Outside Donghua Gate, in the inn room.
After Shi Qian identified Cai Wei, he went straight back and waited with Shi Xiu and Ou Peng.
This wait will wait until the middle of the moon.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, Shi Qian looked happy and said with a smile, "Brother is here."
He opened the door and said, "Brother, please hurry up and wait for us! There are rumors all over the city that Cai Ji has been assassinated, and my brother has not come back. I'm afraid something will happen to us."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, everything went well. It's just that when they escaped, they killed Han Wu from the Western Army Military Academy. They almost did something bad, so they had no choice but to let Teacher Shi take action, so they passed the test. The reason why I came back late was to socialize with that Han Wu. Fan, we will need him later."
Several people wondered: "Brother, why do you want to use him?"
Cao Cao said: "It would take a lot of time to elaborate. It's late now, and we have to do business urgently, so we will go according to the previous plan."
When it came to this serious matter, Shi Xiu had no other thoughts and quickly took out all the things he had prepared.
Several people changed their black water bottles, and Shi Qian went out for a walk alone first. The entire inn and every room occupied by people lit a stick of incense for him to give them a good night's sleep.
Then the four of them carried the wooden barrels prepared in advance, came to the courtyard, quietly got down to the Jinshui River, and went against the river to the palace.
Not long after, when they arrived at the secret gate of the river under the palace city, they saw a row of iron fences separating the inside and outside. Everyone had already expected such a thing and did not panic. They saw Shi Qian take out a round steel ball from his arms. After a little fiddling with it, it turned into a small handful of steel bars. Using his unique skill, he sawed through five iron bars in less than two sticks of incense, which was enough for the wooden barrel to enter and exit.
Several people pushed the barrels and sneaked in. Four people stood in a row, clinging to the shadow of the wall by the river, all the way upstream.
I walked around the river silently for seven or eight miles. I felt that the wall around me was getting lower and lower. After a while, the water surface suddenly opened up, surrounded by strange flowers and rocks, and green willow strips. lake.
The four of them hid themselves in the shadow of the willow tree, and Shi Qian whispered: "This is the Imperial Garden, and the Emperor's residence is in the palace on the right side of the garden."
According to everyone's previous deliberation, the most difficult part is here: those emperors who have not left the palace all live in one place. Everyone must leave the water and enter the palace, then find where Kangfu Emperor lives, and then take her out. During this period, no one should be disturbed. Return to the garden via the original route, and then use the waterway to escape.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Success or failure depends on one move! Ou Peng, don't let your bow and arrow go empty." Ou Peng patted the package behind his back and nodded vigorously.
Ou Peng and Cao Cao each have a waterproof package behind their backs, which contains bows and arrows. After landing, if they are seen by any eunuchs or palace maids, they must shoot them before the other party screams. Their task is extremely heavy.
The four of them exchanged glances and were about to get out of the water when they suddenly heard a faint sigh coming from not far away. Although the voice was soft, it was extremely clear in this silent garden. They were so frightened that they all sank down and stopped. Stayed.
For a moment, Cao Cao felt his palm slip and secretly cried out.
What's the reason? It turned out that among the four of them, Lao Cao was the weakest and short in stature, so he held the barrel and swam with the help of buoyancy. When he was frightened, the barrel, which was round and round, suddenly floated away from his hands. .
In an instant, Cao Cao became murderous and reached for the Yitian Sword on his back. It was difficult to shoot arrows in the water, so he prepared to throw the sword to kill.
Before the sword was unsheathed, he saw a thin figure walking to the shore. When he saw the wooden barrel floating on the water, he first said "Huh", and then sighed softly: "Hey, it turns out to be a barrel. It's really boring. If you can see it all from one end, What a great human tortoise! Please beg me. This tortoise carried me and swam and swam all the way to Laizhou. Brother Shi Xiu would be shocked when he saw it: Oh, Fu Jin, why did you come here on a tortoise? Me?"
Several people were surprised when they heard this, and quietly poked their heads out to see, only to see the moonlight shining like water, illuminating the lake with a silver light. On the shore was a girl of fifteen or sixteen, with a slender figure and a pretty face, standing on the shore with her mouth open. He was muttering and telling absurd stories to himself, with a dreamy smile on his face.
But the smile was fleeting. After he finished telling the story, probably knowing that it was impossible, his little mouth suddenly curled up and two lines of tears fell down.
Kangfu Diji!
Everyone was surprised and happy that this little girl couldn't sleep well at night and actually wandered into the garden alone! Wouldn't it be a bachelor's move? It would be so hassle-free!
Shi Xiu was even more moved. He remembered that this was the place where the two met last time. It was obvious that the Emperor was missing her so much that she came to the garden late at night to revisit her old place. The depth of her affection was evident.
I was so excited that I couldn't help but wanted to come forward to meet him, but I was grabbed by Cao Cao. I heard Cao Cao say in a deep voice: "I am the God of Jinshui River! Emperor Kangfu, you want a big turtle?" , why don’t you come to seek help from me?”
In the middle of the night, in the garden, human voices suddenly came from the water. No matter how brave you were, you would be startled, so Cao Cao quickly explained his identity in the first sentence: the God of Jinshui River.
The royal family of the Song Dynasty has always believed in Taoism, and these little emperors have been influenced by it since childhood and have no doubts about the theory of gods.
Sure enough, just when the emperor was about to scream, she covered her mouth, took a few steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "Water, water god?"
Cao Cao said: "That's right! Emperor Ji, don't be afraid. I am the righteous god of heaven. I show up today just to thank you for your sincerity. Do you want a big turtle?"
Di Ji was about to nod when she suddenly thought something was wrong. What kind of big turtle do I want? I want Shi Xiu!
He quickly knelt down, clasped his hands together, and prayed tremblingly: "I dare not hide it from Lord Water God. My little girl doesn't want a big turtle. I, I actually want Shi Xiu. He is the military commander of Laizhou."
Cao Cao said: "If you want Shi Xiu, it's easy. You just get into this world bucket of all corners of the world, and I will send you to see your Mr. Shi Xiu."
When Shi Qian heard this, he sank into the water, swam under the barrel, and carried the barrel straight to the shore, using the barrel to cover his body.
When Emperor Kangfu saw the bucket floating in front of her, how could she have any doubts? He suddenly laughed, opened the lid himself, and dug into the bucket. Shi Qian reached out and closed the lid. Inside, Emperor Kangfu was still envious: "Ah, it is indeed a fairy magic weapon, so she closed it herself."
Shi Qian turned around and saw everyone with smiles on their faces. This Di Ji stole it. It really took no effort at all!
Cao Cao took out a piece of cloth from his arms, put a stone on the bank, and the four of them pushed the bucket back along the original road silently.
Under the moonlight, the words on the strip of cloth were clearly written - "Cai Jing, an old dog, a castrated thief with a child's body, has bullied me, Wang Qing, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it. My granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are all mine. If you are free someday, I will take your dog's head." .”
Cao Cao and his party left the palace the same way they came, and returned to the inn without incident. The four of them took the bucket ashore and opened the lid. They saw the pretty little Emperor Ji, hugging her legs and closing her eyes, sitting obediently in the bucket. , with a sweet smile on his lips.
The three of Cao Cao shook their heads and laughed, then left to change their clothes. Behind them, Shi Xiu whispered softly: "Emperor Ji."
Then came Di Ji's soft and surprised cry: "Ah! Shi Lang, it's really you! I arrived in Laizhou so soon? The Jinshui River God is so powerful..."
Cao Cao smiled, turned his head slightly, and saw two figures hugging each other reflected in the moonlight.
Youfen teaches: The word "love" can communicate with the gods, and love is the most touching when it emerges. The golden water condenses and the bright moon reflects, so that the emperor will avoid sinking in the future.
