincide.

"At this time, there are heavy soldiers around Lingshan. How did you get close to it?" although there was no movement around, Xu Mingyi still pulled people to avoid the dark place.

Tianmu also followed up.

Wu Chiu replied, "I saw Ji Xiu this afternoon."

Xu Mingyi was a little surprised.

However, the Emperor just arrived today. His movements were fast enough, and he had already set up a line with Jixiu.

In that case, it's no surprise that he can easily get close to the palace.

She asked again, "are the prince and grandfather ready?"

"Don't worry, everything is going according to the plan, and everything is ready." Wu Tsui said, "just wait for the next day."

Just——

"Why do you come here late at night?" he looked around. This is the entrance of the mausoleum hall, which is the place of sacrifice in the future. Although there are no heavy soldiers to guard now, there will also be bodyguards patrolling by. And it must be risky for her to come all the way.

He came here tonight to find out the situation everywhere, and hid in the palace early, so as to make arrangements for the future.

Although Ji Xiu sent the news as a reference, he always had to check it himself to be sure whether all this was as the other party said.

When he came, he noticed another suspicious person approaching here, so he followed.

At first I wasn't sure it was Zhaozhao, so I just followed and didn't show up.

"I'll get something..." Xu Mingyi's voice was very low. He grabbed his wrist and said, "come with me."

As they walked away, Tianmu's eyes stared very round and his mouth muttered in confusion - is the master who hasn't seen each other for a long time blind, why can't he see it at all?

Wu Chiu didn't hurry to ask Xu Mingyi what she was going to take. She just followed her all the way to the Baoxia in the back hall. It was obvious that someone was there, breathing heavily and miscellaneous.

Outside the room, Xu Mingyi took out the smoke and lit it. He squatted down and stuffed it into the gap under the door.

Wu Tsung had some doubts.

Those sleeping here must be eunuchs guarding the mausoleum hall. What are they going to do? Is what you're looking for in this room?

When a tube of smoke burned out, Xu Mingyi then came to the window, pried open the window with a dagger, and explained in a low voice: "I'll get the key to the mausoleum Hall..."

I was looking for the key——

Wu Chiu grabbed her arm and said, "wait, I'll go."

A room full of eunuchs, so as not to see what should not be seen and touch what should not be touched.

If he is absent, he should be free if he is present.

He was so happy that Xu Mingyi didn't insist. He nodded, stuffed him with a clean sweat towel and motioned him to cover his mouth and nose.

Wu Chiu took it, put one hand on the windowsill, jumped up and turned in silently.

Most of the keys were hung on the waist seal of the robe. He first came to the screen used by the eunuchs to hang clothes. Behind the screen, there were night pots, wooden barrels and other things. It should have not been washed for a long time, and the smell was pungent and strong.

Eunuchs who are far away from the palace will inevitably relax and pay little attention to everything.

Wu Tsui covered her nose and held her breath, glad she didn't let Xu Mingyi in.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he came out of the window.

Seeing that he had it, Xu Mingyi closed the window. They quickly left here and went to the hall.

There were two big strings of keys, fifty or sixty. They tried for a long time before they opened the hall door.

It's not that you can't pry the window. However, this is the main hall. Sacrifice will be prepared tomorrow. If you leave a trace, it may be noticed.

The more to the end, the more to be careful.

The moment the door opened, there was light in sight.

In the solemn hall, long lights are burning at random, with a faint smell of incense over the years. The shrines of the former Emperor and Xie's ancestors are enshrined, and portraits are hung on the shrines.

Xu Mingyi's eyes fell on the portrait directly above.

So this is the first emperor.

She glanced at the boy on her side.

Not at all.

Wu Chiu is like empress dowager and King Yan, and the rest is almost like the Wu family.

As for the first emperor

Xu Mingyi's eyes fell back on the portrait. She looked and found that emperor Qingming was quite similar to the former Emperor.

Next to the portrait of the former Emperor, hung another portrait of a woman. Xu Mingyi glanced at the memorial tablet - I think this should be the emperor's biological mother, the rumored empress Duanxian.

When Xu Shi died, he was still very young. The person in the painting looked only 20 or 30 years old. He was beautiful but not beautiful. His eyebrows and eyes were quiet, which was a bit of the quiet spirit of a small jasper.

Wu Chiu only looked at it, then took back his sight and asked her, "Zhaozhao, where is the thing?"

Xu Mingyi took him to the incense table.

On both sides of the long table in the hall, an enamel vase with a height of more than one person is placed in the left and right corners.

According to Princess Jing Rongchang's previous explanation, Xu Mingyi tried to remove the treasure bottle on the right. Wu Chiu saw it and stretched out his hand.

Behind the bottle is the empty temple wall.

Xu Mingyi's fingers groped inch by inch on the wall about the height of his shoulder.

Wu Tsung understood.

There are mechanisms here.

At this time, he saw the girl's white fingers pressing on the place, and the wall with hook silk and color painting suddenly and slowly sank in——

As the wall tiles recede and deepen, it can be seen that the depression is a square cavity about seven or eight inches in size.

Seeing that Xu Mingyi was going to stretch out his hand, he raised his hand and stopped, "be careful."

Even though he didn't know that the mechanism was informed by Princess Jing Rongchang, he was vigilant. He pulled out the long sword around his waist and tested it first. He realized that there was something in it, so he stretched out his hand and took it out.

Things should be put against the mechanism. As soon as they were taken out, the mechanism closed slowly again and restored the original flat wall.

What he took out was a long box, which was made of shady wood and locked.

The shady wood doesn't split easily, and the lock looks unusual——

Wu Tsui was thinking about whether to leave here first and then find another way to open it, but he saw a key handed to him.

He was a little surprised.

I thought what Zhaozhao said about "taking" was an implicit and appropriate statement... I didn't expect that I really came to take it. There was a key.

Xu Mingyi said, "the long princess gave me the key, and she hid it here in her early years -"

As for how the mechanism was set up, Princess Chang didn't mention it in detail, but she used to live with the Empress Dowager in the lingmiao temple for a long time, so she wanted to have a chance.

She looked at Wu Tsung and said, "come and open it."

It's better for him to open it than for her.

She subconsciously took another look at the portrait of the former Emperor. Wu Chiu met her here tonight. Maybe it was some kind of guidance.

With a snap, the lock was opened by Wu Tsui.
