Chapter 9 Palace Adventure

The lights on the palace walls in the distance gathered together and quickly rushed towards the inner palace.Then a sweet shout came: I am the chief guard of Zhaoming Palace!Open the door immediately!

When Cheng Zongyang heard this voice, he instinctively wanted to pull out his feet.

Yun Danliu!This girl’s movie actually entered the palace so quickly!

But Yun Danliu is faster.I saw a red cloud rising from the top of the wall, Yun Danliu's toes point a little on the top of the wall, crossing the palace wall like a lying crane and breaking into Taichu Palace, and flying towards the Shenlong Palace.

Xiao Yaoyi fought with the old eunuch in a tight battle, so Cheng Zongyang had to bite the bullet and block Yun Danliu's way, and raised his sword and shouted: Dead Baba!Eat a certain knife!

Yun Danliu was indeed slightly stunned, and somewhere else, the family named Yun came out of the family.Cheng Zongyang took the opportunity to take action, and his two swords pounced on Yun Danliu like roaring tiger teeth.

Yun Danliu knew that she had been trapped, and her face looked slightly angry. She flipped her palm and the long sword behind her jumped out, blocking the steel knife in Cheng Zongyang's left hand.

With a clang, Cheng Zongyang's steel knife almost broke.

The girl's single sword in her hand was four feet long, the blade was wide and thick, the handle was hollow, and a blue dragon with its teeth and claws was engraved on the blade.

The dragon's mouth opened angrily, chasing the crescent moon at the edge of the knife, and putting on the handle was an invincible big knife.

Cheng Zongyang's arm was slightly numb and he cursed inwardly: This girl actually took off the big knife as a single knife, and she was not afraid of being exhausted.

However, this girl's figure is taller than herself, her long legs are as strong as a crane, and a snow-white hand holding such a majestic sword, her aura is not something that can be covered.

The sword light shrouded himself under the fierce sword wind.

Wu Erlang's sword technique is mainly fierce, but when he encounters even more fierce, Cheng Zongyang had to change to the light and agile route and circling the attack with his two swords.

The left knife was blocked, and the right knife immediately attacked and slashed at Yun Danliu's neck.

As long as she can force her to take a step back, Xiao Yaoyi will get a headache when he frees up his hand.

Unexpectedly, Yun Danliu did not give in at all. The dragon sword swung obliquely to suppress Cheng Zongyang's steel knife in his left hand, and used a snow-white soft fu to face Cheng Zongyang's blade.

Cheng Zongyang didn't expect that this girl would be so reckless and dared to grab the knife with her bare hands, so he hurriedly stopped.

But Yun Danliu came very quickly, grabbed the steel knife with her bare hands, and then twisted it, and a strong and tough force surged in. The blade made of steel was twisted and deformed like a forging furnace.

Cheng Zongyang was shocked. This girl was practicing hard skills from outsiders. I don’t know if this hand was a golden bell cover or an iron cloth shirt. Anyway, it was much better than the little eunuch just now.

Seeing her blood-red cloak flying away, and her peaks wrapped in silver armor pressed towards her like a mountain, Cheng Zongyang had to throw away the twisted right-hand knife, and sprinkle the left knife from under Yun Danliu's dragon knife, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and sealing it with force.

Canopy!

Yun Danliu's pink fist hit the knife, and the blade made a heavy sound.

Cheng Zongyang was shocked.This girl's cultivation level is at least two levels higher than her. If she continues to fight, she will not be able to get any better.

Another guy without eggs!Take your life!

Xiao Yaoyi screamed strangely and flew over.

Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly retreated, and whispered as he passed by: Don’t hurt her!

The old eunuch grabbed his left elbow, and blood flowed down his sleeves, obviously suffering a great loss in Xiao Yaoyi's hands.

The three little eunuchs who rushed over were all injured. The imperial guards were still outside the door and could not enter for a while. If they didn't leave now, they wouldn't have to leave later.Cheng Zongyang stopped stopping and flew towards Taichu Palace.

Yun Danliu was entangled by Xiao Yaoyi and could not escape and chase him. The old eunuch stood aside, but ignored Cheng Zongyang, and his ghostly eyes were only staring at Xiao Yaoyi.

More than ten feet away from the palace wall, I saw two swaying flames closing from both sides outside the wall.

Cheng Zongyang turned around without hesitation and walked around the palace wall to find a gap.

There were more and more fires outside the wall. Although no one had already rushed in like Yun Danliu, the entire Taichu Palace was surrounded by the imperial guards.

If you cross the wall, you will immediately fall into the siege of the imperial guards.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Cheng Zongyang's mind, and he remembered a way out.He put his swords under his armpits, pressed his elbows tightly, and rushed towards the back of the hall.

The palace was filled with Taihu stones and piled up a rockery, which was only two meters high, not as high as the Shenlong Palace. However, the mountains were filled with ridges and strange rocks, but there were more than ten meters in a range of 10 meters.

A pavilion was built on the rockery, and swaying fires shot from outside the wall, and people were running around on the pavilion. You could see the long halberds held by the imperial guards and the crossbow that had been stringed and could be fired at any time.

Cheng Zongyang bent down and touched the direction in his memory based on the impression he had seen in the Lingfei Mirror. Soon his fingers touched a bare rock.

Most of the rockery rocks at the foot of the mountain are covered with moss, but this one seems to be often supported by people.Cheng Zongyang's heart moved and tried to shake it a few times.

The rock slid silently to the right, revealing a dark cave.Cheng Zongyang listened in a moment, then imitated Xiao Yaoyi's appearance and crawled in first and then.

The rockery slid back to its original position, and the sound outside was separated behind it.

Cheng Zongyang was not worried about Xiao Yaoyi. With the means of that little fox, neither Yun Danliu nor the old eunuch could keep him.

The real trouble is myself. God knows what monster is hidden in this cave.

After his eyes adapted to the darkness of the cave, Cheng Zongyang walked carefully into the cave.

The entrance of the cave is quite narrow, and you have to go sideways to enter. It gradually becomes empty inside, which allows two people to walk sideways, but the cave is curved and you have to bypass the huge rocks blocking the road from time to time.

If you only take a dozen steps, you will lose your position.

Cheng Zongyang simply ignored it and counted his steps secretly. When he reached 200 steps, two forks appeared in front of him, one of which faintly emitted a trace of light.

Cheng Zongyang chose another one without hesitation.It’s important to get out now. There is really something strange about it. It’s not too late to see it when you come back in the future.

After walking about four hundred steps, my feet suddenly became wet and I stepped on a puddle.Cheng Zongyang stopped, listened to the movements around him, and then found the waterproof fire folds from the water.

The waves flashed slightly in front of me, and it turned out to be a waterway hidden underground, with a black-sailed boat moored on the water.Such black-sailed boats can be seen everywhere in Jiankang City, but they cannot be uncomfortably seen in the secret passages of the palace.

Since there is a boat, there is an exit. Cheng Zongyang put away the fire folds, leaned over and dived into the water, and swam towards the end of the waterway.

puff!

Cheng Zongyang got out of the water and spat hard.

The surroundings are covered with reeds, and I am in the reed marsh. The tight walls of the palace city have been left behind.

During this trip to the palace, the expected ghosts and monsters were seen nothing, but a bunch of strange things happened.

The sleeping emperor in the Dragon Palace, the inconspicuous old eunuch, the fearless little eunuch, the underwater secret passage leading to the forbidden palace...

Where is Xiao Yaoyi?

Cheng Zongyang looked up and looked around. The fire on the city wall kept shaking. The search in the palace continued, but Xiao Yaoyi's boy disappeared.

Cheng Zongyang slapped his head and risked being discovered by the imperial guards, turning back to touch the water gate.

Gugu...

Cheng Zongyang learned two bird calls.

There was a slight sound on the water surface and a figure appeared.Xiao Yaoyi waved his hand at him, then let out a sigh, scaring me to death...

As he said this, he complained: Brother Cheng, why did you come?

I waited for you to come out until I saw you come out, but I thought about whether you were afraid of the dark and did not dare to walk on the night road.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: It turns out it is really Ah.

you do not say.

Xiao Yaoyi said aggrievedly: I have been hiding here for almost an hour. If you don’t come, I have to stand till dawn.

Xiao Yaoyi crawled out of the water and looked around strangely. How did Brother Cheng come out?

you guess.

Xiao Yaoyi sniffed: Green moss?Did Brother Cheng come out of the hole?

Dry!Your nose is more effective than a dog!

Cheng Zongyang talked about his passing from the secret passage, and Xiao Yaoyi was shocked.The inner court actually had a secret thought?

Is it a newly built?

Cheng Zongyang thought for a while: I think it was probably there when this Taichu Palace was built.

Xiao Yaoyi's face was gloomy and clear. It seemed that it was the secret secret used by Emperor Jin, and even I didn't know.

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows and pushed Cheng Zongyang with his elbow: Hey, who is that girl?It was really ruthless. If I hadn't been avoiding me quickly, she would have almost removed her arm.

Cheng Zongyang curled his lips.Miss Yun family.

Yun Danliu?

Xiao Yaoyi suddenly felt energetic, and with a light blow on his palm, he said with a gaze: What a tall and hot fire rose, I like it!

Less nonsense.

Cheng Zongyang whispered: Did you see something strange?

Yes, spell talismans were set up in several places in the palace to specifically restrain spells that peek from outside.

Xiao Yaoyi sneaked side by side with him. I guess that the old thing is probably the descendant of the Netherworld Sect.

Why did the Netherworld Sect jump out again?

There were dozens of sects of all sizes in the Six Dynasties, and the largest ones, such as Taiyi Zhen Sect and Yunchi Sect, all had tens of thousands of disciples.The Netherworld Sect is just a small sect, specializing in driving corpses and controlling ghosts.

Does this Netherworld Sect have a grudge against you Xingyue Lake?

Xiao Yaoyi said in confusion: No, right?

He thought about it for a while, but it was hard to say that Yue Shuai stepped on many people back then, and it was not unfair to say that his enemies were everywhere.Otherwise, why is the fourth brother so good in business?

No matter how many enemies there are, they are not as large as this, right?

Cheng Zongyang complained: I haven't seen your Yue Shuai's friend along the way, and I just bumped into his enemy!Speaking of which, even Yun had been stepped on by him.

Of course.

Xiao Yaoyi said indifferently: Mr. Yue held the power of the State of Song as a commoner, which was awesome in the world. Some people were glorious and some were unlucky, right?The same goes for Shuai Yue. I don’t know how many unlucky stepping stones I stepped on along the way.A mere Netherworld Sect, if you step on it, you will step on it.

Cheng Zongyang laughed: I just learned a sentence from Wu Zhanwei, what did you say - eating lamp grass, making a light fart.I ask you, what's wrong with your Majesty?

You'll be in a trait.

Xiao Yaoyi said easily: Who knows.

Little fox, do you want Emperor Jin to be unlucky?

Xiao Yaoyi said leisurely: There are treacherous ministers who plot against rebellion outside, and demons and officials inside. The chaos in Jin State is right in front of you, which is interesting and interesting!Xiao is not talented and has no means to turn the tide and uphold justice. However, he still has the ability to fan the flames, haha...

Less proud.

Cheng Zongyang said: I think Jiankang people live a peaceful life. Do you want to make the world so turmoil?

here we go again.Brother Saint, don’t worry.

Xiao Yaoyi put away his smile and said proudly: If Jiankang is in chaos, it is Xiao’s incompetence!The powerful and powerful in Jin State were reshuffled, and the street market was calm and peaceful, so I saw Xiao Yaoyi’s ability!

Xiao Yaoyi turned around, swam in the water easily face up, and smiled: The old dog was probably the nail buried in the palace by Xu Du.Our Xu Dasikong and General were determined to hold the inner palace in their hands, and there were soldiers from the state government outside to respond. Once he was in charge of the imperial guards, as long as he was under the name of Emperor Jin, a decree could make the King of Linchuan commit suicide. At that time, the military power would be in control, and perhaps he would be able to put on the imperial robe.

It would be too easy to usurp the throne like this?Those ministers and nobles will agree?Will the Wang and Xie families stand by and watch?

Xiao Yaoyi touched his chin.This is a question, and I wonder how Xu Du was confident of dealing with the wealthy families of the gentry.Not to mention anything else, the prince-in-law of the Wang family, Wang Chuzhong, who was the prince of Han'an, had managed the prefectures seriously, and most of the prefectures were his subordinates.Xu Du even wants to kill that guy, so he can't let him go, right?

You mean Wang Chuzhong will be in danger?

It's possible.

Xiao Yaoyi pondered: It seems that I have to find a way to meet this Lord Xu Du and Xu.

As he said that, Xiao Yaoyi raised his head and smiled: Three days later, I will go to Dongshan with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Huan Laosan, and Fatty Shi to hunt. Are Brother Cheng interested?

My business name is still choosing a location, so it may not be possible to find time.Besides...

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: You go to seduce those five hundred monks, it's nothing to do with me.

Xiao Yaoyi swam over and said affectionately: Your business is mine, my business is yours, Brother Cheng's words are too exaggerated.We have this incident today. If the people in the inner court have no worries, they will definitely summon the imperial guards and Xie Wanshi to ask questions.The big thing happened, and Prime Minister Wang Maohong could not escape.Then we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, why not do it?

Cheng Zongyang sneered: Will they be fooled by your trick?

Whether you will be deceived or not is different.

Xiao Yaoyi smiled and said: I'll give them a reason to give them the opportunity to suppress the Xie family. This is a fool who is unwilling to join.

This little fox is really smart.Cheng Zongyang sighed.You have set up all the traps, it seems that I must board this pirate ship.Three days later, three days later.

Several craftsmen from Yun's Bronze Warehouse watched the backpack for a while, especially the locking part.

Several people talked for a while, and finally, the leading old man in the white beard picked up his backpack and placed it respectfully in front of Cheng Zongyang.

It is not difficult to make this artifact of the young master, but the difficulty is this ingenuity.

The old man with white beard said: I have made bronze ware all my life and made many kinds of locks. It is the first time I have seen such clever and easy-to-use ones.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care about the zipper. He put his backpack aside and picked up the teacup with a smile: Please have tea, everyone.

After everyone had drunk tea, Cheng Zongyang said: Have you ever made gunpowder?

Everyone looked at each other, and Cheng Zongyang tried to explain: It was something that burned very hard and would explode.It seems to be made of charcoal, saltpeter, and what else is mixed together.

The white-bearded craftsman pondered for a long time.I have never heard of the gunpowder mentioned by the young master.However, there is a realgar method in the prescription of Ge Xianren, which is refined with realgar, Xuanduan, pine resin, and saltpeter.The immortal Ge said that the medicine refined was as white as ice, but after I tried it several times, the medicine I obtained was dark in color, and I didn't dare to take it.The young master said that the burning was particularly powerful and it was a bit close to this one, so it was convenient to use it to cause fire.

Is it black gunpowder?Why does this recipe sound so weird?What is Xuanduan?

Several craftsmen laughed, and it was the pig's intestine.

Cheng Zongyang was disappointed.I have never heard of using the pig intestine for gunpowder.These craftsmen are all masters of bronze ware masters. They are not professional in making gunpowder, so they may find a few Taoist priests who refine alchemy to be practical.

Then follow this.Remember to separate the fastener and the locker.

Several craftsmen said at the same time: Don’t worry, young master, the young people will come up with a solution to prevent others from learning.

Cheng Zongyang was stunned, and then waved his hand quickly, it had nothing to do with this.Zipper is just a piece of paper, and anyone can do it if it is pierced.I said that separation is to improve efficiency-oh, just do it faster.Since you cannot monopolize technology, you can surpass your opponent in terms of efficiency.

Several craftsmen were stunned. Finally, the white-bearded old man in the lead understood first. He stood up and bowed to Cheng Zongyang: I am ashamed that I am decades old and not as good as the young master.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: "You are so polite. You have eaten more food than I have. What is this insight?How hard it is for you guys. When these zippers are made, I still have a few small items to ask for help.

Several craftsmen left, and Qin Hui came in and said: Young Master, that piece of land has settled.

Where is it?How big is it?

To the west of Zhuque Bridge, on the south bank of Qinhuai River, it is located in Hengtang.It is thirty acres in size.

Cheng Zongyang said in surprise: Is there such a large open space on the banks of the Qinhuai River?

Qin Hui said: Both sides of the Qinhuai River originally lived in all the families.Unexpectedly, a fire last night burned more than a hundred households.

The households were burnt clean, leaving only a piece of white land, and are now being sold at a low price.I went down to see that an alley was burned clean, and there were at least thirty acres.

Such a coincidence?If you want to buy land, you will encounter a fire?Cheng Zongyang touched his chin: How much does it cost?

Each household demands 80 trump sums.It is enough to count eight thousand guan, which is enough to add four thousand gold coins.One thousand gold coins per one, four thousand gold coins are exchanged for thirty acres of land, the price is indeed not expensive.While pondering, Qin Hui said: Young Master, is the thirty acres of land a little bigger?

Cheng Zongyang thought for a while and found that thirty acres were just right, and they could not be smaller.

Qin Hui advised: Young Master, we are in a jewelry business, and one acre of land in the business is enough.

Cheng Zongyang took a sip of tea. As for the idea, we just opened a shop, put goods on, and waited for customers to come to the door, right?This idea is not bad, but the jewelry business is different from other things.Jewelry is not how much it is worth, but how much it should be worth by the buyer.

Cheng Zongyang stood up, the jewelry deal I opened was not only selling jewelry, but also selling services.

Qin Hui was confused when he heard this, and Cheng Zongyang patted his shoulder with a smile.If you are not good at doing business, you will definitely be able to understand Qi Laosi.It’s better to build a business and wait for the fourth brother to take care of it.

Qin Hui said: Another thing, Chang Bo sent someone to follow the instructions of the young master to follow the Buddha Cave Temple.At the fourth update last night, I saw the purple-faced man leaving the temple and heading towards Dongfu City.

Dongfucheng was originally a royal palace, but later changed to the Prime Minister's office. The city wall was built like the palace city, called Dongfucheng.

The purple-faced man did not go to Sikong's Mansion, but went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which surprised him.

Prime Minister Wang Maohong was born in the Wang family of Langya, and he said that he was Wang Chuzhong's younger brother. Could it be that Xiao Yaoyi was right that those people were ready to attack Wang Chuzhong?

Continue to send someone to stare at him.

Since Xiao Yaoyi has decided to hunt in Dongshan three days, he will not give them a chance to assassinate these days.It is best to take this opportunity to find Xu Du's foot.

Where are you going to?

Call Mr. Yun and take a look at the land together.Huh?Damn girl, what are you doing?

Xiao Zi held the snow-white lion dog in one hand and the jade tea cup commonly used by Cheng Zongyang in the other hand.The cup was filled with bright red liquid, and Xuexue stretched out her tongue and was licking it vigorously.

Cheng Zongyang suddenly turned around and said, is this...

Qin Hui nodded calmly, it's not bad.It was the wine that my subordinates bought at a high price according to the instructions of the young master.

Cheng Zongyang shouted in anger: Damn girl!I haven't drunk the wine yet, so you can feed it to the dog?What kind of dog is this?The wine is so exciting.

Spicy!

Xiao Zi threw the teacup away.I have a little left, so I'll do it for you.Come on, Xuexue, let's go out to play.

Xiao Zi put Xuexue on the ground, and the little lion dog was excited and rushed out like a torpedo, hitting the table's legs with a bang.

Cheng Zongyang quickly reached out and hugged the vase worth three thousand silver baht in his arms. He saw the lion dog spinning with four short legs, shaking twice as if drunk, and then his four legs were soft on the threshold, sleeping like a small pillow.

Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui were tempted, and finally Qin Hui said: This dog is drunk too much, that...it will be fine if you sleep for a while.Young Master, let's go.

Xiao Zi said: I want to go too!

Go ahead!Stay well at home.

Cheng Zongyang walked to the door and turned around, warning you again, stop bullying those girls!
